Huang Jin and Zhu Qingping looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, this matter has been going on for six or seven years. When it comes to the interactions between Grandpa Xian and Sun Shangshu, many people in Anlu, Huguang, know about it." Huang Jin answered, "There are not many secrets in the palace. But if we say The most important thing is that Grandpa Xian wanted to marry Sun Shangshu at that time... Only Duke Yuan and Zhang Changshi at that time knew about it, and the rest were us slaves serving on the side."
Zhu Houcong was only slightly confused and smiled when he heard this: "It's not surprising that other people know."
He just thought deeply about Wang Qiong's intention to invite Fu Sunjiao.
Therefore, the emperor is indeed a very nerve-wracking profession, especially for an emperor who wants to be successful, he must think deeply about everything.
After being roasted once, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but think more about everything.
At that time, Sun Jiao became an official and returned to his hometown. Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing, respected him very much and even gave Sun Jiao a piece of land near Sun Jiao's old residence in the field given by the palace.
At that time, Sun Jiao was no longer an official in the court, and Zhu Youqi didn't have much psychological pressure from interacting with him.
The most important thing is that Zhu Youqi once wanted to appoint Sun Jiao's youngest daughter as the crown prince.
At that time, she was just a little girl who was as beautiful as a flower, and Zhu Youqi had seen her before.
But Sun Jiao refused.
Zhu Youqian couldn't help it. Later, the two of them had their own concerns, and their relationship was not as close as it was during the first year.
Now Wang Qiong is petitioning to revive Sun Jiao. Of course, the memorial also mentions several other ministers who were deposed during the Zhengde period.
Zhu Houcong thought about it and approved it.
I don’t know what that little girl looks like now. This big harem will start to fill up next year.
But for a high-level civil servant like Sun Jiao, could his daughter enter the palace? This would be a huge exception.
Might be fun too.
Zhu Houcong smiled while thinking about this. After opening another memorial, Zhu Houcong laughed even more.
Today some people started to write a letter to impeach Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling. I am afraid these people are just opportunists.
There are just a few things that the Zhang brothers have been able to mention casually.
There are many smart people, but the smarter ones know that this moment is not the time to deal with these two people. Just after the fire at the Sun Jing Gate broke out, I said it was an unintentional mistake by the chamberlain, but then immediately turned around and killed the Queen Mother's brother. Isn't that trying to cover up the truth?
Stayed in.
Opening another memorial, Zhu Houcong became serious.
Xia Yan, "Please reserve sufficient supplies at the border to prevent the enemy from being invaded".
After Yanguan was demoted to the rank of the people in large numbers, this was the first among Yanguan to go to the imperial court to offer advice.
The name Xia Yan has long been in the emperor's heart just like Yan Song who couldn't figure it out.
After reading a few lines, Zhu Houcong said: "Huang Jin, bring over the Xia Yan file copied from the Internal Affairs Department."
Huang Jin immediately went to the guard room next to Qianqing Gate, where the internal affairs department was located.
Fortunately, it was the hut on the west side, not the one and a half rooms on the east side that had been burned down.
It was not that Zhu Houcong was unfamiliar with Xia Yan: he had read the archives and resumes of some important figures.
What he wanted to compare now was the style of Xia Yan's memorial.
After opening the Xia Yan file that Huang Jin brought back and reading it, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.
He is worthy of being a famous official in history. The style of this new memorial is obviously different from the previous wording.
Zhu Houcong had already appeared in front of the ministers. After so many days, the words in the palace and the words in the thank you note had reached the ears of at least some ministers.
Go to Guo Xun and ask Zhang Zuo to tell him not to look at the wording, but only the content. This is the style of Xia Yan's memorial: simple and concise.
He made many suggestions on stabilizing the border towns. The two most important points were that Yang Yiqing, who was summoned to return to the DPRK, should once again take over the three sides. For this reason, he suggested that the Beijing camp recruit troops.
Zhu Houcong never told anyone about Yang Yiqing's thoughts. Naturally, there were many people who could guess his thoughts, but it was different when someone recommended him.
The Tianchaotang has been quiet these days, and the emperor doesn't want to make the water muddy by stuffing Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong into the cabinet, right? Many things have not been clarified yet.
Xia Yan also told the truth in his memorial: What the court needs now is stability, and there will definitely be no shortage of spies in Wala. If important ministers fight fiercely in the court, border troubles will arise. Only when Yang Yiqing went to control the three sides could many matters such as the reset of the three major camps and the abolition of fraud be carried out without any worries.
Naturally, the votes from the cabinet were in favor of Xia Yan's proposal.
And in the memorial, in the name of the real border reserve, it was possible to block the food and salary part of the arrangements for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin who had no family assets, so that they could first block the mouth of the Fifth Army Governor's Office and let them reset the three major battalions. Put up less chips.
Yang Yiqing, a civil servant, will have a say in which frontier generals will be selected by the new three major battalions to hold middle-level positions.
But Xia Yan did not fail to benefit the generals: Regarding the resettlement of the three major battalions, he also proposed that the Fifth Army Governor's Office should first come up with the next 150,000 establishment of the three major battalions. A list of important generals in the Beijing camp should be selected and transferred to prevent instability in the command level of the border towns.
Make overall plans and make arrangements in advance.
The honorable ministers of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion could use this matter to sell favors and win over the middle and lower-level generals. The Ministry of War of the civilian ministers always controlled the qualifications for selection, and it was impossible for them to take charge of the army. They did not resist this.
In one breath, we first pulled out a list of the 150,000 middle and high-level people in the Beijing camp!
After all, determining personnel is the most important thing. As for the money and food for the new three major battalions, it is not the focus of this memorial presented in the name of "Substantial Border Reserves."
What Xia Yan said in this memorial can be said to have balanced the interests of all parties. The four cabinet ministers unanimously hope that Yang Yiqing, a fierce man, should stay in the border town. General Xunchen can provide a list of 150,000 mid-level and high-level people in the Beijing camp. More food and salary arrangements should be supplied to Jiubian first, which is more in line with the demands of the Ministry of War. , the suggestion to recruit troops even guessed the emperor's thoughts.
As for what to do with food and salary after the Beijing camp adopts the recruitment system, that will have to be discussed separately. As long as the emperor thinks this is better, the annual salary expenditure can always be negotiated.
He just didn't expect that the money had been negotiated during the banquet given by Qianqing Palace yesterday.
Zhu Houcong smiled and asked, "When was this memorial delivered to the General Affairs Department?"
At this time, Zhang Zuo had also come back and reported: "The night before, the lights in the study room of Xia Geishi's house were not extinguished. He was the first to come to the Hou Dynasty outside Chengtian Gate. When the memorial was delivered to the General Affairs Department, Ri Jing The door isn’t on fire yet.”
"You are commendable for your diligence, I'm afraid Xia Yan is extremely anxious now." Zhu Houcong was enjoying himself while writing notes on the memorial, "Go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to pass on my orders, Xia Yan has done meritorious deeds, and all the men in the military department have been spared." There is a vacancy. For the remaining vacancies, let the cabinet and the Ministry of Human Resources submit recommended candidates as early as possible."
At this moment, Xia Yan was indeed extremely anxious.
After working hard for several days, the memorial is too late!
With the Sun Jing family on fire, why should we pay more attention to Jiubian in the first place? Of course, we must focus on the Beijing camp!
We must take care of both sides and take care of all parties. Before this matter, we must be cautious, consider the matter, and be thoughtful. But now, who knows what the emperor thinks?
After staying up for several nights, Xia Yan still didn't sleep well last night, even if she could sleep in after morning.
In the duty room of Liu Ke Corridor, Zhang Zuo came with the imperial edict.
"Xia Yan accepts the order!"
Xia Yan knelt down anxiously.
