Wancheng has always been the center of the changes in the martial country, and every bit of wind and grass here can attract the attention of the world, especially in the past few days, Wancheng has been spattered by the blood of the former general of the martial country, Ju Mao, and a large number of old clans have been imprisoned, which makes people particularly concerned about the change of the situation.

Every day, countless pairs of eyes stare at the gates of the palace and the official offices outside the palace, looking for some clues that will be useful to them.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, Emperor Wu just wanted to rest after dealing with most of the political affairs, and Gao Jin reminded: "Your Majesty, the guest secretary Han Kui has been staying in the official office outside the palace for several hours......

Hearing this, Emperor Wu's face was pale, and he didn't seem to be able to mention the slightest interest, but since he agreed, Emperor Wu naturally wouldn't break his promise, so he took advantage of his free time to meet with that Han Kui.

However, this reception does not matter, until three o'clock in the unitary hour, the Xuanzheng Hall was lit, Emperor Wu still did not let Han Kui go down to the Xuanzheng Palace, Gao Jin changed one honey candle after another, until he reminded Emperor Wu, "Your Majesty, it's time." ”

Emperor Wu looked up at the sky, and then said unsatisfied: "Today, Han Zi's words are sharp, but it makes me forget the hour, today Han Zi will go back to rest, and tomorrow I will listen to the "Seven Strategies for Dingguo". ”

Han Kui retired at this time, Gao Jin brought a cup of tea to Emperor Wu, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has not been in the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time......

Hearing this, Emperor Wu raised his eyes slightly and said, "Yes...... It's been a long time. ”

Emperor Wu looked at the burning honey candle, and also said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I still remember that when I was dealing with political affairs in the Xuanzheng Palace, I took this honey candle and ate it with Fan Qing, and I also asked you, can this honey candle be eaten, but Fan Qing grabbed the honey candle in my hand with one hand and ate it first, and I also scolded him!" ”

"Your Majesty remembers!" Gao Jin smiled, it has always been the deepest taboo in His Majesty's heart, normally, Gao Jin would never take the initiative to mention this person, but today he found that His Majesty's heart knot is not as depressed as it was back then, and it seems that he is very satisfied with this Han Kui today.

Emperor Wu took a sip of tea and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick up Han Zi into the Xuanzheng Palace, and inform the Minister of State that tomorrow's ...... The books of these days do not need to be sent to the Xuanzheng Palace. ”

"Okay." Gao Jin responded, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to invite the sixth son of the emperor to go to the palace with Han Zi tomorrow?" ”

"That bad son...... Emperor Wu's eyes were deep, he thought for a while, and then said: "That bad son is also tired these days, so let him rest these days." ”

"Whoa!" Gao Jin leaned down and responded, he didn't hear much blame for Emperor Wu's scolding "bad son", thinking that His Majesty should be pursuing Han Kui's "Ten Evils of the Martial Kingdom" concluding words, "Gongzi Yan said, please look at today's martial country, whose family is actually the world." "That's a big contradiction.

However, I didn't hear that His Majesty had the intention of delving into it, and this matter could be regarded as being revealed.

As soon as he thought of His Majesty's angry eyes when he first read this sentence, Gao Jin couldn't help but sweat profusely, this sentence really touched the backlash in His Majesty's heart.

Fortunately, it was also Han Kui's quick thinking that resolved the depression in His Majesty's heart, and described to His Majesty a blueprint after the successful restructuring of the military state, and His Majesty gradually stopped his anger.

Gao Jin obliquely looked at the smile on Emperor Wu's face, he hadn't seen him for many years, and said in his heart that this Han Kui was really a virtuous person, even if it was not as virtuous as the former prime minister, it was not much worse.

Maybe it's a little bit better......

Gao Jin thought the same.

On the seventh day of the ninth month, the special Luan car of Emperor Wu in the palace drove out of the palace gate early in the morning, came to the Fufu Courtyard where Han Kui stayed, and picked up Han Kui.

Gao Jin came to the official office outside the palace gate, and also sent a message to the officials on duty that Emperor Wu would have no time to take care of political affairs today, and should be handed over to the Minister of State Baili Huai for full disposal, and there was no need to report to the Xuanzheng Palace.

Then, for another whole day, in the brightly lit Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Wu was already sitting on the ground with Han Kui, and his words were very cordial, but because the night was dark, Emperor Wu personally sent Han Kui to His Royal Highness Xuanzheng.

Today's talk is mainly about "Seven Policies for Dingguo", and Emperor Wu listened to it with relish and interest.

At this time, although it was night in Wancheng, it was shaken by the movement in the palace in the past two days.

Emperor Wu actually met with Han Kui, the guard?!

In the face of this news, everyone was happy and worried, but the look of shock was not surprising.

Gongzixin also got the news, and asked Wang Meng, the housekeeper in the house, to prepare a valuable gift for Han Kui, and at the same time, the same action was already in the house of the powerful.

Emperor Wu met with Han Kui alone for two days, and there was no shortage of well-informed people who received the news that Emperor Wu personally sent Han Kui to the palace, and suddenly realized that there might be a real minister in Wu Country again!

And the last one, many magnates are still fresh in their memories, the blood stains of the magnates in the western suburbs of Wancheng have not dried up, and the restructuring of the martial arts country is also like a thorn reminding everyone of the name.

Woo Woo!

Another day, another whole day's work, Han Kui stayed in the Xuanzheng Hall to tell Emperor Wu about his "legal system" proposition, many of which were similar to the "rule system" proposition of the former state.

When Han Kui took out the "Law of the Martial Kingdom" that took half a year to compile, Emperor Wu put down his status as a monarch and promised Han Kui: "Han Zi treats me as a national scholar, and I will definitely treat Qing in the name of a national scholar!" ”

That night, Emperor Wu drafted a book, built a forest garden, and took Han Kui as the book order.

After Emperor Wu felt that something was a little wrong, he instructed Gao Jin: "Tomorrow, the small court will discuss it, and the ministers who will enter the court will be tentatively designated as Han Kui, the guest secretary, and the minister of state Baili Huai, and the inferior ...... The sixth son of the emperor is also called together. ”

Listening to the "inferior son" that Emperor Wu almost blurted out, Gao Jin also smiled, and then responded.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, Emperor Wu added a small court meeting, which was extremely low-key, and there were only three ministers who entered the court.

Lin Yuyan received a notice from the previous court, and when he thought of the rumors in Wancheng in the past two days, he also meant that the matter of going to Lin Yuan had already begun.

Baili Huai was invited into the Xuanzheng Hall by Emperor Wu for half an hour, in order to make Emperor Wu and the minister of the humerus angry, and also to ask him if he thought it was feasible to go to Lin Yuan.

As a result, the prime minister of Baili was also expected, and then replied to Emperor Wu: "The territory of Wuguo is the land of His Majesty, and the minister thinks that Shanglin Yuan can be done." ”

"Good!" After Emperor Wu got Baili Huai's answer, he also asked Gao Jin to quickly summon the emperor's sixth son, Lin Yuyan, and the guest secretary Han Kui into the palace.

"Shanglin Yuan was proposed by Huzi, Huang Yan, you might as well tell the Minister of Baili and Han Qing what you mean now."

asked Lin Yuyan and Han Kui to go to the palace together, and Emperor Wu also waived all etiquette and directly asked Lin Yuyan to tell the plan of going to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuyan has been in the mansion for the past two days to sort out the manuscript of the matter of Shanglin Yuan, and when he heard his father's words, he also said: "Shanglin Yuan, based on Thorn Yang, is called to build a royal farm, but in fact, it is responsible for his father, to establish a place that is not subject to the control of any magnates in the imperial court, and its taxes, people, and household registration are all made by the new system, and directly controlled by Shang Shuling, and Shang Shuling is presented to his father. ”

Baili Huai didn't expect that the sixth son of the emperor would be so big, but since he was dressed in the coat of "royal pastoral", no matter what the essence of Shanglin Yuan did, he would not suffer strong opposition from the old clan.

In this matter, Han Kui also stood up and added: "This Shanglin Yuan should have a self-defense army, which should not be controlled by Shang Shuling, but by His Majesty's Tiger Fu!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan was slightly stunned, he really didn't take this into account, he was just thinking about expanding the power of Shanglin Yuan's independent management, and he really didn't take into account that the establishment and administration of the army were not a matter of words.

If Emperor Wu really agreed, and the army was formed at will in Shanglin Yuan, then Shanglin Yuan would be a veritable "country China".

"This ......" Baili Huai was slightly worried.

Emperor Wu naturally asked, using Baili Huai as an excuse: "If the prime minister has concerns, just say it, don't hide it." ”

Baili Huai then asked: "Your Highness, Han Zi, I'm afraid that this Shanglin Yuan has too much power, I'm afraid it will ...... Recruit people to be feared. ”

In fact, what Baili Huai wants to say is to support the army and respect itself.

This point was not explained by Baili Huai, and everyone present also understood it.

Han Kui stepped forward to explain: "The Minister of State has misunderstood, this Shanglin Yuan is a royal farm controlled by His Majesty, and the main general of the Shanglin Yuan army, Kui already has someone to recommend His Majesty." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan chuckled in her heart.

But Emperor Wu, who came to power, smiled and said, "Oh? Who does Han Qing recommend?! ”

Sure enough, as soon as Emperor Wu's words fell, Han Kui's eyes fell on Lin Yuyan, and the former also said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends His Royal Highness the Sixth Son of the Emperor......"

Lin Yuyan smiled bitterly Han Kui was really not afraid of being jealous of Emperor Wu, he originally proposed it by himself when he went to Lin Yuan, but now Han Kui dragged him into the water, which may not be good news for Emperor Wu.

What's more, Lin Yuyan asked Han Kui to issue the official book order, because he didn't want to take care of the specific things of Lin Yuan.

"Yu Yan Na ......" Emperor Wu heard Han Kui recommend his six sons, and also said: "Yu Yan has just recovered Thorn Yang, and the rewards of Shangqing and the five hundred households are indeed a little less, you can quell the bandits, you may not be able to lead the army, Yu Yan, what do you mean?" ”

Lin Yuyan originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but as a bystander, he helped Han Kui take some shortcuts, but he didn't expect that it would be the current scene.

Han Kui recommended, and his father asked, this is indeed not something that can be refused casually, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Erchen is willing to take orders." ”

Baili Huai nodded, for Wancheng, where the throne of Wuguo is now undecided, and a prince who is out of the cabinet is far away from the center of the political struggle, it is to show that he will not participate in the party struggle.

At least, everyone sees it this way, and it seems that Shanglin Yuan has the power of the emperor's six sons to control the army, which is not unacceptable.

Emperor Wu nodded, and then said: "In this case, the post of Shangshu Ling is newly established, in order to make the court have no objections, it can be the same level as the city order, and the Shanglin Yuan Shangshu Order can be interpreted as the Thorn Yang Order, Han Qing, don't think that I have neglected you......"

Han Kui bowed his head and bowed: "How dare Han Kui!" ”

On the tenth day of the first month of September, the Xuanzheng Palace sent a decree: to change the Jianyang Mansion to Shanglin Yuan, Ren Han Kui to Shanglin Yuan Shangshu Ling, and Ren Huang's sixth son, Gongzi Yan, to be the general of Shanglin Yuan.

Other implicit meanings have been passed on to the people in the court by the Minister of State, Baili Huai, that is, Shanglin Yuan is the pastoral garden of the royal Lin family, and is not subject to the control of the imperial court.

On this day, Lin Yuyan is in Ju Mao's house, and Ju Mao is also very concerned about the political affairs of the court in the past few days.

"Shanglin Yuan?!" Ju Mao listened carefully to Lin Yuyan's explanation, and then asked: "Do you mean to let Lao Tzu transfer some people from the border army for you to give you this Shanglin Yuan to take care of the home?!" ”

"It's not ......" Lin Yuyan hurriedly shook his head, this old man was already blowing his beard and glaring, if it was not good, he would release his murderous aura. has his own good feelings, and he also explained at the moment: "I just want to ask the old general to recommend a border army general, who can train troops and can also march and fight!" ”

This is also Lin Yuyan's helplessness, whether it is Xiang Ying, a thousand-person general of the Shuyang Army, or the deputy general Yi Ji, or even Yu Yan, the commander of Jianyang, who has retired from the position of centurion or veteran in the border army.

But for Lin Yuyan, it is a little insufficient now, which is also the main reason why he came to Jufu with a cheeky face.

Ju Mao squinted his eyes, thought for a while and said: "Lao Tzu listened to your meaning before and after, it's okay, you don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu promised you that you can't succeed, there are many people you want, there are many people in the border army, and Lao Tzu really has a candidate in his heart." ”

"Really?!" Lin Yuyan was a little excited at the moment, and the more she looked at this old man recently, the more pleasing it became!

Ju Mao touched his white hair and said, "What did Lao Tzu lie to you?!" This person is also loyal and will not make trouble for you, as for training and leading the troops, this person has been obsessed with it for many years, and it must be enough for you, but ......"

Hearing the change in Ju Mao's tone, he wanted to stop talking, and Lin Yuyan also urged and asked, "But what?" ”

"But Lao Tzu wants to know what you want people to do, he is a good general in the border army! You tell Lao Tzu about your plans, otherwise Lao Tzu won't transfer him to you! ”

Lin Yuyan had to tell the truth: "Old Ju...... General, maybe it won't be long before there will be a war in the south! ”

"South?!" Ju Mao asked, "Deng Guo?" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded and said: "Well, the Red Turban Army of Jing State, Deng State is in danger, but now Wu Country has no troops to help, I am afraid that it will not be long before the war will lead to the southern border of Wu Kingdom, so ......"

"Okay, okay......" Hearing these things, Ju Mao didn't know whether he was upset or had itchy hands, so he immediately stopped Lin Yuyan and said: "Lao Tzu will transfer it to you, this person's name is Fang De, and he is a 2,000 general in the Nanyang army!" ”

As soon as he heard that it was the 2,000 generals in the border army, Lin Yuyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled at Ju Mao: "The old general Ju is a loyal and righteous man!" ”

Ju Mao scolded with a smile: "Don't praise Lao Tzu!" ”

Then he remembered the matter of Lin Yuan, and said with a serious expression: "This Lin Yuan doesn't sound like a good thing, little cub, you listen to me, if you dare to do anything wrong with Lao Tzu's gold-inlaid treasure knife, Lao Tzu can beat you to death with a rattan!" ”

If there is no murderous aura lingering, Lin Yuyan immediately softened: "Don't do anything wrong!" ”

Ju Mao's complexion gradually returned to normal.
