Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 629 A drastic change in temperament

The personal attendant didn't react quickly enough and didn't react for a while, but that didn't stop him from writing it down first and then passing it on to Zhao Ju. Finally, he thought about it carefully and suddenly realized it.

Zhao Ming had already begun to prepare a backup plan. He immediately wrote to the emperor to impeach Gou Chun and reported the matter to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang still has to deal with the emperor and Gou Xi, and Zhao Ming is not qualified yet.

Moreover, Zhao Zhongyu is still in Yanzhou.

It was because Zhao Zhongyu was in Yanzhou that Zhao Hanzhang was a little constrained, but it was also because he was in Yanzhou that many of the things she wanted to do could come true.

For example, when Zhao Zhongyu was in Yanzhou, Zhao Hanzhang could not quarrel with Gou Xi, and Gou Xi would be more restrained.

As soon as Ming Yu left, Zhao Zhongyu went to the palace to find the emperor. The emperor was the only one who could save the lives of their father and son in Gou Xi's rage.

Once you get past the point where Gou Xi becomes furious, it will all depend on Zhao Hanzhang's methods.

When Zhao Zhongyu entered the palace, he first went to the side hall, glanced around, and asked, "Where is Shizhong Zhao?"

Immediately, an official stood up, bowed and said, "Uncle Cai has not entered the palace today."

Zhao Zhongyu pursed his lips and said to him gently: "Now that the palace is running errands, it is about official positions regardless of title. Next time, just call him Zhao Shizhong."

He said: "Let someone call him into the palace and let him be on duty. You can rest for now."

All the officials agreed, smiled after Zhao Zhongyu left, packed their things and waited for Zhao Ji to leave after entering the palace.

Everyone knew that Zhao Zhongyu was angry and planned to punish Zhao Ji for working overtime.

Huh, Zhao Ji relied on the power of his father and niece to push the work at hand to them. Today he can finally take revenge openly.

Who likes to work if you can rest and get a white-collar salary?

Human beings all have the gene for inertia, but smart people will overcome inertia, and particularly smart people will transfer inertia and turn things like study and work into hobbies;

Only the officials of the Jin Dynasty would indulge in inertia without thinking and obey their nature in a cool and unrestrained manner. This is called obeying the destiny, hahahaha...

Anyway, they let things take their course and put all the work on Zhao Ji's desk. When he was called into the palace, they all got up and left, and happily met for a drink.

Zhao Ji:......

He also wanted to give up his job, but he was not so courageous. As long as Zhao Zhongyu was around, the mountain above his head would be heavy.

Zhao Ji handled the work angrily, while cursing in his heart, and his eyes were filled with evil spirits.

Zhao Zhongyu didn't know all this. After confirming that his son had entered the palace, he would arrange some tasks for him from time to time. He was not allowed to leave the palace until he was finished.

So Zhao Ji was left on duty that night, and Zhao Zhongyu also stayed in the palace. He had a good chat with the emperor, so he stayed in the palace.

Gou Xi didn't realize that Ming Yu had run away that day, and he fell drunk in the gentle countryside.

Zhao Zhongyu, who was in the palace, received the news and sighed quietly. The benefits brought by such indulging in power are no worse than those of the King of East China Sea.

The emperor didn't know that Ming Yu had run away, but when he saw Zhao Zhongyu sighing, he asked.

Zhao Zhongyu said: "I heard that General Gou has brought in a hundred more maids, many of whom are of good color. They are having a banquet, singing and dancing in the garden today, and they are already drunk."

He sighed and said, "It's such a wasteland of wine and meat, but it's not a good thing if things go on like this. Your Majesty, General Gou is so extravagant, all the property of Yanzhou and the imperial court is wasted."

The servants don’t want to eat or wear clothes?

The servants who serve closely, the actors who dance, sing and play music all need beautiful clothes and accessories, as well as fine wine to drink and delicious food to eat. Don’t these require money?

Where does the money come from?

Naturally, it was obtained from Yanzhou's finances and from the emperor.

Yanzhou's finances come from the people of Yanzhou, and the emperor's finances come from all parties.

After the emperor moved the capital to Yuncheng, all the states and counties sent some money and supplies. Even in Luoyang, which had just experienced the war, Zhao Hanzhang had to save some of his money to give to the emperor to support him and his courtiers.

The money coming in and going out will always pass through the hands of Gou Xi's officials. In order to please Gou Xi, some people will find ways to deduct some and give it to him.

Now, even the emperor feels it, and it can be seen that they are withholding more and more money.

The emperor's eyes were dark, but he knew that he was still young. If he attacked now, he would either die in vain or be imprisoned. It would be better to maintain the superficial peace for just one day...

The emperor looked at Zhao Zhongyu with a serious look. Will everyone who becomes a powerful official lose their reason and lose their previous moral character?

The King of East China Sea is like this, and Gou Xi is like this now, but what about Zhao Hanzhang in the future?

King Donghai had a good reputation as a humble and approachable person when he was young. The emperor had met King Donghai before, and his humility and civilian-like character were not fake. It was also because of this that when he left Beijing, so many people followed him. run.

His power is one aspect, and his good reputation is also the basis for his trust.

But since he became the regent, the emperor has been strongly oppressed by him. He is arbitrary and arbitrary. He can make him displeased just by handling political affairs personally. He has also turned against Gou Xi and is no longer as humble and peaceful as before.

And Gou Xi, who used to be an upright and honest man, was well-known throughout the court. Before entering Luoyang, he was able to maintain his character. Why did he become an oppressive criminal and indulgent person after moving the capital?

The emperor lowered his eyes, feeling a little sad in his heart, "Zhao Shangshu, will the people around me become unrecognizable in the end?"

Zhao Zhongyu was also a little sad. Although he wanted Zhao Hanzhang to have more power and make the Zhao family stronger, he also wanted peace in the world.

If the government is stable and the world is at peace, why would he risk his life for this little power?

As long as Gou Xi was more humble and fair, and did not have Gou Chun, his younger brother who wanted to kill Zhao Hanzhang and seize the power of Yuzhou, he would advise Zhao Hanzhang to take a step back and the world would be brighter.

Therefore, if the world must be in chaos, then he must ensure that the Zhao family is undefeated.

Between the world and the clan, he cannot choose the world, he can only choose the clan.

Zhao Zhongyu closed his eyes, then opened them again and began to comfort the emperor in a gentle voice, "Why does your Majesty only look at the likes of King Gou Xi of the East China Sea, but not loyal ministers and good generals like Fu Zhongshu?"

Nowadays, there are many officials in the court who are loyal to the emperor and the Jin Dynasty. They wholeheartedly support orthodoxy, starting from the reign of Emperor Hui and continuing to the present.

In fact, Zhao Changyu and Zhao Zhongyu are also among them.

No matter how they planned for the family, they never thought of existing beyond the emperor. Even now, Zhao Zhongyu still wants to help Zhao Hanzhang control Luoyang and Yuzhou to ensure that the Zhao family survives in troubled times.

If the emperor is in danger, the Zhao family will naturally have to save the emperor. If he cannot, he will still have to support another Sima family to succeed him.

Except for a few people and normal courtiers, no one thought about changing the emperor's surname.
