In the decades of the Great Jin Dynasty, the system of the imperial court has changed several times, the official system of the Great Jin Dynasty is strictly divided into the inner dynasty and the outer dynasty, the inner dynasty is divided into the middle secretary and the scholar, and the outer dynasty is the prime minister's office, the role of the middle scholar and the scholar is very delicate, sometimes the power of the middle secretary is large, sometimes the power of the scholar is large, and today's power structure is that the middle secretary is almost an institution that drafts edicts, and the Shangshutai is the most powerful decision-making body, and the prime minister's office on behalf of the outer dynasty is responsible for handling this government affairs, and the power is greatly weakened.

Shangshu is in a high position, Qiu Yun is Emperor Taiding's trusted minister, even if Pan Lian is dissatisfied, he can't do anything about him for a while.

The reason why Qiu Yun did not approve was because he felt that this matter was strange, he was not familiar with the prince of Qi, he returned to the dynasty a few years ago to report on his work, and he had met the prince of Qi, but the prince was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, but whether the prince was in Qi or in the imperial capital, the reputation was very good, but why did this happen? Qiu Yun felt that this was the move of the king of Qi to avoid trouble.

In this case, Qiu Yun felt that he could help him, cutting the lord would be too heavy, and reducing the domain could weaken his strength and reduce the emperor's suspicion.

Qiuyun has his own judgment on the court situation, after the emperor ascended the throne, he frequently made major decisions, on the surface, because the imperial treasury was empty, but in fact, the emperor wanted to change the court, this change was tried to do when the emperor was still the prince, but was strongly opposed by the gate lord clan, so it was forcibly interrupted by Emperor Taiding.

Qiu Yun felt in a dilemma about the emperor's measures, and he was in favor of cleaning up Du Zhicao, but he felt that he was a little too hasty in the inventory of land and the reform of salt administration, especially the inventory of land, which touched the entire scholar class, and he instinctively felt that the matter of Chen Guo was not over.

"The emperor invites you to the imperial study. ”

The sound of the little yellow door came from the door, the three of them followed the little yellow door out, the three of them didn't speak, they didn't ask the little yellow door for news on this occasion, the three of them followed silently, the little yellow door that led the way was very interesting, and it was not fast, Pan Lian and Zuo Chen were still able to keep up.

Shangshutai is the emperor's decision-making body, it is not far from Shangshutai to the imperial study, it will not take long to arrive, Xiaohuangmen stands at the door, and the three of them walked into the imperial study only to see that Taiwei Pan Ji has arrived.

After seeing the ceremony, Pan Ji peeked at Pan Ji, Pan Ji frowned slightly, as if something was very difficult, and then looked at the emperor's expression, he also frowned, and there was a faint anger.

"Your Majesty, this is...," Pan Lian asked tentatively.

The emperor hesitated slightly, then sighed softly, looked at the four people in the room and said slowly: "You are all auxiliary ministers left by my father to me, since you ascended the throne, the state affairs have been difficult, thanks to the great help of the secretaries, you can barely maintain, but I didn't expect that the Taiwei begged me today, and I don't know what is wrong with it. ”

Pan Lian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward: "The emperor said seriously, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has eaten and dressed, is diligent and loves the people, and all the people know it, how can there be any immorality, the emperor, the minister doesn't know why the captain resigned, but the minister can guarantee that the captain is loyal to the emperor." ”

The emperor's expression was still cold, Qiu Yun didn't speak, he sighed in his heart, he glanced at Pan Ji, and Pan Ji didn't distinguish and stood there with his head bowed.

Zuo Chen frowned, Pan Ji's resignation was also unexpected by him, he looked at Pan Ji and asked in a deep voice, "Lord Taiwei, why are you doing this?"

Pan Ji raised his head, looked at Zuo Chen and then at Qiuyun, and sighed softly: "The ministers are horses, the first emperor uses ministers, it is an expedient measure, after the emperor ascends the throne, the ministers use ministers, and the ministers deeply feel the kindness of the emperor, but the horses can't pull the cart. ”

The emperor sighed softly, and was about to speak, Pan Ji knelt down in his robe and kowtowed, looked up at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister said to the first emperor, my Pan family has become extremely rich, the woman is the queen mother, the brother is the princess, the master is in charge of the Shangshutai, and the minister is in charge of the Taiwei, this is not in line with the system, the emperor, the first emperor used the minister, it was for safety, and today the minister is peaceful, and the minister is in charge of the Taiwei Mansion, which is really inappropriate." ”

Speaking of this, Pan Ji sighed heavily, with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, this is the heartfelt words of the ministers, and I also ask the emperor's ministers to invite you." ”

Qiu Yun was greatly impressed when he heard this, and with this vision, Pan Ji was much stronger than Pan Lian.

Zuo Chen didn't have the excitement just now, sighed slightly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Pan Lian was very angry in his heart, he had been counting on Pan Ji's support, Pan Ji was the auxiliary minister, Counselor Shang Shutai, he had long regarded it as his greatest support, but he didn't expect to retreat at this time.

But what should I say? Pan Ji actually said everything, and Pan Lian didn't know what to say for a while.

The emperor's expression eased slightly, but his brows furrowed, and after a little contemplation, he said: "You get up, Pan Aiqing, don't be worried and ridiculed, the first emperor trusts you, and I also trust you, Taiwei Mansion, you still give me good control." ”

"Your Majesty!" Pan Ji raised his head and burst into tears.

"Get up. The emperor said that he went over and helped Pan Ji up, comforted him, and then turned around and picked up a book and asked: "The imperial history impeached King Qi, Pan Aiqing, and Shang Shutai disagreed, let's discuss it and see how to deal with it?"

The emperor's words were too fast, neither Pan Lian nor Qiu Yun Zuochen was prepared, the emperor looked at the three of them, and picked up two pieces of paper: "Taishi and Teacher Zuo's opinion is to cut the lord, Qiu Aiqing's opinion is to cut the ground, Taiwei, what is Aiqing's opinion?"

Pan Ji wiped away his tears, took the two pieces of paper, thought about it after reading it, and said: "The minister agrees with General Qiu's opinion, this is just an elegant thing, if it is not for the King of Qi during the mourning period, there is nothing wrong." ”

The emperor nodded, turned his head to look at Pan Lian and asked, "The meaning of the Taishi and the teacher is to cut the Jue, the Taishi, tell me your reasons." ”

"I rule the world with filial piety in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the King of Qi did such an immoral thing during the mourning period, how to explain it to the subjects of the world without serious punishment, and the ministers thought that they had to be punished severely!" Pan Lian said solemnly.

The emperor looked at Zuo Chen, and Zuo Chen also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, today, the family of gate valves, Shilin students, the wind of absurdity and extravagance is prevalent, and the king of Qi is punished heavily, which is intended to correct this trend and play a role in setting things right." ”

The emperor knew in his heart that Zuo Chen was extremely dissatisfied with the kind of empty talk and absurdity advocated by Shilin today, and every time he mentioned it, he had to criticize it strictly, and now that he had such an opportunity, of course he would not let it go.

"Qiu Aiqing is still that opinion?"

Qiuyun nodded: "Your Majesty, the King of Qi's move did not violate the law, painting on women, I have heard before, he did not violate the law of mourning, and cutting the domain, this punishment is already very heavy, the territory of the Qi State has been reduced to the scope of the county, this move can show the world the emperor's benevolence." ”

The emperor didn't speak, he looked out the window blankly, to be honest, he really wanted to completely solve the problem of King Qi, but Qiuyun and Pan Ji were opposed, especially Qiuyun's last sentence, declaring his leniency to the people of the world, which was very attractive.

The emperor knew very well that Chen Guoqing's land and Duzhicao's account checks had shaken the gate valve family, and these gate valve families were fluctuating, secretly, I didn't know what they were planning, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, since this is the case, then let's compete.

In the middle of the ring, the emperor made up his mind, turned to look at Qiu Yun and shook his head slightly: "What Qiu Qing said is that King Qi's move is very inappropriate, but it is absurd, I don't need to punish it seriously, I will issue a strict reprimand, and in addition, I will be fined for half a year." ”

"Your Majesty!" Pan Lian exclaimed puzzledly, and Zuo Chen also shouted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, such a light indulgence is infinitely harmful, please think twice!"

"The emperor is benevolent!" Qiu Yun bowed calmly, and Zuo Chen shouted dissatisfiedly again: "General Qiu!"

"Lord Zuo," Qiu Yun replied calmly, "It is appropriate for the emperor to deal with it like this, King Qi is not really close to women, but only paints on women, which is different from being close to women." ”

"The minister also thinks so," Pan Ji also agreed: "Your Majesty, it's very good to deal with it like this,...

The emperor interrupted him, waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, this matter is like this, Taiwei Pan, Lord Qiu suggested sending 20,000 people out of the fortress, what do you think?"

"20,000 people?" Pan Ji looked at Qiu Yun puzzled, so Qiu Yun explained his idea, and finally said: "The flaw of this plan is that Fang Da can command the army, but if you want to mediate the contradictions between the tribes on the grassland, it will not work, and the imperial court needs to send another big man." ”

Pan Ji thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Qiu's strategy is feasible, but the army does not need to send 20,000, the minister's suggestion is 10,000, in addition, 10,000 are assembled at the border, and at the same time, it is ordered that the state side should also be assembled at the border, in addition, Yongzhou and the state should gather troops to the border on a large scale." ”

"Wait, wait," Pan Lian interrupted him, "We have so many troops, and the imperial court doesn't have so much money and food." ”

"Therefore, we have to deceive," Pan Ji said: "The imperial court has no money and food to support the battle, and whether it is 10,000 or 20,000, the troops are insufficient, so it is better to deceive, we continue to increase troops to the border, but this is not a real increase in troops, but a fake increase in troops, increase troops during the day, withdraw troops at night, the camp is built bigger and bigger, and the grain and grass are collected more and more, so it creates a momentum, Yongzhou wants to send 100,000 troops, and the state sends 100,000 troops, creating a momentum and forcing the Hu people to comply. ”

The more the emperor listened, the more solemn his expression became, this strategy was very risky, more risky than Qiuyun's strategy, in case it was discovered by the Hu clan, the 10,000 troops and important ministers of the court would be in danger.

In addition, the minister recommended the king of Qin or the king of Taiyuan as an envoy, the king of Qin lived in Yongzhou for a long time, and the king of Taiyuan commanded the border army of the state, which had a deterrent effect on the desert. ”

Pan Ji added that Qiu Yun also looked solemn, but he thought differently from the emperor, he felt that this strategy was feasible, as long as he was careful, he was seventy percent sure that he would deceive the Hu people, but it was to let the King of Qin and the King of Taiyuan be the envoys, which....

Before he could think about it, the emperor was already looking at him: "Qiu Aiqing, what do you think of Taiwei's strategy?"

Qiuyun didn't have time to think about it, and replied after thinking about it: "Minister, I think it's feasible, but this candidate still needs to be considered." ”

"Is there another candidate for Qiu Aiqing?" the emperor asked, Qiu Yun shook his head: "Minister, there is no better candidate, but, the emperor, the king of Qin has a noble status, and he has been guarding Yongzhou for a long time, if he goes to the desert, what will happen to Yongzhou?

The emperor was originally very happy, but at this time, he was also silent, originally he belonged to King Qin, but when Qiuyun asked like this, he suddenly hesitated, after thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind, his eyes turned, and when he saw Gonggong Mu, he asked.

"Gonggong Mu, what do you think?King Qin's envoy, is it okay?">++ Important notice of this site: The free APP of this site, no ads, no errors, fast updates, member synchronization bookshelf, text size adjustment, reading brightness adjustment, better reading experience, please pay attention to the WeChat public account appxsyd (press and hold three seconds to copy) Download the free reader!
