"How long has it been, and has this happened?"

Looking at the few people in front of him, Emperor Li Kun frowned, and his face was quite displeased.

Compared with two years ago, he looked much older, with a lot of gray hair on his head, and his face was full of exhaustion, no longer looking shrewd and capable, but with a different kind of majesty.

On the other side, several Zai Zhi and important ministers bowed their heads and were silent, especially Xu Jin, who was the leader, and his face changed continuously, this time the disaster was the clansmen of his Xu family, even if Xu Jin was now the head of Zaifu, in the face of the emperor's anger, he was a little unbearable.

Yes, compared with two and a half years ago, Zaifu's ranks have changed again, the Privy Council due to the national war, the privy envoy Wang Jing and the privy deputy envoy Geng Chi are still unchanged, but the political hall has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Originally, the five people in the political affairs hall were headed by Wang Fu and Ma Yang, and the rest were Zhang Lian, who was not low in prestige, followed by Yan Dongting, and Xu Jin, as a backward person, had the least qualifications.

At present, only two of the original five people are still among them, it is Xu Jin and Ma Yang, and Ma Yang is in a state of semi-retirement, and all his attention is on writing books and speaking.

In addition to Ma Yang, Yan Dongting died two and a half years ago, and Wang Fu was removed from his post by Li Kun a year ago with an excuse, and he was supposed to be given another official position to support, but Wang Fu simply resigned by himself, and since then he has been in love with the landscape.

As for Zhang Lian, he also resigned by himself, this old minister knew in his heart, knowing that the move of forcing the palace that day had left a mustard in the emperor's heart, for the wealth and tranquility of the Zhang family, he resigned half a year after forcing the palace, that is, two years ago, and exchanged his retreat for the peace of the Zhang family.

And so it goes. Five went to the third, and the remaining Ma Yang ignored it, and Xu Jin was naturally on top.

It's just that the position of Zaifu in this political hall can't be vacant forever, so someone has already filled it.

The political hall not only represents the core of the world's power, is the center of the imperial court, but also the place where the interests of all parties play and compete, and is the place where the emperor uses to balance the forces of all parties, so the person who is the ruler. It often has a certain meaning, and it does not represent an individual, but a collective will -- behind every ruler, there is generally an interest group.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, Ma Yang now, due to the relationship of inaction, is gradually stripped from the original interest group, coupled with his reputation and achievements, he is in a state of detachment in the political hall.

But other than that. Everyone else has a certain label, even if it is Xu Jin, who was promoted to the northwest by opening up the territory. Now it also represents the emerging power in the northwest.

Zhang Lian originally represented the power of the Da Rui family, and after he retreated, a new helmsman was bound to appear in the family. This man is the Promise One.

The Xu family is also one of the great surnames of Da Rui, and was a member of the five surnames and seven families in the previous dynasty. After several ups and downs, but not in decline, in the eyes of families like them, there are alternate dynasties, but the family can last forever.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yingyi was originally released as an official, in charge of Hebei, swept away the famine and bandits, assisted Lu Yang in disaster relief, and was quite effective, and then seized the opportunity of the war in northern Xinjiang, jumped up, and at the age of prime, he had to enter the political hall and achieve the mastery, even if it was compared to Xu Jin, he was not too reckless, but he was slightly less qualified.

In addition to Xu Yingyi, the newly executed is also Cai Que.

This person started with the imperial history, once in charge of the imperial history platform, in the eyes of the world is a righteous person, after Wang Fu rose up to change the law, his people sometimes criticized, gradually became the backbone of the old party, and now he has entered the political hall, representing the interests of the old party, which is regarded as taking over Ma Yang's position.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Lian is also a few people headed by the old party, but Xu Yingyi is much inferior to Zhang Lianyi in terms of prestige, and it is impossible to hold down the position by relying on one person, so Xu Yingyi mainly represents the power of the family, and the interests of the old party gradually slipped to Cai Que.

Outside of Xu Yingyi and Cai Que, the last person in the political hall was Qiu Yan's acquaintance, and it was the envoy to Sanshui, Meng Qingbin.

The exploits of the envoy to Sanshui, coupled with the subsequent negotiations with several other tribes on the grassland, achieved Meng Qingbin's status, allowing him to borrow his external power to enter the political affairs hall smoothly.

However, the Meng family behind him, it stands to reason that it is also a big family, but two years ago, there was a change, thanks to Qiu Yan's movable type printing technology, and the new method of burning and forging, coupled with the help of Qiu Yan's famous disciple Huashe, the Meng family, together with the entire land of the Three Jin Dynasty, rose rapidly in technology, and transformed this technological advantage into economic benefits, so that the Three Jin Dynasty, as well as the nearby Hebei Dao family, have undergone a transformation in a certain way.

This kind of transformation makes these families more inclined to the new party of the reform faction, but they can't jump out of the limitations of the family after all, so Meng Qingbin is in the political hall, and he is a centrist, slightly biased towards the new party.

As a result, the five new people in the political affairs hall are Ma Yang, Xu Jin, Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and Meng Qingbin.

At first glance, except for the slightly biased Meng Qingbin, there was almost no place for the new party, and coupled with the deposition of Wang Fu, many people once thought that the emperor wanted to stop the reform and reject the new party.

However, just when people's minds changed, with the appointment of a piece of paper, Cen Bo, an important figure in the New Party, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Kun shared the convenience of knowing state affairs with him.

At this time, the other ministers realized that Wang Fu's departure may have been because his prestige was too high, his influence on the new law was too great, and he was jealous of the emperor, or it may have been because he had a strict disagreement with the emperor on the reform of the military system, so he retreated, but the emperor did not plan to trouble others, and still supported the reform of the law.

However, as soon as Wang Fu left, the New Party did not have the right person to enter the political hall in terms of qualifications and merits, so no one achieved dominance, but the arrangement of Cen Bo was tantamount to another form of recognition.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials, which is the most powerful department of the six ministries, and the Ministry of Officials even has the title of "Heavenly Official", and the authority is not small.

Even, some people realized that the reason why Ma Yang, who was inaction, was able to sit firmly in the political hall and occupy a position, maybe it was the emperor's arrangement to facilitate Cen Bo's entry into the court, so that when Cen Bo entered the court, there would be no conflict with other forces.

Today, two and a half years later, Li Kun, the emperor, has quite a means in balancing the interests of all parties and mixing different opinions, and he is no longer as happy and angry as he was originally, and often gives people a sense of unfathomability, but when he encounters today's events, he is still inevitably angry, and his anger is revealed on his face.

"The enemy in the northern frontier has been swept away, and all that remains is left, and the top priority is to settle the various departments, this is what a few Aiqing said before, and I remember every sentence in my heart, but this is how you are resettled? The resettlement officer acted recklessly, ordered several tribes who had already surrendered, angrily beheaded them, and then raised the flag of rebellion! What is going on? Don't think there are many Da Rui soldiers who will die? Not enough? Do you think that the war is over too early? Or do you think that I am too idle and want to find something for me to do?"

Li Kun spoke, his voice became deeper and lower, bringing great pressure to the ministers present.

"Your Majesty," Wang Jing said stiffly, "This matter may be an opportunity, the reason why the people of the northern Xinjiang are tiger and wolf nature, and the reason why they surrender is because the Rouluo people were defeated by our Da Rui and shocked them, and they also intend to seize the power vacuum on the grassland, rely on the power of Da Rui to rise, and become the new overlord! These three rebellious tribes are the representatives of them, and if they are defeated, they can make an example of the chickens and monkeys. ”

This privy envoy, who had previously tended to make peace, straightened his waist and spoke much more harshly after Da Rui's victory over Jolo.

"Oh, does Wang Qing think so?" Li Kun looked at it, frowned, threw a copy of the recital, and landed on the table, "Then you might as well take a look at this recital, this is written by the Sanshui resettlement envoy, and it says that Sanshui and several other major tribes have views on this matter." ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Hearing this, how could Wang Jing not know the meaning of the reproach in his words?

Syllable!

Li Kun slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "The front-line soldiers, the territory that they fought with blood was almost destroyed at the hands of a few resettlement officers! You see, what do the people of the Sanshui tribe and other people of the grassland say about them? Do whatever they want! Be lawless! That sentence 'I am the king's law' is really a great domineering! I am not as good as it!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

Hearing this, all the ministers hurriedly expressed their positions, knowing what the emperor was referring to.

Li Kun waved his hand and continued: "Northern Xinjiang can win, there are soldiers and generals to fight, and the battle that lays the victory, Lai Qiu Qing's strategy is successful, and the Rouluo counterattack is pacified, and I said that I will implement the resettlement policy according to his Feng Songshu, but what do you say?"

Li Kun got up from his seat, walked forward slowly, and said in his mouth: "Saying that Qiu Qing has been away from the front line for a long time, and knowing that time has passed, his strategy is not of great use, and then he sent his own resettlement officer to receive the victory results, and as a result, this is how you act? This is how you are placed? This is to force them to rebel!"

was reprimanded by him like this, and the ministers did not say a word.

"The matter has come to this, I have also made a decision, Qiu Qing's letter is more attentive, what Bill and others said are more attentive, from now on, the resettlement of the northern Xinjiang will be from it! This matter must be done before the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, in addition, I will sacrifice to the heavens in a few days, and I will canonize a righteous god, and this matter must also be arranged. ”

Hearing this, one of the people in the crowd was immediately startled.

"Why has this emperor never heard of this when he wants to canonize the righteous gods? At such a sensitive time, canonizing the gods, the fortune of the dynasty is likely to bless his body! When the ministry is promoted, will he have to be divided into a lot of luck? It takes a big advantage!" (To be continued......
