"Di Yan pays homage to His Highness."
When Xiao Yi heard this name, he remembered that in the list of officials given to him by the Sanbao eunuch, there was one person who seemed to be named Di Yan.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a great scholar of the current dynasty, passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and was still the Tanhualang of that year.
Born in a squire's family, he began to study hard at a young age and concentrated on his studies.
After the Ming Dynasty, he successively served as the judge of Bianzhou, the doctor of Duzhi, the governor of Fuzhou, and the Sima of Luozhou. Five years ago, he served as Secretary and Supervisor Zuo Cheng in Beijing, and later he was transferred to Zhongcheng, the censor. Three years ago, he was impeached for Li Linfu's monopoly on ruling and opposition parties. , He was demoted to Pengze County Magistrate for causing trouble in the imperial court.
A year ago, because His Majesty was seriously ill, several corrupt officials appeared in the government and the public, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was also impeached. Finally, Zhang Jiuling recommended to Xiao Di that Di Yan be re-appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to rectify the corrupt officials. Dirty officials.
During this period, he investigated and dealt with thirteen ministers in the court, the lowest was sixth grade and the highest was fourteenth grade.
Received praise and recognition from Xiao Di.
However, later on, Xiao Di became increasingly ill and could no longer review memorials. His body became weaker and weaker, and he eventually fell into a coma.
The power in the court was once again controlled by Li Linfu, and Di Yan chose to lie dormant. Even if the official department was ignored by Li Linfu, he turned a blind eye.
If it weren't for Zhang Jiuling's support behind him, his position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs would have been taken away by Li Linfu.
Seeing Zhang Jiuling's statement, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he did not directly come forward to support, recommending people like Di Yan has already shown his attitude.
He immediately stood up and helped Di Yan up, as if he had met his confidant. ,
"Please get up quickly. I have heard about you for a long time. You are upright, know people well, and can resolve cases decisively. You have redressed the injustices of many wronged people. My father has always praised your talents and morals. "
"If I have your support, why can't I fight against evil?"
Xiao Yi expressed gratitude to Zhang Jiuling again: "With Duke Jiuling's support, I no longer have any worries."
After saying that, he pulled Di Yan to sit down.
However, Zhang Jiuling stood up slowly and saluted: "Your Highness, I am old and frail. I cannot sit for a long time and am no longer able to do what I want, so I will stay here soon."
"Reopening the morning dynasty will bring no harm to the general government, and the humble ministers should be willing to support it."
"Your Highness has the majestic appearance of His Majesty back then."
"I also hope that Daqian can be revived again and establish a foundation for eternity."
"Please forgive me for not being able to stay with you for a long time."
Xiao Yi quickly stood up and helped Zhang Jiuling up, and said gratefully: "I am very happy to be recommended by Duke Jiuling. Just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty was able to retain a marquis, now that I have a son, I am even more confident."
"Mr. Jiuling cultivates his body well, Gu will let you see with your own eyes the revival of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the establishment of a prosperous dynasty again!"
Zhang Jiuling nodded and bowed again.
With the help of the servant beside him, he left the private room.
Xiao Yi and Di Yan were the only two people left in this private room.
"Di Shangshu, what do you think of the current situation, and what strategies can you use to help Gu break the situation?"
Di Yan replied: "Your Highness, the support of the ministers is not enough. It will take three days to reopen the morning court."
"In this court, not all of them belong to Li Linfu. There are also some loyal and upright ministers. They have long been dissatisfied with Li Linfu's behavior of covering the sky with one hand. It's just that Li Linfu is so powerful that they can't say anything."
"Now that His Highness has the power to supervise the country, he has punished corrupt officials, killed traitors like Wang Hao, Yang Shenxun, etc., and beheaded profiteers like Xue Baichuan and Jia Haolei, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the disaster relief of Longyou Road."
"They are all watching these vigorous and resolute measures."
"Wei Chen is willing to persuade them to support His Highness in re-opening the morning dynasty. With their support, plus the support of some military honors."
"It shouldn't be difficult to restart the morning dynasty."
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up and he said: "It's better this way, then Master Lao Di will be responsible for these matters."
Di Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your words are serious. This is the duty of a humble minister."
Xiao Yi asked again: "What if someone doesn't want to go to the morning court and wants to show off to Gu Gu?"
However, Di Yan said the harshest words in a calm and calm manner, "Back to Your Highness, according to the laws of Daqian, officials are not allowed to take leave unless necessary. Those who are late for no reason will be punished with a minimum penalty of twenty canes. Those who do not come to the morning court without any reason , be dismissed from office and sentenced to fifty with a cane, or demoted and fined one year's salary."
"Now His Highness oversees the country and reopens the morning court, which is the most important matter of the Dagong. If any official is unwilling to go to the morning court, he can be dismissed according to the law of the Dagong and executed with a stick!"
After Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately felt that this was Di Qingtian. With the help of such a person, it was only a matter of time before he could defeat Li Linfu.
At that moment, he reached out and patted Di Yan on the shoulder. When he saw the other person's brows furrowed and his face turned pale, he knew that he seemed to be so happy that he had forgotten about his natural power.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so happy!"
"If you can get an ovary to help you, even if the court is full of wolves, tigers and leopards, you won't be afraid of being alone."
"Hahaha!"
Di Yan felt that his shoulders were almost falling apart. After he recovered a little, he quickly asked: "Your Highness...how strong are you?"
Xiao Yi looked calm, as if he was whispering, and said softly: "Innate divine power."
Di Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately overjoyed.
What a prince, he really knows how to hide his clumsiness.
The two talked about the disaster relief situation in Longyou Road again, and Di Yan praised Xiao Yi's work-for-relief method.
In the past, when droughts occurred in Longyou Road, relief grains and money were distributed to support the people until the disaster eased and the fields produced a small harvest.
After that, the people and corvees were recruited to build water conservancy projects to alleviate and completely solve the drought in Longyou Road.
As a result, the imperial court was under too much pressure, including financial resources, material resources, food, etc.
The key is that the result of heavy corvee service will inevitably bring dissatisfaction and even resistance among the people.
Relief for work can easily solve this hidden danger.
It is really a policy that benefits the country and the people.
The two had a heart-to-heart talk and their relationship got a lot closer.
Xiao Yi did not put on airs, and Di Yan gradually let go, drinking wine and chatting about state affairs.
After hearing Xiao Yi's words that the king is the boat and the people are the water, water can carry the boat and capsize it, I was immediately excited and immediately made him my confidant.
It wasn't until it got late that eunuch Huaiji had to come in to report Xiao Yi, and Yue Hongling's battle report came.
It just interrupted the chat between the two people.
After Di Yan left, Xiao Yi looked up at the dark night sky. He clenched his fist slightly with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of ambition and desire for power.
Returning to the East Palace, I opened Yue Hongling's battle report and was immediately overjoyed.
Li Hongji, the great rebel who occupied Qinzhou, was killed. The number one rebel who had been committing evil on Longyou Road for more than a year was finally put down.
Qinzhou once again returned to the embrace of the imperial court.
The key is that the name Li Hongji is very familiar. If this person is really allowed to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory, wouldn't he be the one to commit suicide?
Fortunately, such a character was killed by Yue Hongling before he had fully grown up.
It feels like they are specifically trying to increase reputation points for Yue Hongling.
However, no matter what, this news is exciting enough and proves Yue Hongling's military achievements.
Xiao Yi immediately asked people to publicize this battle report.
As soon as the news came out, the capital was shocked.
