"Ahh The old man is such a sin, and he can forgive it with a single word, and the prince is really humble and vain! There was no joy in Yang Yuanzhi's words, but she seemed to be as calm as death.

But I heard him say again: "The old decay is a person who is about to die, and this is the same thing for those who forgive." It's just that the old son is now an official in Lingnan Province, and his grandson Yang Jin is still ignorant. If His Royal Highness can play a game or two in front of the prince, don't trample on them, then the old man will die and be blind! ”

Qiu Yizhi was sweating on his forehead by Yang Yuanzhi's words, and said: "It's easy to say, what kind of person my father-in-law is, even if he can forgive the old prime minister, he will naturally not embarrass them." ”

"Your Highness's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and the old decay has already been taught. Since His Royal Highness has this sentence, there will be no regrets under the old Nine Springs. Yang Yuanzhi finally showed a relieved expression on her face, and her cloudy eyes flashed with a kind smile, "Your Highness has both ability and political integrity, and when you meet the master, it is the time to make contributions and have an unlimited future." It's a pity that the old man can't see the moment when His Highness is a supreme minister, and I ask His Highness to ......"

Yang Yuanzhi said as she stood up tremblingly in the cabin.

Qiu Yizhi was about to salute himself, and he was just about to reach out to help. Who knew that Yang Yuanzhi fell to the side of the boat, and the whole person was planted in the water, and the small wooden boat lost its balance and suddenly swayed from side to side.

Qiu Yi was impervious to water, and subconsciously grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, for fear that he would also fall into the lake, and he would not be able to go into the water immediately to save people. When the boat stabilized, Yang Yuanzhi, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, had disappeared into the pool of unknown depth.

Qiu Yizhi was already panicked, and hurriedly paddled to the shore, but saw Yang Jin standing alone on a rockery, looking at the ripples in the lake in a daze, his eyes full of confusion and sadness.

Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to look at Yang Jin like this, so he hurriedly hugged Yang Jin with one hand, and flew to the gate of Yang's mansion and rushed away.

The soldiers guarding Yang's Mansion were all surprised when they saw Qiu Yizhi's appearance, and they were about to ask, but they heard Qiu Yizhi order in an unquestionable tone: "This place is closed, and no one is allowed to enter, do you know?" He put Yang Jin down gently and said, "This little boy is my old friend, you take good care of him and serve him carefully, if he is missing a hair, you will lose a head, understand?" ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi didn't wait for the soldier to reply, so he quickly got on the horse and went to find Zheng Rong.

Zheng Rong is paying tribute to the tablet of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty in Taimiao at the moment.

This matter is the most important thing in the world, and it cannot be disturbed even when the sky falls. Qiu Yizhi had to wait outside the Taimiao, and his heart was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

After a long while, Zheng Rong came out of the Taimiao under the protection of countless honor guards and guards. Qiu Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward and told Zheng Rong about Yang Yuanzhi's change.

When Zheng Rong heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "This way of dying can be regarded as his brain...... Anyway, Na Gu fulfilled his last bit of hope, and he no longer dug deep and sat down. You go to Mr. Zhongli and ask him to write in the name of the Ministry of Officials, and spread the word that Yang Yuanzhi's son will go to Beijing for the funeral! With that, Zheng Rong led countless guards and left without looking back.

After such an experience, Qiu Yizhi was not in good spirits for a long time, and Zheng Rong simply controlled the overall situation of the DPRK and China, and there was nothing to do for Qiu Yizhi. Therefore, Qiu Yizhi asked Zheng Rong for a long vacation on the grounds that he was too tired a few days ago, and took Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao and eighteen Yunmeng thieves every day to visit the lakes and mountains near Luoyang, which can be regarded as leisurely.

More than a month passed before I knew it.

During these forty or fifty days, the situation in the Han court continued to develop in favor of Zheng Rong.

First of all, Cui Nan and Wei Hu led the army and occupied various state capitals without hindrance. The officials of the feudal territory only thought that they could keep their lives and official positions in this changing situation, and they had no moral principles in their hearts.

followed by Zheng Rong, the king of Lingnan, Zheng Gui, who was most worried. He originally had the intention of taking advantage of the chaos in the DPRK to fish in troubled waters, although he never thought that he would be able to wait for the opportunity to seize the throne, and he could take advantage of the chaos to seize a few prefectures and counties, and also accumulate some strength to confront the imperial court. But to his surprise, Zheng Rong's rebellion was completed in just a few months, and he didn't have a chance to fish in troubled waters at all. So Zheng Gui discussed with several of his think tanks, and simply put on a persuasion note, persuading Zheng Rong to immediately ascend to the pole and become the emperor, and steadily occupy the first credit. Of course, Zheng Rong knew Zheng Gui's intentions, and he also understood that he had no intention of competing with him in a short period of time, so he also put his mind at ease, and at the same time, he did not forget to deploy the army at the border of Lingnan Province to be prepared.

Then Zheng Miao, together with Zheng Hua, the king of Heluo, kept talking with civil officials at all levels. After several discussions, most of the bureaucrats in the DPRK and China have already expressed their allegiance to Zheng Rong. There were also some bureaucrats who were no longer willing to work for the imperial court, so Zheng Miao arranged for them to retire, and he did not embarrass them. As a result, the mentality of the 100 officials in the DPRK and China has also settled down.

The eldest son, Zheng Xin, was ordered by Zheng Rong to lead the rectification of the affairs of the six ministries. In the battle of rebellion, Zheng Xin was only responsible for the transfer of grain and grass in the rear, although he made a lot of contributions, but he rarely had the opportunity to be in the limelight. Therefore, he had the heart to show his ability in front of his father and the hundred officials, so he mustered up his spirit and took turns to soak in the various ministries and straighten out the affairs of the ministries.

All of a sudden, the officials impeached more than 20 corrupt officials and redundant officials, and the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government were suddenly solemn; The household department cleaned up and re-cleaned the treasury and silver and stored grain, and all the shortfalls in the cleared up places were submitted to demand that they be made up within a time limit; The Criminal Department sent personnel to sit in the prison to investigate the backlog of cases over the years one by one, and all unjust prisons were retried; The Ministry of Industry mobilized craftsmen from near the capital to repair the damaged east wall of Luoyang, rebuild the burned Taixing Hall, and issued a military order to complete the project before Chinese New Year's Eve; As for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Rong also sent Zhong Likuang and Zheng Sen to do things, and Zheng Xin did not forget to ask about it on weekdays. As a result, the central ruling machine of the Han Dynasty, which had been lazy for more than ten years, finally burst out with vitality again and began to operate quickly and methodically.

On the side of the military department, Zheng Rong handed over the main affairs to his third son, Zheng Sen, and invited Dai Luanxiang to take charge. Although Zheng Sen is a little more straightforward, he is also well versed in military affairs, and with the assistance of a famous general like Dai Luanxiang, things are handled more easily. So countless old and weak soldiers were eliminated in the forbidden army, and elite soldiers were re-recruited to fill the vacancies, and the backbone elites of the Youyan army were transferred, and after being promoted, they joined the forbidden army as generals at all levels. So in just over a month, Zheng Rong already had two armies in his hands that were extremely effective and loyal to him.

As for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, it is the top priority that Zheng Rong pays attention to. In the near future, it is necessary to do a good job in the two things of ascending to the Great Hall and Enke, which is a major matter related to buying the hearts and minds of the Han people, and we cannot ignore it. Therefore, Zheng Rong not only asked questions from time to time, but also sent Zhongli Kuang to command.

Zhong Li Kuang was originally an extremely efficient and neat person, but although his lord Zheng Rong had not yet officially ascended to the pole, he was far from being comparable to the original Youyan King, and there were more than ten times more affairs than before-just sorting out and summarizing the pieces sent from all over the country every day, Zhong Li Kuang was already very busy, not to mention taking on these two extremely important tasks.

Fortunately, Zheng Rong temporarily pardoned Shi Liangzhi, who had offended him at the beginning, and asked him to be responsible for the relevant matters of the grand ceremony.

Shi Liangzhi also knew that if he couldn't do this big thing wholeheartedly now, so that some mistakes annoyed Zheng Rong, it would really be a catastrophe. So he relied on the advantages of being in charge of the Ministry of Rites for a long time and being very familiar with various ritual procedures, soaked in the Ministry of Rites day and night, practiced repeatedly, and made up his mind to do this matter seamlessly.

As for the Enke Luncai Ceremony, Zheng Rongnian and the drawbacks of leaking examination questions in the imperial examination in recent years have occurred, so he personally sealed the questions and sent the trusted soldiers in the Youyan army to send 600 li to the provincial government offices; He also asked Zhong Likuang to select honest and reliable people from among his subordinate clerks and assign them to supervise the opening of the book and the evaluation of the questions, so as to prevent the dirty officials below from engaging in favoritism and fraud. In this way, although the newly recruited filial piety in the provinces in a hurry cannot be said to have real talents, there are not many people who are indiscriminate and full of people mixed in.

In addition, Zheng Rong personally issued an edict to immediately seal up the yamen of the Quanshan Division, and all the people and officials arrested by him were released, while the leaders and minions of the Quanshan Division were all imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

All in all, after Zheng Rong's vigorous and resolute rectification in just over a month, the atmosphere of the Han people is solemn, and the people are all grateful; In addition, Zheng Rong's in-laws, Qin Guangyuan, who is also a famous person at home, was widely publicized among the scholars, so that Zheng Rong's fame was rising, far surpassing when he was guarding Youyan Road.

Therefore, all of a sudden, the persuasion of the march was full of chapters and sweat cows, and they were continuously sent to Zheng Rong's case - Zheng Rong's ascension to the pole and the emperor after the year was already a sure thing.

This matter is also extremely supportive in the harem.

It turned out that Emperor Zheng Yong of Daxing was obsessed with cultivation in his later years, and he was not a woman, and several of his concubines did not establish any prestige, and the entire harem still took Zheng Yong's mother as the head of the horse. And the old queen mother, who is over the age of six, is not only Zheng Yong's biological mother, but also Zheng Rong's biological mother - Zheng Yong doesn't need to talk much when he is the emperor, if Zheng Rong is also called the emperor, then the position of the leader of the harem will be more stable - with this layer of interests, she naturally supports Zheng Rong's accession to the throne in every way.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it has reached the cold time of March 9, the Chinese New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and the ceremony is getting closer and closer to Zheng Rong's great ceremony.

In order to make this ceremony grand and decent, Shi Liangzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had already issued a document to the Han Dynasty, such as Korea, Bohai, Japan, Annam, Tubo, Qiuzi, Loulan and other subject countries, to send envoys to Beijing as soon as possible to congratulate them, so as to achieve the atmosphere of all countries coming to court.

The Bohai State was a vassal state used by the Han Dynasty to restrain the Turkic forces, and it had a very close relationship with the original Youyan Palace. Therefore, the Great Khan of the Bohai State, who was also canonized as the King of Zhongshun by the imperial court, although it was inconvenient for him to come to congratulate in person, he also sent his son-in-law, Prince Urdon, and his daughter Yiran County Lord, with extremely rich tribute, all the way to Luoyang with great fanfare.

Prince Ulton is the heir of Dali Khan, this time he came to the Central Plains with a heavy responsibility, as soon as he entered the capital to meet Zheng Rong, he was busy with the big men of the court and the big man every day.

The county lord of Yiran was raised in the Youyan Mansion since he was a child, and the relationship with Qiu Yi was very good, and he had nothing to do after entering Beijing, so he played with Qiu Yi every day.
