Chapter 233: The Book of the Criminal Department
Seeing that Zhu Song was really angry, Li Feng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told everything he knew.
Although for Yu Hao's sake, Li Feng didn't want to betray the third prince, but there was no way, if he didn't say that he was the one who died.
After listening to Li Feng's narration, Zhu Song immediately scolded angrily: "This little brute, he dares to do the act of betraying the country and seeking glory, it is really a shame for the ancestors, I have to kill him!" β
Zhu Song also learned from the previous battle report that Zhu An was captured by the barbarians, and later Yu Hao exchanged himself for Zhu An's life.
At first, Zhu Song didn't think much about it, thinking that Zhu An was caught because of bad luck, and he was relieved that Zhu An could go to the battlefield in person.
But at this time, when he heard that Zhu An not only peed his pants on the battlefield, but also revealed the information of Shahe Pass to the barbarians in the barbarian camp, he was immediately angry.
He Zhu Song asked himself what Rong Ma had been for half his life, even if the Sword Gate Pass was broken at the beginning, Zhu Song never surrendered under the pursuit of the Huns, why did he give birth to such an uncompetitive thing as Zhu An?
The three princes of Daqian actually became lackeys who betrayed the country and sought glory, what would the people think, where would the royal family's face go?
"Your Majesty is angry, the third prince has not come back yet, the authenticity of this matter needs to be verified, it is better not to draw conclusions too early." The eldest grandson smiled and hurriedly said.
Although the eldest grandson said this with a smile, he wanted Zhu Song to kill Zhu An immediately.
This is not only for the crown prince, but also for his own interests, after all, Zhu An is Yu Hao's good brother, if Zhu An is made the emperor, he will not have a good life.
"Hmph, there is no wind and no waves, if he himself is fine, how can he be grabbed by others by his little tail!" Zhu Song said angrily.
Even he, the emperor, didn't know this very well, but it could spread throughout the entire Wudu City overnight, presumably someone did it on purpose.
As the emperor of Daqian, Zhu Song's eyes are so vicious, can he not see this problem clearly?
But since the other party can publicize this matter with such fanfare, it shows that this is not a deliberate smear, even if there is an exaggerated component, it is not far from ten!
As for who the person who publicized this matter was, needless to say, Zhu Song could guess it, and it was naturally the person who entered the palace to tell him about it.
If you want to blame it, you can blame Zhu An for not being angry, and let people seize the handle.
The eldest grandson coughed twice in embarrassment, since Zhu Song would say this, it means that Zhu Song had guessed that this matter had nothing to do with him.
However, although he figured this out in his heart, the eldest grandson smiled and pretended to be stupid and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, no matter what, we have all won, I don't know how Your Majesty plans to reward other meritorious officials?" β
Seeing that the eldest grandson smiled and mentioned the reward, Zhu Song also calmed down his mood and said: "Naturally, it is a reward for meritorious deeds, the promotion of those who should be promoted, and the reward for silver will be rewarded for silver." β
"Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, it must not be, if it is rewarded for meritorious deeds, I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to hold it!" The eldest grandson smiled and hurriedly said.
Now that Zhu An's matter is solved, it is time to solve Yu Hao's matter, and Eldest Sun Xiao will never let the court have one more person who can compete with him!
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Wu Xiaxian and Ding Quan said in unison.
"If I don't reward my meritorious service, am I still the emperor? As for money, I don't have to worry about it. Zhu Song said coldly.
Just kidding, if you can't get a reward for such a great achievement, how will you, the emperor, serve the public in the future?
Even if he takes out his own money, Zhu Song wants all the heroes to get the rewards they deserve.
Seeing that Zhu Song was so determined, the eldest grandson's face was very ugly, if he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, Yu Hao would definitely not run away when he inherited the title of Duke of Yueguo, and it was very likely that he would become the head of the military attachΓ©.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is appropriate to reward meritorious deeds, but as long as those meritorious heroes are given titles, as for official positions, after all, Yu Hao and others are young people, if they are allowed to enter the court as officials, they will inevitably have shallow qualifications and it will be difficult to convince the public!" Wu Xiaxian hurriedly said.
As long as Yu Hao does not enter the officialdom, even if Yu Hao can inherit the title of Duke of Yueguo, it will not threaten their status in the court.
"Lord Xia, I'm afraid it's not your turn to take charge of the official appointment!" At this moment, a voice came from the door of the imperial study.
I saw Hu Ying, the secretary of the ministry, slowly walked into the imperial study, saluted Zhu Song, and presented a booklet to Zhu Song.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of official appointments this time, there are those who have been promoted and those who have been demoted, and I also ask Your Majesty to take a look, and according to Your Majesty's requirements, the appointments of Yu Hao and others are also on the list."
As soon as Hu Ying's words came out, Changsun Xiao and the others immediately poked their heads out, wanting to see who was on the list.
But Zhu Song deliberately put up the booklet, blocking the sight of Changsun Xiao and others, and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Zhu Song closed the booklet and said with a smile: "Hu Aiqing's arrangement is very satisfactory, let's do it according to this, by the way, when will Zhou Ren arrive in Wudu City?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Zhou has been on for a few days, and the distance from Ningzhou to Wudu City is not too far, so it should be there in a few days." Hu Ying hurriedly said.
Zhu Song nodded and said, "Let Zhou Ren come to see me immediately after he arrives in Wudu City, this criminal department is very important, I must see if he has the ability to be the secretary of the criminal department." β
Zhou Ren was the former prefect of Guangyi, and later became the pastor of Ningzhou under the recommendation of Yu Hao.
Now that all the food donated by Yu Hao has been transported to the north, coupled with the appropriation of the imperial court, the disaster situation in the five northern states has been stabilized, and Zhu Song, a talent like Zhou Ren, naturally wants to get it to his side.
As soon as these words came out, Ding Quan was suddenly anxious, he was originally the secretary of the Criminal Department, but because of the previous incident between Ding Oulong and Yu Hao at the city gate, he was demoted to the left waiter of the Criminal Department.
He was still waiting for a while, and with the efforts of Changsun Xiao, Zhu Song was able to reinstate him as an official, and he also gave Changsun Xiao a lot of benefits for this.
But now he was parachuted in for a week, which immediately caught him off guard.
Although Zuo Shilang is the second-in-command of the Criminal Department, Shangshu is the real speaker, and after Zhou Ren comes, the Criminal Department will not be able to speak for him.
And Zhou Ren is the emperor and Yu Hao's person at first glance, can he still have a good life in the future?
Thinking of this, Ding Quan hurriedly said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the position of the secretary of the criminal department is very important, do you want to think about it again, Weichen has been in the criminal department for decades, and he has also been a secretary of the criminal department before, Weichen begs His Majesty to let Weichen take this position, Lord Zhou can start from Zuo Shilang!" β
Originally, Ding Quan thought that Zhu Song would give him a little face for the sake of him as a veteran of the Three Dynasties.
But unexpectedly, Zhu Song shook his head and said: "Where is Lord Ding, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is a chore, how can I bear to let Lord Ding take the position, not to mention that there is already a new candidate for the left waiter of the Criminal Department, it is better to let Zhou Ren take the position of Shangshu." β
