"Father suspects that those dead soldiers last night were sent by the Little Emperor?" After hearing his father's whimsical speculation, Xin Cai immediately flatly denied it, "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

"Oh?" Looking at his son's eloquent expression, Da Sima Xin asked with the meaning of the school examination, "How can you see it?" ”

In my son's opinion, even if those dead soldiers were really made in batches, it must cost a lot of money, otherwise why not just make one hundred and eighty dead soldiers? With the meager resources that the little emperor received from his aunt, how could he experiment and create so many third-grade dead soldiers? Xin Cai asked his father very confidently.

"yes!" Da Sima Xindu said with a complicated expression, "My father also has this thought, so I put aside my suspicion of the little emperor for the time being, but what my father can't figure out is that those rebel troops attacked my Da Sima Mansion at night, in addition to angering me and forcing me to personally lead troops to block their doors to fight them, what else can they get?" ”

"We're not those traitors, God knows what those traitors' brain circuits think?" Xin Cai replied noncommittally, and then said with a serious face, "What I'm more worried about now is that if the dead soldiers who attacked the Great Sima Mansion last night are really traitors in the land of the four states, then not only can we not postpone the time to defeat the rebels, but we even have to deal with those rebels as soon as possible!" ”

For his son to have this opinion, Da Sima Xin is still quite satisfied: "That's right, if those dead soldiers are really traitors in the land of Sizhou, it means that the rebels have mastered the secret method of batch manufacturing of three-grade realm martial artists, although it may be due to resources, technology and other problems, the scale of manufacturing is not too large, but if they are given time to develop...... In case of the formation of a tail that will not fall, I don't know who is crusading against whom at that time! ”

"So, the rebels must be defeated! And because this is the revenge battle of my Great Sima Mansion and the Xin family, therefore, as the father of the Great Sima and the head of the Xin family, he must lead the army to take revenge in person......" At this moment, the more Xin Cai spoke, the more he felt that something was wrong, "In this way, doesn't this give the little emperor a chance?" My father is not in Beijing, and according to the little emperor's attitude towards our Xin family now, it is inevitable that there will be no moths...... If I knew this, I should have left a live interrogation last night, and I don't have to guess here now! ”

"Interrogation?" Da Sima Xin couldn't help but sneer and said, "Those guys who attacked my Da Sima Mansion last night were obviously deliberately arranged to assassinate me, but they saw that they couldn't do anything, so they turned to attack my Xin family - like this kind of existence full of death and self-explosion without a word, do you think we can pry any useful information out of their mouths?" ”

As he spoke, Da Sima Xindu turned sideways slightly, and looked directly in the direction of the palace: "As for the little emperor...... He can't set off any big storms - after I led the army out of Beijing, the Taishi Kong Mingyi, the Taibao Wang Xishi, and the Young Fu Zhen Mingguang, who were in charge of the government, were all my people, and among the 12 battalions of the Beijing camp and the imperial city guards guarding the Beijing division, except for the 3 battalions of the Fenwu battalion, the dare battalion and the Liwei battalion in the 12 battalions of the Beijing battalion, which were in the hands of the queen mother, the rest of the armies were in my hands, even if the little emperor really wanted to do something, he couldn't do it! ”

Hearing his father's words, Xin Cai was completely relieved.

……

……

These days, Xin Cai wondered if he and his father were a little too high on the little emperor Zhou Ninghao's goods?

Originally, Xin Cai thought that after his father led the army out of Beijing, the little emperor Zhou Ninghao should start to make trouble and weaken the power of the Great Sima Mansion and the Xin family, but he didn't want to, the first thing the little emperor did after his father left the capital was to sell his official beard!

Zhou Ninghao just revealed a little bit of this matter, and he was immediately criticized by the ministers of the court headed by the Taishi Kong Mingyi, the Taibao Wang Xi Shi and the young master Zhen Mingguang.

The ministers believe that selling officials and lords will cause the corruption of the rule of officials, which is really the evil of the country!

In fact, Zhou Ninghao didn't think about selling the official mantle in the first place - not that he didn't want to sell it, but he knew that it was impossible for the princes in the court to allow him to do this!

One is because the officials who guessed the thoughts of the Great Sima Xin knew that the Great Sima Xin should want to undertake the next Great Zhou that was as "complete" as possible, rather than a Great Zhou with corrupt officials and needed to spend great efforts to "reorganize the mountains and rivers"; The second reason is that once the mouth of selling officials and lords is released, some doglegs who nodded to them in the past will be able to get equal to them or even surpass their status through money and resources in an instant, how can they allow this?

Seeing that none of the court officials who were in a state of turmoil were willing to agree to this, Zhou Ninghao took the opportunity to retract the preface of the traitor, and said that he was actually just thinking about choosing a concubine for himself.

Hearing Zhou Ninghao's words, the court officials, who were still excited, calmed down.

Compared with selling officials, the selection of concubines is obviously much easier to accept, not to mention, Zhou Ninghao is an adult, but he has not yet married, and there is not even a concubine in the walls of the harem...... It's so pitiful!

At this time, the attitude of the ministers was not unexpected by Zhou Ninghao.

There is an old saying, "If you want to open a window, you must first advocate tearing down the roof" - for example, if you say that the house is too dark and you need to open a window here, people will not allow it, but if you advocate tearing down the roof, someone will reconcile it, and then everyone will be willing to open the window!

Therefore, Zhou Ninghao first mentioned the seemingly outrageous idea of "selling the official beard", but the ministers really did not allow it, and then Zhou Ninghao advocated the selection of concubines, and the attitude of the ministers really eased a lot.

It's just that just when Zhou Ninghao thought that this matter was appropriate, but he didn't want to, at this time, he was "appointed" by Da Sima Xindu as one of the three people who were in charge of the affairs of Da Zhou, Taishi Kong Mingyi, but at this time, he took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, now that Da Sima is on an expedition, in order to raise food and grass materials for this war, the treasury that is already beyond his means is even worse, and if the emperor spends money on the matter of choosing a concubine at this time...... Isn't it a little too important? ”

Regarding the opposition of the Taishi Kong Mingyi, the emperor Zhou Ninghao carried out a "profound" "reflection" "from the goodness as a stream", and then, in the Jinluan Palace, Zhou Ninghao, who was in front of the courtiers, looked at the Taishi Kong Ming with "bright eyes" to say that he really shouldn't have chosen a concubine for the whole country, so in order to avoid interfering with the normal life of ordinary people, he decided to only choose a concubine from the family members of the Taishi Kong Mingyi!
