Chapter 270 Grandpa Emperor, Scarecrow
really.
After thinking for a while, Tang Chen nodded, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.
"What Censor Chu just mentioned is indeed very good. Whether it is sending people from the Imperial Hospital to go or asking the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War to work together to help, they can quickly address the impact of the plague."
"You should follow the Censor Chu in the future, and study hard and don't put your attention down to the departments you govern."
"What the king said is that we have short-sighted eyes."
"Civilian Chu, we will follow you in the future and study hard."
"Yes, Censor Chu, you can teach us well in the future so that our eyes can be raised to the same level as you."
After hearing Tang Chen's words, the other ministers in the hall nodded repeatedly, and then flattered Chu Zhan in a series of ways.
Chu Zhan's face was calm for all the pleasing voices around him, but he felt a little joy in his heart.
After all, you don’t wear flattery.
He Chu Zhan is a human being, so he naturally has vanity.
At this time, Qian Jiao, who had been sitting behind Tang Chen, also pointed his eyes at Chu Zhan, with deep eyes and no idea what he was thinking.
At this moment, the jade slip on Chu Zheng's waist shimmered slightly.
When Chu Zheng opened the jade slip, he was stunned when he saw the contents of the jade slip, and then showed a hint of joy. He looked up at Tang Chen and said, "Your Majesty, there is news coming from Tang Hong, the lord of Shangcheng City."
"What news?" Tang Chen asked.
"Tang Hong said a girl in white robe presented a prescription that can control the plague."
Chu Zheng looked at the jade slip and said.
"Oh? Are there any prescriptions for the plague?"
"Yes, this is a good thing!"
Tang Chen nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
If the plague can be controlled as soon as possible, the court will not have to go to help.
After hearing Chu Zheng's words, other first-rank ministers nodded secretly.
If there is a prescription that can solve the plague, they won't have to work hard.
"Chu Zheng, tell Tang Hong that you should give the woman in white robe who gave her medicine a big reward."
"The news from Tang Hong, in addition to mentioning the prescription for dealing with the plague, the woman in white robe who presented the prescription wanted to be the deputy city lord of the city."
Chu Zheng continued.
"The deputy city lord of the upper city?"
"Is that woman in white robe a little greedy?"
"Yes, Shangcheng is considered a major city in our Tang Dynasty. How can we promote a woman who doesn't know the background?"
The ministers who had nodded secretly before frowned after hearing Chu Zheng's words, and felt that the woman in white robe was too greedy.
And Tang Chen also frowned slightly.
Although the upper city is far away from the court, it is also a relatively important county town. Tang Chen has to be careful when he chooses the deputy city lord.
After a while, Tang Chen looked up at Chu Zhan and said, "Civilian Chu, what should you do if you say this?"
Chu Zhan thought for a moment, then analyzed: "Your Majesty, the prescription offered by this woman in white robe can deal with the plague. This is definitely a great achievement. It is understandable to propose to serve as the deputy city lord of Shangcheng."
"And the position of deputy city lord of the upper city is also a relatively important position. If a person who is not familiar with the imperial court is rashly held, it is normal for the king and the ministers to worry."
"Let me do this, I would like to take people to the upper city to investigate the background of the woman in the white robe. If the background of the woman in the white robe is fine, it would be fine to let her serve as the deputy city lord of the upper city. If this woman in the white robe can manage the upper city in the future, it would be best. If it doesn't work, then the king can find an excuse to transfer the woman in the white robe to other less important county towns."
When Tang Chen heard this, he showed a thoughtful look.
After a while, he nodded and said, "This is a good idea."
"If I don't give this woman in white robe some rewards, it may have caused the hearts of the Tang Dynasty."
"Let's do this, Censor Chu, you will take people to Shangcheng from tomorrow. In addition to investigating the background of this woman in white robe, you can also assess other officials in Shangcheng. If those officials have no problems, then promote their positions as appropriate."
In addition to commending the woman in white robe, Tang Chen also commended other officials in the upper city, which was a model. In this way, when plague occurred in other county towns in the Tang Dynasty, local officials could also fulfill their loyal duties.
"Okay, then I'll take people to the Upper Town tomorrow."
Chu Zhan nodded.
Next, everyone handed over the last memorial that Tang Chen needed to review, and after discussing some things, they left Chaoyang Palace.
From beginning to end, Qian Jiao, who was sitting behind Tang Chen, did not speak.
After everyone left, Tang Chen turned around and looked at Qian Jiao behind him, with a smile on his face and said, "Grandpa Emperor, I didn't expect that you would be shut down for five hundred years."
Grandpa Huang, it is not that Qian Jiao is really Tang Chen's grandfather, but Qian Jiao is Tang Chen's father and Tang Ding's third uncle.
For convenience, Tang Chen called Qianjiao Emperor Grandpa.
"Tang Chen, after five hundred years of separation, I really didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would undergo a drastic change."
"Tang Ding was assassinated and Tang Yong rebelled. It is indeed not easy for you to stabilize the Tang Dynasty under such a situation."
Qian Jiao smiled and his voice was a little hoarse.
"By the way, Grandpa Emperor, since you have come out of seclusion, you must have reached the realm of Transformation of God?"
Perhaps it was because Qian Jiao had some magic weapon, Tang Chen could not see through the former's strength for a while.
"Just lucky."
Qian Jiao didn't care.
Suddenly remembering something, Qian Jiao asked, "Tang Chen, I think everyone who held the meeting today is very unfamiliar. Please introduce it to me."
"good."
"The one who stood on the far left of the team was Zhijing of the Ministry of Revenue..."
"The second to last is Chu Zheng, who had served as the county magistrate of Dongjun before. Later, after I ascended the throne, I transferred him to the palace to assist me in handling the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty."
"As for the one on the far right, named Chu Zhan, is the censor and the supervisor. He was the commander of the royal city before, and he had served as the lord of Qingcheng before."
Tang Chen explained to Qian Jiao one by one.
"Qingcheng?"
Qian Jiao was stunned.
"Grandpa Emperor, don't you know Qingcheng?"
"Qingcheng is a county town in Dongjun. Many years ago, you personally managed Dongjun. Later, because you were imprisoned, you returned Dongjun to the court. Later, the court asked Chu Zheng to manage it."
Tang Chen stared at the Qian Jiao behind him with some confusion.
Although his emperor's grandfather was imprisoned, he had been in charge of Dongjun for two hundred years and should not forget the Qingcheng place.
"Maybe I'm older and have a bad memory."
"Or maybe I just came out of seclusion and I don't have a clear memory."
Qian Jiao laughed at himself.
And Tang Chen didn't care.
"By the way, Tang Chen, what is the origin of this Chu Zhan? He will be directly promoted from the position of the Lord of Qingcheng City to the position of the commander of the royal city."
"Grandpa Emperor, this Chu Zhan has no special origin, but his son is a bit unusual. His son Chu Feng is an honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect."
"You don't know yet. Now Shushan Sword has sent a combination of Jiujian Immortal. This Jiujian Immortal has killed the peerless monster from 100,000 years ago, the Heavenly Demon Emperor. In order to make friends with Shushan Sword Sect, our Tang Dynasty naturally has to promote Chu Zhan."
"And for the sake of the future of the Tang Dynasty, I also gave [Tang King Order] to Chu Feng."
Tang Chen replied.
Um?
[Tang King's Order]?
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Qian Jiao's eyes.
"I really didn't expect that so many things happened during my seclusion."
"It is a very correct choice to promote this Chu Zhan and send [Tang King's Order] to Chu Feng."
"Tang Chen, I haven't come to the royal city for a long time, so I'll go down and take a walk first."
"Grandpa Emperor, go slowly."
"Well, stop sending it, let's deal with the memorials sent by the ministers first."
"good."
After a while, Qian Jiao left the palace alone and came to a remote corner. Here, a man was waiting quietly. The man also wore the same black mask. He was completely another Qian Jiao.
The Qianjiao raised his fingers gently, and the spiritual energy flashed, and another Qianjiao black mask fell off.
What is shocking is that the black mask is not a human face, but a straw face. Qian Jiao who came out of the palace was not a living person at all, but a scarecrow...
