Han Shizu

Chapter 1165
Outside the bamboo hut, a horse galloped lightly, and the crisp sound of horse hoofs attracted the attention of the boys and girls who were studying.

However, following Zhao Pu's light cough, they became obedient.Outside the court, someone came to rein in the horse, jumped down lightly, led the horse inside, fastened the rein habitually and skillfully, adjusted his clothes, and walked into the bamboo hall.

This is a young man with a handsome face, and he is Zhao Pu's eldest son Zhao Chengzong.Zhao Pu is also nearly fifty years old, with two sons and two daughters under his knees, and the eldest Zhao Chengzong is only now. This is also a common phenomenon. High-ranking officials and nobles who have come out of troubled times all the way have children born relatively late.

Zhao Chengzong entered, stood still, and bowed: "Father!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Pu was very satisfied with his eldest son.

On the side, his younger brother and younger sister have already started calling him big brother.Seeing this situation, Zhao Pu waved his hand and said, "That's it for today!"

Then a group of men, women and children, as if they were relieved, smiled like flowers.However, they all respected the etiquette and thanked each other.

The bamboo hut became quiet, Zhao Chengzong took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhao Pu who was already sitting on the desk: "The edict has been promulgated, and His Majesty will drive westward to Luoyang on March 25th."

During this period of time, Zhao Pu lived in seclusion in a poor hut, and his contact with the outside world and the acquisition of news were all through this son.Hearing this, Zhao Pu began to think directly: "The trip will start on the 25th, and it will be early summer when we arrive in Luoyang. If we will also be the new capital of Luoyang, I'm afraid that the southern tour will have to be put on hold!"

As early as last year, Emperor Liu expressed that he would go on another southern tour to inspect Lianghu and Lingnan, but he was stopped by Prince Liu Yang and others.The reason is also very simple. I am concerned about Emperor Liu's body. After all, the environment in the south is relatively harsh, and it is not the land of wind and snow in the south of the Yangtze River.In addition, during the tour to the south of the Yangtze River last year, many of the entourage also fell ill.

"Have you ever notified who are the accompanying personnel?" Zhao Pu asked after thinking about it.

Zhao Chengzong replied: "The harem, the princes, and all the officials are all accompanying. In Tokyo, only the prime minister Wang Pu, Dou Yi, and some officials from the government are left in charge."

"This means that most of the imperial court has been moved to Luoyang!" Zhao Pu smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Zhao Chengzong said: "Before, because of the move of the capital, the Manchu Dynasty was in turmoil. Now that Luoyang is newly built and the palace is completed, His Majesty chose this opportunity to bring the royal family and officials to the west. This can be regarded as the completion of the de facto move of the capital. It lives up to its name!"

"It's rare for my son to have this insight!" Hearing what he said, Zhao Pu showed a satisfied expression.

Zhao Chengzong expressed his modesty: "Among the government and the public, everyone who knows something about this matter knows it. My little knowledge is nothing!"

"Luoyang City should be very lively now!" Zhao Pu said.

"In Luoyang City, the governor of the Murong government is already working on welcoming the driver! The government has ordered that the officials and the people work together to clean up the dirt and refresh the city.

"This Emperor Murong has always been like this, and he likes to do such disturbing things!" Zhao Pu shook his head, commenting, but not too contemptuous.

"There must be some important job changes in the court!" After thinking for a while, Zhao Pu asked again, with a look of concern glowing in his deep eyes.

Zhao Chengzong nodded and said: "Mr. Xue Ji was transferred to Sichuan and Shu, and served as the political envoy of Jiannan; Marquis of Wuyang, Shangshu Li Yejia Tongpingzhangshi, and Zhaowenguan University Bachelor, joined the Zhengshitang to assist the government!"

Hearing this, Zhao Pu said leisurely: "Back then when Xue Juzheng was dismissed, the raw materials could be restored within a few years. I never thought that he had been editing history and compiling books in Jixian Palace for nearly ten years. It is reasonable for him to be out of town. ;As for this country's uncle Li Ye, it seems that His Majesty still cares about the empress dowager's affection, since the empress dowager is not here, he will no longer suppress Li's relatives!"

Hearing the old father talk about such things, Zhao Chengzong also seemed very interested, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you have been the governor of the Southwest for many years. After the Lingzhou case, the court is mostly discussing whether it will make major adjustments to the Southwest officialdom, or send someone to succeed you." Governor, now it seems that apart from you, no one can entrust His Majesty with this post."

"The post of governor is not strictly enforced, it's just a temporary assignment! Southwest Anzhi has been governed for so many years, and I, the governor, should have been abolished long ago. The Lingzhou case."

When the Lingzhou case was brought up, Zhao Pu's face suddenly darkened, he regretted his ignorance, and also hated the governor of Yanjian for doing such stupid things.

Lingzhou is an important place for salt affairs in the southwest. After the Pingshu, after the follow-up rectification, the salt wells in the state can produce 800,000 catties of salt every year. Such a rich place, how could these two small characters be able to cover the sky with one hand.

The destruction of the salt well caused death and injury. If you report the truth, even if you need to take responsibility, you will be dismissed from office and demoted.However, he wanted the officials to deceive their hearts and deceive the court, which caused them to lose their lives.Wasn't the result of the Hezhong case vigilant enough? Even the An's children, the court was not lenient in handling it, let alone a poor family.

More importantly, those two were recommended by Zhao Pu, implicated himself, and added twists and turns to his return to the court.You know, in the past two years, because of Zhao Pu's outstanding achievements in the southwest, Emperor Liu had already expressed his willingness to transfer him back to the court, and Zhao Pu was also looking forward to it.Moreover, if nothing else happened, he would be able to pay homage to the prime minister when he returned to the court, even if a certain transition was required, he would still be the head of a large department of the court.

However, because of the problem in Lingzhou, he had to avoid living in filial piety and wait hard.Although the court officials did not intend to hold him accountable for the Lingzhou case, the result did affect his return to court.

That is to say, it coincided with the mother's death, which covered up some things, but there were also voices of discussion from top to bottom, not to mention people who gloated.Zhao Pu was in the southwest, governor of the three provinces, and was repeatedly praised by Emperor Liu. In such a situation, how can he not be envied by others, but most people are not as "upright" as Zhao Xuan, and dare to directly confront Zhao Pu.

"Father, look at His Majesty's western tour, maybe this is your chance to recover!" As the eldest son, Zhao Chengzong certainly understood his father's aspirations and thoughts.

Regarding his son's explanation, Zhao Pu smiled, pretending to be casual and said: "How many years have you stayed in the southwest, and you have only worked so hard for so long. It is rare to have such a leisure time, and you should cherish it. I owe a lot to your grandmother. Keeping the filial piety here can be regarded as making up for mistakes.”

When Zhao Pu said this, it was obviously insincere.

Zhao Chengzong sighed silently, pondered for a while, and took the initiative to find a topic: "Father, I have a question, please enlighten me!"

"Say it!" Zhao Pu looked at him.

"As for the discussion about moving the capital, although the dust has settled now, which of the two capitals do you think is more suitable for the capital? At the beginning, I also participated in the discussion with a group of schoolmates, and it was difficult to convince the other party," Zhao Chengzong said.

Hearing this, Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and gave a very simple answer: "If Your Majesty wants to relocate, who can object? You wait to entangle the pros and cons, it's just a pointless dispute!"

As he said that, Zhao Pu's eyes showed a little reminiscence: "Although I only served by His Majesty's side for a few short years, I still have a little understanding of His Majesty.

Today's son is the unborn hero, the genus of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.Although His Majesty admired the rule of Zhenguan, he followed the example of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty to open up his way of speaking, follow advice like a stream, and collect opinions from others whenever something happens.

However, His Majesty has always been a very determined emperor, with a strong will and determination. His name is like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, but his temperament is really similar to that of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty.The words of the ministers are accepted if they like it, and rejected if they don't agree.

Such a major matter as moving the capital is brought up for discussion by the officials, but it is just a reaction, how to make a decision depends entirely on the Sacred Heart.Don't look at Duke Yu being regarded as a teacher, but in this matter, his words are useless.

The choice of the two capitals has both advantages and disadvantages. For the big man, they are both suitable and harmless to the country.Therefore, if I was in the court back then, I don’t need to spend that unnecessary talk, just bow my head and listen to the imperial edict.”

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Zhao Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help muttering: "So, isn't it flattery?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pu glared at him immediately, Zhao Chengzong immediately stopped talking, and said cautiously: "I made a slip of the tongue!"

"What I said to you must not be passed on, otherwise, it will cause disaster!" Zhao Pu said sternly. After all, this involves a question of criticizing the emperor, which is of a bad nature.

"I understand!" Zhao Chengzong was naturally not stupid.
