my wife is mulan

"How big is the red envelope?" The youngest son asked seriously.

"You'll know then!"

The younger son curled his lips: "Stingy!"

Hua Mulan listened to the conversation between the father and son with great interest.

When I arrived at the gazebo by the lake, it was much cooler here. There was a cool wind coming out of the lake, and I felt completely refreshed.

"There is nothing happier than a family sitting by the lake and enjoying the cool breeze when it is extremely hot in June!" Zhao Junsheng said with admiration.

Hua Mulan patted Zhao Junsheng, and joked: "You have so much emotion, why don't you write poetry! I think if you become a poet, you will have greater achievements and a better future than being an emperor!"

Zhao Junsheng interfaced: "Did you just know today that I am a poet who was delayed by being an emperor?"

"You are poor!"

The two frolicked for a while, and an eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Cui Hao is begging to see you!"

"Xuan!"

Cui Hao quickly came over to pay a visit: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Let's get back together!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, "What's the matter with Aiqing coming to see me today?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Juqu Tianzhou has been escorted to the capital and imprisoned in the prison. Please make a ruling on how to deal with it! In addition, the Wei family sent someone to send the battle report!"

Zhao Junsheng told the eunuch next to him: "Give me a seat!"

The eunuch moved a stool, Cui Hao thanked him and sat on half of it.

"Come here, bring Cui Qing a bowl of iced sour plum soup to relieve the heat! Cui Qing, speak slowly!"

"Yes!" Cui Hao took the sour plum soup and drank it in one gulp. No matter how the sour plum soup tasted, he had to finish it in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, the Wei family sent someone to send a battle report saying that after he broke through Jiuquan, Juqu Wuji felt great pressure, so he sent his cousin Juqu Yide to lead an army of [-] troops across the desert to attack Shanshan to find a way out. The king of Shanshan Bilong was afraid and wanted to run away. Wei Juan sent envoys to persuade him in time, so Bilong stayed and stood firm! Juquyi couldn't attack for a long time, so he retreated to the east city!"

"Later, Juqu Wuji heard that Juqu Yide's attack was blocked, so he abandoned Dunhuang City and led all his troops westward to join Juqu Yide. When Bilong heard that Juqu Wuyu led an army to attack, he was frightened and ignored me. Envoy Fang’s persuasion led him to flee to Qiemo with the princes and ministers and concubine Gong’e, Bilong’s eldest son surrendered, Juqu Wuji and Juqu Yide took the opportunity to occupy Shanshan!”

"At present, our army has stationed in Dunhuang, stationed at the Great Wall, Yumen Pass, and Yang Pass in the west and north. The captain said that more than half of Juquwuwu's soldiers and horses died of hunger and thirst on the way westward to the desert of the Western Regions. Our army lacks I have experience in desert warfare, and I am not familiar with the desert terrain, weather changes, and wind and sand flow in the west of Dunhuang, so please temporarily stop attacking and dispatch troops after finding out the situation!"

After hearing what Cui Hao said, Zhao Junsheng punched the stone table with his fist, "This Juqu Wuji is so tenacious. He has reached the end of his life, but he can think of going west to the desert to seek life. We must find a way to destroy him. We can't let him die." He has been entrenched in the deserts of the Western Regions for a long time and poses a threat to the Silk Road!"

"As for Wei Juan's request to suspend the attack, I agree!"

Cui Hao took out the memorial and handed it over, saying: "Wei's family has also reported the roster of meritorious generals, please Your Majesty to approve!"

Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and said without reading it: "I'll take a look first before making instructions, you should go back first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Cui Hao left, Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and told the eunuch: "Go declare Lu Xuanbo!"

Not long after, Lu Xuanbo came over: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng handed over the memorial brought by Cui Hao and said: "You find someone to find out how many of them are related to Cui Hao!"

"According to the order!"

Hua Mulan waited for Lu Xuanbo to go far away, and asked Zhao Junsheng: "You suspect that Cui Hao is nepotism? This is impossible, this request for merit was reported by the family members. Does he dare to collude with the ministers of the court?"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "It's a bit of a misnomer to say that cronyism is the right word. In the past six months, many ministers have impeached Cui Hao for the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain. After the imperial court launched the imperial examination, its original intention was to reduce the number of officials in the examination and examination, and gradually replace the examination with the imperial examination. But in the past few years, there are still not a few people who have passed the examination and examination to become officials. These people first entered the government as officials through the examination and examination. Many of them followed Cui Hao’s path! I didn’t care at first, but more and more people impeached him, and this matter has to be taken seriously. If he was really framed, it’s okay for people to investigate Well, just to prove his innocence!"

Hua Mulan was a little worried, "If it is found out that Cui Hao is really suspected of forming a clique, what are you going to do with it? You have led the army to fight in the north and south, and Cui Hao has made great contributions every time. If you deal with it too harshly, you will inevitably leave a reputation of being mean and ungrateful to the subjects of the world!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "You are wrong if you think so. Merits are merits, and mistakes are mistakes. How can they be confused? If merits and demerits can be offset, why do we need laws and military regulations? It's too early to say these things, even if there is a conclusion. I can't deal with him casually because he is suspected of being a party, after all, he is only suspected of this. In fact, forming a party itself is nothing, but it is different if it is forming a party for personal gain!"

Chapter 776

Only two days later, Lu Xuanbo reported to Zhao Junsheng with the results of the investigation.

After finishing the morning practice, Zhao Junsheng was having dinner with Hua Mulan and a few children. Lu Xuanbo's arrival surprised him: "Why are you here so early?"

"The minister is here to report the results of the investigation to His Majesty!"

"Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have eaten!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Alright then, tell me, what's the result of the investigation?"

Lu Xuanbo handed over the memorial and said: "After investigation by the minister, the people circled above have visited Cui Hao frequently, and almost all of these people came from aristocratic families, from Ji, Ding, Xiang, You, and Bingzhou. When they entered the army, they all followed the path of Cui Hao!"

It is said that Cui Hao is only a civil servant. How can Cui Hao help these people if they want to enter the army?Cui Hao has too much to help. He is the right servant of Shangshutai. According to the division of labor stipulated by Zhao Junsheng for the left and right servants of Shangshutai, the left servant is in charge of government affairs, and the right servant is in charge of military affairs.

Cui Hao is directly in charge of the Ministry of War, and has a great say in the promotion and transfer of officers below the general rank.

Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and looked at it, and saw the names of four people circled on it. He asked, "Are the military exploits of these people true?"

"I have sent someone to verify it, but due to time constraints, I haven't received the relevant reply yet!"

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a while, "Okay, you go down!"

After Lu Xuanbo left, Hua Mulan couldn't help but asked, "You don't suspect that Cui Hao falsely reported military exploits for these people, did you? He can't do it either, could it be possible that he can still greet Wei Juan and add the names of these people?"

Zhao Junsheng asked back: "Do you think Wei Juan will write the memorial himself? What if there is Cui Hao's person beside him, and this person has a great say in Wei Juan's army? To be a person who pretends to claim military exploits and falsely report military exploits It's not difficult, is it?"

Hua Mulan remembered what Zhao Junsheng said. Although Wei Juan was a famous general, he couldn't read at all. How could an illiterate person write the memorial himself?Even many generals and marshals who can read and write can't write every memorial in person, and most of them are done by staff or adjutant officials.

"Okay, I'm full!" Zhao Junsheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I still have something to do, let's go first!"

"Why don't you eat so little?"

Zhao Junsheng wiped his mouth, waved his hands and walked towards Qinzheng Hall, the eunuch on duty followed immediately with several young eunuchs and court ladies.

Zhao Jun gave birth to the inner palace, and he told the eunuch on duty as he walked: "Go and find me all the official documents on the promotion and transfer of officers and generals that Cui Hao has handled in recent years!"

"These memorials and official documents should have stubs that have been copied and recorded in the palace. I will take someone to find them myself!" The eunuch on duty agreed, and immediately left with a few young eunuchs.

After Zhao Junsheng came to Qinzheng Hall to process the memorial for an hour, he got up and stretched his muscles and bones. At this time, the eunuch on duty walked into the hall with several small eunuchs and several baskets of scrolls.

"Your Majesty, here are all the records of the promotion and appointment of generals that Cui Hao has handled over the years since he became Minister You Servant!"

Zhao Junsheng put down his ink pen, got up, walked over, picked up a scroll and opened it to read. This is a list of promotions and appointments after the battle against Du Chao. There are twelve generals in total. The rank and designation to which he belonged, what contribution he made in a certain battle, and what military position he was promoted and appointed are all clearly recorded.

Although this is not the original memorial, it is no different from the original memorial, because it was transcribed after Zhao Junsheng’s imperial approval as a copy stub, the purpose is to be able to be documented in the future, as for the original memorial, it should be in the dossier of Shangshutai Warehouse storage.

No problem can be seen from the records in this file. The reasons for everyone's promotion are obvious, and they have enough military exploits and qualifications. See if their military achievements are false reports, or whether they are fake claims, but such an investigation process is time-consuming and laborious.
