Houmen's concubine

Chapter 373
Emperor Mingzheng was even more delighted, and said loudly: "Okay, it's my duty to be a courtier!"

Wu Zhi took a step forward, held the imperial decree in his hand, and read it loudly to the ministers: "The Cabinet Attendant, Huawen Pavilion, has made great contributions to donating medicine and prescriptions, and he is old and strong. Academician, hereby!"

Huawen Pavilion's face was full of red light, and he walked forward with a jade wat in his hand, facing the emperor on the dragon throne, he lifted his robe and knelt down, shouting loudly like a bell: "Chen Huawen Pavilion, thank the Lord for your kindness!"

Emperor Mingzheng said softly, "Aiqing, you are flat."

Huawenge stood up and felt that the old wife is really a koi...
If it wasn't for my old wife, I would still be doing nothing in Wuwei Mountain!It's great to be back at the imperial court where I thought so hard!
Xie Yuheng, Xu Jinshen, Ji Yu: Congratulations!
Hua Yu; father is father—cow!

Xu Wenguang stroked his gray beard with his hand, he felt relieved!Haha... two levels in a row!
Brother Hua really did not disappoint, he really found a way to cure the plague, what a great achievement!

Huawen Pavilion has been promoted to two ranks in less than a month since returning to the court.It's not a good job to cure the plague. Needless to say, going to such a wild place, the problem is that there is a risk of infection!

Besides, it's also a thankless job that won't bring you any money...
While the courtiers were speechless, most of them were envious and jealous...
After a moment of silence, someone called out.

The incident happened when Zhou Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took a step forward and bowed to Tianyan and said: "My lord, the climate in northern Xinjiang this year is colder than in previous years. Although there are supplies of food and winter clothes, more clothes must be added. For food, I suggest not only to add clothes and food, but also to send some firewood, so as to resist the severe cold and prevent the officers and soldiers from being frostbitten."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhou Bin finished speaking, Cheng Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, held the jade wat with both hands to open his position, and vetoed loudly: "My Majesty, I believe that in the time of peace, the redundant soldiers should be disarmed and returned to the fields. Also save A lot of military pay and unnecessary military supplies...Moreover, the frontier soldiers have not returned for many years, it is time to announce their return to the court and reunite with their families."

Everyone knows that Cheng Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a capable student of Taishi Ji. He used to be the accompanying student of the former prince, and he is also the uncle of the elder Baige.However, this person is also very talented, and he sat in this position as the number one scholar.

In addition, Emperor Mingzheng also cherished talents, and Cheng Wei's family also contributed a lot when Emperor Mingzheng ascended the throne.

What Cheng Shangshu said is true, like Zhou Tong, the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang, he guarded the territory and did not return to Beijing for nearly ten years.He should return to Beijing to recuperate.

Zhou Tong is nearly forty years old, and he is the youngest brother of the current Empress Dowager Zhou, with a tiger body and ape arms, a majestic general.

Standing in the formation, Xu Jinshen glanced at General Xu who was about to step forward to fight for reason, and thought to himself; every time there is a disagreement, let the seniors make the head rafters and rush forward!
At any rate, as a third-rank general, it was time for me to express my different political opinions to the emperor and the seniors.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinshen held the jade wat in his hand and bowed to Emperor Mingzheng, who was above him, and said, "My Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Oh?" Mingzheng raised his eyebrows.

"According to Wei Chen's knowledge, what is facing the northern border is the Siamese people who border our Great Zhou Dynasty. The Siamese people have a small population, but they are fierce by nature and make a living as nomads. If the troops are reduced at this time, the Siamese What if the clan invades?"

Unexpectedly, Taishi Ji stroked his flowing white beard, smiled "haha", and said directly to Xu Jinshen: "Master Xu, you are too young, and a few powerful barbarians are afraid that they will fail." ?”

Xie Yuheng looked at Xu Jinshen with scrutiny, but didn't say a word. He wanted to try his own brother, besides his martial arts skills, how about his IQ?Is it both civil and military?In the future, when he is not in the court, can he assist Xu Wenguang, so that he does not let him take the lead alone?
He made a gesture to Huawen Pavilion who was about to go out.
Xu Jinshen really didn't disappoint Xie Yuheng, he had already done enough homework on the frontier affairs, and he had a well-thought-out plan.

He bowed his hands to Taishi Ji, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his voice was clear and powerful: "If you go back to Taishi Ji, the Siamese will be disrespectful, but my lord, you must forget that the Siamese who are next to you have always been with the Great Zhou. The Great Jin Dynasty, who is staring at it like a tiger!"

If the Jin Dynasty knows that they have reduced their troops and provincial generals in the Zhou Dynasty, they will return to the dynasty.hehe!There will be unimaginable consequences...

Ancient times are not modern times. The capital is thousands of miles away from the frontier. When the Jin Dynasty makes a big attack, it should be out of reach!
Xu Wenguang also gave Xu Jinshen a slightly appreciative look, stroked his gray beard and nodded.

For a while, some people agreed with Xu Jinshen's opinion, while others agreed with Taishi Ji's statement.

Before they could come to a conclusion in their discussion, Elder Baige stepped forward and held the jade wat in front of Emperor Mingzheng, holding it high in front of his forehead: "My Majesty, I have something to play."

Emperor Mingzheng was about to speak out to announce Huawen Pavilion, and asked him what he thought about this matter?Unexpectedly, Mr. Bai Ge took the lead.

"Well, let's talk!" Emperor Ming Zheng's voice was a few degrees colder.

"Your Majesty, next year will be the draft year every four years. Do you think you should start preparing for it?"

Next year will coincide with the triennial imperial examination, which also happens to be the draft year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.The courtiers are keen on drafting daughters, because their daughters or granddaughters have reached the age of discussing marriage, and the emperor is in his prime.And he was born like a dragon and a phoenix.

The emperor didn't pay attention to sex, and there were not many concubines in the harem. Although there were dozens of beautiful women left in every draft, most of them became court ladies or female officials.

After all, the position of the empress and phoenix has been determined early, and there is no role for their daughter, but there are still three concubines among the imperial concubine and six concubines who are one level lower than the empress.

Therefore, the minister who has a daughter to be married at home is ready to move...
Besides, there is no such thing as an errand, which is as easy as the draft.

Because this is an errand that has both received grace and no responsibility.

Elder Baige took the lead, and Prime Minister Xu, who had been silent all this time, followed closely and stood in the middle, holding the jade wat in his hand, and echoed respectfully: "Your Majesty, this subject is also going to report this matter to the Emperor."

The customary etiquette department is responsible for predicting good and bad luck, selecting auspicious days, and preparing ceremonies for post-draft;
The Ministry of Household Affairs is not only in charge of financial power, but also responsible for the registration of lists including drafts. It can be said that it is a fat job that earns both fame and fortune.

Before, other officials were trying their best to send their well-bred daughter to the palace, but Prime Minister Xu took it lightly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the ex-son-in-law Xie Yuheng beside him, who was rude to his ex-father-in-law, with mixed feelings in his heart...

　Xu Wenguang: Brother Hua is still the same as 20 years ago, you are not the one who built it!

　　Huawenge: Hey, I'm ashamed, this credit is all given by my old wife!

　　Hua Yu: Daddy is really awesome...
