After the six-night shift was half frightened and half excited to leave the guest room! Inside, Xiao Mo and Lag Ding continued the previous topic. 【】

"I didn't expect to come here from Shangyuan City. In just two days. The climate has changed so much. ”

Xiao Mo was wearing the white fox robe given by Emperor Chu Ling a few days ago, holding a small brass willow hollow kettle in both hands, his voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed softly while smiling bitterly at Wang Han.

Since Xiao Mo finished dealing with post-war affairs and left Shangyuan City with Wang Han, he has been suffering from a low-grade fever, and for a while he seemed to have returned to the time when he was young and weak, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

Wang Han nodded and said with concern: "Zirou should pay more attention to your body, if there is anything wrong with your body." Not only is it the loss of my Da Chu, but after returning to Beijing, His Majesty will not be able to spare the old man

As he spoke, Wang Han stretched out his hands to the brazier. While roasting the fire, he said: "But this period of time has indeed cooled down a lot, just a few days." The ground was already starting to freeze. Looking at this day, I am afraid that the second snow of the year is about to fall

Xiao Mo nodded and sighed, "This year's drought is ah." It's the middle of January, and the second snow has just begun, and the temperature has cooled much later than in previous years. Ahem, nearly half of the north has been hit by war this year, and more than half of the grain has not been harvested in time. There is no place to be warn. I'm afraid that next year will not be able to harvest due to lack of snowfall, and the court is still troubled. ”

After a pause, Xiao Mo's eyes flashed thoughtfully, and he said slowly: "Speaking of which, sometimes the lower officials even think about it. This time we are fighting with the tribes of the grassland, or it may be the will of heaven, but if there is more snow and rain this year, there will be no drought in the grassland, and it will never invade Chu this year. If the cold snap comes as usual. I'm afraid that the grassland barbarian has the heart to commit a crime. I would never make such a big move, but the result was just that

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo shook his head with a wry smile again, and said, "It's that Xia Guan thinks too much."

Where Wang Chan said with a smile: "Zirou, you always care about state affairs, and you can cool down from a mere one." can think of such a wide range of things, the old man only feels admiration, if Zirou thinks too much, I hope that all the officials in the world can think about it more

Speaking of this, Wang Han seemed to have just remembered something, but he took out a fold from his arms, handed it to Xiao Mo, and said: "Originally, Zirou was unwell, and she shouldn't bother Zirou at this time, but this request for merit will be submitted to Your Majesty after returning to the court. ”

After returning to the dynasty this time, there are two copies of the merit to be presented to Emperor Chu Ling, one is written by Xiao Mo, who is in charge of the war, mainly talking about the heroes of the battle of Shangyuan City, and the other is written by Wang Han, who is in charge of the peace talks, mainly talking about the merits of the officials at the time of the peace talks.

Originally, it was just peace talks. Wang Han's excerpt is not a merit excerpt, but according to the convention, meritorious officials still have to be rewarded, and considering the great impact of this peace talks, Wang Han's excerpt is no different from asking for merit.

On the other side, Xiao Mo took the fold handed by Wang Han and said, "Your Excellency is polite."

Although he was so polite, he also knew that this was Wang Han's show of favor to himself, just like he showed favor to Liu Xingzhi, Liu Mian and others, but he was not hypocritical, and directly opened it to check, but saw that Wang Han praised Xiao Mo quite a lot in the excerpt. Meritorious deeds shown in words. Compared with Wang Han himself, it is only inferior. Looking at Wang Han's complaint, it means that if there is no Xiao Mo in this peace talks, it will not succeed at all.

Although this is true. But it also shows Wang Han's determination to win over Xiao Mo.

Red... ten thousand

In addition, during the peace talks, the cronies and ministers who accompanied Wang Han also had their own merits and hard work. Even some officials of the six departments of Wang Han's faction who were far away in the capital even mentioned it in their memoranda, saying that they were using the situation of letters to make plans and strategies, and they were all actions to compete for merit and reward, and to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their power and win the hearts of the people, so they did not mention it.

"Your Excellency boasted too much to your subordinates

After Xiao Mo read the excerpt, he returned it to Wang Han's hand, coughing lightly and said.

"Where, the old man just told the truth, Wang Han said with a smile, his expression was easy-going and kind, where is the majesty of the past? It was more like Xiao Mo's own close to the old man, seeing Xiao Mo coughing lightly, he even poured a cup of tea for Xiao Mo with his own hands, and said with concern: "Hey, there have been several famous doctors in this Xuanwei City." It's a pity that this place is too close to the capital, and after those doctors become a little famous, they will move to the capital to open a museum, so that now the people who can see Zirou are some mediocre doctors, or the old man will immediately send a fast horse to send Zirou's disease information to the capital, so that His Majesty will send the imperial doctor here to see Zirou?

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Thank you, sir." But don't bother, it's just a minor illness, why bother Your Majesty? Anyway, I'm going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow. It's not too late to cure. What's more, such a disease can also be cured by the doctors of Xuanwei City

Wang Han's face flashed with dissatisfaction. said: "Zirou, if you want me to say, your temperament is too easy-going. Hey, the speed of the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng is too slow, and they can't meet us until tomorrow, otherwise why would we stay here? ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said: "But you can't blame the Eighth Prince and Zijia, they still have to monitor the grassland coalition army before they can leave after returning to the north of the Great Wall, and their post-war affairs there are no less than ours." As far as I know, they're getting to the ground these days

After a pause, Xiao Mo continued: "What's more, it will take time to prepare in the capital

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Wang Han nodded and didn't say anything more.

It turned out that the reason why Xiao Mo and Wang Han stayed at this eighty-mile pavilion was to wait for the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng to meet at noon! Later, he came with Ren Er, but it was because the day before yesterday, after Emperor Chu Ling learned that Xiao Mo and the others had left Shangyuan City and were returning to the capital, he decided to go out of Beijing for ten miles and personally greet a group of heroes.

Emperor Chu Ling was originally well-intentioned, but he accidentally did something bad.

The emperor's departure from Beijing is a major event, and the ten-mile road outside the city needs to be repaired, and the loess paving is needed. The post station ten miles outside the capital needs to be renovated, and the Praetorian Guards need to scout around to ensure the safety of His Majesty, even Emperor Chu Ling himself. According to the rules, you also need to worship the heavens and tell your ancestors, and so on and so forth

As a result, there are a lot of things. It can't be done in a day or two, so I can only send someone to leave Beijing quickly, stop Xiao Mo and Wang Han, who were originally going to return to Beijing first, and let them stay at the Eighty Mile Pavilion for the time being, and meet with the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng first, and wait for everything to be prepared in Beijing. Then go to Beijing.

Such a thing, put into the future generations, can be described as a strange talk, but in the Chu Dynasty, everyone took it for granted.

It is estimated that Emperor Chu Ling, who has never left Beijing, also regretted it a little after learning that he was only ten miles out of Beijing, and there was so much trouble, but Chrysostom said that he could not repent, but he could only let the hundred officials toss.

Gossip aside. On the other side, after talking about some gossip with Wang Han, Xiao Mo also received an excerpt and a list from Deng Shangquan. Changed hands and served it in front of Wang Han, and said with a smile: "This is a request for merit written by the lower officials, but the lower officials are shallow and inexperienced. But it needs the guidance of the Privy Councillor

The exploits of this battle with the steppe coalition forces. It was roughly the officials of the Shangyuan City family who had already taken refuge in Xiao Mo, the officials of Zhang Qian's family who followed Zhang Yansheng, and the officials of the Eight Sages King faction who followed the Eight Sages King to divide up the clean, as for Wang Han. Except for Cai Danai, the defense envoy of Shangyuan City, who is a distant relative of Wang Han, he has always been Wang Han's faction. Wang Han couldn't take advantage of anything else.

And that Cai Danai is one of the civil and military officials in Shangyuan City. The only high-ranking official who did not take refuge in Xiao Mo, Wang Han didn't want to recall him back to Beijing, but Zhang Qian was watching from the side. The two are related, but it is not good to make a move. But he didn't expect that after winning the battle of Shangyuan City, Cai Da, as the head of the generals of Shangyuan City, made outstanding achievements, even if Xiao Mo had the intention to hide it. There is no way.

So. Wang Si already knew how much benefit he could get this time, although he nodded with a smile and took the fold handed by Xiao Mo, but he didn't care too much.

However, Xiao Mo's next sentence made Wang Han surprised and delighted.

I only heard Xiao Mo cough lightly while pointing to the list with many outlines on the fold. said: "In addition, this list is the defeated generals of my Great Chu and the officials who lost their land when the Eighth Prince and Zhang Yansheng were fighting behind enemy lines. Although these people were responsible for the defeat and loss of land, when they fought with the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng later, they also did their best, and they could be regarded as atonement for their crimes. And these days, the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng have also sent many letters, asking for credit for these people, but the words are vague, only a few are mentioned, but the lower officials dare not be careless, just afraid that the merits of any official will be accidentally omitted.

Your Excellency, Your Majesty, has been in charge of my Great Chu military aircraft all these years. Presumably, I know a lot about these officials, and I would like to ask you to see which of these officials' mental abilities can be reused, and they will make a difference in those days

After a pause, Xiao Mo said again: "The names outlined in this list are the officials for whom the Eight Sages King and Zhang Yansheng have asked for credit these days

The meaning of Xiao Mo's words is very clear, this is to ask Wang Han to pick out the officials of his department in the list and help get rid of the crime.

Wang Han understood that the captured officials who Xiao Mo had exchanged grain and grass for the Prairie Coalition Army before, as well as the officials on this list. In the excerpts, most of them will not talk as much about the main personnel as Liu Xingzhi and Cai Da, at most they will only mention their names at the end of the excerpts.

However. Even the mere mention of names in the recital is enough to remove these officials from being dismissed and elected to the people. and even the fate of conviction of the house. The metropolis will atone the merits for the sins, and let them wear the sins and make meritorious contributions. Demotion and retention.

For these officials, this is a great joy.

Wang Han carefully looked at the list in his hand, but saw that the names outlined in it were indeed most of the officials of Zhang Qian and the Eight Sages King's faction, but there was not a single official in his own line. couldn't help but snort lightly, then nodded to Xiao Mo and smiled: "I see, Zirou is really thoughtful." Then the old man is welcome

Looking at Wang Han's more and more cordial demeanor, Xiao Mo felt. This is probably the so-called officialdom, this is probably the so-called big sedan chair that everyone carries, right?

Thinking about what he has done these days, Xiao Mo found that he was becoming more and more like an old politician.

And this kind of change, but I don't know whether it is happy or sad, good or bad""""""

Bi: Yes. Today's fourth shift, there will be another one soon.
