Outside the Shou'an Hall of the North Palace, the corridor on the steps.

Jin Wuxi fell, and Hu Ji, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, paced back and forth, anxious.

The prime minister and the doctor Hu Zhao were talking secretly with the emperor in the Shou'an Palace, and no one knew what they were talking about...... The Imperial History records that the "Living Note" is like this, and the really secret things are not found in the text.

But after all, it is a historian who gets along day and night, and can always deduce the causal relationship based on the information, and the imperial historian who has a sense of responsibility and pursues a sense of existence will find a way to leave clues in the text for future generations to study and understand.

Hu Zhao's close disciple Ma Bing came from outside, came to Hu Ji's side and whispered: "Brother Weidu, Zhijin Wu led people into Dongguan, and Chen Su, a doctor of Dongguan, swallowed Jin and died violently. ”

Ma Bing lowered his voice: "It is said that it was forced by Jinwu." ”

Hu Ji frowned, pulled Ma Bing to the side and handed over his head side of the shoulder: "Who said?" ”

"What Beigong Shou Ling said, according to him, Brother Ling also knew about it, and he couldn't hide it from the prime minister, so I came to sue."

Ma Bing endured his surprise and sighed: "Today, Duke Chen is prosperous, but the imperial court has punished the Pi Chen family...... I am afraid that people will misinterpret and mislead Chen Gong. ”

In addition to the Tian family, Chen officials, scholars, soldiers and civilians participate in voluntary labor, as well as the Lu family, the Yu family, the Fa family, the second family, the fifth family, the Yuan family, the Hu family, the Lu family and other tribes. Last year, there were two families, the Xiahou family and the Pang family, which are all included in the annual summer festival roster, and will be engraved to commemorate the occasion.

Ma Bing's emotion, Hu Ji just smiled and didn't care: "Don't you see how Chen Gongchu ruled when he was in charge of Maicheng?" The Tian clan still separates the family to pay taxes, and the Chen family is even more discussed. ”

Hu Ji looked very open, as the prime minister's bookkeeper, he naturally stood as the prime minister and did not participate in Chen Guo's summer festival...... But his younger brother Hu Bo went to participate, and other Hu officials in the court and China either asked for leave to work nearby, or their children went to work for them.

The family has to express its position more or less, Chen has a summer festival, Wei has a Zhou ceremony that collects copies of books and chronicles as a custom, and Song has a big shooting ceremony, all of which are annual fraternities of officials and clans with the same surname and different clans, but they are biased differently.

The Zhang family, which relies on force the most, likes to engage in the sacrifice of literature and rituals, the Guan family is a competitive riding and archery, and the Tian family is to gather people together to open canals and repair dams to remember Dayu and control the water.

Not to mention a group of Chen clans, even the Tian clan will not escape punishment for doing evil.

At this point, Tian Xin is similar to the first emperor, and Lan Fang's obstruction must be eradicated.

On the contrary, it is the prime minister, who is more lenient and will try his best to avoid killing.

Hu Ji thought in his heart, and waited quietly with Ma Bing for the results of the meeting inside.

Probably after this meeting, he will be the first batch of officials and leaders sent to Guanzhong for exchange and study, and take a group of grassroots backbone officials of the ninth and eighth grades to Guanzhong to receive crash course training in engineering and agriculture, and then accept the assignment and experience of Beifu.

The court was always clean, and there were not many people with hazy identities and vague and vacillating positions.

Therefore, by pulling out and sweeping away the peripheral tentacles, and then touching the melons along the vine, you can get things done.

To put it bluntly, ordinary jailers can solve the vast majority of Haoqiang; Just one Xuzhou is rotten roots, and Wei Yan's military forces are needed to plow the court and sweep the holes, and strive to sweep it up efficiently.

It is not only necessary to sweep away the power of the family in Xuzhou, but also to liberate the enthusiasm of Xuzhou's production.

As one of the richest areas in the late Han Dynasty, Xuzhou was characterized by the wealth of the people, the small and rich state, and the battles around Xuzhou and the repeated tug-of-war can be described as a small warring state.

As a result, this kind of feng shui treasure land was massacrated by Cao Cao, which led to serious antagonism between the Xuchang court and the people of Xuzhou, and it was nominally entrusted to Zang Ba, and Zang Ba was given nominal Qingxu autonomy.

In fact, Qingzhou is mainly controlled by Yuan Tan, which produces the salt that Hebei urgently needs. The Yuan family held the salt and deepened their control over Hebei, which was a complementary relationship.

And Xuzhou, in the hands of the Xuzhou family, is standing still, but it is constantly regressing, so that the true appearance of the family to rule the world reveals a hint of signs.

Therefore, the first emperor hung Xuzhou and did not deal with it, and the general also hung still, in order to deal with other things, and then completely clean up the Xuzhou problem.

At the same time, it is also a chance for the Xuzhou family to reform themselves, but they don't cherish it, after so many years, Xuzhou is still the same.

Until Lang Guan's armed fight, all of them were sent to Xuzhou to serve as county magistrates and county lieutenants, and then cooperated with Wei Yan and Zhang Fei's armies to achieve substantial control over Xuzhou.

Yuzhou, next door to Xuzhou, has always been involved in the war since the Yellow Turban, and after the Northern Expedition of the Han Army, the counties and counties were deserted, and the people fled to the mountains.

As a result, since Pang Lin took office in Yuzhou, he adhered to the principle of inaction without levying taxes or taxes, but he suppressed Haoqiang, which made Yuzhou a great rule and quickly resumed production, and the people were far richer than Xuzhou, and were regarded by the imperial court as a substitute for Yizhou and became the second money and grain replenishment point for the army.

So he made such a big plan, but Pang Lin ran away, and the vast majority of officials in Yuzhou also ran away, completely ruining the imperial court's plan.

So Hu Ji is not in a hurry, everything is under control at the moment.

The only one out of control is Liu Yan, no one would have thought that the emperor would do such a thing, and no one would have thought that Liu Yan would be so decisive and not leave a way out, that is, he slapped his wife Hu in the face, and even slapped the emperor and the face of hundreds of officials and nobles in Jiangdu.

Fortunately, Liu Yan was covered by Liao Li, and no one dared to force Liu Yan to kill.

Forcing Jiuqing to kill is by no means a decent thing.

Now the situation is like this, because they are embarrassed to force Liu Yan to kill Liu Yan, they opened this example of forcing the former emperor's former ministers, so their lives will not be protected in the future.

But the loss of face is too big, and this kind of problem is public anger, and it is easy to get out of control.

Fortunately, Liao Li kept the contract and did not abandon Liu Yan, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether Liu Yan would be alive or dead.

Thinking of Liu Yan's stubble, Hu Ji glanced at Ma Bing without a trace...... Somewhat poor for this guy.

In order to ease the situation, Guan Xing handed over the power of his marriage to the prime minister, and let the prime minister make a fuss about it, so as to heal the rift between the old ministers.

Ma Bing's sister, who had already been selected, was angry with Ma Liang's wife and Ma Yan, reached a relevant peace agreement, finalized all the regulations, and waited to inform the government and the opposition.

But when the prime minister came back from Maicheng's investigation, the emperor gave such a big gift...... Now, who dares to mention this marriage?

Ma Bing's sister was raised in the palace of the Queen Mother, even if she was innocent, but after the Hu family's incident, there would inevitably be rumors.

If Ma marries Guan Xing again at this juncture, not to mention the slander of the government and the opposition, it is difficult to explain it to the general.

The marriage has not yet been publicized to the outside world, and the party concerned must have known about it...... If it is hastily stopped, with Ma's style, I am afraid that this innocent girl will be forced to death.

After waiting for half a month, the imperial court will set off to move to the capital, and it will inevitably pass through Ye County, where the general is stationed.

Whether it is the Hu family's matter or the marriage of Ma Liang's daughter, the general will never easily forgive the emperor.

If Ma Liang's daughter can't withstand the pressure and seeks death, it will definitely blow up the general, and Ma Yan, who has stabilized, will definitely have other changes.

As the prime minister's main book, picking up the missing and filling in the gaps is Hu Ji's scope of work, and being careful and cautious is his first priority.

After hesitating, Hu Ji still decided to open his mouth to remind Ma Bing, so as not to accidentally make an irreparable mistake.

As for the damage to the reputation of the Ma family brought about by the rumors in the future...... Where can it compare to the political stability of the government and the opposition?

Besides, where is Ma kept in the palace...... It's not known to the outside world.

When the limelight passes, you can still discuss it calmly.

With the general's character, he will definitely compensate Ma Liang, and when the time comes, he will definitely be able to intervene in the marriage.

Therefore, at present, we must convey a message to Ma through Ma Bing's mouth, so as not to think of finding a short-sightedness.
