These words are simple and direct, and the two monarchs and ministers know it. There are many contradictions between the Liangzhou scholars and the Shandong scholars, when Xianbei invaded and occupied most of Liangzhou, the Liangzhou people flew to the imperial capital one after another asking for help, but the Shandong scholars who controlled the government proposed to abandon the strategy of Liangzhou and stick to Yongzhou, and ordered the people of Liangzhou to withdraw into Yongzhou.

The news reached Liangzhou, the people of Liangzhou were in an uproar, almost turned against the imperial court, several Liangzhou gate lords rebelled against Xianbei, and after the imperial court quelled the Xianbei rebellion, these gate lords were listed as rebels and were expelled from the scholars, and the Liangzhou scholars jointly reported, but were vetoed by the Shandong scholars who controlled the government.

The people of Liangzhou have not forgotten all this, and the imperial court also knows it, so it has become an unspoken rule not to let the people of Liangzhou serve as the governor of Liangzhou and the general of Qiang.

Emperor Taiding nodded slightly, and after a while, he suddenly asked again: "Why not Qiu Ge?"

"He's too young, and he can take over for another ten years. Qiuyun replied calmly, Emperor Taiding was silent again, and after a long while, he sighed: "The stability of Liangzhou is not inside or outside, so let's be upright." ”

Qiuyun remained silent, this choice is difficult, both of them are not perfect, they both have weaknesses, he also took into account that Liangzhou is stable inside and outside, so he finally chose Duanmu Zheng, of course, there is another factor that plays a vital role.

"What is the name of the trading company you mentioned in the song?" asked Emperor Taiding.

"Hanhai Trading Company," Qiu Yun explained, "this trading company has a history of nearly ten years in Liangzhou, the original head office is located in the Western Regions, a few months ago the owner of the trading company returned to my Dajin, I have seen this person, I am a native of Dajin, in the early years because of poverty in the Western Regions trade route. Hanhai Trading Company is one of the largest trading companies in Liangzhou and has a good reputation, so I will leave the matter of transporting grain to them. ”

Emperor Taiding nodded slightly: "You have seen this person, called." ”

"Liu Han. Qiuyun replied: "I am a native of the Great Jin Dynasty, my parents died in my early years, I was adopted by a merchant and brought to Liangzhou from the Central Plains, the merchant met a horse thief on the trade route in the Western Regions, he escaped by luck and wandered to the Western Regions, first working in various caravans, and then gradually became a caravan himself, and gradually developed into a Hanhai trading company. ”

Emperor Taiding nodded lightly: "This person is a bit of a cultivator." ”

The whole edict was right, Qiuyun didn't ask any questions, and kept answering Emperor Taiding's questions, Emperor Taiding asked Liangzhou, then Yongzhou, and finally asked the questions of the displaced people in Yongliang and Liangzhou.

"King Qin is on a sparse move, and he wants to let go of the shade, you see. Emperor Taiding pushed down the music in front of him slightly, and the little eunuch on the side hurriedly took it to Qiuyun, Qiuyun took it and opened it and read it carefully, thinking while reading, Emperor Taiding took advantage of this time to drink a bowl of ginseng soup, and his spirit recovered slightly.

After Qiuyun watched the recital, he couldn't help but lament in his heart, all the way back from Liangzhou, there was a section of the road that had not yet taken the post road, and he saw countless displaced people, the situation of these displaced people was extremely miserable, Liangzhou was a border stopper, the control was relatively strict, relatively speaking, there were more resettlement methods for the displaced people, so the problem of displaced people in Liangzhou was not very serious, but Yongzhou was different, and the problem of displaced people was very serious.

"Yongzhou this year's Yongbei snow disaster, Longnan drought, and Bingzhou drought, the victims fled to Yongzhou, and the pressure on the King of Qin is very great," Qiuyun considered the wording, he couldn't and didn't dare to leave Emperor Taiding with the speculation that he had a private connection with the King of Qin: "The minister also saw it along the way, the displaced people are everywhere, the king of Qin estimated that there were about 100,000 displaced people in Yongzhou, and the minister thought that his estimate was optimistic, and the minister estimated that there were 15 to 200,000. ”

Emperor Taiding's eyes were half open and half closed, looking as if he was asleep, Qiuyun didn't dare to stop, and still continued: "These displaced people and disaster victims have to be relieved, King Qin proposed this method, I am afraid that the Yongzhou treasury has no money and no food, he really has no choice, in the long run, this policy is a big trouble, but in the short term, this policy can digest a large number of displaced people from all over Yongzhou and the state, if the imperial court can be full of the treasury in two or three years, then abolish this policy." ”

Qiuyun is both civil and military, familiar with the scriptures, history and Taoism, and is more clear about the disputes between various factions within the court, as well as the crux of today's contradictions, so he knows the pros and cons of what King Qin said in this letter.

"So you agree with his proposal. Emperor Taiding said slowly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Qiu Yun's back, but his expression did not hesitate: "Yes, Your Majesty, the displaced people must be appeased, otherwise if they get together, there will be trouble." ”

Emperor Taiding didn't speak, still closed his eyes slightly, Qiuyun understood that as soon as this strategy was opened, the imperial court would inevitably lose a large number of people, and Emperor Taiding was worried about this. He opened his mouth to persuade him, but closed it again.

"If you have anything to say, when will you Qiuyun also learn to look at my face and speak. ”

"The minister thought that although this policy has the suspicion of drinking to quench thirst, but if the court can't come up with money and grain, even if the wine can only be drunk, the minister knows that His Majesty is worried, so the minister thinks, you can issue an edict, only in Liangyong and the three states to implement this policy, in addition, and then stipulate a time, one year, this policy can only be implemented for one year, in addition, the money of the shade household, can also be increased by three percent. ”

Qiu Yun sighed inwardly, feeling like a human trafficker, making a human transaction with the Gate Lords clan.

In addition, the minister thought that it could be more relaxed, and the Shu people could also collect shade households, and the money and grain paid by the Shu people could be lower. ”

After a long time, Emperor Taiding patted the book case lightly: "This is the old Cheng Mouguo, the old Cheng Mouguo, Qiu Qing, you are really the pillar of me." ”

The Shu people are not exempt from taxes, although the land occupied by the Shu people is not as good as the mountain Shi people, but the sand can be accumulated into a tower, in terms of the overall quantity, the land occupied by the Shu people is not much different from the Shi people, the Shu people have collected the shade households, it is necessary to expand the cultivated land, and compete for land with the Shi people, so that the loss of land and population will slow down, and the court tax will not fall too fast.

Emperor Taiding also wanted to say that the middle-aged eunuch came in and reminded softly that the time had been very long, and it was time for the emperor to rest.

"Look, say a few more words, and they will make irresponsible remarks, alas, Qiuqing, you are still young, you have to take care of yourself, don't be like me. ”

"Thank you for your care, and your majesty will retire! Your Majesty will rest in peace. Qiuyun knelt down, Emperor Taiding raised his hand slightly, let Qiuyun step forward, Qiuyun walked over, Emperor Taiding held his hand, and said softly: "Qiuqing, the court is still long, you can rest for a few days, take care of your body and bones, and you will have a will for you in a few days." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Taiding stood behind the bookcase, and Qiuyun knocked goodbye again, and after exiting the door, he turned to leave. As soon as Qiuyun's back disappeared in the courtyard, Emperor Taiding's body was weak, and he collapsed in the arms of the middle-aged eunuch, who was so frightened that he hurriedly called in a few little eunuchs, and several people helped Emperor Taiding to the bed.

"Quick, bring the ginseng soup, hurry up and bring the ginseng soup!" The middle-aged eunuch was so anxious that he kicked the little eunuch, there were already preparations outside, and the ginseng soup was soon sent in, and the middle-aged eunuch was so anxious that he wanted to shed tears, and his hand holding the ginseng soup trembled, and it was easy to send it to Emperor Taiding's mouth.

Reluctantly drank the ginseng soup, the middle-aged eunuch put Emperor Taiding flat, and the imperial doctor also arrived at this time, the middle-aged eunuch called the imperial doctor, Emperor Taiding waved his hand to say no, and the middle-aged eunuch whispered in the ear of Emperor Taiding: "Your Majesty, let the imperial doctor take a look." ”

Emperor Taiding closed his eyes for a long time before he whispered: "No, no, I know in my heart, it's not time yet." ”

The middle-aged eunuch wanted to say something, Emperor Taiding's eyes opened and glared at him, the middle-aged eunuch had no choice but to come over and whisper to the imperial doctor, waiting outside, Emperor Taiding signaled with his eyes, the middle-aged eunuch leaned over, Emperor Taiding whispered a few words in his ear, and the middle-aged eunuch nodded again and again.

"Go and invite the old ancestor to come over, Your Majesty will summon you!"

The little eunuch rushed out, the middle-aged eunuch looked at Emperor Taiding nervously, Emperor Taiding closed his eyes, and a layer of red appeared on his face, which was a sign of the effectiveness of ginseng soup, the middle-aged eunuch breathed lightly, and looked at the beads of sweat on Emperor Taiding's forehead, and he carefully wiped it off for him.

When Gonggong Mu rushed over, Emperor Taiding's had eased up, but his demeanor was still a little tired, Gonggong Mu was in a hurry, sweat wet a large piece of his back, and when he saw Emperor Taiding, he hurriedly rushed to Emperor Taiding's bed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't scare me, don't scare me!"

Emperor Taiding opened his eyes, looked at the faithful servant, and whispered, "Get up, I'm fine." ”

Gonggong Mu looked up at Emperor Taiding, hurriedly got up, didn't bother to wipe his sweat and tears, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your ,., prince hasn't come back yet!"

"Don't worry, I'll be able to hold it. Emperor Taiding's voice was weak, and he looked at Gonggong Mu: "After so many years, you are still so hairy, how did I teach you." ”

Father-in-law Mu hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve, and then said, "Your Majesty, let the imperial doctor check first." ”

Emperor Taiding's eyes were very weak but very firm to object, and Gonggong Mu knew that he was the master, so he didn't insist anymore, so he said: "Your Majesty, you can rest first, and then talk about it later." ”

Emperor Taiding didn't speak, his eyes were closed, Mu Gonggong glanced at the middle-aged eunuch, and the two quietly retreated to the courtyard, and Mu Gonggong asked the middle-aged eunuch what was going on? The middle-aged eunuch told him about summoning Qiuyun today.

"This Qiuyun is too, I gave him a look, but he just ignored it, and after talking about the west, he said that King Qin's twists and turns, and he didn't finish talking. The middle-aged eunuch complained.

Hearing this, Father-in-law Mu couldn't help but sigh, and glanced at the room, the middle-aged eunuch was still complaining about Qiuyun for not knowing compassion for the emperor, and Father-in-law Mu interrupted him: "Don't say it again." Pause: "This Qiuyun is a smart person." ”

Father-in-law Mu looked up and saw the imperial doctor, and told the imperial doctor not to talk about today's affairs, and then let the imperial doctor go back.

Before evening, Emperor Taiding woke up and called Gonggong Mu in, at this time Emperor Taiding had recovered, and Gonggong Mu helped him up and leaned on the head of the bed.

"That note, when the prince comes back, after reading it, ask him what he means, and don't approve it for the time being. Emperor Taiding first said the treatment of King Qin's son, and Gonggong Mu nodded to show that he understood, and he asked carefully: "What about Qiuyun?"

Emperor Taiding thought for a while: "He is still loyal to the imperial court,.。。 ”

Gonggong Mu hesitated and asked cautiously, "That.."

"Taiding Zhongxing, Taiding Zhongxing," Emperor Taiding muttered to himself: "There are not a few old ministers left, the prince is too strong, and if he is rigid, he is easy to break, and someone has to help him." ”

Father-in-law Mu understood in his heart, the emperor's mind changed, and he asked carefully: "These days, Qiuyun is very honest, and when he arrived at Luoshuiyi, he closed the door to thank the guests, and no one was allowed to go out. ”

"Qiu Ge didn't go out either?"

"No, no one is allowed to go out every day except the people who are buying. Father-in-law Mu said in a low voice.

"I guess it's suffocated. A smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Taiding's mouth, it seemed that Qiu Ge's reputation had also reached his ears, and after being silent for a while, Emperor Taiding spoke again: "Who are the people who go to see Qiu Yun?"

"The ministers of the court, the uncle, the prime minister, and the king of Qi all sent people, by the way, and Fang returned to Duan Chang. Father-in-law Mu replied, as soon as Qiu Yun lived in Luoshui Station, the internal guards fully monitored the entire post station, and he was clear about every move in the post station.

"Fang Hui Duan Chang, what are they going to do?" Emperor Taiding frowned slightly, and asked with some dissatisfaction. Father-in-law Mu didn't answer, he knew very well that those who could say and those who couldn't say that his position was very delicate and could not be crossed slightly.

"This Duan Chang, you send someone to warn him, I don't know how to be quiet when I return to the court, headless flies, run blind!"

Gonggong Mu hurriedly agreed, and secretly scolded this Duan Chang in his heart, he was still so reckless when he arrived in the imperial capital, and now the imperial capital are you walking casually? Walking around, I don't know if I fell into that pit.

"Isn't King Qi too active lately!" After complaining about Duan Chang, Emperor Taiding began to complain about his younger brother again, and Gonggong Mu asked tentatively: "Do you want the slave to send someone to remind him." ”

Emperor Taiding was silent for a while, and snorted softly: "Isn't he a virtuous king, he will return to the court, and he must not care." ”

Gonggong Mu didn't dare to speak again, and listened silently, Emperor Taiding sneered, sighed, and hesitated for a long time: "Let King Qi return to the vassal kingdom." ”

Gonggong Mu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, is it too early for King Qi to return to the vassal kingdom now?"

Emperor Taiding hesitated, King Qi is his most beloved brother, when the emperor was alive, he has been unwilling to set up the prince, the princes seized the throne fiercely, the King of Qi was the first to stand up to support Emperor Taiding;

A King of Qi and a Qiu Yun are virtuous kings and virtuous ministers that any king will value.

"Well, let's see. After Emperor Taiding finished speaking, he closed his eyes, Gonggong Mu did not speak, gently pulled the thin quilt on, covered Taiding's thin body, and then quietly left the room, went outside the courtyard, called the middle-aged eunuch over, and told him to watch carefully, the time to see the courtiers in the future must not be too long, and the ginseng spirit soup should also be paid attention to, and it must be taken on time.

"Call the imperial doctor to be ready at any time, and tell them to keep their mouths tight, there is a trace of leakage in the matter here, and the whole family will be beheaded!"

Father-in-law Mu's eyes showed a fierce light, the middle-aged eunuch nodded again and again, and Father-in-law Mu called the little eunuchs together again, and reiterated that they should keep their mouths tight.
