Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1427
"This place is good. In the Indo-China Peninsula, there are several large estuary deltas. You can see the Lishui Plain, the lower reaches of the Nujiang River, the Lancang River Delta, and the Lancang River Valley Plain...the whole is a huge granary. , the weather here is good, there are three kinds of crops a year, the land is fertile, and the water is sufficient, you can harvest the millet if you sprinkle it casually, and even some land will neither plow nor sow after cutting a crop, just wait for the rice stubble If it grows again, it will harvest [-]%, damn it, it will make people jealous." Cun Xiao said while pulling a prawn.

"Father, don't all these fertile granaries now belong to our Daqin, so there is nothing to envy."

While the two were talking and laughing, a Kunlun slave came up to work.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Yushi is visiting outside, saying that there is important news from the capital to convey to Your Majesty."

This Zhao Yushi is a patrol censor. Although his official position is low, only rank seven, he has a lot of power.The Daqin court had supervisory censors in the six capitals and nine prefectures. These supervisory censors belonged directly to the Yushitai, and were not under the jurisdiction of the local procuratorate and procuratorate, but belonged to the central committee.

The inspector censors are carefully selected from among these supervisory censors. For each of them, two candidates are selected by the censor platform and brought to the emperor to ask the emperor to appoint them. These candidates must be You must be a Jinshi from the imperial examination, and you must have held more than three local positions, that is to say, you must have at least nine years of practical government experience.

Once they are selected by the emperor, they will go out on patrol on behalf of the emperor. They will make decisions on major matters and make decisions on small matters. The emperor exercised the power of supervision and supervised the big with the small.

Not only the three envoys of various provinces are subject to their supervision, not to mention the county magistrates, captains and county magistrates below, even the feudal vassals, princes, knights, and even the officers of the military region are all under their supervision. within range.

As a small supervisor, as a humble supervisor, with a title of seventh rank, he can sit on an equal footing with the three envoys, vassal kings, feudal lords, and generals within one line.

"Zhao Xun has pressed it, how can I neglect it, please hurry up."

Although Luo Cunxiao is like an emperor in Lishui Road, when he heard that the Son of Heaven had arrived, he still didn't dare to neglect. These people are of low rank, but they come from a decent background. , and then the third envoy, who will even enter the central provincial department in the future, and may even worship the prime minister.

They are of low rank, but Luo Cunxiao knows that these people represent the emperor.

The majesty of the emperor cannot be offended.

Don't look at the seventh rank of others, but if the situation is urgent, they can mobilize the garrison. This right of opportunity is cheap, but it is something that a feudal lord like him can't even think about.

"Zhao Xun press!"

Luo Cunxiao took his son Defang to the door to greet him.

Zhao Xunyong is tall and tall, with fair skin and clean face, but he is not very young, he is also in his 30s. After he was a Jinshi in high school, he studied in Taixue, went to Shangshu Province for an internship, and then let out a county magistrate Cao participated in the military, and because of his excellent performance in the examination, he was promoted to the county chief book in another county.

After his term of office expired, he was transferred to the county to serve as the law Cao and the military. After his term expired, he was transferred to the Yushitai, and finally became the supervisory censor, and was finally appointed as the inspector censor.

It can be said that along the way, every step has been solid, and I have not made the slightest mistake. I am very outstanding, so I was able to take up this glorious post of inspector when I was in my 30s.

"Your official pays homage to the King of Lijiang, and the King of Ruiguang County."

Luo Luofang also hurriedly returned the gift, not daring to ask too much, even though Ruiguang Port is so prosperous, he is also enfeoffed here, but Daqin's enfeoffment system, although the enfeoffment system is broken, it does not face the people, nor does it command the army, and what it enjoys is only some It is just economic and political privileges. For example, he can have more land here, enjoy a lot of income from the fief, and even have his own guards, palace and castle, and his own government staff. wait.

But in such an important sea trade port as Ruiguang, there are not only the prefect's mansion, but also the navy's ship barracks, the garrison of the military region, the city ship department, the dispatched agency of the Royal Fleet, and even the Jinyiwei and Huangcheng department. branch unit.

He, Ruiguang County King, can be said to be noble at ordinary times, and he would never dare to mess around.

Seeing a censor like Xun Press who supervises on behalf of the emperor is more polite than seeing the third envoy and prefect.

"The King of Lijiang has been in Ruiguang for a while, right?" Zhao Yushi asked.

Luo Cunxiao nodded, "Come here and have a look at my second child. I have reported this matter to the saint, and I have also reported it to the military area and the third division's office."

"This subordinate knows." Zhao Xun was very polite.

"Your Majesty heard that King Ruili originally planned to wait for a while and go north by boat from the port?"

"Well, I came to Beijing Chaoji. I happened to come to this seaside. Naturally, I took a sea boat back to the Central Plains. The sea boat was faster. Compared with my journey back to the Central Plains from Lijiang, I had to use horses, carts, and boats. It was too hard to keep switching. .”

"It's true, starting from Ruiguang Port, you can go straight to Hangzhou Port, and then transfer to the canal treasure ship, and you can go straight to Luoyang along the Grand Canal. It's really convenient." Zhao Yushi still smiled, "Your Majesty, Come on, there are some things that need to be notified to the king. The imperial edict has just been sent from Luoyang, and the sage is going to abdicate and pass the throne to His Royal Highness the crown prince. Ministers, as well as officials of rank five and above, all went to Beijing to participate in the succession ceremony, and congratulate the Crown Prince on his enthronement."

"So, King Ruili, you may need to go north ahead of time."

Luo Cunxiao was stunned.

"The emperor is going to abdicate and pass the throne to the crown prince?"

Governor Zhao nodded with a smile, but he found that the fat ball-like King of Lijiang's eyes became more and more fierce, and even showed a look of cannibalism. He couldn't help but think of the folk legend that Luo Cunxiao chased the prince of Piao back then. When the story of cannibalism comes, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart.

"The sage is in good health, why would he suddenly want to abdicate? Could it be that there is a rebellious minister in the capital who wants to support the crown prince to cause chaos, wants to seize power, wants to change the palace?"

"Or, has the palace changed?" Cunxiao asked coldly.

Zhao Xunyin couldn't help being terrified, "Why do you think that the emperor and the crown prince are kind and filial? No one in the world knows that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are full of righteousness and prosperity. There may be some rebellious officials and thieves, how could there be a palace coup?"

"The emperor is fine, why would he take the initiative to abdicate?"

"This is the imperial decree passed down from Beijing. It was issued from the gate of Zhongshu. It has the signatures and seals of the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and the Imperial Academy. There are many seals and signatures. There is also the emperor's jade seal." Zhao Xun pressed somewhat. Panic.

He hadn't thought of going there at all before, but now that Cunxiao said that, he was a little skeptical, after all, the emperor was only in his [-]th birthday, why would he want to abdicate after his [-]th birthday?

"This is not quite right!"

Cun Xiao shook his head.

"I see that there is chaos in the capital, and I want to raise troops to serve the king!"

At this time, the Kunlun slave steward came to report again, saying that a supervisor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to see him.

"The inner prisoner?"

Cunxiao was even more puzzled. The Inner Supervisor was an eunuch under the sixth grade of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was in charge of rituals, performances, edicts, and accounts of women.This is already a high-ranking eunuch, and they are all eunuchs in charge. Although they sometimes go out to play, they are only in the capital.

After seeing the inner prisoner, he took out a letter.

"I came all the way by boat, and the journey finally went smoothly. King Lijiang, this is a letter from the sage. The sage said that he was worried that you would have doubts after receiving the edict, so he wrote a letter to you alone. After you read it, you will be happy." I can understand the thoughts of the saints."

Cunxiao took the letter half-believingly, carefully checked the seal, etc., then carefully opened it, read it carefully, and received the letter.

"Your servant is ordered to go north to Beijing to participate in the ceremony!"

Without this personal letter, Luo Cunxiao would not have believed that his brother Luo Cheng would abdicate on his own initiative at the age of 60. He would have wondered whether there was a palace coup in Beijing, or whether the emperor had passed away suddenly and the crown prince secretly No accidents such as mourning.

Now that I have read my brother's autographed letter, although I don't really support the emperor's passing of the throne, I already believe that this is the emperor's decision, and the capital is not surprised.

"Clean up and set sail to the north early." Luo Cunxiao shook his head helplessly. The brother emperor had done a good job, but he was going to abdicate. Could it be that he was confused.
