Chapter 218: Chen Shubao
After the rectification of Gao Wei, the administrative efficiency of the imperial court was not ordinarily fast.
The edict issued by the early dynasty was spread by the public people throughout Jinyang almost a day.
Then important states and counties such as Yecheng, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou posted announcements in turn.
The subordinate officials of the cabinet and the household department, as well as the officials of Shangshu Province, poured out of Jinyang almost in a swarm and scattered in all directions to supervise the local administration.
ββ¦β¦ The Son of Heaven has an order to change the three-long system to the township, re-determine the household registration, people, and acres, and no one shall be allowed to break away, and those who abandon their nationality and escape will be imprisoned! Those who hide farmers privately will be killed! The prefectures and counties mentioned in the edict, the local county guards, and subordinate officials all acted in accordance with the regulations issued by the Zhongshu Province, and those who dared to tamper with the regulations and violate the laws and regulations of the country and the dynasty without permission would be killed! β
Yecheng, Zhao Yanshen sat in the first place, squinted a pair of old eyes and stared at the edict in his hand, looked and looked, Gao Run, Gao Zhen, Wang Lin, Hu Changwei and other important ministers sat at the bottom, and looked at the right minister sitting in Yecheng, and they all showed nervous looks, they didn't know what kind of order His Majesty in Jinyang gave them after re-registering their household registration.
"It's finally come to this......"
After reading it word for word, Zhao Yanshen passed the edict to Gao Run, Gao Run was shocked, glanced at Gao Zhen vaguely, and handed the edict to Wang Lin, Wang Lin took it, and at a glance, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Zhen, his expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Gao Zhen was almost scared to cry by them, could it be that the imperial brother was ready to kill himself?
While he was fidgeting by the armrest of the chair, Wang Lin handed the edict to Gao Zhen.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Beiping, it is really gratifying to be reused......
Gao Zhen opened it with trepidation and found that this was a transfer edict, ordering Gao Zhen, the fifth son of the first emperor, to be the general of Jizhou Assassin and Zuowei, and concurrently served as the Shangshu Order, raising 2,000 forbidden troops to inspect the states of Ji, Cang, Ying, You, and Ping for the Son of Heaven.
Gao Zhen found out that it was not his emperor's brother who wanted to kill him because he was unhappy, but made him a minister of the imperial mission, and he was immediately relieved, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart, "This edict from Your Majesty ...... I have been given such a heavy responsibility, I don't know why? β
"Your Majesty wants to re-check the household registration of the world, so I sent His Royal Highness to inspect the Quartet for His Majesty, mainly because I want His Highness to keep an eye on the progress of local affairs...... Oh, it has been made clear in the edict that His Royal Highness has the right and responsibility to bypass the officials and play directly, and in the same way, in case of urgent affairs, he also has the power to cut first and then play...... For example, the transfer of local county soldiers, the removal of some local officials, etc., etc., His Royal Highness can do it first and then report to His Majesty, this favor is really rare, so the old man congratulates His Highness......"
Gao Zhen has been known for his intelligence since he was a child, he just lacks experience, used his head to think about it, and quickly grasped the key point.
"Your Majesty, is this afraid that there will be a strong and powerful man who will hinder the implementation of the decree?"
"However, if it weren't for that, there would be no reason to give you such a great authority, a few months ago, didn't you always complain to me that you were doing cold benches in Yecheng? Now you have something to do......" Gao Yun said with some amusement.
"Your Highness doesn't need to be too nervous, because according to the news that the old man has received, Gao Renying, King of Gaoping, and Gao Renyong, King of Leping, have both received such edicts, and several of His Highnesses are His Majesty's siblings, and it is also appropriate to receive this kind ......of trust."
"Haha, Xiao Wang is really scared...... I'm really afraid that I will live up to His Majesty's trust. β
"It's okay, the old man will send two ministers to follow His Highness, if His Highness is undecided, you might as well listen to their opinions......"
"Xiao Wang knows, thank you for your kindness......"
Gao Zhen laughed a few times, could he not understand the intention of His Majesty and Zhao Yanshen to do this? Jizhou, Youzhou is a lot of powerful and powerful, re-determination of household registration is bound to be blocked by these local snakes, these forces have been operating in the local area for decades, and some are even families that have existed for hundreds of years, their energy is terrifying, even if it is as strong as the imperial court, it is impossible to convince them with just an edict, it is far from enough to rely on the imperial court to send courtiers to supervise, the emperor needs a weighty person, and the identity of the king is enough.
To be honest, he originally thought that His Majesty was out of jealousy, so he left him in Yecheng to sit on the cold bench, of course, this possibility is not ruled out now...... When the first emperor Gao Zhan was still alive, Gao Zhen was also quite loved by Gao Zhan, the first emperor had so many princes, and there were few close to them, one of them, King Langya, was now demoted to a concubine and was confined to the palace for life, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Gao Yan.
After a period of resignation, Gao Zhen hurriedly went down to prepare.
Zhao Yanshen looked up at the sky outside the window, and said lightly:
"This time...... It is related to the overall situation of the country and the dynasty, and there must be no mistakes, and this new policy of the country and the dynasty is really very important...... Although His Majesty is in Jinyang, the focus of the new deal is in Yecheng, and everyone must be vigilant against small chaos! β
"General Wang, the Yecheng Forbidden Army must be on standby at any time...... Don't take it lightly! β
"Okay."
Wang Lin arched his hand to the right with a solemn face.
Lead-gray clouds shrouded the prime minister's mansion, and everyone present felt the oppressive feeling of the storm......
Everyone is speculating in their hearts, where will this change take Daqi?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Different from the tension of the Northern Dynasty, the dignitaries and nobles of the Southern Dynasty always seem to know what the urgency of time is, and everyone will be intoxicated by the misty smoke and rain of the city when they arrive in the city of Jiankang.
The spring breeze in March is like scissors, and the spring breeze blows the willows on the side of the street, blowing away some of the chill.
There are already some beautiful ladies on the street who have begun to change into thin spring shirts, and being in this city is like being in paradise.
It is really at the feet of the Son of Heaven, different, pick up the curtain of an attic on the side of the street and look out, the market is prosperous, the characters are beautiful, the five streets and ten alleys, the business and travel shops, all seem to be afraid that this rare new sunny day will dissipate in a blink of an eye, and they are hot and hot, and the street is bustling, a peaceful scene.
From one of the attics came the unbridled laughter of a young man, "Good, good dance!" The singing is also good! β¦β¦ Come on, reward! The man who said this was a young man who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white jade crown, wearing a vermilion purple robe, with a face like a crown of jade, with a pair of amorous eyebrows, and a face as delicate as a woman, and he was watching the singing and dancing in the main hall at this time.
Several jade-like women danced in the field, dancing and playing beautifully, and their actions were like a glimpse of the sky, which made people feel amazing. The people present are some scribes, with wide clothes and big sleeves, or sitting upright, or their hair is scattered, making the appearance of "East Bed and Frank Belly", at first glance, there is really some Wei and Jin style, and the people present are naturally the prince Chen Shubao and some of his disciples.
If it is replaced by the children of ordinary families, I am afraid that everyone will praise this is the demeanor of celebrities and gentlemen, but in the emperor's house, it can't help but make people disheartened, and the people here are intoxicated with the sound of dogs and horses, singing and dancing, and it is difficult to break free. The affairs of the state and the world seem to have nothing to do with them. In the south of the moat, once the mountains and rivers are settled, this rich and gentle place can also wear out the hero's ambition.
The mountains and rivers that Chen Baxian won in a bloody battle have become their extravagant capital, and the heroic courage of their ancestors is disappearing from their bloodlines little by little...... That's right, this is a troubled era, the coming day is a big disaster, how the northerners cross the river, how the monarchs and ministers are suspicious, and how to make the people ruined...... These are all jokes, as long as the river in front of the door is still there, this wealth will be passed on to thousands of generations.
The so-called suave and suave should follow the example of Cao Zijian in the past.
"Born less than 100 years old, often with a thousand years of worries, short days and long nights, why not travel with candles?" The true meaning of the world is in it.
How is the future, no one can grasp a degree, only the joy of time will not leave regrets in their lives, people should grasp this fleeting prosperity, just like the song and dance in the building outside the building, peerless elegance, shocking eyes, everyone knows that this is a scene, but for this song, for this moment of bliss, I don't know how many dignitaries are willing to scatter their gold, just to be able to see it......
No one will calculate how much time has been dissipated and how many ambitions have been wasted for this speed.
Chen Shubao grabbed a beautiful woman with his hand, the woman snorted timidly, and then buried her head on his shoulder and refused to get up, Chen Shubao reached out and pinched her chin, buried her head in tasting the beauty of the red lips, the woman's delicate shyness and thin anger, writhing uneasily, Chen Shubao felt even more happy, laughing.
A few Xiangfei bamboos outside the court are verdant, the courtyard is deep, although it is facing the street, but there is no noise here, and the echo of the guests comes from afar, "The prince is a true temperament, and he will definitely be a Ming Jun who can tolerate people in the future......"
"Yes, the prince has been doing all kinds of poetry, singing and dancing since he was a child, and he is very loved by His Majesty, who doesn't know this, who doesn't know?"
"Even if Cao Zijian is alive, he may not be as romantic as our prince."
"Exactly, exactly......"
Chen Shubao listened to everyone's praise, his heart was overjoyed, and he was unwilling to pretend to be modest on the surface, and asked in surprise: "In the eyes of the princes, can this palace be compared with Cao Zijian, who has unparalleled poetic talent?" β
A guest with long hair scattered looked at Gu Gao, but the words he said were extremely flattering, and he was extremely convinced: "What's more, not only I think so, but the people of the entire Chen Kingdom think so, the reason why His Royal Highness is not famous, one is that His Royal Highness is too humble, and the other is because His Royal Highness shares state affairs for His Majesty all day long, and does not focus on the path of poetry. β
Immediately another person came to hold the stinky feet, "Hey, what are you talking about?" His Royal Highness has the hope of the world, how can he stick to this kind of poetic path? However, His Royal Highness is indeed brilliant, and before I met His Highness, I felt that I was also a first-class person in the world, but who knew that after seeing His Highness, I would know what a celestial person was! His Royal Highness's words are better than our words! I can't wait far further for Your Highness! β
"Hey, don't coax this palace anymore, and drinking is ......"
When Chen Shubao was playing, several servant boys stumbled in, Chen Shubao was disturbed, and suddenly became angry, slammed the wine glass on the table, and angrily asked what was the matter, the guests were silent, and the woman who was still in her arms just now was also pushed aside, shrunk behind him and shivered, that is a little bit of the graceful and generous appearance touted by the guests?
The eunuchs were startled by Chen Shubao, and they knelt behind the curtain one after another, unable to remember what they had to report.
"This palace has long said that no one is allowed to disturb this palace when it is resting! You are so bold! β
"Damn it! The slave and maid deserve to die, disturb His Highness's Yaxing, the slave and maid are extremely evil! β
The eunuch headed by the eunuch outside the door kowtowed again and again, and after finishing speaking, he fanned it hard in his face, and the crisp slap sounded, the eunuch served Chen Shubao since he was a child, and he could be regarded as having a deep love for master and servant, after slapping more than a dozen times, Chen Shubao gradually felt a little unbearable, and scolded: "Okay, don't pretend in front of the palace, get up." β
"Your Highness Xie......" After the eunuch got up, he said cautiously: "Your Highness, the slaves and maids do have something to report to Your Highness......
"Bengong doesn't listen, what's the matter until Bengong has fun."
"Your Highness......"
"Dog minion, don't you want to get an inch, don't you think this palace can't move you? After you go back, the palace will send you to the secluded court...... You slave, you don't know how to advance or retreat! β
The eunuch fluttered and fell to his knees in fright, the guests looked at each other, it seems that the prince has drunk too much, otherwise he would not have scolded his subordinates in public regardless of decency, and when it is normal on weekdays, the prince Chen Shubao has shown a gentle and virtuous face, and there has never been such a gaffe today.
However, in recent years, the emperor has favored his second son Chen Shuling more and more, and some have snubbed the prince, the prince's position is unstable, he is worried, and after drinking two or three glasses of wine, there is nowhere to vent his depressed mood, and this unlucky eunuch can coincidentally hit the prince's knife......
A guest dissuaded: "Your Highness, and spare the life of this slave, maybe he really has something important?" β
After Chen Shubao vented, his heart was also a little clearer, knowing that he had just lost his temper in front of everyone, and the impact was really bad...... But he scolded and scolded, and it was when it was difficult to ride a tiger that he snorted in his mouth, "What does it matter to this slave?" Slowly picked up the wine glass, but his eyes glanced at the kneeling chamberlain, who didn't know how to look at the eyes of such a ridiculous and easy prince? The chamberlain immediately kowtowed and said, "It was the slave maid who fainted and disturbed the feast of the prince and the guests, and the slave and maid should be damned......
"That's enough, what made you rush into this palace like this? If it's just a trivial matter, see how this palace blames you! β
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty wants to go out of the city to inspect the soldiers and horses, and ask His Royal Highness and King Shixing to accompany him, and now the carriage and horses are already at the gate of the East Palace, and if you don't go, it will be too late......"
Chen Shubao almost didn't hold the wine vessel in his hand, and it slammed on the ground with a "clang".
"βwhat did you say?"
