Chapter 109: Two Good Things

Lu Pheasant secretly made up her mind at this time, if the beginning of fate was destined to be irreversible, then, with her intervention, the end of the tragedy might take a different path.

The Zhang family has her own great wisdom, and she who lives in the center should not be stumped by the love of her children, and everything she should do must be carried out according to the original plan.

She calmed down, returned to her former composure, and said with a smile,

"I see, you don't have to say it again.

It is a great thing to be promoted to a knight, but you say that you seem to have all kinds of helplessness.

On the day of exaltation, I will rejoice for you. ”

She lowered her head and thought about it, and personally sandwiched a piece of roasted goose meat for Zhang's family, and then said,

"The two sons of your family grew up under the watchful eye of His Majesty and me, and their character and personality are all good.

At present, both of them are arranged in Langguan, although they are just doing some rough work to guard the court, but they are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and they appear in front of His Majesty day and night, which can be described as a promising future.

After a few years of tempering, they will either be promoted to a Beijing official, or transferred to be a local commander, or sent an envoy to Fanbang for the imperial court, all of which are good errands for the glorious lintel, and they will not lose them. ”

Both of them are heroes among women, and they are friends who have shared hardships for twenty years, and they know each other very well, Zhang raised his eyes to look at her, he already understood, and thanked her for taking extra pains to explain, so he simply said cheerfully,

"I know the severity, don't worry.

No matter where we go, at least one of these two children will stay in the DPRK and continue to serve Lang and the country.

It's just that if we can't reach it, this uncompetitive child will point to you to take care of it. ”

"I will treat him like a nephew like Lu Chan and Lu Lu, and I will definitely let him become a talent."

She laughed at herself in her heart, the hand of creation overturned, everything is a dog, there is no difference, and she is trying to make a small space for Lu Juan's family to move in and out, even if it is the benevolence of a woman who indulges herself.

Thinking of this, her heart moved, and she urged Zhang to say,

"Hurry up and eat, and when you're done, take the rest of the fish in the kitchen, and I'll take you to meet someone."

Let's take you to meet Bo Ji, just leave you a way back, she thought to herself:

If you succeed in the end, if today is really the last time you will see you privately in this life, then the future Empress Dowager Bo and Emperor Wen of Han will probably be able to ensure that you return to your roots.

The goose-feather-like snow is blowing one after another, intermittently, and it has been raining for eight days before resting, and the whole Luoyang City is covered in silver, and the trees are on the streets, and there is nearly two feet of snow everywhere, which is already a white snow country.

With such a beautiful scenery, the officials of Luoyang are busier than ever, they shuttle back and forth between the Xiangguo Mansion and the palace, and they have no intention of appreciating the snow at all.

Because, since the second day of the snowfall, the imperial court ordered the Taishi Academy, which is responsible for monitoring and reporting disasters, twice a day in the morning and evening, to report the snow situation and grain prices in Luoyang and the surrounding counties in a timely manner, so as to coordinate the relief.

The first plan of the Han Empire was imminent, and the local officials of the counties and states had to send their officials to report to the court on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to temporarily count the pensions of the affected and widows and widows, as their own achievements in diligent government and love for the people.

Even so, the emperor still issued two edicts in a row, led by Xiao He, and all the people up and down were busy for more than ten days-

Resettled the victims whose houses were crushed by the heavy snow, instructed Dasi Nong to open a warehouse for relief, gave the poor who had lost their livelihood due to the snow disaster, two pieces of corn per person, and set up a ten-day porridge relief inside and outside Luoyang City.

Fortunately, despite the sudden arrival of the snow disaster, there was no large number of victims who froze to death and starved to death, nor did it provoke any civil uprising.

And after the snow cleared, Liu Ji finally ushered in a few good things that made him excited.

***

The first good thing is about the selection of the new Yan King.

There were only two courtiers in the first batch of Shangshu Baoju Lu Juan who was named king with a different surname and went to the country of Yan, but these two pieces of music were born, and the weight seemed to be a thousand catties, which was enough to shock the government and the opposition.

Because, these two people, one is Xiao He, and the other is Han Xin.

Liu Jiben had already expected Xiao He's pandering, after all, as a prime minister, he was the head of a hundred officials, and it was reasonable to take the lead.

Lu Xuan's qualifications are mediocre, and he rarely has the merits of being independent, and this time he played a small role in the expedition to Zang Di, purely relying on Liu Ji to deliberately accumulate military exploits for him.

In this way, in order to implement the new policy of "being crowned king because of his relatives", the emperor personally created a "pro" pet whose military exploits are no less than those of meritorious heroes, and has given enough face and steps to the ministers.

And Han Xin will actually try his best to protect Lu Juan, which is really unexpected.

In fact, Han Xin's political wisdom outside the battlefield is not high, and he has been eliminated by Liu Ji several times with lightning speed, seized military power, and even made a low-level farce such as Chen Bing's demonstration in Chu State.

Therefore, he can have such a clever act, which cannot help but make people think deeply:

This seems to show Han Xin's unconditional obedience to Liu Ji himself, and it also seems to mean that he has a deep understanding of the concept that the emperor can choose and appoint people independently, as well as the infinity of imperial power?

In the end of Liu Ji's life, his vigilance against Han Xin is deep and unforgettable, but looking at Han Xin's performance in the past six months and the signals released in it, it is enough to satisfy him:

It is impossible to solve doubts, but the bird has its feathers, and the beast has its feet, at least, it can be left untouched for the first time, as a rare beast that preaches the emperor's generosity, and raises it for the people of the world to see.

And the second good thing made Liu Ji even more overjoyed, that is, the fine work planted in the Xiongnu came with news again.

***

Liu Ji put aside the secret letter written in code and asked Chen Ping,

"It's all code words, and I'm too lazy to translate it, so you can just say it, what's the progress?"

Chen Ping said busily,

"The third team of spies sent a secret report, saying that a few months ago, Mao Dunshan Yu and a Han Dynasty envoy were at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and they had made a bloody alliance and had become a brotherly country.

The grassland was too big, and they were so busy rushing to the forest gathering that the ordinary herdsmen were waiting a long time to receive the news from the leader. ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Although Liu Ji faintly guessed that Liu Jing might have succeeded when he received the conclusive news at this moment, he was still overjoyed and shouted three times in a row, and said with emotion,

Liu Jing went to the grassland alone, with only a few carts of clothes, food and head jewelry, and talked about such a big thing.

Since then, I don't dare to underestimate the reader anymore, haha! ”

"The fur of a thousand gold, not the armpit of a fox. On the occasion of three generations, it is not the wisdom of a person. ”

Chen Ping saw the stitches and chimed in,

"The four seas are big, and there are many talented people like Liu Jing, but unfortunately they are scattered all over the place and are unknown.

How to bring all the talents of the whole country into His Majesty's hands requires careful planning by the imperial court. ”

"What you say is very true," Liu Ji stroked his beard and said,

"It seems that Liu Jing is also coming back soon, and he will notify the counties and post stations in the border areas that he will definitely meet the arrangements."
