Section 24 Initial Stability of the Hearts of the People

After seeing off the imperial uncle, I had just stepped out of the threshold of the compartment, and Xiao Qing, Han Cheng, Meng Jia, and Zhang Tiedan, who were waiting outside the door, walked towards me together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The four of them bowed and saluted me and said, "King of Hanzhong!"

I hummed, and then continued to walk towards the queen officer, and said to them casually: "Four adults, please come with me and go with me to see the queen mother!"

They didn't say anything after listening, so naturally they followed me directly into the harem without hesitation.

After coming to the Dahua Palace of the Empress Dowager Meng, I said to the eunuch at the palace gate: "Please ask my father-in-law to pass it on my behalf, and say that the king of Hanzhong has brought a few adults to come to pay respects, and there are important matters to discuss!"

Who knew that before the eunuch could speak, the palace door was immediately opened, and the Empress Dowager Meng walked out directly and said with a smile: "Why should Jue'er be like this, in the Queen Mother's Dahua Palace, the child can enter and exit at any time in the future without having to pass it on!

I smiled and saluted and replied, "My son obeys!"

Empress Dowager Meng waved her hand and invited us to enter the Dahua Palace and sit down with tea in the reception hall.

Empress Dowager Meng smiled and said to everyone: "With the assistance of all virtuous ministers, my royal family should be prosperous, you are your own family, please feel free to come to my Dahua Palace, don't be too restrained!"

Everyone smiled and thanked each other, and happily drank a cup of tea, which seemed very relaxed.

Xiao Qing was the first to speak: "It will take time to revise the law, and after I finish formulating it, I will present it to the Empress Dowager and the King of Hanzhong!"

Empress Dowager Meng said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, the law is the foundation of the country, you should be cautious in writing and reforming, this matter must not be in a hurry!"

Xiao Qing saluted and replied: "Obey the order, the lower officials will do their best, and dare not have any negligence!"

Then Meng Jia said with a smile: "I knew that General Han was a great general, and the general really lived up to his trust and returned safely with the King of Hanzhong, and his contribution was not small!" After speaking, Meng Jia turned sideways and asked me: "It's just that the last general has something unclear, why did the king of Hanzhong not allow him to move up, but let General Han stay away from Yongzhou Jingshi and place him in Fangling?"

I smiled but didn't answer, and drank tea quietly with a cup!

Han Cheng looked at me, and when he saw that I was silent, he bowed his hand and said: "The official position is just a false name, and the last general will not think so, although I have not been promoted, but I command the land of the two counties, and I am under the county guard, but I have the right to recruit soldiers, which is really a great move! In my Dayong country, in addition to the Yongzhou court, the only person who can recruit troops is the imperial uncle of Shu County! I have such a powerful position, above all official positions, the last general is well aware of the emperor's grace, and I am grateful!"

After speaking, Han Cheng thought for a moment, and then continued: "As for letting the last general garrison Fangling, this is the ingenious deployment of the king of Hanzhong!"

Meng Jia frowned and asked, "What's the reason, please ask General Han to explain it!"

Han Cheng replied seriously: "The city defense of Yongzhou has General Meng in charge, and the palace guards have Lord Zhang Weiwei, and Yongzhou has no worries! The last general will be stationed in Fangling, one can stabilize the eastern border, and the other can be the land of Yongzhou! The Yongzhou County Guard is the confidant of Prime Minister Wang, and the land of Yongzhou is the largest in the power of Prime Minister Wang. However, now the royal family has stabilized Yongzhou and Fangling, except for all parts of Xicheng, the boundaries of Yongzhou are basically controlled by the royal family, and the momentum of the prime minister has been greatly reduced, and the royal family is gradually securing!"

Meng Jia nodded slightly after hearing this, and said with admiration: "This deployment is really ingenious, the king of Hanzhong is far-sighted, and the last general is unaware of it, ashamed and ashamed!"

I smiled and didn't speak.

Empress Dowager Meng said with a smile: "What the King of Hanzhong wants is far-sighted, beyond the reach of ordinary people! General Han actually knows the intention of the King of Hanzhong, which shows that the general's talent is by no means only on the battlefield, no wonder the King of Hanzhong recommended the general to sit in Fangling, this is the meaning of reuse!"

Han Cheng immediately bowed his hand and thanked him: "The last general thanks the Queen Mother and the King of Hanzhong, the minister knows that the responsibility is heavy, and he will do his best to stick to Fangling and ensure that I have no worries in the east!"

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "There is not a single soldier in Fangling now, the general should start everything from scratch, the difficulties can be imagined, General Han must not be careless!"

Han Cheng nodded and said: "Of course, the last general should do his best and go all out, and he will never live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and the King of Hanzhong!"

After hearing this, Empress Meng nodded and smiled at Han Cheng and expressed her silent appreciation! Then she looked at me and said, "Son, why are you silent? Could it be that your body is a little tired?"

I shook my head and replied: "No! Don't be suspicious, don't doubt people! Since you are already the right-hand man of my royal family, the royal family should believe in it, and firmly believe in your talents! I have the backing of everyone with the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor, you can show your skills and give it a go, everything is in charge of our royal family, and you don't need to be afraid of anyone!"

Everyone bowed together and said: "The last general/subordinate obeys the order, and will never give up his allegiance to the royal family!"

I looked sideways at Zhang Tiedang and said, "Why doesn't Zhang Weiwei speak, the safety of the palace is the top priority, and everything has to rely on Zhang Weiwei!"

Zhang Tie Dan immediately knelt down and bowed and said: "The king of Hanzhong must not say this, the villain is extremely ashamed! The villain was originally just a cloth cloth, and the king of Mondstadt Hanzhong carried it, so that today's officials worship the captain, and even if the villain dies, it will be difficult to repay the great kindness of the king of Hanzhong! The villain will definitely be loyal and dutiful in the future, and strive to protect the palace from fail, and never give up the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"

I stretched out my hand to help him up and said, "Well, Zhang Weiwei, now that you are a general, you should call yourself the last general, and you can't degrade yourself to a villain anymore!"

Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Zhang Tie said with a little shame: "The last general obeys the order!"

I nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Weiwei, now that you are a general, your name still lacks bearing! The general is usually quiet and quiet, and he acts calmly and loyally, so why don't you change your name to Jingde?"

Zhang Tietan was overjoyed after hearing this, and kowtowed again and again to thank him: "Thank you for the name, the last general will be renamed Zhang Jingde today!"

After listening to this, everyone hugged their fists and congratulated, and Brother Jingde's call was endless!

Then I made a little arrangement for everyone, and said: "Lord Fengchang continues to carry out the matter of revising the law, and this king will also be there to assist! General Mengjia should be cautious to garrison Yongzhou, and must not let thieves enter the city to threaten the palace! Lord Weiwei shoulders the safety of the palace, and must always be on guard against the defense of the palace, and all idle people should not be lightly put into the palace! As for General Han Cheng, this king should accompany General Han to Fangling in person, and the relevant matters will be discussed in detail when they arrive in Fangling!"

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Then everyone got up and quit one after another, leaving only me and the Empress Dowager Meng to continue to sit in the hall and drink tea!

After everyone left, the Empress Dowager Meng sat on the cushion and stretched her waist, leaned on the pillow very comfortably, and said with a smile at me: "With Yu'er presiding over the big event, the queen mother feels at ease! After Yu'er returns to the court, this palace is especially stable, and the queen mother is very happy!"

I smiled slightly, and asked casually, "Queen Mother, how is the imperial brother doing recently?

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Meng had no smile on her face, she sat up straight, sighed slightly, and said: "Fu'er has no ambitions, and she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to become a great weapon in the future......!

When I heard this, I immediately interrupted the Empress Dowager Meng and said: "The sons and daughters will bring all the ministers to assist the imperial brother, share the worries and solve problems for the imperial brother, and strive to ensure that the imperial brother's throne is foolproof, and the queen mother does not need to worry!"

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Meng smiled slightly, she was more moved, she took me in her arms, and silently hugged me without saying a word!

Empress Dowager Meng is a smart woman, I naturally know what she wants to say, and of course she understands what I mean! At present, the overall situation is undecided, and the imperial family should be cohesive, how can there be the slightest doubt! My position is like this, to assist in winning and recovering the country, of course I have to make my position clear as soon as possible, so that Empress Dowager Meng can be completely at ease.

However, Empress Dowager Meng still didn't seem to be at ease, and then asked me softly: "Jue'er, you really have no interest in the throne?

I replied seriously: "The eldest brother is the king, I am the minister, one day as a minister should be loyal to the emperor for life! My two brothers were born to the same father and mother, and the eldest brother and I are also agreed to be the throne! The eldest brother sits in the court, and the child can conquer the Quartet one day, this is an excellent combination, the queen mother must not be careful, if such a good thing is broken, my great Yongguo will not be guaranteed!"

Empress Dowager Meng was stunned when she heard this, although she didn't understand the big truth, she still nodded and said: "Okay, okay! Everything is decided by Yu'er, and your eldest brother should sit on this dragon chair for you!"

I smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The child is still the same old saying, its ambition is to assist Dayong to return to the Central Plains, and it is the child's ultimate wish to restore my Great Qin River and Mountain! As for the throne, the child is not interested, and even more, he is more disgusted with the throne!"

After hearing what I said, Empress Dowager Meng said with emotion: "My son is high-spirited and ambitious, not disturbed by mortal dust, and he is really a saint from heaven!"

After saying that, the Empress Dowager Meng hugged me tightly, and the mother's heart can be seen, and it is definitely not hypocritical!

After leaving Dahua Palace, I immediately returned to my residence, and then wrote a letter to Hanzhong County, so that Hanzhong County could prepare for the resettlement of the people!

Later, I went to the garrison of the army and assigned tasks to several generals under my command, asking them to lead 10,000 troops to escort more than 200,000 displaced people outside the city to Hanzhong County, and hand them over to the Hanzhong County Guards for resettlement! I can only arrange for the Hanzhong County Guards to handle the resettlement of the displaced people, because I must stay in Yongzhou and preside over all major affairs above the court, so as not to be controlled by Prime Minister Wang again!

At this time, although I am already the king of Hanzhong, I own Hanzhong, Baima and Bajun, but in fact, the power in the fief is still in the hands of the county guards, and these county guards are all the people of Prime Minister Wang and the emperor's uncle, so I have no real power in the territory for the time being, just empty names!

It is not a matter of one day for the officials of the territory to govern, and the hasty replacement of the officials will only attract the joint opposition of the prime minister and the emperor's uncle! At present, we must seek stability, and the officials of the territory cannot be replaced for the time being, and I should ignore the affairs of the territory, do not ask, ignore it, and ignore it! Besides, there is no capable person in my hands to govern the territory, and the throne is initially decided, so I should look at the government and the law, and everything must be considered in the long run!
