The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 79
As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the year is over, and all life will be on the right track. Things that were not done a year ago must be picked up and continued. Therefore, the first day of the opening of the dynasty has always been full of things.It's just that the morning court on this day was a little different. The eldest princess Yun Yuhong also appeared in the court hall, and she happened to stand beside Qianzong, which attracted the courtiers' attention. Even though she is now named the ghost king, the position of this station It's also too close to the emperor, usually only the prince can stand there.But Yun Yuhong acted like a normal person, allowing the courtiers to speculate secretly.

The first major event in the opening of the dynasty was to agree on how Liu Xiang's one-party rebellion would be punished. Bai Ziyu stepped forward to take out the case files and papers and hand them over to Emperor Qianzong.There are 56 people in Liu Xiang's party, five of them committed suicide in fear of crime, one was killed, and the rest have pleaded guilty.The punishment given by Bai Ziyu was: Liu Xiang, Jinghui Hou and his son beheaded for public display, and all other family members were exiled to the border to serve hard labor.For such a result, Zhou Dashi and others did not have much refutation. After all, Liu Xiang's party has been removed from office, and they have all left the court. Once Liu Xiang died, it would have no effect on them.It was a political and power contest between them and Liu Xiang, and they didn't have the intention of killing everyone.It's just that the Liu family is not limited to Liu Xiang's lineage. Many of the other Liu family members have been sent out to serve as officials, and many of them are not young. What should these people do?

Bai Ziyu said: "The Liu family had no intention of rebelling. They were very angry when they learned what Liu Xiang had done. They not only expelled Liu Xiang's lineage from the clan, but also wrote a letter to all people. The Liu family swore to be loyal to the emperor from generation to generation. Because of his loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, the eldest son of the Liu family has contributed a lot to this matter, so he remains in the Liu family and has nothing to do with Liu Xiang."

The other ministers were silent for a long time, is that okay?Who has committed the crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan, as long as the person in charge is expelled from the clan, is there such a good thing?This is clearly the way that the Liu family came up with because they couldn't afford to offend the Liu family, but as long as the Liu family takes this step back, they will lose not only a man who is under one person but above ten thousand people, but also the contacts accumulated in the past century. It will be difficult for the Liu family to achieve such glory again in a short period of time, but Bai Ziyu who can facilitate all this is not easy.

Only a few ministers raised doubts about such a result, but Bai Ziyu was well-prepared and well-founded, so it was settled quickly, and it didn't take too much time.

The second thing is about the army and Ouchi guards who judged the chaos.Yun Yuhong just talked about the result in a bland manner, and told the ministers, "This king has already settled everything. Of course, this kind of matter will not be dealt with until today. Otherwise, would you ministers dare to go out today?"

Hou Jingyuan said: "Although Wang Youdao has made great contributions in saving the family, isn't it a little too much for the emperor to be named the commander of the inner guards at once? Also, it would be too childish to entrust the full power of the guards of the capital to a boy who is not famous. gone."

Yun Yuhong looked at Jingyuan Hou for a while, then sighed and said: "Grandpa was angry because I beat my cousin and cousin yesterday. Alas, I can't help it. As soon as the capital stabilized, he beat people in the street and shouted I am the son of Marquis Jingyuan, how does this make the world think, the former Liu Sangong often called me the son of Liu Xiang. I was also worried that my cousins ​​were so unprofessional, so I acted harder. Grandpa, don’t blame me. "

Marquis Jingyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said seriously: "I'm talking about the palace and the guards in the capital, the eldest princess, don't talk too far away."

Yun Yuhong frowned: "Wang Youdao was demoted only because of some trivial matters. He was originally the commander of the inner guards. If there is anything he can't do, you said he was promoted too fast. There are some things I don't want to say. At that time, my cousin was the commander of the Ouchi guards. When the father was in danger, Lord Hou could see where he was. It was Wang Youdao who led people into the palace and fought all the way. After counting the knives, I still saved my father, may I ask the marquis, how many times my cousin was stabbed, I saw him yesterday still interested in beating people, but he didn't look like he was injured at all."

Marquis Jingyuan's face was a little uneasy, what Yun Yuhong said was the truth, and he was powerless to refute.But Yun Yuhong's repeated mention of his eldest grandson made him a little bit embarrassed. "What about the guarding of the capital?" Jing Yuanhou still didn't want to give up.

Yun Yuhong wondered: "Wu Xun, he is my man, I can rest assured that he guards the capital, at least, with him around, he will definitely live and die with the capital, and he will never hide when he has business to do like his cousin. It's nothing but a fight."

Marquis Jingyuan only felt that a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat. As long as he opened his mouth, Yun Yuhong would definitely mention the matter of his eldest grandson. It was clear that he wanted to blackmail him with his eldest grandson. As such, and once these rumors spread, his eldest grandson's life will be over.Therefore, Marquis Jingyuan retreated bitterly.

Yun Yuhong smiled and looked around at all the ministers, whoever comes to die again will definitely accompany me, all the ministers are silent, the civil servants are used to arguing with others by citing scriptures, but one will not reason with you at all What do you want to do with the people in the world? As for the general Jing Yuanhou, he is already an example. If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work.

The third issue is how to fill the vacancies left by the removed officials, especially the post of prime minister, which is very important, how many eyes are on it.Therefore, when this matter was brought up, the scene suddenly became lively. Everyone seemed to have endless things to say, especially the minister, you recommended me, I recommended your son, and so on, which made Yun Yuhong even more excited. It was an eye-opener, and two-thirds of the ministers recommended Master Zhou as their chancellor. They were fully supported and prepared, which made the voice of Master Zhou to be their prime minister reach the level that everyone expected. Yun Yuhong sighed again, saying that I am not Reasonable, that's because these reasonable people are too shameless, and all reason is taken away by them.

Of course, in terms of seniority, ability, prestige, etc., Master Zhou is indeed the best candidate, but unfortunately, Yun Yuhong still hopes that the weak and impoverished Moyun Kingdom can have a prime minister who truly cares for the people, and from this point of view Bachelor Zhou is obviously not suitable.

Yun Yuhong said to Qian Zong: "Father, there is no rush for the position of prime minister. My daughter can hold it first. It's not suitable for a bachelor this week. Someone came to report yesterday. During the martial law, he ran into a brothel , it's really indecent. People with such conduct are not suitable for a photo."

Everyone was shocked, and the way they looked at Master Zhou changed.The eldest princess is unreasonable, but she has always said one thing and said another when she speaks, and she has never lied.It's just that Mr. Zhou shouldn't be so confused this week, or does Mr. Zhou have any special hobbies?
Master Zhou's face turned red, but he looked at Yun Yuhong but was speechless for a while, which on the contrary confirmed everyone's guess.In fact, all the ministers were misled by Yun Yuhong, and Master Zhou was a typical sufferer who couldn't tell.It turned out that during the period of martial law, Master Zhou was unable to leave the house, so he thought of a trick to climb over the wall, because his house is relatively large and deep, and it looks like a square from the outside, but it is actually a slightly deformed hexagon.There was a retreat just touching the wall of a brothel.It was discovered by some children of the Zhou family before, and they climbed over the wall out of curiosity, only to find out that it was a private brothel.At that time, Master Zhou was ashamed of such neighbors, and specially sent people to build this wall so that it would be impossible to climb over.But during the period of martial law, Liu Xiang thought of this place. He could use this place to leave the mansion, and pretend to be a firewood delivery person to enter the ministers' mansion to discuss matters.Of course he bribed the people in the brothel in advance, but I don't know why the madam had the guts to report him after taking the money.If Master Zhou really had the guts to ask, Yun Yuhong would tell him directly that this brothel was run by Aunt Hong, which meant that she, Yun Yuhong, was the one who opened it.

Qian Zong coughed and said, "According to what Hong'er saw, Cheng Xiang you come and do it, and you can talk about it when you have a suitable person. Then how do you think other officials will arrange it?"

Yun Yuhong suggested: "Just listening to what they said, how good these people are, I think it might as well be a donkey with a horse out for a walk, call all the people mentioned just now, and deal with the affairs that the government has to deal with. Also find some, let them compete on the spot, who is good and who is not can be seen at a glance."

Qian Zong said happily: "This idea is good, time is urgent, and the examination cannot be held immediately, but a small competition recommended by the adults is very conducive to the selection of talents. Come here, and pass these people to the palace."

The ministers didn't expect Yun Yuhong to do such a trick, and some of them really started to panic, but it's too late to prepare anything now, and they can only hope that the person they recommended will be more uplifting.

The stone in Bai Ziyu's heart was put down, and he recommended these officials' deputies, some of them were his own people, and some were people of insight. Originally, the effect of others alone would not be very effective, but Yun Yuhong settled it with a few words, no matter what happened in the end. How many people will come up, at least, these people finally have a chance to compete fairly.

People passed on quickly, and there were less than 200 vacancies, and more than [-] people had to compete.Yun Yuhong and Qian Zong divided the people into several batches according to department and position, and then found a few tricky things for them to think about how to do, and wrote them down and handed them in, and then the eunuch read them out.In order to show fairness, all the answer sheets are not named, and only after the rankings are judged by the officials, is it allowed to say who made it.This method is not absolutely fair, but relatively speaking it is the best way.

Until the afternoon, all the talents were divided into high and low. Qianzong kept the outstanding people and assigned them to positions.To be honest, most of them are promoted assistants. After all, they have been exposed to understand the key points and know how to do it properly.Few of the people arranged by Zhou Dashi and Yu Shangshu entered, which made them very depressed.They felt that Liu Xiang had fallen, but they ushered in a stronger opponent. This person did not have the strong background of Liu Xiang, but he was unpredictable and more difficult to deal with than Liu Xiang.At this time, the two of them missed Liu Xiang by coincidence.
