Back at the inn, the guards reported that Shao Qi had returned. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Min didn't bother to pay attention to it for the time being, and casually asked someone to inform Shao Qixian and wait. It is not small to have priorities, and to do things with eyes and ears, but it is not so urgent, and the most important thing now is the result of the decree. Just now, several people were traveling along the way, and it was inconvenient to ask, but at this time, he was free, and as soon as he entered the house, he grabbed Meng Hou and couldn't wait to ask about the news obtained from the contact.

Meng Hou also knew Zhao Min's eagerness, this time he didn't pretend to be a god stick to lose his appetite, and told the whole process straightforwardly.

It turned out that Meng Hou went to visit the envoy early in the morning, but who knew that the post house was already in the market, and it was boiling. It's normal to think about it, everyone is thinking like Zhao Min at this time, and they want to find an angel to listen to a little bit in advance, so they can prepare early, so they either send someone to investigate, or go into battle in person in the name of visiting, in short, at this time, they want to see the envoy is already enthusiastic.

Such a scene should have been expected by the two envoys, after all, as a court official, it is also considered to be a battle-experienced, this situation should be common, early in the morning to send people to guard the door, meet people to see, only say that the journey is tiring, not suitable to see guests, so that the people who come eat closed.

Seeing that the angel closed the door to thank the guests, the honest one had to give up. But there are hundreds of kinds of life, there are always a handful of smart people who will not follow the rules, so all kinds of visits to friends in the museum, pretending to be angel relatives and friends, and other dramas are constantly staged.

And Meng Houben is just one of these small group of people. Meng Hou had been standing outside the hall for a long time, but he was not facing the door but facing the comers, and for a while, everyone thought that this person was an angel attendant, and no one paid attention. When he saw someone get by, he was alone anyway, and he slipped into the museum in the crowd without knowing two steps. The visitor thought he was an angel's attendant, and the gatekeeper thought he was on the same path as the visitor, so he was fooled. It wasn't until after entering the museum that he tidied up his clothes and handed over the greeting post. The next situation was as he expected, first, he had already entered the museum, and it was not good for people to bombard him again, and second, the name of the King of the North Sea still had some effect, in short, he finally succeeded in meeting the two angels.

The two angels were originally separated from each other, so Meng Hou was also the two who asked to see each other. The first person I saw was Zhao Duo, the king of Anyi, of course, this solemn and old-fashioned old man couldn't be very enthusiastic, but when he got Meng Hou to convey the greetings from Zhao Min, from his unsmiling old face, Meng Hou still keenly caught a hint of relief. Although the two didn't talk a few words in total, for Meng Hou, the message conveyed was enough. First of all, he was willing to meet him, which means that at least he has no ill will towards Zhao Min; Secondly, from the subtle expression, it can be detected that this Zongzheng Lord is quite satisfied with Zhao Min, a junior. Why satisfied? Of course, it's because he has made actual achievements and given the royal family a face! At the same time, in other words, the content of this message should be inclined to favor Zhao Min. As for the relationship between Zhao Min and this elder, Meng Hou did not know, but this did not affect Meng Hou to make the above judgment, so he resigned after a few polite words.

Next, Meng Hou asked to see Zhong Kui, the left attendant of the ministry. This Zuo Shilang was originally a lazy person, and when he saw Meng Hou, he only intended to mean it, but who knew that Meng Hou was quite clever, and he also gave his tongue, and his views on current affairs were very different from most scholars nowadays, but he had a good appetite for Zhong Kui, so it was just an ordinary visit, but in the end it turned into a big discussion between old friends to praise and disapprove current affairs and discuss the situation. The two of them can be said to be familiar at first sight, and they have a great feeling of seeing each other late, and this hearty conversation came down until the day was getting westward, and when the next person came to remind Zhong Kui to participate in the dinner, the two of them woke up, and they couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to each other, and agreed to get together after they were busy with business, and Meng Hou said goodbye. Therefore, Zhao Min was worried for a long time because of this delay.

Although Zhong Kui and Meng Hou discussed some current affairs, but intentionally or unintentionally, Zhong Kui still revealed some information. From the analysis of this information, I am afraid that the reward for Zhao Min this time is not small.

……

"Sir, do you mean that the reward for this counterinsurgency will grant me the right to open the government?" After Zhao Min listened to Meng Hou's analysis, his mouth was wide enough to swallow a whole egg. It was easy to come back to his senses, and then he asked Meng Hou in disbelief.

Meng Hou twisted his beard and chuckled: "That's exactly what I mean, otherwise Zhong Jungao wouldn't have said the words 'eternal indifference'." ”

"This ...... That's just too ...... It's incredible! ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Min is so out of shape. The so-called opening of the palace is not simply like that, building the palace and finding a few dog-headed military divisions is called the opening of the palace. The real opening of the government refers to the establishment of a set of civil and military systems, and all personnel appointments and dismissals, military transfers, and even tax rates in the jurisdiction given by the imperial court are decided by the government in a word. Moreover, the officials who are divided into their own feudal titles can be completely without the approval of the Ministry of Officials, and even the performance appraisal is not within the jurisdiction of the imperial court. In other words, having the power to open a government is equivalent to setting up a separate ****** in the country, and everything is up to you! As the background of the centralization of monarchy in ancient times, such a ****** independent of the government was a taboo for the kings of all dynasties, so all dynasties would not easily make such a decision.

Although the government has collapsed and it is difficult to pass government decrees, and the assassins and county guards in various localities have also held the military and political power in their own hands, the situation of listening to the investigation and not listening to the propaganda has also occurred from time to time, and this has formed a ****** actual phenomenon in a few areas. But after all, such cases are only a few, and they do not possess the righteousness, so it doesn't make sense in theory, even if the actual princes still respect the orders of the Son of Heaven on the surface. If the imperial court really agreed to open the government by itself, it would be tantamount to promising the right to open a ****** from the level of righteousness, so it is incredible.

In the more than 300-year history of the Xia Dynasty, it is not without precedent to have the right to open the government and discuss matters allowed by the imperial court. First of all, the princes of each dynasty have the right to open the palace, but that is under the nose of the Son of Heaven, at most, they gather a group of staff to come up with ideas, which has a name but no reality, and it is not a real opening of the palace. And the real opening of the government, to date back to the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, because some of the founding fathers for the establishment of the Xia Dynasty made great contributions, and the real merit is rewardable, Xia Taizu Zhao Qi in one breath divided 17 principalities, marquis, so that these founding fathers are all kings. These feudal kings can be regarded as having the real right to open the government, and most of the 'countries' in various places are the products left over from that era. Only three years later, however, nine of the seventeen kings were in revolt. Although the rebellion eventually subsided, it also caused a national shock and left the newly established Xia Dynasty devastated. Xia Taizu was angry and withdrew all the rewarded kings, and made the decision that "no king with a different surname is allowed", and since then there has been no king with a different surname in the Xia Dynasty.

In the history of the Xia Dynasty, there were only two people who did not open the palace as the crown prince in the end. The first is during the Yongde period, the younger brother of Emperor Xiaochun, Zhao Hui, the king of Pingbei, in the face of the Xiongnu battle, brave and decisive, led 20,000 iron cavalry, deep into the territory of the Xiongnu 800 miles, killed the Xiongnu Shan Yu in one fell swoop, and forced the successor Shan Yu to pay tribute to the Great Xia, so that the Great Xia Dynasty was not disturbed by the Xiongnu for nearly a hundred years and made immortal feats, and was able to open the palace of the king, leaving a lifetime of fame.

The other is the famous loyal martyr king Zhao Mi, in the later period of Emperor Xiaozhen, the era of rebellion of the princes of the world, half of the Xia Dynasty fell into the hands of the rebels, but almost with their own strength, even the rebels 13 counties, the princes were terrified, a thousand miles of collapse, to protect the Xia Dynasty Guozuo to continue, can be said to cover the world. However, the martyr died young, shortly after putting out the rebellion. In order to commemorate his immortal achievements, Emperor Xia Heng gave his son Zhao Sui, the king of Anxiang, a mansion to show his merits. It's a pity that this King of Anxiang is a tiger father and a dog, only two years after the opening of the mansion, he planned to stand on his own under the instigation of his subordinates, but unfortunately he was sent before he raised his troops, and finally ended up dead. In the end, it was for the sake of his father's face, and he reluctantly pursued him as the Marquis of Anxiang.

The above two are both figures who have made outstanding contributions to the continuation of the Xia Dynasty. And Zhao Min only extinguished a small local rebellion, and it was not as the main force - of course, almost all of Zhao Min's own credit - would it be too child's fun to compare it with the two sages of the previous generation with this small merit? Therefore, when Zhao Min heard the news now, there was no sense of surprise in his mind at all, but there was more fright.

With such a mood, Zhao Min was still full of lawsuits after sending out Meng Hou, and the whole person was in a trance, and he didn't even know when Shao Qi would come into the house, and he didn't wake up until Shao Qi whispered a few times in his ear.

Zhao Min looked at Shao Qi blankly, and when Shao Qi saw him like this, he had to simply make a general report on the monitoring of Yue Ji and Qingyixuan this day.

It turned out that Yue Ji went out early in the morning, and did not go around to inquire about the news as Zhao Min thought, but went to a pawn shop in the inner city, and did not come out until noon, and then returned to Taiyue Tower to find Shao Qi, saying that he completely accepted Zhao Min's suggestion, and was willing to invest three million yuan in Qingyi Xuan as a stock. Such an approach should be said to be full of sincerity, three million dollars is not a small amount, and after the investment, it does not even care about the specific share, which can be described as full of courage. It's a pity that Zhao Min's mind is not on this at this time, and he only vaguely said that he knew, and motioned Shao Qi to continue.

Shao Qi was ordered to take several good men from Si Wensi to Qingyixuan to wait, and sure enough, at night, there were scoundrels who came to make trouble, but fortunately there were people brought by Shao Qi, and the other party didn't get any bargains, so he retreated. However, in this way, Qingyixuan's business was also greatly affected, and when Shao Qi left, there were only a few guests, which was very different from the usual grand scene, and it was completely different.

Zhao Min frowned when he listened to Shao Qi's story, Qingyixuan couldn't escape the fate of Guan Zhang if he continued to develop according to this situation, this is the sadness of having no backer. This is also the sorrow of all businessmen at this time, businessmen are cheap business, even if your family has hundreds of millions of dollars, as long as you do not have the background of the family, or a tough backstage, in this troubled era is coming, you may lose all your wealth at any time, and even your life is between the thoughts of others. It seems that if you want Qingyixuan to survive and use it for yourself, you still have to fall on yourself in the end.

Thinking about it this way, if he really has the right to open the government, it may not be a good thing for deterring Xiaoxiao and Yu Liwei.

After Shao Qi retreated, Zhao Min sat alone in the house thinking about gains and losses, and for a while he thought of becoming the third prince of the Xia Dynasty. After a while, I thought that after the opening of the mansion, I would become the target of public criticism, and the impeachment recitals came like raindrops, until I couldn't bear the heavy sleep, so I fell asleep in a daze.
