Chapter 44: A Nose of Dust

The two prime ministers despised the humiliation

Help your people

Emperor Zhao Kuan has been on the throne for almost half a month, and the empire seems to have changed little, but Han Yanxuan feels that everything is changing.

A few days ago, Zhao Ruyu was in the main hall to impeach Lin Yinian and four others. This Lin Yinian was known to the inner class of Emperor Taishang when he was in power, and he was also a confidant of Empress Li. On weekdays, jumping up and down, separating the two houses. As soon as this fold was made, the emperor was furious, and he dismissed all the errands of Lin Yinian and asked them to go to Huiji Mountain to guard the tomb of the emperor.

Subsequently, the emperor issued two holy decrees, appointing Zhao Ruyu as the governor and privy councilor, and Guan Li as the governor of the Funing Palace.

Yesterday, he played and impeached Jiang Teli, deputy head of the Ma Bu Army in eastern Zhejiang, for dereliction of duty and close to the chamberlain. The emperor approved and dismissed Jiang Teli as the deputy head of the Mabu Army in eastern Zhejiang, and demoted him to the Yuezhou regimental training.

After that, Liuzheng and Zhao Ruyu jointly recommended candidates to the emperor to serve in Beijing.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. After the new emperor ascends the throne, he must always promote and reuse some meritorious heroes. He thinks that he has a lot of credit in this inner meditation, and his name should be selected by the prime minister. I don't know if the surname is left, you old Zhao should always be well-educated.

After the day was dispersed, Han Yanxuan walked into the Privy Council, and Zhao Ruyu was reviewing the documents. When I saw him, I just moved, and with a lukewarm look, I asked him to sit down and talk.

Han Yanxuan was still a little embarrassed, and his words were a little vague.

Zhao participates in politics, I have been in the Cabinet Division for several years, and you have also seen my talent during this period of time, you see-

Only then did Zhao Ruyu raise his head, glanced at Han Yanxuan, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Isn't there a lack of moderation in some places?

Zhao Ruyu glanced at Han Yanxuan again, this time it was a little meaningful: Han Gemen, you are a royal relative, I am a clan with the same surname, they are all royal relatives, you can't do a little bit to invite merit, and the promotion rewards are mostly for those officials with foreign surnames.

A few words made Han Yanxuan stunned, and then said to Han Yanxuan: If it's not a big deal, I'll be busy with other things.

Han Yanxuan didn't know how he came back, sitting in the pavilion door, and the anger in his heart couldn't stop rushing upward: Isn't this bullying, don't say anything, don't promote, then why is your surname Zhao the deputy minister? With a cold face, he doesn't even have the least hospitality, isn't he just looking down on people? Then what did you ask me to do in the first place?

That night, Han Qingyuan brought the stone carving of "The Legend of Xiangzhou Dayjintang".

When this huge and heavy stone tablet stood in the courtyard of his house, reading the concise, smooth and clear words on it, it was like a gust of wind blowing, and his mood suddenly brightened.

sent a housekeeper to ask the pavilion to praise Liu Lan, and after a while, Liu Lan came with the Ma sisters.

Ma Yufang got out of the sedan chair, walked in front of Han Yanxuan, and bowed his head. Ma Yuzhen smiled and said to Han Yanxuan:

Lord Han, you are a living bodhisattva, the little sister came home the night before, the old father sat up from the bed all of a sudden, took his sister's hand and didn't let go, tears were in his eyes, and he didn't let her go out for two days, for fear that she would be robbed.

Han Yanxuan was also happy from the bottom of his heart, such a good woman should not appear there, and said: It's good to come back, it's good to come back.

Ma Yuzhen said again: Master Han, I came uninvited today, wait a while, I will cook two specialty dishes, let you taste them, and the sister will pour wine and sing a little song to make you happy.

When Liu Lan saw the big stone stele, he was shocked. Ah, Han Ye This is a good thing, you see, this article is good, the words are good, needless to say, Shao Bi seal, Jian Yi engraving, Zhao Lianggui standing stone, are all written by everyone, it can be called the five uniques, this is a priceless treasure!

Han Yanxuan ordered the housekeeper to carry it into the study.

A table of wine, four people. For Han Yanxuan, Han Qingyuan is a relative of his family, Liu Lan is a close friend, and Ma Yufang is a favorite beauty. This is so beautiful, naturally he should drink him upside down.

Fortunately, although several people said that they were not drunk, they all knew that no one wanted Han Yanxuan to get drunk. As a result, after the end, everyone was clear-headed and articulate.

Liu Lan pulled him aside and said mysteriously: Master Han, my sister has brought it, so stay in the house, and tell you, this girl is still a virgin.

Han Yanxuan told him: This matter has never been mentioned to his wife, and besides, there have been too many things recently, and he has no clue. Then, he disclosed the attitude of the two Liuzhao slightly.

Liu Lan said: Master Han, it's okay, as long as the emperor treats you well, don't ask anyone else. Why not, isn't it just that the status is high and the Lu is more generous, the master has such a great merit, and the requirements are not high. It won't take long for the prime minister to stay, and I will persuade Zhao to participate in politics. If not, my brother will find a way for you, you have helped me so much, and you have also let me play.

Okay, I'll thank you, Sister Ling still take it back first, and wait until I have stable eyebrows.

Then listen to Han Ye.

After the Liu family left, the Han family and the two sat together again, and Han Qingyuan told the seventh uncle about the situation after returning to Xiangzhou.

After returning to Anyang, he went to find the old patriarch, the old patriarch was called Han Zhoupeng, and he was close to ancient times. After reading your letter and accepting your money, he was very excited, and kept shouting: The sky has eyes, my Han family has been loyal and famous for generations. The seventh brother is really good, quite an ancestor's style.

Then, facing the south, looking up at the sky, he said affectionately: I don't know when, we can return to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty?

The old patriarch told the clansmen: Back then, Wang Fugui did not forget his hometown, and took care of my Han clan in every way, and built a house for those who did not eat, and also paid money to buy 1,000 acres of righteous land for us to cultivate. Now, the descendants of his old man have not forgotten those of us who were enslaved by the Han clan in Fanbang. This is a letter from the great-grandson of the king of Zhongxian, the seventh brother of the emperor: one to thank us for sacrificing our ancestors for decades, and the other to bring money to take care of the poor surnamed Han. The seventh brother said: Let all the children surnamed Han have food, clothing, a house to live in, the elderly to be raised, the children to watch, and land to plant, and he also said: How much money is missing, he will admit it.

The patriarch also said: Our Han family has always been benevolent and righteous, and we know how to repay Entu. We must do this well and let the seventh brother rest assured. Then, he asked the people who came to be responsible for each piece of the land, and went from house to house to register, and found out the population, age, occupation, family property, and land.

After totaling, the entire Xiangzhou has a total of 353 households and 2,2013 people belonging to the Dayjin Hall. There are 73 people in 11 households without houses, 23 people who are elderly and have no children to support, 36 people who are orphans and no one to take care of them, 48 people who have been sold into slavery, and 61 households who have no acres of land and live in poverty.

The clansmen calculated again: it was necessary to build 100 houses, about 1,000 yuan, to buy 600 acres of land, about 9,000 yuan, and to ransom people, it was necessary to 2,400 yuan. The land bought is given to the landless family, and the family supports a lonely old man, who only needs to pay one stone of grain per mu a year, and the family of the redeemed slave and maid takes care of a child in each family. Rural households with a minimum of 10 yuan per year donate more than 10 yuan, and those who are officials and businessmen donate more than 20 yuan a year.

The patriarch told Han Qingyuan to give the account to the seventh brother and make it clear, don't take what is insufficient, the seventh brother is not a big businessman, as long as he rises step by step, just think more about the clansmen in his hometown. And Uncle Seven, I gave all the money you gave to the clansmen, and I didn't leave a single copper plate. This stele didn't cost much money, but when I passed the level, I gave some.

Han Yanxuan said that Qingyuan was sensible and felt sorry for Uncle Seven. It's okay, although Uncle Seven is not a businessman, but he has a good family background, and he still has some money. In this way, Uncle Seven will give you another 5,000 yuan, and handle this matter well, and the patriarch and eldest brother will do a complete and thorough job, and they can't be allowed to contribute and money.

Han Qingyuan nodded, I listened to Uncle Seven. However, Uncle Seven, I have a request, I don't know if I can say it?

Han Yanxuan nodded in approval. Do you also want to go out and do maritime business?

Uncle Seven, it's amazing, I just want to learn to do business with Brother Li, and now it's not fun to make a little fuss.

As long as you can go away at home, when Renyou's business is done, Uncle Seven will send you. You wait patiently.
