Chapter 426 0422 [The king entrusts the ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty]

Dali Temple is equivalent to the highest court in the country.

In the early Song Dynasty, the old system of the Tang Dynasty was changed, and there was no prison in Dali Temple.

During the Yuanfeng period, the structure was restructured and the Dali Temple Prison was restored, with one minister, two Shaoqing, two Zheng, and four Tuicheng.

Generally speaking, the prisoners who can be imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison are either guilty of serious crimes, such as rebellion, or they are officials and relatives of the emperor.

"Hoohoo!"

From a cell, there was the sound of dull breathing.

A prisoner was boxing with great force and force.

Zhang Shuye sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a copy of Qingzhou Daily.

Although he is a prisoner, his treatment is not bad.

The officials of Dali Temple also knew that they wanted to persuade them to surrender.

I'm sure that after a while, he will become a minister of the DPRK, or even his own superior.

As if the sound of boxing practice disturbed him, Zhang Shuye said helplessly: "Pengcheng, you have just recovered from your injury, so don't bother yourself."

Xing Wanli stopped his movements and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I'm almost going moldy. If I don't clear my muscles and bones, I'm afraid I'll go crazy."

Zhang Shuye said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer, we will go out soon."

"really?"

Xing Wanli felt happy.

Zhang Shuye dusted off the Qingzhou Daily in his hand: "Yesterday, Qi State held a coronation ceremony. As usual, a general amnesty will be held to win over the people."

At this moment, Fu Sun's voice came from the cell next door: "Brother Ji Zhong, how true do you think the story about passing on the national jade seal is?"

Zhang Shuye pondered: "Although the Emperor of Qi came from a rough background, his character was very arrogant and he disdained to use these ghostland tricks. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to pull out the descendants of the Chai family? So I think the jade seal passed down to the country should be real."

Sun Fu murmured to himself: "Is he really the true Lord Erlang who descended to earth and was destined to return?"

It only took three years from being a sage to becoming emperor in Jianyuan.

Its momentum is so rapid that it is simply shocking.

Although Liu Xiu also proclaimed himself emperor three years ago, he was a member of the Han Dynasty, the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, his biological father and uncle were county magistrates, and his maternal grandfather was the richest man in the area. Regardless of his political resources or personal connections, he was not an ordinary citizen like Han Zhen. Comparable.

What is an ordinary person?

The family wants money but has no money, needs people but has no one, and only has a few acres of broken land.

How could such a person become emperor in just two or three years?

Even Fang La and Zhong Xiangna were landlords and wealthy businessmen, and their families had money and food.

Now at the enthronement ceremony, the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty presented the national jade seal. This made Sun Fu, who had always stayed away from the theory of ghosts and gods, start to waver.

"Brother Boye, you are so powerful and chaotic!"

Zhang Shuye reminded.

Da Da Da~

The sound of footsteps slowly reached the ears of several people.

The pace is steady and has a charm, which is obviously the official pace.

Zhang Shuye and Sun Fu looked stern, knowing that the visitor had a high status.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and not long after, a black official uniform appeared in the sight of Sun Fu and others.

Xie Ding cupped his hands and said with a chuckle: "Brother Boye, brother Ji Zhong, you are well."

Sun Fu bowed his hand in return, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Brother Shouqi is now in the cabinet and becomes the prime minister, ruling the world, and his glory is endless."

Xie Ding was not annoyed, and just replied: "The king entrusts his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty. Brother Boye can do it, why can't I do it?"

This sentence alone left Sun Fu speechless.

This statement comes from "The Analects of Confucius. Eight Yi" and expounds Confucius's views on the relationship between monarch and ministers.

As a king, you should avoid slander and disgrace, despise profits but value virtue, so you should respect the virtuous; praise their abilities, value their salaries, and share their likes and dislikes, so they should be close to each other; officials should be appointed envoys, so they should respect their ministers; be loyal and trustworthy Paying great attention to salary is why I encourage scholars.

If the monarch can do these things, then the ministers should die loyally to repay the monarch's kindness.

If the monarch is ignorant and ignorant, and treats his ministers and the people as trivial things, he should regard the monarch as his enemy.

The translation means that if the monarch is wise, he should be loyal to him even to the death.

If the monarch is stupid and immoral, then overthrow him and replace him with a wise monarch, otherwise he will be foolish, loyal and corrupt.

In fact, this is what Sun Fu and the others did, forcing Song Huizong to abdicate and change to another emperor.

Xie Ding did the same thing, that's why he said this.

Zhang Shuye helped to relieve the siege and said: "Brother Shouqi came here this time, why?"

Xie Ding replied: "The official ascended the throne yesterday and ordered a general amnesty for the world, pardoning and releasing everyone."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Shuye cupped his hands and thanked him.

Although Xie Ding didn't say anything clearly, Zhang Shuye was sure that the other party must have helped.

Xie Ding chuckled and said, "Brother Ji Zhong, you're welcome. I've hosted a banquet in Fanlou to welcome you all."

Upon hearing this, the jailer behind him immediately stepped forward and opened the cell door.

After leaving the Dali Temple Prison, the dazzling sunshine made several people squint their eyes.

After getting on the carriage, the group went straight to Fan Tower.

In the private room, Wu Min was already waiting there drinking alone.

Seeing this, Sun Fu smiled and scolded: "Well, Wu Yuanzhong, I've been waiting for the reception banquet, but you drank it first."

"Hurry and sit down."

Wu Min asked them to sit down and explained at the same time: "Wen Zhen is now the governor of Kaifeng. He is busy with official duties and cannot get away for the time being."

"It's out of the way."

Sun Fu waved his hand.

The group sat down and drank for three rounds.

Xie Ding slowly said: "Ji Zhong and Brother Boye have great talents. It is better to stay in Qi and serve as officials to benefit the people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere couldn't help but stagnate.

Zhang Shuye and Sun Fu were silent, seeming to be thinking.

Xing Wanli, on the other hand, was sitting in the corner eating happily. Seeing this scene, Xie Ding winked at Wu Min.

Wu Min mused: "You must have known through the Di newspaper that Cai Jing and Tong Guan were resurrected. Although the Emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasty retreated to Yun Wangkai and retreated behind the scenes, he still secretly controlled the court. Even if he could win the power, With the character of King Yun Kai, I am afraid that he will be the next Supreme Emperor."

"Today's officials are wise, caring about the people, and have great ambitions. We should show our ambitions and create peace for all generations. In this way, we can live up to our hard work for decades."

These words hit the nail on the head.

Although Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south are still there, the Supreme Emperor still controls the court. The key is that the current emperor is Wang Kai.

How could they not know Zhao Kai's virtues?

Just like a trumpet Zhao Ji, even if he helps Zhao Kai gain power, what's the use?

After being silent for a long time, Sun Fu slowly said: "What happened to Bo Ji's funeral?"

Xie Ding replied: "The officials collected the bones for him and asked Brother Bo Ji's family to send them back to his hometown in Wuxi for burial."

Sun Fu nodded and stopped talking.

Xie Ding and Wu Min were overjoyed, knowing that the matter was half done, so they looked at Zhang Shuye and asked, "Brother Ji Zhong, what worries do you have?"

Zhang Shuye said worriedly: "Today's officials are too domineering, but they don't know that rigidity is easy to break, and tight strings are easy to break."

Wu Min said sternly: "That's why you need me even more to advise you all the time."

Xie Ding, who was on the side, also helped: "In troubled times, you should act domineering. When the world is stable and the four seas are unified, it will not be too late to follow the kingly path of spring breeze and rain."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye sighed: "That's all. If I refuse any more, it will seem like I'm being hypocritical."

Xie Ding and Wu Min looked at each other and smiled.

Become!

……

……

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

Han Zhen was enjoying an ice drink, and Zhao Fujin stood behind him, with a pair of white and tender hands constantly squeezing his shoulders.

"Husband, sister Fujin was also resting in Ruizhu Hall yesterday?"

Han Zhen's hand holding the spoon froze, and then he joked: "You were very drunk at that time, and you hugged Emperor Maode and didn't let go. By the time you fell asleep completely, the palace door had long been closed, so you had to make do in the side room. late."

Han Zhen didn't care about Zhao Fujin's affairs. His always been to accept it as soon as it was done.

But the problem is that Zhao Fujin himself is unwilling, maybe because he feels guilty for his sister. After arriving in the side room last night, he has been begging Han Zhen not to make their relationship public to the public, and even took the initiative to say that he will come to the palace more often.

Zhao Fujin said coquettishly: "I drank too much last night and I was in a daze."

"hehe."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, and couldn't help but recall Zhao Fujin's hydration.

The little girl continued: "Husband, we haven't visited the market together for a long time. I heard from Youyou that the Wa Market in Nancheng is particularly lively tonight."

"it is good."

Han Zhen nodded.

It is still necessary to enhance the relationship between husband and wife.

At this moment, Liu Chang stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Dean Yuan wants to see you!"

Craftsman Yuan is back!

Han Zhen hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up!"

"Husband, please be busy first, while I take my leave first."

Seeing that he was busy with government affairs, Zhao Fujin left wisely.

Not long after, Craftsman Yuan hurriedly walked into the hall and bowed in greeting: "I have met your Majesty."

Seeing him sweating profusely, Han Zhen ordered: "Sit down and serve tea!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Craftsman Yuan was flattered.

After Craftsman Yuan sat down, Han Zhen asked, "When did you come back?"

"Wei Chen has just returned to Beijing."

"How is the military factory?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the military factory will be completed in another two months."

Craftsman Yuan stood up as he spoke, took out a map from his sleeve pocket, unfolded it on the hall table, and explained: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the gunpowder workshop, located in the hinterland of the Military Industry Institute, and facing the river to the east is the Ordnance Research Institute. At the north and south foot of the mountain are the craftsmen’s residences, and to the west are the military barracks and guardhouses where soldiers are stationed.”

Originally, Han Zhen planned to place the military ordnance institute near Kaifeng Mansion, but Craftsman Yuan led a group of master craftsmen around and found no suitable place.

Finally, after discussion, it was decided to place it in the Taishan Mountains.

The natural environment is secluded, and Shandong is Han Zhen's base camp, so it is more secure to place it in the Taishan Mountains.

As for the traffic and transportation issues, it's okay. After all, the Military Industry Institute is an ordnance research and development center, not a place for ordnance manufacturing. It is only responsible for gunpowder production and ordnance research and development.

Ordnance manufacturing, Qingzhou and other ordnance workshops are responsible for production.

Han Zhen established a bounty system for the Ordnance Institute and strongly encouraged craftsmen to innovate. Don't be afraid of wasting materials. If you have inspiration and good ideas, you can immediately put them into experiments.

Whether it is gunpowder, artillery, oil, or other ordnance, as long as a breakthrough is made, there will be generous rewards and even a wife and son.

This bounty does not go to the state treasury, but is paid out of internal funds.

In this way, the research and development enthusiasm of the craftsmen of the military industry institute can be increased.

When the engineering college is completed in the future, it will be able to continuously supply talents to the military industry.

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "After it is completed, I will personally inspect it."

"Your Majesty, I came back this time to visit my family and to request funding. The main reason is that the Taishan Mountains are steep and it will cost a lot to dig roads. Here are the project accounts. Please take a look at them."

Craftsman Yuan said, taking out another fold and presenting it.

After taking it, Han Zhen just glanced at it casually and asked, "How much is left?"

Craftsman Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "One million more strings will be almost enough."

Hearing this, Han Zhen waved his hand, picked up a pen and wrote down a handwriting, handed it over and said: "I will give you 1.5 million yuan, go to Taifu Temple to get the money."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving the handwriting, Craftsman Yuan left with a smile on his face.
