Xiao Yi came gently, and then left gently, waving his sleeves and taking away a warm cheer.
Returning to the East Palace, I received a secret letter from Yue Hongling.
Not a battle report, but a secret message.
All of them are related to the situation of most officials of Longyou Road that Yue Hongling asked people to investigate, from the prefect to the county magistrate and the chief registrar.
There are many corrupt officials, but there are also some officials who want to do things for the country and appease the people, but the officialdom of Longyou Road does not allow such people to exist.
There are only a pitiful few, and some even died directly and inexplicably.
This is the situation on Longyou Road.
Disaster relief every year.
Drought every year.
After Xiao Yi read it, he wished he could just let Lu Ming or Lu Chong lead the people to kill them all according to the list above.
Not killing is not enough to make the people angry, not killing is not enough to vent their anger, not killing, they are just wasting food by living!
However, Xiao Yi knew that he couldn't do it yet, and the knife in his hand couldn't land on the ground yet.
One is because there is also a prefect in Longyou Road.
Although this prefect is no longer in name only, and is also the biggest corrupt official in Longyou Dao, but if he wants to punish these officials in Longyou Dao, his people must be able to go to the local area to arrest talents.
Xiao Yi himself also knows that many of his current government orders may not be able to leave the capital.
A powerful prince who oversees the country, but his government orders cannot leave the capital?
Sounds ridiculous.
Yet this is actually the case.
Just like this work-for-relief policy, Cai Jin did not implement it well. He knew very well that this was a policy that benefited the country and the people, but because he was from Li Linfu, he certainly did not want to see the drought in Longyou Road coming after Xiao Xiao. This national policy was solved.
In addition, he reviews memorials every day, not just to review memorials or to deal with state affairs, but to fight for power. This power of reviewing memorials must be taken back. Even if the decree cannot leave the capital, it must be in his hands.
Some memorials could be implemented after he reviewed them. These memorials were also written by Di Yan and others.
After sealing the jade seal and the prince's seal, the coffin is finalized.
If it is not implemented, then Xiao Yi will have reason to raise troops to investigate.
But if it were the memorials of Cai Jin and others, they were all insignificant matters, and there were also important decisions. But if they were acting against the will, Xiao Yi really couldn't do anything about it. He didn't have enough manpower, so he wouldn't be able to get enough evidence.
Xiao Yi did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Yang Shenxun, Wang Hao, Xue Baichuan, Jia Haolei, and Dong You were all guilty of heinous crimes.
Of course, Yang Shenxun's crime was not very serious, but disrespecting the prince and trying to accuse the prince's concubine was a heinous crime.
"Judging from the current situation, we must first focus on Yue Hongling's suppression of bandits, clean up the horse bandits on Longyou Road, and ensure that Qin Hongxue's work-for-relief can be implemented. Only in this way can the disaster on Longyou Road be truly alleviated. .”
"Judging from Sanbao's information on Cai Jin's disaster relief work, this person has no great merits or major faults. He is just right. He is worthy of being able to climb to the position of participating in political affairs under Li Linfu."
"Cai Jin, this name is somewhat similar to Cai Jing, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, but this person is not as good as Cai Jing."
In any case, Cai Jing also became a prime minister during the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was also able to control the sky with one hand, coaxing emperors like Zhao Ji, and fighting against political opponents such as Su Shi, Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu, Wang Fu, etc., and he was also in the position of prime minister. Ups and downs.
Looking at Cai Jin now, although he has reached the position of participating in political affairs, there is Li Linfu above him, so it seems difficult to get ahead.
Now he was caught between him and Li Linfu again, seemingly in a dilemma. From the disaster relief work he did on Longyou Road, it could be seen that he seemed to want to avoid offending both sides.
However, at this time, if neither party is offended, then both parties are offended.
"Of course, fortunately he is not as good as Cai Jing. If he were an old fox like Cai Jing, it would be really difficult to deal with."
"The problem in Longyou Road is not that big anymore. Next, we need to use Di Yan's side to train some people and start to unseat people like Zhu Mian, Wang Fu, and Liu Hui."
Xiao Yi was thinking while eating.
Lifting the cauldron previously consumed a lot of golden elixir energy. After returning to the East Palace, I felt a little hungry.
He directly asked Huaiji to go to the kitchen and make roasted whole lamb, six side dishes, and rice.
He was now eating dessert to satisfy his tummy.
…
Tufu's Mansion.
Zhang Jiuling drank a can of tea and played chess leisurely.
Just a moment.
Di Yan strode in panting, picked up the teapot on the table, and drank a few sips.
Zhang Jiuling felt a little sorry for his tea leaves, and said in a deep voice: "You are reckless and reckless, how can you not be a gentleman at all? If you can't keep calm, how can you plan for the overall situation?"
Di Yan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised the bronze cauldron and walked seven steps. He walked four steps more than the strong Yan man, and the reward he received was sent directly to the Ministry of Industry. In front of the people, he said that he would pay the craftsmen."
Zhang Jiuling was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
After a moment, he raised his head again and asked with some disbelief: "Is this really true?"
Di Yan nodded heavily.
Zhang Jiuling coughed a few times, pursed his lips, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
After holding back for a long time, he said: "I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince has so much hidden clumsiness. If it weren't for the Yan people's delegation, I'm afraid we wouldn't know about His Highness the Crown Prince's brilliance and talent, nor would we know about His Highness the Crown Prince's innate supernatural power."
"In this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be a man who is both civilized and military. He can stabilize the country through civility and rule the country through military force!"
Di Yan nodded excitedly.
Zhang Jiuling continued: "Relief for work can solve the disaster in Longyou Road. The people participated in the water conservancy project, and they have food and money. The court does not have to spend a lot of time and heavy labor to build the reservoir. , water canals to solve the disaster on Longyou Road."
"This is a strategy that benefits the country and the people with multiple benefits. The court wins the hearts of the people, the people are appeased, and the disaster in Longyou Road is alleviated. More importantly, with the establishment of reservoirs and canals to store and divert water, Longyou Road will also be It’s very difficult to have a drought.”
Di Yan nodded again.
Zhang Jiuling stroked his beard and continued: "Look at His Majesty the Crown Prince again. At the time of crisis, he awakened His Majesty and obtained the power to supervise the country. Then he killed the imperial doctor who questioned him directly outside the Ganlu Palace. This was not just a quick sword attack. Ranma even kills people to establish his authority, letting people know that he is not the cowardly prince he was before."
"Looking at his execution of Wang Hao, the Minister of Household Affairs, two of the three major merchants in the capital, as well as Dong Zhuo's people, also did it intentionally."
"If you don't kill, you won't be able to establish your authority. If you don't kill, you won't be able to solve the crisis of lack of food in the capital."
"I remember that His Highness said that in the temples, there are rotten trees as officials, and between the palaces and majesties, animals eat their salary, and people with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are in power. The servile and servile people are in power one after another, so that the people of the country are devastated. !”
"This statement can be regarded as explaining the reason for Daqian's current internal troubles, and it hits the point."
"So, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to create a bright future?"
Di Yan thought for a while and nodded again.
I completely agree with what Zhang Jiuling said.
He is already considered to be Xiao Yi's fanatical loyalist. If one could see his loyalty, it would definitely be 100%.
Zhang Jiuling looked at the chessboard, took out a piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
A black dragon has eyes.
"In that case, we can continue to the next step, slowly counterattack, and help His Royal Highness clean up the court."
Di Yan said: "Is Mr. Zhang sure you want to do this?"
Zhang Jiuling nodded and said: "I thought that His Highness King Yan might be able to take on important responsibilities, but looking at what he did in Hebei Province, I can only say that he is passable. He has the qualifications of a hero, but he is also brave and foolhardy. If you want to seek skin from Murong Yin and Hu, you must be able to control Murong Yin in the future."
"It's just that the leader of the Yan people is a real hero. He succeeded to the throne at a young age and took charge of the government at the age of fourteen. He punished corrupt officials, farmed the fields, and opened the door for Daqian scholars to use it to govern the place. He performed a lot of literary and martial arts , making today's Yan country rich and powerful, with the qualifications of a wise ruler."
"Daqian also needs someone like His Highness the Crown Prince who can govern the country with civility and maintain peace with military force, in order to keep the country."
"In less than ten years, Daqian will inevitably have a life-or-death battle with the four thieves in the North."
“If you win, you will make further progress; if you lose, you will lose your country and your government.”
"Fortunately, God bless you!"
Zhang Jiuling was worthy of being a veteran of three dynasties, and he was also someone Xiao Di relied on. Even though he was confused in old age and was seriously ill, he did not do anything to Zhang Jiuling.
This person is very loyal to Daqian, upright and upright, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and understands the overall situation.
Di Yan also agreed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. His Royal Highness is here in Daqian, so there won't be any chaos!"
"I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also revitalize the Daqian through civil and martial arts. Maybe he can also establish a prosperous Daqian that far exceeds the previous one!"
…
The Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Linfu fanned himself with a cattail leaf fan.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and my heart has become impetuous.
It was unexpected that His Highness the Prince could write that poem, which shattered Li Linfu's original plan.
As a result, today I learned that His Highness the Crown Prince is extremely powerful and has innate supernatural power. He easily lifted the bronze cauldron and walked seven steps!
Is that human being?
I'm afraid he's not a monster, right? !
That kind of people.
Can they still fight it?
Li Linfu remembered the scene in the Manlu Palace when His Highness the Prince raised his sword and killed the imperial doctor.
No wonder, no wonder he didn't react at the time, the knife was too fast.
It can be seen from that time that His Highness the Crown Prince has learned martial arts. Otherwise, how could he be so fast?
It's a pity that I still didn't realize that His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly changed into a different person, and I didn't expect this.
He doesn't speak.
Zhu Mian, Wang Fu, Liu Hui and others did not dare to speak.
The atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
Li Linfu was also upset, and said slowly: "I am tired, you can go back first."
When everyone saw that Li Linfu had issued an order to expel guests, they could only stand up and say goodbye.
When Li Linfu arrived in the study, he thought for a long time before picking up a pen and writing a note, patting it lightly with his palm.
Outside the door, an expressionless guard quietly came to Li Linfu without saying a word.
"Give it to the Crown Princess." Li Linfu handed the bottle of medicine and the creed to the guard and said calmly.
The guard took the two things, stuffed them into his arms without looking at them, bowed and left quietly.
Li Linfu watched the guards go away, and the afterglow of the sunset spilled into the study, and murmured: "Prince, I cannot keep you here."
