All Hail Cousin Brother

It is a good idea to move the refugees to the three northeastern provinces. It can not only resettle the refugees and give them a way to survive, but also solve a scourge and throw the hot potato of the refugees to King Wu Mu.

But the problem is!

King Wu Mu is not stupid either.

After suppressing the rebellion in Shandong and the case of King Zhou Li, King Wu Mudingbei had already shown his power in the government, especially the cabinet, which was particularly wary of him.

Mr. Yu Ge said with a face full of hatred: "I said that you all seem to be quite shrewd at ordinary times, but when it comes to big things, why do you become confused? Think about it, when the Zhou Dynasty was first established, Emperor Gaozu In the Liaodong area, the Liaodong Dusi Military Town was set up. To the east of the sea, Liao was the first frontier. Since Central Xia was peaceful, Si must be guarded. It also issued a series of national policies to strengthen the border and defend against foreign countries. It also included a large number of people who had been displaced due to the war. The refugees moved to the north."

The courtiers gradually came to their senses.

Mr. Qi was even more excited and slapped his thigh: "Yes, the northern territory is vast and sparsely populated. Relocating refugees, developing the population, and then increasing productivity are also in line with the national policy of strengthening the border and resisting foreign countries. Since it is a national policy, King Wu Mu cannot refuse .”

A "national policy" solved the problems that troubled the courtiers, and the courtiers suddenly became happy——

"Old Yu Ge, this is a wise idea..."

"Sure enough, Jiang is still very old..."

"Mr. Yu Ge's plan is very clever..."

"..."

Old Yu Ge looked like an old god was here: "King Wu Mu is the vassal king and it is not easy for him to interfere in the affairs of the government. However, a large number of refugees have moved to the north and it is difficult for the government to control them. King Wu Mu needs to come forward to intimidate him, and Wu Mu cannot be allowed to do so. If King Mu takes advantage of his status as a vassal king to leave the situation, no one will be able to fix it if something goes wrong."

Mr. Qi's eyelids twitched heavily. Is this asking King Wu Mu to intervene in the government affairs?

The courtiers were also stunned and couldn't help but think about these words carefully.

Veteran Yu Ge saw the expressions of the courtiers in his eyes, because he had read the contents of the national policy issued by Emperor Gaozu, and even when talking about such sensitive words, he was not breathless or panicked.

"Since it is a national policy that should be followed by everyone, King Wu Mu cannot stay out of it. When Emperor Gaozu advocated relocation of refugees, it was with the assistance of the Liaodong Dusi."

Immediately, a chamberlain came out of the hall.

After a while, a stack of books came over, all related to the national policies issued by Emperor Gaozu.

The courtiers immediately began to look through it.

Mr. Yu Ge picked up the teacup and leaned on the chair to drink tea.

About a quarter of an hour later, a courtier said: "Mr. Yu Ge is right. Since it is a national policy, it should be followed by everyone. The northern border is under the jurisdiction of King Wu Mu. There are often disturbances from foreign enemies on the border. Only by fighting against the enemy can the outside be settled. Although the refugees can be resettled, It is the responsibility of the government, and King Wu Mu is also responsible for it. It should be noted that in extraordinary times, extraordinary actions must be taken and cannot be taken lightly."

It was inappropriate for King Wu Mu to intervene in the resettlement of the refugees.

But compared to the hidden dangers caused by frequent refugee riots, this result seems to be easier to accept.

Besides, Emperor Gaozu had learned from his mistakes, so it was quite logical.

With this thought, the courtiers quickly reached a consensus.

Elder Yu Ge said again: "When refugees first enter the Northern Territory, they are indispensable for the acceptance and relief of the Northern Gentlemen. We must give an order to let them fully support the government and King Wu Mu in the resettlement of the refugees. Anyone who disobeys the order shall be severely punished." .”

Immediately, many courtiers followed suit: "Old Yu Ge has considered it carefully. Since it is a national policy, everyone in the north should follow it, and the gentry are no exception."

At that time, military attachés could not interfere in politics, except when it came to war. At this time, the Marquis of Zhenguo spoke: "The Di people also suffered from drought. Last autumn and winter, more than a dozen small-scale battles broke out in the north. I think the Di people will not stop after the spring. , will continue to frequently disturb the Northern Territory. King Wu Mu wants to take charge of the war in the Northern Territory, and he also needs to take care of the resettlement of the refugees. The gentry must cooperate, and those who disobey the order should be punished for disorderly administration. "

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers instantly realized the seriousness.

Only when the border is stable can they have a peaceful life.

On this matter, the courtiers quickly reached a consensus.

Most of the gentry in the north had quite a lot of connections in the court, but the refugees were indeed a major concern for them. Since they could throw the hot potato out, no matter whose hands it was thrown into, at least they would be safe.

The most urgent task is to deal with the refugees first.

As for the rest, it’s not too late to talk about it later.

Millions of refugees were able to find a place to go without any money or food from the court. This not only solved a major problem, but also did not embarrass them. The courtiers, who had always been procrastinating on business and actively seeking personal gain, rarely showed their resolute side. , immediately drew up a package and handed it to Shouyan Palace.

The emperor is obsessed with alchemy and has ignored political affairs for a long time.

The courtiers found it strange that he did not go to court for four or five months in a row, and secretly inquired about the news in the palace.

But the harem was controlled by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lan, so it was difficult to find out the news. But the more they couldn't find out the information, the more the courtiers felt that something was going on, and the less they gave up. After all the twists and turns, they finally found out. , the emperor developed boils on his face due to long-term consumption of elixirs, which disfigured his appearance, and even the palace gate was sealed.

Because it was not an honorable matter, the Queen Mother ordered the palace officials not to tell anyone about it.

The courtiers thought it was ridiculous.

But despite the absurdity, it felt like it was natural.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and his power is divinely delegated. He is so majestic, but his appearance is so damaged, how can he inherit the heaven and earth? Why can't he go to court for a long time, and even the news must be suppressed to death.

No one with a disfigured face or body will be selected for the imperial examination, so as not to damage the dignity of the imperial court.

What is more, what is the king of a country?

Only this reason can explain the recent commotion in the palace.

Therefore, the courtiers, like the Queen Mother, kept the matter secret. All matters in the court were discussed by the courtiers and then decided by the cabinet and left to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother read the cabinet brochure and stared at the word "national policy" for a long time: "Yin Huaixi's legs are healed, just like a dragon swimming in the sea, going up to the sky and down to the earth, turning rain and clouds." A pen dipped in cinnabar was hung on the For a long time, the fine Longquan cinnabar ink could not be removed from the book. It was wet but not solid, and would not dry after being left for a long time. She sighed softly, her expression became very complicated, and finally wrote Zhu Zhu: "That's it, the future will always be the same. Depend on him.”

Eunuch Zhu bowed his head and bowed aside, holding a gilt gold plate with Kowloon opera beads in his hands, on which were placed ink pads, a jade seal handed down from the country, a pen holder and other royal objects.

The Queen Mother placed the ink pen on the pen rest on the gold plate, took the jade seal, and lightly stamped the seal: "Give it to Eunuch He!"

Eunuch Zhu quickly bowed and retreated.

The Empress Dowager rested on the big pillow in low spirits, looking at the incense of smoke curling up from the Boshan stove on the incense table, puffing out clouds of mist, her eyes were a little blurry, and for some reason she thought of King Yin Li's biological mother, Concubine Hui.
