The Holy Emperor is not a person who can only fight and kill, since ancient times, kings may need to be superior in force to fight the world, but defending the country requires unparalleled power and strategy

This time, the three people he sent were all carefully selected, and they were all disciples of their own families.

He Jiangqiao, formerly known as Jiangqiao, because of his gratitude to He Huiming for the grace of his encounter, recognized He Huiming as his father-in-law, and is now the deputy capital of the imperial history, this time he went to the Chu family mansion in Chang'an.

Duan Zhiming, originally the Zhongshu who had the best chance to take over as prime minister except for Lu Ziang, after Lu Ziang admonished himself, he became a hot figure, and this time he went to the Qin family's mansion. At the same time, he also married a distant relative of the Chu family.

Fang Wang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also married to a distant relative of the Qin family, but this room is too far apart, so there is no relative, although there is such a relationship, and the upper Qin family has indeed made a lot of efforts. But as time went by, there was no movement, and it faded. This time, he went to He's house.

Fang Wang didn't have any great skills, and he wasn't an extremely smart person.

Reading is not something that can draw inferences, and he can't even understand that the Buddhists see the mountains as mountains and the water as water.

He was dressed in an extremely regular manner, with no room for the slightest wrinkle in his official uniform, and he wore a pair of cloth shoes all day long, no matter how his family persuaded him, he was not moved at all.

Because in the early days of the Holy Dynasty, due to the waste to be rebuilt, production, economy, etc. had just started, and many materials were scarce, the founding general wrote to the Holy Emperor and issued an order.

Officials of the DPRK and China, above the rank of scholar, could wear brocade shoes, wealthy merchants and servants could only wear cloth shoes, and ordinary civilians could only wear straw sandals.

Although the rich businessman to the servant said that they were all cloth shoes, there were dozens of grades of this cloth, and the rich businessman could only wear cloth shoes that were a little better than straw sandals, no matter how rich you are.

If they are found to be unruly, they will take off the flower feathers for the officials, cut off their feet and steal their property for the merchants, and if they are for the people, their children will wear them, and their parents' feet will be cut off, and their parents will wear them and their bwill be stripped of their cheeks.

Although since then, both agriculture, productivity, and commerce have made great progress. This decree has already existed in name only, and the Holy Emperor only had this decree for the better distribution of resources, so that the people are greatly rich, and even the common people can afford to wear cloth shoes, so what is the reason for prohibiting it?

But he is the Son of Heaven, and his successor can abolish it after he dies, but he can't do it himself, he can ignore it, but he can't abolish it. Because he is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven.

Fang Wang couldn't stop most people, but he and his family strictly followed this law, although no one cared anymore.

said that he was pedantic, he ridiculed each other, scolded others for not knowing etiquette, how could civilians be able to wear cloth shoes?

Even at several anniversary celebrations of the founding ceremony and the ceremony to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, he bluntly said that the clothes of the Holy Emperor and the crown did not conform to the etiquette. Although the Holy Emperor was a little annoyed, he had nothing to say, so he could only find the people of Qin Tianjian to choose a good time again, and then go back to order his clothes.

There is only such a person, the Holy Emperor clearly knows that he has an inextricable relationship with the Qin family, so he dares to still give him some real power.

Although the people of Zhongshu are able to participate in the discussion of state affairs and major events. But when Lu Ziang was there, how could he have room for Duan Zhiming to speak, and he was basically a vacant position.

As for the Inspectorate, it is impeachment and supervision. And Du Yushi is the henchman of the Holy Emperor, who to impeach and who to supervise is decided by the Holy Emperor, and he is a deputy imperial envoy of the capital, and he is completely hollowed out.

The three of them received the order and had different thoughts.

He Jiangqiao is okay, his father-in-law has already informed him that he has already retreated, and he only needs to be different this time.

Duan Zhiming was also extremely happy, he felt that the Holy Emperor was dizzy, the Qin and Chu families already had a close relationship, this time he went to get acquainted with each other and ventilated, and in the future, he would not be in the two families like a fish in water.

Fang Wang didn't think so much, he knew that the Qin and Chu families were dizzy, they didn't respect the Son of Heaven, and they wanted to bully the monarch, and his own purpose this time was the same as the task given by the Holy Emperor, to persuade the He family.

Although the He family does not say that there are many people now, the situation is much worse than before.

Since He Jinghuai "bullied" Xu Chang'an, King Jin and Father-in-law Hao have "taken care" of his family to varying degrees.

Now the Han family of the four major families has directly rebelled on the surface, which has discouraged many people who originally wanted to get close to the four families, as for the previous protégés and the like, not to mention that they themselves are unwilling to come, even the four families do not want them to visit frequently and be caught in pigtails, after all, if they are safe and sound in the court, they may be able to help slowly and speak in the future.

Fang Wang's official uniform was straight today, and a pair of cloth shoes were white.

Out of the sedan chair, he walked to the door.

Before I could knock on the door, the door slowly opened.

He stared intently, except for some miscellaneous servants, an old man sat in front of the lobby, dressed in plain cloth clothes, looking at the dead tree in front of the door.

He Huiming, who was half black and half white, sat on the steps, looking up at a few sturdy leaves, although they had withered and yellowed, they still insisted on staying on the tree.

As soon as the wind blew, the few leaves of the trees fell.

He Hanming looked at the middle-aged man in the official uniform who was dressed straight, the old man stood up and bowed gently: "The grass people meet Lord Shilang." ”

Fang Wang hurriedly helped him up: "Old gentleman, please get up quickly, the old gentleman was also in the common place back then, and he did a lot of things for the people of the world." This is a gift that students dare not accept. ”

He Huiming sighed and sat down on the steps again.

He looked at the tree and suddenly said, "This tree, after the winter, did not expect spring to come, but it is gone." ”

Fang Wang looked at the old man and did not speak.

"People are old, the tree has already fallen, this leaf should also fall, another day the new owner of the house comes in and replaces the new tree, always standing with a dead face, it is not interesting. ”

Fang Wang was a little surprised, but he also knew what He Xuanming meant.

He walked to the tree, looked at the withered tree carefully, and then lifted his official uniform, for fear of getting a little ash, and squatted down.

The ceremonial attendant, who had always been known for his pedantry, slashed his hand at the base of the tree and raised his head.

"This tree is always out of place in this yard, but it is not unsaved. There are several good places of soil near Chang'an, and the roots of this tree are not completely dead, so take a piece and in a few years, it will be able to sprout again. ”

He Hanming stared at this waiter of the Ministry of Rites, his eyes were a little moist.

"Can the old tree really rejuvenate?"

Fang Wang smiled lightly: "As long as you take root in the earth and understand the sky, there is hope." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "I understand what Mr. means, the roots of the tree change places, under the blessing of God, it will never be bad." ”

"As long as people are there, everything is still there, isn't it?" he added again.

He Huiming raised his head abruptly and looked at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

Then he took out an envelope from his cuff and handed it over tremblingly.

"This, some of my protégés, in that place in Qiongzhou, the mountains and rivers are good, and the Holy Emperor can go around more if he has nothing to do. The things on this paper, the first thirty-six, hope that the Holy Emperor can use it, and if he can't use it, he will let it go. The latter ones, everything depends on the will of God. ”

Fang Wang took the piece of paper with both hands, solemnly as if he had accepted the official seal.

"What are the plans of the old gentleman?"

He Huiming lightly arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the waiter to say a few more kind words, the old man is old, don't ask for anything else, I hope to have a small house at the foot of Chang'an, a few acres of land, and enjoy your old age in peace." ”

"Also, my grandson was negligent in discipline before, so it is better to educate one or two more. ”

Fang Wang bowed deeply: "What the old gentleman wants, Fang Wang will do his best to accomplish." As he spoke, he glanced at the tree again, sighed, and turned around and strode out the door.

......

The Imperial Study.

The Holy Emperor looked at the piece of paper, thought about it, tore it in half, threw it in the air, and then with a little finger, the half of the paper turned into ashes.

In the second half, the Holy Emperor was directly handed over to the Criminal Department. The attitude of the Holy Emperor has been released, as for how to check and what to do, they all know it in their hearts.

The Holy Emperor walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and unfolded a map.

He looked at the four places on the map that were circled in black, and finally the tip of the pen clicked, and the place in Qiongzhou had an extra touch of red.

There is a recommendation this week, and I ask for a variety.

There are a little updates in February, and there are still interruptions from time to time, because there are many festivals, at least 3,000 words a day in March.

In a few days, a list of official positions and functions will be made available so that it can be read.

However, you can also learn about the official positions in the Ming and Qing dynasties first, which is basically the same as that.
