[Comprehensive Martial Arts] The Road to Powerful Ministers

Just after the New Year's Eve, Yun Weizhen was still a little lazy and unable to raise his spirits. On the first day after the festival, most of the people were like him, but the skill of pretending was different.Fortunately, the emperor also took a nap, and left after a cutscene.

As soon as Yun Weijue stepped out of the palace gate, Tieshan, the chief executive, approached in small steps, bowed and said, "Prince Zhao Ye, please stay and your majesty will summon you."

Yun Weijue and his colleagues walking beside him bid farewell, followed Tieshan, and the courtiers behind them exchanged understanding glances, and they had a deeper understanding of Yun Weijue's grand family.

When they arrived at the place, before Yun Weijue could continue with the ceremony, the emperor hurriedly dismissed the ceremony, saying: "Stop talking nonsense, come here to warm up." Naturally, there were palace servants who helped Yun Weijue remove the cloak, and waited on him with a hot handkerchief Wipe his face, then help him take off his shoes, and let him sit on the hot kang, where the emperor had already sat cross-legged on the warm kang and smashed nuts by himself.

Speaking of the hot kang, it is still Yun Weijue's credit.The Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the new year is a ceremony. The hall is spacious and airy, and the civil servants who are not in good health will suffer.Yun Weijue took a few sips of hot tea before suppressing the coolness, and said: "Your Majesty has summoned you, what do you want?"

The emperor threw a pine nut over and said angrily, "It's still making trouble."

"Brother, don't I look dignified~" There was no one in private, and Yun Weijue was relieved, picked up the pine nuts and peeled them, jokingly.

"Did you ask your long history to find out where there is a wintersweet tree?" asked the emperor.

"Ah? That's right, so many trivial things have been reported to you, and I told them to keep a low profile the day before yesterday." Yun Weizhen was a little surprised.

"Prince Zhaoye wanted to find something for the first time as a queen, and those people have worked hard to please you. Officials from the Northland are very happy and are gathering energy."

"Lamei is not only found in Beidi." Yun Weizhen shook his head and laughed, and said: "Brother, you are jealous of me. If you want to enjoy some scenery, once you say it, I promise that Yushi will hear about it again. Even the officials who got into things are not spared." Yun Weixuan jokingly raised his eyebrows.

My imperial censor's temper was also brought up by the founder of the country. In order to maintain the so-called "freedom of speech", the censor's habit of gossip has been inherited.Staring at the emperor to pick faults has been a common problem of censors since ancient times.

"Don't make trouble!" The emperor waved his hand and said, "If you want winter plums, go to my Huangzhuang to pick them. Where can there be any good things outside?" He asked for something. Although the flowers in his garden were famous in the past, they were randomly made by the gardener. It can be said that no matter what flowers, plants and trees he saw, Yun Weizhen would admire them.Over time, people also know that Yun Weizhen's love for flowers and plants is not specific, and some ministers even conspiratorially believe that this is a smoke bomb thrown by Yun Weizhen, just to prevent everyone from finding what he really loves. In case the following people will find out what he likes and find out his temper.

"Well, listen to brother." Yun Weizhen nodded, touched the cushion under his body, it was already getting hot, buried his hands in it to keep warm, and then asked in such a casual posture: "Do you want to rectify and rectify the Imperial Palace?" The Stein gang?"

"What, do you have a solution?" The emperor threw his nut toy aside and asked.

"The censor was established with good intentions at the beginning. He thought that he would be independent from the six ministries, which would be more conducive to supervising officials and admonishing the king. It is a pity that the hearts of the people were not enough. When the first emperor was in his later years, these people became the vanguard of the party struggle. Where are His Majesty's admonishing ministers?" , It’s basically a wild dog that opens the way, and it’s designed to bite people for the master behind it.” Yun Weixuan naturally respects the truly virtuous civil servants, but the Yushitai has been passed down for less than a hundred years, but the atmosphere has broken, especially during the reign of the first emperor. After the turmoil of storage competition.

"Tell me, who are you going to use for the surgery." There was a small kang table between the emperor and Yun Weijue, and now the emperor had put his head on the kang table, looking eagerly at it.Ever since he was picked on for eating two extra bites, and one day he was sprayed by the censor for being wrong in the order of the harem, the emperor has no good face for this generation of censors.

"Brother said that I seem to be able to wrong people at will." Yun Weijue rolled his eyes and said, "Let's change the system of Yushitai, try it first and then decide. Those who are qualified to supervise the officials and persuade the king, You must be strong, those who condone servants to oppress the people, but jump out to accuse the royal family of competing for profit with the people, and those who are lustful, greedy, doting on concubines and destroying their wives but want to dictate the affairs of the harem, all of them cannot be tolerated. Go through a review by yourself first, and don’t accept those who don’t meet the requirements.”

"You are going to tear down the Yushitai!" The emperor pointed at Yun Weixuan and laughed.

"Brother underestimates those people too much. In this world, there are real gentlemen who are proud of their character, and there are also villains with good reputations. In this way, it will be of great benefit to the poor students. Sooner or later, people with real character will occupy Yushitai .”

"Well, it sounds interesting. You go back and draw up a more detailed statement for me. Let's discuss the details. Now let me take it easy. After more than ten days of leisure, I feel that my head is not enough." The emperor joked , he still has to think about the feasibility in detail in private.

"Yeah, I'm very sleepy today too, and I slept a lot in the past." Yun Weixie yawned in response to the situation and said, "If you want me to say that my brother's prestige is not enough, if the Taizu and the late emperor were here, who would dare to fight with them?" Chi Chi Wai Wai."

"You're here again~ Oh, the minister is also bullying the novice emperor." The emperor leaned over and buried himself in the warm cloth.

Yun Weijue smiled and pulled his hand and said: "It's not new, it's a pair of old hands." The two of them had a naive quarrel when one of them pulled and the other refused.

At this time, Tieshan had a dull face, holding a red-marked memorial and quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up for six hundred miles."

The emperor immediately came to his senses and sat up straight in a "babble", but when Zhezi looked at it, his face became darker the more he looked at it.

The emperor handed the folder to Yun Weijue, and Yun Weijue put away his lazy and playful, took a look seriously, and tapped softly!

The emperor waved all the waiters back, and Yun Weijue joked: "The opportunity for a novice to become an old hand has come, and His Majesty happens to show his prestige with military exploits."

"As long as you are lenient." The emperor knew that Yun Weijue was just comforting himself, and he appreciated it, but the important matter of the country was to sacrifice to Rong, and the emperor also frowned worriedly and said: "The weather is cold now, and the new year has just passed, how about Rouran?" Suddenly thought of knocking on the side?"

"In previous years, they would come here to plunder when the spring was green or when the army was strong and the horses were strong. When I was strong and strong, they didn't dare to face the edge. It's really abnormal now." Yun Weizhen analyzed.

"You can rest at Dongnuan Pavilion tonight." The emperor suddenly said this, and then his tone turned cold, and he posted an order on the post with a blank face: "I call all the elders of the pavilion, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, The Marquis of Huai'an, Marquis of Yiguo, Duke Ping of Chu, General Hushi, General Fuguo, and General Zhenjun came to see us."

The emperor exported a series of names of officials, Tieshan bowed to promise, and hurried out to order the little eunuch who was waiting for orders, under the guard of the imperial army, to ride a fast horse to the homes of the important officials.

"Brother, I asked Jian Yitang, who is in charge of Northwest and North affairs, to sort out the information for future use." Jian Yitang had the function of spying on information, and Yun Weizhen did not hide this matter from the emperor.

"Go ahead, get more news from multiple channels," said the emperor.

The war is about to break out, and Yun Weizhen is nervous. It is the first time he has faced a large-scale war since he assisted the government.Yun Weijuan believed that since the sheriff of Yunzhong County dared to deliver the letter on the first day of the new year, the size of Rouran's deduction must be quite large, but he was not so nervous to the point of a life-and-death decisive battle, otherwise he would not be counting the time and use It's only six hundred li urgently.

Yun Weizhen comforted himself in his heart that the situation would not get out of control, and there was no sign of anxiety on his face. The more calm and calm he was, the more confident the people below would be.

Sure enough, he could only rest in the East Nuan Pavilion at night, and Yun Weijue was busy until late at night before resting.The situation was tense, the emperor personally asked the messengers, and discussed with several important ministers whether it was war or peace, where to send troops, how to prepare food, logistics and supplies, which military lord or general was willing to go to the battle to help Yunzhong County, it was from the neighboring army It is extremely cumbersome to deploy troops from the town or the Central Plains garrison.In wars, it is often not the battle between the two armies to determine the winner or loser, but from the formulation of tactics, the war begins to determine the outcome.

Yun Weijue didn't return to the mansion until the next afternoon, and Guo Ping greeted him as soon as he entered the house.Rou Ran knocked on the side, although the news of the confrontation with Yunzhong County was blocked, but it was so obvious that the soldiers entered the city, and the people were fooled, and the entire upper class basically knew about it.

Yun Weijuan ignored Guo Ping, went directly to the study, and summoned Balang to report back.

"Last time you said that Yu Luocha had a heart for us to send a message to the northwest, are you sure they didn't succeed?" Yun Weijue didn't believe it, Yu Luocha had just made a move, and Rouran stayed away.You must know that there will be no wars in winter, and the weather factor is enough to cause headaches for the leading generals. Rouran is in the north, and it is too late to survive the cold and resist the severe cold. Where can we allocate troops to attack the border.

"Based on the information we have so far, Yu Luocha didn't succeed." Balang said this first, but seeing that Yun Weizhen's eyes were wrong, he immediately added, "Your subordinates will investigate later."

Balang resigned, Guo Ping handed the stove to Yun Weijuan, and advised: "Don't be too nervous, what good will Yu Luocha do if he encourages Rouran to kowtow to him."

"Don't be careless at all. Yu Luocha is not just a giant in the world, he has the strength to compete at the national level." Yun Weizhen rubbed his brows, feeling upset.

"Okay, let's not talk about Jade Rakshasa, it has been raining and snowing recently, so you can drink some Fuling Phellodendron Decoction to dispel dampness and invigorate Qi." Guo Ping took the tray from the maidservant and placed it next to Ziyun Weixuan.

"It's all Yu Luocha's fault!" Yun Wei said viciously, forcing Yu Luocha to be blamed.

What is Jade Rakshasa doing?He is begging forgiveness at Wanmei Villa.

Maybe it was startled by Guo Ping's thoughts, and Yu Luocha suddenly realized that there is still a talk about splitting peaches and broken sleeves in the world. Seeing that Ximen Chuuxue and Yun Weijue were in the same year, she was afraid that her precious son would also go astray, so she went directly from The Western Regions selected many beauties and stuffed them directly into Wanmei Villa.

Yu Luocha was afraid that his ass would leave, so he went to the Western Demon Cult to celebrate the New Year, Ximen Chuuxue was facing a room full of Yingying Yanyan and almost lifted the roof off.After dismissing those so-called beauties, Ximen Chuuxue was so angry that he ordered his servants not to allow Yu Luocha to enter Wanmei Villa again, although he knew it was useless.

When Yu Luocha came back from the Western Demon Cult, what greeted him was the closed door and Ximen Chuuxue who ran away.Yu Luocha is shut out, can't he use lightness kung fu?The people in Zhuangzi know that father and son are having conflicts, they just mean it, and they absolutely dare not get involved.

"Axue, what's the matter with you, who has spoken ill of me in front of you again." Yu Luocha always lacked IQ when facing Ximen Chuuxue.

"How dare you come to the door!" Ximen Chuuxuelu said.

"Axue, don't be deceived by others, Daddy is innocent..." Yu Luosha didn't even understand the situation and began to cry for grievances. He didn't hesitate to throw the blame on Dao Yunwei.Therefore, Yu Luocha and Yun Weizhen still have a tacit understanding, and they regard each other as professional households who are responsible for the blame.

"What does it have to do with Yuan Yan? You acted indiscreetly, judging others by yourself..." Ximen Chuuxue began to accuse him of his mistakes, talking about the inconspicuous matter of Yu Luocha giving him a beauty.

"I didn't do anything in the capital, so he must have planted the blame on me!" Yu Luocha couldn't understand the situation.

It was like talking to a duck, Ximen Chuuxue saw that it didn't make sense, so he drew his long sword out of the sheath and stabbed at him. Although Yu Luocha's martial arts skills were high, he didn't dare to fight, for fear of making his son even more angry.Seeing that he couldn't beat Ximen Chuuxue, after a few moves, he vented his emotions and decided to go to the sword room to retreat.

Yu Luocha asked with a cold face: "Yun Weijue told Axue about the matter? Didn't I ask you to intercept the message?"

"No, the master did not." Cheng Yi hurried up to put out the fire and said, "The correspondence between the young master and Yun Weizhen is kept, and the subordinates have read it, but did not find that the master knows the grievances between you and Yun Weizhen."

"Then he must be planning when to say it to get the best results." Yu Luocha gritted his teeth and kept walking back and forth.

Lan Yi was so miserable that he couldn't speak. Ever since he took over the job of Lu Yi, Lan Yi couldn't laugh or cry. Yu Luocha couldn't understand such an obvious thing. IQ is totally off the line.

"Master, think twice, act rashly, and let the Central Plains court misunderstand us and find fault." Don't forget that Yun Weijue is not an ordinary person!

"Who told him to slander Ah Xue in front of her?"

Oh my god, did what Cheng Yi said just now mean nothing?Yun Weizhen didn't speak ill of you!Blue Yi shouted in his heart, he wondered why he didn't find out that his master had mental retardation tendencies.

"Master, calm down! The young master is not talking about this matter!" Cheng Yi hurriedly said: "The young master is angry with the beauty you sent here!"

"Beauty? He's not satisfied. That's what I selected carefully. How many princesses are there from small countries?" Yu Luocha said. Except for small countries with strict religious beliefs, other countries do not have strict requirements for women's chastity. The folk customs are open and bold, coupled with the dignitaries of Jade Rakshasa, those who cling to power are almost happy to send their daughters and sisters.

"Master! Young Master is majoring in the Dao of Ruthlessness." Lan Yi pointed out the most critical point.

"Oh, the ruthless way." Yu Luocha's IQ finally came online, "Then I don't worry about it, let's get rid of those people."

Do you think this is a purchase?If you say return it, you can return it, or bring it back to the teaching, let's see if those disciples are interested.Lan Yi made up his mind in his heart that he didn't need to ask Jade Raksha for these trivial matters.

"It's not convenient for me to speak when I'm in the capital. Will Yun Weijue tell Axue about the past and damage my image?" Yu Luocha told Cheng Yi to quickly deal with those beauties who affected the relationship between father and son. Ask Blue for advice.

"Green clothes advised you to talk to Yun Weixing face to face, didn't you say no?" Blue clothes black line.

"Oh, it wasn't Guo Ping who disrupted the situation at the time, and it became stiff." To put it bluntly, it was Yu Luocha who couldn't get over her face.

"Master, don't worry. Looking at Yun Weijue's past actions, he is proud and upright, and he likes to pursue the right way. He probably wouldn't do such a thing." Lan Yi said, ever since he knew that Yun Weijue was Yu Tianbao, Lan Yi He was also very surprised, and hastened to add a lot of information about Yun Weiding. It can be said that he studied his life and deeds back and forth.

"Really?" Yu Luocha asked uncertainly, the relationship between him and Yun Weizhen was not that good.Yu Luocha is not afraid of anything else, and it affects his relationship with Ximen Chuuxue. When he threatens people, he insists that he doesn't care about the Western Demon Cult and Ximen Chuuxue, but if he really doesn't care, why should he spend so much money on Ximen Chuuxue? After so much effort, why take the risk of feigning death to rectify the Western Demon Cult, isn't it just to leave a clean and stable foundation for his son?

While they were talking, Cheng Yi went back and forth, saying: "Master, attack Yunzhong County in the Central Plains Rouran."

"What?" Yu Luocha jumped up, "When?"

"Six days ago, the road was blocked by heavy snow, so the news came late." Cheng Yi said.

"Prepare the horse, Islam." When encountering such a big event, Yu Luocha is not that stupid father, and immediately regains his savvy. Once the war starts, it is not up to someone to decide when it will stop.The sphere of influence of the Western Devil's Cult borders the Central Plains and Rouran, and Yu Luocha must sit in the headquarters of the Devil's Cult to command.

"Don't let Ah Xue roll in." This was Yu Luocha's order to Cheng Yi before leaving.

The war is about to break out, and the most important thing for Yun Weizhen now is to find out why he suddenly launched an attack in this impossible time period.The scouts of Jian Yitang and the Ministry of War have been dispatched in full force, and the stewards of several border trade merchants have also sent frequent letters to Yun Weijue. Back then, the caravan supported by Yun Weijue had the intention of inquiring about news.

In the face of such a major event, the emperor's trust in Yun Weijuan was fully demonstrated. The general routine government affairs have been handed over to other cabinet elders. Yun Weijuan's main task now is the border war.

It’s not that the other court elders are untrustworthy, but the emperor thinks that only Yun Weizhen understands his thoughts. The emperor is absolutely impossible to seek peace, and he is not even satisfied with Xiaosheng. The emperor grew up listening to the deeds of Taizu’s founding of the country when he was young , I have long had the ambition to expand the territory in my heart.At that time, he was the youngest son, and he didn't have such great ambitions. Later, when the elder brothers fought, it was he, the youngest son, who made a profit, and the ambition buried in his heart since childhood had already grown.

But now the government and the public look at the emperor's eyes, many people still regard him as the crowned prince who was young, a lucky man who made a fortune. Even though the emperor has begun to reform the rivers and lakes and restrain the forces of martial arts, he has not touched Dao Gaomen There are still some ignorant people who can't see the form of the power of the big clan, such as those censors.

The emperor needs a victory, a great military exploit to show his prestige and consolidate his power.Only Yun Weijiu can understand this kind of thinking, and only Yun Weijiu is willing and able to do it for him.

Yun Weijue had already stayed up for several nights, and went to the palace early in the morning to report the collected news to the emperor for him to make a decision.

"Your Majesty." Yun Weixuan saluted wearily, the emperor quickly supported him, pushed him on the seat, and asked the servants to move the smoker cage and brazier to his side.

"Don't bother." Yun Weizhen waved his hand, raising a large stack of papers in his hand as a signal.

The emperor hurriedly dismissed the servants, leaving only Tieshan to wait on him.

"Your Majesty, let's take a look. This is the information determined by the assembled forces of the Ministry of War, Jian Yitang, and the caravan. This time, Rouran's sudden knock was due to the change of regime. The new prince needs a victory to deter the losers. Boost morale." Yun Weizhen took out a piece of paper, unfolded it and handed it to the emperor, saying: "The old Khan Touman of Rouran was killed, and the murderer became his eldest son. Your Majesty may not have heard of this person. His His name is Ali Kan. Although he is the eldest son of the old Khan, his mother died young and he was considered to have no status in the clan. Therefore, he was sent to their powerful neighbor Kucha as a hostage. This prince grew up in Kucha since childhood. He is big, bold and heroic, and is supported by the Kucha people. Your Majesty knows that nomads are different from us. They worship individual abilities and often make a person a myth. Followed his few servants to conquer the kingdoms for the king of Qiuci, and made countless contributions. Slowly, Ali Kan's power became stronger and stronger. Touman saw his strength, and the sons of Rouran's clan also went their own way , fighting with each other, Touman originally wanted to lure this son back to balance the princes, but in the end, Alikan killed Touman directly and became King Khan himself, now..."

"Wait, wait." The emperor suddenly stopped, "How did they inherit the Khan throne? Ali Kan's blatant murder, why didn't he get attacked by a crowd? What about his half-brothers?"

"Your Majesty, you have never lived in the grassland. I don't know that there is no definite succession system for the throne on the grassland. Unlike our Central Plains, where there are etiquette and law, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. It is not uncommon for people to kill and seize the throne. , Old Khan Wang Touman, didn’t you ascend to the throne in the same way? When Taizu founded the country, he drove the nomads to the north of the Great Wall, so he didn’t have the energy to go deep into the battle. Now that they have recovered, they have encountered such ambitions again. The vigorous new Khan will naturally come to the Central Plains to plunder."

"According to your tone, this Ali Kan still has some skills. He will not attack suddenly without preparation. It is winter now, and soldiers can't bear to travel long distances and camp in the wild for a long time." Although the emperor grew up in the deep palace and had no military knowledge, But there is still some common sense.

"Naturally, Your Majesty, you still remember that Alikan Khan was born in Kucha."

"But aren't you in the clubhouse? His mother died young, and there are not many clan members?" The emperor was puzzled, if he was not a relative clan member, who would help.

"It is enough to have interests. Alikan already has several tribes in Kucha under his command, but the King of Kucha admires him very much and has formed an alliance with him." Yun Weixuan said.

"Alliance?" The emperor was surprised: "Didn't you say that the countries in the Western Regions are under the control of the Western Demon Cult? Is this what that Jade Rakshasa meant? He lived in your residence for a while years ago, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but I don't know what his plan is." Yun Weijue didn't shirk, and said, "I'm afraid I have to ask him personally."
