fleeting photos

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the Lizhou earthquake. Seeing that the disaster situation has gradually stabilized, the total number of casualties has also been counted, and it is presented on the emperor's case together with the recent situation.

Lizhou Prime Minister Li Zhen performed extraordinary in this disaster, because Zhizhou Song Shize and the commander-in-chief Bai Rong both died in the line of duty, and all affairs were on his shoulders. Before the imperial envoy arrived, he could hardly sleep at night.

Jiang Zhao asked the two imperial envoys for their opinions and confirmed that Li Zhen was a talented person, so he formally ordered him to be the prefect of the state, and sent two young officials from the capital. The official vacancy is also half supervision and half surveillance to ensure that Li Zhen can be a good governor of a state.

As for the former Zhizhou Song Shize and the commander-in-chief Bai Rong, Jiang Zhao was grateful for their love for the people and ordered Li Zhen to build another state government after taking office. A temple was built on the ruins of the original government office to pray for the souls of the dead people in Lizhou. In the temple, set up death plaques for Song Shize and Bai Rong, so that officials of later generations can learn from them, and let the people of Lizhou not forget them.

Jiang Zhao also specifically asked Li Zhen to offer incense on behalf of the emperor after the temple was built to express his condolences.

Not long after, Li Zhen wrote back, saying that he would remember His Majesty's oracle, but now that there is not much relief money left, it will be very difficult to rebuild homes for the people in the future, and the construction of temples has to be put in the back row. I hope His Majesty can understand.

How could Jiang Zhao not understand what he meant, but he was helplessly shy and really had no more money to spend.

Seeing that the date of departure of the military pay is getting closer and closer, and all the officials in the DPRK and China have been plundered by her, and the emperor's private treasury that she was not wealthy in the first place was emptied out. Li Zhen can cry poor to Jiang Zhao, and Jiang Zhao can To whom to cry poor?

She brought it up once to let the officials brainstorm, but everyone had no good idea, and they took turns throwing a big pot, and finally threw it on His Majesty's head, Jiang Zhao was so angry that he gave up and left.

She originally wanted to go back to the bedroom, but was stopped by Yuan Xiang halfway, saying that Han Xueshi was waiting in the imperial study.

So Yu Jia went to the imperial study room, and as soon as Jiang Zhao stepped into the hall, Han Xuan couldn't wait to greet him, bowed his hands, and said happily: "Your Majesty, the turning point has come!"

"What turning point?" Jiang Zhao didn't react for a while.

Han Xuandao: "The turning point for disaster relief funds, the turning point for the food and salaries of the armed forces, has come!"

Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he was talking about. He couldn't help but beam with joy, and hurriedly asked, "What's the turning point? Come with me quickly."

"Please look at this, Your Majesty."

Han Xuan was not in a hurry to explain, but took out a folded paper from his sleeve, and respectfully presented it to Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao smiled slightly, and while taking the paper, he said impatiently: "Is there anything that I can't speak out, I have to beat around the bush, and what should I see?"

She opened the folded paper, only to realize that it was an article, with the title at the top, and what was written was: Letter to the world.

Jiang Zhao became interested, and stopped complaining about Han Xuan. While reading the article, he went to the case and read through the article, which was not too long, but with fine words and deafening sentences.

The article was written for the disaster situation in Lizhou. It is short but to the point. It describes the purgatory on earth in just a few sentences. , Orbital fever.

And the purpose of this article is also very obvious, to persuade the rich people in the world, and even ordinary people, to love their compatriots, from themselves to others, to do their best, to extend a helping hand, so as to tell the heaven and earth that the world is of the same origin.

"Drips of water form rivers, and rivers converge into great rivers... What a good article. Do you know who made this?"

Jiang Zhao pressed the article and looked up at Han Xuan.

Han Xuan said with a smile: "I know that your majesty is very thirsty for talents, but the most important thing in this article is not to have the top talent, but to actually solve your majesty's urgent needs."

"how do I say this?"

"This article has been widely spread, and it can be seen everywhere in the state capitals near Lizhou, which has attracted the attention of many gentry.

Whether they were really persuaded by the article, or compared with each other for a good reputation, the purpose of this article has been achieved. Since a few days ago, many silver carts with different national emblems and flags have been transported to Lebanon one after another. In Lizhou, there are even many ordinary people who donate generously and spontaneously organize to donate money and materials to help Lizhou. "

Han Xuan's eyebrows were beaming, and the more he talked, the more excited he was. He strode to the front of the case and asserted: "Your Majesty, dripping water forms a river, and the river converges into a great river. If you gather the power of a country, why worry about Lizhou not being able to rebuild, why worry about the lack of food and wages for the three armies?"

Jiang Zhao suddenly realized, stood up abruptly, clapped his palms and sighed, "I will always remember the righteousness of the people in the world."

The big stone that weighed on his heart finally fell to the ground. Jiang Zhao felt that he had never been so brisk before, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed. Even the tedious memorials piled up on the case were much more pleasing to the eye.

Han Xuan also smiled together, and asked again: "Does Your Majesty still want to know the author of that article?"

"Of course I want to know." Jiang Zhao looked at him and sat back on the chair, "If such a genius can't be used by the court, it will be a loss to Dameng. If you know who it is, don't let it go and ask me to pay attention to thatched cottage three times." Also makes."

Han Xuandao: "I do know who it is. Your Majesty may know who it is, but you may not have seen it."

"Who are you talking about?"

"The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xie Yuzhe."

"Who?"

Not long after Jiang Zhao just sat down, he stood up again in shock. Han Xuan was a little confused, so he felt that His Majesty's reaction was too big, but since His Majesty asked, he could only reply again: "This article was published back then. It was written by Xie Yuzhe, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was sentenced to exile by the late emperor for several major crimes of accepting bribes and buying and selling official positions."

"It turned out to be him..."

Jiang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, causing Han Xuan to look puzzled, and called: "Your Majesty?"

"I got it." Jiang Zhao looked at Han Xuan appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Han Qing, you brought me so much good news today, I have to reward you with something, tell me, what do you want? "

Han Xuan was really happy to see her, he just thought it was because of his worries, and he got another capable person, so he didn't think about it, let alone being polite to her, he opened his mouth and said: "A few days ago, your majesty passed a decree to let my minister solve the problem of life. It's a big deal, but your Majesty, you also know that I have left the family a long time ago, and I'm just a small book repairer with a low salary, and I still live in a rented house, what do I have to marry a wife?"

"Hearing what you said, do you have someone you like?" Jiang Zhao was quite interested in his words, and joked: "You are not young anymore, Biejiaerlang is as old as you, and he has already been the father of the child, only you You are all alone, and you look so pitiful, which girl is so kind and willing to be your daughter-in-law?"

Han Xuan is not thin-skinned, and he is not ashamed to be teased by her. Instead, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, but I have no intention of life all these years, isn't it just to stand up for Your Majesty? You reward me with a house to house my wife, it doesn't count." Is it too much?"

"There are some empty houses in Wanshunfang and Yongningfang. You go and inquire about those that are hung in the public house. Where do you like them? Let Xiao Yuanzi sign the deed for you, so you don't need to ask my opinion anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Han Xuan immediately knelt down and gave Jiang Zhao a big gift with joy visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Zhao said with a look of disgust: "Okay, okay, I rewarded you with gold and silver and property in the early years, but you were arrogant and refused to accept it. Now you know what it's like to have no money to spend?"

"Weichen can live alone in the streets and alleys, but if he has a family, how can he make others suffer?"

"That's quite a good point. When you get married, I'll give you more gifts as a basis for your wife's management of the housekeeper in the future. When someone marries you, they can't just live in an empty house."

Han Xuan was clicked, and said a little ashamedly: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and I will thank you again."

Jiang Zhao raised his hand, signaling him to stand up.

"You have worked so hard for me all these years, so there is no need to thank you for these small things.

It's also a good time for you to come today. I will summon you again. I have a plan for you. I need to listen to your opinion. "

"What is your Majesty's will, do you need to ask this official? I dare not have any opinions." Han Xuan stood on one side with his hands in his hands. Even though he said this, he murmured in his heart, wondering what principle His Majesty wanted him to break.

He never asked his opinion on the matter of entrapping the Zhao family, but this time, Han Xuan was even more frightened.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Zhao first gave him a sweet jujube, and praised: "I got Han Qing, just like Jin Anzong got Wei Feng. And I am luckier than Jin Anzong, Wei Feng is taller, just for him I have been making plans for 12 years, but Han Qing is young, strong, upright and virtuous, at least he can devote himself to Dameng for another 40 years, every time I think about it, I am very relieved."

Jin'anzong was the founder of the last prosperous age of the previous dynasty. When he ascended the throne due to external and internal troubles, he waited for three months in the wilderness and deep forest as the emperor, and finally moved the reclusive great Confucian Wei Feng to come out of the mountain to help him. He makes things happen.

The two monarchs and ministers worked together to help the former Jin building in the future, and worked together to extend the life of the Jin Dynasty for a hundred years. It was passed down by later generations and became a model for the emperor, sage and minister.

Jiang Zhao compared Han Xuan to Wei Feng, which showed that he really valued him. Compared himself to Jin Anzong, it can be said that he assured Han Xuan of his absolute trust in him.

So even though based on his understanding of His Majesty, he knew that there must be deceit in her words, but Han Xuan still felt flattered, and quickly expressed his loyalty: "It is also a blessing for me to meet such a wise king as Your Majesty. "

Jiang Zhao saw that his attitude was very correct, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You have selected a lot of capable ministers for me, and they will all be reused. Although you can only hide behind others for the time being due to status issues, I respect you Guaranteed, one day, your name, Han Xuan, will definitely rank first among all officials, just like Wei Feng, it will be preserved forever."

Han Xuan didn't expect Jiang Zhao to say these words to him, he was so moved that he couldn't express it, his eyes were slightly red.

From the moment he surrendered himself to Jiang Zhao and was assigned to the Hanlin Academy, he understood Jiang Zhao's plan and made full plans to become a bachelor of book editing for the rest of his life.

It is true that as long as Jiang Zhao is willing to be a wise king, then Han Xuan is also willing to be an anonymous aide. In his heart, the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is far more important than his own reputation.

But after all, he is young and vigorous, and has great ambitions. Throughout the ages, which literati can refuse to leave his name in history?

In the past, Jiang Zhao didn't give him a choice, so he could only accept it silently, but now Jiang Zhao not only gave him a choice, but also gave him the possibility he wanted most. How could he not have mixed feelings?

"Your Majesty..." Han Xuan saluted deeply, not knowing what words to use to express his inner emotion.

His reaction was as expected by Jiang Zhao. The young empress leaned against the throne, her eyes were dark, her voice was calm, and she said with a smile: "Han Qing, you can be the emperor's teacher."

This evaluation was too high, Han Xuan was shocked, and quickly knelt down on the ground again, kowtowing: "I don't dare!"

He knew that although he had some knowledge, he was indeed a few years older than the Holy One, but no matter what, he did not dare to call himself the emperor's teacher.

After all, the position of Taifu in the Great Meng Dynasty was detached. Not every emperor would be canonized as Taifu. The last one was the teacher of Emperor Taizong. He is a real legend and a model of scholars in the world.

Wei Feng is already a historical figure, Han Xuan dares to be proud of standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and also strives endlessly for it, but Lin Guan is still alive now, like a giant mountain deep in the sea, no one dares to stand up to him.

Han Xuan felt that His Majesty really became addicted to wearing a high hat for him, and the emotion just now turned into pressure to some extent.

But Jiang Zhao said: "Don't react so strongly. I said that you can be the emperor's teacher, but I didn't say that I would make you my tutor. Han Qing, don't be so brainy, and take a long-term view."

Han Xuan vaguely understood what she meant, but he was still more confused. He raised his head and looked at His Majesty who was sitting behind the imperial case, and couldn't help but said: "My humble minister is dull, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Jiang Zhao said meaningfully: "Zhao Heng can be the elder of the three dynasties. Does Han Qing only intend to assist me alone?"

"Your Majesty means... plan to establish a crown prince?" Han Xuan widened his eyes, and said in disbelief, "Have you figured it out? Didn't you have a quarrel with Zhao Xiang because of the big wedding a few months ago, why suddenly... ..."

"Suddenly what?" Jiang Zhao asked back: "You think I'm going to get married and give birth to a child for you to take care of?"

Han Xuan nodded slightly, as a tacit consent.

He didn't see Jiang Zhao's expression, only heard her chuckle, and said in a cold voice: "Han Xuan, take time to correct your bad habits, you don't need to think too much, just do what I have told you. .”

Hearing the words, Han Xuan felt a chill down his back, and his neck was wet, so he quickly kowtowed and said, "My minister obeys the order."

It's another day of scheming Han Xueshi, pure tool man
