Qu Zixi and the others are all ministers of the DPRK and China, and the little Tired Marquis Mansion has no way to see each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Han Ruzi found an excuse to summon the four people one after another, and Zhao Ruosu stood aside to observe, ostensibly packing up the official documents with the two eunuchs.

The first person to be summoned was Feng Ju, who had just lost his position as the secretary of the very powerful ministry, and his chances of succeeding him as prime minister were getting slimmer and needed a little reassurance.

During the period when the prime minister was vacant, Feng Ju acted as an agent and presided over the discussion in the Qinzheng Palace, and Han Ruzi summoned him to discuss the suppression of bandits in the East China Sea.

Feng Ju was as respectful as usual, and seemed uncomplaining.

Yun Mengze's suppression of bandits has not yet been completed, Han Ruzi is already planning the battle of the East China Sea, Yun Mengze is progressing smoothly, and the end is relatively early, so there are two factions of opinion in the DPRK and China: one faction believes that it should take advantage of the victory to pursue and immediately start suppressing bandits in the East China Sea, while the other faction insists on the original plan and must wait until the warship is completed before suppressing the bandits.

The ministers have been arguing about this matter for several days, and the generals have different ideas, and Huang Pugong, who will be appointed as the chief general of the suppression of bandits, has nothing to do, "When there are few ships, they can make strange plans, and when there are many ships, they can use the right moves." ”

Therefore, Han Ruzi called Feng Ju to Lingyun Pavilion to hear his personal thoughts.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Feng Ju acted as the prime minister, and he couldn't talk casually.

"The two factions have their own advantages and disadvantages: the immediate war, the morale is the highest, but there are also the most accidents, you can catch the pirates by surprise, but there is no way to completely surround the pirates, there are always fish that slip through the net; Two years later, the war will start, and it is very likely that the pirates will be wiped out once and for all. ”

Feng Ju thought for a while, "According to the minister's opinion, it is better to use two strategies at the same time, first send a naval army into the sea, one is to repel pirates and frustrate the enemy's spirit, the second is to survey the sea situation and prepare for a decisive battle, and the third is to protect the dock from being attacked by sneak attacks." For this naval army, we do not seek a big victory, we do not ask about the number of enemies to be destroyed, it is all about training, and after two years of merging into the army, we will definitely win. ”

This is almost the same as Han Ruzi's thoughts, he smiled and said: "Lord Feng is high, there is no need to discuss it anymore, so it is decided, Lord Lao Feng has notified the military department to formulate a plan to suppress bandits accordingly." ”

Feng Ju retired.

This meeting was extremely ordinary, Han Ruzi didn't see anything special, and looked at Zhao Ruosu, but the little official didn't speak, and he had to wait until he had seen all four of them before he came to a conclusion.

The second is the new right patrol Shi Zhuo Ruhe, although most people believe that he is the next prime minister, but the emperor has never said clearly, as a party, Zhuo Ruhe is somewhat expected and apprehensive, when he meets the emperor, he is more respectful than Feng Ju, and he is more serious when answering questions.

"The Prime Minister of the Frontier and the Southern County are often controlled by the family, I think it is inappropriate, but I don't want to alarm the world, Lord Zhuo has an idea?"

Zhuo Ruhe bowed and saluted, thinking for a long time, "It can not be generalized, the south is humble and humid, and the customs and customs are completely different from the Central Plains, according to past experience, every time the official is changed, the indigenous people must have a chaotic ......."

Why is that? The magistrate did too well, and the natives thought about it, and they didn't want to let people go? Han Ruzi asked, he had never been to the south, and he only relied on official documents, and he didn't know much about that side.

Zhuo Ruhe replied: "It's not all, the indigenous people don't know how to write, don't make written documents, all the agreements are mainly oral, often invite many people, swear in public, and implement it afterwards, and only recognize the people who made the oath at that time, as soon as there is an official transfer, the aborigines think that they want to break the contract." ”

Han Ruzi didn't expect this to be the reason, "Why don't you educate the literary officials of the southern faction?" ”

Zhuo Ruhe said: "Since Taizu Dingding, Da Chu has never stopped edifying, and it has become a trend in the south of the Yangtze River, where the number of champions has exceeded that of the north, but in the remote places further south, the effect is very small, and the natives despise words, thinking they are useless, and even regard them as insidious and despicable things, and would rather die than learn." Officials can't, they can only go with the flow. ”

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "What about the Frontier Minister?" ”

In the early days, Emperor Wu also frequently transferred the state minister, but the new state minister was difficult to get along with the princes, which caused a lot of chaos, and even one prince committed suicide in Beijing, just to accuse his own state minister. Emperor Wu killed the prime minister, and since then he has rarely moved, only hoping that the minister and the princes can be safe. ”

"The result of peace and quiet is the rebellion of King Qi?" Han Ruzi said.

"It is precisely the former King of Qi who, in order to cover up the rebellion, often takes the initiative to change the minister of state."

"So, there's no way to solve any of these problems?"

Zhuo Ruhe bowed and saluted, "If you want to solve it once and for all, it is difficult, and gradually solve it one by one, there are many ways." ”

"Well, there is a countermeasure written by Lord Lau Zhuo, and I want to read it carefully."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhuo Ruhe was ordered to retire.

Zhao Ruosu still didn't speak, in fact, his gaze never turned.

The third is Qu Zixi, the new head of the household department.

Among the six departments, the household department is in charge of the world's population taxes, and its responsibilities are the most detailed.

"The displaced people have been decided, since the beginning of spring, there has been a shortage of food in many places, and they have frequently complained to the imperial court.

All the questions were raised by Han Ruzi himself, and Zhao Ruosu did not participate.

Qu Zixi's posture was generous and chic when he saluted, quite ancient, and replied: "Disaster relief is not the responsibility of the household department, if Your Majesty wants to transfer grain, you need to propose it in the Qinzheng Palace, and the ministers will discuss it together, and the household department will provide local figures for reference, and after making a decision, it will be implemented in cooperation with various ministries and departments." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and asked a different way, "I don't ask the head of the household, I only ask Mr. Qu, is there a solution?" ”

Qu Zixi didn't want to think about it and replied: "The people are not happy, this is the problem of the foundation, but it is only a local adjustment, it is no longer enough for disaster relief, I hope that Your Majesty will reduce the imperial diet, damage the luxury, release the garden forest, open the military warehouse, and save the people from fire and water with the heart of suppressing pirates and exterminating the Huns, or it can be done." ”

Han Ruzi smiled again, "The first few items are acceptable, it seems inappropriate to open a military warehouse, the internal worries of Dachu have not been eliminated, the external troubles are still there, the military warehouse has no food, and the morale is low, how can you suppress pirates and exterminate the Huns?" ”

"There is no grain in the warehouse, and it can be replenished in the coming year, if the people's hearts are lost, when will they be able to get it again?"

Han Ruzi laughed, "Rong Zhen thinks about it." ”

The last one is Shen Mingzhi, who has just stepped down as prime minister, and now his identity is Taishi, and he does not plan to stay in the capital, the whole family is packing up and preparing to return to his hometown, and he was summoned to the palace, and he was very moved, which is equivalent to the emperor seeing him off, and after the news came out, Shen Mingzhi's status in his hometown will be greatly improved.

Han Ruzi chatted for a few words, and finally asked, "Who can succeed Master Shen as prime minister?" ”

Shen Mingzhi was a little surprised, he had already commented on the three most likely people to the emperor, but he didn't expect to be asked again, he pondered for a moment, and replied: "The magistrate uses Feng, the Li people use Zhuo, and the major affairs use Qu, but Your Majesty will cut it." ”

Shen Mingzhi said the previous answer again, and after Han Ruzi thanked him, he sent someone to send the old prime minister out.

It took two days to summon the four people, and Zhao Ruosu did not say a word during the period, and after Shen Mingzhi left, he could no longer be silent.

"Your Majesty can use Lord Zhuo." Zhao Ruosu's conclusion is simple.

"Why?"

"Your Majesty wants to use Lord Zhuo, and you trust each other, this is the most important reason."

Han Ruzi smiled and said nothing, he had never disclosed his thoughts, but he couldn't hide it.

Zhao Ruosu continued: "Taishi Shen actually gave the answer as well. ”

"Rational Minzhuo." Han Ruzi repeated Shen Mingzhi's words.

"As Qu Shangshu said, the displaced people are the root trouble, so it is a top priority to manage the people, and it is necessary to use Zhuo Yushi, there is no major event in the court at the moment, Qu Shangshu can wait."

"What about Feng Yushi?"

"The suppression of bandits in the East China Sea is a long-planned plan of His Majesty, and the ministers know it, but Feng Ju did not offer a strange plan, but it is recommended to use both long and short plans, which seems to be perfunctory.

Han Ruzi thought for a moment, "That's it." ”

On the morning of the next day, Han Ruzi announced his decision in the Qinzheng Palace: the right patrol imperial Shi Zhuo Ruhe was an old minister of the first emperor, with remarkable merits, and he was an official and a prime minister.

The ministers knelt down to accept the decree, and then went to draw up the official edict, only Zhuo Ruhe himself still knelt in front of the emperor, according to the custom, he should resign.

Han Ruzi didn't give him a chance to be humble, glanced at the minister who walked away, and said to Zhuo Ruhe under the steps of the throne: "Jun once said, 'The government seems to have food, but it seems to have no food', Jun is the prime minister today, I have only one request, we must let the government have food, and the people have food." ”

Zhuo Ruhe knelt down and thanked him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Ruzi summoned Zhuo Ruhe again in Lingyun Pavilion, this time there were no outsiders present, and the monarchs and ministers no longer tested each other, but had something to say.

"The military is in my own hands, and the people are all in charge of the prime minister, if Dachu wants to revitalize, the fundamental technique lies in benefiting the people, and the responsibility of the prime minister is the top priority."

Zhuo Ruhe was also not polite, "The minister should be a minister and do not dishonor the holy order, there is only one thing, the minister must make it clear to His Majesty first." ”

"Zhuo Xiang, please speak."

"The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, so the prime minister first governs the officials and then manages the people, since Your Majesty entrusts the ministers, and the ministers want to promote and demote a group of officials, please approve Your Majesty."

The king of the East China Sea once reminded the emperor that Emperor Heng's reign was short, and the close ministers around him were released before they had time to take power, and Zhuo Ruhe was one of them.

Zhuo Ruhe was able to say it bluntly, but Han Ruzi was very happy, "Officials below the third grade, Ren Jun adjusted, above the third grade, I can know it." ”

Zhuo Ruhe thanked him again, and then he talked about the art of managing the people, and sure enough, he was the Tao.

Han Ruzi was very satisfied, and even felt that the delay was really unnecessary, he really thought too much, and finally he asked: "The palace sent a few ginseng plants to my aunt the day before yesterday, but it is still easy to use?" ”

Zhuo Ruhe was slightly stunned, "The princess has taken a little service, her health is much better, she has thanked the Queen Mother, and she does not dare to disturb Your Majesty." ”

"That's good, if you don't need it in the future, just ask the palace."

The king of the East China Sea once said that someone gave gifts to Zhuo Mansion, and Han Ruzi took this opportunity to wake up Zhuo Ruhe, don't be too greedy.

Zhuo Ruhe didn't expect the emperor to investigate himself so carefully, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his body, after leaving the palace, he was uneasy, opened the sedan curtain, and whispered to his cronies: "Go to see Nan Zhijin, a member of the Zhongshu House, and ask him when it is convenient to meet again."
