An autumn rain alleviated the drought in Gyeonggi for two months, and potato seedlings in the state capitals of Guantian and Huangzhuang are desperately absorbing nutrients from the soil to feed the roots and fruits under the ground.

After more than a month of negotiations, Jia Cong only used 100 brand-new castrated versions of the Shenwu General Cannons and 500 refurbished first-generation versions of the Great General Cannons to take more than 5.3 million taels of silver from the pockets of the Japanese people.

The God of Wealth, Mr. Wen, grinned and praised every time he saw Jia Cong, and he couldn't wait to engrave the word "fortune" next to the royal cat on Jia Cong's official robe, and pull him to serve in the household department.

It's a pity that Jia Cong is actually a lazy person, and after fooling the envoys of the sixteen feudal domains of the Wa Kingdom, he immediately returned to the Rongguo Mansion and couldn't go out of the gate.

Even the Chongyang Palace banquet took leave and did not participate, which provoked the emperor to lose the opportunity to show off the baby, so he gave several sets of classics and assigned several assignments in a fit of anger.

Jia Cong, who is accustomed to being sent test papers during the holidays, is willing to be gluttonous, and prepares for next year's township examination and the next year's big comparison every day, and has lived a leisurely life for nearly two months.

One day at the end of the winter month, Jia Cong had just returned to the study from Rongxi Hall, and before the fire of the stove could be turned on, he received an urgent report from the door.

Something happened to the Cabinet!

To be precise, it was Wei Qinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, who returned to the duty room after the early dynasty, and suddenly fell down in the dark, unconscious.

……

Dada......

Jia Cong didn't even have time to change his official robes, so he only took a few guards and galloped towards the imperial city.

"Who dares to break into the imperial city?"

As soon as the captain guarding the door wanted to step forward to stop him, he saw the man on the horse holding the reins in one hand and taking out a piece of gold order.

"Ben Bo Jia Cong, there is something important to enter the palace!"

Jia Cong used the special treatment of horseback riding in the palace for the first time, and he did not stop all the way to the cabinet, and was welcomed by the scribe into Wei Qinghe's first assistant duty room.

Outside the duty room, there were already many civil and military members of the national dynasty, and several members of the royal family also came. Seeing Jia Cong's solemn expression, he unanimously gave way to a road.

"The saint and His Majesty are inside."

"Thank you, Lord He, for reminding me, Ben Bo went to visit the Prime Minister first."

Before entering the gate of the duty room, Jia Cong heard the roar of the emperor.

"What do you mean by seeing providence? You can't wait for a wine bag and a rice bag, Old Man Wei was playing chess with me a few days ago, why can't he do it today? Give me a good treatment, and if you can't cure it, you will be dragged out and killed! ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and walked in without waiting for the waiter to report.

In the duty room, there were only the children and grandchildren of Ersheng and Wei Qinghe, as well as a few ministers, and more than a dozen elders of the Tai Hospital bowed their heads bitterly.

Wei Qinghe was lying on the bed where he was resting on weekdays with his eyes closed, and he seemed to have lost his breath.

In fact, Wei Qinghe is three or four years older than Emperor Taishang, and he is seventy-three years old this year.

Two years ago, he was seriously ill several times, but the cabinet couldn't leave this old man who could reconcile the relationship between the two saints and even the monarchs and ministers of Great Xia.

Today, as if I had exhausted my hard work, I finally collapsed in the cabinet room. After the imperial doctor's consultation, the results were almost identical, the old man was not suffering from any disease, but his life was coming to an end.

If you are sick, there is always hope for healing, but the imperial doctor is not an immortal, and there is no way to snatch people from the hands of Lord Hades.

If Wei Qinghe can wake up from his coma and survive this winter, he will still have a few months and a year to live.

If not...... Alas!

It's a pity that reality is no better than drama, and without waiting for the emperor to order a famous doctor from the people, this old man who has been worried about the world all his life failed to wake up from his coma after all.

Just after noon, there was a cry in the duty room of the cabinet, Jingyang bell rarely rang for the courtiers, a series of thirty-six bell chimes, the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital followed the bell to pay tribute.

From the time Jia Cong received the news to Wei Qinghe's death, it was only a little more than an hour, and he didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to the old man.

The Emperor Taishang once again said goodbye to an old friend, and the whole person lost his spirit, and watched the imperial chariot who transported the body leave the imperial city, but he just said in a daze: All gone, all gone......

Wei Qinghe's sudden death was a great blow to the Emperor Taishang, and to this day, Zhaowunian's close ministers have all gone to another world after Wei Qinghe's death.

Jia Cong followed the Emperor Taishang into the Fengtian Hall on the west side of the Dragon Head Palace, and silently watched the Emperor Taishang carved the tablet and offered it to it.

"Old man Wei is also gone, who will accompany me to play chess in the future and accompany me to talk about the past and the present?"

He turned back suddenly, his eyes red, and there was not a trace of the tax profits of the past.

"Jia Cong, you go and tell the fourth child, posthumously crown Wei Qinghe Duke, and the ...... is true"

While speaking, the old emperor shed tears, Dai Quan and Jia Cong stepped forward to help, but saw him wave his hand: "Go, go, let me be alone for a while!" ”

Knock, knock, knock, knock......

The bell echoed throughout the capital, and on the twenty-fourth day of the winter month of the sixth year of Yuan You, the special entry Guanglu doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, the crown prince and the prince, the scholar of the Zhongji Palace, Fengtian Yiyun pushed the sincerity and kept the text of the minister, and Wei Qinghe, the marquis of Linjiang, died in the imperial cabinet room.

The emperor was ordered by the emperor to posthumously seal Wei Qinghe as Fengtian Yiyun to promote sincerity and keep the text of the ministers to rejuvenate the country, Taifu, Zhen Wenzheng, accompany the burial of the imperial mausoleum, and enshrine the Taimiao.

The emperor ordered his eldest son Wei Erming not to be demoted to the rank of lord, from the 25th of the winter month to the 27th of the winter month, and on the third day of the boycott, the Ministry of Industry built a mausoleum with the county king system.

The royal family in Beijing, the noble relatives of Wuxun and the civil and military officials all went to the Wei Mansion to worship. Liu Shuo, the fifth son of the emperor, was ordered to proclaim consolation, and the son and nephew worshiped and guarded the spirit.

……

With the sudden death of Wei Qinghe, the operation of the center slowed down significantly, and several other ministers had not felt it in the past. But on the first day of the boycott, whether it was the second assistant Qi Bohan or Zhou Jiong and others, they immediately felt a little powerless.

Especially with the military commanders of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, there are always various frictions, large and small, in handling military affairs.

On the twenty-fifth day of the winter month, the emperor came to the Wei Mansion to worship. When I approached the Wei Mansion, I saw a long sacrificial procession in front of the door, not only hundreds of officials and nobles, but also hundreds of people dressed in sackcloth.

The walls of the Wei Mansion were already plastered with poems to commemorate Wenzong, and the Dragon Guards originally wanted to drive away the crowd, just in case they were stopped by the emperor.

He did not continue to ride, but braved the heavy snow and walked slowly along the wall.

Outside the wall of the dragon guard, the people bowed down one after another, and the emperor gestured with his head and began to read the poems on the wall.

There are both new poems and old words, and the students use poems to express the sadness in their hearts and their respect for Wei Qinghe.

The emperor read it like this, and the people who bowed down were already sobbing in a low voice, and the emperor couldn't help but shed tears in his red eyes.

"Now that I have lost the Wei family, I have lost an arm with Great Xia. Sad and sighing, I hope that Master Wei's legacy will last forever! ”

"Your Majesty's mourning, we will carry out Wei Wenzheng's will, worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world!"

Seven days later, the Wei Mansion moved the spirit to the West Mountain, the prince held the flag, the secretary led the spirit, and all the prefectures in Beijing were placed on the road to sacrifice.

At the beginning of the Chen Dynasty, Jia Cong was ordered to send the spirit on behalf of the crown prince Liu Hong, wearing linen and filial piety, and carrying the coffin out of the house with the children of the Wei family. Put it in the carriage and lead the white silk to send the spirit.

The procession of sending the spirit did not go out of the city directly, but went out from the Wei Mansion, went north along Zhengyang Street, and enjoyed the royal road sacrifice outside the Daxia Gate of the Imperial City, for all the people to worship and see off.

Emperor Taishang fell ill, and Emperor Liu Heng changed into plain clothes, tied hemp silk around his waist, and bowed to incense, crying bitterly. The ministers were lined up on both sides and sacrificed to Wei Wenzheng.

At the end of the hour, the Jingyang bell rang again, Wei Wenzheng's coffin came out of the Daxia Gate, mourning music played, paper money flew up with the wind, and tens of thousands of people on both sides of the road knelt down and wept bitterly.

Someone in the crowd began to recite the poem Jia Cong had written for Wei Qinghe: "Thousands of hammers are knocked out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns like idleness." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”

The construction of the mausoleum has just begun, and Wei Qinghe's coffin is temporarily suspended in the side hall of the Xishan Emperor's Mausoleum.

The emperor decreed that it was engraved with a monument and a biography, and the seal engraved on it was Wei Wenzheng's life achievements for future generations to admire.

Wei Wenzhenggong, who first started teaching, cultivated talents for the country and spread all over the world. Later into the office, both civil and military, resourceful. In charge of the government and out of command and on the border, it is all related to the safety of the country and the hope of the time.

He once entered the enemy camp alone, angrily reprimanded the barbarian chieftain, cut off the khan tent, and deterred all the tribes from daring to offend the power of heaven. He has been in charge of the center for nearly ten years, and has solved problems for the country several times. Gai Gong's talent, but not enough to try. Unbridled economic development, merit and strategy?

Out of the famous, in the name of the sage. Happiness comes after people, worry comes first. Through the heavens and latitudes, it is appropriate to be unscrupulous. Virtuous, unprecedented. It is passed down in detail, and the law is permanent. Shuo people are dead now, and the country is worried.

The monarchy is loyal, relatives and friends are righteous, and it is not easy to advance and retreat. Stand on the big festival and understand that it is. The ancients are to the people, forgetting themselves and favoring the people. Mr. Ruo, only the people's worries. Food dreams, all over the world and Kyushu.

……

Wei Qinghe left, and the death without warning made the emperor very unaccustomed.

He has become accustomed to having Wang Zuozhi like Wei Qinghe in the center, and no matter who is in charge of government affairs in the current cabinet, he feels that it is much worse.

Qi Bohan waited for several days but couldn't wait for the emperor's decree, and couldn't help but become anxious, and secretly instructed his officials to play the edict.

I didn't want the emperor to be angry in court on the ninth day of the lunar month, so he demoted that person to Yazhou as a county. Subsequently, when His Royal Highness decreed, the ministers wrote to recommend the first and auxiliary candidates of the cabinet.

As a result, Qi Bohan, who was originally full of confidence, immediately noticed that something was wrong, and secretly connected with the Shu Party personnel, wanting to win over the courtiers of various departments. I didn't want to completely anger the emperor who was already lamenting the loss of Wei Qinghe because of this move.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, suddenly a holy decree arrived in Qi Mansion. He dismissed Qi Bohan as an assistant minister in the cabinet and a scholar of Wenhuadian University, and moved to Fujian Zuobu as a political envoy.

There was no charge against him, so he only asked Xia Shouzhong to send a handwritten letter to the emperor: Wei Shi first the world and then himself, and you first and then the world. Familiar as virtuous? What is a virtuous person? Can you be the first assistant?

At the same time, Chu Bangzheng, an assistant minister of the cabinet, was also moved to the outside office, and only the good old man Zhou Jiong and the auxiliary minister Xia Lingxing were left in the cabinet.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, the Jingyang bell rang in the palace.

In Beijing, all the civil and military forces above the seven grades entered the palace and held a court meeting in the Fengtian Palace.

The emperor ordered Zhou Jiong to succeed him as the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Zhongji Temple, and the second assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Jianji Palace in the summer of Jin.

Elected by the courtiers and approved by the emperor, Guo Peigui, the secretary of the Jin Rites Department, was an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. Wen Tongxuan, the secretary of the Jin Household Department, is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and a scholar of Wu Yingdian University.

He Yaomin, the left attendant of the Jin Rite Department, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lin Ruhai, the left attendant of the Jin Household Department, is the secretary of the Household Department.

So far, the once smash hit Shu Party and Zhejiang Party have fallen into a trough with the leftward migration of Qi Bohan and Chu Bangzheng. The new cabinet chief assistant Zhou Jiong not only has a soft personality, but also has passed the age of sixty-five, and the power of the center has gradually shifted to the hands of Xia Lingxing, who is interested in the new policy.

Wen Tongxuan, who has been the God of Wealth for more than ten years in Daxia, has a suitable successor, and finally announced his visit at the age of fifty-six.

The emperor edicted the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries to enter the palace to discuss matters, and Jia Cong slowly walked out of the palace.

The heavy snow, which had been falling intermittently for more than half a month, finally stopped, and the clouds on the canopy gradually dispersed, and the sun spilled through the gaps in the clouds to the earth.

Jia Cong muttered to himself: "Old man, you left in too much hurry, I didn't even have time to tell you, the household department has already counted this season's harvest." Gyeonggi's grain production is enough to feed the people of several provinces in the north. By the time next winter comes, there will be no more hunger in Great Xia. Your old wish is about to come true! ”

……

The end of the sixth year of Wonwoo was not at all calm, and with the transfer of cabinet power, the DPRK and China themselves were in a turbulent period.

Just after the new year, there was an eight-hundred-mile rush from the west. When the crown prince Liu Hong was inspecting Hexi, he was attacked by an unknown army, but fortunately, he fought desperately with the forbidden army to send the prince to Lanzhou Mansion safely.

Later, after the scout investigation of the Hexi army, the people who assassinated the king were the army under the command of the king of Xining County. Tens of thousands of troops in Hexi were furious when they heard this, and asked for an order to send troops to Xining to suppress Buchen.

The emperor ordered Qi Wenhua, the king of Xining County, to enter the palace, where did Qi Wenhua dare to admit this matter, saying that he was to blame others.

Immediately, the palace issued an order to ban the people of the Xining County Palace, and sent the third division to Hexi to investigate the matter. At the same time, he ordered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to integrate the forbidden soldiers and prepare to leave Beijing.

Hubu Shangshu Lin was busy in the dark, and it was not until Chinese New Year's Eve that enough grain and grass could be sent out of the capital.

This year is destined to be unstable, the first day of the Lunar New Year has not yet ended, Hexi came to 800 miles in a hurry, Xining County Wangfu Yan Emperor was coerced by traitors, killed Xining County King Qi Wenhua. The 80,000 troops under his command supported Qi Wenhua's younger brother and the commander of Xiningwei, Qi Wenliang, who succeeded to the throne, and officially raised troops to clear the army.

The crown prince Liu Hong has already led the military and political affairs of Hexi, and dispatched troops to Lanzhou, and went to Xining to quell the rebellion.

Jia Cong knew that it was time to leave Beijing, so he asked the palace to lead his troops to help. For a time, the generals on the Golden Palace took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to go out of Beijing to quell the rebellion.

The emperor looked at the kneeling generals in the hall and nodded with satisfaction.

"Passed the decree, Fengdu Taiwei commanded the county prince Teng as the general of Pingxi, and Yongfeng Bo Jia Cong as the supervising army envoy, leading 30,000 forbidden troops out of Beijing and going to Hexi to quell the rebellion."

Yes?

The emperor's sudden decree not only stunned the ministers in the palace, but also shocked the silent prince Teng.

Since the last time Wang Zisheng was involved in a major corruption case and he was grounded in the palace, if it weren't for the Zhengdan Dynasty, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to go to the court.

I don't want this time to lead the troops out of Beijing by myself, and partner with Jia Cong......

The court meeting ended in a hurry, and the emperor announced Wang Ziteng and Jia Cong into the Qinzheng Palace. Wang Ziteng was still thinking about the reason for the emperor's move, but he heard the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair say coldly: "I know that you have a lot of collusion with the Zhen family, the Huo family, the Shui family, and the Qi family, but you always withdraw at the last moment and do not really get involved in the rebellious things. ”

The emperor's words made Wang Ziteng's back almost soaked in cold sweat, but then he heard a glimmer of hope.

"I will tell you today, this is your last chance, to quell the rebellion in Xining Mansion, and completely subdue the Western Regions for me, so that the Wang family can live. Wang Ziteng, can you hear me clearly? ”
