Chapter 64: Establishing Ministers and Meritorious Ministers (6)
The emperor naturally accepted the proposal of the ministers, and promised to receive the decree in the new year of Zhaoliu Town tomorrow. When the courtiers walked out of the palace, they all breathed a sigh of relief, each clenched his fists and rejoiced, saying that God would bless him, but the Hunan people were not very happy; It wasn't until Yan Wen came out of it and his feet kept walking that he calmed down.
Yan Wen understands that this matter can't just be settled. He hurried back to the General's Mansion non-stop, and after seeing Liu Zhen, he didn't say a word of joy, but persuaded him to write a book quickly and ask the prince to supervise the country.
Liu Zhennian wanted to listen to his compliments, but he was shocked by these unprovoked words, and suddenly sullen: "I am the prime minister, and Yan didn't come to celebrate his participation in politics, but instead of opening his eyes for the emperor's family, what is the reason?" ”
Yan Wenden knelt on the ground and explained to him: "Yan was born for Liu Gong and died for Liu Gong, how dare he go against the general's will!" But now is definitely not the time to rejoice! ”
After hearing this, Liu Zhennian was really puzzled, so he slowly sat down: "...... You said. ”
"The anti-party Xie Zanyi is now in prison, and he insists that he is under the order of the prince, otherwise he has the courage to offend the general."
"Fuck!" Liu Zhennian glared angrily, "King Xu was sent up by us, and he still wants to me behind his back!" Investigate this case to the end, and we can't tolerate it! ”
"It's already happened, and we can only prevent it from happening, so please calm your anger." Yan Wen was busy persuading.
"No one has told me earlier...... "Forget it, what does Your Majesty say?" ”
"Your Majesty's arrangement is very meaningful."
"Huh?" Liu Zhennian's eyebrows raised slightly.
He actually called a small official to come to the palace to meet him, and easily sued Na Xie Yushi, and took off his official uniform on the spot. When discussing the sealing of the prime minister, he suddenly made such a ...... Think about it, what does the emperor mean by this? He was arrested, but there were still a few Xie Zanyi in the court, so I didn't know. It would be scary to follow his example and prepare to disrupt our deployment at a critical time. ”
"I'm really scared when I think about it......" Liu Zhennian pounded his head.
"Your Majesty doesn't mean to tear your face with you, but letting the prince do this must have ulterior motives. According to what the lower officials can see, they want to beat us up and tell us not to be too arrogant. ”
"I don't know why I show my sincerity to the Son of Heaven?" As soon as Liu Zhennian asked, his eyes suddenly rolled and he looked at Yan Wen, "Won't it be...... Let the crown prince supervise the country, right? ”
"That's right," Yan Wen bowed, "only by giving them back power can we ensure peace in the government." ”
"As long as I can take over the power, these things will be given!" Liu Zhennian did not regret it, and clapped his hands urgently, "Send Guifu to write a book, so that the prince will be in charge of the country; In addition, Xie Zanyi was beheaded earlier, and he must not be allowed to slander the prince! ”
"Yes!" Yan Wen's heart was very happy, and he didn't forget to make a long gesture forward, "Now, Yan can salute the prime minister seriously!" ”
Liu Zhennian laughed and grabbed his arm, "This is the demeanor that my mastermind should have!" While I'm still happy, I want to ask you something. ”
"Liu Gong, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"You can't forget your roots. Who is the little official who exposed Xie Yushi? It's amazing that you can guess Your Majesty's intentions and save me from fire and water! ”
"Like...... is called Guoxiang people, and it is all the way from the official department to the servant Chen Tongpao here. ”
"Send someone to tell him what reward he wants, just mention it to the prime minister!" Liu Zhennian's words are extremely heroic, and he looks full of ambition.
The next day, the emperor received a proposal from the crown prince to supervise the country, so he readily agreed, and issued an edict on the grounds of his poor health and age, ordering the prince to arbitrarily appoint officials below the third rank and save affairs on behalf of the upper court. The crown prince and Lan Yuan were not very satisfied with such a result, after all, killing only one Xie Zanyi could not deter Cun Zhao and the others, and the clever plan of 'killing two birds with one stone' finally failed. But the matter has come to this point, and it can only be slowly figured out.
After these two hours, Liu Zhennian officially moved into Zhongshu Province, and began to award the people who wrote and said things, and asked Gui Fu to write a merit book, so that Chen and Ye were rewarded, and Yan Wengong ranked second, but there was a lack of first.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Gui Fu wave his pen and write a name he had never seen before: 'The first gong, over the Hunan people.' ’
Seeing everyone's faces, Liu Zhennian immediately slapped his knees and laughed: "You don't recognize it, right? This person is not known, and he is just a small official in front of Chen Shilang, but he has to plan for the traitorous party and become a matter of harmony between my monarch and ministers; If he hadn't sued the thief, how could he have done it now? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and called Liu Gong wise again and again.
"The Hunan people are the secretary of the lower officials, and they have not been examined, and if they want to confer official positions, it is really not in line with the etiquette law, and it is good to reward them with money and wealth." Comrade Chen saw that they had been on it for a long time, but they were still undecided, so they opened their mouths to admonish.
"What the Communists say is very true." Katsura echoed.
"No, this first merit must be rewarded, so that this Hunan people can remember my kindness," Liu Zhen crossed his waist and stared at the words on the thin book, "Is my court's title valuable?" ”
"Princes below the duke can be bought, this is a decree made in the 20th year of the founding of our dynasty, although it has not been abolished, but in recent years it has been mentioned less." Guifu replied with a bow.
"Then it's okay, I'll pay for him to buy a Hou Ye dangdang!" Liu Zhennian shook his hand, "Taiwei Gui, please write it!" ”
Gui Fu picked up the pen: "I don't know...... What's the right number? ”
Liu Zhennian looked back at the map hanging on the wall, and pointed to a county casually with his hand: "From ...... Choose a treasure land in Zhejiang. ”
"It can't be sealed." Katsura said again.
"Haha, there are quite a lot of rules," Liu Zhennian scratched his hair a few times, "What...... What can you call it? ”
Yan Wenjin said: "There is a cloud in "Shangshu": 'You are virtuous and virtuous, and you are loyal and good', it is better to take the Marquis of Loyalty as the name. ”
Liu Zhennian was about to give permission, but Gui Fu said: "The name of loyalty is like a posthumous word, and it is not very good to put it on a living person." Only choose a good word and be named a good marquis, I think it is okay. ”
Liu Zhennian thought that Gui Fu was reasonable, so he asked the latter to write the word Lianghou and show it to everyone.
"Who are the Hunan people? Who are the Hunan people? Come out and take the order! ”
This voice passed through several gates and reached the ears of the Hunan people. When the Hunan people heard this, they almost jumped up, and immediately took off the satin clothes on their bodies, changed into old clothes with patches, pulled their shoes, and went out in a panic.
"Eh, here we are! Grass people, grass people are coming! The Hunan people's eyes were shining with golden light, and the door latch was dismantled for a long time before the messenger was invited in, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and his hands were trembling.
"Get on your knees!"
With a bead of sweat, the Hunan people knelt down neatly, pressed their heads tightly to the ground, and kept muttering to themselves: "Big brother, did you see it underground, the younger brother is going to be an official...... The younger brother is going to be an official. ”
"Ahem, the Hunan people listen to the order!"
