After Song Hong and Fan Kuan lost power one after another, the Dingxi Dynasty was qualified to replace them, reorganize and unite the vested interest faction, or the indigenous conservative faction, and confront the overseas Chinese and Han scholars represented by Xin Er, a total of three people, Lu Shuang, Zhang Hun, and Chen Sun. Among the three, Koji is Ling Hufeng's uncle, and Koji Shuang is now Ling Hule's father-in-law, compared to Chen Sun and Zhang Hun, his qualifications are actually the hardest.

But now, these three people are like Koji Shuang, even if his qualifications are the hardest, but his reputation and virtue are insufficient, and he lacks foresight, especially after Ling Huyan blocked his door and scolded him last year, his prestige is declining even more, not to mention the vast number of scholars in Dingxi, who are his former officials, like Guo Daoqing, who have some knowledge, have already separated from him, and they are almost reinvested in Xin Er's account, so he can't replace Song Hong and Pan Kuan.

For example, Zhang Hun's reputation in terms of fame and virtue is enough, but as soon as he came, his family had not yet stepped out of the shadow of being cleaned up by Linghu Feng, and he could not get the full support of Lu Shuang and Chen Sun, because he could not be the replacement of Song Hong and Pan Kuan.

For example, Chen Sun, on the surface, he is one of the ministers who care for his life, and his past reputation is also very good, and it seems that he can completely catch Song Hong and Pan Kuan's class, but the problem is that the Chen family is not an indigenous scholar, his family is an overseas Chinese scholar, and the root reason why his family can always stand tall in the court and have a noble status is mainly because his family and the Linghu family are fellow villagers and world friends, and the Chen family itself is actually not very deep in the Longzhou Shiliu, and Chen Sun is a reluctant bird, so he can't be this representative.

In short, now the two major factions in the Western Dynasty have been formed, on one side is the indigenous scholar faction, on the other hand is the overseas Chinese and Han scholars, in terms of numbers alone, the indigenous scholar faction still has the upper hand, but only because the indigenous scholars faction, at present there is no leader to return to the public, so that the shape is scattered sand, close to the rabble, it is empty with a numerical advantage, but it is no match for the overseas Chinese and Han scholars led by Xin Er.

In this context, coupled with Zuo's trust, no matter what the policy is, as long as Xin Er is determined to implement it, then even if he encounters a little resistance, he will be able to succeed in the end.

This is the case with the establishment of military governments in Shazhou, Xihai, and Shuofang.

The same is true of the Tiefu Xiongnu who divided the pastures on the north bank of the Yellow River and west of Xi'anyang to the Shuofang military government and the cadres of Zhao Ran.

In the court meeting, after Tang Ai played these two things, after the opposition of several indigenous scholars, but the small twists and turns that had no effect, these two political measures were successfully passed.

Zuo asked the Ministry of Internal History (Zhongshu Province) to draft a decree, and when the decree was written, it was sent to her for reading, and then it was issued to Zhongtai for immediate formal implementation.

Xin Er cited Zhang Shao's "fake festival, supervising Shuo Fang's military, Shuo Fang's Taishou, and General Wuwei as before", and Zhao Rangan's "Shuo Fang Du Lieutenant", these two personnel appointments were also passed.

Several matters were discussed, and the officials of the three provinces played some other government affairs, and when it was almost noon, the court meeting ended.

It is still the same as when entering the palace, led by Xin Er, followed by the ministers, and bowed.

The ministers flocked out of the hall, and Xin Er was about to leave, when a eunuch came to him and said respectfully: "Gong Xin, please stay for a while." ”

"Oh?"

"The Queen Mother has something to ask."

Xin Er stood still.

Wait until Lu Shuang and other ministers all go out, and then ask the eunuchs in the palace to serve Ling Hule and leave first, and only Zuo's, Xin Er, and Manyuan, and Fanjing are left in the palace.

Xin Yi walked to the bottom of Danqi and said, "Queen Mother, the eunuch said that the Queen Mother has something to ask the minister?" ”

"Not bad."

"I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to ask?"

Zuo smiled and groaned, and did not answer Xin Er directly, but asked a rhetorical question, and said, "Guess." ”

There was naughtiness in her tone, coupled with her familiar and beautiful appearance, dignified clothes, and plump jade body, which gave Xin Er a different kind of emotional touch.

But it's really "familiar and informal", with more and more private contact with Xin Er, the two get to know each other more and more, not only Xin Er sometimes says something like a joke with Zuo, but Zuo may also make a joke about Xin Er now.

Xin Er said solemnly: "Guess, what the Queen Mother wants to ask must be about God's love for pregnancy." ”

"General, your complexion is a little dark, and people are smart about ice and snow."

"Where is the minister Bingxue smart, the queen mother is like a god, in front of the queen mother, the minister is like a toad in the mud."

Standing behind Zuo's family, the maid of the second palace of the Van Realm snickered.

Zuo also chuckled.

She smiled like a flower and said, "God loves to marry you for two years, and I am finally pregnant, and I am very happy to have your report last night." Tomorrow I will summon God Ai into the palace and talk to her in a good way, and you should not stop you when you arrive. ”

"How dare you! Don't hide it from the queen mother, God loves to play, the minister is worried, if she refuses to listen to the minister, or drink, shoot and hunt non-stop, I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus. Tomorrow, God loves to enter the palace, and the minister implores the Queen Mother to teach her more how to have a baby! ”

"God's love is indeed playful, and I really have to teach her this."

"God loves others and does not listen to them, but only listens to the Queen Mother, and if the Queen Mother is willing to teach her, the minister will be relieved." From Xin Er to Danqi, Zuo's eyes never left him, Xin Er felt that she seemed to have something to say, so he then asked, "Queen Mother, is there anything else to ask the minister?" ”

"Something is true."

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, what's the matter?"

Zuo Shi said curiously: "I don't know who the baby conceived by God's love will be like after giving birth?" If it's a daughter, I hope to love like God, and if it's a son, maybe it will be like you? ”

Xin Er replied: "Please remove the word 'maybe' from the Queen Mother and be confident." ”

Zuo and Manwan Realm laughed again.

Zuo said: "General, I have ordered the palace to prepare a few sets of clothes for the fetus in the womb of God's love, which can be made about tomorrow, and when it is done, I will send someone to your house." ”

Xin Er said: "Queen Mother, Shenai has just been pregnant, and I don't know if she is pregnant with a man or a woman, this dress?" ”

"I wonder what the relationship between men and women is? Just make a few sets of each. ”

Xin Er looked like he was quite sorry for his money, and said, "That's a waste." ”

Zuo said with a smile: "General, I know that you have always been thrifty, but a few sets of clothes can still be done in the palace." Besides, there is nothing wasted, this time it is not used, next time God loves, Garo will be pregnant again,...... By the way, aren't you going to take the bald and wild sister as a concubine? Perhaps, after the bald and wild sister enters your house, it will not be long before she will get pregnant, maybe those empty clothes will be used? ”

Hearing Zuo's gentle voice and seeing Zuo's beautiful appearance, Xin Er's heart suddenly surged, and he said, "...... minister"

"How are you?"

"......" Xin Er swallowed what he wanted to say with great difficulty, for fear that he would lose his temper and dare not look at Zuo again, he lowered his head again, tried to calm his mind, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." The Queen Mother is deeply grateful, and the ministers don't know how to repay it. ”

"I don't need you to report it."

"Huh?"

Zuo said softly: "Fang Jinhai civil war for a hundred years, the people of the north are displaced, although I have not seen it in person, I have heard of its tragic situation, I only hope that you will help me, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment, not suffering from the war, and you and I can be happy today, it is the best!" Her eyes were like water, and she called him in small characters instead, and said, "Agua, do you know? I pray in front of the Buddha every day, praying that the Buddha will bless me with the west wind and rain, and bless your wife with peace. ”

Xin Er was touched by Zuo's words, bowed to the ground, and said movingly: "The Queen Mother is compassionate, the Buddha has a spirit, and will definitely meet the Queen Mother's wishes." ”

After chatting and talking for a while, when the meal was over, the eunuchs came in and invited Zuo to eat. The Zuo family left Xin Er, and the two ministers sat opposite each other and had lunch together. After that, Xin Ernai withdrew from the palace.

At the gate of the palace, I met Wang Yifu.

Wang Yifu was sweating profusely, and the eunuch robes on his body were soaked with sweat, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Xin Er coming out of the palace, he hurriedly greeted him, saluted and smiled, and said, "The villain greets Xin Gong." ”

Xin Er's footsteps didn't stop, waved his hand casually, and said, "Get up." ”

Wang Yifu responded: "Yes." He got up, trotted to catch up with Xin Er, and whispered, "Gong Xin, yesterday I begged Cao Shi to enter the palace, saying that I was ordered by Gong Xin." ”

Xin Er nodded.

Wang Yifu said: "Huang Shizhong and Song Shilang went out of the palace with the beggar Cao Shi. ”

Xin Er had already arrived at the car, frowned, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Wang Yifu hurriedly threw away all the nonsense, went straight to the point, and said: "What the villain wants to give to Gong Xin is that when Huang Shizhong and Song Shilang returned to the palace, there was nothing abnormal in Huang Shizhong, but Song Shilang was preoccupied, and when he got out of the car, he almost tripped and fell. ”

Xin Er suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Wang Yifu said in a panic: "Although the villain is lowly, he also has the sincerity of loyalty, Song Shilang is high and powerful, but yesterday he was like a lost soul, the villain is worried, will he miss the country's major affairs because of this, and he will have the courage to give this matter to Duke Xin." Beggar for forgiveness! ”

Xin Er looked at Wang Yifu's eyes, and said in his heart: "But he is a clever person who can speak." Turning slightly angry, he said, "Okay, I see." He didn't pay much attention to him anymore, and since boarding the car, Wei Shu, the father of Wei Xian, who is on duty today, led the escort and went in a crowd.

Thinking that Xin Er is not only a very popular minister, but also has been on the battlefield for a long time, Hugh sees that he is gentle and elegant in front of the Zuo family, but in front of his subordinates and subordinates, he is not angry and arrogant. If you are not angry, you are still angry? His anger really scared Wang Yifu a lot, until Xin Er's car had turned the corner and he couldn't see it, and his legs were still weak.

Although his legs are weak, Wang Yifu's mood is very high.

As he returned to the palace, he thought, "Although Gong Xin was angry at first, his face turned mellow, which shows that my answer is still more in line with Gong Xin's wishes." After making sure that he had done the right thing, he was a little sorry to be happy and relaxed, and said in his heart, "But Gong Xin doesn't seem to have any interest in Song Shilang's matter!" It's no wonder that when Song Shilang left the palace, he was clearly going to see Gong Xin, why he was so worried, Gong Xin must be clear, of course, he was not interested in it. …… But he said, what kind of thing would Xin Gong be interested in? …… Koji Ling and other things, Xin Gong will probably be interested in? It's a pity, Koji Ling and the others didn't enter the palace yesterday, and there was nothing to say about Supervisor Zhang and Chen Shizhong! But I'm not in a hurry, I'm not normal in the palace, just need a little more patience, I want to wait until sooner or later when something that Gong Xin is interested in, when Gong Xin appears! ”

"Zhang Supervisor", that is, Zhang Hun, the internal history supervisor; "Chen Shizhong" is Chen Sun, who is the Yellow Gate Shizhong.

……

The next day, the Ministry of Internal History drafted two decrees, which were presented to Zuo's for reading, and after Zuo's reading, they were all sent to Zhongtai.

Lu Shuang asked for Xin Er's approval, and then transferred the requirements of the second decree to the specific person in charge of the six ministries.

The officials in the six ministries of the lower three provinces, although there are still some officials with right surnames who do not understand government affairs, such as Song Pian, but most of them are people of hard work selected by Xin Er, and the operation of the entire government affairs is smooth and fast, which can be described as a huge difference compared with earlier.

It only took two days for the various policies to address the contents of these two decrees and began to be implemented.

First of all, the decree of setting up military governments in the three places was sent to Shazhou, Xihai, and Shuofang respectively, and at the same time, there were capable officials of the central platform who went with the decree to be responsible for the specific operation.

Secondly, the will to reward Zhang Shao, Zhao Rangan and others and the rewards to Zhang Shao and other meritorious soldiers in each battalion were sent by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and they also went to Shuofang to convey and send them; The task of measuring and filing the area of grassland in Hebei and allocating grassland is handled by officials sent by the Ministry of Industry.

Again, according to the convention, the families of the battalion soldiers are to be transferred from the army, but because of the attack on Shuofang, it is necessary to travel thousands of miles to the desert sea, in order to reduce the pressure of logistics and supply, so Zhang Shao's battalion soldiers, their families did not join the army this time, and now in Xiyuan City in Guyin, the household department sent officials to inform them that from now on, they will no longer be camp households, but the matter of organizing households and people, in addition, the household department and the military department have joined forces to implement the relocation of the families of these soldiers who have newly become household Qi people to Shuofang. -- They must not only be moved, but the households are destitute, and they must be given a certain amount of cattle as a basis for grazing, and this matter, in the same way as the measurement and distribution of pastures, is also under the control of the Ministry of Works, and it is responsible for sending people.

Again, at the meeting of the Celestial Empire, one of the several things that the officials of the six ministries performed was related to "enriching the mouth of the people of Shuofang", that is, to remove the prisoners detained in the states and counties of Dingxi Kingdom from the heinous ones and the like, and the rest of them were exiled to Shuofang. This matter was also handled.

And so on and so forth.

In the city of Guyin and outside the city, for a while, it was in full swing.
