Chapter 120: Planning Political Affairs
After receiving the report and knowing that the entire palace was in place, the two of them chatted a few more words, and dinner was served. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you want to say that the food in the Luoyang Palace is good, the dinner is still meat-based, luxurious but slightly rough. After the two of them devoured each other, they were wiped out, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to the scene where they used to train together and kill the enemy together, and all the instructions of the Queen Mother were left behind.
After sending Zhou Mi away, Zhou Bian only felt sore, the night before yesterday but stayed up all night, although he slept well last night, but today is still tired for a day, in the morning he sat in Luoyang wearing thick armor, and then he was an assassin, and he ate after worshipping his ancestors, and then it was a big court, and he was busy until now, even his iron body couldn't stand it, let alone a nine-year-old child.
Fortunately, Liu and the others had already prepared, and after serving the king and walking to the main hall, they saw that the space was suddenly small, and after bending a few small rooms, it was the king's bedroom, and at this time Qiao'er had already made the bed and the water for washing was ready. After a long wait, Zhou Bian's eyes closed heavily, and he slept really soundly this night.
I slept until dawn the next day, and I seemed to have some dreams, as if it was a chariot galloping, but after waking up, Zhou Bian couldn't remember it clearly. When I opened my eyes, I found that it was a strange big room, the roof was carved with some quaint patterns, the walls were painted with white paint, the panes were carved into the shape of water, the door curtain was dark, the pillars around were dark red, the whole environment was simple and classic, luxurious and elegant, and in a trance Zhou Bian thought that he had crossed again? But then I remembered that I had returned to the royal family's home, Luoyang Palace.
coughed lightly, and two women flashed in behind the curtain, which were Liu and Qiao'er. "The king slept well last night, the slave family has been sleeping outside, if the king is thirsty at night or something in the future, just call the slave family." The first to speak was naturally Liu.
And when Qiao'er flashed in and saw that the king had woken up, she smiled and turned around and went out again. Liu Shi helped Zhou Bian up alone, waited for him to get up, and after Zhou Bian put on his shoes, Qiao'er also came back, followed by a few little maids holding the things of the basin, it seems that the tide is rising, Qiao'er has also become a small leader in the king's bedroom, and no longer has to do these heavy jobs with her own hands. Seeing Qiao'er casually commanding his little maid to come, Zhou Bian thought of Ling'er, the first thing he saw when he crossed over was Ling'er and Qiao'er, but Ling'er took a step forward in order to protect it, otherwise she would definitely be a female official by now, thinking of this, Zhou Bian's eyes couldn't help but be a little wet.
Liu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the king's expression was different, he hurriedly asked. Looking at Liu's concerned eyes, and since the deceased has passed away, then he should cherish the person in front of him even more, Zhou Bian grinned again, "This king is fine, you can serve this king to change his clothes quickly, this king still has a lot of things to do today." ”
The children are busy and speed up, although the heavy work of carrying water is done by a little maid, and it is still the work of Liu and Qiao'er to serve the king to wash in person, and others can't get involved. Quickly finished breakfast, walked out of the bedroom, bent a few small rooms before coming to the hall where the candles were lit yesterday, the life of the ancient nobles is really corrupt, a person has to sleep in such a big hall, it is really luxurious.
At this time, the candlesticks in the hall had already been cleaned up, and there were a few people waiting in the hall, sitting there chatting, and when they saw that it was Taishi and others, it seemed that they were getting up late, Zhou Bian secretly said sorry in his heart, and walked quickly.
Seeing the king coming over energetically, the Taishi smiled, "See the king, the king is in high spirits, it seems that he slept very well last night, congratulations!" ”
Zhou Bian was a little embarrassed, and replied, "This king sleeps well anywhere, but I don't know where the Taishi slept last night, and Luoyang City should also arrange a house for the Taishi, otherwise it will be the king's fault." ”
"This matter is not in a hurry, but now that we have just arrived in Luoyang, it is really not good to start the construction, and it is okay for the old man to wait. It's just that there are still some things to deal with today, so please ask Dr. Bai to come and listen to the king. Taishi smiled, although he refused, but obviously he was still very satisfied with the king's words and accepted them.
After the Taishi and the king finished talking, the rest of the ministers behind him came out to meet the king one by one, and it turned out that the young master, Bai Gui, Sima Tu, Wang Sunman, and Dr. Tu Pingtu and Dr. Xin Zhongli Xin and Dr. Ning Yue Ning also came. After seeing each other, Bai Guicai arched his hand and said, "King, these are important ministers of my royal family, but since the Taishi ordered Bai to come to the court, then Bai will obey the order." In fact, these were all discussed with the king early in the morning, and it was only on the implementation details that we discussed it again under the leadership of the Taishi. One is that Meng Jin has not yet been included in the royal family, this matter should not be delayed, late will change, according to the king's plan, put forward Li Ding, who served my royal family in Gongyi, as a thousand commanders, let him lead his soldiers to accept Meng Jin, and at the same time govern the two centurions originally stationed in Mengjin, set Li Ding as Meng Jinshou, and added the title of the next doctor, what does the king think? ”
Earlier, he had been busy fighting with Zhou Gong in Gongyi, and later he was busy recovering Luoyang, so he had not been able to take care of the important ferry port of Mengjin, but Zhou Gong and Gongzi's class were no longer there, and it was expected that accepting Mengjin was also a matter of hand, so Zhou Bian nodded, "Mengjin is the throat of the north of Luoyang, not to be underestimated, this king agrees with your opinion, so let Li Ding set off today." ”
"The king is wise. The second thing is the matter of sending an envoy to Korea that was set when Gongyi was in Gongyi, and the young master was scheduled to go earlier, so let Master Sima return to Chengzhou to be in charge of Zhou, and change the young master to go to Zhengdu, how about it? ”
"It's just that Master Sima only arrived yesterday, but today he has to go back to Chengzhou, and it's hard work." Zhou Bian looked at Sima Tu.
Although Sima Tu wanted to stay in the prosperous place of Luoyang, Taishi and others did their work to make them realize that Cheng Zhou was the old base camp of the royal family, and staying in Cheng Zhou was reused, so Sima Tu agreed, and at this time, seeing that the king was concerned about himself, Sima Tu realized that it didn't matter where he was, the important thing was to attract the attention of the king, so Lord Sima hurriedly said, "Don't dare to worry about the son of heaven, and the ministers should be loyal and serving." ”
"In this way, the safety of Chengzhou City and the Queen Mother will be handed over to Lord Sima, and after the royal family has a firm foothold in Luoyang, Lord Sima will return to Luoyang to accept the important task." Zhou Bian smiled slightly, and then his voice changed, "But this king thinks that Wei is the first power today after all, and the royal family has returned to Luoyang, so he has to inform Wei Hou and Han Hou, and at the same time ask Wei Hou for support, what do you think?" ”
"Exactly." The ministers shouted in unison. After the words were spoken, I only heard the Taishi continue, "The old minister recommends that Doctor Man go." ”
Wang Sunman is also the best candidate in Zhou Bian's heart, and Zhou Bian naturally nodded in agreement.
"The third thing is the assassination of the king in Gongyi and Luoyang yesterday, the assassination of the Son of Heaven is a shocking event, and the minister asks the king to order a thorough investigation in the whole city to find out the murderer." Baekyu continued.
"By the way, didn't Wang Sunjian chase after him yesterday, but he captured the other party alive or found any traces?" I was too busy and tired yesterday, and then Zhou Bian forgot about it, so I asked when I heard Bai Gui mention it.
As expected, Bai Gui shook his head, "King, that thief is cunning, Wang Sunjian failed to catch a single live mouth. Yesterday, the thieves scattered and fled, as long as they were caught up, they all took their own swords and cut their stomachs, Wang Sunjian was also so angry that he stomped his feet, but there was nothing to be done, originally after the dispersal of the dynasty yesterday, we learned the news, but thought that the king should have slept peacefully, so he did not report to the king in time, please forgive the king! ”
It seems that the thief is really cunning, it is really not a good taste to be stared at by such a thief hidden in the shadows, Zhou Bian gritted his teeth and said, "Then if the whole city is blocked, can you find out?" Or do you have any suspicions? ”
Everyone shook their heads, and Bai Gui opened his mouth and said, "King, there are many merchants in Luoyang City, and the royal family has just taken over Luoyang, so they will block the whole city, but I am afraid that the impact will be too great, and the thieves are cunning, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find out if I block the whole city alone." However, Bai thought that if it was a group of people who planned to assassinate the king and those who assassinated the Duke of Zhou, he was afraid that it was the descendants of the royal family scattered elsewhere, otherwise if someone else was assassinated, he would not justifiably get Luoyang, if it was not a group of people, it would be incomprehensible. Therefore, Bai thought that he should send someone to search for a large number of outsiders who had suddenly appeared in the city recently, they must have come in in the name of merchants, but they did not engage in business, and they would definitely be able to find clues if they investigated carefully. And the death of Zhou Gong is also related to them, so the original people in Luoyang can be used. ”
Bai Gui's analysis is indeed reasonable, listening to a group of people nodding their heads again and again, Zhou Bian was about to open his mouth to approve, but suddenly someone behind the audience shouted, "King, something has something to say." ”
Everyone looked back, and it was Ning Yue, who had been silent since he came. Obviously, this person did not agree with Bai Gui's statement, so everyone then turned their eyes to Bai Gui, but the latter looked natural and arched his hand, "What advice does Doctor Ning have?" ”
Ning Yue was about to reply, but at this time, the young master was furious, "Ning Xiao'er, today is the time for my royal family to discuss important matters, why did you come uninvited?" It's just a matter of coming, the old man is also a person who knows etiquette, and he doesn't take action to catch you, but you don't know what to do, and you interject at will, don't you really take my royal family in your eyes? ”
The young master is really a dog, and he bites everyone when he sees it, but it seems that the queen mother covers him, and he has never caused great harm, so Zhou Bian has not done anything about it, so he turned his attention to Ning Yue again to see how he copes. Sure enough, Ning Yue didn't put his hand down, but continued to salute, "Young Master, Ning Mou didn't come uninvited, but at the will of the king, and the interjection at this time was also at the will of the king, don't blame me!" ”
The young master was amused, and after laughing twice, he said, "When did the king give you an order, but why didn't you hear about it?" ”
"Yesterday's day at the Great Meeting."
"Is there one?" The young master set his eyes on the Taishi beside him, "The old man doesn't remember that the king called the Ning clan yesterday. Taishi thought about it and shook his head.
Ning Yue was still unhurried, "Taishi, young master, several adults, yesterday the Taishi waited for the king to issue a decree, saying that the former ministers of the late Zhou Duke of Luoyang are all in their own positions. To put it simply, what did you do before, and what do you still do now, right, Master Taishi? ”
This is a fact, the Taishi nodded without thinking. The young master seemed to remember something and was about to speak, but Ning Yue took the lead. "That's it, Ning's previous duty was to serve the master morning and evening, and give advice to the master. Therefore, according to the king's will, Ning Mou came to listen to the dispatch of the lord and solve the lord's worries today, as in the past. ”
"You!" The young master was furious, and it seemed that he had nothing to deal with after being refuted.
Seeing this, Zhou Bian knew that it was time for him to appear, so he coughed lightly, glared at the young master again, and said, "Don't worry about this issue. Ning Yue is a wise man, loyalty is a vote, and it is a blessing for the royal family. The king's concession period will give advice to the king day and night. Ning Qing, you just said you have something to say about the assassins, but what are your plans? ”
"Back to the king, there is no plan yet, but there is a clue." Seeing that the king had spoken, Ning Yue stood up and bowed. "Doctor Bai, you are familiar with the nobles and big families in Luoyang, can you notice that the royal family has returned to Luoyang this time, which one has not come forward to greet or express anything?"
Bai Gui didn't notice this problem all the time, thinking that others wouldn't love him, or maybe he couldn't figure it out for a while and didn't come forward, but at this time, as soon as Ning Yue reminded him, he realized the problem at once, so he sat there and counted it with his fingers. For a while, in the room, in addition to the Taishi and the others who were not familiar with the situation in Luoyang, Tu Ping and Xin Zhongli also lowered their heads and pondered, but after a while, it was Bai Gui who opened his mouth first, "If it weren't for Brother Ning's reminder, I wouldn't have noticed that the famous nobles in Luoyang City, except for the Deng family, are really not left behind." ”
