Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 469: Lonely and widowed

The agitation of opening a division and taking scholars is still permeating the court and the opposition, but as a news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of a group of courtiers.

The head of Daheng's honor, the hereditary duke, the Duke of Yasukuni was ordered by the emperor to apply for a stipend, fined for one year, and thought about a month behind closed doors!

Such a will, once it was spread, it immediately attracted Wen Wu to discuss it endlessly.

In the court and the opposition, who does not know the relationship between Duke Yasukuni and Dangjin as brothers!

For so many years, whether it is the former Duke Qin or the current emperor Daheng, he has never punished this Duke Jingguo in public, and his naked preference has never been concealed in the slightest.

Wen and Wu guessed and talked a lot, all speculating about the reason why the Duke of Yasukuni was punished.

Although it is only a mere year of fines and a month of thinking behind closed doors, everyone knows that it depends on the person. The Duke of Yasukuni and the Son of Heaven are as close as brothers. Good luck.

Soon, the news that came out from nowhere suddenly turned this discussion into a boil!

The civil servants, who were excited and excited because of the opening of the department and the scholars, are undoubtedly completely boiling!

Even the dignified Duke Jingguo went to persuade the emperor, but he was directly appealed to him. It is conceivable how firm the emperor's intentions are for the opening of the divisions!

Under the general trend of this new dynasty and new system, the emperor's will is firm, and it is naturally a sure thing to open a department and select scholars. It is naturally an even greater good thing for these literati.

Obviously, this news is naturally not a good thing for Wu Xun, and even officials who were not selected for the imperial examination.

Outside the closed gate of the Yasukuni Palace, many military officials gathered.

"My lords, Your Majesty has already ordered the grandfather to close the door and think about it, and he can't see the guests, so please come back, lords!"

The butler of the Yasukuni Palace stood at the door, persuading these big men with all his heart, as if he was in a turmoil.

"Alright, alright, don't say so much, open the door and let me see the grandfather, I'll just say a few words and leave!"

"Yes, just say a few words, it's not a big deal!"

"You'd better get out of the way, annoyed Lao Tzu and chopped you with a knife!"

In the midst of this arrogance, the butler didn't know how to speak.

Fortunately, after a while, the closed gate of the Yasukuni Palace finally opened.

"What are you doing?"

With a gloomy face, Xu Feng scolded, and the original noise was suddenly quiet.

"Is Your Majesty's will not clear enough?"

"You guys are nosy and you haven't made enough noise, you need to add another fire, right!"

"No, sir, we just came to see you..."

"That's ok, look at it now, what to do!"

Under the scolding, the originally arrogant warriors suddenly looked like quails, daring not to speak, they looked at each other, and then they all bowed their hands to Xu Feng and retreated.

Watching the generals leave, Xu Feng's face became more and more gloomy.

He hadn't cared about it before, but now that he did, he really realized the unscrupulousness of these martial arts, Wang Fa, which can bind civil servants and people, but to them, I'm afraid it's not even a piece of shit.

Such unbridled recklessness, obviously, will challenge the bottom line of the emperor sooner or later.

"Go to the General Staff and bring over the General Staff's strategic plan for Mongolia and the hypocrisy."

As his thoughts flowed, Xu Feng turned around and instructed the general guard on the side.

If there is nowhere for the energy to be vented, then it will be thrown to the front line, and these unruly and unruly will be vented on the enemy.

The thoughts flashed away, Xu Feng stood for a moment, then slowly turned around and returned to the mansion. The gate of the mansion was also slowly closed.

"Marquis of Changning, Marquis of Jingbian, Bo Ding'an... and the head of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Officials..."

In the Qianqing Palace, a general stood in the hall, and a personal name was also spit out from the general's collar.

"The grandfather scolded him before the generals and ministers withdrew. Later, the grandfather asked people to go to the General Staff and took the strategic plan for Mongolia and hypocrisy formulated by the General Staff..."

It wasn't until the general's voice fell that Li Xiu waved his hand slowly, and the general retreated.

It was not until the general left the temple that the emperor slowly put down the pen in his hand, stood there, silent for a long time, and after a long sigh of relief, he took a step and walked out of the temple.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the hall also immediately crowded over. Li Xiu waved his hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs stopped in place.

"His Majesty……"

Wang Wu tiptoed forward and couldn't help asking.

"You don't have to follow me, I'll go by myself!"

"Old slave understands."

Wang Wu hurriedly waved to a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and everyone immediately retreated in an orderly manner. Immediately, Wang Wu bowed to the emperor and retired respectfully.

Outside the hall was empty, and a group of soldiers and soldiers stood neatly everywhere, and the Dahenglong flag waving in the wind was hunting.

The emperor stood alone and looked around, but an unspeakable feeling of loneliness suddenly surged in his heart.

When you come to this world, you are alone, surviving in troubled times.

As time passed, there were younger brothers who were as close as brothers, and there were also a group of subordinates who followed him in the north and south.

But when he stepped onto the position of the Ninety-five Lord and had everything in the world, it seemed that he would return to the state of being alone again.

What he has to do, few people can understand!

Everyone has their own interests.

And most of these interest demands have irreconcilable conflicts with what he wants to do.

He will inevitably go farther and farther on the road of being alone.

That sentence that he firmly adhered to is worthy of his heart, it seems, has long since been completely wiped out with the passage of time.

Son of Heaven, can only be a loner!

The ambitious emperor is also a complete loner.

If you want to be worthy of your heart, you must be ashamed of the world!

Li Xiu sighed, at first, he really just wanted to change the history while pursuing the peak of martial arts!

In his whole life, yin and yang were wrong, and good fortune made people!

Sovereign power is beautiful, but holding the sovereign power and wanting to make a difference is not so beautiful.

Rights are best when they are used for enjoyment.

It is difficult to be a wise ruler, and it is also difficult to be a wise ruler. There are many faint rulers and more corrupt officials.

He's just asking for hardship!

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu also walked aimlessly in the palace.

"His Majesty!"

Just as Li Xiu's thoughts were flying, a voice brought him back to reality again.

It turned out that he didn't know when, he actually walked in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the two of them came to Zongdao Liu Qiyuan and bowed in front of him.

"I was wandering around, but I didn't pay attention, and I actually came to the cabinet."

Li Xiu chuckled lightly, looked up at the high-hanging Wenyuan Pavilion plaque, then stepped away and walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan looked at each other, and immediately followed Li Xiu and walked into the cabinet together.

Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the mountains of memorials on the table of the two elders. "It seems that the cabinet should also add cabinet ministers. Otherwise, you two will have a hard time."

Hearing this, Lai Zongdao and Liu Qiyuan couldn't help showing joy, but they quickly responded: "The ministers serve His Majesty, the country, and the duty is also the honor of the ministers."

"Hahahaha, that's what you will say."

The emperor laughed, and then waved his hand: "Just follow the rules of the previous Ming, and the court will be pushed into the pavilion..."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused for a while, and suddenly changed the topic: "How are you preparing for the assessment that the cabinet will supervise?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have informed the students of the Martial Arts Academy and officials from the Ministry of Personnel to be selected and transferred. The time and place have also been determined. The minister is summarizing and preparing to send it to your Majesty. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty, you actually went to the cabinet in person. already."

After finishing speaking, Laizong Dao respectfully handed a copy of the memorial on the table to Li Xiu's face.

"In the spring of next year, Wenyuan Pavilion will hold an assessment..."

The emperor murmured slightly, then shook his head: "It's too late to start the spring next year, next month, it will be in late November."

Laizong Dao was surprised, and after a while, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, in this case, is the time too rushed? Many officials who are out of work at home may not be able to make it in time."

"It's only late October, and there's still more than a month until late November, which is almost enough."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently, but the meaning of refusal between the words was very clear.

"The cabinet will supervise this matter as soon as possible. Before this year, the vacancies of officials in various places must be filled."

"The minister obeys the order!"

In this way, the two people who came to Zongdao had no choice but to respond.

"After this assessment is completed, the matter of adding cabinet ministers to the cabinet can be put on the agenda."

The emperor changed the subject again, and turned the topic to what the two cabinet heads wanted to hear the most.

"You first draw up a charter and hand over a copy."

"There is also the matter of opening a department to recruit scholars next year, and we must also be prepared. This is the first time the new dynasty has opened a department to recruit scholars, and there must be no problems."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty..."

Lai Zongdao and the two cupped their hands again.

Li Xiu nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Liu Qiyuan hesitated for a while before asking:

"Your Majesty, when will the reform be implemented?"

"Not urgent."

The emperor shook his head. After all, the northern provinces are different from Liaodong. Liaodong completely overthrew everything and then rebuilt the order. In this way, no matter how to change it, there would not be too much resistance.

However, in the northern provinces, although he has deep control, he has not even filled the vacancies for officials in various places. Under the circumstance that the ruling order is not sound, the implementation of reforms, no matter how good the starting point is, do not need to think about it, it will definitely become a disaster for the country and the people. tyranny.

Li Xiu glanced at Liu Qiyuan, then waved his hand.

"The cabinet will do the things in front of you first. If there is a reform, I will make arrangements."

"The minister obeys the order."

The two bowed again, and the emperor did not stop, so Shi Shiran walked out of the cabinet.

Until the figure of the Son of Heaven disappeared from sight, the two people from Laizong and Dao slowly stood up straight.

Liu Qiyuan said: "Your Majesty should wait for officials from all over the world to make up for it before starting the reform."

"That's natural, how can Your Majesty fight an unprepared battle!"

Laizongdao disagreed, but then said: "Adding the words of the cabinet ministers, this matter still needs to be pondered."

Liu Qiyuan frowned: "You mean..."

Laizong Dao shook his head: "Your Majesty put the matter of adding cabinet ministers after the assessment, why do you say that?"

After finishing speaking, Dao Lai Zong exhaled a long breath: "Your Majesty has appeased our hearts, and you have to appease Wu Xun!"

Liu Qiyuan said: "Then take half of each, and hire the best."

"Can."

Laizong Dao nodded: "Let's do this as soon as possible, the time is so tight, it seems that this reform thing, Your Majesty can't wait."

"There is also the title that Your Majesty has set for the two princesses, and the Ministry of Rites must get it sorted as soon as possible~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Lai Zongdao told in an orderly manner, Liu Qiyuan seemed to remember something, his brows were wrinkled, and he wanted to speak again and again. end.

"What’s wrong with you?"

After a while, Zongdao noticed the change in Liu Qiyuan's expression.

Liu Qiyuan said solemnly, "Have we all overlooked one thing?"

Seeing Liu Qiyuan's heavy expression, Laizong Dao couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"The coffins of the two late emperors are still parked in the palace!"

"The two mausoleums have already been built."

"Your Majesty has never had any will about this."

Hearing this, Laizong Dao's face became solemn.

After a while, he whispered: "Could it be because of King Shou's chaos?"

"That's what worries me."

Liu Qiyuan nodded: "His Majesty ascended the throne before, that is to inherit the legal system of the former Ming, and naturally maintain respect for the former Ming."

"But now, King Shou fled to Jiangnan, directly denied the rationality of the Zen position, and completely tore his face. Even if we have never acknowledged the existence of Nanming, everyone in the world can see it clearly..."

"I'm worried that Your Majesty is completely disheartened, and if you just let it go, it will be troublesome."

"Probably not. The pros and cons, Your Majesty will naturally distinguish clearly."

Laizong Dao shook his head: "In this way, when we meet with Your Majesty another day, let's go and test it."

"It can only be this way."

Liu Qiyuan frowned, and his heart was full of helplessness. It was really tiring to work under the hands of an emperor who came completely out of the way!
