"Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have listened personally, turned around, turned off the phone and closed the door." [Thanks to the Governor of Chaozhou]
Thousands of feet of golden light shines on the water of Cangchi. Countless pieces of gold and silver are like water ripples and are surging under the railings facing the water. The roof reflects the golden reflection, and follows the sound of voices not far away that rise and fall. With.
Another hoarse voice said: "In my opinion, we should have acted prudently at the beginning. We shouldn't have...I didn't mean to criticize you. What I meant was that since the imperial court appointed Yuan Shu as Yangzhou Shepherd and General, now he He not only gathered a crowd to cause rebellion and invaded Xuzhou, but also used the power and position given to him by the imperial court to appoint officials. He completely failed the emperor's hard work! Although this person needs to be severely punished, how to take care of the dignity of the imperial court must be carefully considered. "
The voice was rough and hoarse, and Chen Ji couldn't help but think of the warrior who often screamed on the battlefield. Considering this person's unique name for the emperor, it was not difficult for him to guess the identity of this person.
The young man's voice was still clear despite the sound of wind and water around him: "You are right. Yuan Shu has indeed let me down for all my hard work. He stripped wealthy people in Nanyang and plundered them. These things I They all heard about it. However, because of his reputation as a Yuan family member, he could not bear to be blamed, so he gave him a second chance to repent and make a new start. However, this man was stubborn and did not know how to commend himself. In the end, it is not the fault of the imperial court to pay homage first and then fight. …Wu Shuo, add these words of Shicai to the edict, make it clear, and let the people of the world know the imperial court’s intentions.”
"I promise." A voice that had never expressed an opinion before responded.
A second chance... This is in line with the king's principle of benevolence and forgiveness. Chen Ji nodded, but looking back, he still couldn't conceal the emperor's method of using "name" to control people.
The young man's voice echoed in the Taixuan, like a clear spring gushing on the stone, or a studious child reciting the scriptures word for word: "I will immediately depose Yuan Shu from the post of Yangzhou Shepherd and take away his vacation. Keep standing staff to serve in the government, and then let them withdraw from the army...Don't use edicts, use precepts, the words should be harsh, and you should give them a good reprimand."
Wu Shuo only agreed and said nothing. He was obviously drafting the edict on the spot, choosing words and sentences, and not daring to be distracted.
I heard the young man say again: "As for Yangzhou... I heard that Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, has repeatedly shown kindness and kindness there, and he is a famous scholar in Wu and is well-respected by the public. I think he will be appointed as the governor and run Yangzhou for the imperial court." "
"I think this is not possible. According to the law of 'Three Interactions', Lu Jining is from Wu County and is not suitable to be the governor of Yangzhou." A voice that sounded very loyal said: "I recommend Wei Jie, the governor of Yuzhang, who is from Youfufeng and has a good reputation. His name is Qing, and he was an infantry captain of the Northern Army. He knows military affairs and is loyal to the imperial court. If this person is appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, he will be able to assemble a common people and contain Yuan Shu for the imperial court."
"This is Lord Situ Magong." Seeing Chen Ji's confused expression, Zhao Yan explained softly from the side.
It turned out to be the Fufeng Township Party. Chen Ji could barely hear Ma Rixi's voice clearly. Just now, this person should have secretly agreed with the censor to impeach Fu Rui. He must have done it for his own selfish reasons. Although he felt disdain in his heart, he also thought that the other party was at this moment. The reasons are indeed very good, and compared with Lu Kang, it is more suitable.
"But, let Wei Jie be the governor of Yangzhou. After all, he is a person who came out of my hands. He knows the basics and can use it with confidence." The young man did not hesitate, as if he had forgotten that he had just scolded him. He readily agreed. When he came down, he continued: "I ordered you to pay homage to Lu Kang, the prefect of Kuaiji, General Jia Pingnan, and grant him the title of Marquis of Ting. He had 300 households living in the city. Then he asked his son to join the court as a doctor. With these two people here, things in Jiangdong should be taken care of." No worries."
It was still the same low voice: "The Wu Commandery Captain Xu Gong and the prefect Sheng Xian are at odds in private. The discord will inevitably lead to chaos and hinder major events. Why not transfer him to be the prefect of Yuzhang? Firstly, to win over the hearts of the Jiangdong scholars, and secondly, to avoid
There will be disputes in the future.”
"Hmm." The young man said, "Now that the personnel arrangements in Yangzhou have been completed, it's time to talk about the land of Xuzhou. Where is Jian Yong, the envoy sent by Prime Minister Liu Bei, now?"
"I'm still at Donghai Mansion, preparing to see you tomorrow," someone said.
The young man acted vigorously and said immediately: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow. I will summon him to Chengming Hall today to see what the situation is in Xuzhou now. I would like you to find out for me first."
Jian Yong did not have a very important official position and was not qualified to meet the emperor directly. He asked the three princes in power to meet and agree with the imperial court on his behalf. Jian Yong followed Chen Ji's car all the way to Chang'an. Chen Ji felt guilty and could not
He was willing to take the initiative to see the other party. When he heard the emperor mention Jian Yong's name and said that he wanted to inquire about the situation in Xuzhou, he couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart.
"Your Majesty." Everyone sang together, and it seemed that they were getting ready to leave the meeting.
"Mr. Zhao stayed behind, and Mu Shun went to summon Mr. Chen."
Chen Ji was refreshed. He had just silently eavesdropped on so many confidential words. He thought he had a good understanding of the emperor's intelligence and temperament, and now he had a deeper understanding.
He noticed the movement inside, and quickly stood in the center, with his hands lowered in a respectful manner. The Xiaoxuan where he was and where the emperor and others were were connected by a verandah. The emperor's seat should be facing Cangchi, with Lai behind him.
Naturally, the road of time will not be walked at this moment, so Ma Rixi and others chose to walk out from the verandah on the side. The soft curtain was moved a few times, and then Mu Shun opened it.
The first ones to come out were naturally Ma Rixi, Dong Cheng and the other three princes, followed by the attendant Yang Qi, the minister Yang Zan and others.
Almost all of these people are familiar faces. When Dong Zhuo controlled the government and recruited celebrities, Chen Ji was worshiped as a minister. Therefore, he, Ma Rixi, Yang Qi and others were considered to be friends when they were in Luoyang.
We were old acquaintances, but later he disobeyed Dong Zhuo's proposal to move the capital and made Dong Zhuo unhappy, so he quickly accepted the imperial edict to confer him the title of Pingyuan Prime Minister and hurried out to take up his post.
At that time, the imperial court planned to appoint him as a Situ, but when he left, there were also seals to pursue the imperial servants and conquer the ministers. Chen Ji was afraid of Dong Zhuo's power and refused to obey orders. If it were not for these stories, he would have been a third prince at this time.
Zaifu, a figure who stands side by side with Ma Rixi and others.
Seeing Ma Rixi and others approaching one after another, Chen Jiwu remained motionless. When they were still a few steps away from him, he moved his body and made a gesture of worship.
"Slow, slow!" Yang Zan quickly took a step forward, stretched out his hand to support Chen Ji, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is an old man of our ancestors, and his virtue is worthy of him. It's up to me to worship you."
"Is there any reason in the world for three ministers to worship nine ministers? No, no, don't mess up the system for me." Chen Ji was unmoved and insisted on bowing down according to the etiquette.
Dong Cheng looked at the two of them with cold eyes and treated each other politely. He wanted to say in his heart, "There are Han courtiers here, and there are no famous people. You can worship them when you need them." But he also knew that saying this would definitely arouse public anger.
He simply changed his tune and said slightly impatiently: "The imperial system cannot be abolished. I will just bow to Chen Ping. Your Majesty is still waiting to see you."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Yang Zan's face, and he naturally accepted this statement. Then Ma Rixi, Dong Cheng, Yang Qi, Yang Zan and others bowed to Chen Ji, while Wu Shuo treated him as a junior.
He bowed to Chen Ji with a gesture of respect.
After the virtual ceremony, when Chen Ji passed by Yang Zan and others, he softly left the words "Please let me reminisce about the past." Then, under the guidance of Mu Shun, he walked into the middle of the Diaoyutai.
