[69 Book Bar-www.] After waiting in the snow for a while, some old and weak ministers were already trembling with cold. The hand stoves they brought during the morning court were probably burned out. If they waited, they might have died.
At this moment, a yellow-sect official walked out and whispered loudly: "The emperor went to court, and all officials advanced in sequence, and no noise should be made."
With my official position, if I want to go to court, I must be ranked last. However, today Ding Ximing and I were the followers brought in as the lord Wen, and we could follow the lord Wen, but we became the first batch. As soon as we entered the hall,
But I felt the heat was getting hot. The Emperor was getting weaker and weaker. During the morning court, I must have heated the hall before I could come in. I stood behind Wenhou and stood in the class. The officials behind me came in batches, including Pu Anli, and he
But he didn't even look at me directly. Pu Anli was the new Wuhou. Although his official position was on par with Wenhou, he naturally could not be compared with Wenhou in the eyes of everyone.
More than a hundred people are qualified to attend court. These more than a hundred people are people with high officials and generous salaries, but it is really a hard work to attend court in the morning. They walked very quickly, and they were afraid that they would attend court every day without closing their eyes.
You will go wrong. When the officials are arranged neatly, Wenhou will lead you to perform the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to the emperor above. Wenhou will go out to work and talk about the matter of reaching a joint military agreement with Wuyang City.
When He Congjing asked a king and a marquis to be the magistrate, several quick-witted men had already turned their attention to Pu Anli. After he finished speaking, the emperor said "Authentication" weakly, and the marquis Wen retreated.
At this time, Pu Anli's face looked extremely ugly. I'm afraid he could have guessed that the emperor has many sons and there are many princes in the imperial capital. It's not difficult to find one of the "one kings", but the "one marquis" is the one who belongs to him.
.At this time, he could only knock his teeth off and swallow them into his stomach, so he dared not object.
Wenhou later reported from some officials, nothing more than relief to the victims and repairing the city walls. When Wenhou handed over the memorial, I stood behind and did not leave work. After hearing the reports from several people, an official left.
When he came out, he said loudly: "Report to the Emperor, the empress, the minister and the counselor Nangong Wenli have a foundation."
His voice was very clear and echoed in the hall. When I heard Nangong Wenli come out, I raised my spirits again. Nangong Wenli was a confidant who was supported by the princess during her lifetime. Due to her identity, it was difficult for the princess to get to the court.
In the Chao Dynasty, there was probably anything that happened to Nangong Wenli. After the princess died, I was afraid that Nangong Wenli's life would not be easy.
The emperor said softly on it: "You are just talking about it."
Nangong Wenli said: "A few years ago, in order to save treasury expenditures, the Ministry of Personnel among the five ministries was abolished. However, I heard that the country wanted to be a great rule, and I should first Qing officials govern, reward the superiors and punish the inferior. I retreated and thought about it, and wanted to be a clean government.
, the Ministry of Personnel should actually resume.”
The officials of the imperial capital were divided into four departments: military, criminal, household and work. In the early years, they also added the Ministry of Personnel to form the five Ministers of the Minister of Personnel. Among them, the Minister of Personnel was Zhu Zhangju, which was the father of Zhu Tianwei, the commander of Tongcheng Camp during the Nanying of Wuhou.
Zhu Zhangjue was named Changping Bo, but this person has limited talent. The Ministry of Personnel has been established for several years, but it has made a mess. The administration is even more chaotic than when it was not established. Zhu Zhangjue was seriously ill, and his limbs were all gone and he could only lie on the bed. Zhu Zhangjue
As soon as the fall was over, the Ministry of Personnel could not support it, and the rebellion of Cangyue Gong made the treasury even more difficult, so he simply abolished the Ministry of Personnel to save expenses. Unexpectedly, Nangong Wenli proposed to restore it again, but I was afraid that the Emperor would not agree.
Sure enough, the Emperor just thought for a while and said, "Now, the state affairs are in chaos, everything needs to be frugal. This matter is put on hold and then discuss it. Nan Qing will retreat."
Nangong Wenli's surname is Nangong, but the Emperor called him "Nanqing". It seemed that he would be exhausted if he said a word more. Nangong Wenli retreated angrily. After he retreated, nothing big happened. Emperor
It seemed that he was half exhausted when summoning the ministers. He gasped for a few breaths and then left the morning court.
I had just been promoted to a general, so naturally I could not get promoted again, but I was rewarded. When I left the palace, I looked back at the hall. Among the snowflakes flying all over the sky, the hall looked gray and could not be seen.
The empire is really like this hall, not without its majesty, but still lifeless.
"Chu Xiuhong."
Wenhou suddenly called me, and I hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Sir, I will be here."
"I gave you three days off." He was stunned when he saw me and said with a smile: "Stay good rest and wash away the dust. After three days, my mansion will report. It's time for you to come back, and you'll be very useful, haha.
”
＊＊＊Ding Ximing and I were both awarded the title for our merits. Although the house was just a small yard, it was incomparable to the small house I lived in in the military academy before. There was also a small stable in the backyard.
Feiyu can be tied inside. In the past, I had to go to the tavern and sit in the tavern, but now I can have a banquet at the house. Wenhou assigned me a chef and two servants to offer me
I ordered and thought that I could invite them to my house to sit in the future, and this trip would not be rewarding.
I went to the courtyard to check it out. It was noon and the snow had stopped. There were still many things now. First of all, I had to go to the Forward Camp to call Zhuge Fang back, but this matter could be done tomorrow. Now that I have a new home, the most important thing is
I met with a few old friends. I took Feiyu out and went to Xue Wenyi. When I arrived at Xue Wenyi's house, I heard laughter inside. When I left, Xue Wenyi's wife was pregnant.
Is it that I have given birth now? I smiled and said, "Brother Xue, why are you so happy?"
Xue Wenyi heard my voice and said loudly: "Chu Xiuhong! Ha, Brother Wu, Brother Chu is back!"
It was Wu Wanling! I was happy. Wu Wanling has been fighting on the front line and rarely meets. I didn’t expect to meet him here. I smiled and said, “Is it Wu Wanling?”
Wu Wanling had already snatched it out and knelt down in front of me and said, "General Chu, the last general Wu Wanling is polite."
He is dressed beautifully now. I remember that before I went to Wuyang City, Xue Wenyi said that he had been promoted to the commander-in-chief, and now he is only three levels younger than me. Think about the four people we escaped from Gaojiu City together, although each of them had an opportunity.
Different, but they are all quite smooth. When I came back, Wu Wanling, who had the youngest official position, has now become an intermediate officer. According to his development, it has been a matter of two years since he was a general. I helped him up and said, "Brother Wu, long time no see you, you
Why are you so old? Don’t you treat me as a friend?”
When we escaped from Gaojiu City, we passed by Tianshui Province. Wu Wanling wanted to stay in Fudu City at that time, but ended up being Tao Shouzhuo's plan. The four of them were given to the Emperor as gifts from the Western Prefecture Army. That incident made me treat him very much.
I ignored him for a while. But as time passed, I felt that I was a little too much. Although it always made me feel a little painful when I couldn't see her again, my hatred for Wu Wanling had disappeared without a trace.
There is no trace, but looking at Wu Wanling's appearance, he seems to have a grudge in his heart. I deliberately said it intimately, so that he would not think too much.
Wu Wanling was a little embarrassed and said, "General Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have won the past with great strength. Now you are a general, right?"
When it comes to official titles, I can't help but feel a little proud. The partial general can be said to be the highest military rank among the generals who have risen to later. Now there are only twenty or thirty partial generals in the empire, most of whom are in their forties or fifties.
A few of them have even retired. Among the generals, I am the youngest. I said, "I'm laughing."
Wu Wanling said: "General Chu is both wise and brave, and is extremely heroic. I would have known that you would be able to rise soon. It is true."
