eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 585
In fact, other things happened in the capital. For example, several clans who caused disturbances in the Han Palace were arrested, and after they were arrested, the group of weak bones talked about the whole thing before they were tortured.

In this way, Yan Song became passive.

Because it was Yan Song who helped them get through the household department through his own relationship.

This kind of thing would have caused an uproar, but now that there is a mutiny in Jizhou, it seems that no one cares about it.

According to Zhu Houzhao's plan, he will demote Yan Song to Guizhou as soon as the winter is over. Now the courtiers' attention is not on this, which is just right.You can also appoint a bigger official.

After a year has passed, the facts have been established, and it has been dealt with anyway. Then there will not be so many people making irresponsible remarks.

Yan Song also knows his situation in the next few years. Although he is a little sad, he has no choice but to accept it.

Before leaving, he also reported the results of his discussions with You Sanchun, which was regarded as his "last post" in this position.

Zhu Houzhao still summoned him.

Yan Song kowtowed and said: "There is a disaster in the border town, and the minister intends to stay in the capital and do his best for His Majesty."

"What Huiyan remembers is that you have done your best, and the court will have an extra source of income in the future. If you really start a war, you will always have more confidence."

"Your Majesty has a long-term vision and plans for the overall situation, and the border town affairs will be settled in one fell swoop."

He is leaving, even if he is not going to leave for a few days, but because there are so many things to do next, it is unlikely that he will be announced again.

Zhu Houzhao thought so, and then waved to him, while Yan Song pointed at himself, "Minister?"

"Come here, sit down on the stairs."

After sitting down, the emperor patted Yan Song on the shoulder, "Weizhong."

"Your Majesty, I'm here." Yan Song half-turned around and held his hands.

"I don't have any other thoughts, I just want a prosperous world. You should go to find out the specific situation of the Southwest first. What is written on paper will eventually feel shallow. Sometimes the memorials may not be clear."

"Yes, I understand."

"There is no falsehood between our monarchs and ministers. Any means of winning people's hearts is a technique, not a way. I want to use the way to employ people and govern the country." Zhu Houzhao stood up and pointed at him and said, "The way is also simple, and I will do it well. The big thing on my mind is not for myself, but for Daming Jiangshan, I also want to recite your merits!"

Yan Song turned over and knelt down again, "Your Majesty, I don't have any other thoughts. As a subject, I just want to serve the monarch. I was originally a commoner and poor, but I got to know him today. Your Majesty is a wise king through the ages. I am loyal to Your Majesty, and I am willing! "

"Haha."

Sometimes, treacherous ministers are also very useful.

"You address, You address."

"The servant is here."

"Think about it and reward him with something."

"what?"

Zhu Houzhao clicked his tongue and said, "I was demoted to Guizhou, it's so far away. Besides, I don't have many caring people in the court, so I'll reward you!"

"That……"

You Zhi is very strange, why are you the emperor, tell me, what are you doing with me?So he opened his hands wide and stared blankly for a few seconds.

"Useless stuff!" Zhu Hou reprimanded him, "This is Weizhong, after you go down to find Youzhi, you say it yourself, without the presence of the emperor, then say it boldly. Whatever you want, I will give it."

The reason why he dares to say this is because a super smart person like Yan Song knows how to measure.

"I thank your Majesty Long En!"

In fact, it was difficult to figure out what the emperor meant. Anyway, You Zhi was a little confused.

But after going down, the two sat together, but Yan Song could explain clearly, he laughed with him and said: "Elder-in-law, although your Majesty said that, but as a courtier, how dare you ask your Majesty for a reward."

"Brother Yan, don't blame my brother. We didn't understand the situation at that time and His Majesty's holy will."

"This is not my fault, father-in-law. This is also the first time for father-in-law."

You Zhi paused, then nodded, "Ah, yes."

Yan Song smiled calmly, "Since ancient times, power has been in the hands of the superiors. The wise king who rewards favors and punishes sins has never left others alone, but your majesty lets my father-in-law think about it. This is unusual."

"Makes sense."

"Because your Majesty knows that things in the southwest are difficult to handle. No matter how great Yan Song is, he is not as good as his father-in-law, the supervisor of ceremonies, or the emperor. But it is always inconvenient for the emperor to come forward every time, so he asked Yan Song to lead the supervisor of ceremonies and your reward." , after taking it, brother, I will be my father-in-law’s, so your father-in-law can’t ignore me, nor can I ignore Southwest.”

You Zhi straightened his back, this, what does the emperor mean?

But to say that this explanation is not completely unreasonable, the emperor has indeed never done this before.

"Your Majesty is devoted to state affairs, and he must be doing this for the sake of state affairs. Brother Yan, don't worry, you are His Majesty's ministers, and our family is His Majesty's slaves. Our hearts are always going to the same place. There is no such thing, Brother Yan's business is also my business."

Yan Song got up, his face straightened, "Elder-in-law is righteous!"

After saying this, he left the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but his expression changed as soon as he left.

He didn't care what the emperor was thinking, anyway, he explained things in a direction that would benefit him.

Maybe the emperor is just tired.

After all, I heard that I haven't closed my eyes all day and night.

In the end Concubine Jing came and pulled him away. No one else dared to do such a thing. Concubine Jing has medical skills. She flickered and said that her pulse was too fast and her face was dark. The emperor had nothing to do.

Even if he persisted, the minister dared not move.

So Zhu Houzhao went to rest for most of the day, and didn't wake up until the afternoon.

As he got up to eat, he asked, "Any news?"

"If you go back to the emperor, there was a military report earlier. The rebels have arrived in Qianxi, and General Yang has caught up with them. But there is no success report yet."

Zhu Houzhao stood up, twisted and stretched, "Where is the attendant's room?"

"Your Majesty, that Ma Bin has been waiting for a long time."

"Oh. Is that Ma Bin from Ningxia?"

"Yes."

The emperor slapped his head, "I almost forgot, let's go and have a look."

……

……

"My lord, Ma Bin, commander of the Ningxia rearguard, is here to pay homage to His Majesty."

Ma Bin pressed his palms to the ground, and he didn't dare to look up for the first time.

But just after a hasty glance, the emperor who is famous all over the world is so young, and the most important thing is... so tender.

This is different from the people in their wind and sand. I have almost never seen anything like this in Ningxia.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Lord."

"I heard the report from the people below. You have a younger sister who is in poor health and has traveled a long distance. Is she in good health?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about our brothers and sisters. Before entering the palace, I happened to bump into the former imperial envoy Mr. Zhang Cong. He has already arranged this matter for me."

Zhu Houzhao's brows twitched imperceptibly.

The weather outside the hall was still dim. Although it wasn't raining, it always felt that the clouds were thick and the light was not enough, and even the inside was a bit dark.

"Just ran into each other?"

"If you go back to the emperor, you just ran into him outside the city that never sleeps."

The emperor concealed a trace of unhappiness, and his face remained normal, "Ma Bin, I still lack a good deputy envoy for Jin Yiwei. I heard that you have done a good job in promoting the clearing of the military settlements in Ningxia. I want to reward you for your merits, so I intend to transfer you to Beijing. Would you like to?

This is what I had in mind...

You Zhi felt surprised when he heard it.

But when the emperor heard about Zhang Cong, he was a little unhappy. After thinking about it, he realized that the emperor probably still didn't like civil servants to make friends with him.

Zhang Cong made a contribution last time, and his holy will is in full swing, so I'm afraid he's getting carried away with complacency.

"My minister is willing to obey the emperor's orders!"

"Have you heard about the military turmoil in Jizhou outside?"

"Sir, I heard."

"What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right, and the court is also right. If you don't clear the village, the military households will run away."

Youzhi's complexion changed, and he reminded softly, "You must not talk nonsense!"

Ma Bin didn't know the rules in the palace, so he was quite scared to be frightened like this, "Your Majesty, the minister said the wrong thing!"

"Talk." Zhu Houzhao glanced at Youzhi, turned around and said with a smile, "You're right, and you, an uneducated guy, can't say those polite words, but it's fun. Deputy Jin Yiwei, you Take it on, maybe you have never been a job before, and you are familiar with it, and then go to Jizhou on my behalf."

"I dare you, I don't know... what does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and embraced his chest, "Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army, and acts on behalf of the emperor. Those who obey the order are not guilty, and those who resist the order are capital punishment. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty made it very clear."

"Is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult, it's very simple."

Zhu Houzhao smiled, this answer is interesting.

"Go down."

"Yes."

Looking at the back of this man, Zhu Houzhao was a little lost. He was originally going to show kindness. This kind of position and this kind of task required kindness.

But Zhang Cong suddenly appeared and there was a little change.

This guy……

The emperor went all the way to transfer such a person to the capital, why didn't he use his brain to think about it?

No, this guy is still smart, he should have thought of it, but he saw that Ma Bin was promoted, so he still couldn't hold back.

This is called not understanding the rules.

Not mentioning this, he still followed the original plan for Ma Bin's arrangement.

"Don't you quite understand, why not let Mao Yuwen do it?" Zhu Hou looked at You Zhi who was hesitant to speak.

"The servant is stupid, and I really don't understand."

"If you don't have this person, you can do Chinese. But with him, he will be even better. From the capital to Jizhou, he doesn't know anyone. Sometimes, strangers are easy to handle."

You Zhi woke up after hearing this.

It seemed that the emperor wanted this person to kill him all the way.

About an hour later, Yang Yiqing and Wang Bing shuffled to the Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience.

Zhu Houzhao knew something was wrong when he saw their expressions, "What's wrong?"

Wang Bing quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Yang Shangyi won first and then lost in Qianxi, and now he has returned to Zunhua City!"

"What's going on? What does it mean to win first and then lose?"

Zhu Houzhao immediately opened the things handed over and quickly flipped through them. It turned out that the army's attack on Qianxi was unstoppable. However, during the fierce battle, a part of the army suddenly rushed out. It was a bit confusing.Fortunately, with the protection of cavalry, only more than a thousand people were lost. The main force was not lost, but they could only return to Zunhua to rest and recuperate.

"Yang Shangyi underestimated the enemy and made a mistake! He only brought [-] soldiers!"

After reading it, the emperor threw the document to the ground!
