A Timely Wife

Li Ruosong didn't have time to communicate with Xiong Ruoshan about this matter before, it was also a thought that flashed in his mind, he caught it, thinking that the opportunity was rare, so he brought it up, Xiong Ruoshan didn't react at first, his brain quickly After thinking about it, I figured out some flavors. Now the most noisy people in the court are those people in their 60s and [-]s. They rely on the old to sell the old, but if they have a little reason, they will not give up an inch and fight in the court. It can turn the world upside down, but if they don't make sense, they will look like I am so old and you care about me. It makes people grit their teeth with hatred but there is nothing they can do. After all, if you really want to talk about their hands Everyone here has real skills, and you can't handle government affairs without this group of people. The premise is that their minds can be put on government affairs instead of doing things with selfishness.

Limiting an age for them to go home to recuperate has both advantages and disadvantages, but in general, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. The most intuitive point is not to give these people the opportunity to continue working hard. Continue to do it, if you can't do it, you should give up your position and let those who can do it do it. If you do a good job and perform well, the court can appropriately postpone the time for the other party to go home to recuperate, which is equivalent to hanging over the head of these people A knife, Xiong Ruoshan thinks this can be enforced.

After experiencing what happened to Xiong Ruofeng, Xiong Ruoshan's attitude towards the courtiers has also undergone subtle changes. In the past, Xiong Ruoshan would tolerate some things a little bit, but after Xiong Ruofeng's death, Xiong Ruoshan was not so easy to talk to. Being black and white like Xiong Ruofeng has begun to make the courtiers feel a little difficult to deal with, but compared to Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong, Xiong Ruoshan can only be said to be a piece of cake, not enough for their appetite.

Li Ruosong changed his previous style of only listening and not talking very occasionally. As long as he was in charge of the matter, his words were very sharp, and he often made the courtiers speechless. He didn't know how to respond. The servant was even told by Li Ruosong that he didn't dare to go to the court, and his legs went limp when he saw Li Ruosong.

And Chengdong, I don’t know what happened to this couple. Chengdong, who has never been to court before, will attend every court meeting. The proposal they want to talk about restricting Shuang'er and girls from occupying the school, if Chengdong is not there, they can still talk about it, but Chengdong is standing there, no one dares to mention this, after all, Chengdong It's not easy to provoke, he became sharp, even Li Ruosong wanted to shut up.

What makes these courtiers even more troublesome is that the tacit understanding and trust between Xiong Ruoshan and Li Ruosong are unimaginable to others, and there is no way to separate them. The three of them match very well, and they speak alone No matter what they say is right or not, the other two will not interrupt or object. They will communicate with each other in private if there is any matter or idea, and the three of them are a united front no matter how hard they are on the surface. of.

The three of them were closely united, just like hedgehogs, so that the courtiers didn't know how to deal with it, just like now, the other two people knew that they hadn't communicated with Li Ruosong's matter just by looking at their expressions, but the two People just shut up and don't speak, don't say anything, don't disagree or agree, just wait to see how they will react. Originally, when Chengdong moved the corner of his mouth slightly, they thought Chengdong would say something, but it turned out Cheng Dong just smiled, and then kept silent, and Xiong Ruoshan made them not know what to say, because Xiong Ruoshan only said one sentence, he said: "Master Li went back and summoned the people in the cabinet to draw up a note for you." Me, I'll take a look and talk."

In fact, as soon as Xiong Ruoshan's words came out, it meant that he had agreed, but the formal path still needed to be followed, so he asked the cabinet to draw up a note for him to read. To put it bluntly, the meaning of this sentence is Tell Li Ruosong that you have to find a way to settle those ministers yourself. You brought up this matter, and you have to be responsible to the end. It can be implemented, provided that these people are willing.

Li Ruosong understood Xiong Ruoshan's meaning very well, so he bowed and said: "I will call the cabinet ministers to discuss this matter later, and come up with a charter as soon as possible. The war in the north is about to end. I don't know if the emperor has any ideas about moving the capital. ?”

Moving the capital, this is what Xiong Ruoshan and Xiong Ruofeng dreamed about. They fled from the north to the south. The Chu River was like a moat in the eyes of the two of them more than ten years ago. Looking north from here, I always think that one day I will be able to fight back in a smooth manner, and I will be able to regain the glory of my ancestors back then. It seems that it was also from that time that he and Xiong Ruofeng had a lot of conversations. Before that, it was just a face-to-face , but later it was true that when he had a younger brother, no matter who their biological mother was, they were all descendants of the Xiong family, and they all had the same goal, and they had something that they could never give up. On the road to revitalize Dachu, he finally has someone who can accompany him. Unexpectedly, in the end, he is still the only one left on this road. Fortunately, he has a few family members who are wholeheartedly planning for him, otherwise, Xiong Ruoshan didn't know how long he could hold on, and if he could hold on.

Rather than saying that Xiong Ruofeng's death intensified the conflict between the Emperor of Southern Chu and his ministers, it would be better to say that Xiong Ruofeng's death opened up a pustule that had been buried deep in the ground. A pustule that would burst sooner or later, moving the capital was a matter for Xiong Ruoshan. It's an opportunity, but also a threat. If they don't do well in this matter, none of them will be able to bear the consequences.

Xiong Ruoshan pondered for a while, and did not answer Li Ruosong's words, but asked Chengdong: "Master Cheng, what do you think about this matter?"

Chengdong thought for a while, and said: "Moving is something that must be done. Our roots are in the north. We used to have no ability, so we could only watch helplessly. Now that we have taken it back, we should go back and wait for it." Being in the south is not a problem. Those who didn’t know thought we were scared of being beaten by Dahe, so we dared to hide in the south and not go out. Southern Chu is only temporary, and Dachu is the ultimate goal.

However, moving the capital is not a small matter. The territory of the south is not small now, and the north and south are separated by the Chu River. If the operation is not good, the south that has finally stabilized may become chaotic again. Therefore, some people must go to the north. , the other part of the people have to stay in the south. Chu Jingcheng has always been the place where our great Chu rises. , I think this matter should be handed over to the cabinet to see how to do it, what to do first and then what to do. However, no matter which one comes first, the reconstruction of Chujing City must be put on the agenda. The previous palace has been destroyed. The fire burned, we went to see it, and there were only some stone piles left. In my opinion, don’t move it, and don’t tidy up that place, just let it stay there. Every generation of Dachu people must go there to have a look. Go there for a walk, remember this period of history, remember this shame, the shame of being almost wiped out by a nomad.

Officials especially have to go, not only to go, but also to go often, where to go, think about what you should do and what you should not do, don't think that you can do something with your status, and don't think that you are already in the world First, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you have no strength, no matter how status you have, no matter how much money you have, no matter how capable you are, you will not be able to escape death.

As for the new imperial palace, let the engineering team go to see if it is necessary to build it. I suggest that it can be repaired, but it should not be too luxurious. The imperial palace will be a symbol at best in the future. The center of power will still be here in the political building. , for the new Great Chu, it is impossible to rely on the emperor alone to make the Great Chu a success, and it is impossible to get the people to buy it just by relying on the ministers, so the political building is still very necessary, of course, What I said just now are my own thoughts, and do not represent the meaning of others. I hope that some people will not spread the word out of context again, causing the common people to start to panic without knowing it. If such a thing happens again, don’t Blame me for being rude. "

After Chengdong finished speaking, he glanced at the servant of the Ministry of Rites. The servant of the Ministry of Rites flashed his eyes, and took two steps back to avoid Chengdong's sight. Of course he knew that Chengdong was not aimless, and some things were said from his mouth before. Chengdong should be annoyed when Xiong Ruofeng came out. Not long after Xiong Ruofeng was buried, Chengdong proposed that the Li family and the Cheng family should observe filial piety for Xiong Ruofeng for a year. This matter was said after the meeting, or was it Chengdong and Li Ruosong? What he said in private, was heard by the Minister of Rites, and when he turned around, some remarks came out, saying that all the people in Nanchu had to observe filial piety for Xiong Ruofeng, and they couldn't get married or funerals. After all, weddings and funerals are not allowed this year, so I don't know how many things will be delayed.

Later, it was Xiong Ruoshan who spoke and issued an imperial decree to settle the matter. The culprit was soon found out, but the Minister of Rites and Xiong Ruofeng made several turns so that he could get acquainted with each other. At the moment when Xiong Ruofeng was just buried, Xiong Ruoshan didn't want to make things too serious, so he didn't take action to punish him, otherwise, he would have been unable to sit firmly in this position.

Chengdong didn't have Xiong Ruoshan's concerns, he didn't care who you were or what kind of relative you were, not to mention that you were just the son-in-law of some kind of aunt Xiong Ruofeng, you were his uncle, and you were not as important as a passerby in front of Chengdong. This time, Cheng Dong made up his mind to deal with these gossips.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites only felt that the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He had a very bad premonition, and he always felt that Cheng Dong's eyes staring at him were not kind.
