"Your Majesty has just woken up, beware of the cold spring ......" the young man said softly, respectfully.

The Emperor of the Holy Book bowed slightly.

This person was the dedication of a fierce vassal king with a different surname, who was born into a declining clan and had served by her side for several years.

She is not a person who lingers on men, but just as emperors have set up three palaces and six courtyards throughout the ages, in addition to extending their children, they also have their own meaning and usefulness of existence.

The emperor has no private affairs in the real sense, and the so-called court is the former dynasty and the later court, and the two have always been closely linked.

She was a woman with a foreign surname, and it was more difficult for her to hold this imperial power than any other emperor, so she would do anything that would help her to take power.

As long as it is available, she will use it, no matter what means, no matter what outsiders say.

Along the way, if she had cared about those unspeakable and ill-intentioned words, she would not have had the opportunity to sit here, at least, no one dared to let her hear those disrespectful words in the open.

No matter what those people think of her, it is enough to still be respectful and to be used by her.

The Holy Emperor sat up straight, took the teacup handed by Gong E, looked in the direction of the outer hall, and asked, "But there are people waiting outside the hall?" ”

The young man replied, "Yes, Ma Xiang, Wei Shilang and other adults are waiting outside the hall...... Seeing that His Majesty was sleeping deeply, Wei Chen did not disturb His Majesty. ”

They also have official positions, and most of them are officials in the case.

The Holy Emperor couldn't see his joy or anger, and only said lightly: "No matter when a minister asks to see him, he needs to be honored in time." ”

The young man knelt down with a somewhat frightened expression, bowed down and said, "Yes, Weichen has written it down." ”

With the support of Gong E, the Emperor of the Holy Book got up, tidied up his appearance, and went to the outer hall.

Ma Xingzhou and Wei Shuyi, as well as several officials of Shangshu Province, were soon announced into the palace.

Xu Zhengye is dead, but the dynasty has not settled down overnight, and there are still countless complicated affairs that need to be taken care of.

A few days ago, there was an urgent report that the people of Daozhou had revolted, and those rebellious troops had captured Hengzhou.

This uprising, to start from last year's drought in Daozhou, when the imperial court disaster relief was not effective, and even there were displaced people poured into Beijing, last year when the Chongyang Holy drove in the Dayun Temple to pray for blessings, those who asked for the disaster outside the Dayun Temple, came from Daozhou.

Now, those rebellious people who revolted in Daozhou, from more than 1,000 people at the beginning, under the successive responses from all over the country, this fire has been extinguished for a long time in nearby states and counties, and now even more than 780,000 people have gathered.

At this point, it is urgent to send troops to encircle and suppress it.

After discussing everything, the Emperor of the Holy Book left a separate Chinese book to order Ma Xingzhou.

"Ma Xiang, sit down and talk to me." The Holy Emperor is a bestower.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the two talked about the previous dynasty, Emperor Shengshu mentioned Cui Jing's assassination: "If Cui Qing's assassination is true, it can be seen that the hidden thorn hidden on my side has not been removed. ”

She has repeatedly investigated and cleaned up for this, but at the moment, it seems that she has not been able to get rid of it.

She knows very well that if she wants to employ people, it is impossible to really avoid being spied on, but what she cares about most now is: "According to Ma Xiang, who is it who has repeatedly tried to put Cui Jing to death?" Is it Cui's enemy, or is it mine? ”

Or ...... For the sake of the military power in the hands of the governor of Choi. Ma Xingzhou pondered.

The Holy Book Emperor was noncommittal, and only said: "The sword of the Xuan Ce Army has always been coveted by many people. ”

Ma Xingzhou tried to ask, "Does the saint have doubters?" ”

"Now that people from all walks of life and those vassal kings are all ready to move, there are too many people to be suspicious of."

After a moment of these words, the Holy Book Emperor immediately asked about the news of the Rongwang Mansion in Yizhou.

Ma Xingzhou: "There is a secret rumor in the family letter sent back by the minister's granddaughter recently, and she has not noticed any changes in the Rongwang Mansion......"

Mentioning this, Ma Xingzhou couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, King Rong has been stationed in Yizhou for many years, and he has guarded the western border with the Jiannan Jiedu envoys, and he can be regarded as abiding by his duty, and he has never trespassed on his actions, and his heirs are also the most withered......"

"That's why." Emperor Sacred said: "It is precisely because he is different from those vassal kings whose ambitions are exposed, that he has never made a mistake in his words and deeds, that I must be especially wary of him. ”

"Ma Xiang should also know that over the years, he has been known as a benevolent and virtuous person in Jiannan Road, and he must bow to everything, be diligent in people's livelihood, and win the hearts of the people." She said: "Right now, I have won the hearts of the people of Jiannan, but what will happen in the future, who knows?" ”

Ma Xingzhou thought about it, and listened to the tone of the Holy Book Emperor who seemed to be talking about family affairs, and talked about King Rong's youth.

At that time, King Rong was among the princes headed by the former emperor, because his biological mother was just a small palace maid, without the support of his mother's family, when the princes were fighting, he never formed a party, and he did not ask about the affairs of the court, saying that he was the prince, but more like a chic and comfortable ordinary clan child.

Later, the first emperor died, the crown prince Li Xiao also passed away, and the seventh son of the emperor Li Bing succeeded to the throne, and was deposed after three years of reign, and then she ascended the throne as the emperor and succeeded the prince.

In this important event, there are countless people who have come forward one after another, opposed, fought, and fought for power...... And among these voices, there has never been a king.

He always stands on the outside, and does not contaminate in the slightest.

asked him to guard the western border, and he went, and asked him to keep his only son Li Lu in Jingshi as a hostage, and he also stayed for many years. It was not until Princess Rong was seriously ill this time that Li Lu was recalled.

"Even though he had no dissenting intentions in the past, but the times have changed, and now that he has become famous, I know that there will be no ...... at this time and in the future," said the Emperor of the Holy Books: "He acts without leakage, but if he has different intentions, it is impossible to be true without traces." ”

Ma Xingzhou understood, and after a moment, he lowered his head and said: "The minister understands, the minister will send a letter, so that Wan'er will pay more attention." ”

If it was only passively seen in the past, it will ...... in the future Then you need to take the initiative to explore deeper.

This move also means that Ma Wan will fall into greater danger, and the consequences of a slight carelessness are unimaginable.

"It's me who is ashamed of Ma Xiang." The Holy Book Emperor was ashamed and said: "However, there are internal and external troubles, and I really don't dare to treat them carelessly. ”

"I understand." Ma Xingzhou said: "The situation is like this, as a courtier, you should share your Majesty's worries." ”

The Emperor of the Holy Book sighed: "I can now fulfill my faith, and I am the only one. ”

"The reform of the imperial examination system has just begun, and Your Majesty will definitely have no shortage of available people in the future." Ma Xingzhou thought of those who were about to undergo the palace examination, and seven of the ten new science and technology scholars this year were born in the poor family, which was the greatest consolation for him as an official so far.

The Holy Emperor looked at the prime minister of the Hanmen cloth that she had pulled in one hand, and talked about where she planned to use these Hanmen Jinshi after the palace test.

Ma Xingzhou was surprised when he heard this: "...... The saints didn't plan to admit them to the Hallym Academy first? ”

Rather, it is directly distributed to the ministries and provinces?

The Holy Emperor shook his head: "The situation is special, I can't wait now." ”

Ma Xingzhou wanted to speak and stopped.

But in this way, when these new scholars first entered the officialdom, they had to face the struggle with the scholars...... This battle was too anxious, and it was almost cruel to these unsupported scholars.

People will grow up quickly in cruelty, but they will also be quickly broken and dissipated.

Putting aside the ability to fight for power, in all fairness, it is only a matter of the past hundred years that the Hanmen really have books to read, but those real classics and rare books for governing the country are still monopolized by the major scholars, and they monopolize everything from the root.

And the children of the official families of the scholar clan, what they have heard and seen since childhood, also determines that their vision and knowledge are much higher than those of ordinary poor people.

Therefore, when it comes to the way of becoming officials, these children of poor families who have a low starting point still need to learn too much, and now they are suddenly put in the important place......

The move was risky and radical from any point of view.

But at the same time, Ma Xingzhou is also very clear that it is never possible to live in harmony with the wind and drizzle when there has always been a real struggle for power, and this storm that has been brewing for too long will always experience a period of violent and chaotic turmoil.

In this turmoil, there is destined to be bloodshed.

But if they can win, they will ...... can open the door of justice for the children of the poor families in the world, and this door will not be easily closed!

Isn't this his original intention when he entered the court as an official?

Ma Xingzhou knew that he could not convince the emperor, and he had no position to persuade the emperor to suspend this move, so he could only get up and solemnly bow down for those poor scholars who did not know the future.

……

The next morning, Xu Zhengye's head was finally presented to the front of the emperor.

The Emperor of the Holy Book motioned to the chamberlain, holding the head in the box, and walked in front of the officials, so that the hundred officials could "admire" it together.

The head emitted a rancid smell, and the skin and eyes on it had begun to fester, which was terrifying, and most of the officials were pale, and some of the scholars and scholars couldn't help but hide their sleeves and retch.

"The Xu family was originally from a noble family, Xu Zhengye is known for his ability to lead troops, and his prestige among the family is quite high......," the empress's voice spread in the silent hall: "However, it still ended up like this." ”

"It can be seen that those who have the heart of my great prosperity will be punished by the world, and the will of heaven will also be punished!"

When all the officials heard this, their faces were different, and Ma Xingzhou and others went out first, and they all bowed down the mountain and shouted "Long live Dasheng Yongchang".

After deterrence, it is natural to praise merit.

"When the battle of Jiangdu is over, I will reward General Xiao and General Chang and meritorious soldiers."

"As for General Ning Yuan, who is at the top of the list—" The empress said with a smile, "I want to ask her personally what reward she wants." ”

What she wanted to ask was General Ning Yuan, but it was also Ah Shang.

She wanted to hear what her Ah Shang wanted.

……

After the early dynasty was dispersed, Wei Shuyi was summoned to the imperial council again, and the discussion was the follow-up to Xu Zhengye's rebellion.

Jiangdu and all the cities occupied by the remnants of the Xu army, or the same party of the Xu army, must be recovered one by one, this is one of them.

The second is the scholars in Luoyang who colluded with Xu Zhengye......

In addition to ordering Li Xian to thoroughly investigate and deal with the matter, the empress also mentioned that Cui Jing would temporarily stay in Luoyang and lead the Xuan Ce army to suppress the possible counterattack in the future.

If it was really just the Luoyang Shi clan involved, the sage's order was naturally understandable, but as far as he knew...... What the saint really wants to uproot this time is not just the Luoyang Shi clan.

or Cui Lingan's maternal grandfather's family, Xingyang Zheng's ......

Is this a move to let Cui Lingan make a knife and kill the Zheng family?

Is this a test, or is it to force Cui Lingan to become a "lonely man" who is really betrayed and spurned by the world's corporal clans?

Wei Shuyi sighed in his heart.

At the beginning, it seemed that he should not have proposed to let Cui Lingan go to Luoyang, so that Cui Lingan would fall into such a situation.

But the saint's suspicions arise, and without this, there will be other "tests".

In the face of the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, he was in harmony with the scholars...... How will Cui Ling'an choose?

Wei Shuyi's mind is complicated all the way, and he has the heart to solve Cui Jing's difficulties, but in this, how can there be two ways?

After returning to Zheng Guogong's mansion, Wei Shuyi changed his clothes, but still followed his recent habits, went to the Buddhist hall, burned incense and worshipped.

When he was about to leave the Buddhist hall, Duan quickly came and pushed his son back into the Buddhist hall.

In front of the Bodhisattva, Duan grabbed his son's arm tightly, and his eyes vibrated and said, "...... Zi Gu, I have recently confirmed that Sui Ning is in her current body, and what she is carrying is about the core of His Highness! ”

She pondered this matter over and over again every day, and the victory of Bianshui was like a fierce medicine poured into her brain.

"......" Uncle Wei turned his head slightly stiffly and looked at the three green incense sticks that had not yet been burned.

It seems that he needs to change the daily burning of incense once to twice.

……

is also burning incense, as well as Qiao Yumian.

Qiao Yumian, who was deeply affected by her mother's habit of "worshipping when she has nothing to do", came to Xingningfang Changfu today to ask Dr. Sun to re-examine her eyes, and then bowed in the Buddhist hall of Changfu.

After leaving the Buddhist hall, Qiao Yumian went to find Dr. Sun.

At this moment, it was raining lightly, and Xiaoqiu held an umbrella to support Qiao Yumian, walking very slowly all the way.

Came to Dr. Sun's residence, went up the stone steps, and went down to the corridor, Qiao Yumian sniffed lightly, and asked Dr. Sun who came out with a smile: "Dr. Sun has dried atractylodes and atractylodes?" ”

Doctor Sun was slightly stunned for a moment before nodding: "Exactly." ”

He dried more than these two herbs, and it was because the smell was mixed together, but she could distinguish these two smells, which was even more surprising. Besides, it is raining at the moment, and the rain will also disturb the medicinal gas.

Dr. Sun suddenly remembered that she had heard this little lady jokingly say that - a long illness becomes a good doctor.

Walking into the hall with Qiao Yumian, Dr. Sun was thoughtful for a while.

At this moment, nearly a thousand miles away in Bianzhou, a drizzle also fell.

When Chang Suining took Ah Diancai, He Wuhu and others from the military camp outside the city to return to the Bianzhou Thorn Mansion, he happened to meet Cui Jing, who took the initiative to take the craftsman to supervise the repair of the warship yesterday.

Cui Jing took Yuan Xiang and dismounted outside the Assassin's Mansion.

He Wuhu and the others hurriedly saluted Cui Jing: "Governor Cui! ”

And they all went together into the house.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chang Sui Ning walked with his hands in his hands and thanked Cui Jing who walked beside her.

Supervising the warship was originally her errand, and it had nothing to do with the Xuance Mansion, but Cui Jing was too busy in her eyes, and she did a lot of things for her, so that she had enough spare energy to deal with the affairs in the barracks.

"It's not hard."

It's not hard.

In the drizzle, Chang Sui Ning's fingers behind him tapped lightly twice, turned his head to look at him, and asked in a reminding tone: "Is it three days coming?" ”

"Well, here we go." Cui Jing didn't squint, looked ahead, and said, "Wait for the evening celebration banquet to disperse." ”

"......" Chang Suining was stunned at his feet, and the hand behind him clenched into a fist.

What the hell is this guy selling?

She couldn't help but hold her breath and looked at Cui Jing.

Cui Jing also turned his head to look at her and asked, "Have you ever seen a puffer fish?" ”

"Of course." Chang Sui Ning twisted his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him suspiciously: "What are you doing with puffer fish?" ”

Cui Jing looked ahead again, with a hint of a smile in his deep and clear eyes: "You are very similar at the moment." ”

Chang Suining: "......?!" ”

He Wuhu, who was following behind, couldn't help but whisper: "What does this mean?" ”

"I know!" Ah Dian immediately raised his hand.

Chang Suining, who had always wanted to save face, immediately turned around and looked at Ah Dian vigilantly.

But he still couldn't stop Ah Dian's big mouth that was eager to answer.

Good night everyone~
