The ministers looked at Zhao Xin in surprise, they didn't know what Zhao Xin had done again, and the handle fell into the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Xin didn't know what he had done, he had been honestly recuperating at home recently, that was the door was not out of the door, that is, when Wang Jingyao wanted to rebel before, he sent someone to contact him, he didn't care, it was a real Buddhist health, and his Ministry of Rites has always been Qingshui Yamen, and no one asked him for gifts, he couldn't figure out what he had done in Wang Mang, but no matter what he had done, it was absolutely right to ask for the guilt first.

Wang Mang looked coldly at where Zhao Xin was wailing that he had been wronged, and couldn't help but say, "Where are you wronged?"

Zhao Xin was stunned, how did he know where he was wronged, he didn't do anything, and he was waiting for Wang Mang to attack first and then he was shouting injustice, and now Wang Mang directly asked him where he was wronged, Zhao Xin was speechless.

Wang Mang couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "Don't have anything to say, no matter what you encounter in advance, when did you learn this stinky problem, you clearly feel that you didn't do anything, what are you shouting wronged?"

"Minister......" Zhao Xin was speechless to refute, so he had to kneel on the ground and not speak.

Wang Mang said: "Zhao Xin, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the responsibility of diplomacy is in your Ministry of Rites, right?"

"Yes. Zhao Xin said in a low voice.

"Then I question, now that Han and Zhao have declared war on our Great Qin, and the coalition army of 1.3 million has brazenly invaded our Qin State, what have you done?" Wang Mang said,

Zhao Xin's expression was suddenly full of panic, and he directly kowtowed: "The minister will go back to the country to severely condemn the behavior of Han and Zhao, and at the same time make solemn representations to Han and Zhao to urge the two countries to strike their troops." ”

"Is that all?" Wang Mang said.

Zhao Xin came down in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "The minister can't think of anything else for a while, this diplomatic matter was originally in charge of Taichang Temple, and my Ministry of Rites is only responsible for part of it, although the functions of Taichang Temple have been merged, but ......"

Zhao Xin suddenly saw Chu Feng on the side, and hurriedly pointed at Chu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Feng was originally Taichang Siqing, and he must have an opinion on this." ”

Chu Feng glared at Zhao Xin fiercely, and said, "I am now the director of the law enforcement bureau, and you, the secretary of the ministry, are the Taichang Siqing, Lord Zhao, this matter mainly has to be decided by the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhao Xin knew that Chu Feng was dissatisfied with him, he also knew about it, and empathized, if his Ministry of Rites let Taichang Temple eat it, his face would not be much better for Chu Feng.

It's just that at this time, it's really not good to get involved in the entanglement between the Ministry of Rites and the Taichang Temple, Zhao Xin said: "Lord Chu, after all, you are the former Taichang Temple Qing, and you are an expert in diplomacy, if you really have any thoughts about this, you can completely say it, this is also good for Your Majesty and Great Qin." ”

Bastard!

Chu Feng scolded secretly in his heart, this damn Chu Feng actually set himself up at such a time, if he didn't express his position at this moment, he would be disloyal to the Son of Heaven and Great Qin.

Glaring at Zhao Xin fiercely again, Chu Feng said respectfully to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can first arrest all the merchants and unknown origins of Han and Zhao in the Qin State, this is also the habit of the nations to fight, mainly to prevent the enemy from fanning the flames behind the back, causing chaos in the rear." ”

"What else?" said Wang Mang.

"Send a letter to the Continental Alliance, asking the Continental Alliance to be fair. Chu Feng said again: "I, the Qin State and the Han and Zhao countries, are both important components of the Continental Alliance, and the emergence of the Continental Alliance is to create a place for the countries to negotiate, and now the Qin State and the Han and Zhao are about to start a big war, and the Continental Alliance, which takes maintaining peace on the mainland as its own responsibility, should stop it." ”

"But since Han and Zhao dared to send troops, it means that this matter was tacitly approved by the Continental Alliance. Zhao Xin said.

"Acquiescence rather than explicit consent. Chu Feng said: "We must distinguish the nature of this, if we write the Continental Alliance, the Continental Alliance does not care, then in the future, my Qin State will destroy Han and Zhao, and the Continental Alliance will not be able to say a word." ”

All the ministers in the court are old foxes, and after Chu Feng's reminder, everyone suddenly found that if the Continental Alliance doesn't care about this matter today, then no matter what happens to Daqin in the future, the Continental Alliance will have no room to interfere, and if it can bypass the Continental Alliance, then how much will there be in it.

But everything has to be put on the back burner for the time being, and now we still have to make the current battle a good one.

However, the Ministry of Rites will do so. Wang Mang nodded, looked at Zhao Xin again, and said, "As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I have to learn the business of my yamen." ”

"I understand. Zhao Xin nodded with a frightened face, but he was not at all grateful to Chu Feng in his heart, he only felt that Chu Feng was too big in the limelight today, and even brought a lot of threats to himself, he couldn't let this candidate for the Ministry of Rites really kick him out and sit in the position of the Ministry of Rites.

Wang Mang didn't bother to care what Zhao Xin thought, looked around at the ministers and said: "In the battle of Hangu Pass, I still plan to drive the ...... in person."

"Your Majesty, no!"

"This matter is very impossible, Your Majesty is the son of heaven of my Qin State, and his status is noble, how can he go to Hangu Pass. ”

"As Your Majesty, you must not go, besides, Nahangu Pass is prone to a million battles, Your Majesty will go to your land of tigers and wolves, it is really dangerous, it is most appropriate to stay in Chang'an. ”

"There are General Wang Jian on the front line, Lord Wang Yongji is in charge, and there are generals such as Wang Yi and Li Guang who fought bloody battles, although the Han and Zhao coalition forces are powerful, there are several generals here, and they will definitely not be able to break through Hangu Pass, and Your Majesty does not need to go to Hangu Pass to risk at all. ”

As soon as Wang Mang's voice fell, before he finished speaking, there were countless ministers in the entire hall who directly stopped him loudly, and now although the ministers in the court have been changed several times, they are generally mainly conservatives, they like the Son of Heaven to rule the arch the most, and they don't like the Son of Heaven to ask about everything, and they don't like the Son of Heaven to parade around the four directions to get out of their eyes.

Where would Wang Mang take care of these ministers, snorted coldly, and Li Lan shouted violently: "Silence!"

Li Lan was infused with Wang Mang's elixir, and now his cultivation has faintly broken through the golden pill, and his cultivation is quite good, he shouted loudly and calmed down the hall that was full of discussions, many of the ministers were cultivated, they looked at Li Lan with a shocked face, and they couldn't understand when Li Lan, the chief eunuch, had such a cultivation, I am afraid that it was put aside hundreds of years ago, and the chief eunuch in the Qin Palace did not have such cultivation.

Li Hong was very satisfied with the effect of his loud shout, and bowed slightly towards Wang Mang, Wang Mang looked at the ministers and said, "When did I say that I would discuss this matter with you?"

The ministers were speechless for a moment, the Son of Heaven really didn't discuss, he just told them, but the Son of Heaven was always running around, this kind of thing was simply unheard of, didn't it just make people laugh at Qin Guo for not understanding the way of kings?

Wang Mang said lightly: "The matter of my imperial conquest of Hangu Pass has been decided, and the 500,000 troops that have been gathered near the imperial court will go to Hangu Pass with me, ministers, I know what you are thinking, I guess some people are still thinking that I don't understand the rules, right?"

"The ministers don't dare. The ministers said.

"Don't dare?" Wang Mang snorted coldly and said: "Why don't you dare, you are very bold, scholars and kings rule the world together, many of you have this idea in your hearts? Don't think that I don't know anything if I'm not in Chang'an, tell you and others, it's not that I don't know, and I don't care, it's just that now is the time when my Great Qin is in danger, and I'm too lazy to care about you." ”

"The ministers don't dare, and the ministers thank the lord Longen. All the ministers kowtowed and pleaded guilty, and they all said that they had no two hearts, and they were absolutely loyal to the Son of Heaven, and some ministers even swore to the sky that they only listened to Wang Mang alone, as long as Wang Mang gave an order, even if he had no power to restrain the chicken, he would go to the battlefield and fight to the death with the enemy.

For such an enthusiastic minister, Wang Mang waved his hand, and the poor head of the household was temporarily conscripted into the army and will go to Hangu Pass with the army.

"I have already told the Queen Mother that when I left Chang'an City and went to Hangu Pass, the affairs of the court and China were reported to the Shangyuan Palace, and the Queen Mother was in charge. Wang Mang looked at Lu Bowen again and said, "Lu Bowen, after I leave, you are responsible for copying the affairs of the DPRK and China to the front line of Hangu Pass to me, and at the same time, I will also hand over the matter of contacting the Yuan Palace to you." ”

"The minister commanded. Lu Bowen wanted to excuse himself, after all, the queen mother of Shangyuan Palace was very difficult to mess with, but thinking of the fate of the head of the household department, he wisely accepted the affairs arranged by Wang Mang.

"All other affairs have been arranged beforehand, and the following ministers are on my expedition with me. Wang Mang then read the names of the eldest grandson Wuji and others, and finally said: "Everyone has affairs, this matter will be resolved together, if there are no other affairs, I will lead the army to leave Chang'an." ”

The ministers still look at me, I look at you, even though they have a thousand words to say to Wang Mang, but Wang Mang is about to leave Chang'an, and their minds have no need to plan.

The ministers left the hall with heavy thoughts, they now faintly understand that the current Son of Heaven likes to fight on the battlefield, or that today's Qin State is suddenly full of enemies in all directions, and there are wars everywhere, which is very different from the Qin State they knew before, and they only know how to dance and write ink They seem to be completely unable to keep up with the thinking of the Son of Heaven, and they even feel that if it weren't for the fact that the Son of Heaven couldn't find someone to replace them for a while, most of them now estimated that most of them would have to go back to their hometowns like Zhang Jian.

Li Hong dealt with a wave of people who asked him for money with a bitter face, everyone knew that the household department had a lot of money now, and they all knew that the money that the household department had would soon be gone, so everyone who had a relationship with the project came to Li Hong to ask for money, and Li Hong, the head of the household department, seemed to be in debt.

"My lord, if you follow this method, the silver in the treasury will soon be gone. Deng Tong, the left attendant of the household department who was on Li Hong's side, finally couldn't help but speak.

Fan Li, the right attendant of the household department, sneered: "They are all ministers of the court, and they have been officials in the court for many years, and one or two of them are like never seeing money, and they come over when they smell fishy. ”

"Under the banner of loyalty to the imperial court, who can you give the money to?" Li Hong smiled bitterly and said to the left and right: "Speaking of which, this official has involved two people in a row, if it weren't for the fact that this official made a lot of mistakes back then, and had a bad impression on His Majesty, I wouldn't have made my dignified household so passive." ”

Fan Li glanced around, and suddenly said in a low voice: "My lord, with all due respect, the lower official thinks that His Majesty is a big person, otherwise Your Excellency An can still be in the post of the head of the household department?"

Li Hong was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't there no one who can replace me for the time being?"

Speaking of this, Li Hong looked stunned, looked left and right, and suddenly said: "It's the official who is confused, you two are both financially talented, how can you not replace me? Let's go, let's go back to the yamen to discuss and calculate how the silver should be distributed." ”

Li Hong suddenly figured it out, he had been sincerely afraid that Wang Mang would dismiss him was completely mediocre and self-disturbing, his current two deputies Deng Tong and Fan Li are well-known financial experts in the world, and anyone can replace him as the head of the household department, but until now he has made repeated mistakes but has been fine, indicating that the holy favor of the Son of Heaven is still there, and Li Hong, who wants to understand, immediately restored the shelf of the household department of the household book, and returned to the household department with two powerful deputies with the shelf.

Different from Li Hong's sudden understanding, Yu Wenkai with a group of officials of the Ministry of Industry is really sad, for many years the Ministry of Industry has been underfunded, there are very few skilled craftsmen in the ministry, and now it is repairing canals and straights and houses, almost all the craftsmen in the entire Ministry of Industry are recruited, and only a few craftsmen are unable to work for various reasons, and now the Son of Heaven has decreed that the Ministry of Industry can repair the straight road to Hangu Pass, and Yuwen Kai can't think of a way to break his head.

"Guys, do you have a way?" Yu Wenkai begged for his subordinates.

However, most of the officials of the Ministry of Industry have a head, and few have flexible brains, so let them design some exquisite things they are good at, but let them think of a way, then there is really no way.

Not to mention Yu Wenkai's sad face, Wang Yongji was the only one who left happily, he first went back to the military department to write a letter to Zhuge Yu, so that people could quickly pass it to Zhuge Yu at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles, and inform Zhuge Yu to immediately return to the court to coordinate the affairs of the military department as the left attendant of the military department, and then ran home to take out the armor that had been kept from the cabinet, and took the tools to maintain it with his own hands with bright eyes.

Zhao Xin, who returned to the Ministry of Rites, almost didn't tell all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to return to their hometowns, a group of old men from the Ministry of Rites are usually stable, but at the moment they are looking at Zhao Xin with an embarrassed face, they are also a little wronged, they are also looking at Zhao Xin every day, so they are comfortable and comfortable, who knows why the minds of Han and Zhao can't think of suddenly starting a war against the Qin State? And the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of foreign affairs, has done nothing in this matter, and it is really every wronged from top to bottom.

Zhao Xin finally got tired, and waved his hand: "Hurry up and do things, do you want the official to stare at you and teach you how to do things?"

A group of officials of the Ministry of Rites suddenly held their hats and scattered, looking at the scattered officials, Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh, he wanted to learn from the saint to rule by doing nothing, but unfortunately how could this group of fools leave themselves and be such a waste?
