Since last year's Layue, hundreds of officials were deposed, and some people resigned one after another, and this spring, there was even worse news, the original Hanlin attendant Shao Chong, Guozijian Siye Taogu, as well as the great Confucian Wang Zhen, Long Xing, etc., a total of more than a dozen people, have left the Great Zhou and entered the south of the Yangtze River, among which Shao Chong and Tao Gu have become the celebrities in front of Li Hongji, and were appointed as the bachelor and the Guozi priest, and they were also promoted!

When the news reached Kaifeng, the political hall shook, and all the ministers gathered together to discuss the matter.

"The two former officials of the imperial court absconded, but there was no news in advance, if it weren't for the detailed report placed in Jiangnan, we would still be in the dark, what are these local officials doing? Do you eat white rice? Wei Renpu scolded, his foot injury was already healed, he paced back and forth on the ground, and said angrily: "Fan Tianguan, is your ministry managing hundreds of officials like this?" ”

Fan Zhen rolled his eyelids and said angrily: "Our officials are only in charge of incumbent officials, Shao Chong and Tao Gu have been dismissed from their official positions in Layue last year, after these two people left Beijing, they did not return to their hometown at all, but disguised themselves, mixed in the middle of the caravan, crossed the Yangtze River, and went to Jinling to defect to the Southern Tang Dynasty. How much can our officials be responsible for this? ”

Wei Renpu doesn't care about this, "When repatriating hundreds of officials, you should always send embroidered messengers to escort them to ensure that the officials return to their hometowns, and then go to Beijing to resume their lives!" It's better to simply leave the embroidered messenger and take care of it in the township, so that it can be foolproof! ”

"Why don't you just lock up all the officials!" Li Gu interjected: "Now the place is in Qingzhang Tianmu, Youzhou is guarding against the Khitan, there are still so many things in the capital, embroidered messengers, embroidered messengers!" How many embroidered messengers do I have in my big week? Is it possible that we will all rely on them to govern the country in the future? ”

The quarrel in the government hall grew louder and louder, and it could be heard outside.

Ye Hua hugged his shoulders and simply stopped, let these old guys quarrel!

With their talents, such as spying on the officials, strictly controlling the borders, supervising the localities, and preventing escape...... You can think of all these means.

But it will be difficult to completely stop people from fleeing south.

After all, the Central Plains and Jiangnan are the same country, and the exchanges are dense, and the bones are connected with tendons. I can't stop it.

In fact, in Ye Hua's thoughts, he really hopes that some people will simply go to Jiangnan. Like those deposed officials, most of them are not guilty of capital crimes and cannot be beheaded. And there are many of them who are well-educated and have a high prestige.

Although they have cleared the acres of land and the gentry have paid grain in one piece, they no longer have privileges, but their prestige among the people is still there, and they are allowed to talk nonsense everywhere, spread news that is unfavorable to the imperial court, and obstruct the change of the law.

Ye Hua never thinks that the so-called scholars represent progress and the desire of the people.

Over the years, Li Hongji has picked up all the garbage that Da Zhou doesn't want, and it has become a trash can!

For example, the Great Zhou Dynasty abolished the Confucian family, Li Hongji immediately supported the Confucian family's southern sect, and also repaired the Confucian Temple in Jinling, so that officials could sacrifice at four o'clock, and the incense was endless.

Another example is the destruction of the Buddha in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Li Hongji recruited a wide range of monks, built a large number of buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, built luxurious temples, invited monks to the altar, and preached the Dharma every day, which was unprecedented.

Besides, at the moment, the Great Zhou Dynasty attacked the family and rectified the civil officials, but the Southern Tang Dynasty accepted the scholars and offered them as treasures.

In order to compete with Da Zhou, Li Hongji really tried his best, went against Da Zhou everywhere, and did not miss any opportunity. Ye Hua can think about it, you are willing to be the one who receives the garbage, what is Lao Tzu afraid of, I wish I could send some more. Whether it is the Confucian family, monks, or families, they are not good men and women, they have to eat and drink, and support them, but it is a waste of money.

It depends on how much wealth Jiangnan has, and it can afford to fill this bottomless pit!

Of course, you can't let everyone go.

For example, some officials of the Privy Council and the Third Division, they know the details of the Great Zhou and understand the power of the Great Zhou, once they go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, it will definitely help Li Hongji.

It is necessary to tell the embroidered messenger to pay attention to those who are really harmful, once these people have any changes, they would rather kill them than let them go, as for other idle officials, Hongru people everywhere, they can leave if they are willing to go.

They're all gone, and Da Zhou is clean!

Overall, except for affecting a little image, there is no harm, and it is even like taking a sauna and sweating and detoxifying.

"Ye Qing, you can do it yourself, I can't do it!"

Chai Rong asked the little eunuch to call Ye Hua and scolded him when he met.

"You know what? Those courtiers and thieves, they went to Jiangnan, how did they arrange me? Foul language, it's just unbearable! What a reader, he is simply a literary thief, not even a hooligan! ”

Chai Rong was so angry that his facial features moved, and he said angrily: "Li Hongji still has some talents, he has recruited so many people to come over, at least the momentum has been created, and the hearts of the people in the south are on him." I still have to stabilize the rear in Da Zhou, and I also have to implement the law change, so I can't go south for the time being. If he takes advantage of this gust of east wind to swallow the entire south, it will really form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, which is very unfavorable to my Great Zhou! I won't sit idly by! When necessary, I want to drive the expedition in person, so that Li Hongji knows how powerful I am! ”

Similar worries, Li Shi said.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, there are some inconsequential people in the past now, and even if they leave, it will still be good for my Great Zhou." ”

Ye Hua lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to do this, let's pick some people and pretend to defect to Li Hongji...... When they arrived in Jiangnan, they were responsible for spreading false news, misleading the Southern Tang monarchs and ministers, and making them misjudge the strength of the Great Zhou? ”

Chai Rong's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This method is good!" The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and the scholars fled south, which would undoubtedly reveal the details of the Great Zhou.

But if you take the initiative to send some people over and let them spread the news that is unfavorable to Da Zhou, it is best to say every day that Da Zhou is going to be finished, and immediately collapse, and go all out to fool Li Hongji, once he makes a mistake in judgment and makes a wrong decision, it will be too beneficial to Da Zhou!

Ye Hua, this kid, has a flexible brain, and he can think of any trick!

Chai Rong immediately issued an order to the embroidered messengers, asking them to secretly select a few literati with a good reputation, and immediately go to Jiangnan to carry out this glorious and arduous task!

After arranging the people, Chai Rong was still not satisfied, and asked again: "Ye Qing, do you still have a good way?" I want to see immediate results and make Li Hongji's heart ache! ”

Ye Hua said with a smile: "Your Majesty, some time ago, Fuyaozi went to Jiangnan. ”

"Oh!"

Chai Rong took a deep breath, "Why did the old immortal go to Jiangnan?" ”

"Make my son angry!"

Ye Hua shrugged his shoulders, to put it mildly, it's really terrible for this honest person to become bad!

Since Chen Shi's kid opened his mind, he has had seventeen wives and concubines at home, which is called a lively! At first, Chen Jian also thought that it was a good thing to spread out and pass on the lineage.

But indulging in women all day long is not a way.

What's more, the good man and the ninth wife, you got seventeen rooms, what is this!

Besides, if there are three women in one play, the Chen family can build six stages!

Chen Shu really couldn't stand it, so he grabbed Chen Shi's ears and taught him a good lesson. How do you know that Chen Shi, this kid, will not change, and within a few days, he actually bought two more widows and came back.

Chen Yan asked angrily, and Chen Shi was still reasonable.

In the Tang Dynasty, pay attention to the use of "Kunlun slaves, Goryeo maids", all dignitaries, if there are no foreign slaves and maids at home, they will be laughed at, under normal circumstances, the more slaves and maids, the richer and more face!

After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, this fashion gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a widow!

In recent years, there have been Japanese girls across the ocean, running to the Central Plains to borrow seeds, some businessmen smelled business opportunities, so they organized a fleet to go to the Japanese country to do business, by the way to buy maids.

The most attentive thing for the upside-down population is Taifu Chai Shouli.

He organized hundreds of merchant ships in Dengzhou, specially going back and forth between the Wa Kingdom and the Great Zhou, and one more time, he could get back hundreds of Wa girls!

"Dad, I did this, but I killed three birds with one stone...... First of all, I won the business of the emperor, and secondly, our family has a few more widows, and we also have face, this third ......" Chen Shi lowered his voice, "I heard what Huazi said, mixed-race babies have advantages, and they will have the advantages of parents at the same time, don't you want future generations to be more excellent?" ”

Chen Jian gritted his teeth, "It's still an advantage!" What if you absorb the shortcomings of both parties? As lustful as you, and as short as a widow, where do you put my old face? ”

Chen Shi thought about it seriously and hurriedly gave a thumbs up, "Dad, your old worries are right, in order to let the next generation of our Chen family have better talents, I, I have to buy a few more widows!" ”

He turned his head and ran away.

Chen Jian was left, his eyes widened, and he scolded angrily, little rabbit, can you have a little normal thinking! It's all Ye Hua's fault, if you have nothing to do, you will talk nonsense, and it will hurt people a lot!

Chen Shu scolded for a while, shook his head and regretted it, when he didn't admit it, he was looking forward to having a son who was filial, and if he accepted it, he got angry, what did he want!

Lao Dao felt that if he stayed in the mansion any longer, all his decades of penance would turn into flowing water.

So Chen Jian simply came out of sight and out of mind, patted his ass and went to Jiangnan.

Chen Jian has this ability, no matter where he goes, he can be sought after by a bunch of people, and the more powerful and powerful he is, the more he admires the Yi Dao cultivation of Fuyaozi, and they all treat him as a living immortal.

In the huge world, Chen Tuan is not equal to two people, one is Ye Hua, who does not believe in evil, and the other is Chen Shi, the son who is not worried!

Got rid of these two unlucky children, Chen Juna called a fish in water, he was in the south of the Yangtze River, lingering in the mountains and rivers, making friends with celebrities, and being respected by all kinds of people, not to mention how comfortable.

Especially he made friends with Han Xizai, the secretary of the military department and the scholar of the Qinzheng Palace, and became a good friend who talked about everything.

"Fuyao Zi Immortal is really powerful, he can make friends with Han Xizai so quickly, it's rare, it's really rare!" Chai Rong happily praised.

"Your Majesty, there is something more to be happy about!" Ye Hua said: "Han Xizai was in a very difficult situation in the Southern Tang Dynasty because of his background, he once pinned his hopes on Li Hongji, but Li Hongji was ruthless, killed his father and killed his brother, no matter how open-minded he was, he was definitely not a generation of heroes. Han Xizai and Li Hongji have drifted apart, and they look like they are separated. According to the news sent by Chen Xianchang, Han Xizai intends to return to his roots! ”

Han Xizai's ancestral home is Nanyang, and later moved to Changli, Hebei, where he and Han Yu are the same ancestor...... Now that Han Xizai is over half a hundred years old, Huafa was born early, and when people are old, they want to return to their roots, and the heart of returning home is getting stronger and stronger!

Chai Rong was overjoyed when he heard Ye Hua's introduction!

Han Xizai separated from Li Gu decades ago, and one went to Jiangnan. One stayed in the Central Plains...... In the past few decades, the changes in Jiangnan have all been in Han Xizai's belly, and he is now a scholar of the military department and a university scholar...... If you can get this person, you will be able to know the situation in Nantang.

What's more important is that Han Xizai is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, let him preside over the confrontation with the Jiangnan countries, he is definitely familiar with the road, and he is the best candidate!

"If I get one Han Xizai, I am better than tens of millions of Confucians!"

Chai Rong was dancing excitedly, he grabbed Ye Hua's arm, and said sharply: "No matter what, you have to get Han Xizai over!" Ye Qing, you can be sure! ”

Ye Hua grinned bitterly and spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty has said so, and you can't do it if you are not sure." Please rest assured, Your Majesty, within two months, the minister will let Han Xizai kneel in the Golden Palace and become the courtier of the Great Zhou! ”
