travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 138
As soon as they heard that Sha Huwei had a solution, all eyes turned to Sha Huwei again.

Many ministers secretly thought in their hearts: Normally, it is hard to see that this guy Sha Huwei has such abilities, it seems that he is a seedling worth cultivating.

Zhao Fei also looked at Sha Huwei with admiration, usually he would see some conservative people in the court hall, but there are very few people who are as aggressive as Sha Huwei.

Sha Huwei lived up to expectations, looked around at the ministers and said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite Your Majesty to personally march!"

Driving in person?

Why does it sound so familiar?

Zhao Fei looked stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows, but remembered that it was Sha Huwei who raised this matter last time, but this proposal was not approved last time, and was rejected on the spot.

At this moment, Sha Huwei brought up the old matter again, but it made Zhao Fei think seriously.

"Lord Sha, didn't the matter of His Majesty's personal conquest be rejected at the last court meeting?" Qin Hui said, "Why did you bring it up again this time?"

"Your Excellency, I don't know something." Sha Huwei said: "The last time I proposed your Majesty's personal conquest was to keep the enemy out of the country, but this time I proposed the personal conquest to solve the affairs of officials in Hebei Province."

"Oh?" Qin Hui said, "Tell me carefully."

"Yes, my lord." Sha Huwei moved two steps, and said in a loud voice: "As for the matter of Hebei Province, what the imperial court is worried about is that once the officials of Hebei Province get the news that the imperial court will punish them, they will flee to Qing Kingdom in fear of crime. , I don’t know if what I did was right.”

"En." Zhao Fei nodded, signaling Sha Huwei to continue.

Sha Huwei continued: "Then for the imperial court, it is to solve the absconding of Hebei officials, so I invite your Majesty to personally conscript."

"Continue talking." Zhao Fei said.

"The Royal Conquest is a major event for the imperial court. Your Majesty can go to Hebei Province first, and then send an order for the officials of Hebei Province to come to see His Majesty. Once the officials of Hebei Province arrive, Your Majesty can order them to be captured." Sha Huwei said : "As long as the news is not leaked beforehand, then the Hebei officials will surely be captured."

"But the most difficult part is not to leak the news." Liu Yong said: "If the news can be kept, the imperial court only needs to send one or two officials to arrest them all. What's the use of His Majesty's personal conquest."

"This..." Sha Huwei was stunned for a moment, and said, "But His Majesty's personal conquest is the best way not to leak the news. At that time, everyone's eyes will be on His Majesty's personal conquest, so how can they pay attention to it?" The imperial court thoroughly investigates corruption in Hebei Road."

"What you said makes sense, but the matter of His Majesty's personal conquest is not a child's play, and you must not make a decision just because of your words." Liu Yong glanced at Sha Huwei and said: "Hebei Road is located on the border, and there is a war there, and there is danger at any time. All the ministers of the imperial court will not allow His Majesty to conquest in person, so let’s stop talking about this matter and think of other ways.”

"But..." Sha Huwei wanted to say something else.

But Qin Hui glared at him, and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to arrest people openly and aboveboard. There is really no need to be timid when doing things in the court, just be open and aboveboard."

"En." Zhao Fei nodded.

Zhao Fei heard everyone's discussion clearly, and thought about it carefully in his mind.

Zhao Fei actually thought about the matter of Yu Jia's personal conquest for a long time, and to tell the truth, Zhao Fei really wanted to go.

In the past, I only saw the emperor's imperial conquest in person in film and television dramas. It was called a horse and a whip, that was a mighty domineering, and that was a brother who wanted to live another 5000 years.

As an emperor, you say that Zhao Fei doesn't want to experience this kind of life of raising horses and killing people, that's somewhat impossible.

Rich people like to play exciting things. As the richest emperor, he also likes exciting things.

There is no doubt that fighting a war is definitely a very exciting thing.

However, while stimulating, Zhao Fei also considered one point, that is, in general, Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage in the frontier war.

Although Zhao Fei is very confident that Da Song will win the best victory, but it is not clear about things like wars. Until the end, he really doesn't know who will win and who will win.

On this issue, Zhao Fei had discussed it with Liu Yong in private. After all, there was no good news about the court war for a long time, and Zhao Fei also thought about using the imperial conquest to boost morale.

But Liu Yong expressed his objection, and said: Your Majesty, if the imperial army is in a strategically superior position at this moment, then the minister will not stop you, but will encourage you to go, but now that the battle is unclear, your Majesty has gone to the battlefield. If you win, naturally It is His Majesty who is mighty and powerful, showing the power of the Song Dynasty, but if he loses, it will be His Majesty's fault, and it will definitely not be His Majesty's brilliance and martial arts that will be passed down throughout the world.

Zhao Fei thinks about it too, as a leader, he must never make mistakes at any time, and he must always show a wise and powerful look in front of his younger brother.

In short, the credit belongs to the leader, and the fault belongs to the subordinates.

Now the frontier war is unclear, if you lose, then the frontier generals are naturally incompetent, but if you win, even though Zhao Fei did not go to the front, the court documents will still say that this victory was under Zhao Fei's wise leadership .

After discussing with Liu Yong, Zhao Fei dismissed the idea of ​​the imperial conquest.

At this moment, the old matter was brought up again, but Zhao Fei had a new idea.

Looking at the officials, Zhao Fei said, "I have an idea."

As soon as Zhao Fei opened his mouth, everyone immediately pricked up their ears, ready to listen to what Zhao Fei had to say.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be listening, Zhao Fei said: "I am going to let one person serve as an imperial envoy to go to the northern battlefield to serve as a soldier. I will give him a Shangfang sword. Seeing the sword is like seeing me."

As soon as Zhao Fei spoke, the officials immediately understood Zhao Fei's thoughts.

Qin Huidang even agreed: "Your Majesty's method is wonderful!"

"That's right, using the imperial envoy to replace His Majesty's labor force can also achieve the effect Mr. Sha said." Liu Yong said: "At that time, we only need to call together the officials of Hebei Province in the name of the imperial envoy, and naturally we can also complete the task at once. capture."

"That's right." Lin Wanrong said immediately, "After the imperial envoy arrests someone, he doesn't have to come back. He sorts out the affairs of the Hebei Province on the spot, and at the same time, he is ordered to work for the army. It is indeed a wise way to kill two birds with one stone."

Sha Huwei swallowed his saliva when he looked at the officials who suddenly became excited.

Seeing that everyone agrees with his ideas, Zhao Fei said: "Since you all agree with my point of view, then it's done like this. I'm just a candidate for the imperial envoy. Is there anyone willing to recommend himself?"

When Zhao Fei said this, everyone fell silent immediately.

Since ancient times, there has been a truth that is close to the truth, that is, follow the leader to get promoted.

Now the people in this room are basically the central ministers of the imperial court, and each of them is a figure who stomps his feet and shakes the world.

How could they be willing to let them give up the position they had finally established within the imperial court and go to the frontier to cultivate wasteland.

Everyone knows that if you are under the leadership's nose, what good is it that the leader will think of you, but once you are out of the leader's sight, what good is the leader will think of you?

And most importantly, being an imperial envoy this time is not to do good deeds, but to arrest hundreds of court officials.

Never mind what mistakes these officials made.

As long as you know the relatives and friends of these people, and their acquaintances are almost all over the government and the public, you can imagine that when you go, hundreds of people will be killed, and at the same time, you will offend almost half of the officials in the court.

This kind of thing that has no benefit at all, everyone has one idea: Whoever goes will be stupid!

Seeing everyone's silence, Zhao Fei understood what everyone was thinking. These people are afraid of offending others, so they want to be good people!

After pondering for a while, Zhao Fei said, "Then do you have any recommendations?"

When Zhao Fei asked this question, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then, as if agreed in advance, everyone's eyes fell on Sha Huwei at the same time.

Sha Huwei felt the gazes all around him falling on him, and immediately understood the thoughts of the adults.

The trouble you caused yourself, you solve it yourself!

Knowing that he is now the target of public criticism, Sha Huwei smiled wryly in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take this trip, but..."

Seeing that someone finally stood up and was willing to take a trip, Zhao Fei was immediately overjoyed and said, "Is there any difficulty?"

"It's not difficult." Sha Huwei said: "It's just that your Majesty and all the adults know that I and the Governor of Hebei Province, Wang Lin, are Jinshi in the same discipline and old friends. This matter needs to be avoided by the minister."

"That's nothing." Liu Yong said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you don't avoid your relatives if you are a virtuous person. Lord Sha doesn't need to have these worries."

"Liu Yong, you're right." Zhao Fei echoed, "Sha Huwei, you don't need to worry so much. You are doing things for me, all for the court."

Do you not avoid relatives if you promote the virtuous?
Is this Nima a virtuous person?
Sha Huwei cursed a few words in his heart, but seeing that Zhao Fei had already made up his mind, he didn't dare to say more at the moment, so he could only say: "Then I will accept this task, but there is only one point, and I still need your Majesty's explicit instructions."

"What?" Zhao Fei asked.

"Your Majesty knows that if I leave, hundreds of officials on the entire Hebei Road will become guilty ministers, and all of them will be taken back to Chang'an for trial, and more officials will be classified according to the law to determine their crimes." Sha Hu Wei said: "It's just that so many officials and bureaucrats were arrested at the same time, how should the government affairs of the entire Hebei Province be handled?"

"The imperial court will appoint officials to go with you." Zhao Fei said, turning to look at Qin Hui and saying, "Qin Aiqing, can the official department do this?"

Now that the Ministry of Officials does not have a Minister, the affairs of the Ministry of Officials are managed by Qin Hui, and the appointment of officials is a matter of the Ministry of Officials, so Zhao Fei turned to Qin Hui on this issue.

Qin Hui, Liu Yong and others looked at each other, and then Qin Hui said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, within three days, I will definitely get the Ministry of Officials to prepare a group of officials who are willing to go to Hebei Road with Lord Sha."

"Huh?" Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Where do you get so many people?"
