Bai Qiuran said: "Today, I heard from the generals who guarded the border city and returned to Beijing, saying that it was ...... It seems that something happened to Zhao Guo. ”

Bo Yan was taken aback, it was definitely not as simple as a little thing to make Bai Qiuran run to tell him in person.

"What's going on?" Bo Yan asked, in fact, he also felt a little wrong, originally, his mother would communicate with him on time, and there were many fewer letterheads in recent times, even if the letter was just to ask how he was doing, he didn't answer much when he asked her, especially when talking about the situation in the court, he responded with only four words several times: Okay, don't read it.

The more this is the case, the more Bo Yan is worried in his heart, but this period of time in the Western Jin Dynasty is the happiest time in his life, and Bo Yan is reluctant to withdraw from it for a while, yes, although he has doubts in his heart, but he has not delved into it after all.

"What happened to Zhao Guo?" Bo Yan took a deep breath and asked.

Bai Qiuran said: "I heard that there is a news circulating in Zhao State, saying that Emperor Jiahe has an illegitimate son, who is the same age as Zhao Xueyan, and now a group of courtiers led by the hussar general have gone to look for it and are secretly bringing it back to the capital. ”

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows: "The illegitimate son of the first emperor?!"

Bai Qiuran nodded: "Now everyone takes this matter as a fact, and some people who have seen that child say that that person is very similar to Emperor Jiahe."

Bo Yan smiled coldly, Emperor Jiahe was over ninety years old when he died, and he was already unable to distinguish what he looked like when he was young. How can you resemble a ten-year-old child now, and how long do those who say they look like!

"Dart General?" Bo Yan groaned, remembering who he was, the dart cavalry general Ming Wei. Earlier, he was also a member of the Yan family, and then the Yan family fell and he took the lead in copying the Yan family's home, and he had a bad impression of him early on, and felt that this person was unavailable, but at that time, the court was unstable, and it was the time to employ people, so he couldn't be dismissed, so he dragged it like this first, and planned to talk about it later, but he didn't expect him to be really dishonest.

Bo Yan frowned, smelling a hint of conspiracy, at this moment, he suddenly found the illegitimate son of the first emperor? Where can there be such coincidences? It is clear that someone is taking this opportunity to rebel.

Bo Yan measured it and said in a deep voice: "General Bai wants to ask you something." Do you know if there have been any recent personnel changes in the Zhao dynasty? ”

Bai Qiuran thought about it and replied: "I have always managed the northwest side and know very little about the affairs of Zhao State, but I heard other generals mention a word earlier, saying that the half-year deadline has arrived, and Lord Yuan and his family have returned to seclusion again, and after Lord Yuan returned to seclusion, Zhao Guo seems to have dismissed several corrupt officials, and several cases of personal gain have been involved, which has attracted the applause of the people."

Bai Qiuran said, his words were full of admiration, and sure enough, he was the prime minister Bo who was once loyal to the monarch and the country, and he was indeed a Ming monarch who worked for the benefit of the people.

But looking at Bo Yan again, his face sank when he heard this: "Do you know how many people have been dismissed?" What are their positions? ”

"Hmm...... I heard that there were about seven or eight of them. Of course, this is only a recall, not counting those who have been involved in demotion. ”

Bo Yan sighed helplessly, and supported his forehead with a headache, it turned out to be like this, heh, his father's action was really big, and he dismissed seven or eight courtiers at one time! He's really ......

Bai Qiuran looked at Bo Yan's face was not good, and blinked his eyes and was a little puzzled: "Looking at the Kyushu Continent, King Zhao is the first person who dares to make such a drastic reform, which is really admirable, why does the crown princess look like this?" ”

Bo Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Yes, Lord Bai also said, looking at the Kyushu continent, my father is the first person, so do you think the rest of the countries in Kyushu, including the Western Jin Dynasty, don't you know that corrupt officials and corrupt officials need to be rectified?" ”

"This ......" Bai Qiuran was speechless for a while, this ...... Of course, you know......

Bo Yan continued: "Then Lord Bai Jue, why didn't others make such a big effort to rectify it? ”

Bai Qiuran choked, some couldn't answer, only looked at Bo Yan with his eyes, and suddenly, Bai Qiuran suddenly realized that the person sitting in front of him was the queen mother who had overthrown the Yan family and guarded Zhao Guo with her own strength, although she was young, she was definitely not something she could look down on.

Bai Qiuran's face became serious: "I want to hear it." ”

Bo Yan listened to his body and sighed, these were the privacy of the superiors, but today Bai Qiuran came to deliver the news for herself, and she must be honest with each other, besides, Bai Qiuran is a general after all, and knowing these is also good for her.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, although this is itself talking about businessmen, but I think it is also appropriate to put it on the official, people say that being an official is for the benefit of the people, but how many people can really do it wholeheartedly? Before serving the people, the people of the world have to consider their own interests more or less, if the two can be balanced best, but if the personal interests exceed the people, then it is a corrupt official, a corrupt official, everyone shouts and beats, and the world is not ashamed, but think about it in other words, those people climb to the top at all costs, isn't it for themselves? There can be a few people like my father, so although what they do is despicable, but from the perspective of human nature, it also makes sense, after all, General Bai was born in an official family, and now he is also in an official position, so he should understand this truth. ”

Bai Qiuran frowned, thought for a moment and nodded, I have to say that Bo Yan is right, human nature is complex and changeable, and it is really difficult to be able to hold your heart in a high position.

Bai Qiu's face turned red, and he was ashamed, even if his father was famous and upright in the Western Jin Dynasty, how could he guarantee that he would not take a penny......

Bo Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued: "There are always more corrupt officials in this world than clean officials, and it is too difficult for officials to protect each other. ”

"But is it because of this that you don't care about corrupt officials?" Bai Qiuran said angrily, she has always been an anxious person, and she is very unaccustomed to these things, but today after listening to Bo Yan's words, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be in this whirlpool, and she was really angry and disgusted.

Bo Yan's index finger knocked on the tabletop and smiled coldly: "Naturally, you have to take care of it, but you have to pay attention to a method to manage it, how can it be done if you are as reckless as my father." ”

"Reckless?" Bai Qiuran raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you see this as an example?" King Zhao has vigorously rectified corrupt officials and the people like to see it, and other officials will definitely not dare to make any more moves when they see this, right? ”

Bo Yan smiled: "The people are naturally happy to hear it, you just think it's an example to kill a hundred, but as everyone knows, the officials also have their own plans, what's the use of being obedient on the surface, in their selfish hearts, they are already standing on a united front against you, you can't even protect yourself, how can you continue to do what you want to do." ”

Bai Qiuran was stunned: "But, that's the emperor, what can they do......" Bai Qiuran said more and more quietly, throughout the ages, there have never been fewer chaotic ministers and thieves, what about the emperor, yes, how did I come back in the past and didn't realize this, the imperial power is unattainable in my eyes, but in the eyes of some people with bad intentions, it is exactly what they can't wait to smash.

Bo Yan knew that she had already understood when she looked at Bai Qiuran's appearance.

"That'...... Is there no way? Bai Qiuran said this, and sighed helplessly as soon as the words came out, the kings of Kyushu had no way, what could she do.

But he heard Bo Yan chuckle and said, "There is a way." ”

"Oh?"

"It is inevitable to punish corrupt officials, but there is really no urgency, rather than causing trouble when you are not prepared enough, it is better to prepare everything and then give it a go."

Bai Qiuran looked at Bo Yan Bo Rou suspiciously, still puzzled.

Bo Yan explained: "There are only two kinds of civil and military officials in the court, and those in high positions, as long as they have enough military power and heavy civilian officials as support, so that they can stand in an absolutely advantageous position, they can naturally clean up those disobedient corrupt officials." ”

Bai Qiuran's eyes lit up, and he nodded, thinking deeply: "This is a bit similar to our marching battle, if you want to deal with the enemy, you naturally need to be strong and strong!" ”

Bo Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's the truth," the words changed, and he sighed again: "This is why I said that my father was reckless......"

Bai Qiuran lowered his eyes and pondered: Yes, Bo Zhongqing's succession to the throne is a bit unjustifiable, and the next person is just because of Bo Zhongqing's previous achievements and Zhao Xueyan's personal identification of the candidate's identity, looking at the scenery on the surface, but in fact, he is walking on thin ice, and after the Bo family and the Yan family fought each other, because they were busy stabilizing the court situation, the Yan family's former forces could not be completely eradicated, and the hidden dangers naturally left, and the Bo family was almost not involved in military power, and the Yuan Lao, who was supported by the civil officials, also left. In order to protect their own interests, corrupt officials naturally tried their best to pull Bo Zhongqing off the horse, and in the face of the real royal blood, there are people who breed evil intentions, let alone face people like Bo Zhongqing.

Bai Qiuran understood Bo Yan's words, and somewhat understood Bo Zhongqing's current situation, if it was based on the march and fighting, it should be that when the two armies were at a disadvantage, someone cut off food and grass for themselves in the back, forcing them to death.

Bai Qiuran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "So, the news that said that he had found the illegitimate son of Emperor Jiahe...... It's ......"

Bo Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded: "Naturally, they deliberately passed it on, if my guess is right, the next step is to find a child, and regardless of whether the child is really royal blood, he has only one identity - to help those people force my father to abdicate, and even more, to replace Zhao Xueyan." ”

Bai Qiuran's eyes widened and he gasped.
