Chapter 613: A Good Man (Three Watches)
The court......
Many courtiers quarreled and argued endlessly for Yan Yunge.
One said that he would be dismissed and demoted to a commoner.
One saying that it is not appropriate may backfire.
For Yan Yunge, a "local power" that is outside the imperial court power system, you must not be forced too quickly, and beware of being counterattacked.
The best way to deal with these local powers is still Huairou.
Hello, hello, everyone.
Don't try in vain to show the authority of the court, you will be slapped in the face and beaten loudly.
But......
The courtiers were all masters who did not think much of a matter, and they tried hard to persuade Emperor Xiao Chengwen to take severe punishment measures against Yan Yunge.
The reasons are strong!
Pingyang County was the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Yan Yunge was an official of the Great Wei Dynasty and was rewarded by the imperial court.
In this case, should Yan Yunge be controlled by the imperial court?
It must be subject to the control of the imperial court.
This was the cry of many courtiers.
Some officials scoffed, "The same reason can also be applied to Liu Zhang, so is Liu Zhang disciplined?" What is the war going on in the north now? This official thinks that he might as well use the salt tax and sugar tax to offset the reward of Youzhou's soldiers and horses. In this way, a transportation procedure is also omitted, and the road loss is reduced. ”
"Ridiculous!"
"Shameless!"
"This official is ashamed to be in the company of you."
The courtiers quarreled, and the roof of the main hall was about to be overturned.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen sat on the dragon chair, not panicking at all.
While listening to the courtiers arguing, he flipped through the chapters of various places, and the news delivered by Jin Wuwei from all over the country.
Grandpa Fei reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's late. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen asked him, "Is it noon?" ”
"Half an hour away, it's noon."
Emperor Xiao Chengwen immediately closed the concert, and when they quarreled, time always passed very fast, very fast!
In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.
"Ahem......"
He coughed lightly, interrupting the courtiers' argument in an instant, making sure everyone's eyes were on him.
He said loudly: "Regarding the dismissal of Yan Yunge's official position, this matter will not be mentioned again. Yan Yunge is not guilty, how can he dismiss the official.
Regarding the reward of Youzhou soldiers and horses, the Ministry of Rites, together with the Ministry of War and the Political Affairs Hall, will come up with a statement as soon as possible. The court must not chill the hearts of the soldiers ahead.
Although the north and south are currently isolated, and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou are hanging alone, the front line of the border pass is still under the rule of Great Wei.
Youzhou soldiers and horses are guarding the border for the Great Wei, and they are avenging the emperor for the court, the people, and the emperor. Repelling Wuheng is a great achievement.
Before the first emperor died, he was still talking about returning to the north to take revenge. Although the soldiers and horses of Youzhou failed to completely kill the soldiers and horses of Wuheng, they were able to repel the southern invasion of Wuheng, at least let the subjects of the world see the hope of revenge.
The isolation between the north and the south is only temporary, the imperial court has Youzhou soldiers and horses, Yuzhou soldiers and horses, sooner or later they can fight back to the north, the people who should be liquidated will be liquidated sooner or later, and the revenge will be avenged sooner or later.
All in all, the hearts of the border soldiers must not be chilled.
In addition, an official document from the political affairs hall ordered Hou Yan of Guangning to be responsible for the defense of the 10,000-mile border pass.
I handed over the northern gate of the Great Wei Jiangshan to Hou Yan of Guangning to defend the battle, hoping that he would not disappoint my expectations, insist on guarding the border passes, and return the people of the north to a peaceful time. ”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When it was time to shout slogans, the courtiers were absolutely fast, good and neat.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Retreat!" Leaving in the blink of an eye.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
……
After retiring from the dynasty, Emperor Xiao Chengwen went to the harem.
It's almost noon, so you might as well have lunch before continuing to get busy with political affairs.
When you have lunch, you can also take the opportunity to get close to the emperor.
The eldest prince has recently smoked a strip and lost some weight.
Already able to walk, walk staggeringly, like a duckling, quack......
It's especially cute to look at.
teased his son.
The child was hungry and was eating noisily, so she asked the grandmother to take the child down.
The palace people brought warm water, and Emperor Xiao Chengwen cleaned his hands and prepared for lunch.
He and Empress Yan Yunqi chattered, "I originally wanted to summon Yan Yunge to Jianzhou City, but you sisters have not seen each other for a few years since they left the capital, so take the opportunity to let your sisters get together." As a result, Yan Yunge didn't appreciate it at all, and rejected my invitation very unceremoniously. ”
Empress Yan Yunqi personally prepared the dishes, and she said softly: "I have already reminded Your Majesty that the fourth sister has just been out of confinement for a few days, and I am afraid that she will be too busy to touch the ground." His Majesty asked her to come to Jianzhou, and she was tired of traveling and troublesome all the way. Most of the time she can't leave, she can't come to Jianzhou. His Majesty didn't believe it, so he had to let her come to Jianzhou. This will be rejected, and I will feel that there is no light on my face. ”
"I didn't feel the light on my face." Emperor Xiao Chengwen retorted.
Queen Yan Yunqi pursed her lips and smiled, following his words and not demolishing him.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen snorted coldly, "Why don't you believe what I said?" ”
"I believe it!" Yan Yunqi looked sincere, "Your Majesty is not a person who loves to save face and suffer crimes, I believe that the fourth sister's refusal to come to Jianzhou did not hurt His Majesty's face." Your Majesty is just a pity. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen smiled, "You are a joke that Cheng Cheng Cheng looks at." ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong! I'm just reminding Your Majesty that you can't try to test the fourth sister by tricks. Your Majesty wants to use her, and you have to guard against her. The fourth sister knows this. She is willing to be sent by His Majesty, but she also has her own bottom line. Why don't Your Majesty keep the boundaries and be at peace with each other. ”
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I must think about the whole world. If I were still Prince Ping back then, of course I could turn a blind eye and the well water would not interfere with the river water. ”
"As the Son of Heaven, can't you insist that the well water does not interfere with the river water?"
"Are you kidding?" Emperor Xiao Chengwen asked rhetorically.
Empress Yan Yunqi smiled, "I don't understand the principles of governing the country. It's just that I think Your Majesty has drilled the tip of the horns? The most important thing at the moment is the progress of the war in the north, why doesn't Your Majesty let go of the fourth sister, don't always worry about the taxes of Pingyang County. ”
"As the Son of Heaven, how can you not worry about the taxes of the rich land? If I turn a blind eye to everything in the world, it is better to give away the Great Wei River. Or simply give up the throne and continue to be a free prince. ”
"Your Majesty is serious! I think that His Majesty is clearly jealous of the fourth sister. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen sneered.
He will not admit it!
He would be jealous of Yan Yunge and make some jokes.
It's just nonsense.
Yan Yunqi didn't demolish him either, letting him sulk by himself.
Taxation was in the hands of "local powers", and as time went on, Emperor Xiao Chengwen became more and more dissatisfied.
This is also the reason why he frequently tests Yan Yunge.
To be the Son of Heaven is to be in control of everything.
However, under the rule of the Great Wei, local powers were rampant, as if they were one side of the princes.
Liu Zhangdi's rebellion sounded the alarm for him.
We must not continue to allow local powers to act arbitrarily, but we must take measures to divide and disintegrate whenever there is the slightest possibility, and we must take back a little power.
If the localities continue to be allowed to develop on their own, the end result will be that the government decree will not be issued to build a state city.
The imperial court will fundamentally lose control over the local government.
At that time, will the country still be the country?
Local autonomy, the Great Wei existed in name only.
Just wait for the overlord of one side to raise his arms and shout, and the local government will bow down and change the dynasty.
At that time, he, the emperor, will be the sinner of the Great Wei.
It's hard!
Eating food, no taste.
After only eating six minutes full, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Have you sent a letter to the Marquis of Guangning?" ”
Yan Yunqi nodded, "The letter to my father has been sent today." The Queen Mother, shouldn't Your Majesty take a look? ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen asked casually: "What happened to the queen mother?" ”
Yan Yunqi refilled the teacup with water, "It's not a big deal." That is, since Princess Dingtao came back from Pingyang County, the Queen Mother has been asking her to kiss her, and she has seen seven or eight families, and Princess Dingtao is not very satisfied.
I sent someone to find out, and it seems that Princess Dingtao prefers young and handsome young men. The candidates that the Queen Mother gave her to see were all young talents of the same age, and Princess Dingtao was afraid that she was too old and undesirable. ”
Burst!
Emperor Xiao Chengwen sprayed.
"Dingtao still dares to dislike others for being older. How could she herself not look at how old she was. ”
"I don't dare say that. Say you go! Yan Yunqi said angrily.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen snorted coldly, "The affairs of the harem should have been handled by you." How can you push me on the head? I'm busy with government affairs, and I'm still busy with harem housework, do you want to exhaust me to death? ”
Yan Yunqi said as a matter of course: "It is a major matter related to Dingtao's marriage, how dare I make a claim." She is not uncommon with my sister-in-law, and if I interfere in her marriage, she will have to tear over the roof. All in all, I've told you something, do you want to ask, you have an idea! ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen snorted twice, "You are just afraid of offending people, so you take the opportunity to be lazy by the way." That's it, I'll take a trip to Cining Palace. I haven't been to my mother for a long time to say goodbye, so I should go and take a look. ”
He's a man of action.
After lunch and a short rest, he set off for Cining Hall to greet Empress Dowager Tao.
He pinched the time, and when he arrived, the Empress Dowager Tao had just finished taking a nap, and the whole person was lazy and abnormal, and she spoke calmly.
"Why does the emperor have time to visit the palace today? I heard that the government is busy, you come to visit the palace, will you delay the political affairs? ”
"The queen mother's words are ashamed! I have been busy with political affairs lately, and I have neglected my mother, so I ask for my forgiveness. ”
Empress Dowager Tao smiled, "Don't worry, this palace knows that you are busy and doesn't care about you." Hongu has been quite busy lately, so I can't be idle. Dingtao that kid has a lot of requirements. Bengong didn't want to wronged her, this time he wanted to make her happy and marry a good man no matter what. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen teased, "Good men are rare." Especially in Jianzhou City, good men are even rarer, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find. ”
"No matter how hard it is, you have to find it. Dingtao has suffered and suffered, she has been with Liu Baoping, the traitor, for many years, and how many grievances she has suffered. Even if it's compensation, she should find a considerate and good man for her. ”
