Song Emperor Jiangshan

When Zhao Yuan got up and walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head. The sun on the floor of the room was drawn into a neat grid by the window, and one grid just fell on Xiao Shan's pillow. There was dust dancing in the beam of light. Mu has not had time to take it back.Zhao Yuan only felt that such a scene was beautiful, and after watching it for a while, he said, "I'll come to see you at night."

Xiao Shan smiled, showing his white teeth, lying on the bed casually, watching Zhao Yuan leave.

After Zhao Yuan left Xiaoshan's residence, he walked straight towards the Jiankang mansion. He had a smile on his face when he left Xiaoshan's room, but the more he walked towards the Jiankang mansion, the smile on his face became less and less , until finally he sat on the improvised throne, his expression became solemn and majestic: "Tell Dudu Zhang to come to see me!"

Zhang Jun had long heard that the emperor had gone to visit Xiaoshan, and he stayed in his room for the whole afternoon. He knew that he would be reprimanded for beating up the celebrity next to the emperor today, but Zhang Jun was not worried about this at all. : Regarding Xiaoshan being beaten, he can argue with Zhao Yuan. As long as he wins this contest, no one will dare not to listen to what he says in the future—the emperor will give me three points, let alone other people?

Zhang Jun straightened his clothes, wearing a crimson court uniform and a black official hat with long legs, and walked towards the temporary Chongzheng Hall.

Unexpectedly by Zhang Jun, not only himself, but also some other civil servants and military generals stood in the palace. Judging from this posture, Zhao Yuan is going to settle accounts with himself in front of everyone?

Zhang Jun didn't take it seriously: How could a little boy be the opponent of a veteran minister like himself who has been in the officialdom for many years?Just remember that this time, you will never see a white-eyed wolf like Qin Hui again.

Zhang Jun walked into the hall and saluted Zhao Yuan: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan nodded, with a steady voice: "Zhang Qingping, I came to you because I want to have a closer look at the layout of Caishiji!"

This was completely beyond Zhang Jun's expectation, he never thought that Zhao Yuan would not mention Xiao Shan's matter at all, since he didn't mention it, then he didn't have to mention it either.

So Zhang Jun took a step forward, pointed at the map hanging in the main hall, and slowly began his narration, covering everything from the terrain to the deployment of troops. When Zhang Jun was talking, Zhao Yuan would interrupt him If so, ask some questions that make it difficult for him to answer.

For example, Zhang Jun said: It should be Wan Yanliang who led the army to attack Caishiji, as well as Yelu Yuanyi and several other generals.

Zhao Yuan would then ask: Who are the other generals?What about his parents and wife?

For another example, when Zhang Jun said that he had dispatched Cheng Min's headquarters to garrison, Zhao Yuan would ask: Who are the lieutenant generals, partial generals, subordinate generals, and team generals?

Zhang Jun felt that his words were often interrupted, and he was a little unhappy, but the other party was the emperor, so he could only endure it. When Zhang Jun finished speaking, Zhao Yuan first praised him, and suddenly changed the subject, saying: " I heard that most of the battle reports are sent directly to the Governor's Mansion? Starting tomorrow, no matter how big or small they are, they will all be sent to me, and I will review them myself." His tone was irrefutable, and he did not give Zhang Jun any chance to object.

But Zhang Jun still seized the gap between Zhao Yuan's speech and expressed his own thoughts: His Majesty has a lot of things to deal with every day, and if there are some details that are too detailed, it is enough for the minister to deal with.

Zhao Yuan turned his head slowly, stared into Zhang Jun's eyes, and didn't speak. This action made Zhang Jun a bit confused about what the emperor was thinking, let alone where he said something wrong.This was the case when Zhao Gou was the emperor in the past, and the emperor did have a lot of things to do, so he didn't need to bother him with some small things.

Zhao Yuan waited for a long time before he said: "My imperial conquest is not just for show. When I ascended the throne, I encountered Wanyan Liang's southern invasion. It was a crisis, but it was also a good training opportunity, so that I can learn more Get in touch with the war and prepare for the future Northern Expedition. No matter what happens in the future, as long as the number of people dispatched exceeds [-], you must report to me first." His request will definitely make him even busier, but it is also a future. It is an opportunity to hold the power in your hands, not to let the people below look down on him when he is newly enthroned.

Zhang Jun felt that the emperor was troublesome, but Zhao Yuan didn't stop there, and continued: "Any military officer of the sixth rank or above, rewards or punishments must also be reported to me. .No one should be selfish."

Zhang Jun opened his mouth slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Yuan's stern tone: "Just like what happened in Xiaoshan today, he made a mistake, he should act in accordance with the imperial decree, and no one is allowed to act arbitrarily without the imperial decree! Now when the imperial court is employing troops, outsiders Facing a great enemy, such matters must be handled more carefully, so as not to cause disasters."

Zhang Jun felt that there was no place to use his strength. Zhao Yuan did not entangle him at all about the right or wrong handling of Xiaoshan's problem. Instead, he pointed the finger at his private handling, and he couldn't find any reason to refute.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Jun bowed and said, "I know I was wrong. I also felt that it was a little inappropriate for General Xiao to be beaten, but at that time I was focused on strict military discipline, so I didn't consider..."

Zhao Yuan said softly, "I didn't say anything wrong with Mr. Zhang's handling. He should have been punished for staying here without permission. It's just that if there are similar things in the future, we need to ask the imperial decree to implement them!"

Zhang Jun felt that the new emperor was not easy to deal with. When he worked under Zhao Gou in the past, Zhao Gou would succumb if he persisted and became tough.But now, he raised his head to see Zhao Yuan's expression, Zhao Yuan's face was serious, with a businesslike look, there was no room for negotiation.

Zhang Jun bowed and saluted: "I obey the order!"

Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "It's getting late today, let's go here, Mr. Zhang, send all the recent battle reports here, I want to check carefully to understand the situation."

Everyone filed out, and after a while Zhang Jun returned with two guards, carrying two stacks of battle reports, and placed them in front of Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan didn't say much, and signaled the guards to put down their things. When Zhang Jun walked out the door, the censor Wang Shipeng he had promoted caught up and said, "Dudu Zhang, His Majesty seems to be very dissatisfied with you. I'm afraid it's not too good. ah!"

Zhang Jun glanced at Zhao Yuan's office, where the lights were still on in the distance, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't dare to take anything against me if you are dissatisfied. If you don’t do everything yourself like this, you will definitely delegate power to others.”

Zhao Yuan looked through the battle reports from various places one by one, and felt a little headache.There are so many of these two hills in one day, and it is absolutely impossible for me to finish them all. If I force myself to finish them, I will not even think about doing other things in one day.

Zhao Yuan thought for a while, and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go and carry these battle reports to Xiaoshan!"

Gan Min was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He recruited two powerful eunuchs, put the battle report in a bamboo basket, and carried it out.

Xiao Shan was extremely tired today, and he fell asleep as soon as Zhao Yuan left. The other party didn't take it seriously when he came back to see him tonight. When he was sleeping soundly, he heard footsteps outside. After a while, he went to his room. There are two baskets of battle reports piled up in the middle.Xiao Shan reluctantly got up and asked, "Lord Gan, what is this?"

Before Gan Min could answer, Zhao Yuan's voice sounded outside the door: "You all go down! I have something to discuss with Xiao Tongzhi."

The eunuchs secretly guessed in their stomachs that Zhao Yuan had already stood in Xiaoshan's room.

Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise: "This is your Majesty?" He pointed to the two baskets of things piled up in front of his bed.

Zhao Yuan said: "I said I would come to see you tonight, there are too many things to do, so I might as well move here."

As Zhao Yuan said, he sat down on Xiao Shan's bedside, went to pick out the wicks of the oil lamps in the room, and carefully read the battle report.

Xiao Shan lay on Zhao Yuan's lap and took the opportunity to eat some tofu.

Zhao Yuan didn't pay too much attention to Xiao Shan's overstepping behavior. When the other party went too far, he stretched out his hand and said, "Be honest!"

Xiao Shan saw that Zhao Yuan's upper and lower eyelids were fighting, but he had only read half of the battle report, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty has to read these things in person, and you can't finish reading them overnight, why don't you ask a few more people to help?"

Zhao Yuan hummed, continued to flip through the battle report, and occasionally asked, "Who is Li Yang?"

Xiao Shan said: "It's a team leader under Shao Hongyuan's subordinate Jin Sheng, who is in charge of the Zhenjiang Mansion. Why does His Majesty even ask him?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I did something stupid today, and now I'm regretting it, don't ask."

Of course Xiao Shan refused to give up. After asking, Zhao Yuan repeated his request to Zhang Jun today, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I have seen these things, but Mr. Zhang may not have read them all. I didn't expect such a thing. many."

Xiao Shan said with a grin: "It's not easy for Your Majesty to intervene in person. I have a simple method. How can one person read all of this? The daily battle report is sent to His Majesty, and he is ordered to copy two copies. Send it to the people below. Wouldn’t it be enough to randomly check it at that time?”

Zhao Yuan said: "I am worried that some things will be overlooked."

Enduring the pain, Xiao Shan got up from the bed, went to help Zhao Yuan look through the battle report, glanced at it hastily, and put it into piles.

Zhao Yuan then understood Xiao Shan's meaning, put aside the news of the Jin people, put aside the fighting among his own people, put aside the issue of food and grass, and put aside the internal problems of the army.There are as many as four or five privy envoys, so if you look at them individually, just do a spot check yourself.It is convenient to discuss issues with each other, and it is also convenient to find the person in charge if something goes wrong, so as to avoid the unclear power and responsibility like before, and blame each other when something goes wrong.

The two of them sorted things out quickly, and there were not too many news about the Jinren and their own military developments, so Zhao Yuan picked the closest one according to the day.

Xiao Shan rested on Zhao Yuan's lap, and when he saw him licking his lips, he gave him water to drink.Seeing Zhao Yuan approaching the oil lamp with the battle report, he stretched out his hand to brighten the wick of the oil lamp.

In less than an hour, Zhao Yuan finished the important things he wanted to see, and put aside the later food and internal disputes in the army.When he was reading the battle report, he didn't feel too tired. Now, after reading the things, his eyes were a little starry. He wanted to lean on the bedside and squint his eyes for a while, but he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Xiao Shan raised his head slightly, and saw Zhao Yuan's face was a little pale, leaning against his bed, his eyes were tightly closed, and the corners of his lips were drooping.Xiao Shan stretched out his hand to touch Zhao Yuan, and found that he seemed to have lost some weight, and felt a little distressed.

I didn't enjoy the benefits of being an emperor at all, but tasted all the troubles and worries.

Enduring the pain in his body, he took off Zhao Yuan's boots and laid his body flat so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Zhao Yuan felt in a daze that someone was hugging him, usually he would wake up early, but now in Xiaoshan's room, he thought it would be a big deal to give him some tofu, or to satisfy his sleep.

But Xiao Shan didn't eat Zhao Yuan's tofu, instead he gave him his little bed, got up and knelt by the bed, looked at Zhao Yuan in his sleep for a while, and gently kissed the corner of his lips. kissed.

Zhao Yuan opened his eyes abruptly, there was still a trace of bewilderment in his eyes, but he did not avoid Xiao Shan's kiss, but slightly opened his lips to welcome it.

But this action only lasted for less than a second before it changed into something else. Zhao Yuan pushed Xiao Shan away vigorously, sat up from the bed, his eyes were full of clarity: "It's getting late, I'm going back. You don't have to Too much worry, take care of your wounds."

However, before he could finish a sentence, he suddenly heard someone outside the door saying: "Your Majesty, it's not good, we're fighting!"

Zhao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and frowned slightly. According to the battle report he had read just now, it was not so intense that he would fight in the middle of the night.He wasn't too flustered, and his voice was steady: "Come in, what happened?"

The one who came in was Chen Junqing, Minister of the Household Department in charge of grain and grass. He went to the Jiankang mansion to look for Zhao Yuan. He heard that the emperor was in the courtier's room in the middle of the night. Beside Xiao Shan's bed, he was barefoot with no boots on.Xiao Shan, on the other hand, was kneeling on the bed, his upper body was naked, the thin quilt slid down to his waist, and his lower body was probably also naked.

When Chen Junqing was the prince of Zhao Yuan, he worked as an instructor in his residence for a period of time. He heard that Zhao Yuan and Xiao Shan had a very good relationship, but from the current situation, I am afraid that it is not just a word of "very good". Can describe.The emperor was lying on the bed of a naked courtier in the middle of the night. Although Xiao Shan didn't look attractive, the situation in front of him was——Xiao Shan, this five big and three rough generals, was seducing the emperor?And he disturbed the emperor's Yaxing who was about to raise his gun to go into battle?
