Situ Zhao Wen looked at the documents on the whole case and sighed.
The voices of Sikong Zhang Xi and Yang Biao from the Great Honglu were heard outside the door. Zhao Wen looked up and slapped the table and shouted.
"You guys are leisurely, I'm almost in a hurry."
Zhang Xi laughed. "The emperor has already won a great victory. Why are you still anxious? I was about to give Wen Xian off when I was called by you. It's so annoying."
"You're giving him a farewell?" Zhao Wen sneered: "I'm afraid I'm trying to get some cheap fur again."
"Zhao Zirou!" Zhang Xi couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice: "In your eyes, is this kind of person?"
"Dare you dare to say no?" Zhao Wen did not show any weakness.
"No." Zhang Xi said seriously: "I want more war horses than fur." After that, he laughed out loud.
Zhao Wen also smiled and pointed at Zhang Xi. "It's so embarrassing that Zhang, Runan, has a child like you."
"You are not embarrassed." Zhang Xi retorted. "I heard that most of the Shu tea shipped to Hedong recently came from Dajia in Chengdu, and there were several people with the surname Zhao."
Zhao Wen's face changed slightly. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Yang Biao.
"Okay, stop fighting, you all restrain yourself. A gentleman loves money and makes it easy to get it." Yang Biao said lightly.
Situ, Sikong was so polite about business and profit, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi closed their mouths awkwardly.
"Wenxian, Ji Li, I invite you here today, there is something to discuss." Zhao Wen coughed and put away his smile. "The emperor needs a large number of officials to rebuild the border counties. Hedong has already heard of the news. Taiyuan, Shangdang will soon be able to do so.
Get the news. My gate to Situ Mansion will soon be as clamoring as the market."
Zhang Xi immediately became energetic. "This is a good thing, why is Zirou worried?"
Zhao Wen looked at Zhang Xi. "The emperor will farm in Henan, and he needs to know about water conservancy workers to help clear the ditches. As Sikong, should you take a trip?"
The smile on Zhang Xi's face froze. He shook his hand repeatedly. "I'm not used to cow's milk and goat's milk. When I drink it, my belly will feel like a drum."
"Do you know anyone good at water conservancy?"
Zhang Xi pondered for a long time, but still shook his head.
Zhao Wen was a little unhappy. As Sikong, Zhang Xi had the most opportunity to contact someone who was familiar with water conservancy. She wanted to ask him to recommend one or two candidates, but she never thought that Zhang Xi knew nothing.
I don’t know what Sikong has done normally.
"I know there is someone." Yang Biao said: "It's just that his surname is Yuan."
"It turns out to be Yuan of Chen County, that's fine." Zhang Xi waved his hand. "Cai Boyi's mother is Yuan Pang's sister, and they are in-laws. Now Cai Boyi's daughter is the emperor's wife and is deeply trusted by the emperor.
What's wrong with Yuan Min? Since it's a matter of water and soil, let's get rid of it by our Sikong Mansion."
Zhao Wen and Yang Biao looked at each other and showed sneering at the same time.
Zhang Xi is not humble at all in his fight for contributions.
However, since Yuan Min is from Chen County, it is better to be eliminated by Zhang Xilai. The villagers take care of each other and support each other is a tacit principle. Only when it is not convenient for him to come forward will others be invited to eliminate him.
Zhao Wen said something else.
The emperor won a great victory in the northern border, and the situation in Bingzhou changed drastically. As the three ministers, they naturally had to prepare in advance.
As the Great Master in charge of the affairs of the vassal states, Yang Biao immediately set off for Meiji to meet the emperor. Some matters were discussed in advance, so that Yang Biaoshun could also ask the emperor to make a decision.
For example, the issue of Wang Yun’s sons entering the government.
After Wang Yun was killed, some of his children were killed, while others fled back to their hometowns. Although the son regained power today, the Western Liang forces were still there, and how to deal with Wang Yun's children became a very sensitive topic. To avoid it, Conflicts must be coordinated at the beginning of their tenure and avoid direct contact as much as possible.
Of course, these all need to be recognized by the emperor.
If the emperor does not agree, all this will be in vain.
From the emperor's usual words, it can be seen that he was not grateful to Wang Yun, and he seemed to have some opinions about Shi Sun Rui, who contacted the Wang family's children.
In the recently received edict, Ma Teng, the former general of the Western Expedition, was awarded the title of Weiwei for his merits.
The hope of Shi Sun Rui's reinstatement no longer exists.
Speaking of these things, several old ministers were worried.
It was a good thing for the emperor to win a great victory. But after the great victory, the emperor's tendency to act arbitrarily became more and more obvious.
Of course, you can say that this is because the old ministers are not around, and the emperor can only make arbitrary decisions. But from another perspective, the emperor stays in the northern border and does not return, which may have deliberately caused this situation and prevented the old ministers from having the opportunity to speak.
Yang Biao took the initiative to go to northern Xinjiang to explore the emperor's wishes.
As he was talking, someone came outside to report that the Grandpa Zhao Qi was here.
Zhao Wen and others were surprised and quickly stood up to greet them.
After a while, Zhao Qi walked in with a tribute. In addition to a few officials, there was also a middle-aged man in Confucian uniform. He was of medium size, but his eyes were bright and his steps were vigorous, and he had no fatigue of traveling for a long distance. , completely different from others.
"Biqing, you are back." Zhao Wen took Zhao Qi's hand and sighed. "I heard you are sick?"
Zhao Qi smiled slightly. "Yes, I almost died in Chenliu. Fortunately, I met a miracle doctor, and my skillful hands rejuvenated." He turned around and pointed at the Confucian scholar. "This is from Qiao County, Pei State, and the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. If it weren't for him , I may not see you."
Zhang Xi looked at Hua Tuo. "So you are Hua Tuo. I have heard of you."
Hua Tuo was a little confused and raised his hand. "Dare you ask what the name of Gao's surname?"
"Zhang Xiyang, Runan."
Zhao Qi added: "Yuanhua, he is Sikong and Zhang Gongji Li of the current dynasty."
Hua Tuo suddenly realized and quickly gave a big gift. Zhang Xi did not return the gift, but just gave a little greeting.
Yang Biao saw it, shook his head secretly, bowed to greet Hua Tuo. "Hongnong Yang Biao, whose courtesy name is Wenxian, was not abandoned by the emperor. He was a corpse in the Great Honglu, and had met a miraculous doctor."
"It turned out to be Mr. Yang." Hua Tuo was flattered and quickly saluted. "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."
"Okay." Yang Biao said: "Do you know why the emperor changed the name of a doctor, a doctor?"
Hua Tuo shook his head. He only knew the rumor that the emperor issued an edict to change his title to show his importance to the doctor, but he did not know the reason.
"If the emperor wants to conquer famous doctors in the world like Yuanhua, he must first correct his name to show his favor." Yang Biao said solemnly: "The name of Yuanhua has been in the emperor for a long time."
Hua Tuo was stunned.
He didn't expect that this matter had a direct relationship with him, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
But it was said by Yang Biao, and it was worth it.
Yang Biao had no need to flatter him.
Although he had not seen the emperor yet, Hua Tuo had realized that it was a wise choice to come to Taiyuan with Zhao Qi this time.
The only one who can make him get what he wants is the Emperor.
