Wei Zhi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and stepped back respectfully.

Without Bai Shan and Zhou Man, it is natural to use other methods to expose this matter, but it will be much less tactful.

The emperor didn't take this matter very seriously, although it was a pity that there was no turning point and he had to find another way, but as he said, he couldn't issue an order to force people to go to Beijing, could he?

People can also refuse the order, okay?

The emperor was not in a good mood and went back to the harem with his hands behind his back. The empress came back from the empress dowager and took off his robe in person. After the palace servants served tea, they waved for him to leave.

Only then did the queen say: "The queen mother is crying."

The emperor frowned and asked, "What's the matter? But you're not feeling well?"

The queen sighed and said, "The imperial doctor said it was a stagnation in the heart."

She glanced at the emperor, paused, and said: "The queen mother misses the king of Yizhou. For the past two days, she has been talking about the difficult life of the prince in Yizhou. She has a lot of children, and a part of the partial fief has been cut off. I want to give some Zhuangzi under my name to the prince..."

Seeing that the emperor's complexion was not good, the queen said, "Your Majesty, let the empress worry about the livelihood of the king of Yizhou. What do the people in the ruling and opposition circles and the people of the world think of you as an elder brother?"

The emperor got up with a livid face and walked around twice, and asked, "When will the queen mother invite the king of Yizhou to Beijing to celebrate his birthday?"

"The queen mother still wants to recruit people to Beijing this month. Next month is the ghost month. The king of Yizhou will not be able to walk on the road with his children. It will be too late to enter Beijing again in August."

The emperor was amused, "Isn't the mother's birthday in September?"

"The queen mother said that since she is going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it is better to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together."

"Then why only the king of Yizhou was recruited, and the king of Hejian and the others were also recruited into the palace."

The empress knew that what he said was angry, and didn't take it to heart, and asked lightly: "Because Wei Zhi warned me, so now the empress mother doesn't often speak in the hall, she just calls the concubine away, and hinted for a few days. "

The emperor thought that the empress would get up early to go to the empress dowager's place for morning settling these days, and would be unconscious in the evening, how many days had he not had dinner with her?

The emperor pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I will tell all my ministers tomorrow that the king of Yizhou will be invited to Beijing in late June."

"His Majesty……"

The emperor pressed his hands, "I have my own thoughts."

The emperor pondered, at first he didn't intend to let Bai Shan and the others enter the capital, but now seeing that the Queen Mother is paying more and more attention to the King of Yizhou, if he sues, the matter may not be kept secret, but if he sues, no one can compare with Bai Shan and Zhou Man , and love and affection?

The emperor couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of what he said to Wei Zhi just now, "That's all", he was afraid that he would be ordered to be capricious and not accept promises tomorrow.

Even so, at the small court meeting the next day, the emperor and his ministers recalled the heroes since the founding of the country, some died in battle, and some died in office because of various official duties.

Of course, there are not many such people. In comparison, there are more generals who died in battle.

Seeing the rare sentimentality of the emperor, the ministers also recalled it, so they mentioned it more and more. Wei Zhi heard the emperor mention Bai Qi's name, saying that he was also a hero, and he was also loyal to the country back then...

Wei Zhi and Old Master Tang twitched their eyebrows and raised their heads slightly to look at the emperor, who had already mentioned a name.

The other ministers didn't care. They and the emperor mentioned a total of twenty people just now, and there were one or two of them that they didn't know very well.

Anyway, it's Yi Yi's dead hero, so it's right for everyone to sigh with regret.

The emperor changed the subject while he was talking, and asked, "I don't know if these heroes will be loyal to the country now?"

He said: "Their fathers have meritorious deeds, the country can't let them chill, they should also inherit the legacy of their fathers, and serve the country and the people."

"Your Majesty said so."

So everyone recalled that this general used to be Minister A's subordinate, and he remembered that his eldest son was serving in the army now; he also remembered this hero, his son had returned to his hometown long ago, he should be a rich man...

At the end of the chat, the emperor simply waved his hand, "The court is just employing people. These children have such parents, so they can't waste their talents. Wei Qing, you go back and draw up an imperial edict to recruit children of the right age after these heroes to enter the country." Zi learns to study, trains one or two, and will continue to serve the country in the future."

Wei Zhi: ...It's okay to say "that's all"?

But he thought about it, this method is better than recruiting Bai Shan Zhouman into Beijing alone. After twenty or so people entered at once, who would pay attention to Bai Shan?

Wei Zhi complied.

The ministers didn't expect such a turning point. After thinking for a long time, they still couldn't understand why the emperor flew out of the sky, so they could only cautiously agree.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the emperor said, "This year, the Empress Dowager Qianqiu, the King of Yizhou will come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday. I intend to invite him to come to Beijing in late June."

The ministers immediately expressed their opposition when they heard it, and they were very fierce. They felt that the emperor's proposal just now was to divert their attention, and they all said: "The king of Yizhou is a vassal king, how can he leave the fief for too long? The queen mother's birthday in September, It’s time to enter Beijing again in early September.”

The emperor said blankly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time."

"Then enter Beijing in late August..."

Anyway, he couldn't enter Beijing so early, otherwise he would serve the Empress Dowager every day and whisper in the emperor's ear, who knows what he's going to do?

The imperial court was not rich in the first place. Every time the king of Yizhou went to Beijing empty-handed, he left with a full load. If you took out your own private treasury, even if they had any objections, it would be hard to say, but you took out your own private treasury It would be too much to dig out the national treasury.

Therefore, all the ministers expressed their opposition, especially Liu Hui, the Minister of the Household Department, especially the king of Yizhou, so he expressed fierce opposition.

The emperor didn't seem very persistent either. Seeing everyone's objection, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's discuss this matter later."

One sentence choked the ministers who planned to fight for a long time.

After discussing political affairs, the emperor left Mr. Tang and Wei Zhi together for a heart-to-heart talk.

"Wei Qing, you should worry too much about Guozixue."

Wei Zhi had been thinking about this just now, and asked, "Your Majesty, are all the meritorious officials enrolling in Guozixue, or are they divided into Taixue, Simenxue and other schools below?"

He asked again, "How many descendants of a hero can enroll? One, or two?"

The emperor thought for a while and asked, "What does Wei Qing think?"

Wei knew: "I think the two are the most suitable, and they will take care of each other after entering the school, but which school to enter the Guozijian should be divided by examination. Those who are good at it enter arithmetic, calligraphy and law."

The emperor thought for a while and nodded, "Just as Ai Qing said, ahem, you go to Kong Qing to make plans, and I will leave this matter to you."
