Hanhou

As Chen Jiao expected, the day after Liu Che went to Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill again, and the doctor was ordered to stay in the palace. Several prescriptions were prescribed, and the decoction continued for days, but the Empress Dowager still failed to recover.

Due to the long illness of the Empress Dowager, the Changle Palace closed its doors again and completely cut off news from the outside world.

At the same time, a beauty and two eight sons in the harem continued to behave, violated the palace laws, offended the emperor, were demoted to the palace, and locked up in Yongxiang.The prince and princess born by the three were handed over to Xu Meiren and another newly-appointed lover to raise them.

Not long after Meiren and Bazi were taken into Yongxiang, family members outside the palace were also questioned.

The father of the beauty was an official to Taile, and he was an official in Xuchang.

The two had a good friendship on weekdays, and Xu Chang was quite surprised to see that he was convicted and taken, and he wanted to come forward to intercede.Until Xu Meiren sent the news, explaining what her daughter had done in the palace, Xu Chang broke out in a cold sweat and immediately dismissed the idea.Looking at my former colleagues again, I couldn't help feeling startled.

It is really audacious to form a private relationship with Changle Palace, spread rumors secretly, and frame Jiaofang Palace, Tangyihoufu and Zhaohou.

Where did the confidence come from?

The son of heaven was in its prime in spring and autumn, and there were more than one prince in the palace.

Even though the queen has no legitimate son, she still has the eldest son of the emperor raised under Xu Meiren's lap.So eager for quick success, impatient, even reckless about the consequences, he is simply dizzy, and he is focused on going to his death!

Xu Chang was annoyed and angry, but also a little bit afraid, not only did he not see anyone who came to ask for help, but he even handed over a memorial, and decided to say that he was sick and not go to the court meeting until the matter was over.

Other than him, Taizhu, Dazai and Taibu complained together, clearly wanting to avoid this dispute.

From the chief officer to the subordinate officials, sick leave was requested neatly, so that at the next day, except for Tai Le who was imprisoned, there was only one imperial physician, Ling Cheng, and several Chang Cheng who stared at each other in the face of all official duties. .

Looking at the vacant position, and then at the pile of official documents, the imperial physician was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.

If Junguan and Dushui hadn't hugged their waists to stop him, [-]% would have rushed to Xu's mansion alone, dragged Taichang who was pretending to be sick, and used his fists to reason.

It cannot be said that the imperial physician is reckless, just a little temper tantrum.There are too many leave and too little work.

In the past, the work of six or seven people was all on his shoulders now. He worked overtime until late at night, wasted fuel, and had dark circles under his eyes.After finally sleeping for a while, I was reviewing official documents in my dreams.

Such a life is not human at all!

After persisting for three full days, Xu Chang and others still did not recover from their illnesses and return to work.The imperial physician finally couldn't take it anymore, and simply flicked his sleeves, and the chief student asked for sick leave and refused to work overtime.

Taichang is the head of the Nine Ministers, the Chief Officer and Ling Cheng collectively went on strike, the Chang Cheng worked overtime to the point of tears, he walked and walked, and cried bitterly before leaving home every day, worrying that he would be exhausted until he ascended to heaven, becoming the first case of overwork in a big man Death can be called a wonder in the court.

When Emperor Wu heard about the situation, he turned his eyes to the officials, and he understood clearly what to do about this matter.

The prime minister, Wei Wan, has not been in court for half a month. She is really getting older, and her health is a little bit unbearable. She intends to retire like Wei Shang.Dou Ying originally wanted to go further, but when Liu prostitute came to the house and brought Chen Jiao a message, although she felt regretful, for Dou's sake, she finally gave up the idea.

After Zhi Buyi sprained his ankle, the previously established image collapsed overnight.When he found that he couldn't pull back, he simply let go of himself and looked up to Wei Wan, which became a spectacle in the court.

As Sangong, the two of them have excellent psychological qualities, no matter how piercing the emperor's eyes are, he always pretends not to see them.

Liu Che glanced again, Wei Wei, the servant and Lang Zhongling did not escape, all were "stabbed" once.

The few people said nothing, but they were slandering in their hearts: In the final analysis, this matter originated from within the palace, as long as Changle Palace stopped, all troubles should have been resolved long ago.It's just that the topic is too sensitive, and it involves the Tian family, so no one will get their heads wet and lift the cover in front of Liu Che.

In the end, things can only be mixed.

The only solution is to expedite the disposal of those involved in the case and allow Xu Chang and others to resume work as soon as possible, lest the government offices continue to be empty and difficult to clean up in the end.

Sitting in the hall, Zhao Jia heard the ministers playing, but his mind was a little far away.

Two days ago, Jiaofangdian called Wei Qingmo to see him again.

Wei Qing'e returned to the mansion and told Zhao Jia about the matter, with unavoidable worries in his words.She was not worried about herself, but worried about the reorganization of the caravan. If she was not careful, she would bring trouble to Zhao Jia.

When the matter developed to this point, the queen's meaning was very clear, and she revealed that the emperor had given her permission, and Wei Qing'er could no longer refuse it.

There is not much Zhao Jia can do, but to appease Wei Qing'e, communicate with Wei Yue, act more cautiously, and try not to give others the opportunity to catch pigtails.

When the rumors between the court and China first started, Zhao Jia tensed up.

On the contrary, Wei Yue breathed a sigh of relief and told Zhao Jia that what should come will always come.It is better to have a sign at this time than to make troubles after a long period of dormancy.

"If you do it too hastily and not carefully enough, you will fall into the lower class."

"Don't worry, Ah Duo, the Son of Heaven will make a decision."

The development of the matter was just as Wei Yue expected. It didn't take long for the rumor to appear, and before it had time to boil, the emperor personally poured cold water on it.

Because it involved Jiaofangdian, Zhao Jia had a premonition that the matter might have something to do with the Queen Mother.

What he didn't expect was that Emperor Wu would be so decisive that he would not save face for Changle Palace at all, and he would cut the newly formed net inside and outside the palace to pieces.

Tai Le was imprisoned and handed over to Lieutenant Tingwei for interrogation.

Officials involved in the case were arrested one after another, as many as 23 people.The crimes are different, but without exception, they have a close relationship with Taile, either from the same clan, or relatives by marriage, or close friends.

Lieutenant Ning Cheng was responsible for the arrest, and Ting Wei Zhang Tang participated in the joint trial.

The two have a clear division of labor and cooperate with each other tacitly.

Under their means, all court officials who were imprisoned confessed in less than half a day.The evidence of the crime was solid, the confession was presented in the palace, the three were convicted and beheaded, and the rest were sent to serve as slaves.

The speed of the trial of the case exceeded most people's expectations.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that the internal causes of the matter are complicated, involving the palace, and affecting the meritorious ministers. I don't want to sway people's hearts and make the rumors worse. Naturally, the sooner the better, the better.

As the party involved, Zhao Jia was in the center of the whirlpool, and he never appeared in the memorabilia of Ting Wei and Lieutenant Lieutenant.

Ning Cheng and Zhang Tang reached a tacit agreement, with the same goal, and picked Zhao Jia cleanly.Not only during the interrogation process, but until the conclusion of the case and the conviction of charges, Zhao Jia still had nothing to do with it.

If the prisoner wanted to bite, he would be slapped back several times, and the confession was not recorded at all.

Even Dou Ying was somewhat envious of such treatment.Li Danghu and Cao Shi joked to Zhao Jia and asked him how to get such care.

Zhao Jia propped his forehead, not knowing how to answer.

First there was Zhidu, then there was Ning Cheng, and now Zhang Tang is added, what can he say to be so favored by three big bosses in the world of cruel officials?It's getting darker and darker, it's better to keep silent.

When Zhao Jia was distracted, most of the court meeting was over.

The lord, Du Wei, came out of the class and asked to recruit [-] people to move to Shuofang.Liu Che played it and issued a decree in the hall: "All the recruited people will be given [-] mu of land, three households will be given one cattle, and plow tools will be given."

The doctor unfolded the bamboo slips and recorded the will of the emperor. After the court meeting, he would copy them and send them to the counties by flying horses.

After Ji An returned to his class, Liu Che ordered the eunuchs to proclaim the decree that Wei Shang, the prefect of Yunzhong County, resigned. According to the old regulations of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, he was honored and honored, and he was given land, cars, gold and silk.

If Liu Che had cared about the veteran when he first came to the throne, he would not have been so generous.

Now, Baiyue, Monan and Mobei belong to the Han territory, and the Western Regions are also on the agenda.Coupled with the spoils brought back by the army from the west, and the gold mines that will be acquired sooner or later, the young emperor is rich and full of confidence, and rewards for meritorious ministers must be generous.

Wei Shang was not in the capital, so Wei Jian thanked his father on behalf of his father.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

Yunzhong County is located in an important place, and Wei Shang resigned, so the county must not be left alone.

In order to protect the stability of Bian County, Liu Che made an order to appoint Wei Yue, the cavalry school lieutenant, as the prefect of Yunzhong County, and he left Beijing to take up his post five days later.

Wei Yue came out of the class to thank him, Zhao Jiagang said, "That's true", when he suddenly heard his name again, he immediately stood up and went out to listen to the order.

"Infantry Lieutenant Zhao Jia, wise and resourceful, loyal and resolute, conquered Baiyue in the south, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, minister of the country..."

Hearing this, Zhao Jia's heart moved slightly. When he contacted the imperial decree Wei Yue received before, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows. It shouldn't be what he thought, right?

Just as the word "no" flashed through my mind, reality picked up a sledgehammer and slammed it down, smashing it to pieces.

"The prefect of Shengshuofang County."

After the decree was read out, Zhao Jia didn't react for two seconds, and the hall fell into silence, and a needle could be heard.

For this appointment, most people did not expect it.

Wei Yue's promotion to Yunzhongshou is not too surprising.When Wei Shang handed in the memorial to the old man, the officials had some guesses.But Zhao Jia was the prefect of Shuofang, even Dou Ying and Zhi Buyi were surprised.

The reason is very simple. Before the imperial decree was issued, Liu Che did not discuss with anyone, let alone reveal a word.

The establishment of Zhao Jia has made great achievements. He has conquered south and north for years, and even marched westward all the way to pursue the remnants of the Xiongnu.Moreover, she was born as a pro-military lieutenant, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to be reused.

However, is it really competent to be the prefect of a county and guard one side for the emperor before the age of thirty?

The most important thing is that Shuofang County has just been established not long ago. There are a large number of Hu tribe nomads around it, and it is connected to the commercial roads of the Western Regions. The geographical location is very important.An old man like Li Guangzhi may not dare to say that he is competent. Zhao Jia has never been a county magistrate and lacks experience in governing one side. Can he really live up to the trust of the emperor?

Not to mention what the officials thought, when Zhao Jia received the order, he was a little dazed, his ears were buzzing, and his heart was beating like a drum.

"The minister leads the decree, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Holding the imperial decree in his hands, Zhao Jia's voice unconsciously tightened.

This feeling is far worse than when he was a Marquis.

After all, the matter of sealing the Marquis had already been leaked through the mouth, and he was already prepared in his heart.Being promoted to Shuofang prefect and becoming a frontier official was really not in Zhao Jia's plan, and he never even thought about it.

After Xie En returned to work, Zhao Jia's heart was still beating fast, and her feet seemed to be stepping on clouds.

Even against the Xiongnu, he had never felt like this before in a bitter battle.

His gaze wandered subconsciously, and he met Wei Yue unexpectedly, immersed in those dark eyes, Zhao Jiacai gradually regained his composure, and his emotions began to stabilize.

In any case, since the imperial decree has been accepted and the matter has become a foregone conclusion, it is necessary to shoulder the responsibility.

Saying defeat without a fight is a taboo for military strategists.

Worrying about not being able to do it before doing it is also not in line with his temperament.

Things cannot be changed, so you might as well give it a try and see if he, a prefect with no experience in politics, can guard one side, deter his neighbors, make contributions, and benefit future generations!
