Funing Hall

The day before he left for Luoyang, and also the day before the officials took a ten-day break, Zhao Cong informed everyone about Du Yu's treatment.

He dismissed Du Yu as Zuo Servant and servant servant.

This was the first chancellor to be dismissed after Zhao Cong took office. The people standing in the hall became serious for no reason, and no one dared to make a sound easily.Du Yu's reputation was ruined like that, and he should be removed from the prime minister's name.They have already guessed that what they care about is not this, what they care about is His Majesty's next words!

They wanted to know where His Majesty wanted Du Yu to be placed.

Zheng Qiao was so nervous and excited that his lips were drawn into a line.

They lowered their heads, and Zhao Cong couldn't see them. He continued relaxedly: "Although Du Qing's words and deeds are inappropriate, it is because he has made many years of credit and there is no conclusive evidence. I will appoint him as the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. The original Taiyuan The magistrate returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and entered the Ministry of Ministers."

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that His Majesty had not completely given up on Du Yu, and knew in their hearts how to continue dealing with Du Yu.After returning, he will definitely give gifts to the Du Mansion.

The officials of the fourth and fifth ranks heard this, and they knew it in their hearts, so they were no longer curious.

But some officials from the second and third ranks are still nervous. The magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture is not qualified to be a left servant when he enters Shangshu Province, and at most he can go to the sixth department to be a servant.

Du Yu, the prime minister's son, who is he going to give to? !

Everyone of the second and third rank officials felt that they had hope, especially Zheng Qiao, whose hands were tucked into his sleeves, already stiff.

But Zhao Cong said something else, he knew what everyone wanted to hear, finally he finished talking about other things, and then he said slowly: "As for the position of Zuo Servant and servant, I have already chosen someone."

There was a complete silence down below, even the sound of a real needle falling could be heard.

When the first emperor was here, the position of prime minister must be discussed with officials.But today's sage, seemingly soft, is actually tough, and no one dares to refute.

Zhao Cong didn't hold back anymore: "Immediately summon Huang Shu, the magistrate of Yizhou on South Guangxi Road, to Beijing."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and his face quickly turned red, but he lowered his head so no one could see him.

Zhao Cong continued: "Huang Shu was originally a servant of the family. He has been an official in the local area for many years, and his political achievements are obvious to all. No matter his age, seniority, talent and character, he is the most suitable."

Now that His Majesty has made a decision, the officials below all responded "yes". Those who thought they had hope were not overly disappointed, after all, they were indeed no match for Huang Shu.

Zhao Cong smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Throwing a small stone in the middle can cause long-lasting ripples.

Zhao Cong's treatment of Du Yu and the new appointment of Huang Shu as Prime Minister are like stones falling from the sky, and the water is full of splashes. Everyone has an idea.

But these have nothing to do with Zhao Cong, he is the emperor and an official, so he can't take everyone's thoughts into account.

In Weijun Prince's Mansion, the second steward rushed into the study in a hurry: "My lord!"

Zhao Congde turned around in shock, and angrily scolded: "You bastard! What are you in a hurry for?"

"My son! It's not good!"

"What happened?"

"Your Majesty asked Du Yu to go to Taiyuan Mansion to be the magistrate!"

"Isn't Du Yu greedy for money and killing people? Why don't you dismiss him and rush back to your hometown?! Zhao Cong will be the emperor like this?" Zhao Congde was puzzled.

"The villain doesn't know!" The second housekeeper was also anxious, "My son, this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Du Yu is going to be the magistrate of Taiyuan Mansion! Our uncle was stationed there, and the power was already divided. Now this……"

Zhao Congde's eyeballs rolled: "Mo Mo, I'm writing a letter!"

"Yes yes yes!" The second steward rubbed the ink actively, and said, "Your Majesty is indeed going to Luoyang tomorrow, please remember to tell uncle again."

Zhao Congde said impatiently, "I know it myself!"

"My son, with uncle here, the little one will feel more at ease."

"Hmph, Jiang Wei is capable enough, even if ten Du Yu go, there is nothing to be afraid of, and I will keep him in good order! Make Zhao Cong regret it in every possible way!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Congde was proud of this place. Once Zheng Qiao returned to the mansion, he went to the study, turned around and said kindly to his housekeeper, "Go out first."

"Yes." The housekeeper waited for him outside the palace, and then accompanied him back. He didn't have time to inquire with others along the way, and he still didn't know what happened in the palace.He only felt that his husband was upset, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and went out. He just closed the door when he heard a loud bang behind it.

He was startled.

Zheng Qiao hates it.

He is five years older than Du Yu, he was already the Minister of Zhongshu during the first emperor's time, and after a few more years, he will be able to become the prime minister.It's no problem that the first emperor went, he followed Du Yu to support Queen Mother Sun.Du Yu supported it, and he had a sense of reform, but he didn't. He only wanted to be the prime minister, and he just made some superficial efforts.

The queen mother also made him prime minister.

Unexpectedly, this slaughter was only six years old, and he was driven out again.In fact, it would be fine if His Majesty dismissed him as an official directly, or let him go outside as a magistrate, just like Huang Shu did back then.But His Majesty let him continue to be the secretary's servant!But at the same time when he returned to Zhongshu's assistant, Du Yu was still sitting safely in the position of prime minister.

How is he not angry? !

He hated for five years, climbed up to people and money, and finally got this opportunity, which was the closest he was to his original seat.

But even so, His Majesty would rather call Huang Shu back from afar than let him return to his original position!

He hates!

No matter how much he hated, he would not dare to confront the imperial power. He hated Du Yu, and even more hated Huang Shu.He rested his hands on the table, his eyes turning red.

At this moment, his butler outside said: "Master, someone wants to see you."

He looked back: "Who?"

"Those three people."

"Call them in."

"Yes."

Only then did Zheng Qiao heave a sigh of relief. Those people still wished to come, apparently still counting on him.

He straightened his back again.

Zhao Cong naturally knew that these two appointments would definitely make people in the court panic.He has been in power for a long time, has long been used to it, and takes it seriously.Because he was going to Luoyang tomorrow, he had to deal with some things before leaving.

He first ordered Du Yu to be called here.

Du Yu was also a little confused. He originally thought that His Majesty was going to ruthlessly peel off his skin, but it turned out to be like this.

The more he didn't understand His Majesty, the more he didn't understand, the more he was afraid, and when he entered the Chongzheng Hall, he knelt down to thank His Majesty honestly.

Zhao Cong still didn't ask him to get up, but asked directly: "Does Du Qing know the purpose of sending you to Taiyuan Mansion?"

Du Yu's head, after thinking about it, can always figure it out.

Du Yu looked up at him, Zhao Cong smiled slowly, obviously not disgust.

Du Yu's heart was excited, and his mind was running rapidly. Who is there in Taiyuan Mansion?What has His Majesty done in Taiyuan Mansion since he was in charge?

In the years when the little eleventh prince of the county palace disappeared, His Majesty hated the Weijun palace, and even the Jiang family, the mother's family of the eldest concubine, hated it.The Jiang family is also a century-old family. Everyone knows what the Zhao family dynasty was like a hundred years ago.The Zhao family dynasty was brought down together by the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Jiang family. Only one daughter of the Zhao family was a noble concubine of the former dynasty, and the Zhao family was even a nobleman of the former dynasty, so they were successfully supported and ascended to the throne.

In the past hundred years, the Sun family has produced two queens, and the Jiang family has been stationed in Taiyuan.

Taiyuan Mansion is an important location, and the Jiang family is also the only one with the right to garrison. He thought that His Majesty had sent someone to divide Jiang Wei's power a few years ago, and even more thought of the Jiang family's silence in the past few years.

He thought to himself, so His Majesty had this in mind.

He has gone through two dynasties, he has dealt with the former emperor, the empress dowager and the current sage.The first two trust the Jiang family very much, but this one——

He looked up again at His Majesty.

Zhao Cong still smiled at Du Yu.

Except for Zhao Zongning and Zhao Shiqi, he doesn't trust anyone.

What should be grasped in his hands, he must firmly grasp in his hands.

Du Yu kowtowed and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I understand."

"Du Qing is indeed a smart person. I believe in you and you are capable, so I sent you there."

This is really a stick followed by a spoonful of sugar. When he thought he was going to be dismissed, he was fooled by a magistrate.Just when I was about to rejoice, I dropped another thunder.Once again trembling, the officials said it was "trust".

Du Yu smiled wryly to himself, if it was said that His Majesty set up a trick to drag him into the water, he would believe it.But he also knew, how could His Majesty do such a thing?He was convinced at this time, and promised: "Your Majesty, I will leave for Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow. I will definitely get along well with Mr. Jiang."

Zhao Cong nodded: "Don't be afraid of trouble if you have something to do, just send the letter to me."

This is to let him know everything and keep an eye on Jiang Wei, Du Yu replied: "Yes!"

Only then did Zhao Cong smile and talk to Du Yu a few more times, and let him go back.

Du Yu went out and met Zhao Shiqi who came in.

He never cared about those falsehoods, not to mention that he is no longer the prime minister, this is the person on the top of His Majesty's heart, it doesn't matter if he fawns over him, he immediately saluted: "I have met the Eleventh Lord."

"Lord Du, you don't need to be too polite." Zhao Shiqi, still wearing the tender green sixth-rank official uniform, said to him, "It is said that Master Du is going to take up the post in Taiyuan Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"Taiyuan Mansion is a good place. Master Du, you should keep your eyes open and take a closer look."

Du Yu raised his head to look at him, and Zhao Shiqi had a half-smile.

Du Yu felt particularly uncomfortable, this gentleman is well-dressed, he is only 16 years old, he is only a sixth-rank official, and he is a useless courtier, look at his demeanor.The Zhao family deserves to be the emperor, one or two are so powerful.He could see how the Empress Dowager Sun acted at the beginning, and it took many days to discuss with others to appoint a magistrate.Not to mention the Jiang family, guarding a Taiyuan mansion, even if they really have the idea of ​​rebellion, what can they do? 100 years have passed, and their family has never dared to rebel.

You couldn't rob the Zhao family a hundred years ago, but you can still rob it now?

Ask him to say that His Majesty is too worried.

He shook his head secretly, and bowed his hands to Zhao Shiqi: "I must pay more attention to it."

Only then did Zhao Shiqi laugh: "Congratulations to Mr. Du, please go slowly, Mr. Du."

Du Yu was also dazzled by his smile, and he had the same thought in his heart as Li Zhicheng, the governor of Chuzhou at that time, that there was a girl of the right age in his family, so he could marry this person.Without waiting for him to think about it, Zhao Shiqi had already entered the Chongzheng Hall, and the young eunuchs and palace maids following behind him saluted him and followed suit.

Du Yu came to his senses, this Eleventh Prince lives in Funing Palace, and the maids and eunuchs of Funing Palace follow him. He still wants to marry his daughter to him?He was also curious, what kind of marriage would His Majesty give him for such a nephew?

He thought he was funny, and walked down the steps.

"His Majesty."

Zhao Cong looked up, and saw Zhao Shiqi coming from outside with the backlight, and he was dressed in official uniform again, very handsome.Zhao Cong knew that he had to restrain himself, after all, Zhao Shiqi had no longer been ambiguous with him these days, but he still couldn't help but look at Zhao Shiqi a few more times.

Zhao Shiqi walked up to him, saluted solemnly, and said with a smile, "Greetings to Your Majesty."

This made Zhao Cong laugh, he put down the hand rubbing his forehead, patted his side, "Sit."

"Why is Your Majesty having a headache?" Zhao Shiqi walked up to him and sat down, and rubbed his forehead and temples for him, "I heard that Your Majesty sent Du Yu to Taiyuan, and called Huang Shu back to be prime minister."

The strength in Zhao Shiqi's hand was just right, which made Zhao Cong very comfortable. He closed his eyes and said, "Five years ago, I wanted Huang Shu to be the prime minister. He didn't want to come back."

"When I was young, His Majesty showed me his notes. He was indeed a weirdo, but he was indeed capable. He was allowed to stay in the local area for five years to benefit the people. At this time, he should come back to benefit more people. "Huang Shu was also his right-hand man in the past, and he also knew Huang Shu's ability.

"This time, he should have nothing to say and come back honestly." Zhao Cong has always respected those who are really useful.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Fan Shiwu?"

"Ok?"

"He has a very good personal relationship with Huang Shu. If His Majesty sends an appointment directly to Yizhou, Huang Shu and other weird people may still not want to come back. It will take time to come back and forth. Your Majesty simply sends Fan Shiwu to persuade him to come back. Except In addition, His Majesty has to send several guards to go with him. One is to prevent Huang Shu from coming back, so that the guards can tie him back. Second, Your Majesty, although the person who framed Du Yu is not yet known, but What they are aiming for is the position of powerful minister. Huang Shu, the new prime minister, must be eye-catching. Yizhou is a long way from Kaifeng Mansion. There are many mountains in Yizhou, and there are many bandits. The official road is not peaceful. Death Take people very lightly."

Zhao Cong opened his eyes and looked at him: "How do you know Yizhou is like this?"

Zhao Shiqi didn't panic: "Your Majesty, I have read Huang Shu's notes, and there are many other than "Shu Wen", I have read them all. It is because of Your Majesty that I know Huang Shu, and I can know these. "

Zhao Cong believed it, nodded, and said with emotion: "You have thought thoroughly, I really haven't thought of it yet." He immediately wanted to pass on orders.

"Your Majesty, you want me to send someone to go with Fan Shiwu."

Zhao Cong laughed: "There are a lot of guards in the palace."

Zhao Shiqi also laughed, because he was too anxious.He said softly: "Your Majesty, just close your eyes, I will rub it for you, it won't hurt anymore."

There seemed to be persuasion in the voice, Zhao Cong looked up at him funny, and was about to say, "Are you treating me like a child?", but bumped into two spring waters that were too gentle, those were Zhao Shiqi's eyes.

Zhao Cong was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes again.

Just when he said that Zhao Shiqi was no longer ambiguous these days, his frightening eyes came.

There was a soft smile on the corner of Zhao Shiqi's mouth, he reached out and pulled Zhao Cong's head gently but firmly onto his shoulder, continued to massage him, and said softly, "Your Majesty, you rest."

Zhao Cong retracted his hands into his sleeves, his palms were sweating from nervousness.

He is like this, as if he is being embraced by Zhao Shiqi, but he doesn't know what to do!He dared not even move.

He obviously wanted to talk to Xiao Shiyi about Jiang Wei, about Taiyuan, and more about the affairs of the court.

But his mind was blank.

For the first time, he felt that Zhao Shiqi was a little scary.

When he first realized that Zhao Shiqi was pretending to lie to him, he didn't feel terrible. He always thought that he was calm enough, even if he fell in love with someone who shouldn't be loved, even though this person might also be interested in him, or even have an affair with him.

Although he didn't know how to deal with it, he was relieved enough.Just like his world, he thought everything was in his hands and he could handle it properly.

But Zhao Shiqi's words and actions suddenly made him a little flustered.

It seems that there are some things that he can't control himself.

It seems that love is not just love.

He also doesn't know how far love can go.

What should he do if one day his love extends to the point that he can no longer take it back.

The author has something to say: Eleven Lang: Give me a hug~

Your Majesty: Scared to death>_<[Pretending to be calm]
