sweeping the world

Chapter 520 Several joys and sorrows

Sang Yu didn't know about the cancellation of the left and right prime ministers in advance, and Liu Yan didn't communicate with him in advance about the appointment of the imperial envoy. It can be said that Liu Yan... maybe Ji Chang was also involved, and he was completely unaware of the situation The established facts are formed in the form of imperial edicts.

Prime Minister You is in charge of civil affairs, and can participate in or intervene in all political affairs about "people" in the country.In such a position, if one really wants to fill one's own pocket or seek profit for the family, one only needs to fiddle with the administrative documents a little.Even if the people below are aware of their actions, do they dare to offend a right prime minister who holds great power?Obviously only fools would dare, but there won't be so many fools in officialdom.

Liu Yan could see sweat dripping from Sang Yu's forehead to the floor.

Sang Yu was really frightened that he could still sweat on the ground in such a cold day.His attention is not on his body now, otherwise he would feel drenched all over, and his underwear has completely stuck to his skin.All his will now is to support his clear consciousness, and the alarm bells in his mind are ringing loudly. If he doesn't support it with all his strength, his eyes will be black and black, and Venus will burst out wildly, and it is not uncommon to faint.

Some people were happy and some were sad. After the imperial edict was read, the sound of dissolving the court was called out, and Liu Yan stepped into the apse. Most of the people still kept their kneeling postures, and those who stood up had strange faces and did not leave.

It was about a quarter of an hour after Liu Yan left that the people in the hall seemed to have recovered from shock or joy. First, congratulations appeared one after another, and those who thought it was a good thing would respond with smiles on their faces, feeling damaged. People have a stiff smile.

It took Sang Yu a quarter of an hour to get back to normal. He wanted to find Ji Chang, and he searched for Ji Chang among the shadows of his colleagues for a long time. During this period, he had to deal with all kinds of good intentions or malice, but he couldn't find Ji Chang after a round. .

"Congratulations, Prime Minister You...ah, no, it's time to call him Doctor Imperial Envoy." Ran Min blocked Sangyu outside the hall with a cheerful face, and when he blocked people, he acted in a seemingly heartless manner , completely disregarding Sangyu's unwillingness to talk to him at all, and then said: "With the talents of the public, I will definitely be able to make great efforts for the integrity of the officialdom of the great man, that is..."

Sang Yu had already saluted politely just now, and was depressed that the hussar general Ran Mintang, who was more powerful than Sangong, could do such a thing.

"It's not polite at all to return to the imperial envoy." The person Ran Min spoke to was Huan Wen who happened to be passing by. He directly reached out and grabbed Huan Wen, and then said with a surprised expression on Huan Wen's face: "Waiting for Su Xiao, Heng An, Rui Only a few qualified people come out, find a place to drink together."

Su Xiao is Xu Zheng's nickname, and Ran Min's position as a general cannot actually be called Taiwei's nickname, but Ran Min obviously didn't care at all.

After thinking about it for a while, Huan Wen knew what Ran Min meant.

Xu Zheng is the Taiwei, Ran Min is the general of the hussars, Lu Tai is the general of the east, Huan Wen is the general of the south, and Li Tan is the general of the north.Among them, Li Tan is the youngest, Xu Zheng and Lu Tai are the oldest, Huan Wenwen and Ran Min joined Liu Yan halfway, and now they are all giants of the military.

The No.1 Taiwei has already appeared in the Han Dynasty, and there are also Hussar Generals who are better than Sangong. Sizheng is the first high-level general to appear, so General Sizhen, General Siping, and General Sifu must It will inevitably appear, but it is not clear whether there will be generals with miscellaneous names.

For Ran Min, apart from General Sizheng, the following Zhonglang generals are not qualified to stand side by side. When his words are heard by the people next to him, he will look sideways, but he still goes his own way. He is really waiting for someone who thinks he is qualified. When they came out, they pulled one by one, but they didn't wait for Xu Zheng.

When Ran Min asked later, Lu Tai provided the answer, saying that Ji Chang and Xu Zheng had been summoned by Liu Yan successively.

The apse is behind the conference hall, which is a casual indoor place. For example, if the king wants to hold a banquet after presiding over the court, it is usually held temporarily in the apse, and the formal state banquet level is to go to a special palace.

Liu Yan didn't meet Ji Chang and Xu Zheng in the back hall, but in a forest garden.

When Shihu built the palace city, many palaces, chapter towers, and pavilions were repaired, but the number of forest gardens was the largest, and then some forest gardens in the south were imitated and constructed.

The forest gardens in the palace city of Xiangguo have different specifications. The largest is the hunting garden of the royal family. There are many animals and beasts in it. If Shihu has time, he will take his courtiers to hunt.

There are rumors that the forest garden in Xiangguo is an accident-prone place. The reason is that there are too many ferocious beasts in the forest garden, not only in large numbers but also in various types. They live in a wild way, and hunting animals has become a common thing. As a result, some maids, eunuchs, and even guards in Miyagi will be attacked by wild beasts, and tragedies of wild beasts and cannibalism often occur. However, Shihu does not take it seriously. Feel happy.

Shihu's hobbies became a problem for Liu Yan. Before Liu Yan moved in, Linyuan was basically blocked. After deciding to move in, the military used a large number of people to capture and hunt the beasts, but the scope of Linyuan was really large. It is too big, so far it has not been confirmed whether the beast is missing. As a result, members of the royal family can only cats in the harem and cannot hang out.

Liu Yan's own force value is very impressive, and he is always guarded by soldiers, so he is not at all worried about encountering ferocious beasts.After he lived in Miyagi, he had personally killed beasts many times, but he kept it from the civil and military officials.

On the way to Linyuan, Xu Zheng and Ji Chang saw guards still arresting and hunting ferocious beasts. They agreed that this palace city was really outrageous, and that it was more like a dangerous zoo than a place where a king of a country should live.

"So far there has been no wild animal attacking people, but the Taiwei should implore the king to send soldiers to conduct a comprehensive inspection." Ji Chang frowned deeply, very serious: "The king's comfort is related to the country, and members of the royal family must not be lost. "

According to the specifications, the prime minister and the Taiwei can only be said to have equal status, but the difference between the military and the government.Ji Chang's former Prime Minister Zuo was in charge of military affairs, and after the full-time prime minister had a Taiwei, military affairs should of course be under the jurisdiction of the Taiwei.

High-status people don't talk casually. Xu Zheng heard what Ji Chang meant, and he really cared about safety. Could it be that Ji Chang said that he would not intervene in military affairs in the future.

Xu Zheng was very happy to see Ji Chang's kindness, grinning and said: "Lao Ji, we are old acquaintances, why should we be so polite like outsiders. You know what I know, too born to look down on old Xu .”

"..." No matter what, Ji Chang felt that Xu Zheng was a little overjoyed. After walking in silence for a while, he said: "Throughout the ages, a minister should abide by his duty, be loyal to the king, and be worthy of the country."

"Yes, yes, you have a good brain, and what you said is correct." Xu Zheng still had a cheerful look: "Old Xu is happy in his heart, and he doesn't want to imitate you. He is obviously very happy, but he insists on putting on a dead face. "

Ji Chang's cheeks twitched a few times, but he was extremely moved in his heart.

If this person is familiar with the person, the rude person will not pretend to be polite, he is really a close friend, and sometimes he speaks freely because he can trust the other party and is willing to trust the other party with his life.If they weren't all high-ranking and powerful people, if they were caught with a small trick, their families would be ruined and the family would be destroyed. Who doesn't know how to wear a mask to be a human being.

There were not many people who followed Liu Yan to rise up in Changguang County in the early days, but not many survived, and even fewer survived and were able to squeeze into high positions. Xu Zheng and Lu Tai were two of the few. Chang was captured in the Battle of Buqicheng.It seems that Ji Chang's people were still captured by Xu Zheng himself?
After the Battle of Buqicheng, Xu Zheng had constant contact with Ji Chang. The other person who had the most contact was Lu Tai, followed by Li's Fuxiang (Axiang), and then Li Kuang, Qian Jiantong, etc. were added. some people.

If the high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty really want to divide into factions, the group of people who followed Liu Yan and rose to Weimo will naturally become a faction.But now that Ji Chang and Xu Zheng have become No. 1 in military and political affairs respectively, not only Ji Chang thinks it is not that simple, but it seems that Xu Zheng must have guessed something.

When Ji Chang and Xu Zheng saw Liu Yan, Liu Yan had just completed the movement of getting on the horse.

"Choose one yourself." Liu Yan had already changed out of his crown uniform and was wearing a samurai uniform (the legendary Hu uniform for riding and shooting). Weapons, knives, etc. are placed in their proper positions one by one.He turned his head to look at Xu Zheng and Ji Chang who had already selected and rode on their horses, and said, "Let's relax with the widow."

The ready-made prime minister and Taiwei came here just after they participated in the court meeting, and both of them were still wearing great dresses (court clothes).Since there was no mental preparation in advance, and naturally there was no hunting outfit coming, it seemed that Liu Yan had no intention of letting the two of them hunt together. Both of them rode on horseback in full coats.

The horse Liu Yan rides is very majestic. The height of the horse's back should be about 1.7 meters, and the length of the horse's tail is at least about [-] meters.

What is the name of this horse? It is very complicated to explain. It should have been passed down from farther west in the Western Regions? (In fact, it's a Don horse.) If the Chinese custom likes to give nicknames to majestic war horses, it should be another red rabbit.

Many people always think that a war horse is a peerless BMW with its huge size, high back and muscular body, but it is not the case.There are also quite a few types of horses. Among them is a heavy horse, and a heavy horse is just good-looking. Its endurance, impact, and instantaneous force are very worrying, and it is not suitable as a war horse at all. (Soviet 1 Soviet heavy horses were artificially bred only to be used as draft horses)

There is no shortage of horses in the Han Kingdom now, and the breed of horses should be said to be very rich. These are the continuous seizures during the four or five years of fighting with the Shijie Zhao Kingdom, and it is also the fact that the Central Plains under the rule of the Hu people does not lack livestock.

If there are too many horses, it is not difficult to select some particularly excellent horse breeds, especially in the early days when the Huns continued to plunder around the Western Regions, and the Jie people inherited the heritage of the Huns.

The extremely excellent horses have become Liu Yan's collection, and even the Han Dynasty can select enough horses to form [-] cavalry, and the rest of the various types of cavalry can also find suitable war horses.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang asked a question that he had held back for a long time: "If it is to discuss important matters, does the imperial envoy need to be summoned?"

Liu Yan glanced at Ji Chang without answering.

This time, the re-arrangement of official positions by means of rewards is a special arrangement for current affairs. It can be said that the warning to Sang Yu is very important.

There is nothing wrong with Sang Yu's choice to become the leader of the family, but what he did was very problematic.

The aristocratic family is also a part of the country, not to mention the early aristocratic families, but the current aristocratic families are basically moths of the country. They hide their population, wantonly invade the land of the country and the people, including hidden taxes and other behaviors are common, even in the country When faced with a crisis, it will become a scourge, and it is nothing if it is not a moth.

It can be said that the aristocratic family has not changed its style for a day, so it has been against the country for a day. After Sang Yu became the leader of the aristocratic family, he did not change the aristocratic family as Liu Yan hoped. On the contrary, Sang Yu clearly made "business as usual" For his behavior, Liu Yan did not directly dismiss him but merely warned him, it depends on whether Sang Yu can wake up.

Xu Zheng waited for Liu Yan to control the horse to gallop out, control the mount to come to Ji Chang, and said: "Tai'an, what the king says today is what you want, and you can do whatever you want. Can we not feel uncomfortable?"

Many guards on horseback drove their horses to keep up with Liu Yan. Dust and smoke rose amidst the sound of hooves, and another guard on foot ran past.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Ji Chang sighed softly and said, "Zi Shen is a drag on the family."

Xu Zheng grinned and said, "It doesn't necessarily mean that the family is a burden. Look at Yanzhi, Decai and others. They also have families. Why don't they look like Zishen?"

It is true that Lu Yi and Cai You also have a large group of family members, and there are quite a few people under their wings. It seems that they have never heard of the obvious private use of public weapons?
"The Queen's natal family, the Cui family, should be the most corrupt leaders?" Xu Zheng said with a whip in his hand, "Since the early Han Dynasty, the relatives have been the natural leaders of the family. Why didn't the Cui family do that? Boss Xu Ke doesn’t believe that Zi Shen is too powerful or overbearing, or that the Cui family is stupid.”

On the other side, Liu Yan was already drawing his bow and aiming at a wild boar fifty steps away. After the sharp arrow left the string, it hit the wild boar's eye without any mistakes, and the arrow directly made the wild boar, which should weigh seven or eight hundred catties, look at it. kill.

While Ji Chang was still thinking about Xu Zheng's words, Xu Zheng had already patted his horse over to Liu Yan's side.

"Your Majesty's divine archery skills!" Xu Zheng was talking about itchy hands all over his face, and said with a shy expression: "Although I'm wearing court clothes, it doesn't hinder archery. Why don't I let my minister hunt some more so that I can take them back with you?" Now wine and meat?"

Liu Yan knew that what Xu Zheng said about eating wine and meat was true. He heard that Xu Zheng had only been in Xiangguo for less than a month, but he took his family generals and tribes out of the city to hunt every day. Miyagi received prey from time to time.At that time, he sighed with emotion, only Xu Zheng dared to send food to Miyagi, and the rest dared not send a single grain of rice to Miyagi.

In other words, if you are sending food to the king, you are either extremely brave or out of your mind.
