Volume 1 The End of the Dynasty Chapter 9 The Night Visitor (Eighth Update)

At this time, it was almost dawn, and Chenghe wanted to persuade the emperor to go again tomorrow, but the late-night visit seemed too abrupt, but when he saw Huan Ji with a happy face, he silently dispelled this idea.

The palace gate guards suddenly received an order tonight: there will be no curfew tonight. This made them a little unbelievable, this is the first time in many years since Zhao issued a curfew that there is no curfew, could it be that something big has happened? Suddenly, an unusual tension began to fill the air.

Just after the hour, two figures in black cloaks hurried out of the city, and another man in black night clothes next to the palace gate watched the two figures leave and hurried towards the east of the city.

Besides, Uncle Yang has been standing by the window since he came back in the evening, Yang Jin didn't know what was going on, he didn't ask, for a long time, Uncle Yang only said "There should be a noble person coming tonight", Yang Jin heard that since he was a nobleman, he naturally had to pack up the house and prepare to greet him, so he hurriedly went to clean up the house. But seeing that the time passed little by little, the post station was about to close, but no one came, Yang Jin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he knew why Mr. entered the imperial city, and he also knew that the distinguished guests that Mr. said must be those people inside, but ...... He looked up at Uncle Yang, who was still looking at the night with such an indifferent expression, and quietly shook his head.

At night, the Imperial City is always brightly lit and lively, and the dark lights are blind and lonely here.

The bell rang at the hour, and there was a sudden knock on the door, Yang Jin hurriedly ran over to open the door, and two figures in black cloaks flashed into the door.

Uncle Yang already knew who the person who came, and saw him clenching his fists and kneeling: "The grass people have seen the emperor." ”

Huan Ji hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Uncle Yang up, and after a while of greetings, he sat down in the north and south. Huan Ji asked for a while: "Sir, I am here to seek the law of rejuvenating the country, I beg Mr. to give it away, I thank Mr. for the great virtue of the people of the world." Huan Ji said and bowed.

Uncle Yang hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Your Majesty, I know that the emperor will come tonight, so I also know the emperor's determination." I want to ask the emperor where is the biggest ill of Zhao now, does the emperor know it? ”

"Now the ills should wither in people's livelihood, and there are all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, but I don't know what to do."

"Well, since the emperor already knows the ills of the world, why doesn't he know what to do? The emperor might as well follow the example of the Han Dynasty's 'exclusive respect for Confucianism', so that the world knows benevolence and righteousness, and it will be prosperous. ”

"Sir, the country of Zhao is tired today, unlike the Han Dynasty back then, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past, the world could follow Confucianism, but now it will only destroy the country and extinct the species, and the ancestral foundation will probably be lost in my hands."

Uncle Yang seemed to be in a contemplative state, and said slowly: "Then it is better to learn from the Mohists, love and non-attack, but it is not bad, the world is the same, there is no distinction between high and low, and the people of the world will definitely miss the emperor." ”

Huan Ji frowned and was about to say something, but Cheng He had already spoken: "Sir, the words of the evening are completely different from the words of the hundred days, why?" The gentleman knew that the emperor was bent on making the world rich, so he should not use such language to provoke him anymore. ”

Uncle Yang laughed, then bowed down and said: "The emperor has the heart to rejuvenate the country, and Uncle Yang dares to die without bowing." ”

Huan Ji hugged Uncle Yang and said with a smile: "I have already heard Uncle He say that Mr. advocates changing the law to become strong, but he didn't mention it at all tonight, he must be testing me." I have my husband to help me, and I will definitely do something. It's just that if Mr. wants to change, he will have to shake some foundations, but I'm afraid ......"

"Your Majesty, you might as well emulate Qin Zhixiao and Wei Ying, once it is successful, the Zhao State can prosper for another hundred years. In addition, the situation of today's Zhao State is still better than that of the Qin State in the past, and Qin Xiaogong was surrounded by six countries outside, and there was a disaster of Yidi inside, so he had to strive to change the law to strengthen the country in order to seek stability. Although there are spark rebellions from all sides in Zhao today, there is no urgent need, and the change can be made slowly, and there is no need to be too urgent. ”

Huan Ji was very happy after hearing this: "What Mr. said is very true. Mr. Appointed as the Secretary of State today, he will enter the court tomorrow and be rewarded again. Many major events in the DPRK and China should be annoyed by Mr. Lao. After Huan Ji finished speaking, he bowed and bowed, and Uncle Yang returned the salute.

When it was getting dark, Huan Ji and Chenghe left. Uncle Yang didn't sleep all night, he thought about how to change the law over and over again, the so-called law changers since ancient times will definitely shake some foundations, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death, Uncle Yang knows these things best.

After Huan Ji returned to the palace, he immediately began to arrange, although Uncle Yang took the lead, but Uncle Yang is still white, no one will listen to him, and no one wants to listen to him, Huan Ji must find a few helpers for Uncle Yang, these helpers cannot be descendants of the nobles of the court, they can only be young children born in poverty, and they must have a little prestige, they will not oppose the reform, and will fully support it, so that Uncle Yang can completely let go of it, but there are too few such people. After thinking about it, Huan Ji didn't sleep for almost a night.

The night was destined to be extraordinary, and the man in black at the gate of the palace went straight to the east, came to the back door of a manor, and gently pushed the door in, and walked around the courtyard to a brightly lit room.

There was a middle-aged man in a brocade dress and a jade crown sitting in the room, and this person was Huang Gongfu, the Taichangqing of the current dynasty.

Huang Gongfu knew that there must be a situation when he saw the person who came, and saw the man kneeling on one knee, and a deep voice slowly came out from under the black night clothes: "The emperor and Chenghe went out tonight, and they went to see a young man named Uncle Yang, who went to the city on the seventh day, a person from Anding County, Yunzhou, and only one old servant in the family, and the purpose of entering the city today is not known." ”

Huang Gongfu groaned, turned his fat body to bring the oil lamp on the desk, gently picked up the wick, and suddenly beckoned the man in black to come over, he leaned on the ear of the man in black and whispered: "You go and help me find out what the emperor said when he saw him." ”

The man in black retreated, and Huang Gongfu pondered silently: "Uncle Yang...... This man has never heard of it, as long as he is not disadvantageous to me, but only comes to seek an official position, it is not impossible. ”

On the second day, the ministers walked into the Zhaohua Hall as usual. Usually the emperor waited for them to come before slowly entering the palace door in the bowing ceremony of the minister, but today he had already sat firmly on the dragon chair, although his expression still looked tired, but there was a fine light in his eyes from time to time. I am afraid that only Huang Gongfu knows such a scene, but what puzzles him is that the emperor is so excited about an unknown person, which is really incredible.

After everyone saluted, the lieutenant standing next to him stood up and read out the edict: Shuntian should be ordered, and the national fortune will be prosperous. Today, there is Uncle Yang, a person from Yunzhou, who has both ability and political integrity, and he is specially appointed as Shangqing, and he will be reappointed after the view.

This edict was issued directly by the emperor himself without the hands of any officials, making all the ministers look at each other, and they couldn't help but be full of curiosity about Uncle Yang.
