Not long after Huang Feihu's class, the preparations of Chonghou Hu and Chonghei Hu were finally completed, and the two personally led the army to the south to quell the chaos. Chonghou Hu had the experience of pacifying Yuan Futong, and at the moment he repeated his old tricks, holding Bai Xuan and Huang Yue, while co-opting those scattered surrounding princes, while inciting those rebellious princes to civil strife under the banner of justice. However, E Huan had already expected him to have this hand, so he made a lot of arrangements in advance, so that it did not have much effect. Rao is like this, the people and officials in the south are still panicked, and many princes are in chaos without a fight.

Chonghou Hu and Chonghei Tiger worked step by step, gradually suppressing E Huan. Ehuan has lost consecutive battles, and is currently defending with all his might, and he can't hold back. When the Son of Heaven learned the news in Chaoge, he said to the ministers: "The southern land is quelling the rebellion, and it is said that it can be waited!"

After the assassination of Mu Xin Jichen, except for Chonghou Hu, the other three princes of the southeast and west became the body of the guilty, and the snake went to its head, so the princes of the Quartet were also forced to gradually carry out reforms. Because Chonghou Hu had received the preferential reform policy given by the Son of Heaven in advance, instead of resisting, he sent people to take the initiative to cooperate with the promotion of the new policy in the north, so the progress was the fastest. And Jiang Huan Chu, the marquis of Dongbo, is a guilty body, and his territory has been cut, so he doesn't dare to say much. Zhong Yong had already been instructed by Zhang Zixing, and he worked tirelessly to carry out reforms, through the emancipation of slaves and the distribution of land under the New Deal, and snatched Ji Chang's original accumulated benevolent name from the bottom.

At this time, Jiang Ziya, Mei Bo, and Zhao Qi, the reform trio who inspected the implementation of the new policy in various places, finally returned to Chaoge, because the princes in various places were either overt or covert, and they were very resistant to the new policy, and some officials and former slave owners in the directly administered areas also came up with various countermeasures to embezzle the land and property of serfs in disguise, so this inspection found a lot of problems, and the implementation of the new policy was not as smooth as it seemed.

Prime Minister Shang Rong was originally a strong support for the sick body out of the mountain, recently infected with wind and cold, and even more ill, the Son of Heaven took pity on his hard work and high achievements, and specially allowed Shang Rong to return to his hometown, and ordered the civil and military members to listen to it, give the good land mansion, and ask the local officials from time to time.

Soon after Shang Rong returned to his hometown, as expected by the hundred officials, Ya Bianan was promoted to prime minister, and Jiang Shang, the acting prime minister, was promoted to the position of second minister, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of many officials, but they all knew that Jiang Shang was a close minister favored by the Son of Heaven, and after some people stood up against it, they had to give up. The other two major heroes of the reform, Zhao Qi and Mei Bo, were already doctors, so they could not be promoted in official positions, but were rewarded heavily, and they were given a considerable area of land and service life, and continued to assist the new Yaxiang to be in charge of the reform.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven made another will: the abbot Su has a good way to protect the goddess, and she is deeply rewarded, and she is given a good land mansion to show the grace of the king.

When the ministers heard this, they were surprised and also knew in their hearts: this month, the Son of Heaven has rewarded Su Hu for the third time. No wonder there are rumors in the palace: Concubine Yan is charming and unique, and she gradually won the favor of the Son of Heaven. Even Concubine Rui, who was originally loved by the Son of Heaven, seemed to be snubbed because of her father Shang Rong's "retirement". The Son of Heaven also wrote a poem for Concubine Yan: Looking back and smiling, the three palaces have no color.

This rumor is not groundless, recently, the Son of Heaven is often late in the court, after being advised by the Taishi, the surname Suo changed the original system of seven days of rest and two days to seven days and three days. For this reason, Empress Jiang has been admonished many times, but she has been punished by the Son of Heaven. Hearing such a will of the Son of Heaven, some well-intentioned people have begun to secretly think about how to befriend Su Hu - although he was once a traitor, but the officialdom is unpredictable, there is such a daughter who is favored by the Son of Heaven, God knows when the father will rely on the daughter to turn over?

Therefore, it is much better to be able to make friends when Su Hu is still in adversity, than to go to the knots after the fact that others are brilliant. Even if Su Hu can't turn over again, as long as he can let the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven say a few kind words on the pillow, the benefits will not need to be said.

In the following days, the Son of Heaven seemed to be more obsessed with beauty, and once he even made the ministers wait in the nine halls for almost a morning before the court, the Taishi Wenzhong frowned, relying on the royal gift of the country and the double whip to have the privilege of blaming the king, and went straight to the inner palace to admonish the Son of Heaven. Listening to the waiter, the Son of Heaven was still in Shouxian Palace at this time, Wen Zhong came to Shouxian Palace, but was stopped by the palace maid, saying that the Son of Heaven and Concubine Yan drank in the Star Picking Tower last night, and returned drunk. Wen Zhong was furious, and asked for a meeting with mana outside the Shouxian Palace, and even the courtiers of the Nine Great Halls heard the voice.

In the middle of the night, the Son of Heaven walked out of the Shouxian Palace with sleepy eyes, Wen Zhong showed an angry look, and invited the Son of Heaven to come to the court. The Son of Heaven had no choice but to follow Wen Zhong to the Nine Great Palaces, and the ministers saw that the Son of Heaven yawned again and again, showing his fatigue, and secretly shook his head.

Wen Zhong immediately stepped forward to advise: At present, the south is not peaceful, and there is still a lot of resistance to the new policies of the princes from all walks of life, so we must not abandon the government because of the greed for temporary pleasure. The Son of Heaven seemed to be a little unimpressed, but because of Wen Zhong's power and the double whip of the Dingguo Dynasty, he had to reluctantly praise Wen Zhong a few words.

In the next few days, the affairs of the Son of Heaven really improved a lot, but many courtiers who were good at observing words and emotions saw that the Son of Heaven was only a little afraid of Master Wen, and he did not really correct it.

At this time, Chonghou Hu sent an urgent report, and the current battle against Ehuan was still smooth, and he had the upper hand, and he couldn't get out of Ehuan's southern county. But at this time, the ghost Fang clan who had been dormant in the north for many years somehow suddenly began to attack the northern border of Dashang, and occupied a part of the small vassal states, which posed a serious threat to Chongcheng, the foundation of Chonghou Hu.

Wen Zhong was loyal and in charge of the military department, and when he heard such an urgent military situation, he hurriedly asked for battle. The Son of Heaven couldn't ask for it, and immediately issued an order to appoint Wen Taishi as the commander of the Northern Army, and led the army to the North to retreat from the enemy.

As soon as Wen Zhong led the army to leave, the Son of Heaven immediately reverted to his old ways, and became more greedy for Daji's beauty, and the decrees he imposed became more and more dissatisfied with the ministers, the most prominent of which was the promotion of a large number of officials from relatively humble backgrounds; for some small princes and officials who openly or covertly resisted reform, the Son of Heaven also lost his previous tolerance, and directly sent troops to exterminate and punish him, and forcibly implemented the new policy.

The direct executor of these decrees is naturally Jiang Shang, the up-and-coming bird who is in the limelight.

At this time, Fei Zhong, an official of the Ministry of Rites, routinely reported on the distribution and promotion of the Dashang Quarterly, and while receiving the praise of the Son of Heaven, he took the opportunity to present a pair of drawings.

The Son of Heaven looked at it and asked, "Is this painting a building?"

Fei Zhong said: "Your Majesty's wisdom is not wrong, this palace is majestic, Qionglou Yuyu, agate is built on the railing, the pearl is made into a beam, the night is bright, shining Ruicai, and the name is 'Lutai'." Your Majesty is the supreme of all saints, you are the son of heaven, and you are rich all over the world, if you don't build this platform, it is not enough to be spectacular. This is really Yaochi Yuque, Langyuan Penglai. This stage is large-scale, the palace is only afraid of difficult to build, you can choose a specific feng shui place to build, Your Majesty or banquet on the stage, or meditate on the national policy, sooner or later you can get the essence of the moon, prosperous dragon vein, so that I have a great business for thousands of years and thousands of years of eternal solidity!"

Zhang Zixing praised: "Fei Qing is really a loyal minister, the Ministry of Industry, and let's see how much time it takes to build this deer platform." ”

Bigan was promoted to prime minister and took over Shangrong's original Ministry of Officials and Rites, while the Ministry of Industry and Household Department were in charge of Yaxiang Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya turned out the drawings, frowned slightly, and said: "This platform is vast, building Qionglou Yuyu, carving the fence on the blue threshold, and the project is huge." If the work is completed, it is not ...... It must not be completed for more than ten years. ”

He wanted to exaggerate a little more and say that the time was decades, but after thinking about it, Fei Zhong has always been shrewd and cunning, since he presented this drawing, he naturally calculated the time of construction, and if he said it too outrageously, I am afraid that he will be exploited by the fat man. He was lucky, fortunately he got the weight of the Son of Heaven, and he rose all the way, and now he is sitting in the position of this big businessman, which is something that he never dared to think of before, since the Son of Heaven trusts himself so much, he can't live up to it because of some factors.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ziya added: "If you make more money, food, and husbands, such as three dings and two people, and a single ding to serve, etc., it can also greatly shorten the time." However, His Majesty has always been benevolent to the people, so he is afraid that it will cause the people to panic and the army and the people to complain, which is really undesirable. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard that he was disturbing the people like this, he couldn't help but mutter: "The widow has always loved the people, and it is never advisable for the widow to draw two out of three, and it is never advisable for a single person to go to the army. The widow enlightens the destiny of heaven, and the longevity is extended, and he is not in a hurry. This palace should not be built in the palace, it is better to choose a feng shui place in the southern suburbs, take Lutai as the center, build another palace, and it will be called Shouxian Palace. The preparation for the construction of this palace was undertaken by Fei Zhong. Passing on the widow's will, Fei Zhong was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, the main affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and promoted the East China Sea General Fang Wei to the middle doctor, specializing in the affairs of the "Dashang Quarterly". ”

The previous appointment was not enough, but the will of the later appointment of Fang Wei surprised the hundred officials, not to mention that Fang Wei was a general, he was originally a military general, with a military position, and well-informed people also knew that Fang Wei was the most powerful general under the command of King Pingling, why did he suddenly change to a civilian position at this time? Moreover, he was also in charge of such an important quarterly distribution.

Originally, some well-intentioned people coveted the quarterly magazine, the best place to earn political achievements, since they heard that Fei Zhong was transferred from the Ministry of Rites, but unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven immediately said a strange candidate.

Fei Zhong lowered his head, looking extremely deferential, and did not seem to be depressed by the loss of the director of information of the "Dashang Quarterly", when he heard that he was in charge of the entire Ministry of Industry, the fat face quickly slid a little surprise, suddenly thought of something, and shivered slightly, and bowed his head silently.

Can he not shiver? The fact is that this drawing of Lutai was given to him by the Son of Heaven last night, and every word he just said was also ordered by the Son of Heaven. Thinking of Jiang Huan's matter, the fat man inevitably felt a chill. The more the Son of Heaven promoted him to an official for this reason, the more he felt fear.

Of course, the "oil and water" of the Ministry of Industry is definitely much stronger than that of the Ministry of Rites, so for the "favor" of the Son of Heaven, he can only bow down and thank him.

When the civil and military officials heard that the Son of Heaven was going to build another palace, they couldn't help whispering. This deer platform is completely different from the star-picking building dedicated to meditating on the national policy, to put it bluntly, it is a place for amusement, and with the addition of another palace, it can be described as a huge project, and the palace is clearly built for Concubine Yan, it seems that Su Daji has a tendency to replace the queen.

Some clever officials have already thought that the Son of Heaven ascended the throne at a young age, worked hard to govern the country, worked hard all these years, became a martial artist, and obeyed the whole world, and the current situation of rebellion in the south has been brought under control, and the new policy has been fully rolled out. As soon as they thought of this, these officials immediately came out to echo this, saying that the Son of Heaven is unparalleled, even if the three emperors and five Yanjing are not too much, what is it to build a mere palace?

The Son of Heaven took the opportunity to make a decision: the new Shouxian Palace in the southern suburbs and Lutai were built by Fei Zhong, and it was completed within 15 years, and the construction of migrant workers was well paid.

When Daji learned that the Son of Heaven had built a new palace for her, she was even more proud and served Zhang Zixing wholeheartedly.
