Humane Yongchang

Light snow solar terms.

In Chang'an District of Jinling, there is a family banquet in the Chen Family Courtyard, with thirty tables open.

Chen Sheng made regular clothes and took his family out to eat in the palace.

At the banquet, a large group of aunts from the Chen family surrounded the Niu and Ma brothers who were out of the palace for the first time, and the aunts and aunts all took turns to do it with smiles on their faces.

Some said that the two brothers had eyebrows and eyes like Chen Sheng, and handsome faces like Qing Niang.

Others said that the two brothers and Chen Sheng were carved out of the same mold when they were young.

Brother Niu and Ma are also very face-saving today. They don't cry when they start, they just stare left and right with big clear eyes, as if they are recognizing someone.

On the other side, the nonsense of Chen Shou and a group of old buddies sipping wine and meat was also loud...

After the incident at the Shangshuilu Daochang, he also handed over the military power of the Beijing garrison division in hand to the court, and he completely retreated.

After all, his current status is too special.

In particular, he will be the first person in the history of Kyushu to become the Supreme Emperor without being a ruler, and his name will go down in history.

If the old man is allowed to continue commanding the army, and he goes to the front line, Chen Sheng will be frightened, his superiors and subordinates will be frightened, and even the enemy will be frightened.

If the old man is not allowed to go to the front line, then it will be the turn of Manchao civil and military to suffer. Leaving aside the others, how polite should you treat Chen Shou when you see him?Treat him with the courtesy of a king, or with that of a colleague?Either is right, and neither is right.

The place next to it is very lively...

Only the juniors at the tables where Chen Sheng was, were as quiet as chickens!
In fact, at family banquets, uncles at home would sit with Chen Sheng. After all, not only did he have a high status in the court, but he also had a high status in the family.

This time, they used the excuse of the older brothers to have a few drinks, and specially arranged the juniors to be near Chen Sheng, hoping that the youngsters in their family who hadn't seen both sides of Chen Sheng for a year, would have a good connection with Chen Sheng.

Regarding their ideas, Chen Shou was happy to see their success, and Chen Sheng did not resist.

It's just that they ignored it. With the help of their status as elders, they couldn't say a few words in front of Chen Sheng.

If it's the brats who are both bad brothers in public and private, which one can straighten their tongues?
All of them are stubborn and stiff, just like kindergarten children, sitting upright at the dining table without squinting, giving people the impression that the next second their name is clicked, he will run away immediately Get up and say "arrive" loudly to give you a sense of sight.

Chen Sheng didn't speak, and no one dared to speak.

As soon as Chen Sheng opened his mouth, everyone followed suit.

Chen Sheng felt uncomfortable sitting there.

They are also on pins and needles.

But no one is good to go first.

The surrounding uncles and aunts secretly looked at this side, angry and secretly anxious, but if they were allowed to come here to distract the tense atmosphere...they wouldn't dare!

In the end, it was Chen Sheng who pretended to lower his voice, and talked about official business with Chen Feng who was sitting next to him, and did not look at other people. The tense and oppressive atmosphere around him gradually relaxed, and finally someone dared to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the piece of food he was staring at. Chicken legs that have been around for a while...

In all fairness, Chen Sheng did not give these brothers a chance.

They didn't know that their promotions seemed to be a normal process, but in fact they were all handled by Chen Sheng himself.

Every month, their performance in their respective positions will be collected in Chen Sheng's hands. As long as those who show their talents and achievements in their positions, they will be promoted to a higher level in as short as three months or as long as half a year. position.

It seems that this kind of promotion that does not specifically open the back door for a certain person is not considered as much cultivation and promotion.

But in fact, this kind of unimpeded promotion path is the highest pursuit of most people in politics as long as they have talents and achievements.

And Chen Sheng has already given them the opportunity in this way, and no one has been able to enter the Yanqing Palace in a dignified manner, which shows that their talents are indeed not outstanding enough.

This is normal, those families of officials and eunuchs whose poems and books are heirlooms are more likely to produce prodigal sons than talents.

What's more, the Chen family, a family of merchants who used to rely on merchants to make a living?
Anyway, from Chen Sheng's point of view, his brothers in this generation don't have much hope, and it depends on whether the next generation can produce two good seedlings.

But the next generation, who have not experienced the period of the Chen family of peddling together for warmth, and the connection with their old Chen family will be gradually diluted and alienated by the power, and it is hard to say how many symbiotic emotions of the four generations will be retained by then...

'The reason why reality is realistic may be that it does not depend on people's will. '

Chen Sheng sighed softly in his heart, he had gradually tasted the helplessness in the words "lonely and widowed".

The so-called helplessness means that at his current stage, no matter whether he wants to be a loner or not, he will eventually become a loner passively.

This may be the true meaning of the phrase "the heights are too cold"!
"Your special warfare bureau, after the founding ceremony, you will reorganize the Jinyiwei. You have to start the preliminary work now."

Chen Sheng was thinking about something, and the pretentious chat with Chen Feng gradually turned to the main topic: "The seat of the Commander of Jinyiwei is tentatively designated as the third rank, which is equal to the six ministers."

Chen Feng nodded. The official document on the reorganization of the Jinyiwei Bureau of the Special Warfare Bureau had been issued to him a few days ago: "Your Majesty...Brother, where is it? Is it a secret staffing, or is it a temporary post in my Special Warfare Bureau?"

He secretly pointed to Chen Qiu who was chatting and laughing with their father on the other side, meaning Qianjilou.

For a long time, the division of labor between the Special Warfare Bureau and Qianji Building's internal affairs has been very clear.

However, in the reorganization official document issued to Chen Feng this time, the authority of internal supervision was also given to the soon-to-be-established Jinyiwei.

Chen Sheng: "I'll make other arrangements over there. You have to keep this matter a secret. Anyone in Jinyiwei who knows about the existence of Qianji Building must issue a password."

Chen Feng nodded again and again: "I can save it."

After pondering for a while, Chen Sheng asked again: "How is the investigation of the noble families in various places going?"

Chen Feng instinctively wanted to report the good news and not the bad news, but when he was about to leave his mouth, he thought that this was a family banquet, and Chen Sheng was chatting with him as an elder brother, rather than asking him as a king in Yan Qing Palace , and replied honestly: "There is a lot of resistance, and the progress is very slow. Those big families with real bloodlines still know the importance. They have either found a way out in advance, or the strong men cut off their wrists to cooperate with our work. What should be bet, what should be bet Copy it, it's not a big problem."

"The real headaches are those wealthy households in poor villages with high mountains and far distances. They have heard some rumors but don't know much about them. In addition, the local villains are familiar. As soon as our people from the Special Warfare Bureau pass by, they will be surrounded by them on all sides. , you clearly know that he has problems, but no matter where you go or whoever you see, you are full of praise for him. A big dog with a notorious reputation for hundreds of miles, but his reputation in the local area is as good as doing good things and repairing bridges and roads Such a kind family, but we know what kind of quality these offals are, and there is nothing we can do about them!"

He looked at Chen Sheng expectantly, implying something.

Chen Sheng glanced at him, shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't even think about torture, it's internal, if I let go, anyone will be able to pull my tiger's skin and torture me in the future. It is very difficult to destroy it, but it is very easy to destroy it. Perhaps one unjust or wrong case can destroy the century-old rule of law project.”

Chen Feng was a little disappointed, but he still understood the meaning of Chen Sheng's words. He nodded and said, "I'll tell the people below me to be more patient about the big brother's lesson..."

Chen Sheng picked up a piece of radish and put it into his mouth, chewed and pondered for a while, and felt that this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

The founding ceremony was just around the corner, and he couldn't build his ancestral temple on a dark land full of bandits and bullies, and the people couldn't see any light upwards.

That's not the world he wants!
Nor is it the prosperity he promised his subjects!

He suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "What evening is this evening?"

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, and replied: "October fourteenth!"

Chen Sheng nodded: "Do you still remember what you did in Xiapi?"

Chen Feng thought about it for a while, and suddenly sat up straight: "Brother is talking about...the public trial?"

Chen Sheng nodded: "I will give you a hundred days, and you will launch a public trial involving all states, counties, counties, towns, and villages in Kyushu, and all the scum of people who ignore human life, bully the market, and run rampant in the fish and meat township, Put them all on trial!"

"Listen clearly, what I said is 'all', which means that no matter whether the object of the public trial is the grandson of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or the state shepherd and county guard of my big man, as long as your special warfare bureau can verify the evidence of his evil, you will give I will bring him to trial."

"If you deserve to be killed, if you deserve to be beaten, if you deserve to be beaten, if you dare to resist with force, you should notify the local garrison, and you will be punished as treason!"

"I will greet Xiao He, who is responsible for measuring and distributing cultivated land in the court, and Han Fei, the right minister, and ask them to send people to cooperate with you in this matter."

"Remember, the momentum must be big. I want ten years later, the rich and powerful officials in the world will still be so scared that they will run away with buckets at night when they hear the words 'public trial assembly'."

"Hands must be ruthless, tigers must be beaten, flies must be swatted, and all of them should be dealt with severely and severely. Those who deserve a severe punishment of 20 will be beheaded. [-] years of labor reform."

"In short, my principle is, never wrong a good person, but never let a bad person go!"

"Within [-] days, clean up the mountains and rivers of Kyushu for me!"

"Let's hold the founding ceremony cleanly!"

Chen Feng looked at his elder brother tremblingly, feeling the cold wind around his body, "Brother, did you drink?"

At the beginning, there was only half of Xuzhou, but the heads were piled up and the corpses piled up like a mountain.

Now a public trial conference is going to be launched in the entire Kyushu?
How about killing tens of thousands of people?

Chen Sheng looked at him and asked back, "Are you afraid?"

Chen Feng shrank his neck, and replied truthfully: "It's a little bit, but it's..."

"That's it!"

Chen Sheng interrupted him and said softly, "I'll do it myself!"

He knew more about the impact of this matter than Chen Feng.

Performing a tumor resection operation on the entire Kyushu at one time is a major event that can shake the world and even change the dynasty in any era.

But if you don't do it now, it will be even more difficult to do it after the system of the great Han has taken root in the ruins of the old era.

At that time, the resistance he faces will not only be external, but also internal.

But if it is slowly figured out...

Then I'm afraid it will really become a lifetime series.

Whether he can see that day himself, Chen Sheng is not sure.

But the three generations who are currently living in Kyushu are probably invisible.

In hundreds of years, how many people will continue to die tragically under the legacy of the old era?
Justice delayed, is that still justice?Does it still make sense?

As soon as he heard Chen Sheng say that he would come in person, Chen Feng became impatient, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty will hold a long whip to Yu Yunei, how can you let these dirty things that are not on the table dirty your hands? The last general asks for orders to take charge of this matter." At the Kyushu Public Trial Conference, I am willing to devote all my strength to open a clear and bright world for my great man!"

Chen Sheng said seriously: "A gentleman has a word."

Chen Feng said without hesitation: "A four-horse is hard to catch!"

There was a smile on Chen Sheng's face, and he patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. From another perspective, this is a good thing. As long as you can do this well, your name, Chen Feng, will last forever. In the future, you Jin Yiwei can also walk in and out of courts and temples with his head held high!"

"Don't be afraid of the wind and waves, with my million Han soldiers around, how big the wind and waves can't be suppressed by us?"

"We are not afraid of losses. Only by eradicating these weeds that take up space and rob the land can we grow more crops, and the crops will grow better!"

Chen Feng thought about it carefully: "Yes, I'm afraid of chicken feathers?"As long as the eldest brother supports me, who can do anything to me?Is it possible that who can come here to beat me? '

He happened to reply when suddenly a pair of Bai Shengsheng's palms slapped the two brothers' shoulders, neither lightly nor hard.

The two brothers looked up neatly, and saw Zhao Qing standing between them with a smile like a flower: "What business do you have to talk about now? If you don't hurry up and eat, the younger brothers will grab all the delicious food!"

When Chen Feng heard the words, he lowered his head, only to find that the chicken, duck and fish on the table hadn't moved much. The brothers around them straightened up and looked at them with serious faces.

He suddenly realized...it turned out that he and his elder brother were too serious about discussing serious matters, and the brothers around them didn't dare move their chopsticks anymore.

But Chen Sheng looked at Zhao Qing fixedly.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen this woman laughing so silly.

She has been working hard to imitate the appearance of the mother of a country, manage the harem, serve him in daily life, take the lead in saving the expenses in the palace, and persuade him to listen to the opinions of his courtiers.

That day Li Si pretended to be stupid and resigned for the second time, Chen Sheng went back to the harem angrily, it was Zhao Qing who persuaded him to talk to Li Si and the others calmly.

Maybe she wasn't doing a good enough job.

But she worked really hard, hard.

When she married into the Chen family, she never told her that she would be the mother of the country in the future...

"Idiot, I haven't seen enough!"

Zhao Qing smiled "hehe" and lightly tapped Chen Sheng's forehead, his big eyes bent into beautiful crescents.

Chen Sheng smiled, took her palm with one hand, and the syrup in front of him with the other, stood up and said loudly to all the people in and around the house who were looking this way: "If you don't drink alcohol, just drink this bowl of wine." Syrup, I respectfully warn all uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters!"

"Although I, a big man, ruled the world, Chen Sheng did not do it alone. It was my millions of Han soldiers who braved the wind and snow and ran here and there for six years. They threw their heads and blood in dozens of fierce battles. Take millet and get it!"

"I promised them that I would give them a fair, equal and peaceful world."

"Manly man, get a nail with every spittle, I will never renege on my promise and get fat!"

"So, although I will be the lord of Kyushu, I can't promise the position of princes and princes."

"Everyone still has to rely on their own talents and hard work to obtain a beautiful and rich life."

"You still have to abide by the laws of my big man and be a law-abiding and good citizen."

"I can only promise everyone that as long as Chen Sheng is here, our family will never be bullied."

"Chen Sheng will always be the boss of the Chen family, he was before, he is now, and he will still be in the future."

"I hope all the uncles, aunts, and brothers and sisters can understand the hard-won unification and peace of my big man, and the hard-won future that I bear the livelihood of thousands of people. If there is any neglect, Chen Sheng will first apologize!"

He drank the syrup in the bowl in one gulp, and then bowed to the uncles in the other side to apologize.

Zhao Qing stuck close to him, and bowed to apologize together with him.

Seeing them bowing, the juniors of the Chen family sitting in front of them quickly retreated to the left and right sides as if fleeing. Said some distressed words about Chen Sheng.

The uncles in the distance also stood up from the banquet...

It can be said that they are not disappointed or lost at all.

That must be impossible!

Since ancient times, which family has not achieved the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven?
Not to mention being an emperor once, even the head of a mere county, after securing his seat, will wantonly install relatives and confidantes, wishing to drag the family's dogs to the yamen to eat a portion of imperial food!
Moreover, when Chen Sheng competed in Kyushu, the Chen family also tried their best. Which one of the young men in the family who can wield a sword has never been on the battlefield?

How could they not expect that after Chen Sheng rose to power, they would also be able to gain some light?
Fight father and son soldiers, fight tiger brothers!
But to say that they are dissatisfied with Chen Sheng because of this, or even jealous of Chen Sheng, that would not be the case.

Chen Sheng made it clear.

Chen Sheng was not ambiguous about the matter.

Let's not talk about the property and food that Chen Sheng delivered to them through Chen Shou's hand.

The youngsters in the family who are willing to make progress have all received a good job as the emperor's salary, so let's not talk about it!

Just the completed monument outside the Heroes' Shrine in the western suburbs alone has ensured that they have no worries about food and clothing for generations...

Except for not giving them face.

The lining that should be given, Chen Sheng did not short them at all.

If this is dissatisfaction and resentment, then it is too ignorant!

'It's good to stop thinking about it and live a life of duty in the future! '

The uncles of the Chen family looked at each other and muttered to themselves.

Standing on tiptoe, Chen Shou looked at the only son among the crowd, feeling very proud.
