Chapter 154: The First Imperial Meeting After Returning to Beijing
Early the next morning.
The morning light dews slightly, dispelling the faint morning mist that shrouds the sky.
Ten thousand rays of light shone on the rows of houses in Shenjing City, rendering the huge imperial city with a layer of gold.
At dawn, in the Qingqiu Palace.
The young man who woke up leisurely glanced at the girls who were sleeping deeply, quietly got up, came to the outer hall, and asked the palace maids to wait for him to put on his crown clothes, and then went out of the palace gate and went to the Taiji Hall accompanied by Gao Lishi.
"Bah, damn thief!"
Hearing the footsteps fading away, Zhu Yuyan opened her starry eyes, looked at a mess, and took a sip.
Seeing Bai Qing'er beside him who was still asleep and couldn't wake up, his heart suddenly became angry.
It's all these criminals who have caused this seat to be like this!
Thinking of this, this charming beauty raised her hand and slapped the round and straight place.
With a crisp sound, Bai Qing'er woke up suddenly, and subconsciously turned her head to see that Zhu Yuyan's powdery and frosty face was in front of her eyes.
"Master, Master?"
Bai Qing'er's breath of getting up when she was awakened instantly leaked, and her tone softened by seven points.
"Good apprentice, the thief is not here, I have to settle this account with you!"
Zhu Yuyan said with a sneer.
"Of course, in addition to you, there is also Senior Sister Zou......"
Not to mention the three daughters of Zhu Yuyan, in the Taiji Palace, with the arrival of Zhao Yu, the court meeting officially began.
"Go to court!"
In the majestic voice of Gao Lishi, the civil and military officials entered the palace in turn according to the official rank, bowed to Zhao Yu on the throne three times and bowed nine times, and the mountain shouted long live.
Looking at the familiar faces in the hall, Zhao Yu felt a little emotion in his heart and nodded slightly.
At the same time, in Zhao Yu's field of vision, there were several lines of small characters in regular script that ordinary people could not see.
[Due to the consecutive defeats of the armies of Qi and Burma, the national prestige has risen by 1,000 points, and the people's hearts have risen by 10 points! 】
[Because of the royal conquest, sweeping away the rebellion, repelling the enemy country, the emperor's prestige increased by 1000 points, and the courtier's loyalty increased by 10 points! ] 】

[Because of your strategic planning, command +2, military strategy +2, wisdom +1!] 】
[Earn 500 Glory Points!] 】
[Activate the national movement to "deter neighboring countries"! ] 】
[Deterrence of neighbors: Your own excellent military operations have made your neighbors jealous and dare not use their troops rashly. Positive effect: for two years, neighboring countries will not initiate war; Passive Effect: Within two years, the espionage activities of neighboring countries have been greatly increased! 】
This is a post-war summary......
Looking at the lines of system text, Zhao Yu's heart moved, and he called up the personal attribute panel.
[April 19th of the first year of Great Chu Yanfeng (spring)]
[Martial Arts 95 (Ancient Ingot Knife +3, formerly 54→64), Domination 79, Military Strategy 69, Political Strategy 82, Wisdom 89, Literature 91, Charisma 97, Physical Strength 100, Health 100, Age 16. 】
[Huangwei: 4300, Glory Points: 3772]
[Equipped with 1/1 Dicka, equipped with Martial Arts 0/3, Equipped with Destiny 0/1]
[(Purple) Jun Card: Changsha Huan Wang - Sun Ce, card skills: young and famous, heroic, good in the total horn, and the capital of the overlord. 】
[Martial Arts: The Emperor's Amazing Record; Light work: Wind and fire are really tricky. 】
Not bad!
Looking at his various attributes, Zhao Yu was quite satisfied.
In addition to military strategy, all attributes are basically above 80 points, and now he has gradually had a tendency to be a hexagonal warrior.
Looking at his 4,300 points of imperial prestige, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
In almost half a year, he had finally managed to unlock a small half of the Emperor's power to unlock the First Mandate of Heaven, which was far more than he expected.
It seems that there is still more war if there is a chance!
Gathering the thoughts in his heart, Zhao Yu said:
"All the ministers are exempt, let's be even!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers said in unison, and then stood up.
Zhao Yu glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall who bowed their heads and bowed their heads, and said:
"This time, our dynasty has won many victories, and it is all thanks to the hard work of Qing and others, and the soldiers have fought bloodily to achieve this achievement. As soon as the credit is due, the Ministry of War must cooperate with the Privy Council and draw up a charter as soon as possible! ”
The privy envoy Wang Pu and the right attendant Chen Yan of the military department came out one after another.
"The ministers obey."
"This matter is very important, don't let me wait for a long time."
Zhao Yu nodded, looked at Zhou Rui, the head of the household, and said warmly:
"When Wang Shumi and Chen Shangshu list the charter, Zhou Qing also has to ask the household department to prepare as soon as possible and prepare the gold and silver for rewarding meritorious officials. If the treasury is insufficient, come to me, and I still have some gold and silver in my inner treasury. ”
For his father-in-law, Zhao Yu's tone was quite gentle.
"There is Lao Sheng's concern, and Weichen is grateful."
Zhou Rui first came out to thank Zhao Yu, and then said cautiously:
"The treasury is sufficient, and the rewards of the three armies should be sufficient. It's just that Weichen is only a shallow learner, and it is a little difficult to preside over a business, and he also asks His Majesty to choose a right-hand man for the minister. ”
After Huang Jingming's incident, Zhou Rui's thoughts about his career have faded a lot, and his two daughters have been included in the palace by His Majesty, and they are quite favored.
The Zhou family became a relative of the emperor, which made Zhou Rui more cautious, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would not only tarnish the reputation of his two daughters, but also make His Majesty disgusted.
He was appointed by Zhao Yu as the head of the household department, and in Zhou Rui's view, it was just a move by His Majesty to catch ducks on the shelves in order to appease the ministers who had fallen to Huang Jingming in the past.
Now that His Majesty has returned to the dynasty victoriously and his prestige has risen greatly, it is time for him, the head of the household, to retreat bravely.
Zhao Yu glanced at Zhou Rui deeply, and instantly understood his thoughts.
If you don't even have a sixtieth birthday, you want to touch the fish?
I want to have peaches!
Now in this court, with the old Situ Zhang Kangnian and the former right attendant of the military department Gao Zhan and others returning to their hometowns, the prestige of the ministers is becoming more and more rare, in order to stabilize the situation in the court, Zhao Yu is reluctant to let this old man leave at this time.
"What Zhou Qing said, I remember in my heart. It's just that Lao Ji has a long ambition for thousands of miles, and he hopes that Zhou Qing will continue to share his worries in the court and shine for Dachu. ”
As soon as the voice changed, Zhao Yu asked again:
"However, I thought to myself, since Zhou Qing mentioned it at this time, I think there is a suitable candidate?"
As an old minister in the court and his father-in-law, Zhao Yu still has to give the face he should give.
"Back to Your Majesty, Zhuge Jin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is diligent and does not hesitate to die, and he is the talent of the pillars of the Great Chu in the future, and the minister asks His Majesty to transfer him to the household department to help the minister assist in the affairs of the ministry." Zhou Rui said respectfully.
During the time when Zhao Yu left Beijing, Zhuge Jin was temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Household to assist Zhou Rui.
During this time, Zhuge Ziyu's ability and character were seen by Zhou Rui, and he knew that this person was a great talent.
Zhuge Jin has a gentle temperament and can get along well with anyone, not at all as aggressive as his friend Yu Fan, so Zhou Rui admires him very much.
In addition, before Zhao Yu left Beijing, he arranged Zhuge Jin, who was only a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, into the cabinet, which also showed his trustworthiness.
Outstanding ability, gentle treatment, and trusted by His Majesty, such a person is liked by anyone.
Doing this by himself can be regarded as paving the way for Zhuge Ziyu in the future, whether it is His Majesty or Ziyu, he can see it. More importantly, he also indirectly helped his two daughters in the court.
Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly, glanced at Zhuge Jin, who was silent among the ministers, and asked lightly:
"Zhuge Qing, are you willing to go to the household department to do things?"
Zhuge Jin came out of the queue and said, "The minister obeys His Majesty's arrangement." ”
"Good! I like Qing's attitude of daring to do anything! Zhao Yu said in a deep voice, "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the waiter of the Ministry of Households, where is Zhuge Jin!" ”
Seeing Zhao Yu so solemn, Zhuge Jin trembled, took a deep breath, bowed to the ground, and said loudly:
"Minister Zhuge Jin, listen to the holy oracle!"
"Through Zhou Shangshu's recommendation, I promoted you to the right attendant of the household department and assisted Zhou Shangshu in handling the affairs of the household department! I hope that Qing will continue to work hard, don't live up to my expectations! ”
In just half a year, Zhuge Jin was promoted from a common man to the right servant of the household department of the third grade, and his promotion speed was so fast that it was rare even in the two-hundred-year history of the Chu State.
"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!"
Feeling the strong trust in Zhao Yu's words, Zhuge Jin was excited in his heart, raised the wat board above his head, and said loudly:
"Minister, never live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Zhuge Jin to step back.
Immediately, he looked around at the hundreds of officials in the court and continued:
"This time, I drove the expedition in person, and thanks to the help of two great talents, I was able to quickly quell the rebellion and repel the Burmese army. If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if it is wrong, it will be punished. These two people have made great contributions, and they are not enough to calm people's hearts. Colliers. ”
Gao Lishi, who was standing beside Zhao Yu, instantly understood, used his internal strength, and sang loudly:
"Xuan Jiaxu and Li Ru entered the palace to meet you!"
Not long after, under the guidance of two guards, Jia Xu and Li Ru came to the Taiji Palace.
"Caomin Jia Xu Jia Wenhe / Li Ru Li Wenyou, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!"
"Two flat."
As Jia Xu and Li Ru stood up, the eyes of the civil and military officials all converged on the two.
From the perspective of the hundred officials, the chubby round face of Jia Xu and the chubby round face were full of smiles, which made people feel good at first sight, compared with Li Ru Li Wenyou, who had a pair of hanging horns and a goatee under his chin, exuded a cold aura all over his body, like a poisonous snake hidden in the corner, which made people shudder.
"Promoted Jia Xu to be the Privy Counsellor of the Fourth Rank to assist Wang Qing in the relevant affairs of the Privy Council; Li Ru was promoted to the governor of the Sipin Spiegel Division of the Editorial Office, and the assistant He Baqing. ”
Zhao Yu looked at the two and said with a smile.
The Privy Council established after Zhao Yu took power was headed by the Privy Envoy, and consisted of the Privy Counsellor, the Privy Counsellor, and the Privy Counsellor, who were responsible for managing military affairs; The Jinyiwei Department is responsible for collecting military information, inspecting and arresting, and the Mirror Department is responsible for supervising officials at all levels to prevent corruption.
The responsibilities of the Spiegel Division and the Supervisory Yuan are largely the same, except that the Spiegel Division is in the dark and the Supervisory Yuan is in the light.
In the past, due to the lack of manpower in Zhao Yu's hands, He Bayun was responsible for all the affairs of the Jishi Mansion, which greatly increased his burden, and his work efficiency would inevitably be affected.
Now with Li Ru's assistance, he thinks it will be much easier, and the operation efficiency of the entire Jishi Mansion can also be greatly improved, officially playing its due role.
As a large number of heroes are summoned by Zhao Yu, He Bayun will gradually fall out of the first echelon.
According to Zhao Yu's thoughts, after Li Ru became familiar with the work process of the Jishi Mansion and made meritorious contributions, he was completely corrected and He Bayun was transferred to other positions.
As for Jia Xu, he also served as a lieutenant in history, and he is extremely familiar with military affairs, so he can help Wang Pu.
Jia Xu is a smiling tiger, if anyone despises him, he will pay an extremely heavy price in the future.
"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!"
Hearing Zhao Yu's placement of himself, whether it was Jia Xu or Li Ru, they were quite satisfied in their hearts, and after bowing to Zhao Yu one after another, they returned to the queue of hundreds of officials.
After arranging Jia Xu and Li Ru, Zhao Yu looked at the ministers in the palace, and his voice became solemn.
"Finally, I have a big deal."
"I think the ministers also know that the Jin State sent envoys to the court, ready to talk about peace with our dynasty and the Qi State, and temporarily suspend the military war."
As soon as Zhao Yu said this, the ministers in the palace had different faces, and they all turned their heads and ears.
Looking at the noisy scene, the imperial historian Chu Ziwen frowned, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Silence! Colleagues, don't lose your etiquette in front of you! ”
Seeing that a group of imperial historians looked at him one after another, a group of ministers hurriedly stopped, not daring to say anything more.
If these crows of the Supervision Yuan are recorded in a small notebook, then maybe one day they will not be able to eat and walk around, and they will be ruthlessly participated in by the other party......
"Cao Qing."
Seeing that the court had returned to calm, Zhao Yu looked at Cao Huan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Cao Huan held the wat board, walked out of the queue, bowed to Zhao Yushen, and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister is here."
"I will hand over the matter of welcoming the envoys of the Jin Dynasty to your Ministry of Rites, and you must do it beautifully, don't let the northerners find an opportunity to laugh at our court. In addition, the messenger told the soldiers in charge of escorting these envoys that they should not let the northerners get important information about our dynasty, and that they should go straight to Shenjing all the way, and that they must not listen to the words of the other party and take a detour. ”
Zhao Yu solemnly instructed.
Seeing Zhao Yu's serious expression, Cao Huan also understood in his heart that this matter was important, and hurriedly said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites will do a good job."
"Cao Qing's ability, I am still quite assured." Zhao Yu nodded and looked around at the ministers, "After the envoys of the Jin State come to the court, the Qing and others must show my Chu people's character and bones, and don't let the Jin people underestimate them." ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
The ministers responded one after another.
"That's all for today, I'm a little tired, let's retreat!"
Zhao Yu waved his hand, got up from the dragon chair and said.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Yu walked out of the Taiji Hall surrounded by a group of palace attendants and headed towards the Zihuan Palace.
I haven't been in Shenjing for more than a month, and I must have accumulated a large number of folds waiting for him to review and approve them.
In this room, not long after He Bayun and Li Rufang walked out of the Taiji Palace, they were about to go back to the official office to get acquainted with each other, when suddenly a slightly sharp voice came from behind them.
"Two adults, please stay."
Li Ru turned his head to look, but it was a young waiter walking briskly towards him.
And He Bayun, who was beside Li Ru, had already recognized the identity of the comer.
"I've seen a tall mink!"
It turned out to be the most trusted chamberlain next to His Majesty!
Li Ru suddenly realized, and hurriedly learned from He Bayun to bow his hand, and said in his mouth: "I've seen Gao Diao!" ”
Gao Lishi returned the salute, and Fang smiled and said what he meant.
"Two adults, Your Majesty asked our family to pass on a word, and let the two of you quickly go to the Purple Huan Palace to discuss state affairs."
He Bayun arched his hand in the direction of the Purple Huan Palace, and said solemnly:
"Since His Majesty has summoned him, how can this official and Lord Li not be honored? Grandpa Gao, please lead the way! ”
Not long after, under the guidance of Gao Lishi, He Bayun and Li Ru came to the outside of the Zihuan Palace.
"Two adults, wait, let's enter the hall and make a report."
After that, Gao Lishi walked into the hall, came to Zhao Yu, who was reviewing the folds, and said in a low voice:
"Holy Lord, Lord Horbalt and Master Li are already waiting outside the hall."
When Zhao Yu heard this, he put the pen on the pen holder and said:
"Let the two of them in."
Soon, He Batsheng and Li Ru were led to Zhao Yu.
"Ke Ni, Wen You, are you here? Lux, give a seat to the two of you, give tea! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Taking the tea from the waiter's hand, the two carefully put half of their butts on the round stool.
He Bayun asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty has ordered when he summoned his ministers and others to come?" ”
When His Majesty returned to the court, he privately summoned himself and Li Ru, the new governor of the Spiegel Division, to the front, thinking of the duties of the Governor's Office, and that something big must have happened.
Zhao Yu didn't speak, just glanced at Gao Lishi.
Gao Lishi understood, led all the palace maids who were waiting out of the palace, walked at the end, closed the door of the palace himself, guarded the door, and did not let anyone approach.
When there were only three monarchs and ministers left in the hall, Zhao Yufang spoke leisurely.
"I summoned the two of them for the Beijing camp."
said, the rumors that Nazhi Su Du Wei Chun Yu Qingchun bullied men and women in southern Xinjiang, and the rumors of corruption and greed in Beijing were briefly told to the two of them, and finally said:
"It's not a pity to die like this. However, if this person can be allowed to bend the law in Beijing, it can be seen that there must be someone behind him, otherwise there will be no channel to sell those greedy military food and ordnance. General Han Sheng had just been appointed governor of Jingying for a short time, and he was loyal and upright, so this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him. Naturally, I can trust the Imperial Doctor, but I can't trust the Supervisory Yuan. Therefore, I want the government to investigate this matter, and I want to see how many moths are hidden behind this prosperous Shenjing City! ”
In the end, Zhao Yu was already full of voice.
"If it is really as the Holy Lord said, the Editorial Office will investigate to the end and will not tolerate it!"
He Bayun and Li Ru felt a pang in their hearts and expressed their positions one after another.
Mo said that the Jishi Mansion is a sharp blade in the hands of His Majesty, even if it is not, He Bayun and Li Ru's attitudes towards corrupt officials are completely the same.
Slay them all!
Only if you kill hard, kill too much, those corrupt officials will be afraid, afraid, and will control their claws from stretching out!
"Okay, then I'll wait and see, waiting for your good news!"
Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction, picked up a gold medal from the imperial case, and handed it to He Bayun.
"The stakes are very high in this case, and I will delegate power to the Editorial Office. However, anyone involved in this case, regardless of official position, as long as there is a suspicion, can be interrogated first. If you dare to obstruct the affairs of the government, you will be punished with the same party! ”
Looking at the palm-sized wooden plaque in his hand engraved with the four golden characters of "Ru I am here", whether it was He Bayun or Li Ru, they all felt Zhao Yu's determination.
The Son of Heaven is jealous and hateful, this is the appearance of the Holy King!
Thinking of this, the two hurriedly leaned over to the ground and said in a loud voice:
"Minister, thank you for your Majesty's trust, and I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty, and then die!"
The previous chapter is still being blocked, so I can only wait for the editor to go to work tomorrow to lift the ban......
