Rebirth of the Prince's Uterus

Chapter 165 The Governor's Choice

On the eve of the trip to the hot spring, Empress Dowager Ciren asked Zhao Hongyin to find out Xu Youan's tone in private.Zhao Hongyin agreed at the time, but he didn't take it seriously.Then what happened to Lan Chong, Zhao Hongyin naturally forgot about it

At this moment when Empress Dowager Ciren asked, Zhao Hongyin was still a little stunned, and then said with regret: "You Anzhi is not here."

The Empress Dowager Ciren had already thought about it, but she felt a little regretful when she heard it with her own ears.Xu You'an, what a young man, his appearance, talent, and disposition are all first-class, but it's a pity that he has great ambitions, so he is not a good match for the princess after all.

If Xu You'an didn't have the talent to accompany Zhi Xiang, Empress Dowager Ci Ren wouldn't be so worried, and would directly point out the marriage, and he would have to marry this princess if he didn't.

Compared with the Empress Dowager Ciren, she was still quite moved. She glanced at Zhao Hongyin who looked pale, and secretly denied this idea.For the sake of the princess hurting her relationship with the prince, the Empress Dowager Ciren could not do such a thing.

Since then, the matter of Princess Xu Youanshang has come to an end.

Without Xu Youan's knowledge, Zhao Hongyin helped him to block the peach blossom again.

Of course, Zhao Hongyin didn't intend to tell Xu Youan about this.Although he believed that You'an would not be interested in a yellow-haired girl, after being found out by You'an, You'an would inevitably turn his attention to Zhao Lin'er.He was unwilling to share You An's concern with others.

The Empress Dowager Ciren found Zhao Hongyin and failed to achieve both goals, so she felt a little depressed, she just said she was tired and drove Zhao Hongyin out.

A few days later, great news came from the Duke's mansion.The twin sisters were selected by the emperor and brought into the harem.Xu Qin received the imperial decree, changed the official residence, and went into the palace proudly to thank him.When passing by Xu Youan's new house, he snorted coldly with his nostrils upturned, and then walked away arrogantly.

However, Xu Youan didn't know anything about it.

Guan Chi finally returned to Jinling with the captives from the Six Kingdoms.He entered the palace without stopping, and the emperor received him very warmly.Anyone with a discerning eye will know that the favor of the official family is still there, and there are signs of a higher level.

The captives that Guan Chi brought back were all feudal princes and their families.Of course, during the period, there were also hard-hearted vassals who confronted Guan Chi until the last moment, and died.Guan Chi had no sympathy for these rebels.Even if the women and children in the back house are innocent, aren't his dead soldiers innocent?

Because of Guan Chi's attitude, the captives were not treated well along the way.All of them were so hungry that they could barely survive.But the emperor was different from Guan Chi. Even though he hated these vassals deeply, he couldn't be too cruel on the surface.For the vassals who were willing to surrender, the emperor chose a house for them in Jinling, where they would live for generations.They cut off their titles from generation to generation until they became commoners in the long river of time.

For these princes, they have since become birds in cages and chickens in pens.But, at least he kept his sex with his family

Life.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. They have long since had no choice.

The princes of the Six Kingdoms have been cut, but those fiefdoms cannot be managed without someone.It would be inappropriate to confer the feudal king again, and the emperor would not be willing.In the past few days, the DPRK and China have been fighting fiercely over this matter, but they have not been able to come up with a reason.

The emperor heard these civil servants arguing every day, and his head was as big as a fight.It's fine if it's a farsighted suggestion, but it's all commonplace

talk.

The prince stood aside and listened to the quarrel of these ministers, not only did not appear impatient, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth

meaning.

This made the emperor feel that Zhao Hongyin was mocking him, that his subordinates were all useless.

Every time he saw Zhao Hongyin making such a calm and composed appearance, the emperor couldn't help but think of the former prince.It was like this back then, whenever he was flustered and embarrassing, the former prince looked like this - he seemed to know everything clearly.

The emperor's anger accumulated for several days suddenly surged up. He looked at Zhao Hongyin with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "What do you think the prince has heard for a long time?"

The hall fell silent for a while.

Zhao Hongyin didn't seem to notice the sudden silence in the hall, but just walked out of the queue and cupped his hands and said, "I have some ideas, but I don't know them all. I ask my father to polish my son after listening to it."

The emperor looked a little better, and he nodded slightly, "Finish."

Zhao Hongyin smiled slightly and talked eloquently.

"As for how to deal with the fiefdoms of the Six Kingdoms, it is essentially the difference between enfeoffment and counties. I would like to ask all ministers, what should you choose between enfeoffment and counties?"

The ministers never expected that the crown prince would talk about the system of enfeoffment and the system of prefectures and counties so bluntly.Since the emperor came to the throne, they have subconsciously avoided the discussion of this policy.After all, this policy is the foundation of a country, and it cannot be easily changed.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and almost no one dared to be such a bird.

Suddenly a courtier stood up and said: "Since the establishment of the dynasty, our dynasty has implemented the unified administration of prefectures and states. But this time the Six Kingdoms Rebellion has demonstrated the disadvantages of enfeoffment, so I think the country should be abolished and counties should be abolished."

Hearing it suddenly, the officials couldn't help being in an uproar.

Zhao Hongyin looked at that person, and was taken aback for a moment. It turned out to be Wai Lang, a member of the military department... He remembered that this was Aunt You'an's husband.

After the officials were surprised, they began to refute.Zhao Hongyin had hardly seen this military member, Wailang, and seeing him being attacked by the officials, he was just about to help out, but he heard him say, "Since all the adults think it's good to divide the title, then do you want your Majesty to be the king again?"

This sentence silenced everyone.

Zhao Hongyin let out a "huh" and became interested in this military member Wai Lang.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. From the beginning to the end, he insisted on the system of prefectures and counties. In his opinion, the Rebellion of the Six Kingdoms should be a good warning to those stubborn officials. He should not implement the prefecture and county system again. blocked.But in the past few days in the court, none of these courtiers said anything, which made the emperor very angry.

He glanced at Zhao Hongyin lightly, "What does the crown prince think of what Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, said?" He did not forget that the first person who dared to raise it was Zhao Hongyin.

Although he didn't want to admit it, among his many descendants, only Zhao Hongyin understood him best.While the emperor felt relieved, he felt a little timid in his heart.

How could Zhao Hongyin not see the fear that flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he didn't mean to hide his clumsiness, and said directly: "Military Department member Wailang and my minister have the same ideas."

"Oh? Then the prince will tell you, how do you plan to implement the county system in the fiefs of the six kingdoms?" The emperor set his eyes on him.Zhao Hongyin didn't seem to feel the weight of that gaze, and said to himself: "All the vassal kings were taken to Jinling, but none of the officials they left in the fief were allowed to stay."

As soon as Zhao Hongyin said this, all the officials gasped, the crown prince must have been too ruthless.

The emperor couldn't help but frowned, and was about to ask, but when he heard Zhao Hongyin chuckle, he couldn't help frowning even deeper. "Ministers, please rest assured that what Gu said is not what you think. Gu just thinks that their staying in the fief is not beneficial for us to implement the county system, so he wants to invite them to live in another place."

After hearing this, the officials couldn't help nodding their heads, thinking it was feasible.

Once the officials in the fief leave, there will be no leader in the fief, and the officials sent by the central government will not be hindered when they handle official duties and implement policies.

"As for the fief officials, they can be exiled to the southwest region. Most of them are educated people, and going to that remote place should also promote the local development."

"Prince, this is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone!" A courtier couldn't help applauding.

The emperor felt good after hearing it, but the fear in his heart made him not happy.

Zhao Hongyin smiled at the minister, and continued: "After disrupting their internal layout, the emperor can send ministers as governors to monitor this area. Of course, the governors should also have detailed officials to manage the township, county seat."

"Then isn't this assassin just like a vassal king?"

"It's not the same. Private soldiers are no longer allowed in the area under the governor's management, and all the local people re-register their household registrations. And the governor changes every five years, so they can't be allowed to stay in one place for a long time. In this way, I don't worry that they will The area under his management has become his own fiefdom..." Zhao Hongyin paused, "This is what I have thought of at the moment, and the specific details are still available, adults please brainstorm

beneficial. "

The emperor finally nodded in satisfaction, and he said: "The crown prince's thinking is similar to mine, what do you loves think?"

How dare the ministers dare to refute after hearing this, but today they finally see clearly what the emperor thinks, and the crown prince... that is really surprising

Unexpected.

Seeing that no one objected, the emperor turned his eyes to Zhao Hongyin, "Even if the crown prince raises this matter, I will entrust you with the responsibility for the governor and other matters. Don't let me down."

Zhao Hongyin responded in a low voice.

The emperor turned his attention to the member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, "The member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, is counted as the governor, from the second rank. After the prince's arrangement is completed, you can take your family to take up the post."

Military member Uiro was stunned for a moment, and only after being reminded by his colleagues next to him, he came back to his senses and knelt down to thank him.

This member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, was originally an official of Cong Liu, but after being promoted, he became Cong Second Rank. Although he left Jinling, the governor's

The rights are high!As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I don't know how chic and comfortable this trip is, and the spring breeze is proud.

Many ministers secretly hated, if they knew this, they would not be timid... Maybe the fat job of the governor is theirs!It's just that this opportunity is fleeting, who can expect it?

After the next dynasty, the emperor kept Zhao Hongyin.

"Wai Lang, member of the Ministry of War, did you mention something privately?" the emperor asked straight to the point.

"I dare not, and I am also very surprised by this." Zhao Hongyin frowned, with some dissatisfaction in his tone, "Father is because the military member Wai Lang has a blind date with the Duke's mansion, and the minister has a good relationship with You'an. Do you think so?"

The emperor showed a faint smile, "I know that the crown prince has always been on good terms with You'an, but I also believe that the crown prince will never have a personal relationship with a minister.

Secret 〇"

Zhao Hongyin hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My minister never did anything to form a party for personal gain!"

The emperor nodded slowly, "I know, I just want to mention the crown prince. Since there is nothing important, you can go back. The matter of the governor still needs to be discussed more. You choose a few capable ministers to help, and issue the charter as soon as possible." Take it out."

After Zhao Hongyin thanked him, he left the Hall of Qinzheng.

When he returned to the East Palace, his complexion darkened. Seeing this, Taosu couldn't help worrying, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Zhao Hongyin snorted coldly, "The emperor suspects that he is working alone for personal gain."

Taosu was slightly taken aback, "Why..."

Zhao Hongyin then told Taosu in detail what happened today.

Taosu frowned and said: "The assassination matter was planned after a long time of thinking between His Highness and Mrs. Tuoba. I thought it would be appreciated by His Majesty...but it seems to make him more jealous."

Zhao Hongyin poured himself a cup of hot tea, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Gu is not afraid of him."

Taosu responded, but her face was still full of worries, "Wai Lang, a member of the military department, suddenly appeared, so the person His Highness chose before will change?"

Zhao Hongyin raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yuan Xiao playfully, "Do you know who that military member Wai Lang is?"

"Who?"

Zhao Hongyin bought Guan Zi before he said slowly: "Aunt You'an's husband-in-law."

Yuan Xiao was not at all shocked at this moment, he smiled wryly, "No wonder His Majesty suspects that you are forming a clique for personal gain." Zhao Hongyin: "..."

When Xu Youan received that his uncle was going to become the governor, he knew that something was wrong.He immediately took Taosu and Kou'er, and drove to the East Palace.

Zhao Hongyin was not surprised to know that he came, but when he saw Xu Youan, he showed a little helplessness, "Wai Lang, a member of the military department, really accepted Cheng Yaojin this time."

The corner of Xu Youan's mouth twitched. Although he felt ashamed, he didn't want others to compare his uncle to Cheng Yaojin.

"Who did you plan to let go?" Zhao Hongyin didn't discuss these things with him for the time being, and Xu Youan didn't ask either.But now that his uncle was involved, Xu Youan had to ask no matter what.Although he was sure that Zhao Hongyin would not hurt his family.

Zhao Hongyin shook his head, "It doesn't matter if we don't mention it now, but how is You'an's uncle?"

"I've only met a few times during the New Year's Eve. He's a very gentle person, and I don't know the details very well." After Xu You'an gave a pertinent evaluation, he paused and said, "But my aunt is very picky, and the person she chooses Should be right."

The last sentence made Xu Youan blush a little.

"Forget it, since the emperor's order has been made, let's make a decision here. I will have a good chat with Uncle You'an."

Xu Youan came in such a hurry that he didn't even take a sip of water, feeling his mouth was dry, Taosu served new tea.

Zhao Hongyin turned to look at him, "Where is the Lantern Festival?"

Taosu lowered her head and blushed, "I was dragged away by Kouer."

Xu You'an looked at Zhao Hongyin and smiled apologetically, but Zhao Hongyin didn't care, he just asked Taosu to send a message to the two of them, saying that they would be given a day off today.

Taosu responded gratefully, and hurriedly left to pass on the message.

Xu Youan blinked, "Is it okay for the prince to have no one to take care of him?"

Zhao Hongyin smiled back, "With You'an here, why do we need other people?"

Xu You'an was choked, so he had no choice but to change the subject and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement may also intentionally disrupt your arrangement."

Why didn't Zhao Hongyin think of this, he even smiled secretly, "He also labeled me as a clique for selfishness because of this.

"



Xu Youan turned pale with shock, "Why does Your Majesty do this?!" Before Zhao Hongyin answered why, Xu Youan thought of the reason

He paused and said, "...Is he beating you not to get too close to me?"

Zhao Hongyin didn't expect Xu You'an to forget that side of thinking, and immediately denied it: "Of course not, he is afraid of me, so he will always give me a blow."

After hearing this, Xu Youan didn't feel relaxed at all, but felt that something was wrong.

He didn't like the emperor because he knew that the previous emperor didn't trust Zhao Hongyin, and he executed him because of some false evidence.In the previous life, Zhao Hongyin respected the emperor well, which was completely different from this life.Even though he knew that the emperor favored Zhao Hongqian, Zhao Hongyin was never dissatisfied with the emperor.But in this world... I don't know when Zhao Hongyin developed a hatred for the emperor.

Xu Youan didn't notice it at first, because he didn't like the emperor either.Therefore, he was not surprised that Zhao Hongyin showed hostility towards the emperor.But now that I think about it, that's pretty unusual.

Looking back on all the things that happened in these years, Xu You'an didn't think that there was anything that could make Zhao Hongyin have such a strong hatred for the emperor.

meaning.

He secretly glanced at Zhao Hongyin, this person had something to hide from him.

Seeing Xu Youan's silence, Zhao Hongyin thought he was worried about the two of them.If You'an said that the two of them don't want to see each other for now, Zhao Hongyin would have to accompany his wife and break the army.He wanted to explain again, but Xu Youan looked at him coldly, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Although it was a question, Xu Youan spoke with certainty.

Zhao Hongyin was a little uneasy in his heart, and forced a smile, "If it is true that I have concealed the matter about the emperor's grandmother wanting you to be the princess,

"



Xu Youan's expression turned even colder, "You know that's not what I want to know."

Zhao Hongyin frowned.

Xu Youan just stared at him, but the coldness on his body was getting heavier and heavier.

Zhao Hongyin's expression was not as relaxed as before, and he was also tense.He didn't expect You'an to notice his negligence today, it's only because he couldn't hide his emotions when he was with You'an.

According to You'an's character, if you don't tell him everything truthfully today, you will definitely not be kind.Of course, it is not okay to make up a lie, because his hatred for the emperor is too obvious.Besides, You'an is quick-witted.Knowing him very well... After thinking for a long time, Zhao Hongyin made a decision that he could only tell the truth.

Before speaking, Zhao Hongyin did not forget to describe himself.

"When I found out, You'an was still young. That's why I planned to keep it a secret, thinking that I would tell you when there is a suitable time." Xu You'an snorted coldly, "Is this the right time today?"

Zhao Hongyin smiled wryly, "It's not appropriate, it's only appropriate."

Xu Youan snorted again, "Speak."

Zhao Hongyin told about how he was adopted to the former prince, and of course the emperor poisoned the former prince.He didn't say much about the details, after all, he couldn't remember clearly because he was under the influence of the poison.

"If I can still remember what happened back then, I can also know the normal father's love and mother's love." Zhao Hongyin said regretfully.Xu You'an listened with a calm face, he never thought that there would be such a thing!According to what Zhao Hongyin said, when he knew the truth, it was the death of the first emperor, and he was poisoned again.Suddenly knowing the truth back then...Xu Youan's eye circles immediately turned red.

Somewhat angry, some distressed, some hate, Xu Youan's chest seemed to be grasped by something.He looked at Zhao Hongyin, moved his lips but couldn't say words of comfort.

Zhao Hongyin has passed the time of needing comfort.

But when Xu Youan remembered that he had carried this matter on his back for so many years, the anger in his heart surged up.But he can't blame Zhao Hongyin, because if he were him, he would make the same choice.

Zhao Hongyin was most afraid that Xu Youan would not say anything after listening to it, which made him wonder how to comfort Youan who knew the truth.

The two grieved for each other's sorrow, and their heart ached to one place.

Finally, Zhao Hongyin grabbed Xu Youan's cool hand, and said softly: "It's a good thing you've been with me all these years."

There was always a moment when I was a child, I would suddenly feel that a piece of my heart had been dug out, and it was terribly empty.But Zhao Hongyin felt that he was very lucky. Since he met You'an, no matter what happened, his heart was full.Because You An never left, he was always there.

Xu You'an never did not, although he never showed it, he was always afraid of losing Zhao Hongyin.The purpose of his rebirth is Zhao Hongyin, if Zhao Hongyin is gone, what's the point of his rebirth?

Xu Youan held Zhao Hongyin's hand back, finally smiled, and made a vow, "I will be here in the future."

A few days later, Zhao Hongyin personally met with Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War. The two talked in the East Palace all day, but no one knew what the two said.

What.

The emperor can only lament that the East Palace is as solid as gold.

The day before Xu Youan went to the army, Xu Chung came to visit him personally.She already knew about the separation of Xu Youan and Xu Qin.In order to avoid suspicion, she did not enter the Duke's mansion, but went directly to Xu Youan's mansion.

Originally, Xu Chung looked down upon that fellow Xu Qin, even his own younger brother sometimes didn't want to save face.What's more, she will soon be transferred to work with her husband and son-in-law, and it is unknown whether she will be able to return to Jinling in this life.Instead of flattering this useless younger brother, it is better to make friends with the nephew who can talk in front of the prince.

The number of times Xu Chung and Xu Youan met can be counted on one hand, but it is not surprising that she came to visit Xu Youan.He already guessed that Zhao Hongyin must have said something to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War.

After Xu Chung was seated, Taosu served tea for her.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Xu Chung said some polite words first.Xu Youan also patiently accompanied her, he has always had good feelings towards this aunt

"This time the master can take on the post of governor, it all depends on You'an."

Xu Youan didn't deny it either, and smiled slightly.

Since the emperor wanted to charge Zhao Hongyin with the crime of forming a party for personal gain, they would accept it for the time being.

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as uncle allows the people there to live and work in peace and contentment, His Highness will not treat him badly."

Xu Chung nodded seriously, "We know."

Xu Youan took a sip of tea, pretending to be casual and asked, "Where did the crown prince send uncle?"

The land of the Six Kingdoms is vast, so there are naturally more than one governor, and there are good and bad positions among them.Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of War, was personally ordered by the emperor, and was related to Xu You'an, so Zhao Hongyin would not send him to a barren place.

Xu Chung seemed to think of something happy when he heard him ask, and there was some sweetness in his smile.

"His Royal Highness originally wanted to send the master to the fiefdom of Wu State, which is a rich place. But the master thought of me and my father, so he chose the place bordering Xianbei. In this way, I can see my father all the time and relieve the pain of lovesickness." .”

Xu Youan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect his uncle to make such a choice.When he came back to his senses, Xu Youan couldn't help but secretly praised him!If my uncle reunited with my grandfather, then the Xianbei border would really be impenetrable.And the Xu family's influence in Beijing will be even greater!The Xu family had always been on good terms with the crown prince. Uncle's choice made sense and pleased the crown prince. While stabilizing the border, it reassured the emperor and at the same time made him fearful.In this way, the emperor did not dare to move the government easily, at least for the past five years.As for five years later... a lot can be done in five years.

It was only then that Xu You'an realized that his uncle was hiding really deep enough.

"Auntie came here at the behest of my uncle, right?"

Xu Chung's expression changed slightly, and he covered it up with a smile: "How could your uncle want to get these things? Auntie is thinking that we won't see each other for many years, so I came to see You'an."

Xu Youan smiled and exposed her.His uncle told himself his plan through his aunt's mouth.

"Also ask my aunt to go back and tell my uncle. My uncle has all his heart, and You'an will never forget it."

Although Xu Chung didn't understand the twists and turns, but seeing Xu Youan's seriousness, he complied.

After sending Xu Chung away, Xu You'an was going to pack his things and prepare to report at the army meeting tomorrow.But no, another guest came.Tuoba Xuanxiao walked in quickly and asked non-stop: "You'an's uncle is going to the northeast to take up his post?"

Seeing that he asked urgently, Xu Youan answered immediately.

"When is he leaving?"

"Just these few days, I don't know the exact date..." Xu Youan paused, "Why, brother Tuoba?"

Tuoba Xuanxiao got an affirmative answer, so he nodded, "I want to accompany Rong Qian to the Northeast, it would be much more convenient if the governor is with you on the way... I would like to ask You An to introduce it for you."

It was rare for Xu Youan to see Tuoba Xuanxiao's serious appearance, and he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "You and Mr. Duanmu are going there with something important, do you need our help?"

Tuoba Xuanxiao came to look for him today, so he planned to tell him the matter.

"Rong Qian and I went there to find a medicine. Back then, the expert said that Rong Qian's opportunity was in the Northeast, so he planned to go there."

Xu Youan didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, Duanmu Rongqian helped him a lot, he would never refuse such a request.

"I'm going to the army tomorrow, so it's too abrupt to go to my uncle rashly. I'll write a letter right away, and my uncle won't refuse if you take it with me tomorrow."

Tuoba Xuanxiao naturally knew the emperor's attitude towards this matter, it would be inappropriate for You'an to visit in person.

"Then I would like to thank You An."

"Why do you and I need to thank you? Have you talked to the prince about this?"

Tuoba Xuanxiao shook his head, "I came to you when I heard the news, and I will explain it to the crown prince later." Xu Youan joked, "The crown prince may be reluctant to let you two go."

Tuoba Xuanxiao smiled brightly, "When we find the medicine, we will come back. I can't bear to part with you as a friend." □The author's gossip:
