Huang Qiong nodded at Fu Yuanshan's words, but then shook his head: "I'd better tell Jiang Ning to pay more attention and be sure to strengthen their defenses. In the past few days, I have upgraded it and Yanshan Mansion to South Beijing. The imperial edict is about to be issued. If here, I have just upgraded it to the capital, and the rebels sneak attack and succeed in the next step. If the new companion is lost, then the joke will be really big. "
"When the rebel king is dying, he may not send his fleet into the Yangtze River from the sea. It can be traced directly to Jiangning Mansion. If the rebels capture Jiangning Mansion, they will not only cut off the water transportation between the north and south of the imperial court, but also the food grains in the south of the Yangtze River. Entering the capital, the entire capital is in danger of running out of food. The large amount of ordnance, grain, grass, money and silk stored in Jiangning City fell into the hands of the rebels, which in turn served as an asset to the enemy."
"And it will also make it impossible for the officers and soldiers to take care of both the front and the rear on the Jiangxi battlefield. It will scatter and involve the energy of Cao Rui and the generals, and make them panic. Jiangning Mansion is to the current Jiangnan battlefield, just like Jingzhao is to the world. Likewise, position is too important. A single move affects the whole body, and there is no room for failure. It’s better to think of the front, and don’t wait for the back to be passive.”
Having said this, Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of his nose a little tiredly, looked at the exhausted people in front of him, pondered for a moment and said: "After you leave my place later, you all will go back to your homes to rest for a day. Let’s see how well you guys have endured. You are all my loyal ministers, and I will have many places to rely on in the future. If I fall, where will I find a replacement?”
"You guys, you have to learn how to manage people. All of you are first- and second-rank officials like Zhongshu's subordinates, such as Zhongshu, and the six ministers. If you have to do everything yourself, then the court has such a set up Why are there so many people? I might as well just use a few of you. I also know that this is the most difficult time. But the more this time comes, the more I can't do without you."
"You don't want to learn from me. How old am I? In terms of hard work, my foundation is much better than yours. But when I am busy, it is a bit unbearable, not to mention that you are all scholars. No matter how busy you are, do you still need to balance work and rest?"
Huang Qiong's heart-warming words made everyone present feel very heart-warming. Although they also know that since the rise of the rebels until now, the most tiring person in these days is this Lord. Whether it was when he was the prince or now when he ascended the throne as the emperor, he was responsible for everything. The emperor who now moved to Yongfu Palace, who almost never left Yongfu Palace, didn't care about anything at all.
This energetic new king is like a tireless horse, dragging this dynasty full of decadence forward desperately. In order to maintain the longevity of this dynasty, certain changes must be considered all day long. But no matter how energetic a person is, there will be times when he becomes tired. Thinking of this, several people looked at each other, shook their heads, and said nothing.
After Fu Yuanshan and others left, Huang Qiong stood up and walked outside the door of Wende Palace. He looked at the bloody setting sun, but his mind was not on the war. Last month, the Longyou pacification envoy was transferred to the position of Minister of Household Affairs in Xijing. Zhang Qian, who had made outstanding achievements in the Ningxia government, now serves as the chief envoy of Longyou and acts as the pacifying envoy of Longyou. Now, under Zhang Qian's painstaking efforts, Ningxia Mansion's vitality has not only been completely restored.
Even because it accepted a large number of refugees, it is now even more prosperous. The Hetao Plain has been deserted for hundreds of years. After three years of recruiting refugees to reclaim the wasteland, it has become criss-crossed by roads and ditches. More than one million acres of high-quality irrigated land have been cultivated. The grain produced can not only meet the needs of Ningxia Prefecture, but also meet most of the needs of Longyou Road, and there is still room for supply to northern Shaanxi.
Since Zhang Qian has fulfilled his original promise, he will naturally not break his promise. Last month, Zhang Qian was directly transferred to take over as the pacifier of Longyou. Although he was an agent, it was because he was worried about this guy, so he kept his tail high. That's why I planned to suppress him for a year. Practical teaching is only a matter of one or two years. The question is who should be transferred to take over as the prefect of Ningxia after Zhang Qian is promoted?
At the beginning of the year, when Zhang Qian returned to Beijing to report on his work, he asked him whether his colleagues in Ningxia Prefecture or other Longyou officials might be able to take over. But Zhang Qian told himself that the fellow intellectual was too soft-tempered and that he was okay at water conservancy, but he was still far from good at being a palm seal official. As for the other officials in Longyou, it's hard to say. Zhang Qian reminded himself that when he suppressed the rebellion, he slaughtered all the Pingxia and Yeli tribes.
But there are still a lot of party members in Ningxia Prefecture. Moreover, in accordance with his request, he released a group of prisoners of the Second Division on the spot and placed them among the refugees recruited to reclaim wasteland and convert them to farming. Some Dangxiang people in northern Shaanxi also took the opportunity to move to Ningxia. In other words, the situation in Ningxia Prefecture is still very complicated. If a corrupt official or an incompetent person is sent there, it may still cause serious trouble.
Huang Qiong still agreed with Zhang Qian's statement. Now Zhang Qian has gone to Longyou to take office, but there is no candidate for the Ningxia Prefecture magistrate yet. Although Fan Jian is an official now, he also served as a county magistrate in Ningxia for almost three years. But Huang Qiong never considered him as the prefect, and Huang Qiong had even planned to transfer him. The next step is to go to Beijing or be transferred to other places.
Fan Jian's relationship with the Fan family destined him not to be a palm seal official in a frontier place like Ningxia Mansion. Moreover, Fan Jian is now the seventh-rank official, and it is still a bit too unusual to be promoted to the status of fourth-rank prefect all of a sudden. Moreover, Fan Jian's political performance in the past two years has been considered good, and his evaluation by the Ministry of Civil Affairs has always been very good. But how much of this was done by himself is hard to say.
I am afraid that a considerable part of his political achievements are due to the Fan family. The prefect of Ningxia Prefecture must not only be willing to get down and do it down-to-earth, but also have a certain degree of tolerance. It is precisely because of this that Huang Qiong is troubled by this choice of magistrate. Huang Qiong, who thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a suitable candidate, returned to his position and wanted to review the results for a while.
But when I picked up a book, I found that it was Liu Chang's book, and I realized that I had forgotten about this person. After Liu Chang was kicked out to serve as magistrate of the state, although his performance was not as conspicuous as Zhang Qian's, he still did well. Although it's still a bit law-abiding, it's not that easy to let go. But he really threw himself down and worked hard.
Liu Chang's hard work in the past three years is also indispensable for Jiazhou's ability to recover so quickly. Although the Jiazhou Zhizhou was said to be the sixth-rank Zhizhou, in order for him to be less constrained when he went down, I promoted him one level, and he went down as the fifth-rank Zhizhou. Now, with his status as a fourth-rank official, it is not too unusual to be transferred to the prefect of Ningxia. But from Liu Chang, Huang Qiong couldn't help but think of Zhang Qiaoer again.
Government affairs were too busy during these days. Huang Qiong, who had not seen Zhang Qiaoer for more than four months since the New Year, couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. After returning to the harem and having dinner with Situ Huanshuang, he went to Qingzi Erluo Palace to change clothes. He did not bring any bodyguards, but only Qingzi Erluo. As bodyguards and companions for certain activities, he and Er Liu quietly went to Zhang Qiaoer's house.
Originally, in addition to Qingzi Erluo, he often brought Lin Wanqing, Zhu Xing'er, or the He sisters with him. But now Lin Wanqing and He Qingping are pregnant, and Myolie Zhu and Xiaoping have received another letter. Therefore, he simply brought the two daughters of the Liu family with him. It just so happened that Er Liu, who had never been outside the Prince's Palace since entering, took the opportunity to have some fun.
What's more, although Er Liu's martial arts skills are low, they are slightly stronger than those of Lin Wanqing and the fourth daughter. With them, even if there is any accident, you can withstand it for a while. Huang Qiong's visit to Zhang Qiao'er today certainly meant to comfort her from lovesickness. But regarding Liu Chang's next call, Huang Qiong still wanted to hear Zhang Qiaoer's thoughts. If Zhang Qiaoer is unwilling, Huang Qiong also plans to make other considerations.
When he arrived at Zhang Qiaoer's place, he saw that the woman, who had not seen him for many days, was a little haggard. When she saw him, her eyes were full of surprise, and Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel apologetic. After making sure that all the children were asleep, he held the woman in his arms and kissed the woman's mouth deeply as she wanted to say something. After carrying the woman into the bed, he tore open the skirt of his clothes.
Seeing Huang Qiong's rare anxious look, the four women behind him covered their mouths and almost laughed. Especially Liu's aunt and nephew, this was the first time they saw the always steady emperor acting so anxiously and furiously. But before they could say anything, they were already dragged to the bed by Huang Qiong. The heads of the Liu family's two daughters were also pushed down by Huang Qiong who was busy.
This is not the first time that everyone has slept with the young emperor together. There was nothing embarrassing about the women meeting each other under such circumstances. Especially Qingzi Erluo, who was often brought out by Huang Qiong to have trysts with Zhang Qiaoer, was extremely familiar with Zhang Qiaoer's place. But Zhang Qiaoer, who had been wanting to say something, finally couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Just when a few people were entangled together, the door of Zhang Qiaoer's bedroom was suddenly pushed open. A woman who is somewhat similar to Zhang Qiaoer, but has an even better figure. A woman with a very beautiful appearance and a figure similar to Zhang Qiaoer walked in directly. Before she could even say the words "Sister, Sister", she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Just when the two women were about to shout out, they discovered that an outsider had entered. They hurriedly pulled away from Zhang Qiaoer and came directly to tap the acupoints. Looking at the two uninvited women in front of him, Zhang Qiaoer, who had already regained consciousness, felt helpless, had a headache and felt guilty: "Your Majesty, one of these two people is my sister, and the other is mine. Cousin-in-law.”
"My brother-in-law has passed away many years ago, and my sister has been a widow. Originally, I thought that there were many children in the family, so I invited my sister to help me with the housework. My cousin passed away last year and had nothing to do at home. She was born, so she and her sister came to me with their children. They arrived in the capital last month. I have always wanted to tell your majesty about this, but you also know."
Hearing Zhang Qiaoer's name for this young man, the two women couldn't help being stunned, and they both looked at Zhang Qiaoer with disbelief. Neither of them thought that the young man in front of them who had nothing on him at this time was actually the current emperor. As for my younger sister, she actually had an affair with the emperor, so what if the two of them were together in such a big way?
Seeing the two girls looking at him dumbfounded, Huang Qiong didn't have anything to worry about, as long as they weren't Liu Chang's sister and sister-in-law. Huang Qiong turned around and was about to be discovered by her sister and sister-in-law because of her affair with her. She looked somewhat unnatural and even felt guilty. The expression on his face was somewhat indescribable, and Zhang Qiaoer hugged her in his arms.
