Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1373 The Dust Settles
After the emperor returned to Beijing, he held the first Xuanzheng Palace imperial meeting.

Zaifu gathered together.

In five years, the emperor has changed and matured, and many ministers who haven't seen him for five years have also grown old.Fang Xuanling's Fang Mou Duan was much older and had a lot of gray hair, while Du Ruhui was coughing constantly and was already seriously ill.

He has been on sick leave for more than a year, and he struggled to attend this imperial meeting.For him, knowing that time is running out, he just wants to attend another imperial meeting and explain to the emperor the tasks of the past few years.

Zhang Xutuo had completely retired, and returned home with the honorary title of Grand Tutor. Song Laosheng, the privy envoy who took over, also retired more than a year ago, and Xu Shiji took over Song Laosheng.Deputy Privy Envoy Zhou Dewei has been transferred to Minister of the Ministry of War. Qin Qiong, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, has been appointed as the right servant of the sect because of the expiration of his term.

Qu Tutong, the prime minister and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is an old man who has become an official. Hou Mochen, the left servant of his sect, has also stayed in the position for many years.

The prime ministers have also begun to normalize their term of office, with one term for three years and a maximum of two consecutive terms. Generally, they will be transferred to other positions after the term expires.Those who have reached the age will go directly to the official position, and those who are under the age will mostly become the guards of the other five capitals.

"Shangshu Zuopushe, Du Ruhui, Duke of Fuyuan Kingdom, has arrived!"

Sing and drink.

Eight Habayashi together carried a small chariot straight to the steps of the Xuanzheng Hall.

The emperor got up and went out of the hall to meet him.

Du Ruhui looked haggard, his eyes were cloudy.

The famous minister was not yet 50 years old at this time. Seeing the emperor coming out to greet him, he struggled to get off the chariot.

Luo Cheng stepped forward quickly and supported him.

"Du Xiang."

"Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui tightly grasped the emperor's hand, "Your Majesty has finally returned to Beijing. I have been looking forward to your Majesty's return to Beijing as soon as possible. If His Majesty is not in Beijing, the empire will be unstable."

Luo Cheng had asked the King of Medicine about Du Ruhui's illness more than once. Even the King of Medicine couldn't help Du Ruhui. .

Now it's exhausted.

Even if he is the ruler of the world, the Great Qin Emperor who can make the Roman Emperor and the Persian Emperor bow their heads, Luo Cheng can't get rid of Du Ruhui's illness.

"Saint, now that the whole world has surrendered, it's time to flatten the Jiangdong Fan." While speaking, Du Ruhui took out a memorandum, which was his suggestion for the imperial court to flatten the Jiangdong Fan. It contained tens of thousands of words and contained detailed strategies.

"I will help you enter the palace!"

In the Xuanzheng Palace meeting, some faces were missing, and there were also a few more faces.

"I have toured the world this time. I have traveled to many places and seen many things. The country of Daqin is magnificent and the people of the Han family are hardworking. Generally speaking, it is now prosperous, but it is still just at the beginning. Many places The common people do not have enough food and clothing, especially the people in the frontier, especially those former barbarians who are newly naturalized. They are still very ignorant and uncivilized. Stability, people's lives are better than before, everyone has a bright future, and life is very exciting. In the west of us, the two empires of Persia and Rome are still going on for hundreds of years The grievances and enmity wars that have come are inextricably killed. Their people's lives are miserable, they are in dire straits, and they are even displaced because of the war. Many people are burdened with heavy taxes. We are more pleased with our days.”

"Of course, many people have always said that in my heart of China, in Jiangdong, there are still many people whose lives are getting worse and worse. They are also my Han family and my descendants. I am responsible."

"I have already decided that after the new year, the crown prince will be in command to lead the army to conquer the Jiangdong Fan, abolish the separatist rule, and let the people of Jiangdong live a good life."

Du Ruhui, who couldn't stop coughing, took the lead and slapped his palms with the jade wat.

"The prince is kind and stable. If the prince is in command to pacify Jiangdong, it will be a blessing for the people of Jiangdong."

The generals Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin all agreed that the prince should be in command. They have seen the prince's performance in supervising the country and regent in the past few years.

"Decree, worship the prince Jiawen as the marshal of the army and horses, take Xu Shiji as the commander of the army, Li Jing as the commander of the army, Qin Qiong as the deputy commander of the army, Cheng Yaojin as the vanguard of the army, Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, and Ximen Junyi as the army chiefs .”

All the prime ministers were very happy with this edict, and none of them objected. In fact, all these years, everyone has been preparing for Ping Jiangdong.

After all these years of preparation, it has already been prepared.

If the emperor hadn't been on tour for five years, I'm afraid Jiangdong would have been pacified long ago.

As for the prince being in charge, they are even more in favor.

The crown prince's benevolence and stability are deeply loved by the ministers. In the past five years, the emperor has not been in Beijing, and the prince has supervised the country's regent. The ministers in Beijing have never felt so relaxed. They are very trustworthy and never interfere indiscriminately.

With such a superintendent and regent in power, their prime ministers are really easy and smooth to govern, even smoother than when the emperor was there.

Now let the prince pick a ripe peach and accumulate some prestige and reputation. This is a good thing, and everyone agrees with both hands and feet.

A few years ago, there were some rumors that the King of Wu from Concubine Li Gui and the King of Jin from Concubine Changsun Xian were Conghui, who was similar to the emperor, won the emperor's favor, and had the possibility of easy storage, etc. But in recent years, The prince's performance has made his reserve position very stable, and no one is thinking about the battle for the crown prince anymore.

No one can compete with the crown prince Jiawen, unless the crown prince dies suddenly, but the crown prince is tall and mighty, he is good at riding and shooting swords and spears, how could His Highness the crown prince who was only 16 years old suddenly die?
He was neither obese nor had any chronic diseases.

At the end of the meeting, the emperor sent Habayashiro to carry Du Ruhui home, and asked the prince to bring the imperial doctor and medicine to condolences.

But that night, the Du family sent someone to deliver a letter to Luoyang Mansion, and Du Ruhui passed away smiling at home.

Early the next morning, the emperor issued an edict to give Du Ruhui a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title of success for Du Ruhui, who would stay out of court for three days.The eldest son, Du Gou, inherited the title of duke, and enfeoffed his second son, Du He, and his two concubine sons, who were descended to one first class and two second class, respectively. Real fiefs Tween to divide fiefs.

The emperor also specially selected the princess to give Du Gou a marriage, making her the son-in-law captain, to ensure that Du Ruhui's family would not decline even after Du Ruhui's death.

Before long, the emperor ordered his eldest grandson Wuji to worship Zuo Pushe, the Minister, and add the title of Pingzhangshi, and enter the Zhengshitang as a chancellor.On the same day, the emperor issued an imperial edict to confer the king of Jin, born to Concubine Xianxian, as the Black Dragon King, and to establish the Black Dragon Kingdom in the mouth of the Heilongjiang River in the northeast of the Guan, with a fief of eight hundred miles.

Later, the emperor conferred the title of King Ke of Wu, who came from Concubine Li Gui, as King Ruili. The fief is eight hundred miles.

The two princes who were originally favored by the emperor and who were rumored to be crown princes were suddenly entrusted to the mouth of the Heilong River in the extreme north, and to the banks of the Ruili River in the extreme southwest. steady heart.

The crown prince took command of the southern expedition, but the two princes were sealed off, one from the south and the other from the north. Everything was settled and there was no room left.
