Chapter 403: The Monarch and the Ministers Reminisce

Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows what is going on in the world. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty sang songs night and night in the palace of the Southern Capital, and he could still know the affairs of Youzhou and even the Jin Kingdom.

Mr. Chen, who was kneeling on the ground to report, didn't even dare to come out, he didn't dare to raise his head, he hadn't seen His Majesty for ten years, and he was very uneasy in his heart.

"Get up, you're doing a very good job, but you can't stay in Nandu yet, you still have to go to Youzhou. There will be a young man named Xiao Jiujiu who will help, he is Xiao Yi's descendant disciple, and he can help you do a lot of things. I don't want to lose my trust in the world, you should know what it means. ”

"I understand." Mr. Chen knew that Guo Yaoshi must not live to the day when he was crowned the king of the county, and once he was crowned, it would be equivalent to the Han acknowledging his merits and not being guilty of his past crimes. But if it is not sealed, then Your Majesty will lose his trust in the world. Obviously, His Majesty meant to get rid of Pharmacist Guo.

Liu Zhenglong likes smart people, and he said with a smile: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun must be recovered, but it doesn't mean that you can't play without Guo Yaoshi." Through your dismissal, who do you think among the four people, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou, can be used by the Han Dynasty. ”

Obviously, it is not as simple as serving the Han here, Mr. Chen pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Linghui is okay." ”

"Tell me about it."

Although he is a Han from Liaodi and a resentful army, Zhang Linghui has never forgotten that he is a Han person, whether it is in terms of clothing or home layout. Everyone in the family wears Hanfu, the whole family speaks Chinese, and his daughter simply said that she can only speak Chinese, and her son studied in Dahan Taixue after changing his name. The domestic servants in the house are all Han Chinese, which is very strong in Jinguo. ”

Liu Zhenglong shook his head and said: "Things are not so simple, the sinicization on the surface is not at all contradictory to being loyal to Guo Yaoshi and the Jin State in the bones." You can dismiss Zhen Wuchen, this guy should be able to play for the Han. ”

Among the four people, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou, Liu Zhenglong didn't know any of them, but he knew that Zhen Wuchen was the only one who finally betrayed Guo Yaoshi, and Zhang Linghui was very difficult to betray. After all, that's what history says.

Here, Liu Zhenglong wants to teach Mr. Chen a lesson, he said: "You always remember a big principle, when it comes to the life of the family, everyone will be very careful, and never look at this person from the surface. To review all his relationships, they only have one choice, and once they are wrong, they will be doomed. Actually, you can't be wrong either. Because if you are wrong, you may be thousands of troops, you must know that to go to Hebei, at least 200,000 troops are needed, if you choose Zhang Linghui wrong, do you know how many people will die? ”

"Minister, the sin deserves death."

"What I don't like to hear the most is this sentence that deserves ten thousand deaths, can I save ten thousand soldiers if I kill you ten thousand times? What I want is for you to do your job well and make sure nothing goes wrong, which is more important than anything else. After this mission, you can transfer back to the Eastern Capital, and after wandering outside for a long time, it's time to start a family. Now there is still a long time before going to Hebei to start a war, you don't have to rush to Hebei. Let's go to the Eastern Capital first, where there's a secret mission for you to do. ”

"Obey."

"Very good, this guy Wan Qiaoyu gave his wife, sister-in-law, and daughter to the magnates of the Eastern Capital before he went to the Jin Kingdom, and he himself secretly took refuge in the Jin Kingdom. I only need evidence this time, don't alarm them, you go and secretly contact those officials. I'll deal with everything when I go to the Eastern Capital. ”

Mr. Chen immediately understood what His Majesty meant, the so-called contact with those officials, that is a kind of rebellion, the officials who have secretly taken refuge in the Jin State will use counter-plots, and those who have not taken refuge will also let them pretend to take refuge, in short, let these people secretly send false information to the Jin State. Obviously, this has a lot to do with the Gao Qing incident, and Mr. Chen knows that His Majesty does not mean to let himself go to the Eastern Capital to play, but to carry out this task, to completely push the Gao Qing incident on the head of Wan Yan Zonghan.

After Mr. Chen left, Liu Zhenglong recruited Ying Qi in, and he said concisely: "You want to find a way to go to the Jin Kingdom, so that Wanyan Zonghan will die of illness before the end of this year, and don't show your feet." By the way, this time I live in Wanyan Zongqi, mainly to collect valuable information from this guy. ”

After Ying Qi received the task, he set off, this guy never said a word, he did things cleanly, and he definitely didn't drag his feet.

Wan Qiaoyu was originally a clown who jumped off the beam, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty didn't take it seriously at all, but more and more officials in the Eastern Capital are sinking, and the most terrible thing is that the supervision department of the Eastern Capital, the judicial department and even the army are involved in it, which is the most distressing thing.

Originally, most of the officials in the eastern capital were officials of the previous dynasty, and it was not impossible for something to go wrong, but the problem of large-scale storage, especially the supervision department sent out from the imperial capital, was pulled into the water, and this was what Liu Zhenglong could not tolerate. He never thought that the officials below could be so honest and honest, so he inherited the high welfare and high salary system of the Song Dynasty, but he didn't expect that there would still be problems.

The whole Dongdu is not going to have an officialdom collapse, and Liu Zhenglong, who was heartbroken, stayed awake all night, he felt a little powerless, and he didn't want to raise the butcher's knife, but he could prevent it from happening, if this sign could not be curbed in time, the consequences would be unimaginable in the future.

Such a big thing was reported by the melon-eating audience, this is what Liu Zhenglong can't tolerate, he didn't alarm the civil and military officials in the court about this matter, but just quietly summoned Zhao Ding alone.

Liu Zhenglong briefly explained the situation, and finally he said: "I called you here today, not to deal with this matter, but mainly to let you have a psychological preparation, strengthen the study of officials in the Ministry of Officials, I will return to the imperial capital next month, and I will personally open a tree for officials, for a period of ten years, you will arrange it." In the future, officials who are not properly trained will not be allowed to take up their posts, and they will be rebuilt after taking up their posts. There are too many officials in the east to replenish in batches, so it is already imminent for young officials to take up their posts, you have to be fully prepared, the matter is urgent, you should leave today. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

"I have a number, you have to worry more about it this time, and do you want to deal with the officials of the Eastern Capital."

"No, my child needs to take another look."

Liu Zhenglong was very disappointed in the fourth prince, he originally thought that this prince was most like himself, but hey, how did he come to this point. He knew that the only thing he could do now was to unify the world first, and then rectify these messy things.

The officials can not deal with it, but the son must not deal with it, and the next night, His Majesty asked Zhao Fujin to come to bed, and in a blink of an eye, the two have not been together for at least five years.

Zhao Fujin, the most beautiful emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the past, is no longer young now, and has long passed the age of bedding. It's not that Liu Zhenglong likes the new and hates the old, and thinks differently, but that many of the systems of the Han Dynasty were copied from the previous dynasty, and the ladies of the harem couldn't sleep after they were over twenty-eight years old, and he still changed twenty-eight to thirty years old, but Zhao Fujin, who was already thirty-five or sixteen years old, was still not qualified to sleep.

After getting His Majesty's will today, Zhao Fujin was very excited, and he spent the whole day thinking about how to please the emperor, not only to win His Majesty's favor, but more importantly, for his son, so that his son can become the crown prince and ascend the throne in the future.

Zhao Fujin didn't expect that His Majesty just handed over a stack of materials, and after reading these materials, the most beautiful emperor was dumbfounded, kneeling on the ground in pain, desperately pleading for her son.

"Get up, he is your flesh and blood, and he is also my flesh and blood, they all say that he is the most like me, and he is the most suitable to inherit the unification, I didn't give him a chance, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to the Eastern Capital. However, this is how I can rest assured that I will hand over the Jiangshan Sheji to him. Liu Zhenglong helped Zhao Fujin up, gently hugged him in his arms, and said: "In the palace, there are too many women, I don't have enough time to care about you, you have been wronged all these years, and you put your mind on your son, which I can understand." You are the princess of the previous dynasty, and you are eager for your son to inherit the throne, and you can be regarded as having an explanation for the previous dynasty, and I can understand it, but how can hundreds of millions of people trust people to be non-human? I don't plan to punish him, you go back to the Eastern Capital tomorrow, talk to him personally, and when the explanation is clear, I will go back to the imperial capital to be the prince of peace for a lifetime, if the explanation is not clear, stay in the Eastern Capital and don't come out. ”

Zhao Fujin is so smart and icing, she knows that this is her son's chance to form a queen, if she can't win His Majesty's forgiveness, I'm afraid she will be imprisoned in the Eastern Capital Palace for the rest of her life. In any case, I have no chance with the throne in this life, and being able to be the prince of peace can be regarded as burning high incense.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Zhao Fujin knelt on the ground, this kneeling was for his son, and it was also the most devout service to his husband. She has always maintained royal dignity, and she is unwilling to do so, and today is the first time she has died.

After breakfast, Zhao Fujin set off, this time there were two thousand forbidden troops with him, and the task of these two thousand forbidden troops was to supervise Liu Yi, the fourth son of the emperor, as for whether to be placed under house arrest in the eastern capital, or directly escorted to the imperial capital, it depends on the dialogue between the mother and son.

As a father, Liu Zhenglong didn't think that there was anything wrong with his son, Liu Yi, the fourth son of the emperor, but as the emperor of the Han Empire and the founder of a generation, he would never allow his prince to sink like this.

After Zhao Fujin set off, Liu Zhenglong asked the eunuch to bring Yan Shun into the palace in a hurry.

Yan Shun spent most of his time on missions outside, and only returned to the Son of Heaven after the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed. This intelligence chief, who has been in charge of the Han intelligence system for many years, has been enjoying Qingfu in the past two years, and has not held any specific positions, but has only accompanied the king.

"Old man, in the past two years, you have also been blessed, and the general's belly has come out."

An old man made Yan Shun burst into tears with excitement, and he knelt on the ground with excitement, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Okay, I know that you have been wronged, don't talk about those unhappy today, let's not get drunk and don't go home, have a good chat, when I just entered the officialdom, you swore to die. When Han's entire intelligence system was set up by you, but the world is becoming more and more stable, and you are idle. I know that you are uncomfortable, but you must also understand my difficulties. ”

"Your Majesty, with your words, Yan Shun will die a hundred times, and he will not feel wronged."

Yan Shun knew that he was in charge of the intelligence department, not only to collect foreign intelligence, but also to supervise civil and military officials, and he had already offended those officials, and was impeached by these officials all day long, and the slightest small problem would be infinitely magnified, so it can be said that His Majesty has been under a lot of pressure, and being idle is also a means of protection.

"By the way, my favorite seventh princess in the new year, let's marry your family." Liu Zhenglong motioned for Yan Shun to sit down, and he said with a smile: "We should now seek happiness for our children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family." Saburo is a reader, and I like that very much. That's what my colt is looking for. Da Lang will be in charge of the affairs of the Jin Kingdom in the future, hone it, and after the Jin State is destroyed, let him take charge of the Dahan intelligence department. ”

Yan Shun was moved and didn't know what to say, but he also knew that His Majesty's arrangement meant that he would never be able to enter the intelligence department again, to be precise, he would have to completely break away from the intelligence department and no longer interfere in anything.

Two old guys who have worked together for 20 years drank in the dark.

In the process of drinking, Liu Zhenglong still gave Yan Shun the last task, that is, to conduct an all-round review of all civil officials above the third rank in the imperial capital, the eastern capital, and the southern capital, as well as the civil officials in some special departments who have real power, and this review is carried out secretly and cannot be leaked. Once it is leaked, it can only be Yan Shun's back to the black cauldron, and it will face the verbal criticism of the officials under heaven, even if His Majesty wants to protect it, it will be difficult to get out of the whole body, this task can be said to be to roast Yan Shun on the fire.

Liu Zhenglong personally poured wine for Yan Shun and said: "This task is too difficult for you, but for the sake of the Han River, I can only wronged you, and I can only trust you." This arduous task can only be done by you, and I can rest assured. If it is done well, the great Han will have a good start, and if it is done badly, it will be a big earthquake in the officialdom, and if it is not good, it will shake the foundation of the great Han. Only you can shoulder this thousand pounds of burden, wronged you, come to my brother to toast you. ”。

"Your Majesty, the minister must do his best and die." Yan Shun had tears in his eyes, and silently called out to his brother in his heart. He knew that His Majesty was also very difficult in his heart, and this task was very important to Dahan, and it could be said that it was related to the future national fortune of Dahan, and it was handed over to him, which showed His Majesty's trust in him.

The two old brothers drank and talked happily, and got drunk, telling the glorious deeds of the two of them working together for 20 years, and they seemed to be two happy children.
