[Prime Minister Xia's Jingyun, loyalty is better than that of the sages, and his intelligence is not allowed to go to the saints. Slightly set the swifts, and achieve the peace of the territory; Seek to open a new policy and show the surplus of the treasury. starry night to save the Queen Mother in danger; In the face of danger, there is no chaos, and the turmoil in the court is fixed. Enter the elixir to save the life of the Son of Heaven, and offer the magic method to stabilize the emperor's body. Meritorious service is very important, and there should be a generous reward. Specially sealed Dingguo Gong, hereditary replacement, 5,000 households, and a Huangzhuang. 】

On the court the next day, Wang De slowly read out this holy decree after discussing with Xia Jingyun yesterday in front of the ministers, and all the courtiers present were not surprised.

When His Majesty was assassinated, the Queen Mother was attacked, Wan Wenbi and Yan Songwen forced the palace, intending to support the king, the situation has reached that time of crisis, thanks to Xia Xiang's thousands of miles to rush back, save the Queen Mother at the last moment, and then stabilize the court, so that there is today's situation.

Not to mention the title of duke, some people even thought about whether the Queen Mother would directly give a prince.

Great Xia Shuangbi, Jiang Yuhu has been crowned king, and it is completely reasonable for Xia Jingyun to be crowned king.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother still held a steady hand, and I don't know whether she was worried that Xia Xiang's authority was too strong, and she would rise too fast and be jealous, or she was afraid that she would not be able to seal it in the future.

However, the four words "hereditary replacement" also show the Queen Mother's preference and trust to the fullest.

All in all, Xia Jingyun was rewarded this time, and there was almost no disagreement between the government and the opposition, and even many people did not have too many emotional fluctuations, because that was what people deserved.

However, when Wang De took out another holy decree and read out another person's reward, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be a little turbulent.

[Chen's wealth, loyalty, bravery, and honors. When the chaos is set right, it is in danger; When the rebel thief is reckless, he will be punished on the spot. He also has the merit of Changshan County's great victory in defending the city, and is specially sealed as the Marquis of Ningdu County, General Jiayunlu, and served as the deputy commander of the forbidden army, with 500 households, a Huangzhuang and a jade belt. 】

Looking at the figure of the tall man who was as honest as a cropper and kowtowed to thank him, although the ministers in the hall had no objections, they were full of emotion.

A guard, unexpectedly sealed!

And people can't find fault with it, and they are convinced!

This makes them, the court officials who are poor and poor, who to reason with?

In this life, it is so fucking important to follow the right person!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, many people did not dare to surround Xia Jingyun, so they just congratulated him and then went to surround Chen Fugui to pull relations.

After Chen Fugui finally got rid of these people who could knock down one with one punch, and made a promise to eat one after another, he came to the carriage with a little embarrassment.

Seeing that Xia Jingyun was already waiting beside the carriage, he was about to prepare to drive.

Seeing that Chen Fugui was about to be a coachman again, Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you are now the Hou Ye, and you are a serious General Yunlu, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and you can't say anything about driving for me again." ”

Chen Fugui hurriedly said: "Childe, my family knows my own affairs, I can have today, all thanks to Childe, even if I drive a car for Childe for a lifetime, I am willing!" ”

"I naturally understand your intentions, but the court has its own rules and regulations, and there are discussions in the history books of hundreds of officials, so I must not act like this again."

Chen Fugui was not a stunned person who didn't understand anything, and immediately understood Xia Jingyun's words.

Xia Jingyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Then I simply won't take the car, come and walk with me." ”

Chen Fugui snorted and walked out with Xia Jingyun.

As for the carriage or something, naturally don't worry, not to mention that there are accompanying guards to help get it back, even if it is thrown here, no one will dare to covet the carriage with the Xiangfu brand.

"The burden of the Forbidden Palace, the future will fall on your head."

After passing through the bustling main street and turning into a quieter street, Xia Jingyun slowly spoke, "This time, I will first let you be the deputy commander, just to let you first familiarize yourself with the various processes, as well as the layout of the palace city, and some rules for guarding the forbidden palace. The new commander is the former deputy of Shang Zhicheng, if you don't understand, you can ask him. ”

Chen Fugui nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, son, I will live up to the expectations of you and the Queen Mother." ”

"Yue Pingwu should also be transferred back, Yang Yinghui is not young, look at what he means, how do you want to go in the future. In short, the defense of the Jingshi in the future is that you and Yue Pingwu discuss it, and you have a number in your heart. ”

"yes, okay."

"As for my defense, you don't have to worry, I went to the master's mansion yesterday to see, and the batch of seedlings that were originally selected and sent over have been trained well, and I am not far away in Beijing, so it will be fine."

"Speaking of which, I also have to go and give good news to my teacher."

Xia Jingyun smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, let's spend two days." ”

Chen Fugui looked around, "Childe, where are we going?" ”

Xia Jingyun raised his chin to the front, "Soon, it's in front." ”

Soon, the two stopped in front of a big mansion, Xia Jingyun turned his head and said to Chen Fugui: "What do you think of this mansion?" ”

Chen Fugui looked up, "It's quite magnificent, which member of the court and central government should live, but why is there no plaque?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "Because the plaque of the Imperial Mansion of the Marquis of Ningdu has not yet been completed!" ”

Chen Fugui, who was born in Ningdu County, Jianning County, Surabaya Prefecture, nodded subconsciously, and was immediately stunned, Ningdu Hou? Isn't that me?

Xia Jingyun looked at Chen Fugui's expression, and understood that he had guessed, and said with a smile: "Now that you are the Hou Ye, how can you have few human contacts, and it is inconvenient to live in my house all the time, so I will take it upon myself to ask Ah Li to find this house for you in Beijing, although it is not particularly big, but it is barely enough, Brother Chen should not feel shabby." ”

Xia Jingyun said so, but how could Chen Fugui, who knew a lot about him, take it seriously.

As the granddaughter of the richest man in Great Xia, Qin Li personally chose the house, how could it be bad.

Chen Fugui hurriedly said: "Childe, I am alone, it is enough to have a small courtyard to live in, where can I use such a big house." ”

Xia Jingyun glanced at him and smiled playfully, "Why are you alone?" ”

He walked to the door and reached out to push it open.

Chen Fugui, who was following behind, raised his eyes and looked at him, and the whole person was suddenly stunned.

I saw his old father and mother, his wife, and his child, standing in the courtyard at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Daddy!"

When the eight or nine-year-old child saw his father, whom he had not seen for nearly two years, he was gently pushed by his mother, and after a moment of hesitation, he still couldn't resist the affection of father and son, and ran up with cheers.

Chen Fugui picked him up, held him in his arms, and then looked at his wife.

Because the folk customs of Daxia are relatively open, there is no strict etiquette and religious constraints, in Zhongjing City, he has seen a lot of celebrities and noblewomen, Miss Qianjin, and even because of his son's top reputation in the Qinglou, when he was not married before, Oiran also saw a lot, but in his simple heart, he still only loves this ordinary woman who accompanies him when he has nothing.

accompanied him to work in the fields, handed him a bowl of herbal tea and a few nests;

accompanied him to practice martial arts, applied medicine to him, and helped him tidy up his home;

And when she received her master's request and hesitated, she also made a decision for him, supported him to repay his teacher's kindness, work hard for his career, and help him be filial to his parents and help him raise his young son.

Deeply affected by Xia Jingyun, he couldn't help himself, and hugged his wife into his arms.

The woman who had never experienced such a battle was stupid, and hurriedly reminded him that Xia Xiang was still there, but Chen Fugui just whispered in her ear, "In the past two years, I have suffered you." ”

Tears rolled down the woman's eyes, and her body gradually softened, venting the bitterness, fear, and hope of more than two years in the man's solid arms.

After pacifying his wife and children, Chen Fugui worshiped his parents again, and then directly carried his son to Xia Jingyun, who was silently watching on the side, and said to his son: "Kneel!" Kowtow! ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly stopped, "Brother Chen, what are you doing!" ”

"Childe, don't stop me." Saying that, Chen Fugui said to his son again: "Remember, our old Chen family, to have today, it is all the reward of the son, His Majesty, and the Queen Mother!" At the same time, this is your future mentor, you can learn half a skill from Gongzi, and my old Chen family's ancestral grave will be smoking! If you dare to be disobedient to your son, I will break your legs! Remember! ”

Where has the young man in the mountains experienced this battle, and he knocked his head honestly, Xia Jingyun hurriedly helped him up without saying anything, rubbed the little boy's slightly red forehead, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, your father is scared of you." When it settles down, let your father take you to my house, and we'll talk about it slowly. ”

After speaking, he also looked at Chen Fugui, "You too, a newcomer, why are you scaring children so much!" ”

Chen Fugui looked around at the house and his long-lost relatives, and wiped his eyes, "Childe, your great kindness, the villain will never dare to forget half of it!" ”

Xia Jingyun waved his hand, "You deserve it, if it weren't for you, I might have died somewhere, how could it be today." ”

He didn't dwell too much on the matter, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have worked your journey for the past few days. After a good rest, I also transferred some servants from the house, and you can call for it, and after you are familiar with the situation in Beijing, you will slowly replace it. ”

After another polite gesture, Xia Jingyun walked out of the mansion, and the carriage of the Jianning Marquis Mansion was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Xia Jingyun walk away, Chen Fugui put his son's shoulder, "Son, don't care where you go in the future, always remember that without him, there would be nothing our Chen family has today." ”

Although his son didn't understand, he listened to his father's solemn words and hummed solemnly.

Chen Fugui immediately said: "I'll tell you what to do, if you live a few more lifetimes, you won't have the same ability as anyone now." I really don't have to worry about that. ”

The little boy listened in ignorance, not knowing what kind of road his father had paved for him, a path he had never dreamed of in the ravine.

With Xia Jingyun being crowned the prince and Chen Fugui being crowned the marquis, the court has been turbulent from the beginning of Xuanhu's work to the current court, and finally has a somewhat calm atmosphere.

Soon after, the news of the Western Regions came, King Jing Jiang Yuhu collected the Seven Kingdoms in one day, and then gnawed down the ancient country of Langu with the Northern Liang, and the two sides joined forces, all the way to the west, in the capital of Zhongjing, there was laughter and laughter.

I rejoiced not only for the achievement of opening up the territory, but also for the fact that the dispute between the north and the south showed some signs of ending.

When the news came back from the Liyu Port in Guangling Prefecture that the fertile soil of the South Seas really existed, was vast and rich, the entire Jingshi was completely boiling.

The matter of business immigration, which has been discussed for a long time, has completely become the protagonist of the discussion in the streets and alleys.

And was deliberately suppressed by Xia Jingyun to the present, and the method of distributing the one-percent share of the Great Xia family was finally released at this moment.

This share was divided into 100 equal shares by Xia Jingyun, each of which had a document stamped with the seal of the imperial court and the household department.

And the method of obtaining it is also very simple, two words: auction.

The magnates in Beijing who had seen how Xia Jingyun sold five mirrors for hundreds of thousands of taels, as well as those people of the smart clan, all understood Xia Jingyun and the imperial court's calculations in an instant.

But even if you know that if you go, you will be slaughtered as a fat sheep, but now that the situation is very good, who would be willing to give up that share that may be multiplied countless times?

Who would have the determination to refuse a collective at the top of the entire empire?

So, three days later, outside the temporary office of the newly established firm, which had not yet hung a plaque, the carriages of the various clans surrounded the street in front of them.

The deposit of 10,000 taels of silver was paid directly without blinking an eye!

Because each family is limited to a maximum of five copies, it also gives many families with slightly inferior strength ideas, one is not capable enough, then several companies join forces, and fight together, how to say it is also a guarantee for future generations, and it is a sincere heart to move closer to the imperial power!

On that day, according to the presiding officer of the auction who was later promoted to the head of the auction of the Tobe Shangshu, the then Tobu Shilang Guan Hexiang:

Originally, he did not agree with the direction of the New Deal.

But in the end, when he saw the terrifying figure of the total auction income on the books, he completely agreed with Xia Xiang's concept.

These big clans, if they don't get treated, they won't be able to do it!

That's 12,870,000 taels!

Equivalent to 120,000 taels for each one!

It is equivalent to more than half of the financial revenue of the Great Xia Imperial Court in a year.

Moreover, looking at these people, there is still room for energy, and they are very relaxed!

Tell me, shouldn't these big clans clean up?

The money handed over to the imperial court naturally requires real money.

Many people thought that Xia Jingyun would let these big clans use the land property or antique jade to convert it, and take the opportunity to take it back, but he didn't do it.

Instead, he graciously gave these people a month to raise money.

As a result, the market immediately boomed in the trade of land and antiques, and the price of land that had been high became much lower.

More than a dozen mysterious buyers, at this time, appeared in various states and ate a lot of land in a big way.

Just when everyone was speculating whether these people were behind the household department or Xia Xiang, after the Qin family suddenly announced that they would donate 500,000 mu of land to the imperial court free of charge to support the implementation of the new policy, everyone suddenly realized, and then they couldn't help but feel with a little disdain that Xia Jingyun had done more.

But after the imperial court issued an edict to reward the Qin family's high wind and brightness, and changed his original Duke of Fengyang to a hereditary replacement, these big families who were eaten by one chicken and two were speechless and couldn't envy.

When the distribution of the shares of these families is completed, the general business of the northern and southern dynasties will only have one last unresolved matter: the name.

Among the various proposals, Xia Jingyun calmly wrote two words: Huaxia.

Therefore, without him explaining too much, this general business name jointly established by the Northern and Southern Dynasties was named Huaxia Firm.

The political situation of the imperial court was stable, the finances were abundant, there was no war in the frontiers, and the reform of the government administration that followed was carried out with little resistance.

Dense crops grew in the fields, smoke gradually rose in the deserted villages, law and order were restored, and business travel to and from the official roads was increasing

Signs of political harmony and prosperity have been initially revealed.

The people of Great Xia are like weeds, as long as they are not trampled to death, they are slowly rejuvenated.

In this way, in the joy and full of anticipation, the time gradually came to August.

Just when Xia Jingyun came here for two whole years, just when the dream that had lasted two years finally had a good start, a great news came to the new Dingguo Mansion like a reward of fate.

Su Yanyan and Qin Li were pregnant almost at the same time.

So, on the second day, in Xia Jingyun's house, a not secret, but relatively private party was quietly held.

Needless to say, the old man of Su and Qin, the old owner of Zhao, the old lady Yun, Su Shidao, and Wei Yuanzhi, all arrived with their families.

Li Tianfeng, Xing Shigu, Chen Fugui, Zhang Dazhi, these middle-aged people with different statuses today are no exception.

Although Gongsun Jing is still the housekeeper of the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, his status in Zhongjing City is countless times higher than before, and he is also smiling at the moment.

And on such an occasion, it is naturally indispensable to be afraid of the heavens and the earth, and now the royal historian who is justified in the name of the hundred officials has no temper, Huai'an Hou Baiyunbian Bai.

is responsible for the reception, but it is the new housekeeper after being promoted to the Dingguo Mansion, the former Zezhou post station, Shi Shangyu.

The ladies took the children to the backyard, and congratulated Su and Qin on their two daughters, and talked about the precautions for raising a safe pregnancy.

When it comes to those episodes where you must be restrained and careful, the laughter is especially loud.

In the front yard, everyone was also walking and chatting in twos and threes, discussing some big or small things.

Between talking and laughing, there is finally a bit of a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere.

After the feast, night fell, and the guests were sent away, Xia Jingyun walked back to the room and sat with his family.

He looked at Su Yanyan and Qin Li, and said with a smile: "How is it?" You're not tired today, are you? ”

Qin Li smiled, "We stood up and walked two steps, and they all shouted not to move, how could they be tired." ”

Su Yanyan also chuckled, "But isn't it, I think it's almost like we'll be lying in bed for ten months." ”

Xia Jingyun waved his hand, "Don't be too deliberate, you are now in the best physical condition, and you have never lacked diet and nutrition, there will be no problem, pay a little attention in the first two months, and then live how you live on weekdays, too squeamish, and it will be difficult for children to be born in the future." ”

Su Yanyan smiled playfully, "I forgot, my husband is also a gynecological saint!" ”

"Ahem! What nonsense! It's just a matter of reading a few more miscellaneous books! ”

Xia Jingyun spoke a little weakly, and then changed the topic: "Speaking of which, it is the first time that so many people have officially met today, and there is nothing unpleasant, right?" ”

Su Yanyan shook his head and smiled: "In our house, everyone is cautious in their hearts, where can there be anything excessive." ”

"But there's something really interesting." Qin Li opened his mouth and said: "Brother Chen's son-in-law and Lord Xing's daughter are of the same age, and the two of them are still very playful, Brother Chen's wife and Mrs. Xing said that they want to order a doll, and let us be a witness!" ”

Su Yanyan also thought of this, and smiled and hummed, "I heard that these two children suffered in their early years, and now that life is better, some of the previous habits have not changed, and the two parents have similar temperaments, so let's talk about it." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "That's good." ”

After chatting for a while, the two daughters now had a safe pregnancy, so they went back to their respective rooms, and Xia Jingyun didn't let Feng Xiuyun or Rouge stay to take care of them, but went to the study alone to do some official work.

When he was busy for a while, he slowly put down the pen, walked to the window, and looked at the lake outside the window, but his brows were quietly locked.

Chen Fugui and Xing Shigu's children's doll kiss made him a little vigilant in his heart, not for these two specific people, but for the hidden worries of the future.

Things in this world are, after all, a cycle of reincarnation.

They have now smashed or weakened the intertwined nobles, bureaucrats, and clans of the past, creating such a situation of political harmony and harmony.

But in the future, among these juniors, whether there will be the next Lu family, the next Qin Sichao, and the new family of huddles, no one can say.

The boy and the evil dragon are just two different directions in the pattern of interests after all.

He can see such problems, and he can temporarily suppress some problems, but with his current ability, there is no way to completely solve them.

After all, that's something that even great men can't do.

He sighed softly, no matter what, let's be my own generation first.

The night breeze blew from the surface of the lake, carrying a bit of warm water vapor, which slowly smoothed the anxiety in his heart.

He turned around and walked back to his bedroom.

The next day, Xia Jingyun, who got up early in the morning, did not go to the yamen, but went to the Qingbei Building under the protection of the guards.

Today is the day when the new Tushan Academy is officially unveiled.

Tu Shan Sanjie is the emperor's teacher, and Xia Jingyun has a good relationship with them, and on this occasion, both public and private, they all have to go to watch the ceremony.

After a complicated process, he, the head of the hundred officials, was invited to the stage and said a few words to the students below, and the Qingliu and the magnates who watched the ceremony.

As he walked towards the stage step by step, the noise around him gradually disappeared with his steps, and finally only the shouting sound of the distant street market was faintly heard, becoming more quiet and elegant.

Because he is not only the head of a hundred officials, a powerful generation of ministers, but also the second champion in the history of the dynasty, and a generation of poets who are the best poets today.

From official positions and power to talent and achievements, they can convince those present.

"Today is the opening ceremony of Tushan Academy, and I am honored to be able to gather with you to celebrate this event. First of all, I wish the academy better and better, you can all learn and succeed here, inherit the splendid chest of the three old gentlemen, and promote my Daxia Wenhua! ”

After a round of applause, Xia Jingyun continued: "Before I came, someone asked me why I had to set up a Tushan Academy because there was already a Guozijian in Beijing. I'm sure you're the same, a little confused, right? ”

"The prime minister is here to make it clear, Guozijian is an institution of the imperial court, which has its solemnity and regulations. Tushan Academy, on the other hand, is just a private academy that is no different from many academies in the world, even if the three old gentlemen are the current Wenzong, even if they are also emperors, they are also fundamentally different from Guozijian. ”

"Today, on this occasion, the Prime Minister announces two things. First, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty Longen, who care about the students of the world, have agreed with the central government that the will will be promulgated in the world later. From now on, the tuition fees for all official schools from Guozijian to the county school will be exempted, and I hope that everyone in the world who is interested in studying will not be frustrated by their ambitions because of their family background. As His Majesty once said when he apprenticed, there are tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy! ”

The cheers suddenly thundered, no matter what aspect of this matter, for these Qingliu scholars who have mastered the right to speak in public opinion, it is a great benevolent government.

Some people who are too dramatic even call the heavens and grab the ground, shouting that the Holy Son of Heaven is above, and the avenue is like a blue sky, bathing all the people!

After the scene calmed down for the time being, Xia Jingyun continued: "The second thing is that Tushan Academy does not assume any official duties, and Guozijian students, including any state and county school disciples, can enter the school as long as they pass the Tushan Academy's own entrance test. At the same time, all the expenses of Tushan Academy are paid by the household department, which is a little bit of His Majesty's heart for his teacher, and it is also the only preferential treatment that Tushan Academy enjoys, so you don't have any opinions, hehe. ”

After saying this, many people who originally represented the official school system and the interests of the national prison were also relieved and laughed.

Thinking that Xia Jingyun's words were about to end, he looked at the students sitting in the field who had passed the test of Tushan Academy, and said slowly: "Today's group of sages is complete, young and long Xianji, whether it is a talented person who has passed the academy assessment and is about to enter the academy to study, or all the sages who came to watch the ceremony, they are all outstanding among people, I have a question, I want to ask you to solve my doubts." ”

When everyone heard this, they instantly sat up straight.

With Xia Jingyun's ability and reputation, if he can really solve his doubts, I am afraid that he will be able to become famous all over the world in an instant.

Xia Jingyun said slowly: "You must be no stranger to history, the past dynasties, or the monarchs have seen a family, when everyone first gathers and creates, they can often work together, nothing is not careful, no one is not hardworking, even if it is difficult and difficult, it can also survive in death." ”

He paused, "Finally, the hard work of the people has paid off, the situation is getting better, but the spirit is gradually relaxed, and the people are becoming more and more slack." Then the pursuit of profit, infighting, decay, and decay. There are also those who are sluggish in government, there are also people who die in government, and there are also those who seek glory and disgrace. The so-called rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden. ”

His gaze swept over everyone present, and he said seriously: "I want to ask you, can there be a way, so that our current situation, the dynasty can jump out of this cycle of chaos, and after decades or a hundred years, we can still have such a thriving and united sunrise atmosphere?" ”

Looking at the stunned crowd below, Xia Jingyun whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "If not, I hope this question can make that day come later." ”

He didn't wait for an answer, and stepped down the platform, leaving a dumbfounded, thoughtful group of people.

Tu Shan Sanjie sat aside, looking at his back as he left, and Mr. Linxi said softly: "Qingtian Zhizhi, I still underestimated him after all!" ”

Although Mr. Wanlin and Mr. Kongbi did not speak, they looked at the young figure with sincere admiration for the first time.

——

The first year of Yongping in Great Xia, Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the court meeting, Xia Jingyun walked out, suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he stopped and looked back.

Behind him, there were hundreds of officials who stopped in unison and did not dare to take a step.

After the hundred officials, it is in the sun, the majestic main hall of the court.

In a trance, he seemed to see the thin and frail figure in the labor camp, carrying an earthen basket, staggering towards him.

Along the way, the thin and dirty linen clothes were replaced by ordinary long robes, put on the red robe of the champion, and finally froze in this prime minister's official uniform;

The fierce battle of Jiang'an City, the mountains and rivers of Yunmengzhou, the turmoil of Longshou Prefecture, and the coldness of Swift Prefecture are intertwined with the flowers of Zhongjing City.

Two years ago, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he became the righteous brother of Concubine De, a provincial relative, washed away the grievances on his body, and started his own ideal road.

Now, he seems to have reached the end of what others see, but he understands that the journey has just begun.

He smiled slightly, turned and strode away. (End of chapter)
