Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 730
All the ministers looked at Xin Zhao with astonishment on their faces, wondering what Xin Zhao had done to put the blame in the hands of the emperor. Obviously, the emperor wanted to take Xin Zhao to sacrifice the flag now.

Xin Zhao didn't know what he had done. He had been recuperating at home honestly recently. That was because Wang Jingyao sent someone to contact him when he wanted to rebel, but he didn't respond. That was true. He is a Buddhist who maintains health, and his Ministry of Rites has always come to Qingshui Yamen, and no one asks him to give gifts. He thought about it and couldn't figure out what he had committed in Wang Mang's place, but no matter what he committed, he must first apologize. is absolutely correct.

Wang Mang looked coldly at Xin Zhao whining that he was wronged, and couldn't help saying, "Why are you wronged?"

Xin Zhao looked stunned, he didn't know where he was wronged, he didn't do anything, he was waiting for Wang Mang to make trouble first and then he was calling for injustice, now Wang Mang directly asked him where he was wronged, Xin Zhao was speechless.

Wang Mang couldn't help snorting coldly, and said: "I have nothing to say? No matter what you encounter, you complain about injustice beforehand. This is a bad habit you learned when you encountered it. You clearly feel that you didn't do anything. Why are you complaining about injustice?"

"Chen..." Zhao Xin was speechless to refute, so he knelt on the ground and did not speak.

Wang Mang said: "Xin Zhao, you are the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the duty of diplomacy is in your Ministry of Rites, right?"

"Yes." Xin Zhao whispered.

"Then my question, now that Han and Zhao are declaring war on our Great Qin, and 130 million coalition troops brazenly invaded our Qin State, what did your Ministry of Rites do?" Wang Mang said,

Zhao Xin's expression was full of panic, he directly kowtowed and said: "The minister will go back and write a letter to the countries to severely condemn the actions of South Korea and Zhao, and at the same time make solemn representations to South Korea and Zhao to urge the two countries to stop fighting."

"Is that all?" Wang Mang asked.

Xin Zhao broke out in a cold sweat, and said in a low voice: "I can't think of anything else at the moment. The Taichang Temple was originally responsible for this diplomatic matter, and my Ministry of Rites is only responsible for part of it. Although the functions of the Taichang Temple have been merged Come here, but..."

Xin Zhao suddenly saw Chu Feng on the side, and quickly pointed to Chu Feng and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Feng was originally the Minister of Taichang Temple, so he must have opinions on this."

Chu Feng glared at Xin Zhao fiercely, and said, "I'm the head of the Law Enforcement Bureau now, and you, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, are the Secretary of Taichang Temple, Mr. Zhao, and the Ministry of Rites has to make the decision on this matter."

Xin Zhao is well aware of Chu Feng's dissatisfaction with him, and he is also aware of this matter. Thinking about it in another way, if his Ministry of Rites is eaten by Taichang Temple, his face towards Chu Feng will not be much better.

It's just that at this time, it's really not easy to talk about the entanglements between the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple, Zhao Dao said: "Master Chu, after all, you are the former Secretary of Taichang Temple and an expert in diplomacy. If you really have any thoughts on this It can be said that it is also good for His Majesty and Daqin."

asshole!

Chu Feng cursed secretly in his heart, the damned Chu Feng actually set himself a trap at this time, if he didn't express his position at this moment, he would be disloyal to the emperor and Daqin.

Glancing at Xin Zhao fiercely again, Chu Feng said respectfully to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty, I think you can first capture all the businessmen and people with unknown origins in Qin from Han and Zhao. This is also the habit of all countries in war. Death is to prevent the enemy country from fanning the flames behind and causing chaos in the rear."

"What else?" Wang Mang said.

"Send a letter to the Continental Alliance, and ask the Continental Alliance to be fair." Chu Feng said again: "I, Qin, and Han and Zhao are both important components of the Continental Alliance, and the emergence of the Continental Alliance is to create a negotiable table for all countries. Now, Qin and South Korea and Zhao are about to start a war, and the Continental Alliance, whose mission is to maintain the peace of the continent, should stop it."

"But since the two countries dare to send troops, it means that this matter is acquiesced by the Continental Alliance." Zhao Dao said.

"It's tacit consent rather than express consent." Chu Feng said: "We must distinguish the nature of this. If we write the Continental Alliance and the Continental Alliance does not care, then my Qin State will destroy the two countries of Korea and Zhao in the future. The Continental League can't say no to it either."

All the officials in the court are old foxes. After Chu Feng’s reminder, everyone suddenly realized that if the Continental Alliance doesn’t care about this matter today, no matter what happens in Daqin in the future, the Continental Alliance will have no room to intervene. If they can bypass the Continental Alliance, So how much profit will there be.

But everything has to be put aside for the time being, and it is still necessary to make the current battle a good one.

"Yes, the Ministry of Rites will handle it accordingly." Wang Mang nodded, and then glanced at Zhao Daodao: "As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, you must learn the business of your own yamen."

"I understand." Zhao Xin nodded with fear, but he didn't feel grateful to Chu Feng in his heart. He just felt that Chu Feng was too much in the limelight today, and even brought a lot of threats to himself. You can't let this candidate for the Minister of Rites really kick him out and take the position of Minister of Rites.

Wang Mang was too lazy to care what Zhao Xinxin thought, looked around at the ministers and said: "In the battle of Hangu Pass, I still plan to march by myself..."

"Your Majesty!"

"This is a serious matter. Your Majesty is the son of Qin, with a noble status. How can he go to Hangu Pass?"

"As His Majesty, you must not go there. Besides, there are millions of people fighting at Hangu Pass. It is really dangerous for Your Majesty to go to your place of tigers and wolves. It is best to stay in Chang'an and sit in command."

"General Wang Jian and Lord Wang Yongji are on the front line, and there are generals Wang Yi, Li Guang and other bloody battles. Although the Han-Zhao coalition army is powerful, there are several generals present, and they will definitely not be able to break through Hangu Pass. Your Majesty does not need to take risks at Hangu Pass. .”

As soon as Wang Mang finished speaking, countless ministers in the entire hall directly stopped him loudly. Although the ministers in the court have been changed a few times, they are generally dominated by conservatives. They like the emperor to rule with his bow This set, I don't like the emperor's meddling in everything, and I don't like the emperor's personal tour and parade to escape their eyes.

How could Wang Mang talk to these ministers, snorted coldly, and Li Lan shouted suddenly: "Be quiet!"

Under the infusion of Wang Mang's elixir, Li Lan's cultivation base is now faintly about to break through the golden elixir. His cultivation base is quite impressive. With a loud shout, he silenced the chattering hall. Many of the ministers have cultivation bases Yes, they looked at Li Lan in astonishment, completely unable to understand when Li Lan, the head eunuch, had such a cultivation level. Perhaps it was hundreds of years ago, and the head eunuch in the Qin Palace did not have such a cultivation level.

Li Hong was very satisfied with the effect of his loud shout, and bowed slightly towards Wang Mang. Wang Mang looked at the ministers and said, "When did I say that I would discuss this matter with you?"

The ministers were suddenly speechless, the emperor really didn't discuss it, he just told them, but the emperor always ran around, this kind of thing was unheard of, wouldn't it just make people laugh at Qin for not understanding the way of the king?

Wang Mang said indifferently: "It has been decided that the emperor will personally conquer Hangu Pass. The 50 troops that have gathered near the imperial court will accompany me to Hangu Pass. Ministers, I know what you are thinking. I guess some people are still thinking about it." Do you think I don't know the rules?"

"I dare not wait." All the ministers said.

"Don't you dare?" Wang Mang snorted coldly, and said, "Why don't you dare? You are very courageous. The scholar-officials and the king rule the world together. Many of you have this idea in your heart? Don't think that I I don’t know anything if I’m not in Chang’an, let me tell you, it’s not that I don’t know, and it’s not that I don’t care about it, it’s just that I’m in danger now, and I’m too lazy to care about you like you.”

"I dare not, I will thank the Lord for your grace." All the ministers kowtowed their heads and pleaded guilty, saying that they had no second thoughts and were absolutely loyal to the emperor. Some ministers even swore to the sky that they would only listen to Wang Mang, as long as Wang Mang gave orders. Next, even if he has no strength to restrain the chicken, he still has to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy to the death.

For such an enthusiastic minister, with a wave of Wang Mang's hand, the poor head of the household department was temporarily recruited into the army and will go to Hangu Pass with the army. No one dared to dissuade Wang Mang from going to Hangu Pass anymore.

"I have already told the Queen Mother that when I leave Chang'an City for Hangu Pass, the important affairs of the court will be notified to the Shangyuan Palace, and the Queen Mother will make the decision." Wang Mang looked at Lu Bowen again and said: "Lu Bowen, after I leave, You are responsible for copying all affairs of the court to the front line of Hangu Pass to me, and at the same time, I will also entrust you with the matter of contacting the Yuan Palace."

"The minister takes orders." Lu Bowen instinctively wanted to decline, after all, the queen mother of Shangyuan Palace was not easy to mess with, but thinking of the fate of the head of the household department, he wisely accepted the affairs arranged by Wang Mang.

"Other matters have been properly arranged before, and the following ministers will go out with me." Wang Mang then read the names of Changsun Wuji and others, and finally said: "Everyone, if you have business, this matter will be resolved together. If there is no For other matters, I will lead the army to leave Chang'an."

All the ministers still looked at me and I looked at you, even though they wanted to talk to Wang Mang with thousands of words, but Wang Mang was about to leave Chang'an soon, so there was no need for them to plan.

All the ministers left the hall with a heavy heart. They have now vaguely understood that today's emperor likes to fight on the battlefield, or that the Qin Kingdom is suddenly surrounded by enemies from all directions, and wars are raging everywhere. It is different from the Qin they knew before. The National University is different, but they who only know how to write and write seem to be completely unable to keep up with the thinking of the emperor. They even feel that if the emperor can't find someone to replace them for a while, most of them will probably retire like Zhang Jian now. Returning home for the elderly.

Li Hong dealt with a wave of people asking for money with a bitter face. Everyone knew that the household department had a lot of money now, and everyone knew that the money from the household department would soon be gone, so everyone who had relationships and projects came. Asking Li Hong for money, he made Li Hong, the Minister of the Household Department, seem to be in debt.

"My lord, if this method of spending is used, the money in the treasury will soon be gone." Deng Tong, the left servant of the household department standing beside Li Hong, finally couldn't help but speak.

Fan Li, the right servant of the household department, sneered and said: "At any rate, they are all ministers of the court. They have been officials in the court for many years. One or two seem to have never seen money. They came here after smelling the fishy smell. In my opinion, this matter is very important. Your Majesty Ming, don’t give them any money.”

"They are all under the banner of being loyal to the imperial court, so who can we not give the money to?" Li Hong smiled wryly, and said to the left and right: "Speaking of which, I have implicated the two of you. His Majesty doesn't have a good impression there, and he won't make me so passive."

Fan Li glanced around, and suddenly said in a low voice: "My lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I think your majesty values ​​you. Otherwise, my lord, An Neng is still in the post of Minister of the Household Department?"

Li Hong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Isn't there no one who can replace me for the time being?"

Speaking of this, Li Hong was stunned, looked around, and suddenly said: "I am confused, you two are both talented in finance, why can't you replace me? Let's go Go back to the yamen to discuss the matter, and figure out how to distribute the money."

Li Hong suddenly figured it out. He had always felt that Wang Mang's dismissal of him was completely mediocre. His two current deputies, Deng Tong and Fan Liju, are well-known financial experts in the world, and anyone can replace him. Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but until now he has repeatedly made mistakes but has been fine, indicating that the emperor's favor is still there. Li Hong, who wanted to understand, immediately restored the shelf of Minister of the Ministry of Households, and returned to the Ministry of Households with his two right-hand assistants.

Different from Li Hong's sudden understanding, Yu Wenkai and a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry are really worried. For many years, the Ministry of Industry has not allocated enough funds. The owner of the house is about to recruit all the artisans registered in the Ministry of Industry, and only a few artisans left are unable to work due to various reasons. The straight road at Guguan was repaired, but Yu Wenkai was thinking about it and couldn't think of a way.

"Everyone, do you have a solution?" Yu Wenkai asked his subordinates for advice.

However, most of the officials of the Ministry of Industry have only one head, and few have flexible brains. Let them design some delicate things and they are good at it, but let them think of a way, then there is really no way.

Regardless of Yu Wenkai's sad face, Wang Yongji was the only one who left happily. He first went back to the Ministry of War and wrote a letter to Zhuge Yu, which was sent to Zhuge Yu at an expedited speed of [-] miles, informing Zhuge Yu to immediately Returning to the court to coordinate the affairs of the Ministry of War as the left servant of the Ministry of War, and then ran home to take out the battle armor that had been kept from the cabinet, and maintained it with his own hands holding the tools with bright eyes.

Xin Zhao, who returned to the Ministry of Rites, almost told all the officials of the Ministry of Rites to return to their hometowns. A group of gentlemen in the Ministry of Rites are usually in a stable state, but now they are looking at Xin Zhao with a look of embarrassment. They are also a little wronged. Xin Zhao has a good time every day, so he seems to be comfortable and comfortable. Who knows why Han and Zhao countries can't think about it and suddenly start a war with Qin?And the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of diplomacy, did nothing in this matter, which is really wronged from top to bottom.

Xin Zhao finally got tired, and waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and do things, don't you want me to watch you and teach you how to do things?"

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites immediately held their hats and scattered like birds and beasts. Looking at the messy officials, Xin Zhao couldn't help sighing. He wanted to learn from the saints and rule by doing nothing, but how could these idiots be so useless without him?
