Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 164 Zhao Yu: Hold it down for now, don’t lose my face in front of the Jin envoy!

Du Yunshan walked out of the imperial city, looked back at the towering buildings behind him, and let out a heavy breath.

He touched the stack of papers hidden inside through his sleeve, and the surprise in his eyes reappeared.

In the palace, in front of the emperor, he concealed his surprise very well, but when he left the imperial city, he was still shocked when he recalled what he had roughly read on the paper.

Even ordinary Mohist disciples would not have thought of the above contents, but this young emperor not only thought of it, but also made a further conjecture, and even this conjecture has a high possibility of being realized!
Thinking of this, as the most outstanding disciple of Chu Mo's generation, Du Yunshan couldn't wait to return to his residence to verify it.

"Senior Brother Du, have you seen the Emperor of Chu?"

"Elder brother, didn't the little emperor make things difficult for you?"

When he returned to his residence, several Mohist disciples saw him coming back and quickly gathered around him and began to ask about the history of the palace.

This time, Kan Leng escorted the delegation to Shenjing City. In addition to Du Yunshan, a direct disciple of Chu Mo Juzi, there were also more than a dozen talented Mohist disciples who came with him. , gave lectures in the city, recruited disciples, and spread Mohist doctrine.

"Your senior brother and I are even a disciple of the Mohist family, but I have no fame and no distinction from ordinary people. The other party is the master of a country, how could he lower himself to find trouble with me?"

Du Yunshan explained with a smile, then straightened his face and asked:

"Seeing that you are so idle, could it be that you have finished your homework for today? You know, if the young don't work hard, the old will be miserable. If you can't even compare to ordinary people when it comes to talking about Mohist classics, then how can you have the dignity to call yourself a Mohist disciple? "

A Mohist disciple heard this and said with a smile: "Elder brother is joking. Although we don't have a thorough grasp of the Mohist classics like our elder brother, we have followed Master Tian for several years and we have gained a little bit. How can we be compared to ordinary people?" but?"

Several people around him nodded their heads, their approval clearly evident.

"Don't be arrogant after just learning. You must know that there are mountains outside the mountains and buildings outside the buildings!" Du Yunshan said, taking out a stack of papers from his sleeves and handing them to them, "Take a look first, can you understand? "

Several people took it doubtfully and looked at it carefully under Du Yunshan's gaze.

Soon, waves of exclamations sounded in this small courtyard.

"When a scene arrives at noon, there is an end, and the scene is long. It is said to be at the end. I have read this sentence in Mohist classics, but I never thought it could be applied in this way!"

"The other party called it 'small hole imaging' which is quite appropriate."

"Also, when I was a kid, I used to grind ice cubes into mirror shapes to make fire. But combining this phenomenon with 'small hole imaging' is really incredible!"

"Can two convex lenses stacked together really be able to see the distant scene clearly?"

"Try it and you'll know!"

These Mohist disciples kept talking about each other.

Suddenly, someone raised his head and asked Du Yunshan: "Senior Brother Du, could it be that after you entered the palace and met my senior of the Mo family, you got such an exquisite design?"

Du Yunshan shook his head and laughed, pointing at the paper in their hands.

"Look, whose name is marked on the last page?"

Everyone hurriedly found the last drawing and looked at the bottom.

I saw a bright red seal printed on the lower right corner of the paper, with the four characters "Treasure of Yanfeng" written on it.

Yanfeng is the title of the Emperor of Chu after he ascended the throne; Bao is the royal name for the seal.

Except for the young emperor, there is no one else who can use the era name of a country as the content of the seal.

"Is this the handwriting of the Emperor of Chu?"

Realizing this, these Mohist disciples who followed Du Yunshan to Shenjing looked at Du Yunshan in surprise.

"That's right," Du Yunshan nodded and said, "This 'Thousand Mile Mirror' design was drawn by His Majesty himself. It was also the first task His Majesty gave me, Chu Mo."

"But Senior Brother, it is extremely simple to make this thing."

A Mohist disciple couldn't help but said:
"You only need to find two pieces of crystal that meet the requirements of polishing, and then find two bamboo tubes and put them together, and you can complete it quickly. Why did Your Majesty leave such a simple job to us, Chu Mo?"

"A finely crafted telescope can be made by finding a few skilled craftsmen and not caring about the length of time. But what Your Majesty wants is a telescope that can be mass-produced, has stable performance, and preferably can indicate distances. You guys. Tell me, besides me, the Mo family, who else can do this?"

Du Yunshan's tone was full of pride.

When it comes to the attainments in making instruments, the other schools combined are not enough to achieve what the Mohists can do with one hand.

Everyone knows the sophistication of Mohist instruments.

"Everyone has seen that your Majesty is very concerned about our Mohist family." Du Yunshan looked at the Mohist disciples in front of him and said with excitement: "And this thing is the test that your Majesty has given me as a Mohist family. As long as I can complete it, then my Mohist family will Then we can gain His Majesty's trust, and the Mohist theory can spread in the Chu Kingdom. My fellow juniors, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for our Mohist family, and you must not miss it! Let's all work together to complete it as soon as possible and report it to Your Majesty!"

There was another consideration in his mind.

Before he left the palace, His Majesty said that in a few days, there would be changes in the court of Chu State. After that, he, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, would take office.

Although His Majesty said he was not in a hurry, he must not be in a hurry. Instead, he should complete the tasks entrusted by His Majesty as soon as possible.

He must produce the results as soon as possible for His Majesty to see!

At this moment, Du Yunshan was very clear in his heart.

He must make results quickly, preferably as quickly as possible.

Although the young emperor did not set a deadline for him, nor did he ask him to do anything, he even told himself not to be anxious and to take his time.

But Du Yunshan also knew that the patience of these people in high positions was extremely limited.

What's more, as the head of a country, His Majesty has to deal with many things every day. He will only pay attention to such small things as "thousand-mile mirror" for a while, but after a long time, he will put them in the back of his mind.

Therefore, in order for His Majesty to remember this matter, remember himself, and remember the Mohist family, he must produce results as soon as possible.

It’s best before you take office!
Just when Du Yunshan was confidently preparing to complete the task assigned to him by Zhao Yu as soon as possible, Zhao Yu, who he had been talking about in his heart, was not in a good mood at this time, and could even be said to be very bad.

"There is one right minister, three ministers and seven principals in the Ministry of War, three generals in the Beijing camp, two ministers and four principals in the Ministry of Household Affairs... Just these officials of the fifth rank and above are involved in this case. There are a full 20 people!" Zhao Yu shook off the list in his hand and laughed angrily, "So, I would also like to thank Colonel Chunyu. If it weren't for him, how could I have found so many Shuoshu? !”

In the Zihuan Palace, looking at the furious Zhao Yu, Di Renjie, He Boyun and other officials in charge of the editorial office and the criminal department all bowed and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

"How do you ask me to calm down my anger!"

Zhao Yu slapped the imperial case with his palm and cursed with an angry look on his face:

"It's really embarrassing for me. This time, most of the military department was actually involved! Tell me, how can I appease my anger? After I dealt with Huang Jingming, for the sake of the face of all my ministers and workers, I let the remaining party members go. Well, I just hope that they can change their ways and serve the court well, but the result? It has not been half a year, and they have done this to me, and they have regarded all my good intentions as donkey liver and lungs! If I had known this, I would have done it at that time We should all kill these rats! Calm down your anger? Okay! Come on, Huaiying, tell me, how should I calm down my anger?" Di Renjie, who was named, shrank his neck in fright and did not dare to say a word.

It's not his fault. When Huang Jingming was eradicated by Your Majesty, I, Di Huaiying, had not yet entered the court as an official. You shouldn't ask me this...

The rest of the people were watching, no one dared to interrupt at this time.

I didn’t see that His Majesty was angry. What’s the difference between speaking at this time and seeking death?
After scolding him for a while, Zhao Yu felt a little relieved. He sat down and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Zhang Qing, your Dali Temple is handling this case together with the Editorial Office, the Criminal Ministry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. We will arrest those who deserve to be arrested and kill those who deserve to be killed. You have to see who dares to stretch out their claws after this time." !”

Hearing Zhao Yu's murderous words, Dali Temple Qing Zhang Chao couldn't help but feel his heart shrink, and he quickly agreed, and then asked cautiously:
"I only receive orders from Your Majesty. In this case, there will be no one in charge of the Ministry of War."

After Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and knocked on the table in frustration.

you do not say.

Since Zhang Liuqi, the original Minister of War, was dismissed from his post and investigated, he has not re-appointed the person in charge of the Ministry of War. The affairs of the Ministry of War have been temporarily taken care of by Lu Yian, the left minister, and Chen Yan, the right minister, assists.

Now Lu Yian is still with General Guan Haocang and has not returned to Beijing. As the case becomes clear, Chen Yan, the right servant, has become the highest-ranking official involved in Chun Yuqing's case and has been imprisoned. This military department is not empty. Shelled?

"I have issued an edict to let Lu Shilang return to the capital first. As for the affairs of the Ministry of War in the past few days before Lu Shilang returns, let Jia Xu take care of them for the time being."

Zhao Yu thought for a long time and finally made this decision.

The scope of responsibilities of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War already overlapped. After Wang Pu was forced to recuperate by Zhao Yu, Jia Xu temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Privy Council and did a good job.

This sheep is also being herded, and a group of sheep is being driven. They don't bother the two masters, and let Jia Wen and Shun Dao take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Anyway, with the wisdom and methods of this smiling tiger, he should be able to properly handle all the affairs of these two departments.

This Jia Fox is really favored by His Majesty!

After hearing Zhao Yu's arrangement, Li Ru, a good friend of Jia Xu, sighed in his heart.

Han Fanghai, the Minister of Punishment, thought more.

He encouraged himself in his heart and said:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, will dealing with so many officials at once affect the running of the government?"

"Don't worry, Han Qing." Zhao Yu snorted coldly, "In this world, it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged people who want to be officials! These bastards don't want to do a good job, but some people want to do a good job! Don't worry, Qing Han, I will issue an edict in the near future and recruit talents from various prefectures to supplement it."

"Your Majesty said this, and I will feel at ease."

Han Fanghai said as he returned to the queue.

Zhao Yu glanced at everyone and said a little impatiently:

"Young ministers, if you have anything else to say, if you don't say anything, the case will be settled."

Facing Zhao Yu's gaze, Li Ru took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more question."

"speak!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Li Ru, and there was no emotion or anger in his tone.

Li Ru said: "Your Majesty, the Jin envoy is still in the city of Shenjing. If he starts a big war, will the other party know about it and look down on our government? If this is true, then when the two sides negotiate in the near future, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to exert pressure. . In my humble opinion, it is better to imprison all those involved in the case first, and then deal with it after the negotiations with the Jin State are completed and the Jin envoys leave."

Zhao Yu asked outside the palace: "Gao Lishi, when will the Jin envoy go to court?"

Gao Lishi's voice came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Jin envoy Feng Datong will come to the palace to see you during the meeting between Japan and Korea later."

Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, then nodded and said: "Forget it, just follow what Wen You said. Let's suppress the case for the time being, so as not to lose my majesty in front of the Jin envoys. However, you all have to keep an eye on me in the imperial prison. If Someone died in it, or was robbed by gangsters, but I am the only one asking you!"

Everyone quickly raised their hands and said in unison: "My ministers, please obey your Majesty's orders!"

…………

It was sunny on June [-], the first year of Yanfeng.

time.

Jin envoy Feng Datong was already waiting with his deputy in a small hall outside the Taiji Hall in the imperial city.

Inside and outside the palace, even only three meters away from them, stood respectful but fully guarded imperial guards.

This made Feng Datong and his friends laugh inwardly.

The kings and ministers of the Chu State can only be arrogant when facing weak and small countries like Burma and Qi. They have to be cautious and cautious when facing powerful countries in the Central Plains like Jin Dynasty.

Didn't you see that even when they went to the toilet, the Chu State wished they could send a forbidden army to keep an eye on them?
Speaking of which, the Chu State's defense against them was indeed very strict.

After getting off the ship, the Chu general named Kan took them all the way south, and only stayed at inns along the way.

He proposed to go to the city to see the customs and customs of Da Chu, but the old man laughed and ignored them.

When he thought of this, Feng Datong felt a little blocked in his heart.

He even felt that sending that guy to escort them was the Chu State's intention!
While Feng Datong was thinking wildly, time passed slowly.

The two waited for almost half an hour before Feng Datong received a notice from the chamberlain: The emperor had finished handling the affairs of the day and invited the Jin envoy to come to the palace to meet him.

So, the two people came out of the side hall, led by a little Huangmen, and "escorted" by dozens of guards to the front of the Taiji Hall.

The ministers of the Jin State were quite familiar with the Tai Chi Hall.

Since the Taizu of Chu made Shenjing the capital, successive Chu emperors have held court meetings in this hall, and almost all Jin envoys have met with the Chu emperor here.

Joining together vertically and horizontally, negotiating peace and going to war, all happened in these two hundred years or so.

Standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Feng Datong glanced at the nervous deputy envoy, and the old god adjusted his clothes.

Today, let me show the young emperor of Chu the snow and wind in the north!
