On the way to the two houses, Gu Yuanbai's mind was still buzzing.
The emperor's means of transportation in the palace were both horse-drawn carriages and human-powered chariots. Gu Yuanbai rode a horse-drawn carriage. The Zhengshitang and the Privy Council each have their own offices, and the Sage will personally inspect them from time to time. Therefore, this time the Sage came in person, and the ministers did not panic. Gu Yuanbai asked them to keep busy with their own affairs, and only the Privy Council was accompanied by the Sage.
Gu Yuanbai walked slowly, and the privy envoy reported the recent events to the sage, while making good tea.
"Don't bother," Gu Yuanbai said, "Zhao Qing, I plan to build a Dongling Guard from within the Imperial Army."
Although the Privy Council is in charge of military affairs, the execution of major events is now in the hands of the emperor alone. The sage said that he wanted to build a Dongling Guard, and there was no need to tell the Privy Council.
The privy envoy asked inexplicably, "What does the Holy One mean?"
"I ordered General Cheng," Gu Yuanbai smiled, "The southern and northern divisions of the forbidden army total more than 200,000 people, and I want to select 2,000 people from them. This is not an easy task. What's more, I want to It is not a simple person, the Privy Council is in charge of military secret affairs, frontier defense, and the merging of the Imperial Army, and you will assist General Cheng to finish this matter.”
The privy envoy bowed and saluted: "The minister follows the order."
After finishing speaking, the privy envoy told Gu Yuanbai about military defense, frontier preparations, and military affairs. The Daheng Dynasty had a lack of horse resources, few cavalry, and even fewer who were proficient in horsemanship and skillful in knives and spears. Moreover, heavy cavalry was essential, and heavy cavalry was a sharp knife that opened the way.
Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai curled his lips into a smile, and said inexplicably, "Zhao Qing, I think the matter of the horses will be resolved soon."
After Gu Yuanbai finished speaking, he smiled as he looked at the secret envoy scratching his ears and cheeks.
After appreciating Lord Zhao's state of affairs, the sage left the Privy Council leisurely. The privy envoy looked at the back of the sage, and said to the people around him, dumbfounded, "The sage had already had the rules in his heart, but he didn't want to tell me, it really made the old man feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching his head."
The people around said with a smile: "There are hills and valleys on the upper chest of the Holy One."
No, whether the sage is raising or training soldiers, there is a tendency to conquer the world... Infantry, cavalry, and the Privy Council are busier than when the previous emperor was there, but this busyness gives people an indispensable sense of importance.
The privy envoy said, if Daheng annexed Xixia and Mongolia, and conquered those nomads on the grasslands... that would be incredible.
And Gu Yuanbai had already come to the political affairs hall.
The affairs in the political affairs hall are numerous and hurried, and these ministers sometimes have to take official business home to deal with them after they are on duty, but they are very satisfied, busy and happy.
Among the various institutions of Daheng, only the ministers of the Zhengshitang and the Privy Council enjoy the highest treatment. The details can be seen in the regulations. The meals they eat are sumptuous, and there are fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. The characteristics of the season, and occasionally there are refreshments from the saint. Just in this cafeteria, the plasmocarp that others are jealous of is separated.
Everyone in the imperial court knows that the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council are places that the sage relied on or favored only for ministers to enter. As long as they can enter these two places, they will surely flourish in the future. Just like the former Lord Zaifu, they are all Dahengs valued by the sage. The minister of the stock.
The talents of the Gongshuo in the Hanlin Academy and the talents in the Six Divisions all want to sharpen their heads and squeeze into these two houses.
After Gu Yuanbai inspected the political affairs hall, he still felt that there were few people. Government affairs are too busy for these people to handle. These ministers in the Political Affairs Hall are all bowed down on their desks and immersed in government affairs. These are the talents who handle government affairs for Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai naturally cherishes them. From this point of view, they are afraid that they will lie down all day long. There will be cervical vertebrae on the table.
From the time he came in until now, apart from raising his head when he saluted him, he never lifted his head from official business for the rest of the time.
Gu Yuanbai thought worriedly, if this goes on, either the spine is broken or the eyes are broken, how can this be done
"How many people are still missing in the political affairs hall?" Gu Yuanbai asked.
Shen Zhizheng said with a wry smile: "Reporting to the sage, naturally the more the better."
Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly, "There are many talented scholars in the new divisions, and there are more people in the Hanlin Academy who want to come to the Political Affairs Hall, and there are talents from the six departments. Later, you will discuss with the ministers a charter, and then hand it over to I see."
Can Zhizheng smiled happily, "All talents are the first to focus on us?"
Gu Yuanbai said with a smile: "It also depends on whether the adults are willing to let you go."
Before leaving, Gu Yuanbai talked about the rest of the political affairs hall again, working when he should work, eating only eating, sleeping only sleeping. Only when you have enough energy can you handle affairs better. A lunch break is essential. Even if you lie on the table and rest for a quarter of an hour, it is better than this.
"All of you are my ministers," Gu Yuanbai said. "Body is more important than government affairs."
The people who heard these words were so moved that they could not wait to serve the Holy One without having to sleep or eat. Gu Yuanbai looked at his persuasion, but instead made these people feel like they were beaten with blood. He couldn't help laughing, and shook his head helplessly and left the political affairs hall.
If it really doesn't work, the regular physical examination at the Tai Hospital can also start. They were reluctant to move, so Gu Yuanbai could not hold another Daheng Dynasty Officials Games.
There is a pond in front of the Zhengshi Hall. Half of the pond is covered with green plants. The water is dark. Now, this month, the lotus leaves have not grown.
Gu Yuanbai rubbed his brows and tilted his head, "Where's the carriage?"
After asking, someone brought the carriage over, and the head guard supported the saint onto the carriage. Tian Fusheng waited outside, and once the curtains of the car door were released, the scorching sun could not shine on the saint.
Gu Yuanbai took off his trousers and put on the medicine, touched the tender skin on the palm of his hand, and sighed again. When he finished packing, he happened to arrive at the door of the Hanlin Academy.
In the Imperial Academy, Chu Wei was playing chess with Kong Yilin.
One of the two is the champion of the new division, and the other is the second place in the new division. At this time, there were many people watching the excitement, including the shogun who had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and the elderly officials who were drinking tea slowly.
The two people playing chess were engrossed, with San Yuyan standing aside with his hands behind his back, looking at the chess face with a serious expression.
While Gu Yuanbai was watching chess, several young bachelors standing beside him casually glanced at him. He stopped for a moment at this glance, and then quickly looked away, daring to look again.
Where did this boy come from? How could it be better-looking than Lord Chu in their Hanlin Academy.
The people around are still watching chess, and the people around outside have lost their minds. Gu Yuanbai is extravagant, and his every move is extraordinary. Even if his breath is calm at this time, no one dares to look at it.
How many ordinary people can enter and leave the Hanlin Academy at will
Some of the guards stood in front of the door, and some followed behind the saint. The captain of the guard was afraid that these people would collide with the sage, and guarded him without a trace. Gu Yuanbai noticed it, and could not help but turn his head to the loyal captain with a smile in appreciation.
The face of Chang Yingwu Bufan of the bodyguard suddenly became red, and he stood even more straight, not daring to slack off.
It was quiet outside, and Tang Mian, who was coming here with tea, saw the saint at a glance. His eyes widened, and the cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a loud, crisp sound.
"Holy?!"
A cry made the entire Hanlin Academy uproar. Chu Wei and Kong Yilin, who were sitting playing chess, looked up and saw the smiling Sage. They hurriedly threw down the chess pieces and saluted towards the Sage together with their colleagues.
Kong Yilin lowered his head and saluted respectfully. After hearing the sage's warm voice: "Let's all get up." Then he got up with everyone.
But although he lowered his head, his stature was very conspicuous. Gu Yuanbai glanced at everyone, walked over to the chessboard, sat down in Kong Yilin's place, and said with a smile, "You're good at chess."
Chu Wei said: "It's just a little trick of carving insects."
"Tricks of carving insects?" Gu Yuanbai laughed, "Okay, how can the chess played by the champion and the second-ranking man be the tricks of carving insects?"
Chu Wei was stunned.
Gu Yuanbai pointed to the opposite position and said, "Sit down, I will play chess with the champion."
Chu Wei sat down in response, Gu Yuanbai looked around, and said, "Except for the second-ranking man, let's go."
Everyone cupped their hands and said "yes", and quickly dispersed from here. When there was no one left, Kong Yilin said in a low voice, "What is your order?"
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "Half of this game has been played, and I will play the remaining half of the game, but there are also many second-ranking men who become military advisers."
Tian Fusheng brought a chair for Kong Yilin, and Kong Yilin thanked him again before sitting beside the emperor.
It is said that playing chess can reveal a person's character. In this half-game on the table, on the contrary, Kong Yilin, who seemed to be calm, was on the sidelines with his swords and swords. There were several crises and opportunities. He looks honest and has a quiet personality, but from this game, you can tell that Kong Yilin is definitely not as low-key as his appearance. He is full of sharpness and courage, and there is even a bit of "gambling" in his actions.
This does not mean that he is not stable, on the contrary, Kong Yilin is very clear-headed and rational, and he is steadily making big bets step by step.
Compared with Kong Yilin, Chu Wei's chess style is also varied. All the roads seem to be blocked, but a sharp knife has already shown its edge. Gu Yuanbai couldn't help itching when he saw such a tit-for-tat chess face, and now he is attached to the black piece, and he simply dropped a piece neatly.
Chu Wei insisted on Bai Zi to follow.
Gu Yuanbai does not hesitate when playing chess. He always takes one step and sees ten steps, and every time he places a piece, he is quick and ruthless. This makes him look very confident and confident, and such a neat and tidy way of playing chess will probably force his opponents into chaos.
The corners of Chu Wei's lips became more and more straight, and he hesitated longer and longer when playing chess. Just when he was uncertain, Kong Yilin suddenly said, "Here."
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a missing corner in the black piece held by Gu Yuanbai on the chess surface.
The slightly frowning brows stretched out, and Chu Wei said to Kong Yilin cautiously, "Thank you."
He held the round white chess with his fingertips and placed it lightly on the missing corner.
As soon as the chess piece fell, Gu Yuanbai laughed abruptly, and after a while, the corners of Kong Yilin's lips lifted slightly, but he couldn't help showing a little smile.
"Chu Qing, the second-ranking man is my military advisor," Sheng Shang held a black spot on his light-white fingertips and said with a smile, "This is called self-injury, and sheep are caught in the tiger's mouth."
As soon as the words fell, the chess in Sheng Shang's hand had already fallen, and the situation that was originally evenly divided instantly turned to Gu Yuanbai.
"...It turns out that the place just now was reserved for the minister on purpose by the sage," Chu Wei understood and sighed, "What the sage said is very true, Kong Bianxiu is the advisor of the sage, and I easily believed it. "
Kong Yilin said: "It's the saint who is very good at chess."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai looked up and saw the color of Kong Yilin's eyes. Mixed with the blood of Xixia, Kong Yilin's eyes are not from the Daheng Dynasty, but the color of his pupils is good, light as brown, although it is a little lighter than ordinary people, but at least it will not cause others to be surprised.
Not to mention, Gu Yuanbai saw from the chess face alone that Kong Yilin's temperament was not suitable for both officialdom and battlefield.
But Kong Yilin's real talent can't be left alone... Gu Yuanbai suddenly remembered the Supervision Office.
Compared with Chu Weilai, Kong Yilin is really too suitable for the Supervision Department, and the Supervision Department is originally a secret supervision agency that walks on the edge of the blade.
It's just that Kong Yilin's loyalty and his attitude towards the Daheng Dynasty are still up for debate.
Gu Yuanbai put down his chess pieces and got up. Chu Wei and Kong Yilin were waiting behind him. After sending the sage out, the two of them stood not far away and looked at the sage's back.
The saint got into the carriage, the curtain was about to fall, and Kong Yilin suddenly moved. He lifted his robe and strode toward the carriage of the saint. The guard stretched out his sword to stop him not far away. Kong Yilin said loudly, "Sacred! The minister has something to play!"
Gu Yuanbai frowned, lifted the curtain and said, "Let him come over."
Kong Yilin strode over, breathing heavily, blocking layers of shadows in front of Gu Yuanbai like a mountain.
He was so excited that he even dared to raise his eyes. Such excitement made the usual low-key and calm completely rolled aside: "Holy..."
Kong Yilin looked nervous, his Adam's apple moved up and down. When Gu Yuanbai thought he would be so nervous that he couldn't speak, he said firmly: "Don't hide it from the sage, there is blood from Xixia people on my body."
Gu Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "I know."
Kong Yilin pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "Is the holy minister staying in the court?"
Gu Yuanbai asked angrily: "Don't I have the capacity of the Tang Dynasty?"
Tang Chang'an City was the largest international metropolis in the world at that time. It was open and tolerant. Many foreigners studied and became officials in the Tang Dynasty. There were more than 100 people who entered the Tang Dynasty as officials. .
Gu Yuanbai put Kong Yilin at the second place, in addition to fulfilling Chu Wei's good reputation of Sanyuan, he also considered a lot.
One is to block the mouths of some pedantic and conservative officials and scholars in the DPRK, and the other is that he does not know whether the reason for Kong Yilin's rebellion in the original book is because he was dismissed from the palace examination or is also mixed with hatred for Daheng, to scare Kong Yilin, and then Give him a hope, and this hope also leaves a step away from letting him know that he should work hard, and that he will step forward. The third is that Kong Yilin is of Xixia bloodline. In this case, the strategy is still sharp, but it is easy to become the target of public criticism.
Gu Yuanbai is naturally uncomfortable with a person who will rebel, but he is an emperor, even if Liu Bang is standing in front of him, Gu Yuanbai will not look at him high or low. In his eyes, even if the Daheng Dynasty does not It doesn't exist in history, but in front of Gu Yuanbai, the famous monarchs of the past were nothing but an equal.
Before everything happened, as long as he was in his dynasty, in the land of Daheng, he was his people.
So Gu Yuanbai overcame the knot in his heart and named Kong Yilin second.
Press it, you need to press it.
When Kong Yilin heard Gu Yuanbai's words, there was an unspeakable sourness in his chest, and he said solemnly: "Sir, this minister went to Xixia two years ago, and in the border area of Xixia, A strange flower was found."
Gu Yuanbai's left eye jumped, "What flower?"
"White cotton," Kong Yilin said in a low voice, "the people over there call this flower white cotton. When I passed there, the quilt that was covered with white cotton was much warmer and lighter than stuffed plants. more importantly… "
He paused and said, "This white cotton should be well cultivated. The white cotton occupies a large area in the frontier of the minister's path. It seems that one mu can achieve a lot of output."
Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, how come I met all the good things.
He laughed and patted Kong Yilin's shoulder happily, laughed a few times, and said with great relief, "Kong Qing, if that's the case, what's the point?"
Before there was no cotton, the rich had different ways to keep warm, while the poor could only stuff their clothes with catkins, reeds and dead grass, and wrap them with silk and linen. Cotton was cultivated in the Song Dynasty, but it was not widely promoted. It was not until the mud-legged emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne that he was poor and knew what it was like to be cold, so he vigorously promoted cotton cultivation and solved the cold problem of the common people.
Today, this white cotton is the cotton of that time
Kong Yilin didn't expect that the sage would believe what he said so easily, and he couldn't react in time.
Gu Yuanbai nodded and said with a loud laugh: "If what Kong Qing said is true, this white cotton can solve the cold problem of the world, I will give strong support, and I will also remember Kong Qing's credit. If there is such a day, Kong Qing, you have saved many lives."
Kong Yilin's robe-tied hand trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "This minister should not accept what the sage said."
"I said you deserve it," Gu Yuanbai said without rebuttal, "Why does Kong Qing have to be so humble?"
Kong Yilin was silent for a long time, then took a step back, kicked up his robe and knelt down, and made a big gift towards Gu Yuanbai.
This ceremony is a gift for the spine that has been crushed after being bullied, and it is a gift to the Holy One.
Kong Yilin was forced to leave Daheng and go to Xixia. But Xixia people didn't recognize him either. He had no relatives in Xixia, and he was not used to the language and culture of Xixia. When he saw this white cotton at the border, he realized that this was an opportunity.
So he came to take the exam, and if he passed the exam, then he wanted to offer something like this to the emperor of Daheng. If he doesn't pass the exam, then it's not what people want.
He is talented, he really got admitted, he is still the first and second, an excellent position.
Kong Yilin should have been satisfied, but the Sage being so enlightened made him even more greedy.
The seeds of white cotton are the means by which the Sage can remember him, and the ladder for him to ascend.
But the emperor was many times better, many times more enlightened than he thought.
Therefore, Kong Yilin's ceremony was also mixed with feelings of guilt.
After instructing Kong Yilin to bring the cotton over the next day, Gu Yuanbai returned to the palace. In the bedroom, he seemed to remember something after he finished his meal, "Xue Yuan hasn't come back yet?"
Tian Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the little eunuch beside him.
A palace maid stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Xue Guard came back before you came back, but he was messed up all over, lest he would be taken away by a little father-in-law to sort it out."
Gu Yuanbai laughed out loud, "A son of a great general, a good guard in front of the royal family, but now, he has done all the dirty work."
Isn't it
Tian Fusheng wiped off the sweat from the top of his head, thinking to himself how this Young Master Xue provokes the saint, and he has not had a good life every day.
Just as he was talking, Xue Yuan came over. There was a lot of humidity around him, and his black hair was dripping with drops of water on his back. If Gu Yuanbai put it down and sent it, it would soften his face, but Xue Yuan seemed to be even more compelling.
Jian eyebrows tucked into his temples, and he looked terrifying when he didn't smile. When Xue Yuan entered the hall, he saw Gu Yuanbai, and the corners of his lips curled into a perfunctory smile, revealing a false smile.
Very fake.
Sure enough, he was angry because of dirty work
Xue Yuan walked up to Gu Yuanbai and saluted, then looked around in the hall and said, "Sir, where was the Xiuzhuan yesterday?"
Last night, when he saw that the champion was holding the little emperor's waist and the little emperor was smiling at him, Xue Yuan really sneered. If he touches Gu Yuanbai's feet, he will be kicked into the water, and if he touches Gu Yuanbai's hands, he will have to sneak. What kind of fart champion, with his hands on the emperor's waist, Gu Yuanbai still laughing at him
But Xue Yuan calmed down after a while.
Because the little emperor does not like to be too close to others.
After thinking about it, the champion just raised his hand behind the little emperor, pretending that he had met the emperor.
After he figured it out, Xue Yuan said, very good.
Obviously, this champion is doing it on purpose to show him, and is deliberately provoking him. Although I don't know what this champion's move means, it successfully angered Xue Yuan.
Those who provoked Xue Yuan, except the little emperor, all died.
Forget the little emperor, the lord of the world, with a lion hidden inside, he finds it interesting.
But what is this Chu Wei
Gu Yuanbai didn't smile at him a few times, but he smiled so nicely at this thing
Fuck the motherfucker.
Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai suddenly smiled, gave Xue Yuan a meaningful look, and said lightly, "Chu Xiuzhuan is naturally in the Hanlin Academy."
It turns out that Xue Yuan has paid attention to Chu Wei since this time.
Gu Yuanbai should have witnessed with his own eyes how they engaged in socialist brotherhood, and witnessed with his own eyes that they fell into the pit of no children.
He can also push the tide and let the two of them fall in love with each other as soon as possible.
Now that he finally saw the signs, Gu Yuanbai was in a good mood. He asked Tian Fusheng to bring two good inkstones and handed them to Xue Yuan, saying: "Send these two inkstones to Chu Xiu in the Hanlin Academy. Zhuan and Kong Bianxiu are said to be rewarded by them for playing a good game of chess."
Brother, I created a chance for you, then it's up to you!
Come on, talk to Chu Wei about the socialist fraternity, don't shake it in front of my eyes, I will be annoyed when I see you.
Xue Yuan, who was holding the inkstone, squinted, and after listening to Gu Yuanbai's words, he grinned coldly: "This minister follows the order."
Inkstones can smash people to death.
