It must not be a trivial matter to be able to be sent by Xiao Zheng personally, and it must not be a trivial matter to go directly to Tianting without going through Shangshutai, the Son of Heaven frowned, turned his head and instructed the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering to continue to study Tianlei, and he got into his chariot and returned to Weiyang Palace from the school.

It was a cold winter at this time, and it was freezing outside, but there were a lot of stoves lit in the study of the Son of Heaven, but it was as warm as spring, and the Son of Heaven sat on his chair, and while taking out the book from the envelope, he said, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

Xiao Zheng shook his head.

"The border army reported urgently, and it was sent directly to the palace, and His Majesty and the prime ministers of Shangshutai didn't look at it, and the slaves and maids naturally didn't dare to look at it."

The Son of Heaven did not speak, and after Zhan Xin finished reading it, he frowned.

"The Ubun Department is not honest."

He closed the book and snorted: "Near Yunzhou, there is a small group of Xianbei people looting on the border, and it is approaching winter, and they have no food, so they come to rob the food of my people of the Great Jin. ”

The Son of Heaven didn't talk to Xiao Zheng, he was just talking to himself.

After frowning and thinking for a while, he spoke: "Go and bring the old man and the household department, the two Shangshu of the military department, and come to the palace." ”

Xiao Zheng immediately nodded and said respectfully: "The slave maid will go." ”

It's now the afternoon, it's not time to get off duty, several prime ministers and hall officials, are in their respective yamen official offices in the imperial city, Xiao Zheng personally went to Shangshutai, and sent a few eunuchs in Tsing Yi to the military department and the household department, not long after, the three court members were already standing at the door of Weiyang Palace, Zhou Yuan, the head of the household department, and Xu Zhen, the new secretary of the military department, first glanced at each other, and then bowed to the ram Shu.

"The lower officer has seen the servant shoot."

The six departments are directly subordinate to Shangshutai, and they are all subordinates of Ram Shu, but there are too many affairs in the court, and Shangshutai generally only cares about big things, and the affairs of the six departments are generally solved by the six departments themselves, so the authority of the six Shangshu is extremely heavy.

Ram Shu is nearly eighty years old at this time, although there is no major problem with his body, but his legs and feet are a little unfavorable, and his ears are a little uncomfortable.

After listening to the words of the two Shangshu, he nodded.

"The two Shangshu are polite, Your Majesty summons each other, let's go in."

The two Shangshu supported the ram Shu and entered the study of the Son of Heaven in the Weiyang Palace, and before they could kneel down after entering the study, the Son of Heaven waved his hand, signaling that they did not need to salute.

"Xiao Zheng, move three chairs here."

Soon, the three piers were placed under the buttocks of the three ministers, and the Son of Heaven reached out and handed the book of the farmer to Xiao Zheng, and said, "Give the ram servant and two Shangshu to take a look." ”

Xiao Zheng bent down and passed the book to the old ram, and the ram Shu respectfully took it and slowly flipped through it.

Just when he was looking through it, the Son of Heaven said: "This is a kind of old general sent someone to rush back to Beijing military report, from October to now less than two months, the Xianbei Department on the border of Yunzhou, there have been several incidents of looting my people in the Great Jin Dynasty, the old general sent someone to write to King Yan, asking the cause, the latter said that it was done by the people of the Qigui Department, and it has nothing to do with their royal account. ”

Speaking of which, the Son of Heaven has some slight anger.

"The Qigui Department in the Yuwen Department has been swallowed by Yuwen Zhao as early as the First Emperor Dynasty, but now it is pushed on the head of the Qigui Department, Yuwen Zhao has submitted to the Great Jin Dynasty on the face, but he doesn't take the court in his eyes at all!"

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "Since this kind of thing has happened in Yunzhou City, then most of the people in Jizhou City will also have it, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

At this time, Ram Shu had already finished reading the recital of Xuantong, he handed the recital to the other two Shangshu, and then bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Xianbei Department has taken captive of my people in the Great Jin Dynasty, which is very hateful, but at this time it is already a cold winter, and it is not easy to use soldiers. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned.

"Naturally, I want to do more, but I still want to do more."

The young son of heaven slowly spoke: "My idea is that there is money from the household department, and the military department will also help to move the people of the Great Jin Dynasty on the border of northern Xinjiang to the territory for a hundred miles, so that there are two passes in Yunzhou and Jizhou to protect the country, and the people of the Xianbei Department will not be able to capture the people of my Great Jin." ”

An ethnic group, the most lacking is people, so the nomads enter the customs to loot, not only to rob money and food, but also to rob women, men, in order to strengthen the group.

Ram Shu and Hubu Shangshu glanced at each other, the latter put down the book in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the people of the Great Jin Dynasty on the northern border, some are military households, some are local herdsmen, and the merchants in the customs go to the north to do business, and they also have to rest in the border towns, and it is indeed useful to migrate to the interior, but it takes too much and takes too much time." ”

Zhou Yuan bowed his head and said: "The minister thinks that he can let the military department think of a way to add more people to the border Fengsui, and the two border armies in Yunzhou and Jizhou should also actively protect the border people, as for the relocation, ......"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "This matter can be done slowly, but it can't be done overnight, the border of my Northern Jin Dynasty stretches for thousands of miles, and the local yamen is responsible for the relocation and resettlement, and the household department will pay for it, and the treasury will be empty." ”

In this era, there is no demolition fee, and the biggest difficulty in relocation is resettlement, as well as the need to reallocate land and build houses for these people, which is a thankless task, and the household department is definitely unwilling to do it.

The young Son of Heaven frowned and stood up from the imperial throne.

The emperor got up, and the three ministers did not dare to sit down, and stood up one after another.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi thought for a long time, and finally looked back at Ram Shu, and asked: "Old Xiangguo thinks that the Yuwen Department will be a hidden danger for my Great Jin?" ”

"Naturally, it's a hidden danger for my Dajin."

The old man bent over, stood behind the Son of Heaven, and said slowly: "In the past few years, the old minister has sent people to inquire outside the Guan, after Yuwen Zhao unified the Yuwen Ministry, the population of the Yuwen Ministry has increased a lot in recent years, about more than one million. ”

The old man sighed: "More than a hundred years ago, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty went south to destroy the former Qi, it was about one and a half million people, and today's Xianbei Department is not much different from the Northern Zhou before entering the customs. ”

Speaking of this, the old prime minister paused and continued: "Of course, the former Qi was worried about internal and external troubles, the imperial court was unbearable, the national strength was declining, the border army was unwilling to contribute, and the national fortune was exhausted, far inferior to today's Great Jin. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi snorted.

"I'm a big jin, isn't it internal and external troubles?"

He clenched his fists hard.

"It's hateful, I have to put one hand in the southwest now, otherwise the 100,000 troops in Hanzhong plus Pei Jin's 50,000 people will be transferred to the northern frontier, and Yuwen Zhao will not dare to move a single inch no matter what!"

Ram Shu was silent.

More than 40 years ago, the Yuwen Department was divided into four, and it was slowly unified only a few years ago, and a few years ago, the imperial court had a great opportunity to use troops against the north, at least it could hit the Yuwen Department hard, but unfortunately, due to a series of internal reasons, this matter was never done.

The Son of Heaven spoke slowly.

"Spread my will, and issued an order to appeal to Yuwen Zhao, telling him that if the Xianbei Department dares to kidnap my people again, and take away the prince, after the spring of next year, I will definitely use troops against the northern Xinjiang, so that the Yuwen Department can see my Great Jin Wangshi!"

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven paused and continued.

"Shang Shutai drafted another will and sent it to Yongzhou, telling Taifu that there is an abnormality in northern Xinjiang, and I want to ask him to return to Beijing to the north to conquer."
