The people of Chang'an, who had just experienced the war, were like frightened birds. When they heard the news, they immediately panicked. The hearts of the people who had been calmed down a little, were like water broken by stones, with ripples.

Not only the common people, even in the early court, some people mentioned this matter and asked the new king if he should send an envoy to ask King Xing.

At this time, the new king had just ascended the throne, and because the world was still uncertain, even the enthronement ceremony was kept simple. Some officials specially prepared a generous gift in order to please He Rong, but he was reprimanded by He Rong, and brought the gift away again in disgrace. go back.

Many people are waiting to see the character of the new monarch. After this incident, those who originally planned to sing praises also retreated a lot.

After the first emperor went south, except for his nephew Fan Zhao who insisted on staying, the rest of the Fan clan in Beijing were sent by Fan Yi to follow the emperor. As a result, Li Kuan's team also fell into the hands of Li Kuan. Fan Zhao, who was in Beijing, survived, and was reused by the new emperor because of his support for King An's enthronement in front of Empress Pei. , one of the important ministers.

The Fan family of Chenliu has a profound background, so it's not that they can't afford generous gifts, but after the war, most of the family wealth was taken to the south. Fan Yi originally planned to die for the whole festival, so naturally he won't keep too many belongings around him, let alone treasures , so it is impossible for Fan Zhao to smash the ceremony like others and Bo Jun smiled.

He sat in the Xuanzheng Hall, listening to other people's performances, and secretly rejoiced that his family could not produce expensive gifts, and instead avoided being reprimanded. , others will regard him as a courtier.Fan Zhao wholeheartedly wanted to follow the path of his uncle's direct minister, so of course he didn't want to be crowned with such a reputation.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhao couldn't help but raise his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the upper middle without a trace.

There sat the new king.

He Rong was concentrating on listening to the officials of the Ministry of Industry report on the repair and reinforcement of the Chang'an city wall. His face was a little thin, but he was full of energy. He didn't often express his opinions, and more often he liked to listen to the officials, but everyone didn't dare to regard him as the first emperor. figure.

Fan Zhao recalled that his uncle had privately commented on the imperial prince with him before he was alive.

The prince took advantage of the eldest son, behaved in a well-regulated manner, most like the late emperor.

King Ji is more than brave, but not smart enough. He can be a famous general in charge, but he can't command the three armies.

King An looks dull, but in fact there are hills and valleys inside. He employs people and does things openly, eclecticly. He is not like the first emperor, but he is not like his ancestor, Emperor Wende.

King Xing is courageous and resourceful, without those elder brothers in front of him, he would still be able to aspire to the great position.

It's a pity that King An and Zhuyu are in front, even if there is no crown prince and King Ji, and King Xing wants to fight, it will be unfair, unless the world is in chaos, and the heroes are competing for the throne, and each family speaks based on its strength.

But now, King Xing went south to fight Li Kuan, and his troops could almost compete with Chang'an. If he had a different intention, he didn't need to cooperate with Li Kuan at all. Sitting on the fisherman's profit...

It's no wonder that Fan Zhao is worried. Since ancient times, power has been alluring. Who wouldn't want to climb to the top of the sky?Remember when King Qi even killed his own father for the sake of the throne, let alone brothers?

People's hearts are upward, and human nature is downward. They have never been able to stand the test. Therefore, throughout the ages, emperors before and after ascending to the throne are often different.

Fan Zhao couldn't help touching the memorial in his sleeve, it was written in advance last night, and asked the emperor to transfer King Xing back, and Xiao Chong went south to deal with Li Kuan.

Hesitating in his heart, he hasn't decided whether to submit it or not.

He also knew that it would not be appropriate to change before the battle, but it was better than reacting after King Xing made a change. It was the job of a courtier to plan ahead and prevent problems before they happen.

The matter with the Ministry of Industry has come to an end, He Rong nodded and looked around everyone: "Do you have anything to add?"

There are not many people in Xiaochao, including himself, there are only a dozen or so people. Before the Chang'an Rebellion, most of the left and right ministers and the six chief ministers followed the emperor. Now many people are still pinched in Li Kuan's hands, let alone When I came back, I don’t even know if my life will be saved. Many people present, except for Xue Tan and Tan Jin, were not of high rank before. Now it is the time for employing people, and many people have been promoted exceptionally, although He Rong didn’t let them. Zi ascended to six high positions, but everyone also surpassed two or three levels.

The officials who were worried that they would die at the hands of the Turks suddenly became the hottest upstarts. I don't know if the important officials who are still in Li Kuan's hands will beat their chests and feel regret after knowing it?

No one said anything, the renovation of Chang'an City came to an end, Fan Zhao finally made up his mind, stood up and took a few steps forward, walked to the center, and presented the memorial: "I have this memorial."

Ma Hong, the servant, came over, took away his playbook, and presented it to the new king.

Many people who had been officials in the Wende Dynasty were surprised when they saw this experienced eunuch, but after being surprised, they secretly admired this person's luck.

When Emperor Wende was there, Ma Hong served in front of the emperor. Later, when Emperor Wende passed away, Emperor Jiayou didn't like to use him, so he went to guard the mausoleum of the first emperor. After the three-year period expired Returning to the palace, the former high-ranking chief executive can only stay silently in the palace, being an unknown person.

But now that the new emperor ascended the throne, this Ma Hong changed suddenly and became the emperor's close minister again. People were surprised and couldn't help admiring his wrist secretly. in time.

Fan Zhao didn't know what many people were thinking, so he gave a brief summary of the contents of the memorial.

The room was silent for a while.

The rumors of King Xing and Li Kuan's private exchange became more and more intense, and some people stabbed the emperor openly and secretly, but it was the first time that Fan Zhao directly proposed to change generals before the battle.

He Rong was noncommittal, but asked everyone: "What do you think of Fan Qing's words?"

Seeing that the emperor was neither angry nor expressing his opinion, everyone became active.

Someone said: "Chasing generals before the battle may not be conducive to the morale of the army, but I think that an imperial envoy can be sent there, firstly to comfort the soldiers in the name of rewards, and secondly, to stay in the army so as to convey His Majesty's will at any time."

In short, it is to send a supervisor to monitor King Xing.But this man's tongue is brilliant, but he said it like a great favor to King Xing.

He Rong couldn't help but glanced at the other party. He recognized this person. His surname was Cai Mingyin. He used to work in the Ministry of Industry under Ji Ling. He had just been promoted to be a servant not long ago.

Such eloquence, it's a pity to stay in the Ministry of Industry, but he can go on an envoy abroad and bring back some benefits to the court.

He thought absently, what the other party said later, he didn't listen to it at all, until Cai Yin said it. After a while, He Rong felt that the surroundings were a little strangely quiet, looked up and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and then returned Overwhelmed, he hummed: "Cai Qing's suggestion is good, we will discuss it later."

Hearing what Cai Yin said, it seemed that the emperor was not very interested in adopting it, and said unswervingly: "Your Majesty, the war opportunity is fleeting, and it will take time to set off from Chang'an. This matter should be done sooner rather than later!"

He Rong still didn't make a clear statement, he just said that he knew it, and put the matter on hold for now.

But because of his ambiguous "I know", everyone heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and felt that His Majesty did have the intention to suppress King Xing, but it was not easy to say it in public, so they all went to the public, asking the emperor to recall King Xing, Discuss on a level basis.

When He Xi and the others heard about this, they wanted to see He Rong, but Ma Hong refused the door because His Majesty was busy with government affairs. He became more anxious and ran to see Empress Pei again.

Ever since Empress Pei was honored as the empress dowager, she has really lived a life of ignoring everything and focusing on raising her children. Although there are rumors coming in from outside these days, she has never asked about it. Seeing He Xi, she looks anxious , still very surprised.

"You usually stay in Qinglong Temple to give lectures, why are you free to come to the palace today? You are really a rare visitor!" Seeing him, Empress Dowager Pei said happily, "Sushuang, serve a cup of nectar for Shiro."

He Xi smiled wryly and said: "My mother is not busy, I just came to the palace to ask, does my mother know the rumors outside?"

Empress Dowager Pei wondered: "The world is uncertain, there are always people waiting for opportunities to make troubles, there are many rumors outside, which one do you say?"

He Xi sighed: "It's related to Wu Lang. It's said that Wu Lang colluded with Li Kuan, so he stood still. I don't believe it!"

Empress Dowager Pei smiled, "You don't even believe it, but how can you believe that Sanlang and Wulang have been close since childhood?"

"But..." He Xi hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Pei spoke out for him: "Are you afraid that Sanlang will become the emperor, and Wulang, one monarch and one minister, the emperor's mind is unfathomable, and the friendship in the past will become a passing cloud?"

He Xi sighed, but did not speak.

Although he has become a monk and refuses to be contaminated by secular power, the past does not mean that he can get rid of it. Others still call him "Silang" and "Fourth Highness". He Xi has always felt that as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, there is no need to worry too much He has a false reputation outside his body, so he has never corrected other people's names, and he goes to the palace to visit his former relatives from time to time. His junior brother Mingchen also said that he has the cultivation base of "there is nothing in the beginning, where can the dust be aroused".

Empress Dowager Pei said: "I believe in Saburo, but since you have such doubts, it means that there are not a few people in the court who think like this. The longer it is delayed, it will not be good for the emperor and Wulang. I will go and ask."

When she asked, it was more legitimate than He Xi's asking. He Xi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Queen Mother!"

However, on the way Empress Pei and He Xi went to Xuanzheng Hall, He Rong, Xue Tan, and Tan Jin were also discussing the rumors.

Xue Tan said surprisingly: "Your Majesty, I suspect that behind the rumors, there are people in the court who are making trouble!"
