The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 876 Ling Chi
"What? The Hun Shanyu wants to marry his daughter to me?"

In Yanshou Palace, Zhao Yanxun was greatly surprised to hear the news brought by Wu Hong.

Not only him, but the concubines in the hall were also surprised at this moment.

Gathering together with concubines in Yanshou Palace today, Zhao Yanxun came here to talk with the Queen Mother, and it can be regarded as a simple family gathering.

"Your Majesty, it is Lord Luo Lunluo who sent back the news that the person has entered Tianyu Pass, please show me your Majesty!"

The Xiongnu Shanyu married his daughter, could this guy just want to take advantage of him?Zhao Yanxun cursed.

Of course, this matter is not only related to a woman, but should be considered from the perspective of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"These Huns are well-intentioned!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

At this time, Cao Miaoyin, who was on the throne, asked, "How does the emperor plan to deal with it?"

Almost two months have passed, and the relationship between the empress dowager and the emperor has largely been restored, but the conversation is still somewhat rusty.

Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "This matter is of great importance, and I have to consider it carefully!"

The hall fell silent, but after a few breaths, Huang Rongrong said: "Your Majesty... the Huns are vicious and barbaric, and their daughters are probably the same. You can't let her enter the palace!"

Good guy, what Huang Rongrong said made everyone in the hall turn their attention to her.

To be honest, what she said was a bit rash.

Some people gloated secretly, some watched the jokes quietly, and some hated iron for being weak.

On the contrary, Zhao Yanxun was indifferent to this, and only laughed and cursed: "What do you know!"

Huang Rongrong wanted to speak, but Lin Jingyu glared at her, telling her to shut up quickly.

Zhao Yanxun still had to think carefully about this matter, so he didn't continue the discussion in Yanshou Palace.

It's a pity that Luo Lun sent back the news publicly, so the matter of Shan Yu's marriage to his daughter was easily spread in the court.

The time came to the next day, when the ministers raised this matter during the daily affairs of Qian'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu Shanyu married a daughter to strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I think this is a good thing!" University scholar Lu Chaowen said.

Again, after learning that the barbarians in the west were powerful, the attitude of the courtiers towards the Huns changed.

It is naturally a good thing for someone to stand in the front and resist, and it is necessary to appease the hearts of the Huns.

In fact, Zhao Yanxun had thought about this matter carefully, and after hearing Lu Chaowen's words, he had made a decision in his heart.

"Ai Qing, what's your opinion on this?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

"I think what Lu Ge said is reasonable!" Cheng Wenguang stood up and replied.

The two cabinet ministers expressed their support, indicating that the marriage is indeed necessary.

"The minister agrees..."

"The minister agrees..."

After everyone at the scene expressed their views, Zhao Yanxun said: "In this case, let Luo Lun send someone to send the Xiongnu princess to Beijing!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

Marrying a concubine, this matter can also involve Shengming, this makes Zhao Yanxun very emotional, the ministers have improved their flattering skills again.

"Let's talk about business!"

"Now that the turmoil in Jiangxi has calmed down, and the guards of the neighboring capitals, their combat readiness levels can return to normal. The Ministry of War will implement this matter as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Zeng Changsong, Minister of the Ministry of War, bowed and said, "This humble minister takes orders!"

Zhao Yanxun went on to say: "The taxes levied from the south have now arrived in Beijing one after another. The household department must record them in detail and transport grain to the northwest according to the strategy discussed by the cabinet before!"

"Of order!" Wang Shiwei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, replied.

The collection of taxes this time caused turmoil in Jiangxi County.

After the government's iron-fisted suppression, the Jiangxi gentry suffered a devastating blow. On the contrary, the two major events of grain requisition and land inventory were carried out much more smoothly.

Up to now, while the green tea fields are spreading in Jiangxi County, other counties in the south are also spreading.

In the end, Zhao Yanxun broke his promise to Xie Xiaofang.

He had promised Xie Xiaofang that he would be allowed to retire after finishing his errands in Jiangxi, but now he let him take charge of the southern farm inventory.

The workload of the field mu inventory in the five counties was so heavy that Zhao Yanxun felt a little embarrassed.

To be honest, this kind of reform that affects a wide range of areas and involves deep interests has to be implemented by veteran ministers like Xie Xiaofang.

It's a pity that there are too few such veterans.

In contrast, Wang Tinghe, who presided over the inventory of the Central Plains, had much better luck.

In view of his advanced age, Zhao Yanxun didn't add any burden to him because he looked haggard after checking the land.

In other words, Xie Xiaofang suffered from being "young".

Of course, to finish the errands in hand, these two will have to stay until next year anyway.

"The grain transshipment is very important. It passes through Gyeonggi, Hexi, and Longyou before finally arriving in Beidi. The capitals of these four counties will send troops to escort them, and the Privy Council will also make detailed arrangements!" Zhao Yanxun glanced at Chen Anming.

"Wei minister leads the order!"

Large-scale military mobilization is arranged and issued by the Ministry of War, and this escort mission is the responsibility of the Privy Council.

"Wang Qianwang's matter, how is the investigation now?" Zhao Yanxun asked again.

Of course, Zhao Yanxun knew how the details were found. Dali Temple only delivered the memorial this morning.

The reason why he asked was because Zhao Yanxun wanted to let others know.

This question can only be answered by Yan Peiji, Minister of Dali Temple.

"My Majesty, the case of Wang Qianwang's coercion against the people has basically been clarified..."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Peiji narrated in detail, and everyone at the scene frowned.

"Have you heard that? The magistrate, who has read the books of sages and sages, turned the common people against him in order to gain benefits. Even if such a person is sentenced to death, it will be difficult to offset his crimes!"

"Now that Wang Qianwang is under investigation, but there are so many officials in my Jin Dynasty, how many of them are Wang Qianwang? How many are his students? Whose township party?"

The following paragraphs are completely questioning the senior officials at the scene.

Standing up, Zhao Yanxun walked towards the center of the hall, and said in a bad tone: "Old Chengge, Wang Qianwang was recommended by you, and I punished you with salary...Are you convinced?"

Hearing this, Cheng Wenguang quickly replied: "Weichen is convinced!"

Zhao Yanxun continued: "This is the first time, I can punish you lightly, but if there is a next time... I will punish you severely!"

Only Cheng Wenguang replied: "Yes, I must be more careful in the future!"

The two sang together, allowing everyone in the hall to understand the connotation.

At this time, Zhao Yanxun said again: "Everyone in the palace is the mainstay of the court. You must take Wang Qianwang's matter as a warning. Everyone's students are in the same year as the township party. Everyone must be restrained, and don't make trouble for me!"

All the ministers didn't answer, just because they didn't know how to answer.

On the way back to the dragon chair, Zhao Yanxun suddenly asked, "How will Dali Temple judge Wang Qianwang's crime?"

Naturally, this matter was also discussed, and only Yan Peiji replied: "Report to the emperor, I plan to sentence him to death!"

But Zhao Yanxun asked: "Slay the decision? Is it too cheap for him?"

"Please show me your Majesty!" Yan Peiji said hastily.

Zhao Yanxun immediately said: "Ling Chi in public, as a warning to others!"

The punishment of Ling Chi frightened everyone present.

In the era when it was impossible to punish a doctor, beheading was a big deal, and Ling Chi was undoubtedly difficult for people to accept.

Everyone is an official, so they don't want to have the possibility of being lingering, so they want to object out of instinct.

Of course, instinct is just instinct. Facing the emperor Zhao Yanxun, they can only keep their words in their hearts.

Glancing left and right, Yan Peiji replied, "Your minister leads the decree!"

With him making a summary, even if other people have opinions, they have no chance to speak out.
