my wife is mulan

Zhao Ping watched for a while, then touched the back of his head, looking uncomfortable.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at him, "Speak, Grandpa knows you have something to say just by looking at you!"

"Ahem, Grandpa, what, my child heard that the Black Clothes Guard is mobilizing manpower to form a yamen called Huangcheng Division to deal with the destruction of me by the enemy's spies!" Zhao Ping said while rubbing his hands.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at him again, "You are quite well informed, who told you?"

"Hey, how can the child betray the person who leaked the news casually!"

Zhao Junsheng put the grilled chicken wings, chicken legs and a lot of mutton skewers into several silver plates, and put some vegetable skewers on the grill, and asked, "Grandpa doesn't ask who gave you the news." Yes, just say what you want to do!"

Zhao Pingdao: "Grandfather, my child wants to be in charge of the Imperial City Division!"

"no!"

When Zhao Ping heard that Zhao Junsheng refused without even thinking about it, he became a little anxious: "Grandpa, my boy really wants to do something to relieve my grandfather's worries. This is the first time I beg you, how can you discourage my enthusiasm! "

Zhao Junsheng stopped his hands and looked up at the third child, "Do you really want to do something?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, Grandpa has arranged for you to work in the Ministry of Rites, so don't think about it, Secretary of the Imperial City!"

"Why? The child refuses to accept it!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The Imperial City Division is the yamen that deals with the secret operations of the enemy country and the hidden forces that are harmful to our affairs. You have no experience in this area. Besides, this yamen is newly established. At present, the dark forces of various countries are undercurrents in Chang'an City. The newly established Imperial City Division cannot make the slightest mistake, it must be a hit, otherwise the Imperial City Division will be reduced to a laughing stock and can only be abolished!"

At this time, Dongfang Chen, who was grilling skewers next to him, said: "Your Majesty, I think you can let the third prince try it. The third prince is not young, so he should be allowed to do something and have some responsibility. The chief officer of the Imperial City Department It is the admiral, and the deputy is Si Cheng. The third prince has no experience in handling cases, but it is still possible to let him lead the overall situation of the Imperial City Division. The specific handling of the case can be handled by the people below. The third prince only needs to grasp the general direction. I believe The Third Prince's talent in this area is pretty good!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, looked at Dongfang Chen, and finally agreed, "Okay, I agree! Third child, I have given you a chance. I hope you will take good care of it. If you fail this errand, I will hold you accountable." responsible!"

Zhao Ping hurriedly said: "Yes, my son will definitely live up to my father's expectations!"

Zhao Junsheng pointed to the grilled skewers beside him: "Take it to your mother, sister, brother and sister to eat!"

"Okay!" Zhao Ping happily agreed, and ran to the side with a silver plate in both hands, shouting as he ran: "Mother, fourth, fifth, youngest, come and eat, it's delicious!"

Dongfang Chen said to Zhao Junsheng with a smile: "Your Majesty's family enjoys so much fun, I really envy others!"

Zhao Junsheng laughed when he heard the words: "Are you envious? Then return to vulgarity! After returning to vulgarity, marry a few wives and concubines, and still serve the court!"

Dongfang Chen shook his head: "Forget it, it's a lot of age, don't hurt other girls, even if you have children, I'm afraid that the poor will go to see Tianzun before they grow up!"

"Your idea is wrong!"

"Your Majesty, don't say any more. Pindao is powerless now. Don't be laughed at. When you are old, you will be treated as a conversation piece after dinner. Pindao doesn't want to lose your life!"

Seeing what Dongfang Chen said, Zhao Junsheng stopped persuading him and asked, "Do you think Zhao Ping can handle the Imperial City Secretary's job well?"

Dongfang Chen smiled and said: "To be honest, I don't know, but Your Majesty must give this child a chance to do things. How can young people make mistakes? If children are allowed to make mistakes, they can learn a lesson once they make a mistake. I think it is a good thing to make them grow up!"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "You envy my family's happiness, but in fact, the Tian family is ruthless. I don't know how long this happiness can last. The children have gradually grown up, and the children will have their own ideas when they grow up. The emperor's Who doesn't care about the throne? For that position, one can kill one's father to seize the throne and brothers can kill each other. Such examples are not uncommon in the past! Let's not talk too far, let's talk about the event that Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was killed by his son Tuobashao , and the fact that Liu Yilong, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, was killed by the prince, the morals of this world are very chaotic!"

Dongfang Chen bowed and said: "That's why you need your Majesty to put an end to chaos and rectify the origin, set an example for the world, and strengthen the education of folk morality and etiquette! In order to eliminate the bad atmosphere, I suggest that your majesty govern the world with benevolence and filial piety! In terms of benevolence, your majesty has always We are doing it, now the imperial court should work hard on filial piety!"

"Actually speaking, committing crimes against superiors and using sons to kill fathers set a precedent for unhealthy ethos in the late Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties. Our court should stop this unhealthy trend! The imperial court can take the empress's deeds of serving in the army as her father's surrogate. Come out to publicize to the courtiers, officials from all over the country and the common people, and you can also take out some other things that are filial and earth-shattering to set an example!"

"I suggest that the conditions of filial piety should be considered in the promotion of courtiers and officials. As long as they are filial to their parents, they can't be bad. The virtue of being an official is very important. If a person's If his virtue is not good, no matter how talented he is, he may cause great harm!"

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, and agreed with Dongfang Chen's views and suggestions: "Your ideas are good. After you go back, write a report. I will let the Hanlin scholars polish it and issue an edict to spread all over the world!"

"promise!"

The next morning, Zhao Ping took the official seal and rushed to the newly established Imperial City Division to take up his post.

The Imperial City Division has a lot of power. Zhao Ping took Zhao Junsheng's imperial decree and mobilized troops from the Shenwu Army to serve as guards, guards, and action support forces inside and outside the Imperial City Division. Each of these sergeants was equipped with full-body armor, A spear, a sword, a shield, a crossbow, and a box of arrows.

Under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Division, there are more than a dozen institutions such as the investigation room, the battle room, the archives room, the soldier armor warehouse, the official room, and the punishment room. .

It only took Zhao Ping three days to perfect the personnel of the Imperial City Division and its subordinate yamen agencies, but he didn't know how the Imperial City Division handles cases, and the candidates for the head of the fighting house and his deputy, Si Cheng, have not yet been determined. , which made him incapable of operating the Imperial City Division.

For several days in a row, I heard Peng Shen, the head of the inspector house, coming to report the activities of the envoys and entourages in Chang'an from time to time. Some people's activities were obviously abnormal, but he didn't know what to do. Fang continued to send people to watch.

"It seems that I really need to find two knowledgeable people to assist me. Otherwise, my eyes will be blackened, and I will not be able to make contributions to the Imperial City Division. It's just... Who should I find to be the Si Chenghe?" What about the battle house owner?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Ping came to the National Teacher's Mansion.

Dongfang Chen welcomed Zhao Ping into the mansion and sat down, and ordered Daotong to bring tea.

"Third prince, please drink tea!"

"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Ping praised with a sip.

Dongfang Chen smiled and said: "The third prince does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, why did you come to see the old Taoist today?"

Zhao Ping put down his teacup and said, "I'm here to seek advice from the National Teacher, and I also ask the National Teacher to recommend someone to be the Prime Minister of the Imperial City Division!"

Dongfang Chen said: "The Imperial City Division can be formed. The black-clothed guard commander Lu Xuanbo has done a lot. Many people in the Imperial City Division were drawn from the black-clothed guards. Lu Xuanbo also made careful efforts to arrest and defend the enemy. , The spy is very experienced in sabotage, why didn't the third prince go to him and ask him to recommend candidates?"

Zhao Ping said: "I've thought about it for a few days. Although the imperial city division is separated from the black guards, it's better not to have anything to do with the black guards. If Lu Xuanbo is asked to recommend candidates for Sicheng, it will The Imperial City Division cannot get rid of the influence and control of the black guards, and it is easy to be criticized!"

Zhao Ping's answer made Dongfang Chen look at him with admiration. After thinking for a while, he said: "Poverty Dao has a candidate in his heart, but he doesn't know if the third prince can use him!"

"Why don't the national teacher talk about it!"

"This man's name is He Yong. He was a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs during the Northern Wei Dynasty. He is quite good at directing criminal investigations and solving cases. Now he is a city gate official. The most important thing is that this man has nothing to do with other ministers and officials in the court. Apart from his previous status, he is a relatively clean person, and he is not doing well now, if the Third Prince transfers him to do a job similar to his previous job, I believe he will do his best!"

Zhao Ping immediately took his entourage to find He Yong, who was the city gate official.

Chapter 804 Be responsible for your people

East Gate.

Zhao Ping jumped off the horse with his entourage, and the entourage said: "Your Highness, this should be here. The national teacher said that He Yong is 45 years old, and the middle-aged civil servant sitting behind the table next to the city gate should be him!"

Zhao Ping saw a restaurant next to him, and told his attendants: "Go and call him over, I'll wait for him at the restaurant!"

"promise!"

Zhao Ping led the horse over and shouted: "Staller, here is a bowl of wine, a plate of peanuts, a stack of stewed beef, and a plate of stewed rice!"

"Okay, sir, sit down!" The stall owner came forward to take the reins, led the horse to the side and tied it, and brought food and wine to Zhao Ping swiftly.

The entourage walked to the gate of the city and came to the city gate official, clasped their hands and asked, "If you dare to ask your honor, is the city gate official He Yong?"

He Yong saw that although this person was dressed as a follower, he spoke politely, so he stood up and bowed his hands in return: "It's He, I don't know what you can do with me?"

The entourage turned sideways and pointed in the direction of the wine shop, "My son invites Mr. He to the wine shop to have a talk!"
