When recovering Jizhou, he needed Zhen Mi, a native of Jizhou, to preside over the education of Jizhou, to show that the imperial court has no prejudice against Jizhou, and to attract people who are willing to contribute to the imperial court.

Such as humble Cham, such as Xing Yong.

As far as these two people are concerned, Zhen Mi's deposit in Shangshi's Zhongshan Dongniu has played a positive role.

With the approval of the emperor, Zhen Mi felt relieved and reported some recent developments before leaving.

Watching Zhen Mi walk away, Ma Yunlu said softly: "Your Majesty, it's no wonder Mrs. Tang appreciates her. She is indeed a hero among women. She has the spirit of Jizhou people and the shrewdness of women."

"It's just shrewdness written on his face." Liu Xie said lightly, staring at the river water reflecting the weeping willows.

Ma Yunlu was very surprised, his wonderful eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty is saying... that her city is not enough?"

"It's not just about the city." Liu Xie looked away and said with a smile: "Although she was born in a merchant family, she has the status of a nobleman. She is smart, has outstanding appearance, is very capable, and has higher expectations for herself. It's too easy for her, but once she gets frustrated, she will look different, which makes you hard to believe."

Ma Yunlu blinked. "Like Yuan Benchu?"

Liu Xie thought for a moment, and felt that Ma Yunlu's metaphor was very appropriate.

To a certain extent, Zhen Mi is indeed a bit like Yuan Shao, who can only go with the wind and cannot fight against the wind.Their success comes too easily, and once they lose it, their mentality is the easiest to collapse.

Mrs. Tang has discerning eyes and sees Zhen Mi's strengths, but she doesn't see Zhen Mi's weaknesses.

She probably thought everyone was as tough as she was.

"She is really smooth." Ma Yunlu said with some envy: "But her ability is indeed outstanding. It only took a few months, and Jizhou Yinfang has done a good job, which is not inferior to Yuzhou Yinfang."

Liu Xie turned to look at Ma Yunlu. "Are you in a hurry?"

Ma Yunlu smiled slightly. "Your Majesty is wise, there are indeed some."

"It's absolutely unnecessary. Although the imperial army has no combat missions for the time being, the main thing is to lead the formation, but you can't be idle."

Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up immediately. "What should the minister do?"

"If I go west, you should follow, right?"

"If Your Majesty does not dislike it, I will definitely follow."

"I told Jiang Gan before that it would take about ten years, but now it seems that it may not take ten years. Before the Western Expedition, did you finish some things first? Otherwise, the thousands of miles of land and mountains won by the Western Expedition can only be handed over Giving someone else's child has nothing to do with your child, can you be willing?"

Ma Yunlu suddenly realized, and then his face turned red, he lowered his head, and said softly: "This...is not something that I...can do alone."

Liu Xie pondered and said: "Speaking of which, maybe it's time to ask the imperial physicians to diagnose and diagnose the pulse. At the beginning, Mr. Xun Gui accompanied him, and it took less than a year. Empress Fu accompanied him, and it didn't take long. After entering Chang'an, how many of you It’s really not normal for this one to have no movement for a long time.”

Ma Yunlu pouted. "That's not true. At the time when Mrs. Xun Gui was pregnant, he was favored by His Majesty. Later, Empress Fu accompanied her, and she was also given preferential treatment. The number of bedtimes was several times that of other people. Now Your Majesty is busy with government affairs every day, and we only wait for one or two months a month." How can it be so easy to conceive after sleeping in bed for the next time."

Liu Xie was taken aback. "is that so?"

He said it with his mouth, but he already believed it in his heart.During this period of time, he was indeed very busy, entangled in government affairs, and went to bed very late every day. He felt a bit like 996 in his previous life, and he really didn't care much about men and women.

Ma Yunlu pouted. "How dare you deceive the emperor. Your majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty, and the Shangshutai is still necessary. Even if your majesty is extremely energetic and able to handle so many government affairs, how will future generations bear it? Too much is too late, I'm afraid idle government is inevitable."

Chapter 894 Reluctance

"Shangshutai..." Liu Xie murmured, speechless for a while.

Shangshutai is one of the three, and there was nothing special about it, but it became sensitive after being used by Emperor Guangwu to seize the power of the outer court.

In order to show his sincerity in repaying the rights to the three princes, he deliberately neglected Shang Shutai, and he didn't even make any supplements after Shang Shuling left.Sanqi was also built to replace Shangshu. Today's Shangshutai has long lost its prestige and prestige, and is a completely small department.

Part of the secretarial role originally undertaken by Shang Shutai was shared by scattered cavalry, and the other part was directly assumed by him, the emperor.

Those who can be selected as loose riders are all elites, but they are all reserve cadres, future pillars, and cannot be used simply as secretaries.In order to equip them with both civil and military skills, martial arts training must take up a lot of time, which further affects other work.

As a result, the ministers were relieved, but he was tired like a dog, and even his physical desires were suppressed.

Ma Yunlu mentioned Shangshutai again, not necessarily because of high-level matters such as government affairs and power, but more directly because he feels sorry for him because he is too tired.

It should be said that this is a good way.

Even if Shangshutai is rebuilt, as long as he can control his hand and not stretch it too far, the conflict between the internal and external courts will not be exacerbated.

But just after the New Deal was rolled out, he rebuilt the Shangshutai, which inevitably led to the suspicion of going back on his word.

People can't stand without faith.As a reformer, let alone change overnight.

Liu Xie weighed it for a long time, and felt that he should persist for a while and not rush to rebuild Shangshutai.

The reason why he is so tired now is because of the promotion of farming, which was originally a matter for Situ and Da Si Nong, but because he was in Jizhou and forced farming, he asked more questions.

After the encirclement of Yecheng, all the counties have suitable guards and county magistrates, and Dutian is on the right track, he doesn't have so many things to worry about.

Seeing Liu Xie shaking his head, Ma Yunlu suggested again: "Come on Liu Ba, the chief minister. He should be in charge of saving the land. Besides, he did a good job in saving the land in Guanzhong. The common people I am very convinced."

Liu Xie felt that this method was feasible. Let Liu Ba be in charge of saving the fields, so that he could concentrate on military affairs, and he would not have to be so tired.

Dutian in Guanzhong has come to an end, and there is no need for Liu Ba to sit in charge in person.

"This method is feasible, and we will draft an imperial edict when we go back."

"Since this is the case, why don't you ask the queen to arrange for two female officials who can write and account. Although I am proficient in writing and ink, I can't handle documents, and I can't share your majesty's worries."

Liu Xie turned his head to look at Ma Yunlu and smiled slightly. "Who did you entrust to make such a suggestion?"

Ma Yunlu was a little embarrassed, and said in a contemptuous manner: "Your Majesty really needs someone to serve you. I grew up in the army, and my hands and feet are clumsy. I am really not good at these things. The female cavalry is careful, and Your Majesty is not willing to be casual, and only Your Majesty may accept the person arranged by the Queen."

Liu Xie smiled wryly, but didn't ask any more questions.

Ma Yunlu is straightforward, not the kind of thoughtful person.She couldn't say such words, she must be instructed by others, so she took the initiative to ask the queen to arrange someone to wait on her.

If nothing else, this person should be Yuan Quan.

Yuan Quan lived in Suiyang for a long time, and Qiao Rui of the Qiao family in Suiyang was Yuan Shu's old department.With the help of Ma Yunlu, pushing Qiao Rui's twin daughters to the throne is of great benefit to her, and it can also shorten the relationship with Queen Fushou, killing two birds with one stone, both public and private.

"Okay, it's up to you." Liu Xie reluctantly agreed.

The Qiao sisters will enter the palace sooner or later, so they should be regarded as the benefits of time travelers.

Since this face has to be given sooner or later, it is not bad to give it to Ma Yunlu.

-

Yecheng.

The red sun is scorching, and the sound of cicadas is making people upset.

Tian Feng was sitting on the mat under the porch, even with two boys fanning him, he was still so hot that his clothes were drenched and stuck to his body.He drank water one cup after another, but he still couldn't get rid of the burning anxiety in his heart.

Shenpei stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, his face was thin and his eyes were bloodshot.

The situation made him anxious.

After the emperor entered Wei County, he devoted himself to farming and had no intention of marching at all.But Xun You, Shi Sun Rui, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei are eyeing them like a tiger, and they may encircle Yecheng at any time.

The reason why they haven't come yet is that the weather is too hot, which is not conducive to fighting.Instead of living in tents in Yecheng and being on alert at all times, it is better to stay in the distance to rest and wait for the weather to cool before marching;

Although it was decided to focus on Yecheng from the very beginning, Hejian, Bohai, Changshan and other places did not leave troops, but some local powerful tribes fought against them, and the battle situation still exceeded their expectations.

The most surprising thing was that Sun Rui broke through the Jingxing Pass in only half a day.

Jingxingguan is not a county like Wei County and Hu County, and it is as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Yecheng.When the news reached Yecheng, the judges did not dare to announce it immediately, for fear of causing panic among the soldiers and a collapse in morale.

The fall of Hejian also caused a lot of trouble.

Zhang He's people were captured by Xun You and Xin Pi. Whether Zhang He would be shaken and whether he could still trust them became issues that must be considered in the trial and match.In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the commissioner has not held a large-scale military meeting recently, deliberately keeping calm.

But this is just a temporary measure, it is impossible for him not to meet with Zhang Xi all the time.When the weather turned cold and the imperial army approached the city, he had to face the question of Zhang Xi's availability.

Zhang Xi also had to make a choice between his family and his clan.

He came to Tian Feng today just to hear Tian Feng's opinion.

Tian Feng didn't want to talk.

Trials were disappointing.He has become a loner, and even Tian Feng is unwilling to help him with advice.The staunch and bravery of Jizhou people has become fragile in front of the imperial army, and the defeat is not even as good as facing Zhao Guo back then.

In the face of Tyranny, Zhao Guo still has the strength to fight.

"I'm leaving." The examiner shook his sleeves and sighed. "Before the imperial army has yet to besiege the city, if you want to leave, you should leave early."

Tian Feng asked back: "Where can I go?"

"You can go anywhere." The judge stepped down the steps. "With Jugong interceding for you, it will be no problem for you to save your life. If you are willing to bow your head and become a minister, with your intelligence, you may be able to find an official position in the court. Anyway, it is better than staying in a lonely city with me .”

As the judge said, he had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.He stopped and turned to look at Tian Feng. "I heard that the woman from the Zhen family presided over the establishment of the Jizhou Yinfang. In addition to printing documents, she also printed some enlightenment textbooks. You are full of money, no matter how poor you are, you can still be a school book."

Tian Feng was speechless, watching the figure of the examiner disappear outside the door, he let out a faint sigh.

"He's hopeless. But if I don't accompany him, who else will accompany him? Prepare the carriages and horses, I'm going out of town."

Chapter 895

The judge did not speak, and Tian Feng left the city smoothly.

The carriage drove across the moat, and the suspension bridge was raised again. Tian Feng opened the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the top of the city.

Behind the female wall at the head of the city, the judge's face was ashen.

The carriage traveled westward along the official road and arrived at Gao Lan's camp.

Knowing that Tian Feng was coming, Gao Lan was very surprised and came to greet him outside the camp in person.Looking at Tian Feng who was too thin to support his clothes, Gao Lan was really surprised.

"Is sir sick?"

Tian Feng pointed to his heart. "Heart disease."

Gao Lan rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, I'm not the one who's worried, right?"

"The disease is not with you, but the medicine is."

Gao Lan laughed, turned around and invited Tian Feng into the camp.He supported Tian Feng's arm and performed the disciple ceremony.Tian Feng didn't refuse either, holding Gao Lan's hand in one hand, and walking slowly with a stick in the other.

The soldiers on both sides looked at it, surprised, but also a little excited.

Although Gao Lan is one of the four courts in Hebei, he is a warrior after all, so he cannot be considered on the same level as Tian Feng, a famous Jizhou scholar.Now that Tian Feng took the initiative to visit and was so close to Gao Lan, it was really rare.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tian Feng walked into the big camp and came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Although the road was not far, he was still sweating from exhaustion.

Gao Lan invited him to a seat, arranged for people to serve wine and food, prepared cloth towels and water himself, and waited for Tian Feng to wipe his sweat.

"Bo Zhan, Bohai Sea has been defeated by Sun Ce, do you know that?"

Gao Lan nodded. "I know, my Gao family's land has been divided, and only one hundred mu of land is left for subsistence."

"So, the casualties of the tribe are not big?"

Gao Lan was a little embarrassed.Originally, according to Shenpei and Tian Feng's plan, his people should stick to it for a period of time to delay the speed of the imperial army.However, Sun Ce's march was too fast and the offensive was extremely fierce. Seeing that the situation was not good, his people surrendered almost immediately.

"Fortunately, there were not many casualties."

Tian Feng nodded. "That's great. Then tell me, once all the armies encircle Yecheng, how long can our army last?"

The smile on Gao Lan's face faded, and he thought for a moment. "Six months to a year."

"In that case, why don't you disarm and return to the fields?"

Gao Lan was silent.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this issue, but he has to consider whether he can keep his property and life after being disarmed and returned to the farm.

Zhang He's people were captured by Xin Pi.Simpi made it clear that if Zhang He could not keep the Ruying people in Yecheng, Zhang He's people would pay for their lives.

Sun Ce did not arrest his people, but if Simpi wants to take revenge on him in the future, will Sun Ce protect him?

I'm afraid it's impossible.

Ruying people are powerful, no one wants to conflict with them because of irrelevant people.

Not to mention Chen Deng who is bent on revenge.

Thinking of these, Gao Lan's mood is very complicated.It was Tian Feng who ordered them to wipe out Chen Deng's tribe at the beginning. Now he has no way out, so he can only ask Tian Feng for advice.

"Don't you want to?" Tian Feng asked.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Gao Lan sighed. "As a general, I will be shrouded in horse leather. Perhaps dying on the battlefield is what I deserve."

Tian Feng stroked his beard and laughed silently. "It is often said that the Guandong produces ministers and the Kanxi produces generals. In fact, although I, Jizhou, is called the Kanto, there are many generals. It is a pity that I, Jizhou, have always been tabooed by the imperial court. No one wants to be with me."

Gao Lan's heart became heavier and he sighed several times.

"Although Yuan Benchu ​​relied on my generals in Jizhou to fight, he refused to entrust him with all his heart. He repeatedly used famous scholars from the Central Plains to restrain him, and his success failed. Although the emperor was born in Jizhou, he refused to show any mercy to Jizhou. Du Tian is almost like an enemy."
