4days ago traverse Novels 7
The emperor has not attended court again, can Brother Du know where he is?

Zhang Xiaozhen, the Minister of War, received Du Xian, who had just returned to Beijing at home, and asked straight to the point.

As the Minister of War, Zhang Xiaozhen was also a very important official in the capital, but he couldn't see the emperor at all on weekdays, so he could only ask the people of the cabinet and the Political Affairs Hall, so he could only ask his friend Du Xian.

Du Xian said: I didn’t go anywhere. I heard from the side that the emperor spent the whole day in Daming Palace, accompanying Princess Tuyuhun who had just come to Chang'an.

Zhang Xiaozhen frowned and said: This morning, the Hebei interview envoy Yang Sidao made a memorial to the Secretariat. People from several places gathered to openly resist the recruitment of the people. The officials of local prefectures and counties may cause riots and do nothing, and Zhang Wulang's special envoy was helpless.If this continues, the decision to build the Great Wall this spring will not be implemented. It has a great relationship. Brother Du has to try to see the emperor's advice.

Du Xian didn't speak, thinking about something.

Zhang Xiaozhen also said: If everything is planned, it will be abolished if it is not planned. Brother Du must be prepared, otherwise it will be too late to wake up when things come!Building a Hebei defense line and keeping barbarians from outside the country is a strategy proposed by Brother Du. Once this matter cannot be implemented, it may not be possible to let Brother Du come out to bear the blame, but it is a foregone conclusion that you will be on par with Zhang Shu and others from now on.

I heard that when I was in Yingzhou, the officials and censors impeached me many times and were the instigated by people from the Political Affairs Hall?

Zhang Xiaozhen said: Who else can be there? Otherwise, how could Zhang Wulang succeed Brother Du?The previous capture of Yingzhou and the current decision-making and political affairs hall to build the Hebei defense line has always been disapproved, and the supporters are Brother Du, and the emperor and some Beijing officials also agree.If the matter is not done in the end, the prestige of Zhang Shuo and others will be improved. These people have been in charge of the three provinces and six ministries of the Southern Yaya for a long time. It is even more difficult to shake their status, and the emperor has to rely on them to stabilize the situation.The strategy proposed by Brother Du also caused the emperor to be affected by decision-making mistakes. In addition, Su Jin is presided over the imperial examination reform, the emperor's expectations will turn to Su Jin, Brother Du... This is a big deal.

Du Xian's face was not very good, and a trace of anger was exposed.

His thoughts were that I was fighting hard at the border and fighting hard, just to make a general and a prime minister; how did the people in the Political Affairs Hall get the position of the prime minister?

Sitting in the temple, he was whispering.

That's not all, I'm also plotting against me in secret, wanting to suppress me.

Even if Du Xian was so calm that he was still angry, a fire of namelessness emerged.

Zhang Xiaozhen is a trustworthy person, both a family and a marriage relationship, and a relationship of prosperity. However, Du Xian knew that he also had selfish thoughts and said that Zhang Xiaozhen, a veteran of several dynasties, had also served as a capital official in several dynasties. He had been qualified to be the position of Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He wanted to go further and further, it was not his turn to be blocked. When would he be able to become the Prime Minister?

The only hope that can be seen before is Du Xian. Du Xian is deeply trusted by the emperor and is one of his confidants. The emperor also supports a trusted and capable person to replace the prime minister who came from the Tang Dynasty. Recently, Du Xian has made great achievements and prestige has increased rapidly, and he is undoubtedly one of the candidates in the emperor's mind.

So Zhang Xiaozhen wanted to help Du Xian cover up the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and one day he replaced it. If he could reach that time, the road to blockage would be opened again.

Of course, Zhang Xiaozhen's selfishness and Du Xian's ambitions did not conflict. He led his troops to fight in the rain of swords, guns, arrows and arrows many times, and what was he trying to get through his blood and fire?

Du Xianan was angry in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a deep sip of the tea fragrance into his stomach. After a while, he was silent before asking: Brother Zhang asked me to meet the emperor and make suggestions. What should I say?

Zhang Xiaozhen is usually an easy-going gentleman, but his eyes turned a little red at this time. It was a burning fire of desire: What else can I say? I expose Zhang's sinister intentions. I suggest that the emperor must not compromise with them. The decisions made by the Secretary of the Central Committee must be implemented!The following enlistment is blocked, and the local officials must be instructed!

Isn’t this too much?

Du Xian gradually calmed down. The people Zhang said that he impeached me, and most of the time he only discussed things, but when he thought about it, he was a little bit conscientious.Besides, he voted for Princess Taiping in the former Tang Dynasty, and the emperor also relied on him very much...

……

The next morning, the ministers went around the inner court and did not see the emperor, and then went back to their respective yamen. The prime ministers returned to the Political Affairs Hall next to Xuanzheng Hall, and first read the memorial in the morning.

According to the formal process, the memorials of the court and local governments were first handed over to the officials of the Shangshu Province to review, and then to the Menxia Province for review, and finally to the emperor for review.

However, the power structure has changed since the Tang Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. The officials of the Shangshu Province also hold official titles under the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, so the process is even more concise. After reading it, it is equivalent to reading and reviewing the three provinces and submitting it directly to the north. However, the bureau of the Jin Dynasty was different from the previous dynasty, with an additional cabinet that did not belong to the three provinces and six ministries, and this memorial had to be passed through the cabinet.

Yang Sidao's memorial was read yesterday. I will discuss it this morning and I will come up with a solution to the palace before I send it to the palace. If the emperor thinks that the ministers' handling method is good, he will approve the memorial.

When encountering such controversial comments, because the officials of the Political Affairs Hall have different positions, they mostly have to argue. In the end, it usually depends on who has more people. Or it is Zhang Shuo’s decision, he is the Secretary of the Central Committee.

First of all, Li Shouyi came out to curse, and everyone was used to it. This old boy was just an angry young man with a tutoring for the people. Then Liu An, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, felt that local officials were not enforcing them effectively, so he should warn him first, and then he could not keep the government orders smoothly, so he took some people to investigate.

Cheng Qianli, the Minister of War, often pretended to be deep and silent. Zhang Shuo glanced at Xiao Zhizhong, and Lao Xiao said earnestly: Do you know that there is a legend among the people called Meng Jiangnu crying in the Great Wall?The people believe that building the Great Wall is a life-and-death death, and it is reasonable to conquer the people in the local area to find ways to persuade them instead of just forcing them.If you are forced to rebel, who will be responsible?

Dou Huaizhen was not willing to fall behind, and looked mysterious: What have the emperor been doing these two days?Since the palace maids from Tuyuhun arrived in Chang'an, the emperor has been very fond of them, and everyone knows it.In this case, Tuyuhun's request to order the court to transfer 50,000 elite troops from Beitinghelong to the south would probably be done!The military expenditure in Northwest will be huge at the beginning of next spring. If we force something wrong in Hebei, do you think the world is very stable, right?

Which woman the emperor favors, what does it have to do with the national affairs!Li Shouyi looked down on Dou Huaizhen's style very much.

Dou Huaizhen agreed to look at Li Shouyi's messy beard and wrinkled official uniform with consent, and said angrily: If you don't believe it, let's take a look... Hey, I said Li Xiang, what do you mean is that you don't have to be afraid of forcing the people of Hebei?You just had a different attitude. What do you think?

Don’t fight for such good words, it’s useless. Let’s just talk about the matter.

Zhang Shuo raised his palm to calm their quarrels. He glanced at Li Shouyi and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

Why is Li Shouyi so disliked?

Zhang said that he felt that he was more annoying than Liu An, who often disagrees with him. Look at how long Liu An had been in the court. He built a luxury house in his hometown. He had two garden mansions in Beijing. He had more than 20 wives and concubines at home at any time. He had everything. He was still a capable minister?

No one who is an official in Qianli wants to make some money? No one is clean in the power of the Zhengshi Hall. But Li Shouyi looks poor and pretends to be noble, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

No one said you were not sure. You are a prime minister, and many people begged fathers and grandmas to give you houses and money to women. Zhang said he was convinced.

Cheng Qianli kept um um nodded. Zhang said that he had three people who had agreed to the same opinion, and then he asked Cheng Qianli to express his opinion. The four people had the same opinion. This matter was justified. He turned to Cheng Qianli: What do Cheng Xiang think?

When we live in the temple, we must not ignore the people of the world. Xiao Xiang’s words make sense; but Liu Xiang is also right, and there are certain reasons for local officials’ failure to implement the decisions of the court.

Cheng Qianli said seriously, looking thoughtful while talking.

Zhang Shuo held his face and said a thought in his mind. He said it was equivalent to not saying it. Fortunately, Cheng Qianli supported both sides. Including Xiao Zhizhong's opinion still has a small advantage. In addition, he is the Zhongshu Ling, although it is not easy for Qiankun to decide his opinion, but his opinion is more important.

Li Shouyi blew his beard and stared at him: I have never built the Great Wall since the Tang Dynasty, and I have never seen the Hu people occupy Hebei. You are going to make trouble for this life-threatening and financial loss!You thought about it with your conscience, how many people you want with a big pen, how many people you will die in a foreign land, how many wives will lose their husbands, how many children will lose their fathers!

Mr. Li!

Zhang Shuo shouted seriously, building a defense line in Hebei is a decision that the emperor has presided over the decision discussed by the ministers, weighing the pros and cons. What did you do before the decision?You have objected, how do you object, is it useful?It seems that the whole court is you, Li Xiang, who knows to think about the people, what do so many of us eat?The government orders have been issued and the officials in the border have been sent. What should we do now and how to make decisions come into effect without any trouble!

Li Shouyi's beard was so angry that he stood up, his eyes wide open: Zhongshuling, don't think that I, Li Shouyi, are fools!

The discussion was unpleasant, but the matter was done.After the breakup, Zhang said that he would call Xiao Zhizhong to his office study and asked him: Have you ever touched the Yaoniang from the Dongshi Chess Hall?

Xiao Zhizhong's face was a little uneasy. He was the presiding officer of the Cui Men case and the Minister of Justice. He was the Minister of Justice who was attracted by the beauty of others. Have you ever encountered it?

Zhang said to observe his expression and said, "Tell Yao Mother, don't mention your affairs in the future. Try to go to that place as little as possible, and you can't get involved in that woman anymore. Isn't it just a woman? Xiao Xiang should have a sense of responsibility in his heart.The emperor went to that place several times... What is the most difficult thing the emperor to tolerate?

Xiao Zhizhong replied tactfully: Someone is looking for his woman, and Cui Mo is the example in the past.

Zhang Shuo nodded and said: There is another one, someone else forced him to change what he had decided!So if Li Shouyi wants to write a letter to Hebei, let him do it. We must not say anything wrong in that matter. We should do whatever we should do.

What the Secretary of the Central Secretariat said was extremely true.Xiao Zhizhong glanced at Zhang and said, and saw him looking out the window thinking about something.

Xiao Zhizhong knew that several prime ministers seemed to have a deep backer, and that Princess Taiping had a good relationship with the emperor, but the fact was not that stable: they who held the power of the Southern Yamen were not the emperor's confidant. A cabinet emerged, and the people inside were promoted very quickly, which made Zhang said that they were under great pressure.
