During the siege of Jincheng, Zhao Ruosu decided to assist the emperor, which was a difficult decision, he served in Zhongshu Province for more than ten years, and was deeply valued by Nanzhi, and his top boss changed one after another, and his colleagues also came and went, only the two of them were like rocks in the water, standing and not falling.

He has already been seen as a successor, and although Nan Zhijin has not said it explicitly, the meaning is very obvious.

When he resigned, Zhao Ruosu said to his old teacher: "Is there any egg under the nest? Great Chu is falling, you and I have no place to stand, please allow me to leave Zhongshu Province to serve Your Majesty, I promise, not a word about the matter here. ”

Nan Zhijin had never been angry in his life, and at this time he was furious, his face was red and his neck was thick, "Don't mention a word? You've learned all the skills from me, and you can cover up the past with a 'don't say a word'? Even if you don't mention it, aren't you using this set to deal with Zhongshu Province and me? ”

"Lord Nan, it's time to put aside your prejudices, Your Majesty is different from other emperors, and you deserve assistance."

Nan Zhijin shook his head more than once, "Young and ignorant, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, which emperor didn't work hard when he ascended the throne?" Isn't Emperor Huan tireless and diligent? What is the result, Emperor Huan only lasted for two years, and now the saint is more energetic, maybe he can hold on for a while longer, and then what? Once the Huns are defeated and the biggest hidden danger is lifted, will he still be able to maintain his current momentum? Either he became mediocre like most emperors, or he followed in the footsteps of Emperor Wu and regarded brutality as energy. ”

Nan Zhijin has always been cautious, and he has never made reckless discussions about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but this time he was really angry and poured out all the thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Ruosu will not change his mind because of this, "As long as the internal and external troubles of Da Chu can be eliminated, even if Your Majesty changes afterwards, it is still worth it." ”

Nan Zhijin suppressed the anger in his heart, Zhao Ruosu, who was in his thirties, was still an immature teenager in his eyes, and he needed to be taught earnestly, "Under the nest, there are always one or two finished eggs, you and I will work together to protect our families, why ......"

Zhao Ruosu bowed to the old teacher, "I have made up my mind." ”

After nearly half a month, he returned to the Tired Marquis Mansion, and the emperor didn't ask about the experience during this time, and he didn't say anything, and he was really relieved, because he really couldn't say that it would affect too many people and go against his original intention of assisting the emperor.

Han Ruzi was curious, but he didn't want to know too much, the imperial court was an old vehicle, barely able to carry the weight forward, that was enough, now was not the time to tear it down and rebuild it.

Zhao Ruosu said that he could see the problem from the East China Sea National Concerto, and Han Ruzi said: "I know that Zhongshu Province has some skills when placing the concerto, and there are also doorways in the local area? ”

"There's a big way." This is Zhao Ruosu's best ability, and he can answer casually, "Yan Kang has been in the East China Sea for a long time, and there should be old officials around him to help, and the chapter written must be leaky, such as this time for the Queen Mother to find relatives, its chapter can be a model, witnesses, testimony, and evidence are listed one by one, which not only seems rigorous, but also shows that the work is hard, but there is no trace of boasting." What is particularly ingenious is that Mrs. Pingenhou is mentioned in the recital, if it is meritorious, Mrs. Pingenhou is only the initiator, if it is not meritorious, then Mrs. Pingenhou deceives her superiors and subordinates, and the East China Sea Kingdom also suffers from it. ”

Han Ruzi laughed, he couldn't see so many doorways, at that time, he only felt that the recital of Donghai Kingdom was a little long, but there was no flaw, so that he had to go to his mother immediately to report the good news.

"What tricks will Yan Pengshi's recitals have?" Han Ruzi asked.

"Your Majesty's selection of the generals of the naval army is not a matter of one or two days, and the East China Sea country has time to operate. If Yan Shipeng's military exploits are fake, a large number of documents are needed to corroborate, I am afraid that it is a little difficult, according to Weichen's opinion, this is a pretence to take the merits of others, in order to cover up, or in order to shirk responsibility afterwards, Donghai Kingdom must have mentioned the name of the real meritorious person in the chapter, just like the treatment of Mrs. Ping Enhou, put it in an inconspicuous place, and also mentioned the credit, but it will not seize the limelight of Yan Shinan, nor will it be noticed by the imperial court. ”

Han Ruzi nodded, thinking that it was very possible, but he had seen too many concerts, and he couldn't remember what was special about the concertos from the East China Sea, "Tomorrow I will pass on the decree and let the Zhongshu Province bring the concertos again-they won't do anything, right?" ”

Zhao Ruosu shook his head, "The principle of Zhongshu Province is that it will never violate the holy will, as long as Your Majesty's will is very clear, no one will take any risk to do anything, on the contrary, once it is found that Your Majesty is resolute, Zhongshu Province will fully cooperate." ”

"Hey."

The full cooperation of other ministers is for the purpose of meritorious service and meritorious service, but the Zhongshu Province is for the purpose of hiding - not being concerned by the emperor, but leaving the emperor inseparable, this is the highest state they pursue.

Han Ruzi ordered to pass the meal, to eat with Zhao Ruosu, and then talk at night.

Zhao Ruosu didn't dare to accept such an honor, and would rather go out to eat.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Ruosu returned to the study, the emperor had cleaned up here, a chair was placed in front of the desk, and after Zhao Ruosu thanked him, he sat down.

Han Ruzi said: "Yan Pengshi is a person who is very good at speaking, and listening to his words, he has quite some ideas. He said: The idea of exterminating pirates is not the same as eradicating land bandits, and the land bandits have camps and villages, and once the camps are lost, the grain and grass reserves fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers, and the bandits all become outlaws, and as long as the siege is done properly, they can be wiped out; Pirates also have camps and villages, but only for the purpose of staying, the most important thing is the boat, the larger boat can float on the sea for several months or even a year without docking, it is really not possible, you can also go to the distant sea island to stay, the so-called 'people go to the temple with the temple', so it is extremely difficult to exterminate. ”

Zhao Ruosu thought for a while, "Weichen doesn't know much about military affairs, but it sounds very reasonable." ”

He also said that pirates have a weakness. The sea is vast, and there is not much to loot except for fishing boats and the occasional merchant ship, so pirates often have to go ashore, and land is the foundation of the pirate's family. Zhao Ruosu, if it were you, how would you deal with pirates? ”

"Wechen doesn't know ...... very well"

"It doesn't matter, think from the perspective of ordinary people or Zhongshu people."

"Hmm...... Set up more military towns along the coast to prevent pirates from landing? ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "All along, Da Chu has indeed done this, but there is a problem: the distribution of military towns is too sparse to play a role in stopping it, there are many pirate ships, some large and some small, they can go ashore from everywhere, if you want to completely block it, you have to have military towns all over the coast, but it requires too many manpower and material resources, even when Emperor Wu was at his peak, he couldn't do it." ”

"Yan Pengshi has thought of a way?"

Han Ruzi nodded, "He said that there are a lot of rumors about pirates, all say that they are a group of fierce gods and evil gods who are not afraid of death, but according to what he has seen and heard, pirates are nothing special, they are also greedy for life and afraid of death, they land and plunder, in order to live and enjoy, not to be buried after death, so they always try to avoid officials and soldiers, and rob undefended villages and small towns." Yan Pengshi suggested that more than three naval armies should be established, each with 30 to 50 large ships and a number of small and medium-sized boats, to be stationed on islands dozens of miles offshore. ”

"I'm afraid that such a navy can't stop pirates from landing on the shore, right?"

"If you can't stop it, you don't have to stop it, let them go ashore, and the towns and villages on land try to resist as much as possible, and if they can't resist, they have to accept their fate. When all localities got the news, they should notify the naval forces at sea as soon as possible and deploy them nearby to block the pirates' circuits. But whenever a pirate lands, there will be a big ship coming and going, and if the big ship is destroyed, the pirate will become a land bandit, and there will not even be a camp, so he will be exterminated as he wants. After a few times, the pirates found that it was unprofitable and the risk was too great, so they naturally fled and did not dare to go near the coast again. ”

"Weichen didn't dare to assert it, but what Yan Pengshi said was true."

Han Ruzi sighed, "Would such a person take the risk of leading the army?" ”

Zhao Ruosu said: "Please recall, did Yan Pengshi follow His Majesty's questions and answer them, or did he talk about them at every opportunity, ignoring the questions of others?" ”

Han Ruzi thought seriously for a while, and then sighed, "I uphold neutrality and rarely speak, Yan Pengshi talks a lot, and others can't interject." So, someone else wrote down the pirate policy, and he just wrote it down? ”

"I can only guess that even if Wei Chen sees a flaw in the recital of the East China Sea Kingdom, it is not clear evidence."

"It's okay, you can just guess." Han Ruzi has another way, the eunuch Jing Yao is in the East China Sea Kingdom, if he is really as good at collecting intelligence as Yang Feng and Liu Jie said, he should find out who is the person who made meritorious contributions behind Yan Pengshi.

The topic of Yan Pengshi is over for the time being, and Han Ruzi left Zhao Ruosu not just to evaluate a general, "Zhongshu Province often thinks about my intentions, and it seems to be quite successful, let's talk about my shortcomings." ”

Zhao Ruosu bowed and said, "Weichen ......"

"Zhao Ruosu, you have resigned from the post of Zhongshu Sheren, and you have not yet been appointed as the governor, so you are not a 'micro-minister' now, but a 'grass people'." Han Ruzi heard that Zhao Ruosu seemed to have something difficult to say, so he first released a layer of restraint from him.

Zhao Ruosu was slightly stunned, and then said: "The grass people think that Your Majesty has grasped the court too tightly. ”

Han Ruzi was surprised, "I left the Qinzheng Palace to the prime minister, and rarely rejected the minister's suggestions, but you think I grasped it too tightly?" ”

"Your Majesty has set up a false palace of diligence and a separate mansion of the Marquis, in fact, he has forced the prime minister and the court into a corner."

Han Ruzi valued Zhao Ruosu, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and said with a smile: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"The imperial power is not at the top, and Your Majesty personally handles the matter of suppressing bandits, if you succeed, Your Majesty will have no merit, and if you lose, your Majesty's prestige will be damaged. His Majesty should be above the ministers, and the ministers should lead one side, and His Majesty should lead the overall situation, and the prime minister should be supplemented. ”

Han Ruzi didn't squeak, he was a little disappointed, Zhao Ruosu's suggestion was too rigid, no different from a scholar and a minister, on the surface, he raised the emperor, but in fact, it was a kind of overhead, high power, which was equivalent to no specific power.

Zhao Ruosu's ability to establish his life is to observe words and looks, once he becomes a "grass people", he doesn't understand his face at all, and said: "There is still a big hidden danger around Your Majesty, if you don't sort it out early, it will become a big disaster." ”

"Oh?" Han Ruzi was a little interested again.

Zhao Ruosu took a step forward and arched his hand: "The grass people think that there are too many ministers around Your Majesty, such as the King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng, and they do not have important official positions, but they often live around Your Majesty, and there are too many favored ministers, and most of them are eunuchs, and their hearts are dark, and they are running for Your Majesty today, and they will ask for rewards every day, and Your Majesty is only afraid of ......"

"That's enough." Han Ruzi said angrily, he has always felt that there are too few credible people around him, and Zhao Ruosu actually said too much! (To be continued.) )
