The three-day banquet in Jinxiang Hall, singing and dancing to peace, and the king and his ministers celebrate together.
During the morning court, rewards were given to merits, from civil officials and military officials, left-behind Tokyo, to soldiers of various divisions, and naturally, the gold, silver, copper, coins and silk in the inner treasury of the imperial city were flowing out in a cart, and more than half of them were empty so far.
Guo Shao had a 100-day banquet and went to the queen and concubines in the evening, but no one left behind.
After enjoying the fun for several days, Guo Shao felt very tired, more tired than fighting on the front line.It's like the New Year holiday, and people are weak after the New Year.
The smell of feasting in Jinxiang Hall had not yet dissipated, and Guo Shao did not go to court and returned to the Yangde Hall, where he usually stayed.There are a bunch of important memorials and archives of matters that have been processed in the past year on the table.
Guo Shao has not taken care of domestic specific political affairs for a long time, and he feels a headache when he sees these things.
He decided not to look at it. When he turned around, he saw that the eunuch on duty was Cao Tai, so he said: Go to the Privy Council, call Wang Pu and talk to me.
Cao Tai hurriedly said: I will obey the order.
So Guo Shao sat on the couch behind a few cases waiting for the minister to meet.
There were no officials on duty in this place, and even the palace servants stood far away from the door, calming down around, and their impetuous mood seemed to gradually settle down.
After countless storms and waves calmed down, Guo Shao calmed down. In the chaos, there were two things he could not let go of... It was time to try to control the world!
Now no one can stop his will. He can make the world work in the way he thinks is right.
In addition, he must fulfill his promise to a person.It was not only a promise, but also something he was willing to do.
Fu Jinzhan is the most important person to Guo Shao in the deepest part of his heart.
Without the jindangs, Guo Shao would have been completely impossible to be what he is today.
Back then, she was already a noble family and a noble queen, and Guo Shao was nothing, but Jinzhan still placed everything on him... If Jinzhan wanted now, she should have anything.
If Guo Shao cannot let everything be shared with Jinzhan and cannot compensate her, I am afraid that even if Guo Shao becomes the captain, his heart will be empty.
At this moment, Wang Pu walked in. He looked down at the red silk that Guo Shao was playing with, and bowed and said: The old minister was ordered to meet him.
Guo Shao said: There is no need to be polite, please sit down.
Wang Pu walked over, looked at the pile of files placed on the table, sat down carefully, and said: Your Majesty, there are two things in the court.
oh?Guo Shao said.
Wang Pu said: The major event was that Qian Chu, the lord of Wuyue, submitted a report to the court not long ago, and wanted to come to Tokyo to pay tribute in person.The Political Affairs Hall has decided to approve Qian Chu's request, and when His Majesty has arrived outside Tokyo City, he sent the memorial to the East Hall of Jinxiang Hall.
Wu Yue Kingdom is about to surrender.Guo Shao was immediately surprised.
Wang Pu said calmly: I'm afraid this is indeed the case.The Wu and Yue Kingdom faced the sea, and all three sides were the Great Zhou land, isolated in the southeast; the general trend of unification of the world is no longer contrary to the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou will definitely take Wu and Yue.Now Your Majesty has regained the power of Youyun's sixteen states, and even the Liao Kingdom is not an opponent of the Great Zhou. How dare the Wu Yue Kingdom be enemies of the Great Zhou? If the war is stubborn, the country will suffer a lot.Qian Chu asked for surrender, but he had no choice but to do so.
Guo Shao said: Wu Yue Kingdom has always been the righteous Central Plains, with a humble attitude. When he attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, he fought side by side with the Great Zhou army, and made great contributions.Today, the king of the country is about avoiding the disaster of war and voluntarily giving up his ancestors' foundation. I will treat him well and protect his descendants from the beauty of his gentleman for five generations.
Wang Pu said: Your Majesty is wise and kind.
Wang Pu said again: There is another matter. Your Majesty previously issued an order to sail to the Southern Han Dynasty.I have ordered Li Xin to obtain it, and now Jiangning Port is imitating and improving sea ships.
Guo Shao was overjoyed after hearing this: Wang Envoy and Li Xin were very capable!Who is this Li Xin?
Wang Pudao: The former Privy Council of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty), the Eastern Han people tried to arrest our country's armored craftsmen and ordered Li Xin to be responsible for imitation.The Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and Li Xin was imprisoned for the crime and was released several months ago.
The two things Guo Shao heard today were good things, and he was in a very good mood. He said now: Hedong was originally a land of Jiuzhou, but now he has returned to the Central Plains, and his subjects are all guilty.Li Xin will be rewarded if he makes contributions.
Wang Pu immediately said: I made my own decision and promised Li Xin in advance. After the matter was completed, I asked for an order to give him a guest envoy... Now I am asking for an order for him. I wonder if it is appropriate?
Guo Shao smiled and said: How can I let the dignified Privy Councilor break his trust?A letter of appointment can be given immediately and someone can be sent to commend his merits.
After he said that, he turned over a bunch of files on the table. Where are the shipbuilding drawings?
I had a headache when I saw so many things, but Guo Shao had a strong interest in more advanced ships for a moment.
Wang Pu said: Li Xin only submitted a memorial, and there was no ship picture.It is said that the construction drawings are quite complicated, and I am afraid that the report will be unclear after a few words.
Guo Shao said: Ask Li Xin to send someone who understands it to the capital to meet the saint, I will talk to him.
Wang Pu said: Follow the order.
Guo Shao said generously: First build several sea ships and test them. If they are useful, the shipbuilding workshop can report to the Ministry of Revenue or the internal treasury. Please allocate money and grain. I fully support this matter.
Now the Northern Expedition is expensive and the inner treasury is becoming increasingly empty.But Guo Shao is very willing to be such technological progress, after all, his concept is very different from that of the ancients.
...Wang Pu returned to the Privy Council Office from Jinxiang Hall and immediately sent someone to the Ministry of Justice in the name of the imperial edict.He sent someone to ask Li Xin to meet him at the Privy Council.
When Li Xin came into Wang Pu's study at the attention of the officials of the Privy Council and met, Wang Pu straightforwardly took out the appointment letter and said: He said that you would be a guest and a submissive envoy, this is an appointment letter.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is still the most popular way to become an official, and it is difficult for people who have no way to become officials.However, Wang Pu fulfilled his official position in an understatement, and the official position of the Provincial Envoy is no less!
Li Xin hurriedly thanked him.
Wang Pu also said: Another day, officials should be sent to commend Li Envoy Li, and the officials will also reward him with some money.
Don't dare or dare.When Li Xin heard the name, he hurriedly answered.
Wang Pu is a smart person who is smart and exposed, and he uses real profit as a means to drive others, but one advantage is that he keeps his word and is free to be in charge of his words and will definitely not make excuses afterwards.
Li Xin was taken out of prison by Wang Pu, and soon realized what kind of person Wang Pu was, so he was still very concerned about his work... It's better that this is not so many twists and turns. Isn't it just to get promoted and make money to shine the ancestors? What's the point of saying so much?
At this moment, Wang Pu glanced at the door and gave a wink.
Li Xin bowed and looked at the door, but didn't understand what he meant. He walked to the door, thought for a while and wanted to cover the door. When he turned around, he nodded when he saw Wang Pu, so he quickly closed the door carefully.
When he walked back, he heard Wang Pu say in a deep voice: The official is very satisfied with the things you have done. Do it well and have a bright future.Li Envoy Li knew that the guest ministers of this dynasty were extraordinary. Zan Jurun was the guest ministers before, but now he was the cabinet assistant. He was summoned by the officials at any time. He would also be the prime minister in the future...
Li Xin glared and said: The officials dare not overestimate themselves. The officials are originally criminals, and it is a great honor to be able to obtain one or half of their positions...
Wang Pu sneered: It is nothing wrong to be named a marquis and a prime minister.
Li Xin pondered for a moment, what instructions did the King Envoy give?
Wang Pu said: When the next dynasty is in the future, you will submit a memorial in front of all civil and military officials, asking the officials to change the country and promote the country and the court.
After hearing this, Li Xin was shocked and his sleeves trembled.
Wang Pudao: After the Tang Dynasty, there were five dynasties in Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties, and the world split the territory and divided the territory, and the Khitan invaded and occupied the rivers and mountains.Now the emperor destroys all countries, and sets the world in one place, expels the Khitan, and restores orthodoxy. The great achievements are over the past and present, and it is necessary to revive the foundation for all generations.
Li Xin said in a trembling voice: Isn’t it that you recognize the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the Taizu? If you say that, you will not be destroyed by the nine clans?
Wang Pu said: Zhou Taizu was not the previous lineage. Although he was of the same clan, he actually had two families.Now the emperor has received the favor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was granted the title of Xu Kingdom. If it were not for such civil and military achievements, and would have made great contributions to future generations, the old ministers would not have supported this move.But today's career is a saint and is qualified to revive the Chinese throne.
Li Xin was so scared that his face turned pale because this was too serious!
Wang Pu Leng said: I am giving you a chance. Wealth and honor are in danger. Most people want to get involved, but there is no chance yet.
Yes, yes.Li Xin refused to comment.
Wang Pu asked: Are you afraid that I will treat you as a pawn and go forward to die?
Li Xin hurriedly said: I dare not, I have no intention of this!
Wang Pu's words are so ugly that he doesn't even have a little modification!
Wang Pu said calmly: You don’t have to have this idea.It was me who took you out of prison and recommended it to Queen Duanci, and asked for an official position for you. Today, I asked you to come to the study room and talked separately, and everyone in the Privy Council was watching.In the eyes of others, how different are you from my fellow disciples?If this big event is a fire pit, I will also involve you if I ask you to jump.
Yes, yes... Li Xin couldn't speak.
Wang Pu's speech was very sharp and direct: Li Envoy Jun is at ease, I am very accurate, if we don't go to it, there will be someone to go to it.I don’t go into battle personally because there must be a process for major events and cannot lose the rules. It is just right to write a letter with your official position... The face of the official family is also good-looking. People who don’t know think that Li Envoy and others are eager to seek official positions and are eager to gain a foothold in the court. They take risks, and are definitely not signing by the official family.
Li Xin's face looked particularly ugly. He was also a scholar. It was really uncomfortable to be said so unbearable. Fortunately, there was no one here. Wang Pu was also a Privy Councilor, so he was qualified to say a few words to despise him.
Anyway, even if he was promoted and made a fortune by Wang Pu, Li Xin didn’t have a good impression of Wang Pu!
Wang Pu said again: I’m anxious today. You can go back and prepare with peace of mind. While taking office in the guest province, you can think about this matter.
Li Xin hurriedly said: Thank you, the emperor, for your advice.
Wang Pu waved his hand.Li Xin immediately surrendered.
When he came out of the Privy Council, he left the imperial city again. He was a little dazed when he got on the carriage. He couldn't remember how he left the imperial city!
During the morning court, rewards were given to merits, from civil officials and military officials, left-behind Tokyo, to soldiers of various divisions, and naturally, the gold, silver, copper, coins and silk in the inner treasury of the imperial city were flowing out in a cart, and more than half of them were empty so far.
