Chapter 14: The First New Army (2) ()

When Yang Xi heard that His Majesty summoned him late at night, he hurried to the palace with the envoy. Liu Chan was frustrated with the "Ji Han Fu Minister Praise". After reading it several times, he finally found that everyone inside was dead. It seemed that he could only wait for Yang Xi to come and ask.

Soon Yang Xi arrived and saw Yang Xi Liu Chan was intimate. If it weren't for this old plan, his life and death would be uncertain. Yang Xi couldn't help but be flattered. Chen Qi was not treated like this during the day. It seems that His Majesty must have something important to do.

After shutting down everyone, Liu Chan personally filled a glass of wine and handed it to Yang Xi and said, "I have made great contributions to today's writing. Is there any blame for the discussion in the palace today?" Yang Xi quickly stood up, but Liu Chan pressed his hand on his shoulder, and the wine cup was handed into his hand. Yang Xi saw that His Majesty was very affectionate and drank the wine. Liu Chan laughed when he saw this and turned around and sat back on the dragon throne.

At this time, Yang Xi walked into the middle a few steps and knelt down. Liu Chan did not sit firmly on his butt. Seeing Yang Xi like this, he quickly helped Yang Xi up and said, "Wenran doesn't have to do this. This time, Wen Ran came to summon Wen Ran to ask for something. Wen Ran was in danger. How could I be surprised if I respect Wen Ran a glass of wine?"

"Your Majesty, it's okay to say that, I'm willing to work hard for Your Majesty!" Yang Xiu was loud and loud.

Liu Chan said happily: "I want to set up an intelligence agency, which I personally govern, but I have no suitable candidates. I would like to ask Wen Ran to help me with my advice."

Yang Xi naturally had no objection. Your Majesty wanted to set up an intelligence agency. Obviously, Your Majesty was dissatisfied with the lack of targets and ears. If a new agency was established, the Secretary of State ordered Chen Fu to be affected first. Your Majesty treats each other with sincerity and should be the duty of a minister and should not be afraid of his hands.

For several days, Yang Xi went to the palace to discuss with Liu Chan, but no one knew what was being discussed.

At the same time, Chen Qi was busy with the matters of comforting refugees, registering households, and assigning arable land. Chen Qi personally did all the matters of Xu Youfuzhi. After thoroughly investigating corrupt officials, he handed over to Fan Jian and Deng Liang. Chen Qi didn't ask, and took Xu You to travel around every day, and his subordinates were also busy.

When Fan Jian and Deng Liang saw that Chen Qi handed over the anti-corruption work to the two, they didn't even give any instructions, they knew that this was intentional refusal. Deng Liang was full of resentment. No one was willing to do this thankless work, nor could they do it. If the anti-corruption work is done well, His Majesty will be very happy, but all officials will hate them to the core. If they cannot do it well, His Majesty will be angry, but not anyone in the world is willing to rescue them. Besides, Chen Qi had already released the wind and the court would thoroughly investigate the corruption, which would be even more difficult. The two had trouble and sighed all day long.

Compared to Deng Liang's impetuousness, Fan Jian is much more experienced, so he simply stopped doing nothing. Deng Liang was inevitably nagging again. He went to find Fan Jian several times, but Fan Jian stayed in the door.

At this time, a message came into the palace and Huang Hao died. Huang Hao, who had just faded out of everyone's sight, died like this. He heard that he had died of drowning and had been buried on the ground.

After hearing this, Liu Chan sighed and said, "Huang Hao is so disappointing Chen Fengzong's hard work."

When Chen Qi rescued Huang Hao in private, someone reported it to Liu Chan. Liu Chan also passed the letter from King Ganling. But he never replied. After all, he had just possessed him for a short time. Facing a brother who had been together since childhood, if something was missing, it would be a trouble. He simply ignored it.

Brothers can ignore them, but sons cannot ignore them. After Liu Rui's death, the six brothers were not in high spirits, at least on the surface. The position of the prince cannot always be empty, but the prince has been sentenced to death for a while, and it is not clear yet. The matter of establishing a crown prince is very important, and the consequences are unpredictable if he stands in the wrong team. Not to mention it, let's talk about the dispute between the prince of the Eastern Wu several years ago, and countless ministers were exiled and executed, among which the ministers of the great masters of the Wu Kingdom. The ministers dare not mention it lightly. In addition, Your Majesty has changed a lot and he has not figured out his preferences and suggested that it was something that he did only to be impatient when he lived.

All the princes were waiting for the ministers to express their opinions, and all the ministers were waiting to see His Majesty's attitude. Liu Chan did not focus on this at all. So the princes were depressed.

King Anding Liu Yao was the most uneasy. As soon as Liu Rui died, the remaining brothers were the biggest, and the position of the crown prince by seniority may be his own. But the father is now acting strangely and does not follow common sense. In addition, the shadow of Liu Rui's affairs is still there, so it is hard to say whether it is sorted by age.

King Liu Cong of Xihe did not want to be the crown prince, but instead kept worrying about his life and death. After all, the crown prince Liu Rui was the best at his life and death. That time, he was weak and sick, and Liu Rui fell ill. He thought the two brothers were sympathetic, but he was secretly planning a rebellion. Although the father did not pursue the matter, he did not say anything to comfort him afterwards. You should know that although the former crown prince Zhang Yu and the crown prince servant Jiang Xian did not participate in rebellion, he was an important minister around the crown prince, and he was not responsible for teaching the crown prince for such a major matter and was already imprisoned. Every time he thought that he was safe and sound, Liu Cong would be in vain.

Liu Chan and Yang Xi had been discussing for several days, and after Queen Zhang's reminder, they remembered that they had six sons. Liu Chan, who had not started a family in later generations, still lacked the concept of family, but no one would care about a few irrelevant sons.

The princes now live in their own palaces, no longer gathered near Liu Chan's Changle Palace like they did when they first gathered. In addition to safety considerations, they also meant to avoid suspicion. Liu Chan thought about it and decided to summon six sons in Changle Palace, so he sent someone to summon him. He walked outside the palace, followed by the new secretary Lang Sima Shengzhi.

Sima Sheng's name is Xingxian, a native of Mianzhu, Guanghan. He was originally a state-owned person. He was a close friend of Xi Zheng. He was recommended by Xi Zheng to serve as Secretary. He just took office today. He not only acted appropriately, but also had no nervous feeling when he met the saint for the first time, which made people feel generous, decent, down-to-earth and reliable. Liu Chan was quite satisfied, so he did not bring others and ordered Sima Sheng's companionship.

Xi Zheng and Chen Yu led a group of old people to guide the newly selected eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and only after passing the assessment could they enter the palace. Liu Chan thought about taking Sima Shengzhi straight to Tongxin Palace - which is the place to train newcomers in the palace. Sima Sheng did not say anything, but just followed closely.

When Liu Chan left, the princes rushed over after hearing the summons of his father. But when they arrived at Changle Palace, the servant said that His Majesty had left with his secretary, Sima Shengzhi, for a long time, and everyone could not help but look at each other.

Qiao Zhou has been studying for a long time and has left his residence for a while. Today, Qiao Mansion welcomes a distinguished guest, Yang Xi. Yang Xi is ten years old, Qiao Zhou is now fifty-seven years old, and Yang Xi is already nearly 70 years old. The two have a lot of relationships and have a good relationship. Seeing that the person who came was Yang Xi, Qiao Zhou was in a good mood and called his proud disciples to introduce them to Yang Xi one by one.

After seeing everyone one by one, Yang Xi smiled and said, "I have something important to discuss with Yunnan today. Yunnan should not refute me."

Qiao Zhou smiled when he heard this: "Duke Yang Gao was promoted to Tingwei. Did he be interested in me, these incompetent disciples?"

Yang Xi laughed and said, "People say that Qiao Yunnan has no eloquence, but when he sees him today, they are all false." After saying that, the two of them laughed with their hands.

The two of them were talking a lot. When several disciples of Qiao Zhou in the hall saw that the teacher was so happy, they felt moved. Qiao Zhou was introverted and low-key, and rarely argued with others. Although she was smart, handsome and not good at speaking, she was not good at speaking. Now facing Yang Xi, she was eloquent, which shows how deep the friendship between the two was.

"I'm not sure about it. This time I came here to visit my old friend, and I also hope to borrow a good disciple from Yunnan. Is Yunnan willing to give up?" The two talked for a long time, and Yang Xi finally turned to the topic.

"Yang Gong said, how could Zhou not follow me? It's just that Yang Gong used most of the names of punishment, but no one practiced me as a student. I don't know who Yang Gong wanted to borrow?" Qiao Zhou agreed, but also raised questions. Whether his disciples were studying at home or studying in Shu, they were inherited by Confucianism. No one practiced the law, and it seemed that the matter of punishment was not very useful if they went to Yang Xiu's men.

However, when Yang Xi spoke, the disciples who accompanied him were secretly excited. They could do things for the nine ministers of the court, which was a step further. It was even more attractive to most disciples who had not had any experience as an official.

"Don't worry, Yun Nan, you will never bury their talents with me. Your Majesty is in charge of the government, and Yun Nan should have heard of recent events. Nowadays, there are many vacancies when employed people. Young people are full of ambitions and passionate, and they always have to hone their skills to become great."

"If these incompetent disciples were handed over to Mr. Yang, I would be relieved. Not only Mr. Yang's intentions are there?" Qiao Zhou had this idea for a long time, but the government had always been in control of Chen Wu and Huang Hao and could not be used. Now the situation has changed drastically, and Yang Xi recommended it again, and he was happy.

Yang Xi was confident and his eyes swept across everyone's faces under the hall.

In Tongxin Palace, Chen Yu, Xi was taking seven or eight eunuchs, and his maids were teaching the etiquette of the newcomers. There were more than fifty newcomers preparing to enter the palace, including twenty palace maids, and the rest were all eunuchs. Outside the palace, there were many poor families who had been eunuchs who had been looking forward to entering the palace to make a living. There were also smart and cute children who were attracted by others, secretly kidnapped and castrated to be sold for a good price. So Chen Yu, Xi was not worried about the number of people, but worried that these people were all from the bottom. In the past, newcomers came to the palace, and all the old people were staring at every word and deed in the imperial court system, and the environment even prompted the new people to quickly integrate into the new people.

Nowadays, the old people have cleared out eight or nine out of ten, leaving no more than fifty people, making it difficult to maintain a big atmosphere. In addition, the ones on Queen Zhang are far from enough. Once too many new people pour in the palace, the difficulty of management and control will be greatly increased. What is even more terrifying is the past in the palace that followed the rules and regulations, and the old led the new ones are no longer possible, and there is no implementation. When the new people first arrive, it is easy to discipline them all around them. If they are all similar people from the bottom, it is not impossible to collude and cause any disaster.

Therefore, the headache for the two is that while restoring the staffing in the palace, they also need to ensure the safety of the palace. Speaking of teaching the rules, it is actually mainly done by the four eunuchs and four maids brought by the two. Chen Yu is the Huangmen Minister who was promoted to an extraordinary position recently, and is a complete newcomer. Xi Zheng's responsibilities for more than ten years are only the Secretary-General. Although he is a talented person, he does not know much about the trivial matters and professional knowledge of eunuchs and palace maids.

The process of training newcomers is also the process of learning between Chen Yu and the other two. The pace and posture of the newcomers transporting utensils in the hall was correcting the pace and posture of the newcomers transporting utensils. Suddenly, the eunuch outside the hall shouted: "Your Majesty is here!"
