Chapter 74: Dark Tide
Hongyi listened to Han Banxian's prediction, and was shocked, knowing that the situation was complicated now, and under the calm sea on the surface, there was a turbulent dark tide, and there was a possibility of treason and invasion by foreign enemies at any time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Long live Lord, don't worry, the old man thinks that if you want to ensure that everything is fine, you have to send an invitation to the Scimitar Clan now, apply to the Scimitar Clan for an alliance, let the Scimitar Clan become our allies, sign an offensive and defensive alliance treaty, and let the Scimitar Clan turn from enemies to friends. Han Banxian said.
"I know, I will arrange it, does the gentleman have any new discoveries?" Hongyi asked.
"It's not there for the time being, if there is a new discovery, the old man must tell the emperor. Han Banxian said.
"Very good, come on, I'm going back. Hongyi commanded.
The little devil came in from outside and wanted to help Hongyi, Hongyi said: "Little devil, I don't need you to help me yet, wait for some time." Although I am a long-lived lord, I am not yet 10,000 years old, so I will not be too old to walk. ”
"Haha, Long live the old man speaks funny, which makes the old man feel very relaxed. Han Banxian said.
"As long as you feel that I am not unattainable, it means that I am still a king close to the people, if you feel that there is pressure in front of me, then, I should think carefully about what I have done wrong, if I find it myself, of course, I will change it immediately, if I can't find it, I need the people around me to remind me. I need to remind me often that my country will be stable, and you will be happy, and if my people are happy, you will also be happy. Hongyi said.
"Yes, Long live Lord is right, since ancient times, there must be a rule of chaos. In today's prosperous era, the national strength is getting stronger, foreign enemies dare not invade, and the traitorous parties do not dare to brazenly rise up to resist, although there is a turbulent dark tide, but we have the protection of the sky, not afraid of the enemy's invasion, but to wipe out all the remnants of the enemy, so that they have no place to die. Han Banxian said.
"Long live the Lord is a generation of Ming Jun, the little devil often listens to folk news in the restaurant tea shop, and gets appreciation from the old man's mouth The words of the emperor today show that the old man has experienced the old dynasty and reached the current era. The little devil said.
"What I want is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and if I want nothing else, that is, to expand the territory, if I can't guarantee the happiness of my subjects, it is better not to expand, and to expand the territory will inevitably recruit troops, increase military spending, increase military spending, and actually deprive my subjects of happiness. I will divide the money for the expansion of the army among my subjects, so that their lives will be better. During my reign, I will never expand the army, nor will I increase military spending. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the tax burden and make the people happier. Hongyi said.
"Long live the old man's Hong Zhi, the old man still has a few years to live, as long as the old man can still breathe, the old man will be extremely worried about the emperor, and he will die with all his might. Han Banxian said.
"Sir, don't say such things, sir, from the dynasty of my father, I was framed by traitors, and my father was deceived by traitors and made wrong decisions. The old man does not care about the past suspicions, does not hold grudges, only remembers the good of the previous dynasty, abandons the past suspicions, for the Central Plains country, abandons personal honor and disgrace, and is dedicated to assisting me in governing the world, Mr. has made great contributions to the Central Plains country, I am very aware of this, I hope that Mr. will be old and strong, and continue to serve the Central Plains country, which is the blessing of the common people, and the blessing of me. Hongyi said.
When Han Banxian heard this, he burst into tears, cried, and said: "Very good, the old man has lived for most of his life, and now half of his body is in the loess, I didn't expect that the old man thought about it so thoroughly." The old man is old, and he doesn't want anything else, just a good name. As the saying goes, people have left a name, geese have left a voice, the old man was wronged, hid in the mountains, and couldn't see anyone, I wanted to live my life like this, but I didn't expect to meet Mingjun, and I could go out of the mountain to continue to serve Mingjun, which is really a big eye. ”
Hongyi saw Han Banxian crying, calmed down for a while, and glanced at the little devil, the little devil understood, so he said: "Long live Lord, it's time to go, there are still many things waiting for the emperor to deal with." ”
Han Banxian also stopped crying, raised his tearful face and said, "Long live Lord, go, the old man will observe the hexagram again, and when there is new news, he will report it in time." ”
Hongyi couldn't wait to leave, he comforted a few more words, and then left the Zangjin Pavilion, went to the upper study, checked the chapters from all over the place, reviewed them, and then unfolded the list of officials, circled a little bit on it, and thought, these officials, seeing that the wind is not right, some have left the Hutu Group, and they have also drawn a line with the queen, I am afraid that there are still Xia San's people, maybe, it seems that some of the officials need to be cleaned up, thinking like this, I feel that it is necessary to do this. After all, just like a person's body, if you find a thorn on your body, you have to find a way to pull out the thorn and throw it away, otherwise, if the thorn is in the flesh, you will feel pain. If you let the thorns in the flesh, I am afraid that the flesh will suffer, and people will suffer even more, and over time, it will affect people's lives. The imperial court too, if you need to be healthy, you must remove the stinger.
Hongyi thought to himself, if he wanted to form an alliance with the scimitars, he would have to send an envoy there, who would he send?
The little devil was standing outside, not daring to be next to the emperor, for fear of affecting the emperor's thinking. Hongyi thought about it, and without a clue, he shouted: "Little devil, come in." ”
The little devil agreed, went into the study, and asked, "What do you command?"
"I want to send someone to the Scimitar tribe, who do you think is appropriate?" Hongyi asked.
The little devil made a difficulty, he was clever, he couldn't think of an answer, and immediately said: "Long live the lord, the little devil is a messenger, he is a waiter, and he does not participate in the government affairs, like this kind of thing, it is best to ask the ministers in the court." The little devil is really not qualified to speak. ”
"Don't be fooled, tell you the truth, the ministers talk for a long time, it's better for you to say a word. They are dead readers, and they have the ability to quote scriptures, but they don't get to the point, which makes people confused. I like simplicity, you say, I don't blame you. Hongyi encouraged the little devil and said.
"That's not good, long live the lord, the little devil is just a eunuch, according to the rules and regulations of the imperial court, eunuchs and other insiders are not allowed to participate in politics. The little devil is really difficult to obey, because the little devil is worried that the emperor will be impeached, and the long live master will be impeached, even if he has the ability, he will be criticized as worthless, so he gave the rebels a mouthful, and it will also attract the attention of the enemy, and maybe he will launch an attack on our country. The little devil said so many things in one breath.
"Little devil!" Hongyi shouted, "you stop, I just want to hear your opinion, and I didn't say that I have to adopt your opinion, and besides, I am talking to you in a private capacity, not on behalf of the emperor." ”
The little devil listened to Hongyi say this, and his heart blossomed, it turned out that the position of the emperor is not fun, since he is the emperor, he has to consider many things, as the honor of the Ninth Five, the emperor's bowl of rice is not good, and the emperor, the biggest official in the world, is not easy to be.
"Long live the lord, the little devil is a eunuch in front of the master, no longer afraid, no longer afraid, also afraid, he is used to shouting the master, and suddenly said that he was talking in a private capacity, which made the little devil at a loss. The little devil said.
"Oh, haha, I said it was a private identity, but you are afraid, I am not a tiger, how can I make you afraid, if you are really afraid, it proves that there is something wrong with my statecraft, you might as well make some changes to try to make me more affinity. Hongyi said.
After talking for a long time, it has not been determined who will be the envoy and go to the tribe of the scimitar people. Speaking of the scimitar people, as the Han people of the Central Plains, as long as they are old, they all remember the history of aggression back then, and some talk about the tiger's color change, after all, the contradictions between the two countries have been going on for a long time, and the war always seems to burn at any time and turn into a raging fire. If this fire of revenge is not extinguished, it will become a national disaster, and as a special envoy, one of the missions is to go with love, shake hands with former enemies, establish alliances, and enter and exit together.
Hongyi thought about it, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he asked the little devil, the little devil was very shrewd, but he didn't say it, he became angry, and said to the little devil: "I have difficulties, you are the eunuch of the Great Interior, don't worry about me, what's the use of asking you?"
"Long live Lord, it's not that the minions don't help you, it's that they can't help you. The little devil said.
"Why can't you help it? Tell me about it. Hongyi asked.
"Long live Lord, please think about it, if you say it, it is the idea of the little devil, and when the scimitar people know about it, they feel that the price is dropped, because the eunuch seems to be a cripple in their culture, and he actually listened to what a waste man said, and adopted it, how can this be called the nobility of the scimitar clan? Well, the alliance is put on hold for the time being. The little devil said.
When Hongyi heard this, he felt justified, so he said, "It seems that I can't get anything from you today." Then, tomorrow, after going to the early court, I will ask for the opinions of the officials of the early court. As for you, you should also pay attention to this matter, depending on the situation of the early dynasty, if not, I will discuss it with you when I come back. At the same time, I sent you to the teahouse after the early dynasty to find out what the people thought of me, and you have to hear it clearly, whether it is good or bad, understand?"
"The little devil understands, hee-hee. ”
"I know I can't get you, but I won't let you go. You have to complete the tasks I have told you, and you have to inquire among the people about some strange people and strange people, I need these people in the rivers and lakes, not to give official positions, but to do things for me directly. Once you've found it, report it to me. Do you understand?" Hongyi commanded.
"The little devil understands, he just wants to find a thug for the Lord of Banzai, right?"
"No, it's not a thug, it's a cleaner. Hongyi said.
When the little devil heard it, he didn't know what it meant, and after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't know what it meant. Hongyi smiled when he saw him dazed.
When the little devil saw Hongyi laughing, he also pursed the corners of his lips embarrassedly, but he didn't dare to laugh. hurriedly asked: "The little devil must be stupid in front of the master, please explain it clearly." ”
Hongyi said: "In this way, you only pay attention to these knights of the people, I want to reuse them, but, the premise is that you must see their miraculous feats with your own eyes, as the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false, understand what it means, right?"
