On the winter solstice, it was a dawn night, and it was time to wipe it off, but the thick ink was still poured on the horizon until the end of the morning court, and the sky was not bright enough.
As soon as Jun Han returned to the court, the Prime Minister's good mood that had been free for half a year was gone. He was as if frost was blown away. Although he was walking fast, his upper body almost shrank into a ball. Facing the cold wind, his body, which had been standing up for nearly half a winter, was suddenly pulled away.
"Master Prime Minister."
In the palace alley, someone called him from behind. His cold voice was cut into Situ Jing's ears in the bitter cold wind. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would have known that he would have read the almanac before going out today. If this is not good, it would be great to take a sick leave.
The Prime Minister looked back and walked towards the wind and snow with Jun Han in the court uniform. His face was faintly smiling. His evil and immortal face made the Prime Minister feel cold in his heart.
"Marson." Situ Jing replied politely.
Then the two walked side by side, perhaps because they were infected by Jun Han's invasion of wind and snow, and the Prime Minister's body was also a little more energetic.
"Thank you for your kind words to the Dogzi in front of Mr. Zhang."
Jun Han's cold and warm thanks made the Prime Minister stand upside down.
"It's just a matter of raising hands." The Prime Minister smiled and politely, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart-
It would be nice if you didn't ask me for bad luck. How dare I expect you to always give me a reward...
"My Lord has been in the court for many years, and his control over the affairs of the court is far above me. Now that the rest of the world is safe, it is the key to stabilizing the situation. Your Majesty is still young. If you don't step up to fill the gaps, you will be afraid that others will take advantage of the loopholes."
For some reason, the words of the loyal minister were always strange when he said it from Jun Han, so that the prime minister, who had seen countless people, could not find out whether he was sincere or whether he had two skins on his lips and spoke without any effort. He put some good words out and pretended.
"Sir?" Jun Han softly broke his thoughts. Situ Jing came to his senses and said, "The matter of the stable court cannot be discussed in a few words..." He paused at the middle of his words, and Jun Han immediately took advantage of the situation: "It is true, so today, sir, let me go to the 'Wutong Festival' with me and discuss it carefully."
“…”
In fact, the Prime Minister just wanted to pretend to be hesitant and make a dilemma, and then said, "I will discuss it again when I choose the day to do it"...
"What do you think?" Jun Han smiled lightly, the Prime Minister glanced at him and cursed in his heart - Lao Lang!
"Let's follow the arrangements of the marshal."
Jun Han smiled uncontrollably, his eyes were deep and slightly lowered, and his court uniform was solemn but he couldn't get rid of his charm.
Jun Han had already figured out the tricks of Situ Jing, the old fox.
The two of them separated at the palace gate and made an appointment to sit in Wutong for a while.
——
As soon as the Prime Minister returned to the mansion, his face was deep and his thoughts were deep, thinking about what Jun Han had made about today.
After the morning court every day, Lu Yanzhi must wait in the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss with Situ Jing, but for some reason, the Prime Minister walked into the house as if he hadn't seen him.
Lu Yanzhi was puzzled at first, then turned his head and understood - this was when he encountered Jun Han.
The Prime Minister's joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness seemed normal in Lu Yanzhi's eyes, but they were all abnormal.
There are many normal factors, from the emperor to the ministers, even if you encounter a mouse on the street, you may cause emotional fluctuations in the Prime Minister.
Only Lu Yanzhi's expression that cannot tell the emotions is only one reason - Jun Han.
——
Jun Han had just returned to the general's mansion, and Yi Chen was about to go to Mr. Zhang's place.
The father and son met in front of the door, but Yi Chen still couldn't hide his joy, but he was no longer as frivolous as before. Instead, he respectfully and politely bowed to Jun Han at his door, saying, "I pay homage to my foster father."
"No gifts, don't be so reserved." Jun Han rubbed his head, "Go quickly."
"Yes." Yi Chen raised his face and smiled at Jun Han, with a small dimples embedded in his cheeks. He looked well-behaved and elf.
Zhang Zhongqing is really a famous scholar. After so many days of teaching, this frivolous little boy seemed to be completely reborn. The previous little beggar's market breath was gone, and replaced by the graceful elegance of the children of a true aristocratic family.
Although it has not reached such a deep level of complete revision, it has already brought up some of the prototypes of gentlemen in the future.
Jun Han saw the traces of wheels rolling in the snow for a while and then entered the yard.
——
The Prime Minister changed his court robes and invited Lu Yan into the study as usual.
But today, I did not discuss the court affairs as usual, but what I talked about was-
"Jun Han invited me to sit in Wutong, saying that he wanted to discuss plans to stabilize the court."
This incident also shocked Lu Yanzhi.
It is reasonable for the two ministers to discuss the court affairs, but for some reason, the invitation was sent by Jun Han, so the incident inexplicably had the meaning of "Hongmen Banquet".
"Sir, did you agree?"
The Prime Minister spread his hands and looked innocent, "Can I refuse?"
He wanted to refuse, but Jun Han didn't give him a chance!
Lu Yanzhi thought for a moment.
The Prime Minister leaned halfway, stared at the table, and said, "He asked me to go to Wutong in the morning - do you think this matter is safe?"
In fact, it is not necessary for Lu Yanzhi to say that the Prime Minister can understand this matter. As the most conspicuous building in the entire capital, Wutongqi is also located in the city center. No matter how cruel Jun Han is, he will not be able to ambush the swordsman in this highly anticipated building to assassinate the important officials of the dynasty, the Prime Minister.
Although it is impossible to be a matter of reasoning, Situ Jing still felt a lead block falling in his heart, which made him feel anxious.
"I think the marshal probably really wants to discuss with the adults."
After Lu Yanzhi said this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but feel relieved, as if he had just swallowed a powerful reassurance pill.
"How can I see it?"
"Actually, to this day, the marshal has never done anything to commit disobedience."
This sentence suddenly sounded a wake-up call for Situ Jing.
Indeed, although Jun Han naturally grew up a face that "hidden evil intentions", he actually had never done anything to chaotic states. Many of the speculations were just the prime minister's own imagination.
I just thought about it for a long time, but it has become natural for no reason.
The Prime Minister was stunned for a long time, his eyes gradually deepened, as if he gradually sinking into some dark thoughts.
"In a while, you and I will go to see the Marshal."
——
The Prime Minister has always been punctual, so he naturally has to step on the spot when he promised a date.
Situ Jing led Lu Yanzhi to the elegant residence on the top floor of Wutongqi at the moment of the time. Jun Han stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, looking down at the bustling scenery of the city in the wind and snow.
Jun Han waited here a moment in advance.
After each party gave a ceremony, they sat down in the house.
This house has the highest floor, and the sound of wind and windows is a little bleak.
Jun Han was still wearing a single dress, not afraid of the cold. The servant brought the brazier to Jun Han and signaled him to bring the fire closer to the two.
Sometimes Situ Jing admires Jun Han, admires him for rolling out of the dust of hell, but he can still maintain his pride and adapt quickly after entering the ministers and the country. Now he doesn't look like a ferocious wild wolf, and he is obviously not much different from royal relatives and nobles.
But it is precisely such a person the most terrifying.
Lu Yanzhi was not allowed to sit beside the Prime Minister, and listened to the two adults talking in silence.
"In the past two dynasties, wars in all directions have not stopped. Although the territory has become much wider, many civilians have had to abandon their pens and follow the sword because of the years of recruitment. Nowadays, there are more military generals than civil officials in the court. What do the Prime Minister think about this?"
The Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe that this was said from Jun Han.
Lu Yanzhi, who was beside him, was even more shocked and couldn't turn his mind.
He was worried about how to match the two adults to cooperate in governing the country as Mr. Zhang said. Unexpectedly, before his plan was thought out, Jun Han raised this matter first.
This made Lu Yanzhi's impression of Jun Han once again subverted.
What kind of soul is hidden under his lukewarm and unpredictable skin?
The Prime Minister was coming back to his senses, so he calmed down and answered the question: "Military generals settled the country, civil officials were safe, and I had the same idea as the Marshal."
Since Emperor Taizu stabilized the four directions and established Dali, he has been practicing the national policy of cultivating and resting, and it has continued until the late emperor began to conquer the battles everywhere.
The wars of these two dynasties also consumed a lot of national strength. They recruited soldiers for many years. Not only were there fewer scholars, but there were not even a few strong farming power. In this way, not only were the prices of urban areas close to the battlefield soaring, the grain production in the entire Dali area was reduced, the national treasury was weakened, but the tax on labor tax became heavier, and the people were suffering. As early as when Jun Han was fighting everywhere, there were several small-scale uprisings in the Central Plains. Although they were suppressed without any danger, the development process must be observed.
The late emperor's conquest for thirty-five years, plus Jun Han's more than ten years of war, almost exhausted the life that Dali had cultivated for hundreds of years, as if he had returned to the messy and decay at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Although the wars over the years have not been fought for expansion for no reason—
The invasion of the demon kingdom is a last resort.
"Although the Eastern Demon Kingdom has surrendered now, if the power of Dali Kingdom declines, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a comeback." Jun Han said in a Chen.
Demons and humans are originally two completely different tribes. Many moral rituals and laws of mortals do not apply to demons, and the natural meaning of demons is also unreasonable for mortals.
If the two are not unified, the integration situation will be difficult.
Now that the Prime Minister has accepted his fate.
What else can the demons do when they come in? He is a literati who carries his pen, but he doesn't have the ability to catch anyone who he is.
"No rules cannot be achieved. If you want to completely integrate the two tribes, you must set up a set of codes that integrate the two tribes. Regarding this set of demon-control, please come to Guanhaisi."
Jun Han smiled slightly, "Now, most of the military generals in Guanhaisi are. If they are asked to determine the law, they will inevitably be inadequate in their consideration. I wonder if the young master is better than to take this position?"
The Prime Minister suddenly seemed to have been grabbed by someone, and his expression was nervous. After a moment, he said modestly and cautiously: "The dog is not in charge of court affairs, and he is young and frivolous. I am afraid it is not safe to hand over such heavy responsibilities to him..."
"I have read the articles of Mr. Ling, and I have also seen him put forward some arguments about the political affairs of the court. It is very reasonable. At that time, he was underage and now he is in a weak position. I think he has his own opinions, right?"
“…”
He actually investigated someone else's son so clearly. I'm afraid this guy didn't have a premeditation!
Chapter completed!
