In the East Palace, Sima Shu, who had already gotten up in the third watch, got dressed under the service of the crown princess, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and Sima Shu left the East Palace fully armed. Although it is not the first time that Sima Shu has been to the court, this time is different, he will lose Zhang Hua's escort for the first time at today's court, and many people are watching his performance!

Sima Shu walked on the road, breathing in the fresh air, and walked towards the palace under the protection of the guards. Since Zhang Hua became seriously ill, Sima Shu has been busy all of a sudden, and many problems need him to take ideas. Zhang Bin was in charge of the cabinet for the first time, and for the time being, Sima Shu was needed to support him.

"Little Dengzi, is there any news lately?"

Sima Shu asked Xiao Deng Zi beside him as he walked, since Manager Liu was in charge of the royal private business, Xiao Deng Zi had become the head of the prince's inner chamberlain, but this guy was still cautious. He knew that the crown prince liked to listen to anecdotes from the people, so he asked people about things outside the palace as soon as he had nothing to do, and then passed them on to the prince.

As soon as he heard the prince's question, he immediately replied: "Your Royal Highness, the hottest issue in Luoyang City recently should be the urban renovation plan that the imperial court is launching. Everyone is praising the prince's wisdom! ”

"Oh? Is it? Sima Shu was noncommittal, but he had long expected that the urban transformation plan of the capital would be the first policy to benefit the people launched by Zhang Bin after taking office.

Nowadays, all parts of the Central Plains are full of lively construction sites, even Luoyang is no exception, after the end of the war, Sima Shu is ready to transform the capital.

The first to be renovated was the West District, a gathering area for ordinary people, which was built by tens of thousands of people. Raw materials are constantly being shipped to Luoyang City, and these raw materials are basically some boulders, cement, wood and so on. And other common things are not difficult to collect, from the previous house to pick up the can be used, can be used, can not be used directly out of the city to throw away.

When building new houses, the food and wages of these people were all borne by the imperial court, and because they were building houses for themselves, these people who participated in the project worked very hard and were particularly serious when building houses.

And because of the large use of cement products, so that the newly built houses have a certain fire and earthquake prevention function, Sima Shu believes that after such a transformation, Luoyang City does not want to be destroyed by a fire again. The completed house Sima Shu saw. It's all red brick bungalows. A large expanse of houses looks spectacular.

If the houses in all the residential areas are completed, the living standards of the ordinary people in Luoyang City will be greatly improved, and many people will be blushing when they see such houses. The place where I used to live is like heaven and earth compared to this. These people were happy. In his heart, the height of the prince naturally increased a lot.

Since the crown prince has been in charge of the country. Let them, the low-level people, see a lot of hope, first the construction of various factories, so that some of the people who work in them earn some money. Most importantly. The crown prince forcibly stripped the land from the family, then distributed it to the common people, and now built houses for them, and the image of the prince is growing in their hearts step by step.

In addition to the renovation of ordinary residential areas, the high-ranking households in Luoyang City are also being renovated. It's just that the renovation of these people is much more complicated than that of the West End, and if those bungalows have a fatal attraction to the common people, then the families don't like it at all. For these big families who are used to carving beams and jade buildings, they will not be so discerning.

In order to satisfy the vanity of the family, and at the same time to highlight the prosperity of the Beijing Division, Sima Shu still personally painted a number of mansion samples of later generations, which were designed to accommodate those high-ranking families. However, compared with the free treatment enjoyed by the common people, the families, officials, and nobles had to pay a large sum of money if they wanted to obtain a mansion.

But even so, families and officials are still eager for this, and they have paid a lot of money to order luxury houses.

After the construction of some of the settlements was completed, most of the people in the gathering area moved over, including the displaced people who had been displaced to Luoyang, and they were also allocated houses. According to the budget, once the renovation project of the western district is completed, even if all the locals in Luoyang live in new houses, there will still be a lot left, and these houses above the name are the imperial court's, and if anyone wants to settle here in the future, they will have to buy houses from the imperial court.

In addition to the residential area, there are also commercial areas, entertainment areas, school areas, etc., once the entire renovation project is completed, the appearance of Luoyang will be completely new.

Compared with residential areas, the construction of other districts is much slower, for example, the commercial area has been the slowest progress among several districts due to the different requirements of different businesses.

The East Palace is still far away from the Taiji Palace, and the crown prince Sima Shu must also leave early, otherwise it will be a joke to be late! Listening to Xiao Dengzi's introduction to some rural anecdotes along the way, while the sound of wheels rolling around, the prince's carriage soon arrived at the door of the Taiji Palace.

Since Sima Shu was not yet the ruler of the empire, he could only enter through the side door, under the imperial stairs, above the ministers, and there was a seat on the left, so he walked to the one on the left and sat down. This ranked crown prince Sima Shu has been sitting for several years, and the courtiers are not surprised.

As soon as Sima Shu sat down, Xiao Dengzi stood on the steps, and waited until all the ministers were quiet before he screamed, "The prince has arrived!" ”

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

After Sima Shu sat down, he raised his sleeves, "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

"The pilgrimage begins!"

Next is the time for the cabinet, the Shangshu Province and the Lord Shilang to perform, the state affairs that have happened in recent days, need to be discussed at the court meeting, no matter how big or small, all reported one by one, and then the prince discussed with the ministers, discussed solutions, and waited until he was busy with a bunch of trivial matters, and finally ushered in the first major event of the day!

Yang Xuanzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the class and said, "Prince Qi, now there is Murong Diao, the leader of Xianbei in Liaodong, who admires the prestige of my Central Plains power, and is willing to return to my dynasty, this person is now waiting for the decree outside the palace!" ”

"Xuan"

"Xuanliaodong Xianbei leader Murong Diao went to the palace to meet you!"

With the sound of the messenger's order, it reached the square outside the Taiji Palace, and Murong Diao, who had been waiting for a long time, was led by the eunuch who led the way, and felt the eyes of many ministers with good intentions or malicious intentions enter the center of the Taiji Palace. Since returning to the Jin Dynasty ten years ago, this is the second time Murong Diao has come to Luoyang.

After the Great War in the Central Plains, the results of the Great War soon spread to Liaodong, and as one of the many forces in Liaodong, Murong Diao saw the strength of the imperial court. Especially with such an excellent helmsman as Sima Shu, the Great Jin Kingdom seems to have hope for revival again, and now that Murong Xianbei is being attacked on both sides of Liaodong, he desperately hopes to get support from the Great Jin.

When Murong Diao was about twenty steps away from the crown prince, he bent down and knelt down and made a big salute, "The foreign minister Liaodong Xianbei Murong Diao pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Let's get flat!"

Sima Shu still admires this Murong Diao, and his experience is completely a legendary novel. Since he was a child, he was outlawed, and later seized power with the help of his retainers, and then led the entire Murong tribe to rise, which can be described as a generation of heroes.

Although he did not believe that Murong Diao was sincere in submitting to the imperial court, Sima Shu temporarily needed the Murong tribe to contain the Duan clan, the Yuwen two tribes, and Goguryeo in Liaodong, so he could only ignore the other party's wolf ambitions for the time being and adopt the strategy of defeating the emperor with razing. The reason for this is nothing more than that the imperial court is still weak at the moment, and it has no strength to meddle in Liaodong at all.

"Your Highness Qizuo, since the first emperor allowed the Murong tribe to be attached, our department has all been proud of this. However, the Yuwen tribe of Liaodong colluded with Goguryeo and repeatedly invaded our department, causing great losses to our department year after year. His Royal Highness Wanwang looked at the minister's previous deferential and polite face, and saved the Murong tribe. Saying that, Murong Diao actually fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

Watching Murong Diao's performance, Sima Shu almost laughed, but fortunately he remembered that this was a court meeting, so that he did not commit the crime of dereliction. In Sima Shu's memory, this Murong Diao seems to have never openly rebelled against the Jin Dynasty after he joined the Jin Dynasty, even after Sima Rui crossed to the south, he also accepted the canonization of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but after he died, his son saw that the Central Plains was full of flames, and then he gave birth to the ambition of chasing the world!

And this Murong Diao is very good at pretending to be a grandson, Sima Shu doesn't believe the other party's nonsense. Perhaps Liaodong is really as he said, the Yuwen tribe is uniting Goguryeo to attack the Murong tribe, but the situation is by no means as grim as the other party said. Besides, he, Murong Diao, is an ally of the Duan clan's Xianbei.

"Leader Murong, I heard that you are the son-in-law of the Duan clan's Xianbei, don't you be afraid that the Duan clan will be dissatisfied if you come to offer your favor to the court like this?" Sima Shu opened his mouth and asked a very sharp question.

"This ......" Murong Diao didn't expect the prince to know so much about him, and he didn't react for a while, but fortunately he was not a simple person, and replied with a deep sigh: "Your Highness Qiqi, although the minister is the son-in-law of the Duan clan, he is also the leader of the Murong tribe!" Whenever the minister is concerned, the interests of the tribe will be the first priority! ”

"Besides, the Duan clan is a rebel and a thief, and it is very unwise to try to fight against the million-strong army of the Celestial Empire with a force! Although the ministers are few and outnumbered, they are not willing to be dispatched by the Duan clan to fight against the imperial court, please rest assured, if the imperial court plans to sweep Liaodong in the future, the ministers are willing to lead the tribal cavalry to act as the vanguard! ”

Before coming this time, Murong Diao had already seen clearly, Duan's Xianbei was finished, and since the defeat in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Duan's Xianbei's future was doomed. How could a prince who even dared to kill his own uncle with his own hands easily let go of the Duan Xianbei who had helped the abuse.

As long as the prince frees his hand, the imperial army will sweep through Youzhou sooner or later, and the main purpose of Murong Diao's visit this time is to show loyalty to the imperial court, and the future of the province will be eradicated by the imperial court as a party of the Duan family!

Although Sima Shu didn't believe Murong Diao's nonsense, he was still forced to accept the other party due to the situation, but he didn't let the other party feel better. After the court meeting, Sima Shu asked the secret disk of the Intelligence Agency to start spreading the news of the Murong tribe's submission to the imperial court in Liaodong, so as to divide the alliance between the Duan clan and Murong.
