Huang Cheng's death, Zhao Changqing didn't have much feeling.

The current Ministry of Rites is a champion of Chengping for ten years, before that, he has been in the Hanlin Academy to revise, and then he was put to the local government, Zhuge Liang saw that he worked hard, so he let him temporarily serve as the Ministry of Rites.

Zhuge Liang came to the Xuanzheng Hall and met Zhao Changqing.

The emperor said to others: "Huang Cheng has worked hard over the years, his funeral, you bother, after coming to the capital, please ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to go to mourn, after all, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for many years can be regarded as a small achievement." ”

Zhuge Liang said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Changqing looked at him and said, "You came to see me today, what is the matter?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Yuming gave birth to a son and wants to go back to Beijing to have a look." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, agreed to Xiao Yuming's request to return to Beijing to visit relatives, and then asked, "There are no problems at the border recently, right?"

Actually, even if there is, it's not a big problem.

Over the years, the Wei State has been continuously sending troops to the Jin area.

Of the five tiger generals alone, there are four in Jindi.

Zhao Changqing finally summoned Zhao Yun back.

After all, now in the army, in addition to the prestige of Chen and Xiao, Zhao Yun's prestige in the army is the highest, and with him in the country, he can control things.

Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming have been in Jindi for a long time and are familiar with everything there, so it is best for the two of them to stay in the border area.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no problem for the time being, but since today, the contacts between Duanguo and Liangguo have been quite close. ”

Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said: "This is easy to do, as far as I know, the only way to contact Duanguo and Liangguo is Dongding County, right? ”

Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty means to buy that city and county from Duanguo?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "Capture it, give him gold, silver and jewelry, it is to calm things." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "How many thousand taels do you need?"

Zhao Changqing said: "At most, five million taels, if you look at and talk to them, we will be responsible for cutting first and then playing." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and retired for the time being.

Tomorrow, Qin Hui and others, who are far away in Sanzhou and Jiudao, will enter Beijing to face the saint.

On the table in the Xuanzheng Palace, some of the political achievements made by the four of them in recent years are being placed.

How to say it, seeing this political achievement, Zhao Changqing was quite upset.

He let the people in the East Factory know a few days ago, so he went to Chudi to investigate and secretly visit.

Its purpose is to see what Yan Song, Qin Hui, Shi Chong, Cai Jing and others did in Emperor Chu.

Relying on this political achievement alone, it has reached the point where it is intolerable for the four of them not to be promoted.

Therefore, Zhao Changqing is eager to know whether this political achievement is true, and the most important thing is whether they have deceived their superiors and subordinates to carry out corruption.

There is no mediocrity earned for yourself.

In recent years, most of the functions of the system have been restored and can communicate with it, but there are still some new functions, which are still being continuously improved, and it will take some time.

The system has woken up for the most part, but the mediocrity is getting harder and harder to earn.

It seems that after the country is strong, if you want to be mediocre, you can't be mediocre.

Not to mention earning mediocrity.

Zhao Changqing is now counting on Cai Jing and these people.

I hope that they can give their strength and really engage in some corruption and bribery, and when the time comes, according to this merit, let them continue to be powerful and prosperous in Chudi, without affecting the current overall strength of the country, and they can also earn mediocre value for themselves, why not do it.

Gao Lishi said respectfully outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian, the deputy governor of Dongchang, is here. ”

Zhao Changqing opened his mouth and said, "Come in." ”

Gao Lishi made a gesture, and then said loudly: "Wei Zhongxian, deputy governor of Xuandong Factory, is here!"

The sound travels far and wide.

Wei Zhongxian was able to come to the Xuanzheng Palace.

He brought a secret report to the emperor, which investigated in detail what the four of them had done over the years, and after some argumentation, it was found that all four of them were Qing officials.

Qing officials?

Zhao Changqing questioned Wei Zhongxian and said, "Are you sure that you have already figured out this information?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this information is confirmed, even the subordinates still have doubts, in that place in Chudi, there are few people who can keep their hearts from corruption." ”

Zhao Changqing was a little annoyed in his heart, and said, "Okay, you can go down." ”

Wei Zhongxian retired.

After he finished handling government affairs, he came to the Imperial Garden and saw the queen playing with the three children of the crown prince Zhao Hongqing, the king of Qi Zhao Hongji and the princess Taiping.

Zhao Changqing felt very warm when he saw this scene.

He came to He Ning's side and said, "I went to Xu Jiao today. ”

He Ning let the three children play by themselves, let the maidservants around him watch, and then poured a cup of tea for the emperor, brought it to him, and said, "Is she willing to speak?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said, "I'm going crazy." ”

He Ning frowned and said, "How should this be?"

Zhao Changqing said: "Recently, you have been accompanying her more, I plan to let Chen Qingzhi destroy Duanguo in another half a year, so that they can dominate the world as quickly as possible." ”

He Ning said worriedly: "Will the Tang State send reinforcements?"

Zhao Changqing was also worried about this, but he had already expected all the situations, "The worst result is nothing more than that various countries send troops one after another, so this time, I let Chen Qingzhi serve as the commander-in-chief of the front line, and Huo Qubing serve as the vanguard, fight a blitzkrieg, and unify the country as quickly as possible." ”

He Ning said: "The concubine believes in His Majesty's decision-making, and at the same time, she also believes that General Chen Qingzhi will be able to win." ”

She is a woman, and in her usual state affairs, she can just listen to it, and she can't get involved too deeply.

She has her own style of doing things.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in the harem for many years and would have been in peace.

Zhao Changqing hugged He Ning's thin waist and said: "Everyone in the world says that it is good to be an emperor, but in fact, being an emperor is the most tiring. It's better to be a rich man than an emperor. ”

He Ning didn't know how to reply, so he chose to remain silent.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Changqing summoned Yan Song and the other four in the Chengde Palace.

The four of them entered the temple together, each with great confidence.

After all, he has made a career in Chudi.

Zhao Changqing asked the four and said, "I heard that you have done a good job in Chudi, and today, you can talk to your ministers about what you have done in Chudi." ”

The four of them bowed to the emperor together, and then spoke one after another.

The more Zhao Changqing listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He was a little tired of these four people now.

According to the information obtained by Dongchang, the four of them have been diligent and conscientious over the years, and have not embezzled more than half of the silver.

That is to say, these four people have really not earned a little mediocrity for themselves over the years.

That's a bit of a fuck.

You are all corrupt officials recorded in history!

Why aren't you greedy!

Could it be that I'm using you in the wrong place?

Thinking of this, he made a plan to let them serve in the Sixth Department, which should be able to earn some mediocrity, right?

Now we are about to enter the stage of dominating the world, there is no mediocrity, there is no system to help, how can this work?

After thinking about it, he made this decision out of the question, and said, "I remember that the four of you have worked hard and made great achievements, and in the future, you will serve in the imperial court, and after thinking about it for a few days, I decided to promote you to be confidential officials of various ministries."

Yan Song, you are the champion of the golden branch in the eighth year of Taichu, over the years, you have made great achievements in Chudi, so that the people of all provinces have been deeply benefited by it, and I have specially named you as the secretary of the ministry.

Qin Hui, I named you as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as an explanation for the sweat you have left over the years.

Shi Chong, served as the head of the household.

Cai Jing served as a waiter in the Criminal Department.

The original waiter Lang Shangshu is basically old, so let's go home and retire quietly!"
