The army was gradually promoted

Prime Minister Xie retired early

In fact, Zhao Kuo's actions were completely influenced by Empress Yang Guizhi. The night before, the two talked in the palace.

The queen asked him with concern, the official family, are you tired today?

Zhao Kuo replied: Why aren't you tired? In the morning, the ministers played a lot of things, and in the afternoon they approved a large stack of recitals, which made me dizzy.

The queen was curious again, did she say anything good in that compromise?

How do I remember? All of them make sense, and I don't even know what to do.

The queen gave him an idea: You are the emperor, the whole world is yours, the ministers in the court, the palace attendants, and the concubines and palace maids, the officials can all command, let them do things, the officials only make a decision, saying that they can do it, or not, as for how to do it, it is up to them to decide, if something happens or it is not done well, they will ask them.

For example, in the morning, let the Hanlin Bachelor, the Zhizhi Edict, the Zhongshu Sheren, and the first look in the matter, these people are the secretaries and consultants of the official family, let them do it, not to trouble them, but to reuse them, and let them classify the excerpts; In the afternoon, when the official family approves it, let them tell you to listen, read a copy, let them come up with ideas, and if the official thinks it is right, write a few words according to this opinion, and if you can't make up your mind, let the government hall go to discuss.

The next day, the emperor really did this, when reviewing the chapter, Zhang Hanlin was on the side, and when he saw Fan Zuliang's notebook, he felt a little interesting, so he asked Zhang Hanlin to talk about it again, and now he figured it out, it was a good suggestion, which not only saved money, but also did practical things.

Zhang Hanlin also agreed, not disturbing the people and not causing trouble.

The emperor said to himself: "Then what should I write?" ”

Zhang Hanlin bowed his head and said: Your Majesty can allow him to play and handle it in the political hall.

So, Zhao Kuozhu wrote: "It will be done immediately." Then he ordered the inner class to know the customs ceremony and hand it over to Han Yanxuan.

Han Yanxuan got the notebook approved by the emperor himself, looked at it again and again, and for the first time, it was no longer the same word a thousand times, what a gratifying change, indicating that the emperor was mature.

He took the notebook, happily followed Guan Li into the palace, saw the emperor, held the notebook, and knelt on the ground with Guan Li and Zhang Hanlin:

"Your Majesty is wise, Weichen will definitely handle this matter! Long live my emperor, long live. ”

Zhao Kuo laughed heartily, "Okay, Zhongqing, Master Han, you can do it." ”

Returning to the Taishi's Mansion and sitting down, Han Yanxuan sent an order to his subordinates and invited the minister to come to discuss the matter.

After circulating the recital of the imperial approval, everyone fell silent for a while, and Han Yanxuan told everyone: The emperor has read this recital twice, and praised it again and again, saying that this method not only saves money, but also does practical things, and orders me to do this matter well.

Right Prime Minister Ding Qiaoan said: Judging from the current local situation, this Xiang army really does not play a role, and there are more disadvantages than benefits, but the integration of displaced people and criminals into the local army is a policy set by Taizu, which has been implemented for more than 200 years.

Zhang Yan, a member of the Privy Council, who signed the book, spoke: The proposal of this chapter is very good, the emperor agrees with it, and the Taishi also agrees with it, so there is no need to look ahead and backward for the abolition of the abolition, the key is how to change this matter well.

Han Yan bowed his head and smiled: Cheng Shumi said very well, as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, the ancestral system can be changed.

Liu Luan, the governor of the political department and the envoy of the third department, said: Fan Zuliang's suggestion is very good, and the current Xiang army really does not play a role, and some even disturb the people and harm the people. I'm in charge of money, let's settle the score, and see which one is more cost-effective?

Chen Zhishan, the right prime minister, said: I thought that the master said it well, and he had to change it and do things beautifully.

Liu Jianxiu, the governor of the political council, believes that the withdrawal is to be withdrawn, but the question is which ones to withdraw, and whether the troops in every prefecture and county in the country must be withdrawn? Longxing Province is an inland area, and there can be no local army, and the prefectures and counties on the border are not okay?

Han Yanxuan said: Yes, this is to the point.

Zuo Prime Minister Xie Shenfu said: Two days ago, Longxing Mansion had an excerpt and reported the truth of the Xiang Army, and asked for instructions. Let's discuss it and think of a perfect solution.

Han Yanxuan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, glanced at him, oh, there is an excerpt in Longxing Mansion, why haven't you heard of it?

Xie Shenfu replied: I was about to report to the Taishi, so did I call him? After speaking, he handed over the fold, but Han Yanxuan didn't answer:

Then ask Liu Shenzheng to read it to everyone.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and finally decided: take Fan Zuliang's suggestion as the preliminary plan, start from Longxing Mansion and implement it on Jiangxi Road. After success, it will be promoted to other ways. In order to facilitate implementation, Fan Zuliang was appointed as Jiangxi's deputy envoy for pacification.

The next day, the Zhongshu Province issued a notice: Li Shizhang and Fan Zuliang were invited to go to Beijing to receive the decree.

During this time, the positions of some important officials changed.

Hu Yingyuan, the head of the household, rode a horse to the garden, and suddenly, the horse galloped forward like crazy, Hu Bao couldn't stand it, fell down, and fell unconscious, and before ten days, he swallowed his breath.

Seventy-four-year-old Yang Wanli has repeatedly increased his official ranks, first edicted to enter the Baomo Pavilion and gave him a belt; Two months later, he entered the founding marquis of Luling County and added 300 households.

Seventy-one-year-old Liu Jianxiu asked Zhishi to return to his hometown, and the imperial court thought that it was not possible to retire, so he would retire to the second line first, so he awarded the Duanming Palace a bachelor and promoted the Yulong Wanshou Palace in Longxing Mansion. Liu Jianxiu didn't want these false names and resigned again. Since you are so resolute, as you wish, grant the bachelor of Jixian Palace, enter the founding marquis of Yuzhang County, and go back to Jingzhou to retire.

Xie Shenfu had the idea of retiring, and wrote to Zhao Kuo, saying that he was old and frail, his eyes could not see clearly, his ears could not hear clearly, and he wanted to return to Wuyi Mountain to retire.

In fact, Xie Shenfu was only sixty-five years old at this time, and before that, he had been awarded the three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, first as Shen Guogong, then as Qi Guogong, and then as Lu Guogong. It should be said that the treatment that should be given is all there, and in the position of prime minister, what is there not to be satisfied with?

Hearing that he was sick in bed, Han Yanxuan took someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit.

The screen went left and right, and the two talked in the study:

Xie Xianggong, why did you suddenly ask for Zhishi? It's hard to have an opinion on Han.

Xie Shenfu's expression was serious: Taishi's words are serious, Xie has always respected Taishi, and Taishi has not treated Xie as an outsider, where does it come from? It is indeed in poor health. Taishi, look at Xie's appearance.

Han Yanxuan carefully examined him from head to toe, indeed, his face was gray, his voice was hoarse and weak, his body was surprisingly thin, and he lacked the spirit that a normal person should have.

Taishi, you see, who is not full of red light and full of spirit in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. As for me, what you see is only on the surface, in fact, I see that you can't see clearly, there are double visions, a little farther away, obedient and can't hear clearly, and I often have a faint pain in my stomach, and I have to defecate three or four times a day. I feel it myself, the end is not far off.

The first application, the emperor Zhao Kuo did not allow it, and then wrote the second time, or not allowed, and handed it again for the third time, the emperor summoned him to the palace, gave him tea, and said to him: "Qing can abide by the law for me, cherish the name, and do not go." Xie Shenfu was sincerely frightened, explaining the situation, Zhao Kuo mentioned the sentence in the royal pen to write "Saying Destiny": The humerus is only a person, and the good minister is only a saint. 500 gold coins.

Then, he issued a decree to thank Shenfu Shaobao and Shaofu, and awarded Liquan Guan. Advance notice is granted.
