Volume 2 Song of the Morning Chapter 73 Three Things
The queen naturally doesn't know how to answer Emperor Hao's question, Gao Changyu's marriage is not something she can decide, in the deep harem, only Emperor Hao, Wan Guifei and the Queen Mother can decide Gao Changyu's marriage. Of course, Emperor Hao also knew what the queen was thinking, and asking just now was just a whim.
Dongfang confessed, Emperor Hao smiled, pressed the bitter queen back under his body, and continued the most primitive movement of human beings. It wasn't until the end of the fifth watch that the dormitory was quiet. On this day, the emperor had lunch in the queen's bedroom before leaving, and on this day, the queen was happier than the day she got married.
Today's sky is exceptionally clear, cloudless, and the blue sky is like a painting, neat and mesmerizing.
Emperor Hao went all the way to the west, but after a while, he arrived at the imperial study, first glanced at Li Xiao, who was lying flat on the bed with large limbs, and then slowly walked to the dragon case, rubbed the book in his hand that had been put on the night and stood for a long time......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Emperor Hao turned around and then ordered three things.
One of them is about the Wencheng Street incident. After a month, the Wencheng Street case has finally come to an end, although no one knows how this result came about.
According to the emperor's intentions, the mastermind of the Wencheng Street incident was a squire from the Ministry of Officials. The squire's surname was Cai Mingxu, and the reason for planning the assassination of Wenchengjie was his son, Cai Kun had friction with Li Xiao, and in order to vent his son's anger, he planned this assassination. The two assassins, the former Dongchang spy and the grassland warat, were specially found by Cai Xu, and the seven-star crossbow of the procuratorate was stolen by the spy of his joint procuratorate, as for the spy of the procuratorate, whether it was fictional or real, it is unknown. However, everything Cai Xu did was to vent his anger and blame everything on Dongchang and the procuratorate.
This result seems reasonable, but it always feels like something is wrong. But no one will continue to ponder this matter, after all, this matter has now been decided, and no one will refute the emperor's words for the sake of a squire, and no one has this mind.
For Cai Xu's backer, right minister Shi Song, there is just one less squire, even if this position is handed over to Yu Kangzhi by the emperor, it is not a big loss for him, perhaps, it is the best choice to let Wencheng Street end this matter as soon as possible. As far as Zuo Xiang Yu Kangzhi is concerned, it can be said that he didn't do anything, so he gained a squire, so that he had a chess piece in the ministry, and the harvest was not big, but in this incident, he can be said to be the biggest beneficiary.
As for Cai Xu's father and son, who are now in prison, they can only be described as unfavorable years. was originally promoted from Cangzhou and was able to seek a position in Jingshi City, but in less than two months after he came, because of the incident on Wencheng Street, he not only lost his official position, but now he even lost his life. Presumably, Cai Shilang at this moment must be pounding the ground and regretting it, looking at the mouse that slipped through the corner, and the old tears were full of tears. And Cai Kun, who was imprisoned with him, may not know why he ended up in such a situation. Wencheng Street? What is Man Shing Street?
There is another interesting phenomenon in which the Cai family's father and son were imprisoned. On the day when the news of the fall of the Cai family returned to Cangzhou, in just a few days, a lot of ugly things about the Cai family's father and son were reported.
The name of Cai Kun's talented son was obtained by his father Cai Xu by relying on his position, and those poems were also bought by Cai Xu at a large price, the first of the talented sons of Cangzhou, and it was just a vain name. In addition to this matter, Cangzhou also spread a lot of news about Cai Xu's erosive life, what gold house hides Jiaojiao, what occupies the people's daughters, etc., I don't know if it is groundless, or it is true. But I have to say that the matter of the Cai family instantly became the talk of the people of Cangzhou after dinner.
The so-called wall falling down and everyone pushing it should be like this.
All in all, the emperor's final trial of the Cai family was held two days before the Haoguo scientific expedition, and for some reason, it was originally arranged to be beheaded after the autumn, but in just one night, it was so many days earlier. Maybe it's to let the world's readers take it as a warning.
The second is a matter of the future Haoguo scientific expedition.
As mentioned above, the scientific examination of Chenghua is different from that of previous dynasties, and His Majesty of Haoguo today reformed the scientific examination system at the beginning of his accession to the throne, canceling the annual spring and autumn examinations, and changing them to an annual examination, which is at the beginning of July every year.
It is also the influence of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, this scientific expedition has been postponed for a few days, but it will also be carried out in the near future.
There are three kinds of big exams, the first is the examination of children and talents, which is generally arranged by the festival envoys of various continents; The second is that each continent province will conduct a school examination one month before the scientific examination, and the top 20 in each continent can come to Beijing to participate in the final examination; This third kind is the scientific examination in early July every year, which is also the most important examination in the whole Hao country.
Of course, there may be fraud in the school examinations of various continents, so in addition to the school examinations, talented people who have not passed the school examinations can also come to Beijing to participate in the make-up examination.
Make-up exams are held throughout the year, and before July, those who pass take the scientific examination in early July, and after July, the next year's exam begins. There are also other restrictions on make-up examinations, which will be discussed later.
To get back to the point, for this scientific examination, the emperor meant that it would be carried out as scheduled, but an additional chief examiner was added, from the original four to five. Its fifth person is the new Sicang of Jingzhao Yin Mansion to join the army, Li Xiao.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who got the instructions were also confused, and the officials in charge of the scientific examination were generally famous ministers in the imperial court, although Li Xiao had six masterpieces in his body, but after all, he had no fame, and he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Some young and vigorous officials wanted to play and asked Emperor Hao to think twice, but those who were old and had been in the officialdom for several years were busy stopping the former. From the appointment in front of the palace, to the admission of Li Xiao to rest in the palace, and then to the increase in the number of scientific examiners today, there is a piece of information. The emperor intends to cultivate our little poet immortal, Li Xiao.
Moreover, Sicang joined the army, and he was also responsible for the civil service examination. Although it has nothing to do with scientific research, it barely rubs a point. It is also because Jingzhao Yin Mansion has been ignored by everyone for many years, and he didn't think of Si Cang's duty to join the army for a while, it seems that the emperor's reward last night was not arbitrary. It is estimated that Emperor Hao wants to use this scientific expedition to increase Xiao Shixian's political achievements, so that he can be awarded a higher official position in the future.
Although the emperor's arrangement is a bit nonsense, his attention to the little poet fairy Li Xiao is obvious.
After instructing the follow-up of the Wencheng Street incident and the scientific expedition, the third thing is related to the changes in the Northland grassland. After a long period of three months, the emperor finally made clear arrangements for the affairs of the Northland grasslands.
It all started the night before the birthday feast. That night, a fast horse galloped into Beijing, and then galloped into the palace to meet the emperor. It's about the Northland Prairie.
According to the news from the palace, the person who caused the changes in the Northland Grassland, Anamzar, led more than 100 people into the depths of the Northland Mountains, and the rest of the integrated departments stayed outside the mountains and waited.
No one knows the purpose of Anamzar's entry into the mountain, but according to the speculation of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, it must be related to something deep in the mountain. As for the thing in the depths of the mountain, no one knows what it is, I'm afraid we won't know until that thing is born, but Anamzar's move is precisely to show his purpose - to go south to the Central Plains. And according to the various information collected by Haoguo recently, it has proved this.
When Emperor Hao got the news, he urgently summoned the ministers of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War that night, and in just one night, he made a response plan to the Northland grassland. This is also the reason why the secretary of the military department and the ministers of the Privy Council did not come to the birthday banquet.
For the Northland Grassland, Emperor Hao's meaning is naturally one word, "hit". Haoguo is still martial, and the battles that can be fought will not be left unfought, and they will find a way to fight, especially against the Warat clan in the northland grassland.
This time the northern expedition to the grassland is the three traditional battalions of Haoguo, namely the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion, at the same time, the border army near the north is assisted, in the spring of the next year, Yang Qiankun, the secretary of the military department, is the commander, and several generals of the imperial court go north to the grassland. According to the prediction of the Privy Council, at the beginning of spring in the coming year, Anamzar should also come out, and his first thing at that time is to integrate the steppe tribes and invade the south together, and at that time, there will be no tribes opposing him, after all, the Heshute tribe is a lesson from the past.
Regarding Emperor Hao's arrangement, no one raised any objections. Yang Qiankun, the secretary of the military department, was a general who had returned from the border fortress, and he also had a lot of understanding of the situation in the north, and he was also a master of today's nine products, familiar with military books, and experienced, so he could be said to be the best candidate for this northern expedition. However, to the surprise of the ministers, Emperor Hao did not ask for the royal conquest this time, of course, even if Emperor Hao made this request, it would be rejected by the Privy Council and the two ministers.
There is another matter, which is the problem of the Western Liang Kingdom.
The Northern Expedition will inevitably make Hao's domestic military strength insufficient, and over the years, the Western Liang State has been constantly recruiting troops, if during the Northern Expedition, the Western Liang State suddenly tore up the agreement on peaceful coexistence and raised troops to the east, when the time comes, I am afraid that the Hao State will be overwhelmed, which is also one of the reasons why the Hao State has not responded to the Northland Grassland. But this time, it seems that Haoguo's preparations do not seem to be concerned about this issue.
After arranging these things, Emperor Hao held his heavy head and squinted slightly. I did work hard last night, and this is the first sound. However, for two hours, he couldn't help but sigh that the age of a woman like a wolf and a tiger is indeed not covered. I didn't sleep last night, and now I'm sleepy.
"Your Majesty, Master Li is awake." The side hall thought that the palace maid was stepping on the lotus step and walked quickly, stood still, and bowed to the road.
Master Lee? Emperor Hao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, laughed, suddenly came to his senses, and said, "Let him come over." ”
ps: A new month, a new beginning, a new ticket.
