Chapter 0037: Clay Statue (I)

In the early hours of the morning, there was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, and the courtiers were already waiting outside Sima Gate, ready to go to court.

Chen Ping stood alone in the place where he was writing, his hands around his belly, and he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

Different from the past, seeing Chen Ping's appearance, the courtiers not only did not come forward to greet and talk, but inadvertently avoided a little...

Zhou Bo, who had just arrived, stepped out of the carriage and couldn't help but be secretly worried when he saw this situation.

"The prime minister is well."

stepped forward and bowed, and saw Chen Ping slowly open his eyes, and bowed slightly and replied: "Taiwei is well." ”

Zhou Bo glanced at the courtiers around him who were afraid to avoid him, and then looked at Chen Ping's indifferent appearance, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and stepped forward and whispered: "Prime Minister..."

Chen Ping raised his hand slightly and stopped Zhou Bo's unfinished words: "The old man knows." ”

said, smiled indifferently: "Don't worry." ”

Seeing that Chen Ping was confident, Zhou Bo calmed down a little, and rubbed his forehead.

It wasn't until last night that the reward of the Northern Army was completely completed, and Zhou Boen used both power and strength, and picked out a few piercing heads to draw a military whip, which was able to stabilize the Northern Army.

Seeing Zhou Bo's tired appearance, Chen Ping was about to ask, when he saw the young eunuch hurriedly come over and said, "Prime Minister, yesterday..."

Halfway through his words, seeing Zhou Bo on the side, the young eunuch hurriedly stopped his mouth again, asked, 'Taiwei is well', and then bowed down and stood aside, no longer speaking.

The appearance of the young eunuch made Chen Ping feel a little uneasy in his heart, so he urged: "Jiang Hou is not an outsider. ”

Hearing this, the young eunuch looked up at Zhou Bo, and then at Chen Ping's faintly angry face, so he had to grit his teeth, get closer, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday's person, followed..."

Zhou Bo heard it in a fog and inexplicably, but Chen Ping's complexion changed suddenly, and the gaze that was gentle a moment ago instantly sharpened, and he glared at the young eunuch fiercely.

"Knives and saws, you can't wait!"

The young eunuch's face suddenly became bitter, and he said remedied: "When that person walked away, he was seriously injured, and he should not live long..."

Chen Ping was about to scold again, but Sima Gate slowly opened, and a waiter walked out from the inside and bowed his hand to Chen Pingyao: "Prime Minister, it's time to enter the court." ”

Chen Ping was furious and adjusted his clothes indiscriminately, snorted coldly from the side, and walked towards the palace with his hands in his hands.

After Chen Ping walked out, the courtiers slowly moved and entered the palace one after another.

············

Sitting on the collapse of the main hall of Weiyang Palace again, Liu Hong's heart was full of fire, but he couldn't do it.

The undulating heads in the hall of the young envoy, Liu Hong couldn't help but pull out the sword that Qin Mu was holding beside him, and go up and cut them down one by one!

But he knew in his heart that the time had not yet come...

"Your Majesty: There are six vacancies in Jiuqing today, the government decree is not smooth, and the officials are uneasy."

"Ministers foolishly think that they should choose the good and let them go."

This is what Chen Ping got along with and how to stabilize the stability of the political alliance.

What the princes and ministers can get from the Shaofu is nothing more than yellow and white things after all; Comparatively speaking, the value of Jiuqing Yamen is undoubtedly higher!

Using Jiuqing's position to buy the noble ministers can not only reverse the situation of the alliance, but Chen Ping can also use this to completely control the government and truly achieve 'serving Zhou Gong Yiyin and Ansheng Li Shu'!

Although it is said that there are only a few vacated seats in Jiuqing, not everyone can sit on them, but Jiuqing is also equipped with one to six cheng, as well as a different number of prisoners; It's enough to install Chen Ping's allies.

Hearing this, Liu Hong sneered in his heart, but his face was full of indifference: "Zongzheng, non-clan elders can't win, I mean, Fengchang Liu doesn't doubt the right thing to lead the sect, what does the prime minister think?" ”

Before the words fell, the ministers of the court and the central government became commotion and talked in low voices.

One person holds the position of two Jiuqing chiefs at the same time?

There has never been a precedent in the dynasty!

Chen Ping in the hall was only slightly surprised, and then bowed down and said, "Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty..."

First, Zongzheng does have the unspoken rule of 'non-Liu Beqing', not from the old Liu family, and he can't suppress those 'royal blood' surnamed Liu.

Now in the clan in Chang'an, only Liu Budo can barely be regarded as an 'elder'.

Second, ···

If Jiuqing is ranked in order of status, Zong Zheng definitely has a chance to compete for the penultimate first!

What really surprised Chen Ping was: Liu Hong actually wanted Zongzheng?

This is beyond Chen Ping's expectations!

Now, there are six vacancies in the Jiuqing of the DPRK, even if it is to block the mouths of the gossip parties in Chang'an City, Chen Ping has to make a show, take out one or two of them, and hand them over to Liu Hong.

In Chen Ping's expectation, Liu Hong either wanted Shaofu or Weiwei!

Or even both!

Chen Ping had already prepared a draft in his chest, and was fully prepared to fight on the basis of reason, so as to ensure that Shaofu and Weiwei were in control.

As a result, Liu Hong was so 'sensible', he took away the most useless Zongzheng as soon as he opened his mouth, so that Chen Ping didn't know for a while if he responded...

Chen Pingzheng was secretly happy, and saw that Liu Hong on the imperial stairs was not sad or happy: "I am young, and I am not a virtuous person in the Ming Dynasty; The rest of the five secretaries, please also ask the prime minister not to hesitate to mention them. ”

As he spoke, Liu Hong also stood up and bowed down slightly to show respect.

The well-behaved appearance made Chen Ping a little suspicious, this was still not Liu Hong who stood with a sword outside Beique that day!

Unable to make up his mind, Chen Ping decided to test it a little and then make plans.

I saw that Chen Ping's face was upright, and he talked eloquently: "Pawn Liu Jie, in the rebellion of Zhulu in the past, there were nine thieves of the Lu family, and there were countless thieves!" ”

"The minister foolishly thinks that he should be appointed to the post of internal history in order to encourage his loyalty and bravery..."

As he spoke, Chen Ping's eyes went on an expedition, staring at Liu Hong's face, unwilling to let go of any details!

Internal History, the full name of Zhisu Internal History, can be seen from the name that this official position is mainly related to grain.

When Gaozu Liu Bang was in the world, the people were devastated, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived; Then he established a person in the history of Su Nei, ranked in Jiuqing, and was responsible for persuading farming.

In other words, the original duty of Neishi was to find a way to let those people who hid in the ravines because of the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu and Han dynasties to come out, go to the government to take away the land given by Liu Bang, and then farm the land honestly.

But whether in later generations or now, officials are born with the instinct to seize power!

- If you want to persuade the refugees hiding in the mountains to come down, you have to have armed forces to ensure their safety so that they will not be attacked by bandits, right?

- If you want to persuade farming, do you still have to protect the people's land from being plundered? Then you have to register the acres of land and issue a land deed?

- Since you want to persuade farming, Emperor Gaozu gave the land, and you can't give them a grain seed? If there is no food in that country, Neishi has to go to the market to buy it! Merchants are cunning, in order to avoid the country being cheated by merchants, it is also necessary to control the market, right?

In this way, the internal history has changed from the official position of 'persuading farming' in the early Han Dynasty to now having full authority to manage the fields and acres in Guanzhong, the nine cities of Chang'an, and the public security in Guanzhong, and its authority and scale are second only to Shaofu's second largest monster!
