More than 20 days have passed, the people of Nanzhou have returned to their homes, and the drought has passed. The entire Nanzhou is now in the midst of the happiness of the rest of the catastrophe.

In addition to Shengjing, Gu Yongshan's motorcade also arrived at the gate of Shengjing.

Li Wuyang rushed to Shengjing as early as three days ago. He had to arrange the work of welcoming Gu Yongshan.

The civil and military officials stood under the Shengjing Gate, quietly waiting for Gu Yongshan's return.

The convoy came over little by little, and Wei Changfeng rode Yunlong at the front of the convoy.

Li Wuyang: "Praetorian Guard, play music." ”

"Woo, woo, woo." A huge horn was heard, and a very loud horn sounded out.

This is the horn music that only appears in large-scale celebrations, and now what Gu Yongshan has done has gone beyond large-scale celebrations, and it is perfect to use this sound.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Yongshan also heard the impassioned sound of the horn, which can ignite the excitement in the hearts of human beings.

The convoy walked to the gate of Seikyo and stopped.

Shengjing is 23 zhang high and 5 zhang wide, and there is an exit from the southeast, northwest and northwest. Each exit has 6 doors, which are the paths taken by different industries.

Gu Yongshan stepped out of the carriage. Sun Wuyan followed behind Gu Yongshan.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, plus a large number of Praetorian Guards, knelt down together: "Join Your Majesty and welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing." ”

Gu Yongshan: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's be even." ”

Civil and military officials: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

After the civil and military officials stood up, Gu Yongshan: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have learned a lot when I go to Nanzhou. What I learned in the court is more profound than usual. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty can learn new things, it is the blessing of my Shengwu Dynasty." ”

Prime Minister: "Your Majesty, folk things are not necessarily good things. Your Majesty should focus on the court. ”

Gu Yongshan smiled: "What the prime minister said is that I really need to care about the court. ”

The prime minister was stunned, he didn't know the emperor in front of him. Obviously, he is still the original emperor, but after he said this, the prime minister felt empty.

Prime Minister: "Oh, yes. Your Majesty should indeed do so. ”

Gu Yongshan: "I just came back from Nanzhou today, and I don't talk about government affairs. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go back first. ”

Civil and military officials: "Your Majesty, the ministers are retiring." ”

The emperor ordered the expulsion of people, and there was no point in the civil and military officials staying here.

Gu Yongshan: "The convoy continues to set off for the palace. ”

Gu Yongshan's return this time triggered the storm in Shengjing. Countless messages are delivered in different directions in a frenzy.

At the gate of the palace, Gu Yongshan: "The Praetorian Guards should leave first." Li Wuyang, General Wei, the national teacher and I entered the palace. Sun Wuyan, you take them to the Chengde Palace. ”

Sun Wuyan: "Yes." ”

Gu Yongshan: "As for the others, go to the Praetorian Guard's barracks first, and then make arrangements tomorrow." ”

Bai Yulian, the four of Blades, Chen Xiu and Gu Yan, plus Tengyun, Hum and some others, were all taken to the Praetorian Guard barracks.

On the other side, after Gu Yongshan entered the palace, he followed the other eunuchs to other places in the palace.

Sun Wuyan: "National teacher, General Wei, General Li, follow our family." ”

Wei Changfeng: "There is Lao Sun's father-in-law." ”

Sun Wuyan: "General Knock Wei, what you said, aren't we all doing things for Your Majesty?" ”

The Chengde Hall, where the emperor and his ministers discussed matters, is located in front of the palace.

In the center of the palace, Gu Yongshan used it to criticize

Change the fold and rest place.

At the back of the palace is the concubine's bedroom. There are also eunuchs, palaces where palace maids rest.

Sun Wuyan took Zhang Cheng and others to the Chengde Palace.

Sun Wuyan: "Several, we are not outsiders, you sit on these chairs first, and wait for Your Majesty to come." ”

Zhang Cheng sat directly on the chair, although more than 20 days have passed, Zhang Cheng's soul has not yet recovered, and there is still a little pain.

Wei Changfeng also sat down: "I'm incompetent, although Your Majesty didn't say anything, I can feel Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

Zhang Cheng: "General Wei, alas. ”

At this moment, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say. Although Gu Yongshan returned to Shengjing, this was very different from when he left.

The Chengde Hall fell into silence, no one spoke, and no one knew what to say.

It didn't take long for the Taifu to come to the Chengde Hall under the leadership of the eunuch.

Taifu saw Zhang Cheng at a glance: "You are Zhang Chengdao, right?" ”

Zhang Cheng stood up: "I'm Zhang Cheng, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

Taifu: "I am the Taifu of the Shengwu Dynasty. Thanks to Zhang Chengdao for asking for rain for the people of Nanzhou and relieving the drought in Nanzhou. ”

Zhang Cheng: "This is what my generation of cultivators should do, and it's not too big a thing. ”

Taifu: "Although Daoist Zhang Cheng said so, your merits will not be forgotten by the Shengwu Dynasty." ”

Zhang Cheng: "Taifu, you are too polite. ”

Taifu: "Daoist Zhang Cheng, in the future, as a national teacher, I very much hope that you will contribute to our Shengwu Dynasty and ensure that our Shengwu Dynasty will have smooth weather and peace in the world." ”

Zhang Cheng: "I will do my best to do this." ”

Taifu: "With the words of the Taoist, I am much more relieved." ”

At this moment, Gu Yongshan walked in. At this time, Gu Yongshan had already changed a set of clothes. When I didn't go to Nanzhou, it was so official. It can be seen that it is a set of clothes that are usually worn.

Gu Yongshan sat on the dragon chair in the Chengde Palace: "Uncle Feng, Taifu, Dao Chief, you all sit down." None of the outsiders here today are outsiders. ”

Taifu once taught Gu Yongshan when he was still the prince, and to Gu Yongshan, he was indeed not an outsider.

After the three of them sat down, Gu Yongshan spoke: "Taifu, how has the court been in the past two months since I left the Holy Capital?" ”

Taifu: "It's not very good, the prime minister and the military department are still in the same boat." The prime minister co-opted the criminal department secretary, and the military department secretary and the household department began to cooperate. If you really count it, the current court is divided into three factions. ”

Gu Yongshan: "The prime minister's faction, the military department's Shangshu faction, and the neutral faction?" ”

Taifu: "Exactly. ”

Gu Yongshan: "It's so bold, I dare to form a party for personal gain, and I really don't take me seriously anymore." ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, then what are you going to do?" ”

Gu Yongshan: "Taifu, I plan to change these people. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent, they didn't make a mistake, and there is no way to belittle them out of thin air." And he degraded 4 first-class members in a row. This will shake the court. ”

Gu Yongshan: "I don't have so much time to play tricks with them." They need a reason, so let the beacon find it, how can such a large family have a traitorous crime. Here's why. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, what do you mean when you say you don't have that much time?" ”

Gu Yongshan: "Alas. ”

Taifu was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, why are you sighing." ”

Gu Yongshan: "I only have three months to live. ”

Taifu: "What."

Is it? How is it possible, Your Majesty, you are joking with the old minister. ”

Wei Changfeng: "Alas, Taifu, let me tell you." ”

Wei Changfeng told Gu Yongshan about his poisoning.

Taifu was angry: "These county kings are really bold. If they dare to poison His Majesty, they should all be arrested by the Zongren Mansion and returned to Shengjing for questioning. ”

Gu Yongshan: "It's useless, since they sent someone to assassinate me, they have been ready to rebel against the imperial court." What I need to do now is to build a stable rear for Yuan'er. So that Yuan Li doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the court. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, is your poison really incurable?" ”

Gu Yongshan: "Okay, Taifu." People will eventually die, and we have to accomplish a lot of things in a limited time now. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, it's okay to replace them, but there is no one in the neutral faction who can take their place." ”

Gu Yongshan: "Dao Chief, how about you become prime minister?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "By all means, the prime minister and the national teacher are two different positions, and when I become a national teacher, I don't have time to do what the prime minister should do." ”

Gu Yongshan: "That's it, the newly elected prime minister doesn't require him to do well, just need him to be obedient." I'll do the rest. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, but your body. ”

Gu Yongshan: "It's okay, this time, I brought back Uncle 5's henchmen, these two people are talented, and they both have handles in our hands, first give them a job as a scholar and a long history, let them get in touch with government affairs, and then give them important positions later." ”

Taifu: "The henchman of the king of Nanzhou County, could it be that the king of Nanzhou also has objections?" ”

Gu Yongshan: "Taifu, this matter is very complicated, and in the future, Uncle 5 will only be the king of Nanzhou County." You don't have to think too much about it, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the inward affairs first. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the servant of the ministry can be the position of prime minister." He is tactful, does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, and does not like to fight for power. ”

Gu Yongshan: "Okay, it's him." As for the positions of the Criminal Department, the Household Department, and the Military Department, let their deputies do it. These deputies are also aware of their work, and there is no problem in handing it over to them. ”

Taifu: "However, this time I need a reasonable reason to demote 4 senior members at once, otherwise people in the world." What will you think of Your Majesty. ”

Gu Yongshan: "Dao Chief, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Zhang Cheng: "Isn't the case unclosed for the disaster relief bank?" ”

Gu Yongshan: "Dao Chief, the disaster relief silver is all with Uncle 5, it is the silver used to let the Nanzhou County Mansion raise the people of Nanzhou, and it can't be moved." ”

Nanzhou was exempted from taxes for two years, and the king of Nanzhou was allowed to support the people of Nanzhou this year, relying on 20 million taels of silver.

Zhang Cheng: "I don't mean to move the silver, but to let the silver appear in their homes." ”

Gu Yongshan: "What do you say? ”

Zhang Cheng: "The beacon received a report that these people had a large amount of disaster relief silver hidden in their homes. And the people of the beacon tower happened to find the disaster relief silver among these people. ”

Gu Yongshan: "Dao Chief, your method is very good, I adopted it." Tonight, I will ask the people of the beacon tower to go and search for these relief money. ”

Sometimes, planting is also a means. What's more, these people are not so clean in the first place.

Taifu: "Your Majesty, will this be too much?" My intention was to degrade, not kill, and if I did, they would have to die. ”

Gu Yongshan: "If they are really clean, I will spare their lives." But I am afraid that they will not be clean. ”

Taifu: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”
