Chapter 429: Jokhang
On June 28, Hou Fuzhong, the envoy of the Great Ambiguity, sent a letter of state to Dazhao.
In the court, Zhao Zhan sat on the golden platform, holding the Daqi National Book, a few words, he saw it at a glance, the big seal of "Yonglan Xingxi", the corners were sharp, like bloody fangs, and it bit the court fiercely.
"Presumptuous!" He threw the national letter to the ground and swept Hou Fuzhong's head.
Asking Hou Fuzhong to send the national letter is ironic!
"The Mo family's lost dog, the food of the king, but he is proud of his achievements, plotting rebellion, using my soldiers, occupying my land, enslaving my people, sending my old ministers to come, and daring to say anything on behalf of the heavens! Liu Bi, the king of ancient Wu, and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, who are not the blood of the royal family, will eventually be destroyed in the sky! What kind of face does she have to befriend! It's a shame to the whole world!"
He got up and walked down the golden platform, stood in front of Hou Fuzhong, and said coldly: "Hou Fuzhong, you are valued by the first emperor, you are a very popular minister, and you can't be loyal to the country, but now you are driven by Mo thieves, and you are extremely stupid and incompetent! It's not too much for me to cut you with a thousand knives!"
Hou Fuzhong stood with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.
Zhao Zhan knew in his heart that he was innocent, and he was afraid, but he still had to scold him with scriptures.
Scolding and scolding can maintain dignity - people who don't have strength can't sit firmly on the high platform and laugh at it.
"Do you think that Mo Thief can win the Central Plains with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses? The grasshopper shakes the tree, and it is beyond its own strength! Just a bad slave, but also dare to talk about the country? Ji Xiang drafted an edict to post an example on the borders of Ping, Wang, Ji, and Kuan, and offered a heavy reward to arrest the rebel!"
Ji Xiang hurriedly came out of the queue in response.
Zhao Zhan stared at Hou Fuzhong: "Go back and tell the evil slave that I will not give up!"
Hou Fuzhong arched his hand, wanting to say "minister", but he felt that it was wrong, and he didn't know how to call himself for a while, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He really has some loyalty to Dazhao, but no one believes it anymore.
That's it.
He hung his head and withdrew from the Golden Palace under the guidance of his inner servants, leaving only the national letter under Zhao Zhan's feet.
Zhao Zhan looked at the courtiers who were trembling because of the king's anger, and then glanced at the insensitive old ministers, and sneered in his heart.
He eliminated redundant officials and offended many old ministers in the court, who had been in power for too long and had a big hollow brain, and even thought that the relationship between the monarch and the minister could make him afraid of compromise.
As everyone knows, there are more soldiers waiting to take the stage than dust on their fur.
He walked back to the high platform and re-ascended to the imperial seat: "There is also a vacancy in the governor of Ezhou, I ordered the officials to nominate it, but the officials have not heard back for a long time, so I personally selected it."
The courtiers looked at each other quietly, their faces surprised and alarmed.
Ezhou thieves gathered, the previous governor was killed by thieves, and the literati who had not led the soldiers went to go, which was a sheep into the mouth of the tiger.
Zhao Zhan didn't care about their eyes: "Tang Yuxian, the Privy Council, gave the post of governor of Ezhou, took charge of the Ezhou garrison, and worked together with the garrison to suppress bandits, so I can feel at ease."
Tang Yu is Wu Hongzhe's person, and the emperor's move is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Wu Hongzhe.
The corners of Wu Hongzhe's mouth twitched, Bing Wat stepped out, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Yu is over fifty years old——"
Zhao Zhan interrupted him and said kindly: "You and other courtiers, *** Houlu, sit upright in Kyoto, I am slightly sent, I will prevaricate left and right, I can't be loyal and patriotic, Tang Yu is old and can't do it, so I will be deposed and return to my hometown, and become a foreigner."
In the court, there was silence for a while, and after a while, someone bowed down: "Please take back your majesty's order, don't chill the courtiers."
Tang Yu immediately came out of the queue and pretended to be sad: "Your Majesty, the minister is not prevaricating, the envoy and the minister of Wu are worried that the situation in Ezhou is grim and cannot act rashly.
Zhao Zhan looked at him coldly: "The Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he go back on his word, Tang Yu is deposed and returned to his hometown, and he will leave Beijing today, Tang Yu's official position will be filled by Liao Wei, and tomorrow morning, the officials will choose to elect Zhi'e Zhou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yu's face turned pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground, his lips trembled, and Liao Wei was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Lu Zhongnong couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, is it too hasty to turn around?"
Zhao Zhan closed his eyes, avoiding the morning light that began to dazzle outside: "Sloppy? In the case of Ezhou, I have urged many times, three divisions
I didn't remember the ancestral inheritance with the Privy Council, regardless of the urgency of the situation, and passed the buck to each other, I actually wanted to personally issue an edict in the palace, and today the letter of the thief was delivered, and I couldn't transfer troops to kill this thief because of the delay of you! Are you waiting to see that Mo Thief treats his old ministers favorably, and has the intention of treason?"
Wu Hongzhe, Lu Zhongnong and others jumped in their hearts, how dare they be such sinners through the ages, they all knelt on the ground and shouted innocence.
"Respectfully, I am naturally benevolent, if there are any more people who can't go up to the master, and die to benefit the people, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, and when it is convenient for the thief, I will not be merciful and handed over to the Wu Desi for interrogation! Retreat!"
Zhao Zhan said, turned around and left, walked out of the Chang Dynasty Palace, his heart was full of disgust, he simply didn't sit down, and walked forward.
The attendant on the side hurriedly ordered someone to raise a yellow umbrella to follow.
Zhao Zhan walked casually for a while, and when he passed by Shengping Building, he saw several pillars of Shengping Building wrapped in linen, and craftsmen were brushing brick ash and tung oil on them.
He raised his hand to stop the attendant from shouting, and raised his head with his hands behind his back to look at the Shengping Building that he had seen for more than 30 years.
As the days go by, although the vermilion lacquer painting on the upper floor is not mottled, it also begins to fade and dim, no longer bright and dazzling, the color is old, and the whole Shengping Building follows the ancient.
The courtiers are still the same, the inner servants are still the same, they are all subservient to the feet of the Son of Heaven, but he looks at the Shengping Building that has been refreshed over and over again, and he only feels that the world is falling apart.
He took a deep breath and left the Shengping Building, suppressing the irritability and anger in his heart.
He can't have personal joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, and he can't be the same as the first emperor, and he has lost countless opportunities for a posthumous name, in the past, the Mo family brothers and sisters were meat on the chopping block, and now the situation is reversed, and if he makes a mistake of half a step, he will push the country into the abyss.
He must find a way to fight this hopeless battle for a long time.
The yellow umbrella was above his head, temporarily holding up the sky for him, he walked all the way to the Wenzheng Palace, and instructed the attendants under the umbrella: "Spread Du Xiaochen and Shan Hang to see me."
The inner attendant left quietly, Zhao Zhan walked up the stone steps, crossed the threshold, and entered the hall, where the ice basin was covered with snow like a mountain, and the dust in the world was blocked out.
Du Xiaochen and Shan Hang, after four quarters, entered the Wenzheng Hall sweating profusely and saluted Zhao Zhan.
Du Xiaochen was very calm and didn't hurry to speak-he thought about every sentence in his heart countless times before he opened his mouth, others only thought he was steady, and they never thought that he was a little stuttering.
Shan Hang saw that Zhao Zhan didn't say a word in front of the imperial case, and his colleague also pretended to be unfathomable, so he had to take the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, Mo Thief's move is a provocation, and now the uprising is not stopping, if the troops are dispersed, the result will be that it will not please everywhere, and the minister thinks that the bandits will be suppressed first, so as not to make the bandits bigger, and it will take more national strength, as for the Mo thief, he will focus on defense, and the future will be long."
Zhao Zhan pricked up his ears and listened, thinking that what he said had no intention and belonged to nonsense: "I know it in my heart."
He looked at Du Xiaochen, raised his chin, and motioned for him to speak.
Du Xiaochen paused for a moment and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can train the navy."
"Huh?" Zhao Zhanmo rubbed the jade chisel in his hand, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help nodding: "Du Qing doesn't talk much, but he is on point."
Newcomers, sure enough, can say something new.
