Hello Chang’an

This incident made Emperor Shengce think repeatedly in his mind. Maybe A Shang is still the same A Shang as before. Maybe Beidi has not changed A Shang in three years, right?

Perhaps this is the case, Ah Shang's firmness of mind is unparalleled.

Therefore, if Ah has not changed yet and does not want to recognize her at this time, is it just a child's anger?

Growing up, Ashang rarely had the opportunity to be a real child. If Ashang was just angry with her, she would be willing to use all her patience and wait for her child to calm down and return to her.

Mother and daughter are each other's only blood relatives in this world. They should never be opposed to each other, but should be united to the outside world.

In the Ganlu Hall, in the Imperial Study Room, a sound of announcement brought the Holy Book Emperor, who was holding a red pen, back to his senses.

Yu Zeng took two chamberlains and approached the saint to salute.

The Holy Emperor slowly put down his pen, and the unrelated palace attendants on the left and right bowed silently and left.

The Si Gongtai has always only served the emperor. From officials' mansions and back houses to folk rumors, all of them would be reported to the emperor through the eyes and ears of the Si Gongtai.

One of the two chamberlains beside Yu Zeng presented the recent news among the officials and dignitaries of the capital. The focus was on the turmoil and trends brought about by the chaos among the nobles in the Central Plains.

The Emperor of the Holy Book lowered his eyes as he read through it, his expression calm and calm, the turmoil was inevitable. This was a situation where the enemy would be injured a thousand times and she would lose more than eight hundred, but no matter what, at least she was the winner.

Next, she only needs to suppress the scope of the turmoil as much as possible.

The servant continued to report: "...there is one more thing worthy of attention. Nowadays, the nobles are in panic. The nobles from all over the country have used the Wang and Lu families to question the Cui family for their incompetence in educating their children and their inability to discipline the children of the clan. , putting pressure on Ms. Cui and trying to get an explanation.”

The "child" in this teaching method is naturally Cui Jing.

The news that Cui Jing personally led his troops to break through the gate of the Zheng family in Xingyang had already spread everywhere, attracting severe rebuke from countless nobles.

Although they had been dissatisfied with the Cui family's son who led the Xuance Army before, this dissatisfaction was actually half true and false. On the surface, they despised Cui's son for becoming the empress's minion, but privately they never stopped treating Cui Jing. To win over and persuade.

Because they all know that Cui Jing is an extremely sharp knife. If this knife can be used by them, even if it doesn't sound good, it can be regarded as a good knife.

But what happened with the Zheng family made them see clearly that instead of fighting for the nobles, this sword was swung at them!

The Zheng family is his maternal family, and if he can do such things, this son really has no conscience or face!

In other words, if a person can even attack his wife’s family, how can he be soft on them in the future?

What about national law? It should be noted that patriarchal ethics and human ethics come first! This person's move is destined to be despised by the world!

They were full of anger and burned towards Cui, asking Cui to give an explanation.

"In their eyes, if Cui Qing was in Xingyang that day, he should have led Xuance's army to rebel and kill Li Xian, so that he would not be ashamed of the nobles." The emperor of the Holy Book smiled half-smilingly, and said slowly: "It's a pity that Cui Qing is not like them. Generally stupid.”

No, it cannot be said that they are stupid. It should be said that they are in different positions. Everyone only cares about their own interests. At the moment of survival, they have no choice, but Cui Jing has a choice.

Unfortunately, Cui Jing did not choose to stand with them, at least... on the surface, and most people in the world only look at the surface.

"This is a private matter of their noble family and a family matter of the Cui family. It is not appropriate for me to interfere at this time."

She still has to think about what will happen next based on Cui's attitude.

Another chamberlain then revealed the recent trend among the people.

Speaking of these, the most mentioned thing is about Chang Sui Ning and Zheng Chao's prayers for blessings coming true.

Yu Zeng stood aside quietly, listening to the various versions of storytellers, his face expressionless.

He could not look directly at the holy face, but in his heart he was thinking about the emperor's demeanor at this moment.

Finally, the chamberlain said: "Everyone is saying that General Ning Yuan is the reincarnation of a general star, which is auspicious for great prosperity."

Yu Zeng waited silently for the reaction of the Holy Emperor.

"Auspicious—" the Holy Emperor smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I think so too."

If you say "the reincarnation of the star", it may be just an exaggerated praise if you put it on others, but at this time, Ah Shang is the real reincarnation of the "general star".

Her son was a born general, a general who came to help her consolidate her prosperity.

The Holy Emperor raised his hand, and the two chamberlains withdrew knowingly.

Yu Zeng stood by and explained the recent movements of some officials in the DPRK who had been emphatically explained by Emperor Shengce.

"Let me continue to keep an eye on you. If there is any unusual movement or close personal contact, please report it to me in a timely manner."

Yu Zeng responded.

As the situation continues to become turbulent, the emperor's suspicion is now everywhere.

The Holy Emperor put down the secret music in his hand, and there was a rare gentleness in his slightly tired voice: "I remember that Ah Shang loved wine in the past, right?"

This sentence was very sudden. Yu Zeng reacted for a moment and then replied respectfully: "Yes, His Highness used to like to drink Feng Zhi Nian the most."

The Holy Emperor looked at him with a smile: "You have always remembered Ashang's preferences very clearly."

This is a sign of keeping the old master in mind for more than ten years.

Yu Zeng lowered his eyes: "I am good at brewing this wine and was praised by His Highness, so I will remember it more firmly."

"You brewed it with your own hands." Emperor Shengzhi didn't know what he thought of, and asked, "Are you still brewing this wine now?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't brewed this wine for many years."

"Brew a few jars for me when you have time." The Holy Emperor looked at the bottle of glazed Boshan furnace and said slowly: "It takes a hundred days to brew new wine. You can try it this summer."

Yu Zeng agreed without hesitation.

The Holy Emperor did not elaborate on why he was suddenly asked to brew this wine. The emperor never had to explain his actions to anyone, let alone a trivial matter.

When Yu Zeng stepped down, the Holy Emperor raised his eyes slightly and watched the purple robe disappear behind the vermilion threshold.

Yu Zeng is a person who is cautious in doing things, capable and skillful, and never forms cliques, so he is very useful.

In addition, she reused Yu Zeng because he was loyal to Ashang. He seemed aloof, but in fact he was very attached to his old feelings. This type of person often finds it difficult to find another person and is moved by ordinary interests. of.

Moreover, she brought the other party to the highest level that a **** could achieve. No matter how much others promised huge profits, she could not easily make the other party sway.

If you don’t talk about benefits, talk about weaknesses. The other party does have weaknesses. Yu Zeng is not alone. He was poor when he was young, and there was a drought in his hometown. His sisters died of starvation, leaving only him and his younger brother. When they were desperate, his parents Will make him sell himself into the palace as a slave.

Later, Yu Zeng became a chamberlain who was valued by A Shang. When A Shang learned about the past, he asked people to find his relatives for him and took him to the capital for resettlement.

His father is gone, leaving only his mother and younger brother.

Many years have passed, and his younger brother has already had a family, and now works in the Patrol Department of the capital. The Patrol Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. His official position is only a seventh-grade commander, and he is not a high-ranking official. However, he is very content with the status quo, and Yu Zeng is also very sober. Didn't plan for more. In other words, all of Yu Zeng's weaknesses were under the surveillance and control of the emperor.

These are the reasons why the Holy Emperor dares to trust him to do things. She has doubted many people, but rarely doubted Yu Zeng, but this time is different from the past...

Behind the screen, two shadows flashed out, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

"Next, pay close attention to every move he makes and don't be negligent in the slightest."

After the shadow receded, the palace people entered the study one after another to wait on them.

Among them were several new faces of the palace people. The replacement of palace people in the Manna Palace was particularly frequent in the past few months. None of them dared to be careless at all. They were always tense, for fear of making the slightest mistake and arousing the emperor's suspicion.

The Holy Emperor can feel their tension. Yes, she is a suspicious emperor, but anyone sitting in this position will be like this.

She often felt sad that she was "unavailable", but in fact, she was not unavailable at first. A few years after she ascended the throne, she had vigorously cleaned up and eradicated some people with extraordinary ability and skill, but she had too much power and troops. man of.

Because those people were dissatisfied with her, either showing their dissatisfaction on the surface, or hiding their dissatisfaction secretly.

She had to get rid of those people.

Along the way, she has never stopped doing this, and even to this day, she is still using ruthless means to eradicate dissidents.

She has killed everyone who should be killed and everyone should not be killed. No one can use her because no one can trust her.

Yes, she tries to support her relatives, even if most of them are mediocre, but compared to those who have outstanding abilities but cannot be used by her, or even turn against her, those mediocre people can at least be truly used by her and have the same interests as hers.

She has never regretted the people she killed along the way. If not for this, she would never be able to sit in this position until now.

If this is compared to leaf cards, then from the beginning, she held the worst card in her hand. Her journey was more difficult than any emperor, but in such a situation, she was able to sit firmly on the throne for ten years. The remaining years are enough to prove that she is a competent king, a king appointed by heaven!

In recent years, the situation has been turbulent, and Tianjing has been in seclusion for a long time. She asked Tianjing whether her imperial destiny was about to end, but Tianjing claimed that she did not dare to talk about this secret.

That being the case, she stopped asking. Since she came to the throne, she has been conscientious and diligent in government affairs and has never slacked off for a day. She has encountered crises many times, but she is still the master of Dasheng. She will definitely be able to solve the current turmoil. .

This time, after she wipes out the noble clan and gathers the power in the world... she can start a prosperous age that truly belongs to her.

As the smoke floated slowly above the Boshan stove, a palace official brought the elixir to the emperor on time and gave it to the emperor to take.

…

The disposition of the Central Plains nobles was quickly settled.

Arrangements were also made for disaster relief. Emperor Shengce ordered the Minister of Household Affairs to go on an imperial mission to provide relief on behalf of the emperor. Secondly, he and Li Xian handed over the affairs of the Zheng clan's families in confiscating their homes.

After leaving the Manna Hall, Wei Shuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true that he has taken the initiative to take over many affairs recently, and he couldn't leave Beijing for a while, so he was able to successfully avoid this errand that others could only ask for.

The disaster relief work involves a large amount of money and food. In such a situation, a trustworthy minister is needed. The minister of household affairs is named Zhan. It is most appropriate for him to be the disciple of Taifu Chu.

In addition, the saint appointed eunuchs to accompany him and monitor him.

Furthermore, after discussing with Zhongshu Lingma Xingzhou, Emperor Shengce specially selected more than ten scribes from the three departments of Hubu, Rites, and Officials to go with him. These ten people have one thing in common, they are all this year's new scholars. Origin.

They had just been put into various ministries as an exception, and now they were ordered to follow them to provide disaster relief.

This move is extremely rare, but the Emperor of the Holy Book believes that this is the fastest and most intuitive opportunity for experience. What she needs is not young students who can write beautiful articles, but ministers who can do practical things and fill the vacancies as soon as possible. .

Song Xian, the new champion, and Tan Li are also on the list.

Disaster relief is like putting out fire, there must be no delay, they will set off tomorrow.

Wei Shuyi was responsible for communicating and arranging the matter, so he returned to the Sixth Department with Zhan Shilang.

After arranging all the affairs, Mr. Zhan said goodbye to Mr. Chu, who was about to return home from duty.

Song Xian and others also lined up at the back to bow to the old master. They passed the imperial examination and became officials, and Taifu Chu was the chief examiner, so he was considered their half-mentor. Although Taifu Chu was not willing to admit this statement, he always frowned in disgust.

"Go." Looking at the green seedlings that had just emerged from the ground in front of him, Master Chu said: "Be careful, don't be careless, don't be stupid."

This explanation was very straightforward and practical, and the young people respectfully agreed. At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh that the old master and the word "stupid" were really incompatible with each other in his life.

Mrs. Chu narrowed his dim eyes and counted the number of people.

"Twelve..." Mr. Chu ordered and told Mr. Zhan: "Remember, no matter what, you must bring them all back."

Although her qualifications were just that, after all, she was the Miao Miao he had personally picked out, so he couldn't just go out and get a full discount.

This trip is not that safe.

We have to face the refugees, local forces, and some remnants of the noble forces who are still secretly fighting back for revenge...

Ordinarily, these Miao Miao should not be involved, but who let them be the first batch of Miao Miao? The first batch of Miao Miao is not always that easy.

Master Chu sighed in his heart, but the Miao Miao people were eager to try.

I don’t know how dangerous the world is—Shilang Zhan was a little worried.

It wasn't his first time being an imperial envoy, but it was his first time dragging around a dozen babies who had just learned to walk.

Hey, if you drag twelve milk babies along with you, no one will die from worry.

Aware of Shilang Zhan's melancholy, Wei Shuyi sympathized with him and couldn't help but feel more and more glad that he had escaped this errand.

It's not that he doesn't want to see "her", he just hasn't figured out how to face the weird truth and the "her" behind the truth.

Shilang Zhan led his infants to explain matters, while Wei Shuyi left the Ministry of Rites with the subordinate Chu Taifu.

After walking for a while, Master Chu glanced at the handsome young man beside him: "Is there anything wrong, Minister Wei?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Taifu's eyes."

Mrs. Chu didn't give much face: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. My sedan chair is waiting in front."

He finally managed to get back on duty on time, but he didn't want to waste his time here. He didn't want to take advantage of this evil Ministry of Etiquette for half a quarter of an hour.

"Yes, I have something I would like to ask the master for advice."

some?

So there’s more than one?

Mr. Chu glared in his heart. Isn't it evil for a young man to be so greedy and take up an old man's low-duty time?

Darlings, I want to have 3,000 monthly tickets, please, please, please roll around and ask for votes.
