Zhao Changqing didn't feel much about Huang Cheng's death.

The current Minister of Rites is held by a number one scholar in the 10th year of Taiping. Before that, he had been compiling in the Hanlin Academy, and then he was put into local government. Zhuge Liang saw that he had worked hard and achieved great results, so he temporarily appointed him as Minister of Rites.

Zhuge Liang came to the Xuanzheng Hall and met Zhao Changqing.

The emperor said to others: "Huang Cheng has been working hard these years. Please take care of his funeral. After arriving in the capital, invite officials from the Ministry of Rites to express condolences. After all, he has been serving as the Minister of Rites for many years, which can be considered a small achievement.

.”

Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Changqing looked at him and said, "What do you mean when you come to see me today?"

Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yuming has given birth to a son and wants to come back to Beijing to see him."

Zhao Changqing nodded, agreed to Xiao Yuming's request to return to Beijing to visit relatives, and then asked: "There have been no problems at the border recently, right?"

In fact, even if there is a problem, it is not a big deal.

Over the years, Wei State has been continuously sending troops to the Jin area.

Among the five tiger generals alone, four are in Jin.

Zhao Changqing finally recalled Zhao Yun.

After all, in the army now, apart from the prestige of Chen and Xiao, Zhao Yun has the highest prestige in the army. With him in the country, he can control things.

Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming have been in Jin for a long time and are familiar with everything there. It is the best thing for them to stay in the border area.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Your Majesty, there is no problem for the time being, but since today, Duan Guo and Liang Guo have been in close contact."

Zhao Changqing said: "This is easy to handle. As far as I know, the only way Duan Guo can contact Liang Guo is Dongding County, right? Occupy it and give Duan Guo some gold, silver and jewelry."

Zhuge Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to buy that city and county from Duan Guo?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "Capture him and give him gold, silver and jewels to put an end to the trouble."

Zhuge Liang asked: "About how many thousand taels are needed?"

Zhao Changqing said: "The maximum is five million taels. You watch and talk to them, and we will be responsible for killing them first and then reporting them."

Zhuge Liang nodded and temporarily resigned.

Tomorrow, Qin Hui and others from as far away as three states and nine roads will go to Beijing to meet the saint.

On the table in the Xuanzheng Hall, there are some political achievements made by the four people in recent years.

How should I put it, seeing this political achievement, Zhao Changqing was quite upset.

He let the people in the East Factory know about it a few days ago, and went to Chudi to investigate openly and secretly.

The purpose is to see what Yan Song, Qin Hui, Shi Chong, Cai Jing and others did in Emperor Chu.

Based on this political achievement alone, it has reached the point where it would be unreasonable for the four of them not to be promoted.

Therefore, Zhao Changqing urgently wants to know whether this political achievement is true. The most important thing is whether they have committed corruption by deceiving superiors and concealing it from subordinates.

Have you earned mediocrity points for yourself?

In recent years, most of the system's functions have been restored and we can communicate with it. However, there are still some new functions that are still being improved and will take some time.

The system is mostly awake, but the stupor points are getting harder and harder to earn.

It seems that after a country becomes strong, it cannot be mediocre even if it wants to be mediocre.

Not to mention earning mediocrity points.

Zhao Changqing is now counting on people like Cai Jing.

I hope they can help and really engage in corruption and bribery. When the time comes, based on their achievements, they can continue to dominate the Chu region without affecting the current overall strength of the country, and they can also earn mediocrity points for themselves.

Why not do it.

Gao Lishi said respectfully outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian, the deputy governor of Dongchang, is here."

Zhao Changqing said: "Come in."

Gao Lishi bowed and said loudly: "Wei Zhongxian, deputy governor of Xuandong Factory, comes to see you!"

Sound travels far.

Only then was Wei Zhongxian able to come to the Xuanzheng Hall.

He brought a secret report to the emperor, in which he investigated in detail what the four people had done over the years. After some analysis, he found that all four of them were honest officials.

honest and upright official?

Zhao Changqing asked Wei Zhongxian, "Are you sure you have understood this information?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this information is confirmed to be correct. Even my subordinates still have doubts. There are probably not many people in Chudi who can keep their true intentions and avoid corruption."

Zhao Changqing felt a little upset and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Wei Zhongxian resigned.

After he finished handling the government affairs, he came to the Imperial Garden and saw the queen playing with three children: Prince Zhao Hongqing, King Zhao Hongji of Qi, and Princess Taiping.

Zhao Changqing felt very warm when he saw this scene.

He came to He Ning's side and said, "I went to Xu Jiao's place today."

He Ning let the three children play by themselves and let the maid beside them watch. Then he poured the emperor a cup of tea, brought it to him, and said, "Is she willing to speak?"

Zhao Changqing shook his head and said: "I'm going crazy."

He Ning frowned and said, "What should we do?"

Zhao Changqing said: "You have been spending more time with her lately. I plan to let Chen Qingzhi and the others destroy Duan Kingdom in another half a year so that they can unify the world as quickly as possible."

He Ning asked worriedly: "Will the Tang State send reinforcements?"

Zhao Changqing was also worried about this, but he had already anticipated all the situations. "The worst result is that all countries send troops one after another. Therefore, this time I let Chen Qingzhi be the commander-in-chief of the front line and Huo Qubing be the vanguard to fight a war."

Blitzkrieg, use the fastest speed to unify Duanguo."

He Ning said: "I believe in your Majesty's decision. At the same time, I also believe that General Chen Qingzhi will be able to win."

She is a woman. She should just listen to the normal affairs of the country and not get involved too deeply.

She has her own way of doing things.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to sit in the harem for many years and live in peace and harmony.

Zhao Changqing hugged He Ning's slender waist and said: "The world says that being an emperor is good, but in fact, being an emperor is the most tiring. Being a rich man is better than being an emperor."

He Ning didn't know how to reply, so he chose to remain silent.

Early the next morning, Zhao Changqing summoned Yan Song and four others in Chengde Hall.

The four of them entered the palace together, each of them looking extremely confident.

After all, he was doing something great in Chu Di.

Zhao Changqing asked the four of them, "I heard that you did a good job in Chu. Today, you can tell me what practical things you have done in Chu."

The four of them bowed to the emperor together, and then spoke one after another.

The more Zhao Changqing listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He can't stand these four people now.

According to the information obtained by Dongchang, the four people have been working diligently over the years and have never embezzled more than half a tael of silver.

This means that these four people have really not earned any mediocrity points for themselves over the years.

This is really fucked up.

You are all corrupt officials recorded in history!

Why aren't you greedy?

Could it be that I used you in the wrong place?

Thinking of this, he made a plan to let them serve in the Sixth Department, and they should be able to earn some stupid points, right?

Now we are about to enter the stage of unifying the world. Without the stupidity value, there will be no system to help. How can this be possible?

After thinking about it for a while, he expressed his decision and said, "I think you four have worked hard and made great achievements. From now on, you should serve in the imperial court. I have thought about it for several days and decided to promote you to confidential officials in various ministries."

Yan Song, you were the number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty in the eighth year of Taichu. Over the years, you have made great achievements in the Chu region and benefited the people of all walks of life. Therefore, I specially made you the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Qin Hui, I appoint you as the Minister of Rites, which can be regarded as an explanation for the hard work you have left over the years.

Shi Chong took up the post of Minister of Household Affairs.

Cai Jing took up the post of Minister of Justice.
