Chapter 404 0400 [My husband misses you too]

After confronting Fan Zhongyan, Chen Dong was not satisfied yet, so he targeted Zhao Ding again.

"Your Majesty cares about the people and provides accommodation for the refugees in the city. It is a wise and benevolent act. I hate that traitors like Zhao Ding take the opportunity to bewitch Your Majesty, build large-scale construction projects, waste people and money. Students, please punish Zhao Ding!"

Han Zhen had already experienced a lot of the virtues of the officials of the Inspectorate when he was in Yidu.

Last year, officials from the Inspectorate blocked Zhao Ting, Xie Ding and other high-ranking officials at the gate of Shaoyang Palace, cursed them, and finally labeled them as the Six Thieves.

"Well, I will consider this matter."

Han Zhen nodded and changed the subject: "Are you still helping in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Chen Dong replied: "Your Majesty, the city is now stable and there are many officials in Kaifeng Prefecture. We have returned to the Imperial Academy."

Han Zhen chuckled and said: "With your character and talent, it would be unfair to continue to stay in Taixue. Are you willing to become an official in the court?"

"Students are willing."

Chen Dong hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"it is good!"

Han Zhen ordered: "You will join the Inspectorate and serve as the deputy dean. In a few days, you will be indicted in official uniform."

Chen Dong asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, what are the responsibilities of the Inspectorate?"

Han Zhen said loudly: "It is similar to the Yushitai, but it has greater and broader powers than the Yushitai. It is responsible for the inspection of all civil and military officials!"

"Student, thank you for your kindness."

Chen Dong bowed and bowed.

This job was a perfect fit for him.

Under his own supervision, the traitors in the court will have no way to hide.

After finalizing the matter, Han Zhen asked: "By the way, how many students are there in the Imperial College now?"

Chen Dong replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, there are more than 3,800 people in Taixue alone, and the Guozixue, Four Schools, Song Studies, Legal Studies, Martial Arts, Arithmetic, Calligraphy, and Painting are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College. There are about two to three thousand people in science, medicine and many other disciplines."

Six to seven thousand people were really too many.

And most of these people are just fake people.

When the Imperial College was first established, it was still a place where talents were selected and evaluated. The difficulty of entering the Imperial College was not much lower than that of a high school Jinshi.

Each state capital has only three or five places each year.

However, during the reigns of Zhezong and Huizong, the number of students entering the Imperial College increased dramatically, not relying on their true talents but on recommendation.

For example, Li Bangyan sponsored many scholars who were rushing to take the exam. Some scholars recommended him to the Imperial College after they passed the imperial examination in high school.

As a result, a street gangster suddenly became a royal student.

The key is that the imperial court is responsible for the food and accommodation of so many students in Beijing.

Chen Dong hesitated for a moment and then added: "Although there are many fools in the Imperial College, there are also real people. I hope your Majesty will not ban them."

Hearing this, Han Zhen smiled and said: "Of course I will not abolish the Imperial College. I plan to restructure it and eliminate some mediocre people."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Chen Dong gave him a small flattery.

In his opinion, many of Han Zhen's ideas fit his fancy, such as cleaning up mediocre people, and imposing severe penalties on human trafficking and buyers.

This is why he readily agreed to become an official in the court.

Han Zhen ordered: "I have given you an errand. You have been in Taixue for many years and should be very familiar with the Imperial College. When you return, you will draw up a list of professors with real talents in various disciplines and submit it to you."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Chen Dong cupped his hands in response, then turned and left.

Looking at Chen Dong's leaving figure, Han Zhen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The restructuring of the Imperial College is inevitable. He plans to cancel some subjects and expand the enrollment of some subjects.

For example, important subjects such as agriculture, medicine, arithmetic, and engineering will be separated from the Imperial College and established as independent colleges like Imperial College.

At this moment, Liu Chang hurriedly entered the main hall and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, the secret passage has been found!"

"Oh?"

Han Zhen came to his senses and asked: "How many places were found?"

Liu Chang replied: "There are three places in total!"

Han Zhen stood up and said, "Take me to have a look."

"Your Majesty, please."

After leaving Chui Gong Hall, Liu Chang led Han Zhen straight to Yanfu Palace and said, "Two of the secret passages are in Yanfu Palace and one is in Guangsheng Palace."

Guangsheng Palace, like Yanfu Palace, was a place of entertainment for emperors and empresses.

Guangsheng Palace is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city. In addition to water pavilions and pavilions, there is also a platform for observing the stars.

Zhao Ji also studied astronomy very deeply. He often went to the platform to observe the stars at night.

Not long after, Han Zhen came to Yanfu Palace.

Yanfu Palace occupies a large area, with endless palaces, pavilions and pavilions. A pond is dug into the sea and a spring is used to form a lake.

Among them, there are no less than fifty palaces, large and small.

It was built by Tong Guan, Yang Jian and other five eunuchs, who spent tens of millions of money and worked hard to build it.

It is no wonder that after the Yanfu Palace was repaired, Zhao Ji always lived in it. Compared with other old palaces in the Houyuan, Yanfu Palace is like a dazzling pearl.

The Yanfu Palace alone is so big, so it’s no wonder that the secret passage is so difficult to find.

After entering Yanfu Palace, Liu Chang led Han Zhen towards the east, walked through the corridors and gardens, and finally came to Huifu Pavilion.

Stepping into the Huifu Pavilion, Han Zhen found that the pavilion was decorated with Taoist temples. There were statues of the Three Pure Ones on the high platform, and the Four Royals and the Four Saints of the North Pole were hung on the left and right walls.

Looking around, Han Zhen asked: "Where is the secret passage?"

"In Lishe."

Liu Chang said, taking the lead to walk towards Lishe.

This is where Zhao Ji usually practices Taoism and meditates. The decoration of the room is quiet and mysterious. On the wall facing the door, there is a huge gilded Bagua hanging.

"Your Majesty, the secret passage is behind this Bagua."

Liu Chang stepped forward and put his hand on Bagua's Liangyi.

But with a crisp clicking sound, he easily pushed aside the seemingly heavy gilded baguette, revealing the secret passage behind it.

Han Zhen asked: "Can you send someone to see where it leads first?"

Liu Chang replied respectfully: "No, when I found out, I immediately came to inform Your Majesty." "Yes."

Han Zhen nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and immediately called loudly: "Lao Jiu!"

"The general is here!"

Lao Jiu, who was guarding outside the attic, immediately walked in quickly.

Han Zhen pointed at the secret and said, "Go down and have a look."

"Yes!"

Without saying a word, Lao Jiu found a lantern and entered the secret passage.

After half an hour, he came back.

Lao Jiu gasped, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this place leads to a courtyard in Dongjier Lane. There is no one in the courtyard, but there are traces of people living there. According to the dust accumulated on the table, it should not be more than seven days old. The general guesses that this passage is most likely the one through which Emperor Zhao and Song escaped."

Han Zhen ordered: "Go and see the other two secret passages."

After leaving Huifu Pavilion, Liu Chang led him to Fuyu Pavilion on the west side. The passage here was the one leading to Fan Tower.

The secret passage of Guangsheng Palace leads to a house in Beicheng.

Looking at the secret passage in front of him, Han Zhen asked: "How many eunuchs and maids were there in total who discovered these three secret passages?"

Liu Chang said with a questioning tone in his tone: "There are four people in total, will they..."

Han Zhen frowned slightly and said with an unhappy expression: "Don't kill people easily. You and Lao Jiu also know the secret. Do I want to kill you two too?"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I know I was wrong."

Liu Chang was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Get up."

Han Zhen waved his hand and ordered: "Each of these four people will be rewarded with hundreds of coins. From now on, they will be responsible for guarding these three secret passages."

Liu Chang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "I understand."

……

All the way back to Chui Gong Hall, before my butt was hot from sitting, I saw Liu Xi coming to report.

"Your Majesty, the Queen... uh, Madam and the officials from Shandong are about to arrive at the Wuzhanghe Wharf outside the city!"

"It's finally here!"

Han Zhen felt happy, stood up and said: "Let's go, come with me to welcome him!"

Without officials from Shandong, many restructurings would not be implemented.

After leaving the imperial city with his personal guards, Han Zhen went straight to the Wuzhang River Pier outside the city.

After waiting for a while, I saw large ships appearing in the distance on the river.

"Wow! Is this Bianjing? It's so majestic!"

On a treasure ship, Ma Shuyao stood on the deck, looking at the giant city appearing in the distance, her eyes filled with wonder.

Zhao Fujin smiled and said: "After all, there are more than 1.8 million people living here, so naturally it needs to be built bigger."

Han Zhang was speechless and said: "One and eight million people live in one city. What kind of scene is this?"

To her, Yidu County was already a huge city, extremely prosperous.

But the permanent population of Yidu County is only 200,000, which is less than one-ninth of Tokyo City.

"Sister will know after a while."

Zhao Fujin was in a very good mood, facing the breeze blowing across the river, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Husband!"

Suddenly, Jiang Suyi exclaimed.

"Where is it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Fujin asked quickly.

Ma Shuyao and others also looked over.

"There it is."

Jiang Suyi said in an excited tone.

Following the direction of her finger, the girls found a group of Xuanjia soldiers at the dock.

The leader is on a horse, tall and heroic.

Although they couldn't see his face clearly from a distance, their intuition told them that this was their husband.

"Husband!"

Zhao Fujin put his hands to his mouth like a trumpet and shouted with all his strength.

The girl's thoughts were revealed at this moment.

After all, they were too far away and it was against the wind, so how could they hear it.

While waiting anxiously, the treasure ship gradually sailed towards the dock.

After it came to a stop, Zhao Fujin held up his skirt and walked quickly off the boat.

Seeing the face that she thought about day and night, the little girl ran all the way and threw herself into Han Zhen's arms.

When Lao Jiu and other personal guards saw him, they immediately turned their heads.

"Husband!"

Sniffing the familiar scent on the tip of his nose, Zhao Fujin slightly raised his beautiful little face and called out affectionately.

Holding her slender waist, Han Zhen chuckled and said, "My husband misses you too."

"Well!"

These words immediately hit the little girl's heart, and a mist rose in her eyes.

"I've met my husband!"

At this time, the female voices of Mashuyao came from behind.

His eyes swept over the girls and finally landed on Xiao Heyue in Han Zhang's arms.

Compared with before the expedition, the little guy has grown up a lot. Under the tiger head hat, a pair of big eyes like black gems are particularly clear and bright.

It is said that daughters are more like their fathers, but Xiao Heyue has inherited most of Han Zhang's advantages.
