Chapter 163: Zhao Yu: Hold it down for the time being, don't lose my face in front of the Jin envoy!
Du Yunshan walked out of the imperial city, looked back at the towering and continuous buildings behind him, and exhaled heavily.
Through his sleeve, he touched the stack of papers hidden in it, and the horror in his eyes resurfaced.
In the imperial palace, in front of the Son of Heaven, he hid his surprise very well, but when he left the imperial city, he was still shocked when he recalled what he had roughly seen on this paper.
The above content is something that ordinary Mo family disciples can't imagine, but this young genius not only thought of it, but also made further conjectures by the way, and even this conjecture has a high probability of being realized!
Thinking of this, as the most outstanding disciple of Chu Mo's generation, Du Yunshan couldn't wait to return to his residence to verify it.
"Senior Brother Du, have you seen the Son of Heaven of the Chu Kingdom?"
"Senior brother, didn't the little emperor embarrass you?"
Back at his residence, several disciples of the Mo family saw him coming back, and hurriedly surrounded him and began to inquire about the passage of the palace.
This time, with Kan Leng's escort delegation to Shenjing City, in addition to Du Yunshan, the personal disciple of Chu Mojuzi, there were also more than a dozen talented Mo disciples who came, on the one hand, to give Du Yunshan a hand, and on the other hand, when the time was right, to give lectures in the city and accept apprentices, and spread the Mo family doctrine.
"Your senior brother and I are even disciples of the Mo family, but we have no merit and fame, and we are no different from ordinary people, the other party is the lord of a country, how can I surrender my identity and find trouble with me?"
Du Yunshan explained with a smile, then straightened his face and asked:
"Seeing that you are so idle, could it be that today's homework has been done? You must know that if the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad. If you talk about the Mo classics, you can't even compare to ordinary people, so what kind of face do you have to call yourself a disciple of the Mo family? ”
When a disciple of the Mo family heard this, he smiled and said: "Senior brother said that it was funny, although we don't have Senior Brother's thorough grasp of my Mo family classics, but after following Master Tian for a few years, it can be regarded as a slight gain, how can it be that even ordinary people can't compare?" ”
A few people next to him nodded their heads, and their approval was fully revealed.
"You don't have to be proud of learning a skin, you must know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are buildings outside the buildings!" Du Yunshan said, took out a pile of paper from his cuffs, and handed it to them, "Take a look first, can you understand?" ”
Several people took it suspiciously, and looked carefully under Du Yunshan's gaze.
Soon, a burst of exclamations sounded in this small courtyard.
"The scenery arrives, there is an end at noon, and the scenery is long. Say it on the end. I have read this sentence in the Mohist classics, but I never thought that it could be applied like this! ”
"It's quite appropriate for the other party to call it 'small hole imaging'."
"Also, when I was a kid, I used to grind ice cubes into a mirror-like shape to make a fire. But combining this phenomenon with 'small hole imaging' is really incredible! ”
"If two convex lenses are stacked on top of each other, can you really see the distant scene?"
"Just give it a try and you'll find out!"
These Mo disciples talk about me and talk non-stop.
Suddenly, someone raised his head and asked Du Yunshan, "Senior Brother Du, could it be that after you entered the palace, you met my Mo family seniors and got such a subtle design?" ”
Du Yunshan shook his head and smiled, pointing to the paper in their hands.
"Look, whose name is on this last page?"
Everyone hurriedly found the last drawing and looked to the bottom.
I saw a bright red seal printed in the lower right corner of the paper, with four big characters "Treasure of the Phoenix" written on it.
Yanfeng is the name of the year after the Son of Heaven of Chu ascended the throne; And treasure is the royal name for the seal.
The person who can use the name of a country as the content of the seal has no one else except the young son of heaven.
"This is the handwriting of the Son of Heaven of the Chu State?"
Realizing this, these Mo disciples who came to Shenjing with Du Yunshan looked at Du Yunshan in surprise.
"That's right," Du Yunshan said, "The design of this 'clairvoyant mirror' was drawn by His Majesty himself, and it was also the first task that His Majesty gave me Chu Mo. ”
"But Senior Brother, this thing is extremely easy to make."
A disciple of the Mo family couldn't help but say:
"Just find two crystals that meet the required polishing level, and then find two bamboo tubes to put together, and it can be completed quickly. Such a simple job, why did Your Majesty hand it over to us Chu Mo to do? ”
"A finely crafted clairvoyant, find a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship, don't care about the length of time, you can naturally make it. But what His Majesty wants is a clairvoyant that can be mass-produced, has stable performance, and preferably can mark the distance. You say, who else can do this except my Mo family? ”
Du Yunshan's tone was full of pride.
In terms of attainments in manufacturing equipment, the sum of the other schools is not enough for the Mohists to fight with one hand.
The exquisiteness of the Mohist equipment is well known to the world.
"Everyone has also seen that Your Majesty is quite concerned about my Mo family." Du Yunshan looked at the Mo family disciples in front of him, and said with a little excitement: "And this thing is the test that Your Majesty gave to the Mo family, as long as it can be completed, then my Mo family can gain Your Majesty's trust, and the doctrine of the Mo family can also spread in the Chu State." Ladies and gentlemen, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for my Mo family, don't miss it! Let's work together to complete it as soon as possible and report it to Your Majesty! ”
There was another layer of consideration in his mind.
Before leaving the palace, His Majesty once said that in a few days, there will be changes in the court of the Chu State, and after that, he will take office as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works.
Although His Majesty said that he was not in a hurry, he could not be in a hurry, but should complete the task entrusted by His Majesty as soon as possible.
He must come up with the results as soon as possible for His Majesty to see!
At this moment, Du Yunshan's heart was very clear.
He's got to get results quickly, preferably as quickly as possible.
Although the young man did not set him any deadline, nor did he ask him how he had to be, he even said that he should not be in a hurry and take his time.
But Du Yunshan also knew that the patience of these people in high positions was extremely limited.
What's more, as the head of a country, Your Majesty has every opportunity, such as "clairvoyant mirror", such as small things, will only pay attention to a moment, and after a long time, it will be put in the back of your mind.
Therefore, in order for His Majesty to remember this matter, remember himself, and remember the Mo family, he must come up with results as soon as possible.
It's better to do it yourself before you take office!
Just when Du Yunshan was confidently preparing to complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Yu as soon as possible, Zhao Yu, who had been talking about it in his heart, was not in a good mood at this time, and it could even be said that it was very bad.
"There is one right attendant in the military department, three staff members, seven directors, three staff officers in the Beijing camp, two staff members in the household department, and four directors...... There are 20 officials who are above the fifth grade alone, and there are 20 people involved in this case! Zhao Yu shook the list in his hand and laughed angrily, "So, I also want to thank that Captain Chunyu." If it weren't for him, how could I have found so many rats! ”
In the Zihuan Palace, looking at the furious Zhao Yu, Di Renjie, He Bayun and other officials in charge of the Ministry of Affairs and the Criminal Department bowed down in unison, and said, "Please calm your anger." ”
"How do you let me calm my anger!"
Zhao Yu slapped his palm on the imperial case, and scolded with anger on his face:
"It's really a shame for me, this time, most of the military department is involved! Tell me, how do you calm my anger? After I disposed of Huang Jingming, but for the sake of the faces of the ministers, I let go of those remaining parties, hoping that they could reform themselves and do things well for the court, but what was the result? It's been less than half a year, and I have been given such a hand, and I have all my kindness as donkey liver and lungs! If I had known this, I should have cut down all these rats by then! Anger? Good! Come, Huaiying, tell me how I should calm my anger? ”
Di Renjie, who was named, shrunk his neck in fright and didn't dare to say a word.
This is not to blame him, when Huang Jingming was eradicated by Your Majesty, I Di Huaiying had not yet entered the court as an official, so I shouldn't be asked if I want to ask......
The rest of the crowd watched their noses and noses, and no one dared to interject at this time.
I didn't see that Your Majesty was angry, what is the difference between opening your mouth at this time and looking for death?
After scolding, Zhao Yu felt a little smoother in his heart, sat down, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Zhang Qing, your Dali Temple, together with the Jishi Office, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, handle this case together, those who should be arrested are arrested, and those who should be killed are killed, you have to see which one dares to stretch out his claws after this time!"
Hearing Zhao Yu's murderous words, Zhang Chao, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't help shrinking his heart, and hurriedly agreed, and then asked cautiously:
"The minister's decree is just Your Majesty, so there will be no one in charge of the military department."
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand depressedly and knocked on the table.
Not really.
Since Zhang Liuqi, the original secretary of the Ministry of War, was dismissed and investigated, he has not reappointed the person in charge of the Ministry of War, and the affairs of the Ministry of War have been temporarily taken care of by Lu Yi'an, the left attendant, and Chen Yan, the right attendant, is assisting on the side.
Now Lu Yi'an is still at the Zhenguo general Guan Haocang, and has not yet returned to Beijing, and with the clarity of the case, the right attendant Chen Yan has become the highest-ranking official involved in the Chun Yuqing case and has been arrested and imprisoned.
"Issued an edict, let Lu Shilang return to Beijing first, as for the few days before Lu Shilang returns, let Jia Xu take care of the affairs of the military department for the time being."
Zhao Yu thought about it for a long time and finally made this decision.
The scope of responsibilities of the Privy Council overlapped with the Ministry of War, and after Wang Pu was forced to recuperate by Zhao Yu, Jia Xu temporarily led the affairs of the Privy Council and did a good job.
This sheep is also released, and a group of sheep is also driven, so don't bother the two masters, let Jia Wen and the way take care of the affairs of the military department.
Anyway, with the wisdom and means of this smiling tiger, he should be able to properly handle the affairs of these two departments.
This Jia fox is really reused by His Majesty!
Hearing Zhao Yu's arrangement, Li Ru, who was Jia Xu's friend, sighed in his heart.
Han Fanghai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, thought more.
He puffed himself up in his heart and said:
"The minister dared to ask Your Majesty, will the disposal of so many officials at once affect the operation of the government?"
"Han Qing rest assured." Zhao Yu snorted coldly, "In this world, three-legged toads are hard to find, and there are two-legged people who want to be officials!" These bastards don't want to do it well, some people want to do it well! Han Qing rest assured that I will issue an edict in the near future, and then recruit and raise talents in various prefectures to supplement it. ”
"Your Majesty said this, and the minister was relieved."
Han Fanghai said as he retreated into the queue.
Zhao Yu's eyes swept over everyone, and he said a little impatiently:
"What else do you have to say, don't say anything else, this case is decided."
Facing Zhao Yu's gaze, Li Ru took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a question." ”
"Speak!"
Zhao Yu glanced at Li Ru, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, now that the envoys of the Jin Kingdom are still in the Shenjing City, if they make a big move, will they let the other party know about this matter, so as to look down on our dynasty?" If this is the case, then the other side will definitely take the opportunity to exert pressure when the two sides negotiate in the near future. In the humble opinion of the ministers, it is better to detain all the people involved in the case first, and wait until the negotiations with the Jin State are completed and the Jin envoy leaves, and then deal with them. ”
Zhao Yu asked outside the hall: "Gao Lishi, when will the Jin envoy go to the Hajj to see him?" ”
From outside the temple came the voice of Colliers.
"Your Majesty, Jin envoy Feng Datong will enter the palace to meet at the Japanese court."
Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay, just according to what Wenyou said." Suppress this case for the time being, so as not to lose my prestige in front of the Jin envoy. However, you have shown me all the edict and prison, if someone is killed in it, or robbed by gangsters, then I am the only one who asks! ”
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and said in unison: "Ministers, obey Your Majesty's orders!" ”
…………
June 20 of the first year of Yanfeng, sunny.
Chenshi.
Feng Datong, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, was already waiting in a small hall outside the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City with the deputy envoy.
Inside and outside the palace, even at a distance of no more than three meters from them, there were standing respectful but guarded palace forbidden troops.
This made Feng Datong and his little friends laugh in their hearts.
This monarch and minister of Chu can only be arrogant in the face of weak and small countries such as Burma and Qi, and it is not necessary to tremble and be cautious against a Central Plains power like my Great Jin.
Didn't you see that even when they went to the toilet, this Chu State was eager to send a forbidden army to keep an eye on them?
Speaking of which, this Chu State is indeed strict with their defenses.
Since getting off the boat, the Chu general surnamed Kan has taken them all the way south, and only stayed at the post station along the way.
I proposed to go into the city to take a look at the customs of Da Chu, but I was directly ignored by the old oilman.
As soon as he thought of this, Feng Datong felt a little blocked in his heart.
He even felt that sending that guy to escort them was deliberate by the Chu State!
In Feng Datong's cranky thoughts, time passed slowly.
The two waited for almost half an hour before Feng Datong received a notice from the chamberlain: The Son of Heaven has finished dealing with today's government affairs, and invites the Jin envoy to enter the palace to meet.
So, the two of them came out of the side hall, and under the guidance of a small yellow door, they came to the front of the Taiji Hall under the "escort" of dozens of guards.
For the Taiji Palace, the ministers of the Jin State are also quite familiar.
Since the Taizu of Chu State set the capital of Shenjing, all the Chu emperors of all dynasties held court meetings in this hall, and almost all the envoys of the Jin State also met the emperor of Chu here.
In the past two hundred years, there have been all kinds of alliances, negotiations and wars.
Standing in front of the door of the Taiji Palace, Feng Datong glanced at the deputy envoy who was a little nervous, and the old god was there to straighten his clothes.
Today, let this envoy show the little emperor of Chu the wind and snow in the north!
