On February 14th, Zhao Yanxun returned to Yuanyang.
As soon as the news reached the palace, the chief minister and officials from the Privy Council rushed to the Jinshen Hall.
It's not that they miss Zhao Yanxun so much, but that there are many memorials that have been backlogged during his absence these days, and they need to be decided by Zhao Yanxun himself.
Even if the memorial is not that important and can be approved by the Chief Secretary and the Privy Council, it still needs to be submitted to Zhao Yanxun for review.
Zhao Yanxun had arranged all these things before he came and left.
Although it is a decentralization of power, it is Zhao Yanxun who is relaxed, but it is the officials below who are suffering. After all, whoever approves the decision must be held accountable to the end.
Therefore, they submitted the memorial as soon as possible and only after receiving Zhao Yanxun's approval, they were able to clear up their responsibilities.
So when Zhao Yanxun returned, his buttocks were still hot from sitting in the Jinshen Hall, when he heard Huo An report to four officials outside the hall asking for an audience.
In the west side hall, Zhao Yanxun put on a sapphire blue robe and felt much more energetic after washing himself.
"Let them in!"
After a while, four ministers appeared in front of Zhao Yanxun, each holding a stack of memorials in their hands.
"See Your Highness!"
"My dear friends, no courtesy!"
After these people stood up, Zhao Yanxun asked: "My dear friends, you have rushed to get so many memorials, so that I can't rest for a moment!"
Zhao Yanxun often did a little joke between the monarch and his ministers to liven up the atmosphere.
Just listen to Guan Hetai say: "The sage said that when heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first work hard on his bones and his mind... The livelihood of the soldiers and people of the royal palace is at stake, and it is not something that His Highness can take on. Even if I want to
I share your worries for His Highness, but I am powerless!"
While flattering, Guan Hetai pointed out the duty of a courtier.
"That's true. Let's talk about it... there are all these big events these days!"
So next, several ministers took turns presenting the memorial and explaining Zhao Yanxun's questions one by one.
This questioning took more than an hour, during which Zhao Yanxun even served tea to quench the thirst of the courtiers present.
"In the past few days, you have done a good job within the scope of your duties and have lived up to the king's trust and trust. This is very good!"
There is a prerequisite for this sentence, that is, within the scope of their powers, several ministers know that this is the key point.
After highlighting the key points, Zhao Yanxun continued: "I have said before that now you are in charge of a prefecture, and in the future you will be in charge of a county, or even the entire northwest... You must take a long-term view and be bolder.
Only the king dares to entrust you with this heavy burden!"
First, people are put in chains, and then they are allowed to do it boldly. This kind of encouragement seems a bit deformed.
But when this deformity becomes the norm, it is actually normal.
After talking about the nonsense before, Zhao Yanxun continued: "As for spring plowing, the Chief Secretary must give more supervision and supervision. It must start at the end of February at the latest!"
"This matter cannot be delayed, we must do it with all our heart!"
"I accept your order!" Cheng Wenguang and Zhou Chengping replied together.
"As I said before, the Military and Horse Department must try its best to cooperate in this matter, and the Privy Council must come up with a feasible escort plan and send personnel to seriously supervise it!"
"I accept your order!" Guan Hetai and Chen Anming replied.
This is the advantage of having absolute authority. There will be no one chirping below, and even if there is, it will only be chirping and cannot hinder Zhao Yanxun.
"There is one more thing that you, the Imperial Court, must implement. All major mountain ranges in Yuanyang Mansion and the surrounding ten miles will be designated as restricted areas. No one is allowed to approach without the king's order!"
The major mountain ranges in Yuanyang Prefecture are within ten miles, and the scope of this influence is quite large.
Setting such a large area as a restricted area, and no one was allowed to approach it without the king's order, deeply surprised several officials present.
With doubts in his heart, Zhou Chengping asked: "Your Highness, why are you setting up this restricted area?"
"Just because the black bear is causing trouble, ordinary soldiers and civilians cannot resist it, and they will be in disaster if they encounter it!"
This reason was so good that the few people present could not comment, so they had no choice but to follow the instructions.
Next, several people briefly discussed some matters before leaving the hall.
After dealing with these things, Zhao Yanxun felt a lot more relaxed. Only then did he remember that he had not received the system reward yet.
"Huo An, go and call He Sidao over and ask him to bring all the things needed to set up the altar and perform the rituals!"
"As you command!"
He Sidao, now the great master of the palace, is responsible for Zhao Yanxun's communication with heaven.
The two brothers are now separated. He Sidao specializes in talismans and ritual rituals, while Zhang Junru moved out of the palace and found an open space in the south of the city to specialize in experimenting with gunpowder.
What needs to be explained here is that although Zhang Junru's gunpowder production is in full progress, at least he has made gunpowder that can burn quickly, but the applicability of this thing is not yet available.
When Huo An sent someone to call He Sidao, Zhao Yanxun stood up and came to the east side hall, looking at the sand table in the center.
As the out-of-control area increases, the display range of the sand table has now expanded from Yuanyang Prefecture to several surrounding prefectures.
Fortunately, Yuanyang is a county town and has all the classics and materials in the county. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make this sand table.
Looking north along Yuanyang, there are Liaoping Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture.
In the end, Zhao Yanxun's sights were fixed on Liaoping, where the so-called Ming King Zhu Jinzhang was entrenched.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was heard saying in a low voice: "In order to deal with the outside world, we must first settle down at home, so we should focus on spring plowing first!"
Spring plowing requires all soldiers to participate in order to protect the safety of the people to the greatest extent, so Zhao Yanxun will not use troops before the spring plowing is over.
"Your Majesty, Taoist Master He is waiting for you outside the palace!"
"Has the altar been set up?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
"Already set up!"
"By the way, go and call Cheng Wenguang and the others over, tell them that the Emperor of Heaven has given them blessings, and invite them to come and watch the ceremony!"
"yes!"
At this time, above Danbi, the two Taoist boys under He Sidao had already laid out all the things needed for the practice.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun walking out of the hall, He Sidao immediately bowed and said: "I have met His Highness!"
As a magic stick, He Sidao had already prepared the method, and several ministers who had left not long ago also returned.
"God bless you, let's start practicing!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun knelt directly on the futon. In front of him was the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.
As he knelt down, the maids, eunuchs and guards serving around him, as well as several ministers present, also knelt down on the stone floor.
At this moment, He Sidao was mumbling something, and at the same time, he was performing various tricks on his hands, looking much more professional than before.
This is called doing what you do, loving what you do, and being good at what you do. Many times, He Sidao thinks that he is more like a Taoist priest than a genuine Taoist priest like Zhang Junru.
At this moment, everyone was quietly watching He Sidao's performance, and Zhao Yanxun also silently recited the word "receive" in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, a dark black bow appeared on the altar, surprising everyone.
Although the miracle had been seen many times, everyone was still shocked.
Zhao Yanxun did not receive the remaining armor at this time because he had not yet left to collect a complete set.
"Your Majesty Zhao Yanxun, thank the Emperor of Heaven!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun kowtowed to the ground. It could be said that he had done all the tricks.
Several ministers below also kowtowed: "God bless my king, God bless the Jin Dynasty!"
