The first thousand ninety-fifth chapters let the tiger return to the mountain
"Hey, Old Liu Xike, the sun is rising in the west today? You have been so cool for more than a month, why are you here for the last court meeting again?"
Liu Mingzhi waved the book in his hand with a calm expression: "The big court meeting is naturally a big event. How can I come to the court for ordinary trivial matters?"
"Okay, I won't let you chat anymore, I'll go in first!"
Commander Jia looked at Liu Mingzhi's back blankly. He felt that something was wrong with Young Master Liu today!
In the past, I had to stand in front of the palace gate and chat with him for a long time. The brothel singer talked about everything in the world!
"Dong Guo, go slowly!"
Liu Mingzhi turned around in surprise and looked at Du Chenghao, who was rushing towards him: "Du Shangshu, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you so anxious?"
Du Chenghao breathed a sigh of relief: "Ding Guo Gong is joking, I have nothing urgent, I just want to discuss something with you, Ding Guo Gong!"
"To discuss things with me, Du Shangshu, please tell me!"
Du Chenghao pulled Liu Mingzhi towards a slightly remote place: "Dong Guo Gong, how about we talk while walking?"
"Okay, please tell me!"
"Dong Guo Ding is going to the north to appoint the governor of the two ports. I shamelessly ask you to take my unfilial son Du Yu with you! Anyway, Yu'er has nothing to do at home, so why not go and work with you?"
"Follow me to travel to Northern Xinjiang to explore and explore?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up his sleeves and looked at Du Chenghao in surprise: "Mr. Du, it's bitterly cold in the north. How can I be free and comfortable in the capital? What do you think of following me to guard the border? And now that Du Yu has also obtained a title, he can be a free man.
Isn’t your lordship beautiful?”
"Especially Yingzhou and Fuzhou. On the one hand, they are adjacent to Shanhaiguan and Songzhou City in the southern border of the Kingdom of Jin. On the other hand, they are close to the Turkic Bahalu tribe. If a war breaks out, be careful, you old guy, sending white-haired people to black-haired people!"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head and patted Du Chenghao's shoulder, but did not agree to Du Chenghao's request!
Du Chenghao sighed and looked at the sky melancholy: "Dong Guo, I have only been in the court for a few years. The eldest son Du Jiang is not a man who hangs around the court. The second son Du Hao is not good at literature or martial arts. This is the only way.
The youngest son Du Yu, who is the least worthy in my eyes, won the title of knighthood after you!"
"Now that I retire, the Du family will have no heirs. Sooner or later, the family will be in decline. We officials are no more noble than you. With titles, future generations can inherit the blessings of their ancestors and enjoy the glory and wealth. Yu'er is the only one in the future of the Du family.
hope!"
"He followed you first to suppress bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to conquer the countries in the Western Regions. He also experienced a lot on large and small battlefields. He will soon gain the title of a man. I have thought about it for a long time. Only the Duke of the same age as you can follow me.
Only by your side can Yu'er revive the Du family after me!"
"If Yu'er is unlucky and dies in battle, I will never blame you, Duke Ding. This is his fate. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Everything is destined by God!"
"All I can do is shamelessly intercede with him and let him play by your side. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Du Chenghao with a silent expression, feeling a little sour in his heart!
Du Chenghao looked so much like the old man in Jiangnan at this moment, his tone was so helpless, but he also hoped that his son could show his ambition.
Only when you raise a child do you realize the kindness of your parents. Liu Mingzhi can deeply feel Du Chenghao's mood at this moment, because he has also experienced it!
Nodding silently: "As long as that boy Du Yu is willing, let him follow me, but Lao Du, let's talk about it first. If that boy Du Yu violates any rules, you can't scold him behind his back when I punish him.
!”
"Don't worry, Lord Dingguo, I won't care if I leave it in your hands whether it's life or death."
"A gentleman's word!"
"Hurry up and whip your horse!"
"Okay, I'm relieved because of your words, Lao Du. I'll let Du Yu prepare early for next spring!"
"I know that I originally thought that you would not be seen at the last court meeting of this year. It seems that there is no need to pay a visit to you!"
"Old man, it's hard for you because of your son!"
"Being a father is difficult. If you are not strict, you will say that you are not good at raising your son. If you are strict, your son will resent you. Nothing in this world is perfect. You can't just muddle along!"
“Brilliant!”
"Look, as we were talking, we arrived at the Qinzheng Hall. I'm going there first!"
"See you in the palace!"
"I have met Duke Dingguo!"
"Jia Youwei, why are you wearing the official uniform of a doctor from the Ministry of Finance?"
Jia Youwei looked at the surprised Young Master Liu awkwardly: "Master Liu, half a month ago, Xianguan was already a doctor in the household department of the school. Of course, Master Liu didn't know that he had been absent from the court for a long time. He will be here after the next year."
I have officially taken up the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I would like to thank Mr. Liu and Mr. Jiang for your promotion. If you are prompted in the future, please feel free to give me orders and I will never say no!"
"Okay, okay, this is your own ability, do it well!"
"Thank you Master Liu, I will go back first!"
"Walk slowly!"
While they were talking, the civil and military officials finally arrived at the Qinzheng Hall. Today's officials arrived in an especially neat manner. During the last court meeting, many officials below the fifth rank lined up outside the hall and stood respectfully!
Another year has come to an end, which means Ruian’s five years have become a thing of the past!
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials will come to see you!"
"I see your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Li Zheng rarely put on a formal robe, and with a majestic expression, he sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the civil and military officials under the stairs!
"No courtesy, take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Left and right Zaisu!"
"My lord, you are here to assist me. You are my right-hand man. Will anything important happen in Dalong Prefecture this year?"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say before you think twice!"
"allow!"
"A heavy snowstorm fell on the 13th day of the month in Chenzhou Prefecture. Not even one of the people's houses were left intact. The roads were blocked by heavy snow. It was difficult to buy food. The governor of Chenzhou Prefecture wrote a letter asking your Majesty to control the snow disaster and give the people of Chenzhou Prefecture a bright future!"
"It's accurate, the blizzard falling from the sky is a natural disaster, and human power cannot resist it. I will try my best to let the people of the thirteen places have a happy New Year!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Is there any memorial for the left prime minister?"
"Old minister, I have no doubts. The people south of the Yangtze River have enough food and clothing, and there are no natural or man-made disasters anywhere!"
"Well, that's right, God bless the dragon, please step back!"
Wei Yong, the Prime Minister of the Left, glanced at Tong Sansi inadvertently, with a hint of pride in his eyes. Every year or so, the prime ministers and assistants change the governance of the north and the south. Now that there is nothing happening in the south, and a natural disaster occurs in the north, it is natural that Tong Sansi has something to do with it.
Out of touch!
It can be seen that now that the princes have joined the feudal clan, the struggle between the left and right prime ministers has reached a fierce stage!
Tong Sansi frowned slightly, held the memorial, and retreated to the spot and knelt down!
"Do the six ministers and nine ministers have a script to report?"
"Your Majesty, the officials have something to report!"
"Du Aiqing, please tell me!"
"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival is fleeting and the officials will soon be preparing for the imperial examinations in all states. May I ask, Your Majesty, are the state capitals in Dalong still preparing for the imperial examinations according to the old calendar?"
"Business as usual!"
"I obey the decree!"
"The Ministry of Finance has something to report!"
"Accurate!"
"Your Majesty, now that the national treasury is getting weaker and weaker, please order all the state governments to hurry up and collect taxes. Otherwise, not only will the food and fodder for the training of 300,000 recruits be affected, but even Wu Guogong's military recovery of Heshuo and Shuo will be affected.
!”
"Especially the artillery shells are in urgent need of replenishment. I am afraid that the general will not be able to rest this year!"
"I understand, Ministry of War!"
"I'm here!"
"How is the situation in Heshuo and Shuo now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, every seventh to tenth day, the Ministry of War will receive a letter from Duke Wu. Now, Duke Wu has steadily captured the entire line of Heshuo. Now that a snowstorm is coming on the grassland, the army is temporarily stationed in Heshuo and Ganzhou City.
!”
"I think we will regain the entire Hetao area in April next spring. As Mr. Jiang said, Duke Wu is constantly urging us to get food and grass. Once the food and grass are cut off, I am afraid that the Northern Expedition will be greatly affected!"
"The most important thing is that the guards stationed in Heshuo and the Huyan Royal Court are gradually having friction. If they are not handled well, they may become enemies!"
"If the Huyan Royal Court temporarily rebels, Duke Wu will be attacked from both sides, so we must be on guard!"
Li Zheng's face froze, and his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a complicated expression!
"The person who pretended to be the Thirteenth Taibao and framed me. I both hate you and blame you. Why didn't you get rid of this little girl Huyan Yunyao since you took action?"
"Letting the tiger return to the mountain will cause endless troubles. I regret it a little!"
