Country color

Chapter 536
At the end of the year, the weather is cold, and the Wuding River next to Youjing (the ancient name of the Yongding River in Beijing today) has long been frozen.

It was near the end of the year, and the affairs of the Ministry of Education also increased in different ways.

Since Da Zhao abolished Menxia Province and weakened Shangshu Province, Menxia Province has become the veritable number one department of Da Zhao.

Now Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo, Zhongshu's servant Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu are working together, and the new Zhongshu Sheren Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun and others are collecting various memorials, summarizing them, and arranging them one by one according to the date .

Both Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun's calligraphy is excellent, and even Wen Yanbo, the secretary of Zhongshu, admired them a lot, so many edicts, official documents, books, forms, and instructions were entrusted to them to handle.

Ouyang Xun wrote the case for a long time, then suddenly put down his pen, picked up a document and went to Wen Yanbo who was drinking tea in the southeast corner of the room, and said in the preface: "Wen Zaifu, I have something unclear, I beg Zaifu to see you. "

Wen Yanbo put down his teacup, said with a smile: "Brother Yu has been in office for a long time, if you don't know anything, it must be a big deal, please tell me."

Yu Shinan lowered his head and said: "It's like this. When I went over the old officials, I saw that the reign title of this dynasty is still serving the great cause. It's not right."

Zhongshu Province's office room is not big, only more than 20 officials. Hearing what Yu Shinan said, everyone present stopped what they were doing and listened to the conversation between Wen Yanbo and Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan said: "There is a saying in the Book of Rites, correcting the Shuo, changing the color of clothes, different emblems, different equipment, and different clothes. These are the ones who make changes with the people. Correcting the Shuo is the most important thing."

"Now the Son of Heaven has been murdered by the traitor Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu. It has been almost three years, but Zhao Guo still continues to use the year name of Daye. Now it is the end of the year, and it is less than ten days away from the beginning of the new year. According to previous examples, when The general book was issued to all ministries, so it is true that the new general book still uses the Daye year name."

The people present were nothing but experienced people. As a person who had been in the officialdom for many years, he still couldn't understand the meaning behind Yu Shinan.

A few people cursed secretly, thinking that this person is looking for opportunities, he is really a villain.

Wen Yanbo was still sitting very calmly, and seemed not at all sensitive to the meaning behind Yu Shinan's words, he just said calmly: "Brother Yu meant to persuade the king to correct Shuo?"

"That's right." Before Yu Shinan could speak, Ouyang Xun rushed to answer.

Yu Shinan glared angrily, and thought to himself, why are you robbing me of my words? All the other officials in Zhongshu Province laughed secretly, and thought to themselves, these two surrendered ministers of the state of Xu really matched each other very well, why don't you go with such a good kung fu? Sing a tune.

Everyone didn't know that Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun hadn't negotiated, but it was Ouyang Xun's act of stealing the show alone.

Ouyang Xun said immediately: "My subordinates have discussed with Yu Sheren many times long ago. After the emperor Yan drove Jiangdu, the Emperor Taizhu proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangdu and named him Huangtai. Li Tang also stood on his own in Guanzhong and named him Emperor. For Wude, after that, all the counties in the world who fell to Tang Dynasty changed their year name to Wude, and those who fell to Luoyang used the year name Huangtai, just like our Youjing, we still use the year name of Daye."

"But as Brother Yu said, the Emperor died three years ago, and the Sui Dynasty had long since collapsed. It would be inappropriate to use the title of Daye. Otherwise, the people would not know who to follow."

Wen Yanbo listened to Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun's words, smiled slightly, and said: "I understand what you two mean, but I have actually talked to King Zhao about what you said."

Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun heard what Wen Yanbo said, and his heart suddenly turned cold, he thought, goodbye, Wen Zaifu is already the head of the civil servants, why are you fighting with us for the merit of persuading him.

Wen Yanbo said: "At that time, the king told me to correct Zhengshuo and change his color, which was the result of the king changing his surname, but the king was determined to save the people in the world from being in danger, and save all the people from suffering, so there is no way to become emperor. Meaning. At that time, the old man tried to persuade him, saying that Ziwei lost his position, and the world is full of heroes, and the virtuous live in it. The king is loyal and loves the virtuous, and there is no violence to the people, and no adultery and murder. Why can’t you be called the emperor.”

"The king refused again, and his intentions were very firm, and the old man couldn't help it."

Yu Shinan said: "Duke Zhou used to say three times and give up three times. What's more, today, the king is unwilling. We are willing to join forces with Wen Zaifu to persuade the king to proclaim himself emperor, correct Shuo, and change color."

Yu Shinan sonorously replaced the word "joint name" emphatically, and Wen Yanbo immediately twitched his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Ouyang Xun also said: "When Wen Zaifu persuaded, Liu Heita, Yu Wenhua and Weiping, but today the two thieves have given the leadership, our country of Zhao has completely occupied the land of Hebei, and it is time to proclaim the emperor. We wait I would like to persuade Wen Zaifu to enter with the tail wing."

After Ouyang Xun, more than 20 officials of Zhongshu Province also said in unison: "I am willing to follow Wen Zaifu's tail to persuade him to enter."

Wen Yanbo's smile stretched out, his frown spread out, and he said: "Okay! This matter is in line with Tian's heart and the people's will. I will implore King Zhao to proclaim himself emperor for Tian's heart and the people's will!"

Here Wen Yanbo is asking people to draft a draft.

Yu Shinan said: "Let me do the writing!"

Wen Yanbo was about to agree, when Ouyang inquired: "Brother Yu, because this manuscript uses regular script, you might as well write it better than me when it comes to regular script, why don't you let your brother do it!"

Yu Shinan grabbed the pen and said, "How can I write smoothly, not to mention my regular script is no worse than yours."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and a large group of people from Zhongshu Sheng want to persuade Li Chongjiu to proclaim the emperor, but through some channels, it is spread out.

Officials of the Shangshu Province who were on duty also knew that among the eight most powerful officials in the Shangshu Province that day, except for the left servant of the Shangshu and Chen Xiaoyi, the rest of the Shangshu Youpushe Wang Gui and the other six ministers were there.

There is nothing to do at the end of the year. They are waiting for the official document from the Ministry of Education, and finally make a delivery. After the new year, the government can close the door, seal it, and repair it at home.

Qi Zuo was chatting, and Pei Ju and other veterans were also drinking tea, but then came the news that Zhongshu Sheng closed the door to write a memorial, and wanted to collectively persuade Li Chongjiu to join.

As soon as the news came out, these bigwigs in the officialdom of the Zhao State all scolded their mothers in their stomachs, thinking that such a big matter, if they had to discuss it with their ministers, they would have to do it alone.

Zhao Heran, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, almost knocked over the tea bowl on the case with a bang, and said seven times in a row, which is unreasonable, unreasonable.

Gao Xudao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites spread his hands, and shot Wang Yu at the right servant of the highest official of the Shangshu Province, saying: "Wang Zaifu, the people of the Zhongshu Province are not kind!"

"Exactly, exactly."

Dozens of officials from the Shangshu Province were called together.

Gao Xudao glanced at the officials and officials, and seeing so many people supporting him, he immediately aroused the emotion of acting on behalf of Shangshusheng in his heart, and said impassionedly: "All good things are taken by people like Zhongshusheng. Those people are just talking about it, and the officials in our Shangshu Province are all so busy that they will break their legs."

"At present, there is such a big matter of persuading people to enter, and they don't even discuss it with us. After the king proclaims himself emperor, he sees that only the officials of Zhongshu Province have the role of persuading him, but not our Shangshu province. What will happen to the king? Think about it, if we think that our Shangshu Province does not support the king's proclaiming emperor, how embarrassing it is for us."

As soon as Gao Xudao's words came out, Shangshu Province was in a state of chaos, and a group of officials said: "We can't be content with later, we have to persuade to advance."

Wang Gui glanced around, but laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart. It has only been two years since the Wang family in Taiyuan supported Li Chongjiu, but he did not expect that today will be the day when it will bear fruit.

King Qi and Princess Qi have already given birth to a son, and there is also news from the Wang family of Taiyuan that many uncles and uncles in the clan have also begun to be optimistic about Zhao after Li Chongjiu ruled Hebei. It also started to be ambiguous.

Right now, the clan is waiting to see whether Yang Ehuang will give birth to a boy or a girl. If the boy will be the crown prince in the future, no matter how much the Wang family can muster their energy, they will be married like this.

In Youjing City, hundreds of officials from the two provinces of Zhongshu Shangshu are planning to persuade them to enter.

Here in Youjing, the female relatives of the officials above the fifth rank official came to the vicinity of the governor's mansion in Youjing.

The queen of the state of Zhao was about to give birth, and the people of the state of Zhao paid unprecedented attention to the birth of such a baby.This is not only related to the Li family, but also a major event related to the entire Zhao country. In any case, it is Li Chongjiu's son or daughter. It is said that once a baby boy is born, he will become the prince's son after his first birthday.

Now the king's son of King Zhao will be the crown prince of Zhao in the future, the king of a country.

When the women in Youjing heard the news, why didn't they come to run around instead of the men in the family, to show their concern for the queen, condolences, and present gifts.

Now not to mention the female family members of the officials, even Liucheng, the most prosperous place in Zhao's Buddhism, also has eminent monks going to Youjing to pray for the queen of Zhao and the prince's son, and chant scriptures.

Yang Ehuang was raising a baby, and Li Chongjiu accompanied him every step of the way. Empress Xiao came forward to meet the officials of Youjing and the female relatives of the gentry one by one.

The whole of Youjing was bustling with people, but Shi Deyun and Li Ying's mother and son were a bit forgettable.

After Li Chongjiu returned to Youjing, Shi Deyun, whom he hadn't seen a few times, was mostly with Yang Ehuang, and even when he came to see Shi Deyun, he also met Li Ying.

Shi Deyun understood with female intuition that although Li Chongjiu loved Li Ying, when Li Ying was born, the elders of Shi Dexi's department used Li Ying's matter to jointly ask Li Chongjiu to make Deyun the queen. Extremely unhappy.

In addition to years of fighting, Li Chongjiu did not fulfill much of his father's responsibilities to his eldest son.

Shi Deyun understands this, but she doesn't want to complain to anyone, neither Li Chongjiu nor Yang Ehuang, the women on the grassland, all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys are on their faces, unhappy things, after a while, are like grassland Like a gust of wind, it blows away and disperses.

Outside the house of Shi Deyun's mother and son, there was a continuous stream of guests in the lobby of the governor's mansion, while on the other side her husband stood guard in front of another woman.

Shi Deyun couldn't help being depressed. At this time, Li Ying was three or four years old. Seeing Shi Deyun like this, he couldn't help asking: "Mum, Eminem, why are you unhappy?"

Seeing her son being so close to herself, Shi Deyun couldn't help smiling, and held Li Ying tightly in her arms.

"Em is not unhappy, Em believes that your father will be busy now, and he will remember our mother and son again."
