Eight hundred and thirtieth eight chapters run counter to ten
Qian Mingdu explained: "Mao Anfu's affairs were originally decided, but some people were not satisfied with the result of this treatment, so they have been delayed until now."
Zhao Xun frowned and said, "The person you are talking about is Li Xun?"
Qian Mingdu smiled: "Although Li Xun is the prime minister, he still can't control the affairs of my Ministry of Justice."
Zhao asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Qian Mingdu said softly: "Emperor, the Wing King has been killed. No matter how great the influence it has, it will dissipate with the death of people. The forces and families that once belonged to the Wing King actually only value the Wing King's future. If you want to get benefits from him, will the Wing King give more benefits than the Emperor? The Emperor suppresses them, and does it take time and effort, but he can't get anything. Why not win over them and use them for your own purposes?"
Lu Bojiang also spoke softly at this time: "Emperor, what Mr. Qian said is reasonable. Mao Anfu, a man from a poor family, is brave in fighting, and is very popular with the soldiers in the army. He is a rare general. Moreover, he does not have much entanglement with the aristocratic families, and his relationship with the Wing King is not deep. It is better to exert kindness and take it for himself than to kill him. This is very good for the emperor and the country."
Lu Bojiang did not help Qian Mingdu, but he just felt that what Qian Mingdu said did make some sense. It is easy to kill someone, but it is not easy to use someone well.
After hearing this, Zhao Xun pondered silently.
Although the aristocratic families are hostile to each other, they often become very united in the face of the attack on imperial power. After the failure of the Wing King coup, Zhao Xun has been trying hard to find the opportunity and strength to take action, uprooting the foundation of Hedong, a power that originally belonged to the Wing King, but the effect is not good? It often affects the whole body with one move? Zhao Xun just had the idea and plan to take action? Many aristocratic families immediately reacted and acted together, forcing Zhao Xun to fail to take action and did not dare to take action.
After much trouble, the entire Hedong force related to the Wing King, Mao Anfu, was pushed out as a scapegoat.
Now that he has listened to the suggestions and persuasions of Qian Mingdu and Lu Bojiang, Zhao Xun feels that what they said makes sense. Since they can't suppress it, why not win over and use it for their own purposes?
After pondering for a while, Zhao Xun nodded: "Since Mao Anfu entered Beijing, has he been imprisoned immediately? He doesn't even have a chance to speak and defend himself? This is also my fault. Let him submit a memorial? Let him listen to what he said first and make plans."
Qian Mingdu bowed and said, "The emperor is wise."
Mao Anfu's affairs turned around. Since Zhao Xun said that, he gave Mao Anfu the opportunity to submit a memorial. This is to see Mao Anfu's attitude. As long as Mao Anfu is not a fool, he knows what to do.
Zhao Xun rubbed his temples and said tiredly: "What else is there?"
Today's court meeting lasted for more than two hours. After the end, Qian Mingdu and Lu Bojiang reported something to him again. Until now, Zhao Xun has not even eaten food, so he is indeed a little tired.
When Lu Bojiang saw Zhao Xun's appearance, he couldn't bear it and said softly: "Your Majesty should take care of the dragon body. If you have any questions, you can discuss it tomorrow."
Zhao Xun waved his hand and smiled and said, "It's okay, if the matter is at hand, I won't be able to rest. Let me tell you, what else is there?"
Lu Bojiang nodded, took out a memorial from his arms, and put it in front of Zhao Xun: "Emperor, the Liao envoy Parza wrote a letter and urged us to give a reply as soon as possible."
Zhao Xun frowned and said unhappy: "How can we have a joke in marriage between the two countries? I replied to Parza and told him that I have already made it clear about the relevant ministers and let them choose as soon as possible, so that they can wait with peace of mind."
In the years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there have been many marriages with foreign countries. Some have been forced, while others have been through encirclement and communication. However, they usually choose from the daughters of many princes to give the title of princess, and then marry foreign countries. When the real emperors give birth to princesses, they rarely marry outside. However, in recent dynasties, as the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty has declined, in order to stabilize the relationship between the extra country, they will marry one after another as a show of sincerity.
For example, Princess Yicheng, the daughter of Pingzong, married far away from Monan, and Zhao Zhi's daughter married to Tubo. These are all real emperor daughters.
But whether it is a real princess or a fake princess, most of them have very miserable fates when they get married in a foreign country, and very few of them can end up in a good life.
Qian Mingdu said softly: "Emperor, there is already a candidate for the Liao Dynasty."
Zhao Xun was slightly stunned: "Who do they like?"
"Princess Zhao Yue."
Qian Mingdu said Zhao Yue's name and then secretly watched Zhao Xun's expression.
Sure enough, when Zhao Xun heard that the Hu people had chosen Zhao Yue, his expression suddenly became gloomy and he said coldly: "There are many princesses, let them change one."
Qian Mingdu said: "Your Majesty, the Hu people have a very firm attitude. They will ask Princess Zhao Yue to name the name, and only give us three days. If it expires, they will return to their country on their own, indicating that our Grand Jin refuses to marry."
Zhao Xun frowned and said, "I'm very surprised. Why do the Hu people just want Zhao Yue?"
Lu Bojiang whispered: "Emperor, although Princess Yue has unclear eyes, she has a beautiful appearance and excellent piano skills. A few years ago, she played a song of Chunming in front of the emperor, but her skills were amazing and praised by the emperor and many ministers. The Hu people may have heard of these deeds, so they insisted on proposing Princess Zhao Yue."
Zhao Xun nodded, and the reason Lu Bojiang said made sense.
Qian Mingdu said: "Emperor, now that the Momeng grassland is unified and the Hu people are founded, the strength is stronger than before. His ambitions for our Great Jin Dynasty are probably stronger. It is an unwise move to have a quarrel with the Hu people for a irrelevant princess. Please think twice."
Zhao Xun remained silent. After a long time, he said: "Since they have a crush on Zhao Yue, let the Ministry of Rites prepare for related matters."
Although Zhao Xun has his own dark thoughts, if it involves national affairs, Zhao Xun is still more rational and can distinguish the importance of the matters and will not put the country in danger for a woman.
After completing his official duties, Li Xun returned home from the Ministry of War.
After getting off the carriage, he saw a man wearing a man in a man's clothes standing at the door. His back gave him a familiar smell.
Hearing the movement, the Hu man turned around.
"Li Xun, I've been waiting for you for a while."
"Hatu?"
