There will be the first urgent report, and there will be the second, third, and even fourth. In the past six months, the Han Dynasty court has been so shocked by the urgent report from Lingnan that it doesn’t know what to say. If it is said that the sneak attack on Fujian and Yue is
Su Ren was lucky, so he allowed Luo Yue to bow his head and surrender without fighting. What is the most powerful thing? Ten thousand people just surrounded tens of thousands of South Vietnamese troops and hundreds of thousands of people, forcing the South Vietnamese to surrender. This is
It's simply a myth.
The famous generals of the Han Dynasty were deceived. Let alone them, no one has ever fought such a battle from ancient times to the present. Whether it was the Marquis of Huaiyin, the Marquis of Jiang, or even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, when he encountered the situation Su Ren faced
, the victory may not be so beautiful. According to Yanzhu's battle report, in the battle to destroy the Four Kingdoms, the county soldiers lost more than a thousand, no grain and grass were used in Kuaiji, hundreds of carts of gold, silver and jewelry were seized, and more than 200,000 people were killed.
Moved into Han Dynasty.
There was a moment of silence in the court hall. There was no sound, and the crackling sound of the oil lamp could be heard. Liu Jiqing turned his head and looked at Liu Che. Liu Che didn't show any sign. Liu Jiqing stood up straight again and looked at the hall quietly.
"My dear friends, please tell me, how should I reward Su Ren? Should he be promoted to a higher position or should he be rewarded with gold, silver, wealth and silk?" Liu Che deliberately looked at Zhuang Qingzhai.
Zhuang Qingzhai was about to speak when he looked up and saw Liu Che looking at him. He quickly lowered his head and knelt down again.
Dou Ying said: "Your Majesty, Lingnan is newly established. I think the court can temporarily put aside the matter of rewarding Su Ren. There are still more than 200,000 people in Lingnan, and there is such a big place. How to settle these people and how to govern Lingnan?"
That is the most important thing now. More than 200,000 people have entered the Han Dynasty. If they are not careful, they will cause a big disaster. I think that I can appoint Su Ren as the Guanglu doctor, who will be responsible for appeasing the Yue people. If he were replaced, he would be afraid of death.
misfortune."
"allow!"
"Your Majesty! Although the Yue people have surrendered, there are still a small group of Yue people in Lingnan who are causing trouble. The imperial court can order Su Ren to be the Zhonglang General to command Kuaiji. The two counties of Wu and Jiujiang and the troops of Hengshan will suppress the bandits in Lingnan.
, waiting for the imperial court to send someone to control it."
"allow!"
"Your Majesty, the cost of relocating a large number of people must be huge. However, the national treasury is not full, and it is not appropriate to transfer money and food from Chang'an. I think that we can borrow food from the countries surrounding the Jianghuai River to meet our urgent needs. This matter can be handled by Su Ren with full authority.
"
"allow!"
Dou Ying took the lead. One by one, the officials of the Prime Minister's Office talked about how to manage Lingnan. Everyone mentioned one person invariably, and that was Su Ren. In just a quarter of an hour, Su Ren had already left Taizhong.
The doctor was promoted to Guanglu doctor, Kuaiji Chief Shi was promoted to Zhonglang General, and his title was almost as high as Guannei Marquis. His power extended from one county to the entire south, and he even had to nod for some matters in Huainan Kingdom.
Zhuang Qingzhai broke out in cold sweat. Those people just said it, but the scary thing was that the emperor was accurate in everything, and no one objected. Zhuang Qingzhai understood that these things had been discussed long ago.
I kept it secret from him alone. I am afraid that even the greedy and lustful uncle Guo next to me is also involved.
Throughout the court meeting, Zhuang Qingzhai didn't say a word. As the representative of the veteran ministers, he had no chance to speak. The emperor and other ministers crowded around you, and you were able to stand in the court and be ranked among the three nobles just because of Zhuang Qingzhai's face.
It was thick enough, or the emperor was still thinking of the good of the Empress Dowager and did not drive away the prime minister and the imperial censor selected by the Empress Dowager. The courtiers discussed it together, the emperor issued a message, and soon someone wrote an imperial edict and stamped it.
The jade seal was sent to Kuaiji at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles.
Zhuang Qingzhai stumbled into the house, and Han Yan was waiting in the study. Seeing Han Yan at this time, Zhuang Qingzhai felt a little regretful. Although he was not the emperor's confidant, he was still someone close to the emperor. Why did he listen to Han Yan by mistake?
Yan's lies got caught up in the thief ship of Princess Guantao.
"Master Censor, the issue in court today is to order Su Ren to return to Chang'an?" Seeing Zhuang Qingzhai come in, Han Yan stood up quickly.
Zhuang Qingzhai shook his head: "You guessed wrong! Your Majesty has no intention of summoning Su Ren back."
"Oh? No way, a few days ago..."
Zhuang Qingzhai sneered and looked at Han Yan, feeling that this Han Yan was even more ridiculous than him. He was the emperor's absolute confidant and grew up with the emperor. There were even rumors that Han Yan and the emperor were as good as Long Yang, even if they were
Such a relationship has been manipulated by the emperor, but it seems that he is not so miserable.
Han Yan realized that she had been deceived by the emperor, and quickly asked: "When will the emperor plan to recall Su Ren?"
"We can't come back in a short time. Although the Yue people are defeated, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who need to be resettled. His Majesty has decreed that the resettlement of the Yue people will be left to Su Ren. He has promoted Su Ren to the rank of Guanglu doctor and Zhonglang.
"General." Zhuang Qingzhai laughed self-deprecatingly: "Now Su Ren is in charge of the army and the people. He is the biggest in the Jianghuai area. Even the three countries of Huainan, Jiujiang, and Hengshan must listen to him."
"Ah! Your Majesty actually gave Su Ren such authority?"
"Are you jealous?" Zhuang Qingzhai smiled contemptuously: "If someone makes a great contribution, ten thousand county soldiers will annihilate the Yue people. Even if the Marquis of Huaiyin and the Marquis Jiang are alive, they probably won't be able to do this."
Han Yan frowned and remained silent for a long time: "This matter cannot end like this. I will go to Huainan in person tomorrow to meet the King of Huainan."
"You are a close minister of His Majesty, can you get away?"
Han Yan opened the door and walked straight away. Zhuang Qingzhai didn't care. He sat in his seat and felt calm. Zhu Maichen and Bian Tong came in. They and Chao Chao were all disciples of Zhuang Qingzhai.
He was deeply respected by Zhuang Qingzhai. Usually, Zhuang Qingzhai would discuss things with the two of them when something happened, and he was known as the Three Essences. This was the first time that the two of them took the initiative to get together.
Zhuang Qingzhai invited the two of them to sit down. Zhu Maichen and Biantong looked at each other and said, "Why is Marquis Wu Qiang so sad? Can you tell me two, so that we can share the worries of Marquis Wu Qiang."
Zhuang Qingzhai smiled and shook his head: "It's just trivial matters during the court, nothing major."
Bian Tong added: "Is it related to Dr. Zhong? Mr. Zhong is a close minister of His Majesty. If Marquis Wu Qiang offends him, it will be very detrimental to you."
"He is nothing but a close official, just a clown. It's okay not to mention him."
"Oh? It seems that Dr. Zhong has lost power. In this case, Marquis Wu Qiang should not get too close to him. It would be very inappropriate if His Majesty knew about it."
Zhuang Qingzhai nodded: "Well, that's right. I'll give the order tomorrow."
Bian Tong added: "In the past few days, there are rumors about Su Ren's achievements in the streets and alleys of Chang'an. He is known as a rare talent in the world. He conquered the four Lingnan countries and captured hundreds of thousands of Yue people. I don't know how your Majesty will deal with such a major event.
If you need help from the two of us, please ask Marquis Wu Qiang for advice."
"Hey! I don't have to worry about this matter. His Majesty has decreed that the matter of resettling the people of Yue will be left to Su Ren. Su Ren has a delicate heart, and these things cannot be difficult for him." Zhuang Qingzhai leaned against him.
On the armrest: "However, there are not many people around Su Ren. If I recommend you two to His Majesty, Your Majesty may recruit you. You two gentlemen must be prepared to show off your talents when they arrive in Kuaiji. You can only stay here with me."
Buried two talents."
When Zhu Maichen and Bian Tong heard this, they were overjoyed and quickly stood up and knelt down: "Thank you so much, Marquis Wu Qiang, for your cultivation. I will never forget my kindness."
Zhuang Qingzhai waved his hand: "I still want to advise you, work diligently when you get to Kuaiji, and don't get into an argument with Su Ren. If it comes to His Majesty, Your Majesty will never show mercy for Su Ren."
The two of them bowed again and said they didn't dare.
Zhu Maichen and Bian Tong were very excited about the good things that fell from the sky. The purpose of coming to Chang'an was to seek an official position, but it was a pity that they never had the chance, so they relied on others. Now that they have finally survived, there is no reason to be unhappy. The two of them are not happy.
After returning to their room, they walked out of Zhuang Qingzhai's house together, hoping to find a wine shop to celebrate. The most famous wine shop in Chang'an City was Cuixianglou, which was not far away, so the two of them came together.
"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Bian, are you two here too?" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a mustache that twitched a few times, making him stand out.
Zhu Maichen and Biantong turned around quickly. When they saw this person, they saluted quickly: "It turns out to be Mr. Wang, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
The trajectories of Wang Dynasty, Zhu Maichen, and Bian Tong were basically the same. A few years ago, they came to Chang'an together to seek official positions. However, no one's luck was good, and no matter how hard they tried, there was no result. Zhu Maichen was once discouraged.
Leng, prepared to seek refuge with his friend Yan Zhu, but was persuaded by the dynasty and Biantong. According to the historical trajectory, Zhu Maichen went to Kuaiji to give the court suggestions for countering the rebellion of the Yue people, which was appreciated by Liu Che, so he started as the prefect of Kuaiji and served successively as governor.
He was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Prime Minister's Office, and then recommended the dynasty to the Prime Minister. Bian Tong, the three of them together became the Chief Officer of the Prime Minister's Office, and they rose to great heights together.
The strange thing about the matter is that because of Su Ren's arrival, Zhu Maichen was unable to go to Kuaiji, so he naturally had no chance to offer advice to the court, so he is still Zhuang Qingzhai's disciple until now. The three of them met here early,
They still regard each other as brothers, which is probably the so-called "similarity".
"Hahaha, you two are looking happy, there must be something good going on, right?" Wang Chao clasped his hands behind his back and accepted the two people's visit with peace of mind: "If I am not wrong, Marquis Wu Qiang is going to recommend these two to His Majesty, right?"
Zhu Maichen smiled and said: "Mr. Wang is indeed a god. Just now Marquis Wu Qiang agreed. Mr. Wang saw it at a glance and I admire him."
"If that's the case, why would you recommend these two officials?"
Bian Tong rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Wang, let's take a guess. It's right. We'll pay for the drink."
"Hahaha... Then you're welcome!"
The three of them entered Cuixiang Building. It was noon, and the business in Cuixiang Building was just right. Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them went up to the private room on the second floor. Wang Chao, the oldest, sat down naturally. After some polite remarks, the topic changed.
Back to what happened just now.
Wang Chao looked at the two people on his left and right: "It's not Kuaiji, is it?"
Zhu Maichen was startled: "Mr. Wang is really right, it is Kuaiji. Now it is the time to employ people in Kuaiji. We have ambitions and can put them to use when we go there. It is better than staying in Chang'an. The two of us are
I decided to pay attention this time and work hard this time to earn a future for myself."
Bian Tong nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Wang is willing to go with you, and the three of us will also take care of you."
Chao Chao shook his head: "Although Kuaiji is good, Su Ren is a merchant. You and I have read poetry and books, how can we stay under this man? Even if we soar into the sky in the future, we will be criticized by the world. Not only will I not go, but I would like to advise you."
Gentlemen, it would be better for you to cancel this trip."
Zhu Maichen and Bian Tong immediately frowned and remained silent for a long time. (To be continued)
