Wei and Jin cooks

The little emperor had a cold war.

How could he forget?

When the King of Donghai left Luoyang with a large number of soldiers and civilians, the late emperor could already foresee that Luoyang would be attacked by foreign enemies, so he and his family begged the King of Donghai to stay.

At that time, as one of the clan's youngest descendants, the little emperor was also brought to the King of Donghai, hoping that he would remember his friendship with the clan and stay to protect the clan.

But King Donghai still left, taking with him most of the people in Luoyang City and most of the officials from the famous families followed him.

What the little emperor didn't say was that his father actually wanted to leave with the King of East China Sea at that time.

But the King of Donghai felt that they were too closely related to the late emperor. He was tired of being the regent, so he rejected them.

Although the little emperor was young at the time, he still remembered what his father said at that time, "The King of Donghai did this on purpose. He deliberately took away the army and most of the court, leaving Luoyang empty for defense. Let alone the Xiongnu, any army He can destroy Luoyang as soon as he comes, and when His Majesty and we are in danger, he can proclaim himself emperor at any time while he is out there."

Therefore, his father had been encouraging the late emperor to move the capital and leave, and the late emperor also made up his mind. However, just after he walked out of the palace, before he could reach the city gate, extremely hungry people poured out from all over Luoyang. Seeing the royal procession, they could not take care of it at all. With propriety, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, he directly robbed all the food that the emperor carried with his team.

Under the attack of the hungry people, they had no choice but to return to the palace. Since then, they have been hiding in the palace, relying on the relief from the noble families and officials who stayed behind.

But even then, they actually didn’t eat enough.

The little emperor had been hungry and knew how uncomfortable it felt. He also knew how cruel the hungry people were. If they couldn't get food, they would rob people and share the food.

When Zhao Hanzhang invaded Luoyang, there were not many people in Luoyang city. Some of them could not bear the hunger and escaped, while others were hiding in various places in the city. Many of them survived by eating human flesh. The rest , all starved to death.

The little emperor's face turned pale and his fingers trembled slightly as he said, "I'll write!"

Xun Fan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went down to find Ming Yu and asked Huang Chou to write the imperial edict.

The treasury was empty, Huang Chou was not only valuable but also rare. Zhao Hanzhang had a lot of decrees recently, so he didn't want to spend the money, so he asked the paper maker to make a special paper for her to write imperial decrees on.

This paper is thick and thick, the surface is waterproof, and the ink does not smear when it falls. There are auspicious cloud patterns around it. It feels like thick clouds and is very soft. Although the cost is much more expensive than ordinary paper, compared with Huang thick, it is not too cheap.

All orders issued by Zhao Hanzhang were issued on this kind of paper. Only the orders of the little emperor would use Huang Chou.

For example, some time ago, it was requested to bury the late emperor and worship ancestors using Huang Chou, and the imperial edict was also drawn up by Xun Fan.

Of course, the imperial edict has to be sent to Jiyuan in Menxia Province in the end, and it will be issued only after he has reviewed it and it is correct.

Xunfan and Mingxu asked for Huang Chou, Mingxu just asked and asked someone to give him a piece when he was sure it was the little emperor who wanted it. Anyway, the imperial edict would be handed over to Ji Yuan in the end.

So it didn't take long for Ming Yu to see the imperial edict drafted by the young emperor in Ji Yuan's place, which had not yet been printed.

Oh, for the convenience of office, the emperor's seal is on Zhao Hanzhang's place.

Ming Yu raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue: "At first glance, this imperial edict was drafted by Xun Fan and copied by the emperor."

Ji Yuan rolled up the imperial edict, stood up and said, "I'll go find the general to use the seal."

Ming Yu followed him, "Xun Fan still has to be used. Having him stay with the emperor is better than not having him at all."

Ji Yuan: "What do you want to say?"

"In the past two days, someone has written a letter to impeach Xun Fan, saying that he was resentful of the general. He mixed personal goods with his majesty when teaching, sowing discord between the emperor and the general. He requested that Xun Fan be removed from the post of Taifu."

Ji Yuan sneered when he heard this, "They deceived the general as a fool, but they didn't know that the general knew very well."

Ming Yu didn't think so, and said: "Lies told for a long time will come true. Now the general naturally trusts him, but what about one month, two months, one year, two years later?"

He said: "There is also Xun Fan. He knows that there are people in the court who are trying their best to impeach and alienate him. Doesn't he have any idea in his heart?"

Ji Yuan frowned, "What does Ming Zhongshu mean?"

"Check it out!" Ming Yu said, "If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Punish what you deserve and reward what you deserve. Then there will be no more false accusations."

Ji Yuan laughed at his naivety and said: "When I followed the late Master, the political situation in the DPRK was volatile and complicated. There were many officials who lost their lives due to conflicts of interest. It can be said that the officials who died in vain since Emperor Hui ascended the throne are Nine times out of ten, he died due to a struggle for interests."

"So they don't know that people will die and will be punished?" He said: "They know, but they still choose to do this. If you want to scare the monkeys and prevent them from falsely accusing and impeaching some people because of a conflict of interests, it is impossible!"

"As long as it is beneficial, the fight will never subside." Ji Yuan sighed: "The general also knows this, so she never expands the matter, because once it expands, it will easily fall into party strife, consuming domestic resources and people's lives."

He advised Mingyu, "The general is handling it very well now."

Zhao Hanzhang accepted the impeachment papers as they were. Generally, when receiving such impeachment papers without evidence, he would call them back first and ask them to provide evidence. For example, what did Xun Fan say when he taught the emperor, and what did he do to make them think so?

What she got back with Zhezi was a series of tasks. Those who should do practical things were sent down to her. The censor who specialized in supervising officials went down to inspect the situation in the countryside to make sure that the decrees she promulgated were implemented smoothly in the local area...

When they completed their task and wrote another brochure, Zhao Hanzhang handed the brochure directly to Xunfan and asked him to respond to the evidence listed in the impeachment brochure one by one.

This time and again, coupled with countless work tasks, there will be no unclear things in three to five months.

She was very patient anyway, but those censors were extremely annoyed, especially the officials who needed to patrol the countryside. There were bandits on the road, and the villagers in the countryside were also very arrogant. The county officials were first-rate. It's quite arrogant. If he goes down as a censor, he will be beaten if he disagrees with him.

Don't underestimate the people in the countryside now, because the Jin Dynasty has been in troubled times. Although the upper class nobles admire elegance and nobility, the lower class people admire martial arts.

Not only men, but also women and children were very tyrannical. If the censor quarreled with them, they would dare to beat them with sticks.

Of course, because the censor was sent by Zhao Hanzhang, for her sake, even if some censors said something unpleasant, they all tolerated it.
