Chapter 536

Thanks to Xifeng Qingyang for casting monthly votes.

In today's morning court, Liu Xun was like Emperor Wu possessed him, and he was very strict. All the matters discussed were decided by him. Several old ministers from three dynasties looked at the emperor sitting on the imperial throne and felt that Emperor Wu was back again, and they couldn't help but feel even more frightened.

The court finally dispersed! When Liu Xun announced that today's morning court had ended here, the court officials breathed a sigh of relief. He had poor self-control and immediately collapsed his tight shoulders.

Liu Xun said: "Cheng Qing followed me to Xuanshi Hall."

Cheng Mo quickly responded: "No". No matter what he thought, he had to play a good role with Liu Xun at this time, and there was still a tacit understanding between the two of them.

The ministers bowed and shouted: "Greatly send him to His Majesty."

I don’t know if it was Liu Xun who finally raised his head for a while or if it was the case, he felt that the tone of the ministers was much more respectful. He usually said this and said it was perfunctory, but now he has a little heartfelt meaning.

Zhang Mian clearly felt that the atmosphere was much brighter. Before Liu Xun left, the air in the hall pressed on his heart as if it was physical, making it difficult for him to breathe. As Liu Xun walked towards the gate of the hall, the solemn atmosphere that was so overwhelming that he could not breathe also disappeared.

Unexpectedly, this young man from the people had such a strong side. It seems that he would rather die than be a puppet. Zhang Mian didn't belong.

Cheng Mo followed the emperor's ceremonial guard and went to Xuanshi Hall.

The windows of Xuanshi Hall were wide open, the gauze curtain was rolled up, the screen was removed, and the wind was whispering through the hall, which made Cheng Mo, who was both cumbersome and heavy, feel much cooler.

"See Your Majesty." Cheng Mo saluted.

Liu Xungang sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "Brother is here, sit down." After Cheng Moxie finished sitting down, he sat down on the chair and said: "How am I doing today?"

He was like a newcomer who showed his acting skills, and he was very eager to be recognized by someone who trusted. Cheng Mo gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your Majesty has done a very good job, and he has suddenly suppressed those with strange ambitions."

Only by giving kindness and power and hardness and softness can those who are superiors surrender, and those who are the king are no exception. Liu Xun is a peaceful person by nature, and he has not taught him since childhood. He is like a sheep. It is good if he grows so big and does not grow crooked. How tough can he have to clear away the strange things? The court officials are like picking up light persimmons and pinching them, and do not take him seriously.

In the past, Cheng Mo had tactfully advised him, but he was worried that Huo Guang would be disgusted and dared not take any action. Now he has to raise his courage to do something and he has to hide it. Otherwise, why should Cheng Mo set up a test tuition? As long as Liu Xun is willing to wave his butcher knife, even if he kills one to warn him, Cheng Mo will plan for him.

Cheng Mo also used his spare time to read some historical books. After Zhu Chongba became the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he killed tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop. What are the empty seal cases and Lan Yu cases? Cheng Mo has read records, and he can learn from them at will. What is the difficulty?

But Liu Xun refused. He heard that he wanted to kill someone, and his face turned pale. He hesitated for a long time and said, "As long as they are willing to leave, there is no need to kill them."

If you have an official position, who will resign? You will go home to farm with clean hands? Since Cheng Mo became an official, he has only seen those who use exchanges for recommendation letters for exchanges, and has never seen anyone who is improper. Are there any such people? Yes, but it is rare. If the emperor refuses to go to the remote emperor, he will find out how many people he has opened the historical books and count them.

Otherwise, why did the aristocratic families react so strongly to the imperial examination system? There are only so many official positions, even if they are given a very small part to the poor family, the aristocratic families are unwilling to do so, and everything is for this chair.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to set up a test tutoring department and explain the rules of the game in advance so that those who were not on the same mind as Liu Xun left. Liu Xun did this step and was fulfilled. Unfortunately, the court officials could not understand his painstaking efforts.

Wu Jian was the first minister to be imprisoned since Liu Xun ascended the throne, and was also an important official who was one of the nine ministers. What happened this morning was enough to sound the alarm for those court officials who despise Liu Xun and thought they had followed Huo Guang and were unscrupulous.

Liu Xun was obviously very satisfied with his performance. He invited Cheng Mo to have a snack, picked up a piece of it, and then smiled and said, "I am really worried when I ask Yulinlang to take someone."

What are you worried about? Could Wu Jian resist arrest? He, an old man, could he be the rival of two young and strong young men who practice martial arts every day? If so, what else would Yulinwei do? Cheng Mo looked at him in confusion.

Liu Xun explained embarrassingly: "I don't know if Yu Linlang will obey the order."

He really thought so at that time, and now when he thinks about it, he feels incredible.

Cheng Mo immediately left his seat and apologized: "I deserve to die. I cannot protect Your Majesty Zhouquan, please resign from the position of Guard."

The Yulin Guard is the emperor's personal army, and only the emperor's orders are followed. But now the emperor actually says he is worried that the Yulin Guard will not be ordered. Wouldn't he say that he, the guard, has a strange intention?

Liu Xun waved his hand quickly and said, "I don't mean that, brother, get up quickly. I... I just never ordered them, I don't know if they are willing to obey the orders. I know that they have always been loyal, and it is me..."

It was hard for him to speak out. It was not that he did not believe in Cheng Mo or Yulinwei, but that he was very inferior. This inferiority came from his experience. When he was still in his infancy, his grandfather was forced to commit suicide and his whole family was imprisoned. He had been growing up among the people and suffered a lot. He even ate a hundred-family meals and had a full meal.

The fact that he dared not kill the minister who was disobedient to him was also due to this inferiority complex, but he himself did not realize it, and Cheng Mo did not expect it, thinking that he was just kind by nature.

Cheng Mo looked at him with a confused look on his face and said, "What is the reason for Your Majesty?"

Liu Xunqi Ai Ai said: "Should I let my elder brother take someone?"

It turned out that he thought he had to give orders, Cheng Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the master of the powerful team of Yulin Guards. Your Majesty can give orders directly, without passing through the ministers at all."

The emperor has the dignity of an emperor. Even if the two of them are good, Liu Xun is unwilling to analyze his heart. He doesn't want to mention this topic anymore.

"Tao Yunshan will leave Beijing tomorrow morning, and the food for disaster relief must be prepared today." He said, signaling Cheng Mo to sit down again.

Cheng Mo thanked him and sat on the chair, saying, "Wu Sinong promised me that he would raise the car according to the quantity, load it up tomorrow morning and set off with Tao Yunshan."

"He will see you tomorrow, and I will have a few words to ask him." Liu Xun sighed: "Since I ascended the throne, I have suffered a flood for the first time, but I am not careless."

When a minister leaves the capital, he must say his word. Before leaving, he will say to the emperor. If the emperor has something to ask, he will announce his way to the palace. If he has nothing to say and does not see him, he will leave the capital.

Seeing his true feelings and caring for the people, Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty, can you mobilize the gentry in Beijing to donate clothes and food, and then send someone to send him?"

“So very good.”
