My country is dead again [Rebirth]

The memorials submitted by the courtiers every day have to be drafted by the cabinet first, and then sent to the supervisor of ceremonies. Many of the memorials are talking nonsense, and some even just greet the emperor. Xie Ruzhuo has always been too lazy to read it. After printing, it will be sent back the same way.

Some playbooks did cover important matters, but the cabinet often came up with a proper solution after discussion. Xie Ruzhuo took a rough look and asked the director of ceremonies to directly review the dictionaries on the ticket to approve the redemption.

Therefore, there are very few memorials that Xie Ruzhuo really needs to read every day. He often laments that the set of regulations created by the ancestors of the Xie family is really easy, and it is no wonder that his father can play without distractions for most of his life.

But today is very different.

There were two stacks of notebooks piled up on the table, and a cup of strong tea had been refilled twice, with wisps of heat rising tremblingly, Xie Ruzhuo's face was livid, he rubbed the space between his brows a few times, and asked, "Where did these words come from?" from?"

He Xiaoman spread out a few pieces of paper on the table, Liu Ye frowned, and said: "The Dongchang has already checked, and the slaves have also communicated with Jinyiwei, the source has been found, but it must be from the court. .” He paused for a moment, and pointedly looked at the ticket stickers pasted on the notebook by the cabinet, “No one has ordered this kind of thing, how can such a battle be spread.”

Xie Ruzhuo sneered: "Sun Bingde is very competitive and wants to control everything. He knows it's just the beginning, and he lost the initiative once he showed weakness. It seems that Du Ruo's incident made him angry." After finishing speaking, he sighed again He took a deep breath, "The matter of rebuilding the three major battalions just happened to happen at this stall. They took Shen Ci to show me that I was the one who got Shen Ci into trouble."

"The cabinet will not let it go." He Xiaoman said, "Tomorrow the cabinet will instruct the officials to make a fuss about this matter."

"The son of a whore, whose identity is unknown..." Xie Ruzhuo slapped the table and stood up, the cabinet ticket was crumpled in the palm of his hand, "Who is Sun Bingde scolding!"

Xie Ruzhuo was seldom so angry, He Xiaoman winked and told all the servants in the hall to go out, poured out the cup of strong tea, replaced it with a cup of scented scented tea, carefully said: "Wouldn't Sun Bingde's doing this be a waste of money?" The Empress Dowager also scolded him? He and the Empress Dowager have not violated the law so far, why should they suddenly tear themselves apart?"

"Because even if this matter is brought up on the stage, the Queen Mother would not dare to say anything. She and Wu Xianrong couldn't explain it clearly, and she jumped out to fight Sun Bingde, and there is no silver 300 taels here." Xie Ruzhuo was not in the mood to drink tea again, but Smelling the light fragrance of scented tea, I felt a little more relaxed, "In the end, this matter is still aimed at me, and she has nothing to do with her, so she can avoid causing trouble."

He sat back a little tired, and looked at the few pieces of paper that He Xiaoman handed over again.

After appointing the prince's teacher, Sun Bingde played a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers with him. When he proposed to rebuild the three major battalions in Lezhou, Sun Bingde even agreed very much.

It is imperative to rebuild the three major battalions.

Now the three major battalions can gather more than [-] people, which is less than one-fifth of Tai Zu's period.At the beginning, Ping was not defended, and the army was defeated like a mountain. The main reason was that the three major battalions in the capital were short of troops, and their combat power was far from what it used to be.What's more, the imperial court doesn't have a single available soldier at the moment, and it can't rely on the four general soldiers or the vulnerable guard army to fight in the future.

Since it is going to be rebuilt, a group of people have to be stuffed here.

The cabinet asked the Ministry of War to be responsible for selecting the generals of the three battalions, and Xie Ruzhuo had no objection.

In the past in Pingdu, most of the generals of the three major battalions were honored officials and family members, all of them had prominent identities. In addition, the three major battalions were under the emperor's feet, and their interests were complicated. It may be that the emperor or the cabinet has the final say, and the Ministry of War will examine the background, qualifications and character of the candidate first to make everyone more convincing.

However, the Ministry of War selected people for two days, only to find that there was a real shortage of people in the court, so the selection was not uniform at all.Under such circumstances, it is inevitable to recruit newcomers, so Xie Ruzhuo took the opportunity to add Shen Ci's name to the list.

After the first Southern Expedition, everyone knew Shen Ci, and everyone knew that Shen Ci was a person valued by the emperor, and he would not just stay in the commander of the capital to experience it.

This is not something worthy of the cabinet's fanfare. It is reasonable for the emperor to win over one or two of his own people, and there is indeed a lack of generals who can fight in the court. Since Shen Ci is a general, it is a good thing to be able to serve the court.

But with Du Ruo's matter in the front, this matter cannot be dismissed hastily. The cabinet pushed Shen Ci to the forefront behind the scenes, and dragged the emperor into the water by the way.

As Xiaoman said, it is impossible to find out where those rumors started. At the beginning, they were only talking about Shen Ci's background.

The mother's background is similar, and the old experience is also hard to say. At first, it was said that the emperor was sympathetic to Shen Ci, but later someone fanned the flames, and the rumors became that Shen Ci was the son of a prostitute. His identity was unknown, and he might not be Pei Yuankai's illegitimate son at all. I don't know. His mother gave birth to which man, so what about the current emperor?

The current emperor's mother is also a prostitute. She was confined in the cold palace because she was entangled with Wu Xianrong, so who can tell the emperor's origin?

Sun Bingde is well versed in the principle of beating a snake and hitting seven inches. Xie Ruzhuo's claim to the throne is already somewhat dishonest, and with the rumors of unknown background, it is undoubtedly holding his culprit, and using this to tell the emperor This is the price of disobedience.

Xie Ruzhuo had already thought through every joint of this poisonous trick, gritted his teeth and threw the crumpled ticket aside, saying: "Banban, you send someone to find Shen Ci, and ask him to take sick leave for the next two days at home. There is no need to explain anything in the playbook." His eyes darkened, as if a sharp blade flashed away, "Tomorrow they'd better make things bigger, I'll wait."

At the right time, the bell rang, and all the ministers crossed the Xiaojinshui Bridge and entered the Chongzheng Hall to kneel down and knock three times.

There was a few moments of silence in the hall, and Xue Zishang, who was in the middle of the incident, came out from the military department: "The minister has a play."

The middle-level grades of the six departments are no more than seven grades, but their duties are to supervise the six departments and impeach all officials, that is, the officials who are avoided by the ministers. Come out three.

Like Yu Shizhong, most of them are young officials. Xue Zilu is in his 20s. The Ministry of War is responsible for the reconstruction of the three major battalions.

Xie Ruzhuo said: "Zuzao."

Xue Zishang presented the memorial, the courtier took it, unfolded it on the table, Xie Ruzhuo lowered his eyes slightly to look at the words on it, Xue Zishang said loudly: "The courtier has experienced a heavy resignation for the impeachment of Suifang."

The hall was so quiet that there was only the sound of dripping leaks, Xie Ruzhuo's expression was indifferent, and Xue Zixue continued: "Five days ago, the Ministry of War made a roster for the selection of the generals of the three major battalions. There are also rumors that have been heard in the capital recently. The rumors are turbulent, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. However, the three major battalions are garrisoned in the capital. People, it is understandable to be a little flexible. But Shen Ci is the son of a prostitute, so his military status is questionable, and Shen Ci is appointed by His Majesty. Now the rumors have the intention of slandering His Majesty. If you continue to use Shen Ci, not only Going against the will of the people puts His Majesty in a disadvantageous position. I implore Your Majesty to replace others and appoint the three major battalions, and you must not use heavy words again."

"Tick-tock-"

The sound of dripping water drops is clearer, like ripples in a pond.

After Xue Zilu finished speaking, another member of the party also stood up and said: "The minister seconded the proposal. It is rumored that Shen Ci's mother was a military prostitute in the Cangzhou Army. At the time of the funeral of the late emperor’s mother, Queen Zhaoyi, it was a great funeral for the country, and recruiting prostitutes in the army was a big taboo. Pei Yuankai was at odds with Dai Xu, then the chief assistant of the cabinet and Minister of the Ministry of War. It is rumored that Dai Xu seized the handle. Recognize their mother and son. But recently, rumors have become more and more popular, and many people in the Pei family have come forward to express that the rumors are not true, and Shen Ci is not the blood of the Pei family. Since the truth can no longer be distinguished, and the rumors are rampant, it is not wrong to replace Shen Ci."

Of course, Xie Ruzhuo has also seen those memorabilia of the Pei family. More than ten years have passed since the incident, and Dai Xu has become a piece of loess, and there are still a few real insiders back then. Later, I will recognize that there is a ghost.

As for the so-called rumors, since they can be spread well, Xie Ruzhuo doesn't believe these courtiers.

What's more, the people who met Pei Yuankai and Shen Ci still said that they were either father and son or they were purely ignorant of their conscience.

The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate had obviously obtained the cabinet's instruction, Zuoqian Du Yushi then said leisurely: "If a person whose background is unknown becomes a general of the three major battalions in the capital, not only His Majesty will be caught in rumors, but the whole Dayu's face will also be lost, and I hope His Majesty will think twice before acting."

"Several lovers kept saying that I was also caught in rumors..." Xie Ruzhuo chuckled lightly and asked with great interest, "I would like to hear how Shen Ci's rumors hurt me?"

The censor of the capital of Zuoqian kept silent, Xue Zilu seemed not aware of the faint danger in the emperor's words, and replied fearlessly: "I ask your majesty to forgive me if my words offend you. Your majesty favors Shen's speeches. It's a good story for the emperor and his ministers, but there are many similarities between His Majesty and Shen Ci's life experience, and the common people are always skeptical and fanciful. If Your Majesty continues to reuse Shen Ci, the people will speculate more about His Majesty's life experience, which is really a shame. The move of the country! I once again implore Your Majesty to replace Shen Ci!"

Xie Ruzhuo leaned forward, and the five-colored jade on the pendant swayed, making a slight knocking sound. He slightly curled the corners of his lips, and asked with a smile: "Then Xue Qing means that I am the son of a prostitute just like Shen Ci. Is it unknown?"

In this light questioning, Sun Bingde slowly raised his eyes to look at the dragon chair placed on the xumizuo, Han Zhen rushed in front of him and said: "Your Majesty calm down, the adults are also worried about His Majesty, everyone speaks out, Your Majesty You should be vigilant indeed.”

"I'm just wondering, Zhuqing is talking about chasing the wind and shadow, and at the same time saying it's not good for me, so Zhuqing is going to tell me that I am not afraid of the shadow, and let me rest assured, or..." Xie Ruzhuo still smiled, It seems to be really saying something funny, "My family background is not clean, I am afraid that this royal blood is also fake?"
