Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth things to sleep temporarily
"Therefore, a wise king does not follow the good that comes naturally, but follows the inevitable path." [Han Feizi·Xianxue]
Weiyang Palace, Xuanshi Palace.
Pingzhun Cheng Bao Chuzheng, who was temporarily wearing the royal seal, reported the murder incident to the emperor with a face full of shame: "...I and others searched hard and finally found traces of the thief in the alley. After inspection, most of the dead were Qiang and Hu. As for the leader,
But I have never seen it.”
"To be clear, did he never show up, or did he let him escape beforehand?" The emperor's tone seemed to be slightly dissatisfied.
Bao Chu lowered his head and quickly added: "Your Majesty, we have never seen the leader of the thief. Perhaps he has fled long ago and is no longer in the city."
After a long silence, the emperor could only be heard saying softly: "That's it. This matter is over here. There is no need to investigate it in a big way. Even if it is said that he is a vendetta by a ranger, there is no other excuse."
"I promise." Bao Chu understood the stakes in this. Although Zhang Chao had been deposed for his crime, he was still a member of the scholars. He was killed rashly and was still thrown into the streets in such a humiliating way.
Fortunately, Zhang Chao died before that. Although the head was preserved and not rotted, it was still dehydrated to a certain extent. Coupled with the damage caused by falling from a high altitude, few people could recognize the head.
identity.
As long as the head is disposed of, and the emperor guides public opinion and reduces the major issue to a trivial matter, things will be easy to handle: "After I return, I will definitely monitor the rumors and investigate secretly.
They are traitors. They are wandering around the capital. I have neglected my duty. I hope your majesty will allow me to accept the crime and establish my cause."
"Chang'an City is very important, and we really need to investigate carefully one by one to prevent chaos." The emperor's face softened a little, and he said that he was an upright and courageous man, but he was not economical and had different calculations. He was not a suitable leader for Pingzhun Supervisor.
.This is also the reason why after Jia Xu was promoted to Zhizhi Xiuyi Envoy, the emperor delayed in letting Ping Zhuncheng Bao succeed him.
Seeing that Bao Chu's thinking was quite quick now, the emperor put aside his momentary displeasure and simply gave him a chance: "But you cannot shoulder this burden all by yourself. There will be an edict issued to Zhijinwu in the future, and the city gate
Xiaowei, Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an Ling and others must strictly guard the gates and huts, and strictly interrogate anyone who encounters suspicion. Especially those with Hebei accents and Liangzhou accents must be investigated carefully. If during the Eastern Expedition, Chang'an comes out
If you cause the slightest trouble, you will all be punished!"
"Wei Wei!" Bao responded with a trembling voice.
"I will inform you of this in the edict, and Sima Fang should know it after the ambush." The emperor nodded slightly and said, "You can retreat."
Bao Chu slowly walked out of the hall and breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly realized that his back was already soaked with sweat.
It's not easy to be an official, it's not easy to be an official.
Bao Chu murmured to himself, looking back at the high eaves of the announcement room, which almost covered half of the sky.
"Your Majesty." After Bao left, the attendant Xun You who was sitting with him spoke up: "Now not only has Yuan Shao sent people to communicate with Han Sui, but the court's lobbying of the powerful people in Hebei has also been exposed in Yuan Shao's eyes."
"Zhang Chao was killed, and Zhang He's attitude..." The emperor remembered that Zhang He was one of the old generals of the Yuan family who surrendered to Cao Cao in history. He thought that with the friendship between Zhang Chao and Zhang He's fellow villagers, and the prestige of the imperial court today, he would
It was said that Zhang He's surrender was almost within reach, but who knew that something like this would happen on the way.
Yuan Shao's move seemed to vent his anger, demonstrate, and give the emperor some color, but in fact it inadvertently revealed that Yuan Shao had begun to have doubts about the people around him. Zhang Chao was not the only person in the court who contacted the powerful people in Hebei. As long as Yuan Shao had already
Adding fire to the suspicion is enough to cause it to collapse internally.
"In ancient times, the emperor always paid attention to the uprightness, use of time, and persuasion to surrender. I thought it was all trivial and trivial. Whether it succeeded or not had nothing to do with the overall situation." In comparison, Xun You didn't care what Zhang He's attitude was, no matter what time it was.
, people's hearts are unreliable, only what is visible and tangible is strength, so he said seriously: "Since Your Majesty wants to conquer the world with 'righteousness', he must defeat the traitors of the Yuan family with 'righteousness', and let the
The people of the world are convinced."
The emperor said sternly: "What Mr. Xun said is absolutely true. The more Yuan Shao shows his claws and claws to me, the more guilty he is. Now is the time for the Eastern Expedition! I want to take this opportunity to provoke a court discussion and bring trouble to the east."
It's brought to Han Sui's head, but I can't let him get his wish."
Xun You stood up from the table, raised his hands to the emperor and said: "Now the three armies are ready, and the soldiers are working hard. We only need the imperial edict to arrive in Guandong in a few days. After four or five years of rest and recuperation, the Han Dynasty will be revived. It all depends on this battle!"
The emperor was also very happy. After so many years of preparation, he could finally defeat the enemy with one blow, unify the world, and renew the prosperous age. What a great achievement it was. It took Emperor Gao seven years to conquer the world, and it took Emperor Guangwu ten years to conquer the world.
Two years, the time I need may be shorter.
He will hold the power of the world before he is twenty years old. Even though the emperor's mental age is old enough, it is enough to make him happy.
The imperial court's expedition to Guandong was almost a matter of course. All that was left was an edict and a message. Everyone was busy with it and didn't even have time to care about whose head was lost in the East and West markets.
In Yeting, Fu Shou has been very busy recently. She heard people say that when the war starts, it will be in March or May at least, or three or four years at most. In order to dress the emperor well, and to find something to do for himself, Fu Shou
Shou picked up the needle and thread with her own hands and rushed to make clothes for the emperor. When there was not enough manpower, she asked the Zhao family, Zou family and other palace servants to pick girls together. Sometimes the Song Dynasty came over bored, and Fu Shou would pull her in.
"Is it sewn like this?" Song Du picked up a semi-finished product and showed it to Fu Shou.
When Zou and others saw it, they all laughed.
Fu Shou also reluctantly took it, skillfully took apart the needlework and started to modify it, while teaching carefully. Song Du listened intently, nodding and yawning from time to time. She was really not interested in female workers.
If you have this time, you might as well go play on the swing. If you had known earlier, you wouldn't have come here to invite Fu Shou, otherwise you wouldn't have been dragged into working as a female worker by her.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Fu Shou was not angry. He just stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "If you don't learn now, when you have children in the future, won't you have to ask others to knit your underwear?"
"Why not?" Song Du said casually, and then he reacted and his face turned red: "Are you laughing at me?"
Fu Shou smiled and denied, "I didn't laugh at you."
The emperor had been recruiting concubines frequently recently, the most frequent ones were Empress Dong and Song Du. Hearing that the empress had already been favored, Fu Shou thought that with Song Du's favor, it was a matter of course that she should be favored.
She wanted to ask Song Du several times when she saw him, but every time what happened in the room came to her lips, she could never say it. Now she was making insinuations. Seeing Song Du's expression, Fu Shou claimed that he had discovered a clue and confirmed it.
After guessing, I felt no joy in my heart, but rather a little disappointed.
