Huan Rong

I had similar dreams for five consecutive days, and it was the same person in the dream.

The scene is constantly changing, both strange and familiar.

The picture in the dream is sometimes clear, sometimes hazy, dancing swords on rainy nights, drinking in the corridor, sonorous Qin Feng beating the ear drums, adding the crisp sound of rain hitting the eaves in the middle, and trembling eyes facing each other, just like being in an illusion.

Qin Jing in her dream is always dressed in black clothes.

Jade belt corsets the waist, and the long sleeves are elegant.

The sternness when we first met, the warmth after getting to know each other, and the mischievousness when we saw each other made the dream more vivid and heartbreaking.

In the depths of the dream, everything became more and more real.While breathing, I can feel the coolness of the hair brushing the side of the neck, and I am nostalgic for the warm breath that slips behind the ears.

The dream seems very long, but also seems very short.

Every time he opened his eyes and looked at the familiar tent, Huan Rong felt momentarily confused.Soberly aware of where I am, but I don't know where the person is, and my heart becomes empty and lost.

He never knew that he would be a loving person... But after eating meat, he was forced to eat vegetarian food, it was really hard, didn't he?

From a literary youth to a so-and-so in a second, it is indeed a bit of a so-and-so.

Anyway, there is no one else around, so he is happy!

If he is not a monk but is forced to be a vegetarian, he will become irritable, and he will do whatever he likes!

The accumulation of irritability will inevitably affect the mood.

At the court meeting, Huan Rong sat upright, his jaw was tensed, his expression was serious, and his majesty was evident.The line of sight passes through the bead, and scans the officials in the palace, like a blade scraping, just like the essence.

Facing Huan Rong like this, even Xie An and Wang Biaozhi were somewhat uncertain.

In such a situation, no one would have imagined that the Son of Heaven suffered from phase X disease, lack of sleep at night, and inevitably carry emotions during the day.

The only one who can remain unaffected and sit still as usual is probably only Xi Yin.

Since returning from the hunting tour, Huan Rong gradually discovered that Xi Yin had changed a lot.

It's not that his appearance and temperament have changed, but that he can quickly discover the difference in his behavior compared with before he ascended the throne.The most direct manifestation is the arrangement and transfer of Beifu Army personnel.

On the surface, everything looks the same.However, the appointment of generals, especially the recommendation of Mao Qiu to replace Liu Laozhi's vacated position, can explain the problem very well.

Mao Qiu is the son of the champion general Mao Husheng, who has passed his thirties.

Before the Huan Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, Mao Qiu was appreciated by Huan Chong and recommended him as the prefect of Zitong.After the founding of the Huan Han Dynasty, Mao Qiu leaned towards the Huan family and vigorously persuaded his father and clan elders.If the family wants to prosper for a hundred years, it must make the right choice.

Mao Husheng has gone through three dynasties and has always stood in the court, with a natural and unique vision.Mao Qiu came forward to persuade him, and he followed the trend.With Mao Husheng taking the lead, the generals followed suit one after another, reducing a lot of resistance for Huan Rong to take over Jiankang.

Looking at the whole story, the contribution of Maoqiu is really not small.

Using such a person as the general of the Beifu army is enough to show the signal Xi Min has released.

Through observation, Huan Rong was more than [-]% sure, and Xi Chao participated in it.

Not to mention how the father and son "reconciled", and no matter how Xi Chao persuaded Xi Yin, for Huan Rong, it is a good thing for the country and himself that Xi Yin's attitude can soften.

Xi Yin sits at the head of all officials, and with the respect of the prime minister, he rarely speaks about non-major matters.

During the court meeting, he also noticed that something was wrong with Huan Rong, but he didn't think deeply about it.

After a long talk with Xi Chao, Xi Yin thought a lot and understood a lot.Considering his family and future generations, he chose to give up part of his military power, sending a signal of goodwill to Huan Rong.

This is also a helpless move.

If he had a son like Huan Rong, there would be more than one path he could choose.

The problem is that he doesn't.

Holding on and refusing to give in will not do any good in the end.

For future considerations, take the initiative to give up part of the military power in exchange for the favor of the emperor, which will always ensure the continuation of the family and will not decline rapidly.The son and nephew are not up to date, and they can only expect the grandchildren to make achievements and carry the whole family after him.

However, Xi Yin has been in control of the court for several years after all, and it is okay to make concessions to Huan Rong. Wang Xie Gaomen wants to join the Beifu Army and take the military power from him, there is no possibility at all.

Want to join the military?

can.

Welcome people politely, and all be civil servants, with quality but no right.Working with official books all day long, and sending them away as soon as their qualifications arrive, they can't even touch the edge of the army, let alone lead the army.

Things are done aboveboard, so that others are beyond reproach.Even if the opponent gritted his teeth with hatred, he still couldn't find a reason.

Is it wrong to give you a taste?

Well, go wherever you like, I won't wait for you anymore!

The gate of the Beifu army was closed tightly, and it was impossible to open it easily.

Although Xi Yin is old, he is not confused at all.It can even be said that ginger is old and pungent, and it becomes more and more spicy and smooth.Every word and deed, solemnly interpret what is thick black, what is lifting weights lightly, and what is making people's heart, liver and lungs hurt together.

From him, Huan Rong really learned a lot.

While amazed and admired, I can't help feeling a little scalp numb.

Whoever dares to take these big bosses who hold great power and have been subject to them for many years will suffer a big loss sooner or later.You may even step on the ground without knowing it, and you will end up with no bones left.

At the court meeting, the emperor and the prime minister had their own thoughts and serious expressions, which made people's hearts beat.

Not intentionally, there is still a layer of low air pressure over the Tai Chi Hall.

The officials tensed their nerves, and they acted crisply and neatly without dragging their feet.If you can say two sentences, never three sentences, and if you can say ten words clearly, never add half a word.The concise and efficient actions made Huan Rong startled.

Due to torrential rains and floods this year, the yields of the fields have been reduced or even failed, and people in more than ten counties and counties have been affected one after another.

Huan Rong became ruthless, the imperial court issued strict orders, and the local governments did not dare to neglect. County and county officials visited the embankments and supervised the government treasury and the distribution of disaster food.

However, there is always darkness behind the light, and the opposite of merit is also black sheep.

Despite repeated orders from the imperial court, there are still many bold and defiant people.

The thieves are easy to deal with. After they are caught, they will be interrogated immediately to confirm that the evidence of the crime is true. Those who commit serious crimes will be beheaded, and those who have committed minor crimes will be imprisoned. They will be escorted to Bianzhou or sent to the saltworks next year.

Officials and local tyrants who broke the law could not be dealt with immediately.

Especially those who were born in a noble family, even if their grades are not high, or even have already declined, they need to report to Jiankang and let the emperor decide.

"kill!"

The content of the form is very detailed, and the crimes of these people are vivid.Huan Rong didn't hesitate at all, as His Royal Highness ordered, all those listed above will be killed without mercy!

"If the crime is serious, the family members will sit together and be sentenced to death!"

These people are not ineffective in disaster relief because of their lack of ability, but they are actually greedy for money and money, taking advantage of natural disasters to occupy fields and forcing the victims to become tenant farmers.Afterwards, they colluded with each other to tamper with the civil records, trying to annihilate the evidence, making it impossible for the court to investigate.

The viciousness is monstrous, and the punishment should be the crime. Not killing is not enough for the civilians to be angry!

Indulging them today will definitely give people the impression that "the emperor is kind and soft".In the future, if you make a decree again, it will also be deemed as "thunder and rain, but little rain", and there will be more people who defy the law by themselves.

The best way is to kill, until they are terrified, until they dare not act recklessly!

"Officials from the three provinces were dispatched to interrogate in detail with the assassins of the prefectures. The evidence of the crime is convincing, and he will be executed without mercy! The family members are sent to exile, and the man is sent to the Bianzhou salt farm. He is not allowed to be an official for four generations!"

For the first few sentences, all the officials agreed.

However, the fourth generation is not allowed to be an official?

The imperial court has its own regulations for selecting officials, and people of common origin are descendants of sinners. How can the local government recommend them, and how can Zhongzheng judge them?

Both Xie An and Wang Biaozhi were a little strange. They looked at the emperor on the throne with puzzled expressions on their expressions.

Sitting among the civil servants, Xi Chao looked down at the wat board, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he never said a word.This young emperor often does things unexpectedly.

Thinking about the school run by Fan Gong, and then thinking about the academies in Youzhou and Jiankang, Xi Chao already had the answer in his mind.

As far as the present is concerned, this answer is too shocking, just think about it in your heart, and you must not tell it in your mouth.Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

"I have made up my mind, and it will be carried out accordingly."

Huan Rong didn't give the ministers a chance to speak, and ordered the three provinces to draft an official document, and then waved his hand: This matter is settled, the next topic!

Before the end of the court meeting, Huan Rong ordered the eunuchs to read out the decree, and a thunderstorm fell on the heads of the officials.

"Take Xie An, the servant of Shangshu, as Situ, and Wang Biaozhi, the general who guards the army and the regular servant of Sanqi, as Sikong."

The decree is very concise, just two words: promotion.

Situ and Sikong inherited the Han system, and they were all of the first rank, only under the prime minister.

Everyone regained their senses from the shock, their gazes alternated between Xi Yin, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi, and finally looked at the throne. They really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd.

Is this going to be a tripartite confrontation, checks and balances?

Before the officials could figure it out, the eunuch read out the second decree.

"Xi Chao, the minister of Zhongshu, was appointed as the order of Zhongshu, and he was added to serve in the middle; Xi Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, was the champion general, who supervised the military forces of Qingzhou and Yanzhou."

After this decree, the Taiji Hall became even more silent, and no one made a sound for a long time.

Finally, Xie An broke the silence and resigned from Situ firmly.Wang Biaozhi then came out and refused to accept Sikong's firm resignation.

Huan Rong insisted on not nodding, since the decree has been issued, there is no reason to change it.

"The two ministers who bear the tripod have made great contributions to the country and the people!"

A hammer is fixed.

Speaking of this, if Xie An and Wang Biaozhi refuse again, they will not give the emperor face, which is quite unjustifiable.

Knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi could only return to the queue with Xie En's order.

After the two, Xi Chao thanked the official.Because Xi Rong was not in the court, Xi Yin took the place of his son to thank him.

Seeing this scene, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi felt a little complicated when they looked at the emperor on the throne.

Xi Yin and Xi Chao had expected it a long time ago, knowing that Xi's softening attitude and taking the initiative to offer kindness, the emperor will definitely reciprocate.It's just that I didn't expect the return to be so great.

The servant is a close minister of the emperor, and sometimes it can even affect the emperor's judgment on the situation.

Taking Xi Chao as a servant is Huan Rong's statement that he will let go of his past suspicions and wants to reuse them.

Sheng Xirong became the champion general, and he made a guarantee to Xi Yin that Xi's initiative to show kindness, Huan Rong will not turn his face and deny anyone.Xi's position in the Beifu army will not change. Even if Xi Yin is gone, as long as Xi Rong does not make a big mistake, his position will not be replaced by others.

Xi Yin understands very well that with Xi Rong's character and ability, this taste has come to an end.It may not be a good thing to go up again, and it may bring trouble to the family.

The emperor expressed his position through the imperial decree that Xi's position in the Beifu army was unshakable.

Regardless of the Xie family of Chenjun, the Wang family of Langya or the Wang family of Taiyuan, they will not find an opportunity to make a move for at least ten years.

Ten years later, the Son of Heaven is in power, and his grandchildren have grown up. It all depends on God's will whether Gaoping Xishi will make further progress, stay where he is, or decline.

Xi Yin is not sure if he will be able to see that day with his own eyes.

The only thing he can do is to do his best to pave the way for the family, plant good causes for future generations, and hope to bear good results.

Taking Xie An as Situ and Wang Biaozhi as Sikong is not only an affirmation of the merits of the two, but also a consolation to the two surnames.With the wisdom of the two families, they should be able to understand the intention behind the emperor.

What's more, Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi marched westward with the army, with a broad vision, they may not be interested in the Beifu army.Instead of forcing it, it is better to go down the steps to avoid the rift between the monarch and his ministers and destroy the current good situation.

These two decrees are both comforting and shocking. The officials couldn't figure it out for a while, but after returning home, they discussed carefully, and they could always think through it thoroughly and finally come to the answer.

The Taiyuan Wang family was not above the imperial decree, but there was no dissatisfaction.

After Wang Tanzhi passed away, there was no one in the family who could stand up to Xie An and Wang Biaozhi, so it is not a good thing to be promoted hastily.

This does not mean that the Wang family of Taiyuan was overwhelmed.

On the contrary, during the emperor's hunting tour, there were six or seven princes from the Wang clan accompanying him. Now they are all working in Bianzhou.

Xi Yin is waiting, waiting for the children of the clan to grow up, so why not the Taiyuan Wang family.

The gentry's noble family has big roots and deep roots. As long as the family tradition is not corrupted, talents can always be cultivated.At that time, the elder will withdraw from the court, and the younger man will be evenly matched. It is still unknown who will win the battle.

After the court meeting, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi went together.

Before boarding the car, I happened to see Xi Yin, Xi Chao and his father walking out of the palace door together.

After seeing each other, they didn't say anything in person, they just clasped their hands together, nodded as a signal, and immediately boarded the carriage.

The healthy servant controlled the reins, the steed snorted, and the patter of hooves sounded soon.

The four horse-drawn carriages passed through the royal road, and accompanied by crisp whips, they quickly turned around and drove towards Bird Clothes Lane and Qingxili respectively.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Huan Rong sat alone for a while, and suddenly slapped the wooden couch, and the eunuchs who were waiting on the side suddenly trembled.

"His Majesty?"

"It's nothing." Huan Rong waved his hands, dismissed the eunuch and maidservant, spread the silk cloth with his own hands, and wrote a short message with a pen.

The door of the palace was pushed open, but the eunuch didn't know why, so Huan Rong strode out to the Changle Palace where Princess Nankang and Mrs. Li lived, intending to borrow the pigeon.

Just because you can't see each other doesn't mean you can't write letters.

It doesn't matter if you can't find Qin Jing, Xihai County can't escape, I heard that Qin Jun is stationed here, and it's always okay to send a letter on behalf of each other because of their "covenant" relationship.

The content of the letter is very simple, Huan Rong can guarantee that no one can understand it except him and Qin Jing.

As for whether Qin Jing will be irritable with him after receiving the letter... Huan Rong shrugged his shoulders, being irritable is just right for him.

It doesn't make sense for two of them to be vegetarians, but he alone can't sleep well!
