The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

In all dynasties and generations, the post of marshal of the armed forces was temporarily conferred by the emperor.Once the war is over, the marshal will go to Beijing to face the saint, resign from his post, and return the commander's seal.

On the day His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, he had handed in the commander's seal in time, and he was relieved of the position of marshal. Now he has no title of prince.

Even though he was the crown prince five years ago, Fei's party members dared to impeach him easily.

This time, that time, and now, he has returned with evil spirits. Although he has resigned from office and has no real power, his reputation has already spread far and wide, and no one dares to underestimate his imposing manner.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that behind him is the backing of 80 troops and the love of the citizens of 47 Beiguan cities. The love of living and dying for five years makes those hard-working men willingly worship.

For a while, there was nothing else to say in the court except for the praise of the prince and his three generals.

Emperor Taikang nodded in satisfaction. Although Gongsun Tuo was loyal to him, he was full of arrogance.

Even if he ordered Gongsun Tuo to assist the prince, Gongsun Tuo was only following orders, not sincerely.

Chen'er used these five years to unite the three armies into one, twisting hemp into a rope.It is not easy to retreat from Jialou outside and surrender generals inside.

And although he was full of evil spirits that made ordinary people fearful, he was not proud of being favored. He resigned from his post and handed in his seal the same day he returned to the court, which made Fei Dang unable to grasp it.

……

Dayao Palace, Imperial Study Room

"I will see my father." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed from the black armor to a white silk dress, and the evil spirit in his body has been slightly restrained.

Only then did Emperor Taikang really smile, and hurriedly called him to stand up and give him a seat.

"Chen'er, you have done very well in the past five years, and the emperor is very satisfied." Emperor Taikang carefully looked at the grown-up Li Haochen, and his joy was even greater.

Xin'er, you have a spirit in the sky, our son has grown up and is the leader alone, have you seen it?

"It's my honor to be able to share my father's worries, but my father still has one request." Li Haochen didn't get up, and his respect was even more serious.

"Oh, what's the matter? But it's okay to say." Emperor Taikang asked with a raised brow in high spirits.

"The 47th city of Beiguan has been affected by the five-year war, and the people are in dire straits. Before leaving, the son promised that they would ask the father to give them the most generous recuperation policy after returning to Beijing, so as to ensure that they can get their lives back on track as soon as possible. Please, father, punish your son and minister for violating his authority!"

This matter should have been reported by local officials, not by him, the crown prince.

Emperor Taikang knew about this matter long ago, but deliberately did not mention it, because he had the heart to adapt to the situation.

Now that Li Haochen talked about this matter, he pretended not to know, was taken aback, and then nodded: "You did a good job, it should be so. It's just why Chen'er has such an idea?"

"Before I left, I went to pay homage to the martyr's tombs near Longcheng. Some of these martyr's tombs were buried by soldiers, and some were buried by the people of Guancheng. Most of them were anonymous tombs, only the loess was cultivated. Proof that this life has come."

"They are all men from all over the country, from all over the world. They were supposed to support their families, but they suffered from this catastrophe due to the war. Among them, there are countless men from Beiguan. In order to save face, our royal family sent them Pull up the front and charge, the land there is deserted, and the people suffer from hunger and cold."

"Dayao Kingdom has benefited from their defense of the territory, but now they have to collect taxes from widowed mothers and old women after the war is over. If this is true, the people of Beiguan will not be chilled. Once it is done, all bones will be destroyed. People see the victory of the war , but we should not forget the cruelty of war. The father ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the sons did not understand it before, but they understood it at the time."

"War is hard, recuperation is soft. Only one hard and one soft can last long. My son lamented that the people in the north had never been tortured to death by war, but it would be difficult to be taxed, so they did not report to you, father, and acted willfully."

It is rare for a crown prince to say so much. After listening to this long conversation, Emperor Taikang's frown slightly relaxed, "What the crown prince has done is not only innocent, but also meritorious. I should have thought of this long ago, but I usually After receiving good news, I was happy to ignore it. Get up, sit down and talk."

"Thank you for your kindness." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince then stood up and knelt down on the mat beside him.

"I wanted to call you here today, but I didn't expect Chen'er to come here earlier. It also saves me from passing you on." Emperor Taikang took a sip of tea and shook the memorial in his hand. Resignation, second place Xu Ziya, Tanhua is a child from a poor family."

"Xu Ci was your reading companion. Back then, I didn't like Xu Ci very much. But you insisted, and I agreed. But I didn't expect that in the end, I was wrong. I just thought he was a stubborn bastard. Unexpectedly, time has passed, and at such a young age, he has become the number one scholar in the new discipline. I sent the secret guards to inquire about it, and the kid's reputation in the East Street is now very good, and Gongsun Tuo's third brother, Gongsun Yu, is also good, and he is this year's champion in martial arts."

"I intend to train the two of them to be your right and left hands, what do you think?"

When Xu Ci was mentioned, Li Haochen's serious face showed some warmth, and even Emperor Taikang felt a little jealous when he saw it.

Li Haochen cupped his hands, "The minister there is here to thank the emperor first."

Now in the middle of the court, there are three generations of old, middle-aged and young, and old officials are gradually withdrawing from the court. Fei Yuanzheng has taken advantage of the five years since Li Haochen's departure to continue to grow his power, and he needs to use Fei Yuanzheng to fight against the Great Moon Kingdom. He can only turn a blind eye to this matter. Close one eye.

This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Two years ago, Fei Yuanzheng even captured a prince from the Great Moon Kingdom who had come to the battlefield in person. In exchange for the prince, he got back the fourth prince Li Haosheng who had been a hostage in the Moon Kingdom for 15 years.

Among the humble children he used to check and balance the power of the clan, now only the prime minister can be reused, and the others have already gone downhill. He is becoming more and more useless as an emperor.

Fei Yuanzheng is not a fool either, although he intends to promote Li Haocheng as the crown prince, but Li Haochen is still on the battlefield, if he raised it before, it would only be counterproductive.

Now that the prince has returned, his reputation is flourishing, and there are 80 troops behind him to contend with.As the father, he wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue to consolidate the position of the crown prince.Otherwise, one day when Fei Yuanzheng sees that Chen'er's momentum has passed, it will be easy to push him to step down and mobilize his party members to impeach him.

The two father and son talked for a while, and then Li Haochen bowed and left.

Seeing Li Haochen walking away, Emperor Taikang sighed, and called to the inside of the imperial study, "Master Puhui, please come out quickly."

As soon as Emperor Taikang finished speaking, a monk in green clothes came out from the inner room, with a crane beard and a childlike face, with kind brows and kind eyes, and nine ring scars on his head.

Master Puhui said "Amitabha", "This poor monk is here."

"Master, how does the prince look like me?"

"The killing is too heavy, full of evil spirits, but there is still a bit of goodwill. The prince can still remember the poor people struggling in poverty. It is extremely difficult. When His Highness was born, the poor monk once read the horoscope for the prince. The prince is a greedy wolf star. When I meet an evil star again, I will become a greedy wolf evil star, and my fate is ill-fated. I am doomed to be alone all my life, provoke wars, and cannot end well.”

After hearing this, Emperor Taikang's face became more gloomy, "Is there a way to solve it?"

"This...forgive me for the poor monk's inexperienced skills, and there is no way to crack it." There is a way to crack it, but the secret must not be revealed.

Two years ago, when he watched the stars at night, he found that the star Ziwei was bright, and the star of greedy wolf and Ziwei star competed to echo each other, quite in a state of superiority.

If the Ziwei star falls, the greedy wolf evil star may change its fate, occupy the Ziwei star's fate, call the emperor the emperor, and enjoy the prosperity and peace forever.

But the price of doing so is to change fate against the sky and kill the original true destiny, which is against the way of heaven and will be punished by heaven.

"However, your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although the poor monk has no way to crack it now, there is a way to alleviate it." Master Puhui couldn't bear the frowning and distressed appearance of a generation of emperors, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Master, please tell me quickly, how to relieve it?"

"The poor monk looked at the stars at night, and there was a bean-sized Wenqu star next to the greedy wolf star that was supposed to be empty. Although the light of this Wenqu star was faint, it stretched endlessly, showing vitality. The greedy wolf Together with the evil star Wenquxing, the red evil spirit on its body has also weakened a bit. Your Majesty might as well let this Wenquxing follow the prince at all times, or it may reduce the hostility on the prince."

"Wen Qu Xing, Wen Qu Xing," Emperor Taikang stroked his beard and thought carefully, "Could it be Xu Ci, the current top scholar in the new discipline?" His eyes were shining brightly, and he said happily.

That's right, it must be that Xu Ci, the moment the prince saw him, the chill all over his body subsided.

Master Puhui clasped his hands together, nodded and smiled slightly, "Amitabha, this is the man."

Hearing what Master Puhui said, Emperor Taikang already had a plan in mind.

……

Under the service of Nian Bai and Nian Xiao, Xu Ci changed into the red wedding dress of the new champion, and his hair was tied up high into a bun and put into the gauze hat.

Read Bai hehe and laughed, Song Taigong was full of praise when he saw it, "Not bad, very solemn, follow me into the palace to meet the saint."

Today is the day when His Majesty summons the civil and military top three to face the saint. Song Taigong loves his grandson so much that he insists on going with him.Xu Ci couldn't resist him, so he could only ask Nian Bai and Nian Xiao to help Song Taigong well.

Song Taigong is more than seventy years old, and his body is still strong, with good teeth and taste.It's also because Mrs. Wang took good care of her at home, so she looked younger in the past two years.

In front of the palace gate, Xu Ci met Lin and Xu Ziya by chance. Now Lin has become Xu Changzong's official wife, but she can't live the days of domineering, well-clothed and extravagant in Xu's mansion.

Xu Changzong's few salaries, except for food and shopping, the remaining money can't buy a few maids at all.Now Xu's Mansion on West Street only bought a few women who wash and cook and housekeepers, and the life of a noble lady in the past has long since left them.

Today's Lin's clothes are generous and decent, but they are also ordinary clothes, not the brocade and neon clothes before.

Seeing Xu Ci, Lin's face was full of embarrassment. She pretended not to see Xu Ci, gave Xu Ziya a few words, and went back to the carriage.

And Xu Ziya experienced the instant change of his family background from wealthy to ordinary, only to realize that all the glory he enjoyed before was due to Xu Ci's glory.In the past five years, his mood has changed a lot, and he is no longer the pedantic boy he was back then.

When he saw Xu Ci, he greeted Xu Ci with a smile, as if he wanted to settle his suspicions.

Xu Ci nodded in return, and helped Song Taigong to walk ahead.

Xu Ziya didn't dare to pass Song Taigong, so he could only follow behind him step by step, without saying a word.

When they reached the main hall, the other four people had already arrived, and it was said that the eunuch saw the six people coming together, and then went into the back hall to report to the emperor.
