Chapter 220
In the early Wei Dynasty, the military generals of Wenchen were on both sides, and all the ministers today quarreled over who the new emperor would send to Lianghuai to serve as salt transport envoys. 【Latest chapter reading. 】
Xiao Ye got up, but he didn't expect the officials below to quarrel.
Even if the first emperor sent Zhou Hong to parachute into Lianghuai to rectify and reform the salt affairs, it was difficult for the officials in the DPRK and China to change their stereotypes and think that the salt envoys were a poor profession.
Zhou Hong stood in the team of generals, his eyes and nose were unmoved, and he seemed to have settled down like an old monk.
After the old Yu Pavilion was buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, he re-entered the court, and a group of old protégés flocked to him, and the courtyard of the Yu family became lively again.
The new emperor is not familiar with government affairs, and he has to rely on these old courtiers to ensure the normal operation of the court, even if Yu Ge is an old fox again, but he can skillfully deal with various situations in the court, and his protégés are old and old, Xiao Ye is currently in great need of him who was an old minister who was closed at the beginning and was not loyal to Xiao Wei.
After Yu Ge Lao returned to the court, the new emperor showed great respect for him, and when the pot was fried below, he said kindly: "The two Huai Salt Road are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, dare to ask Yu Ge Lao if there is a suitable person in his heart?" ”
All the ministers immediately went to see the old Yu Pavilion, and the protégé whispered an idea, proposing that "whoever who who" should go to Lianghuai to serve as the salt transport envoy, but he didn't expect the old Yu Pavilion to say slowly: "The old minister has a candidate in his heart, Your Majesty can remember who the emperor sent to Lianghuai to govern the salt affairs before the Lianghuai Salt Road case occurred?" ”
The eyes of Xiao Ye and the ministers suddenly swept over Zhou Hong, who had entered the meditation, but they saw that his face was unwavering and his business was not about himself.
"Although the old minister is closed at home, but the reform of the two Huai salt roads is also a little heard, although I don't know how detailed, but I also roughly know that the reform method of Lord Zhou is very effective, not only the price of salt has been suppressed, but also did not damage the tax revenue of the treasury, but later the turmoil, Lord Zhou was still in office was brought back to Beijing to defend himself, the rest of the calculation, Lord Zhou's term of office has not yet expired."
Since Zhou Qianke's term of office has not expired, shouldn't he be let go back to Yangzhou to continue his tenure? What are you arguing about?!
Yu Ge's words made everyone quiet for a moment, and even Xiao Ye on the emperor's throne nodded yes: "What Yu Ge Lao said is true, Zhou Qing's term of office has not expired, and he should indeed go back to Lianghuai to continue to serve, and you Aiqing don't have to argue about the position of salt envoy anymore." ”
When this matter was agreed, he brought up another matter, which was also quite controversial in the court in recent days.
Since Xiao Wei subdued the law, after the matter was reported back to Anbei, Anbei suffered more and more frequently, and sometimes news came back to Beijing, but there were people who rebelled.
All ethnic groups in Anbei live together, Xiao Wei can use interests to bind all ethnic groups together in fashion, but the news from Beijing came back to Anbei, and bandits were rampant at that time, and all ethnic groups became a plate of scattered sand, and the troubled times were kings, and everyone wanted to occupy Anbei and claim the king, but it was those ordinary people who suffered.
It is said that many refugees have dragged their families to Kannai, just to save their lives.
"Anbei bandits are everywhere, people of all ethnic groups are confused, I decided to send a general to Anbei to quell the rebellion, and ask the secretary to recommend a suitable candidate."
Xiao Ye asked Gu Dingbang: "I don't know if Gu Qing has a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”
Gu Dingbang is his descendant, and Xiao Ye's own father came out of the army, so it is appropriate to ask Gu Dingbang about this matter.
Who would have expected that before Gu Dingbang spoke, Zhou Hong had already come out: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead the troops to Anbei to quell the rebellion!" As for the post of the two Huai salt transport envoys, no matter who His Majesty sends there, he will be safe. ”
He was extremely resolute in petitioning Xiao Ye, Gu Dingbang didn't know about the entanglement between the two, and immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that Lord Zhou is very suitable." Lord Zhou has led the army to fight for many years, and the pirates are more difficult than the various tribes in Anbei, and they have all been wiped out by him. Indeed, as Lord Zhou said, the position of the two Huai salt transport envoys is easy to choose. ”
The ministers of the court were staring at the position of the two Huai salt envoys, and their eyes were bleeding, so they were looking forward to grabbing this son, but there was even a fool like Zhou Qianke, who refused to do it, so he had to run to Anbei to die.
At that time, the ministers also unanimously recommended Zhou Hong to go to Anbei to quell the rebellion.
On the contrary, the new emperor seemed to be very embarrassed, and he muttered for a long time: "This ...... Zhou Qing still went to Lianghuai as well, he was also presiding over the salt reform at the beginning, and it was not good to change generals halfway, as for Anbei, Zhongqing can recommend others again! ”
Zhou Hong suddenly knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to Anbei to quell the rebellion, as a military general to go to Jiangnan, Your Majesty might as well send Weichen to fight!" ”
The ministers were even more enthusiastic, afraid that Xiao Ye would insist on leaving Zhou Hong to occupy the position of the salt transport envoy, and persuaded one after another, and said: "Lord Zhou is concerned about the safety of his family and country, and sent him to Lianghuai, maybe he will remember the war in Anbei, Your Majesty might as well fulfill Lord Zhou's ambition to serve the country and allow him to go to Anbei to lead the army!" ”
Xiao Ye: "......" This is really lifting a stone and hitting yourself
