People are sitting at home, joy comes from the sky, Zhao Yuan doesn't know whether he should be happy or worried at the moment. Zhao Yuan, who was thinking about the long term, had already sent a lot of people to inquire about the news. And in the DPRK, even if it is the power center of Houshu, Zhao Yuan has his own sources, but this time the news came so suddenly.

Different from the joy of others after being promoted, Zhao Yuan's first thought was that his small actions in the past few years had been exposed.

He has never participated in a scientific expedition and has no fame, but he was suddenly promoted, and this time this official is not small, the first official of a state, no matter how you think about it, it is a very ridiculous thing

"Let's find out, what's going on?" Zhao Yuan's face was full of seriousness, and in his heart, the joy of the outstanding performance of his subordinates and employees dissipated.

"Yes, sir." Shao Meng, who was in charge of intelligence work, was also confused at this time.

Zhao Yuan's first thought was because of the impact of the recruitment of displaced refugees. But even if he wanted to break his head, Zhao Yuan couldn't imagine that his promotion this time was actually because someone mentioned himself......

### (Partially fictitious, please do not make real historical facts.) ）###

Chen (Chengdu) Mansion, all the officials in the court were in an uproar, and they didn't understand why Emperor Meng Chang suddenly gave such a high official position to a person who didn't know at all, which was the chief official of a state.

Although Meng Chang has been relatively ridiculous in the past few years, such a major event should be discussed in the court in advance to see what kind of virtue and ability this person has.

On this day, Meng Chang was in the palace and wrote poems and lyrics with Mrs. Hua Rui, playing and playing.

Li Hao, the prime minister who couldn't wait to find out the truth in the morning of the next day, came to ask for a meeting and wanted to talk to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the prime minister came to ask for a meeting at this time, there must be something important, go and see it." Madame Hua Rui saw the impatient Meng Chang and persuaded her.

"What else can there be, Concubine Ai, isn't it just that the person you recommended to me was made an official, and a group of people were there with broken mouths." Meng Chang said indifferently, although he is ridiculous now, he is not ignorant of the movements of the officials in the DPRK and China.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that, if your words are known to Master Li, you won't be allowed to participate in my harem politics." Madame Blossom said anxiously.

"Don't be afraid, concubine, I know, you just told me that Meizhou Zhao Yuan is not ordinary, he may be a person with great talent. And I, I happen to have an impression of this person, and it just so happens that the history of Meizhou has been vacant for a long time, since he has great talent, so why not let him give it a try. Compared with his irritability with others, Meng Chang spoke softly to Mrs. Hua Rui.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, and please take your Majesty's state affairs as a priority, go and meet Master Li." Madame Blossom persuaded.

Although Mrs. Hua Rui was born in Kabuki, she is not only beautiful, but also outstanding in literature, both talent and color, and good form and spirit. In recent days, even in the harem, she knows that the situation in Shu is not good now, and the menacing Northern Song Dynasty has held the east and north directions of Shu hostage.

On the occasion of drifting, Mrs. Hua Rui, who had read a few books "written" by Zhao Yuan, felt that Zhao Yuan had the talent to be in the world, so she mentioned it to Meng Chang, which led to Zhao Yuan's rapid promotion.

"Then listen to the concubine, wait for me for a while, wait for me to meet, my prime minister, see what he says." Hearing Mrs. Hua Rui's repeated persuasion, Meng Chang couldn't bear her being anxious, so she had to go to meet Li Hao.

When it comes to Mrs. Hua Rui, she is a famous talented woman in history, and after the fall of Houshu, her "Poems on the Death of the Country" is even more famous through the ages.

The flag was lowered on the tree in the king's city, and the concubine knew it in the deep palace.

140,000 people were disarmed, and not a single man was a man.

Of course, these are all afterwords, at this time, Meng Chang went to the Qinzheng Hall to meet Prime Minister Li Hao.

"Minister Li Hao knocks to see Your Majesty." After waiting for a long time, Li Hao finally waited for Emperor Meng Chang.

Li Hao can be regarded as a legendary figure, of course, the reputation of this legendary figure is not very glorious, he wrote and drafted the surrender table twice, once Wang Yan surrendered to Later Tang Zhuangzong, and once was Later Shu Mengchang surrendered to Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. After the surrender of Later Shu, the Shu people secretly wrote on the door of his house, "Shixiu surrenders to the Li family".

At this time, Li Hao was already old, he and Meng Chang, although they were monarchs and ministers, but at the same time they were sons and daughters, and their son Li Xiaolian was married to Meng Chang's daughter Princess Fengyi. Li Hao's family can be said to be highly relied on by Emperor Meng Chang.

Meng Chang sat down a little impatiently: "Give me a seat, Li Aiqing came in a hurry, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers heard that Your Majesty gave the post of Meizhou Assassin to a loose official, and after the ministers heard about it, they all felt that there was a lot of inappropriateness in this matter, and there were different opinions, and Gu Chen came to find His Majesty to find out." Li Hao replied.

"Li Aiqing, are you here for this?"

"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter, the country uses talents, although it should be a meritocracy, but Zhao Yuan, first, has no fame, and second, no one recommends him, rashly raising him to such a high position, I am afraid it is a curse or a blessing." Li Hao admonished.

"Don't worry, Li Aiqing, this Zhao Yuan, I have some understanding, more than three years ago, I saw the book he wrote, and he is a virtuous person." Looking at Li Hao's pale beard, Meng Chang said patiently.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have also read the books you mentioned, but they are just some picture books and strange and slick things, and they are not considered virtuous." Li Hao stubbornly persuaded.

"But this holy decree has already been issued, Li Aiqing won't want me to break my word, right?" Meng Chang saw that Li Hao couldn't move, and after playing tricks, he said again, "That's it, we will discuss something tomorrow morning." ”

"The minister retired." Li Hao had no choice but to retreat.

Out of the palace gate, Prime Minister Li Hao was surrounded by ministers and inquired about Zhao Yuan's appointment.

……

"Come on, send more people, you must find out the details of this Danling Zhao Erlang, it's been so long, are you all eating rice?"

I couldn't get specific news from Prime Minister Li Hao, but I only knew that the new Meizhou Assassin was personally appointed by His Majesty, and some of the more powerful ministers who didn't know what was involved in it all sent people to Danling to inquire about the news.

At this time, Zhao Yuan's personnel in the Chen (Chengdu) Metropolitan Mansion, although they did not know the specific reason for Zhao Yuan's promotion, they also roughly figured out what happened, and sent the news back to Zhao's Manor as soon as possible.

"This Dan Ling, it seems that it is really a demon!" When he went home from duty, Li Hao ordered someone to take the movements of all parts of Shu collected by the people below, and said softly.

"A large number of displaced people gathered, and as soon as they entered Tongyi, there was no movement at all, is it related to the new Meizhou assassin history? That's interesting! Li Hao frowned and stroked his snow-white beard.

A large number of people, because of Zhao Yuan's sudden promotion, immediately became interested in him. And Zhang Xucong, Ran Yanbo and Wang Pinxuan, the heads of the families to which the three of them belonged, followed the sudden rise of Zhao Yuan, and also raised their hearts, when it came to understanding Danling, the three of them, compared to others, knew more, and there were many interests involved.

The chief official of a state, I don't know how many people's interests are involved, knowing the general situation of the matter, Zhao Yuan has thought about it for a long time, understands this matter, and can no longer avoid it.

Zhang Xucong, who learned about the incident a little later, hurried to the Zhao manor......
