Chapter 119 Entering the palace to meet the Emperor Wu

The palace,

Hall of Care,

In the imperial study room, a huge bronze incense burner near the window wafted out of the blue smoke, and the best sandalwood filled the entire study room, making people feel refreshed.

Of course, there are bronze incense burners of this style in several main halls, which make the entire Yangxin Temple extremely fragrant.

The ethereal blue smoke floated in the air like a finger, and then slowly dissipated in the sky in the hall.

Zhang Jinyu was thinking completely. It was nothing to bow his head in other people's territory, just how to lower himself.

But then again, he said that the girl bowed his head and said, "What are the sayings about high ground? If you want to do it, do it thoroughly. Then you will talk about it first. Who will sell it? Isn't it?

Entering a partition, there is the Emperor's Imperial Study Room. The space is large and the windows are bright. In the innermost is a large desk and a high seat. There is also a smokeless charcoal stove next to it.

Still cooking fragrant tea.

Zhang Jinyu, who was kneeling on the ground as soon as he came in, was fierce and enthusiastic towards the airflow that broke through the smoke. Zhang Jinyu deliberately grinned and shouted loudly,

"My minister Zhang Jinyu met with Emperor Wu, wishing the emperor a happy and prosperous life with heaven forever, and long live our emperor."

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong was also shocked by Zhang Jinyu's actions, especially when he was kneeling on the ground, his mouth was so painful that it was cracked. He also joked in his heart that this little marquis is a wonderful person.

"Okay, how can you live that long? Get up."

Zhang Jinyu also thanked him immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When I got up, I didn't forget to rub my knees with my hands. It seemed a little swollen and had a mistake.

Seeing Zhang Jinyu's small movements, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong reminded,

"There is no need to kneel down in the armor, just a military salute."

Zhang Jinyu was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, Blue Star TV series hurt people. Then he stood up straight and saluted again.

"I have admired the emperor for a long time, and my admiration is like the water of An Lake. I can't help but see Your Majesty!"

Dai Quan was stunned when he saw this scene. He had seen so many court officials. This was the first time he had seen such an exaggerated scene.

Although Emperor Wu is strange, he is not always surprised. People are different, let alone the first time I came here, I can understand that I have never seen the world.

"Marty Luo Yun, it is the first time I have met you. People are as good as their name, gentle as jade, and good talent. I hope you are still the loyal and brave general of the garrison outside the pass."

Zhang Jinyu still doesn't understand the emperor's hint,

"I will always be the garrison general outside Dawu's pass. I will never throw the Luoyun Plain to the foreign tribes when I am here."

"Okay, I am very pleased. As long as you are loyal, the imperial court in the pass will still support you, and I will also support you."

"Please rest assured, your Majesty, I am going to fight wherever I am."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong looked at Zhang Jinyu with greater satisfaction.

"By the way, have you seen it when you go back to the Marquis' Mansion in Beijing? If there is something unsatisfactory in the mansion I gave you, I will tell Dai Quan, the chief supervisor, that he will change it for you."

Emperor Wu pointed at Dai Quan, the chief supervisor standing beside him, and the latter smiled slightly.

Zhang Jinyu thought to himself that this old eunuch is the chief supervisor of the big inner court, and his status is comparable to that of nine thousand years old. It turns out that people cannot be regarded as presumptuous.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I have not been there yet. After entering the city, I came to the palace directly, but I must be very satisfied. The blessings of rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, let alone such a big house, I am very satisfied."

"Look, look, Dai Quan, this little marquis is really good at speaking."

Dai Quan also agreed.

"It's better that the emperor knows talents with keen eyes, otherwise he would have seen such a loyal and brave person."

"Haha, that's right. Are you okay on your way to Beijing this time?"

Zhang Jinyu thought about it and said something about it on the road. It seems that this emperor is not a foolish puppet.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the road is safe. But I encountered robbers in Zhongshan County, and I wiped out them. Then I hid in a village in heavy rain. When I saw that the village was not bad, I wanted to occupy it. I left two. Thousands of people and horses are there to take care of them and wait for the slaves to arrive in the later stage to make a farming process.”

After hearing this, Emperor Wu understood where the two thousand missing men went. The north was still chaotic, and the Marquis of Luo Yun was still loyal.

"I understand this. Why did you run to Fuling County again? I heard that you have become sworn brothers with the county magistrate Chen Xueshi, but this is the case."

Zhang Jinyu felt nervous when he heard this question. Good guy, is the Imperial City Division in Guannei that powerful?

"When you go back to your Majesty, there is indeed this matter. As soon as I arrived at Fuling County, the governor of County Chen took me to drink with me, gave me a lot of treasures and money, and wanted to become sworn brothers with me. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed in a daze. .”

"Well, it's still honest. The old fox Chen Xueshi is still so direct in calculating people. You, be your marquis in the future, and those civil servants should be careful, don't get involved with the court officials, and tell me if you have something to do. .”

Emperor Wu seemed to be reproaching, but he was extremely concerned. Dai Quan knew that the emperor rarely spoke to his subordinates like this, and Mr. Luo Yun was in the emperor's heart.

"Yes, your majesty, I will ignore them."

"You, just keep a distance. You are not asking you to ignore them. It's okay to forget this time. And why did you come to the capital? What's the point of bringing so many war horses?"

After an seemingly unintentional question, Zhang Jinyu still cheered up and said that this was the matter.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am about to talk about this. In the Battle of Pingyang, there were 50,000 cavalry among the reinforcements, and the war horses were also supported by other border troops. Fortunately, the emperor's vassal was the governor, so I had no choice but to repay him. I thought about dedicating these war horses to the Lord.”

"Oh? What Mr. Luo Yun said is true. What should you do outside the pass? It would be impossible without cavalry."

"When I go back to your Majesty, I commanded the three cities and started to collect all the war horses, which was enough for me to use outside the pass. The rest of me felt that the emperor still needed it more, so I took the initiative to bring it to you. Please accept it with you. .”

Emperor Wu sat there without answering, and kept lit the table with one finger, as if thinking,

It is an indisputable fact that Dawu lacks war horses, but after all, it is not very short. The imperial guards can't even get together the war horses of the first army. Thinking of those border troops, Emperor Wu's fingers hit harder.

"Marty Luo Yun, can you take this truth?"

"Don't deceive the king."

Emperor Wu slapped the table and said, "Okay."

"Dai Quan, immediately ordered someone to notify the Imperial Guard Kang Guichen who led the Imperial Guard and drag the war horses to the Imperial Guard camp, and no one can stop them."

"It's Your Majesty, I'll do it now,"

Dai Quan took the warrant and went outside to explain the eunuch, ordering him to spread the matter of Kang Guichen, the commander of the Imperial Army.

"Mr. Luo Yun, tell me what you want? You can talk to me."

Emperor Wu was in a good mood, and his years of hidden wish was fulfilled. The more he looked at Zhang Jinyu, the more he liked him.

Zhang Jinyu dared to ask for anything? On the Blue Star, I knew that the free one was the more expensive it was. The more I said I didn’t want it, the more I wanted it. I heard it the other way around. Another horse was patting it over.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I don't want anything. I also want to thank Your Majesty for promoting me to the last moments, and I remember it in my heart."

"You boy, wait and think about it."

Emperor Wu was also thinking about a way to achieve the best of both worlds and see if he could win the favor. He suddenly glanced at the memorial on the table. It was the military officer He Yongxi who reported that a large number of refugees were gathered outside the capital, and there was a disaster.

"Zhang Aiqing, I ask you, is there a shortage of people outside the pass?"

"Well, your Majesty is referring to."

"It is those people, I want to lead those refugees to your residence outside the pass to settle farming, which can not only alleviate the pressure from the court but also solve the problem of insufficient population outside the pass."

Zhang Jinyu had this idea, but the resettlement cost and consumption on the road were quite large. The number of refugees was not tens of thousands, so it might be millions. Zhang Jinyu directly said,

"I want to agree, but I have no money."

"Ha ha."

Emperor Wu laughed out loud, he was so honest. This was also a question. What should I do? I looked up at Dai Quan and asked;

"Dai Quan, what do you do? How can I arrange the money if I lead the refugees outside the customs?"

Dai Quan had already thought of the answer when the emperor said this and replied confidently,

"By your Majesty, this matter is not too expensive, it's just that there are so many people."

"Then you can talk about it carefully, how can you do this less method?"

Zhang Jinyu also looked at the old eunuch, wanting to hear what he has in his opinion. There are so many people, no matter how little people eat horses and chew horses, it is an astronomical figure.

Dai Quan was also thinking that since the refugees gave them food to live, they might as well give them all slaves to Luo Yun, which would be considered as compensation to the Marquis. The refugees boarded a boat from Anhu, the capital, and transported it to Shanyang County through the canal.

When hiking outside the customs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs paid half of the cost and the Marquis paid half of the cost. As for the clothes of refugees, the Ministry of Internal Affairs stored a lot of cotton coats in stock over the years, and giving them to them was a great merit.

Dai Quan told this idea,

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it. He decided the life and death of so many people in just a few words.

Emperor Wu also thought about this after hearing this, especially during this period, there were more and more refugees, and they were afraid that they would cause trouble. This matter was OK. I need to ask whether Mr. Luo Yun agrees.

"What about your opinion?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, I agree, but if so many people become slaves of me, it will be difficult for me to deal with if there are some gossip in the court."

"Don't ask about this. This is what the Office of the Internal Affairs and your Marquis' Mansion do. Don't worry about them. If they say they will solve the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, I may promise him."

"Then I will thank the emperor for saving his life on behalf of those refugees."

"Yeah, I've accepted it."

Zhang Jinyu was still a little worried. If there were so many people, what if someone didn’t want to go, wouldn’t this good thing become a bad thing? I still want this reputation.

"Your Majesty, I have another thing. What if the refugees are unwilling to go outside the pass, after all, they are bitter, cold and poor outside the pass."

Emperor Wu didn't care at all.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for this matter. You only need to arrange someone to pick him up outside the customs. As for those who don't want to go, probably there must be no one."

Looking at the cold eyes of Emperor Wu, Zhang Jinyu knew that the emperor in front of him was also a cruel and ruthless person and he needed to be careful in the future.
