Chapter 388: "Exiled" To the Western Regions, a Horseman in the Army
Of course Yu Siqian is not someone who is just trying to gain fame, nor is he a mediocre person or a coward.
Just ask, that mediocre and coward had the courage to write this shocking policy theory at the first Enke test of the Tang Dynasty at the site of the first Enke test in the Tang Dynasty under the guidance of feudal etiquette, even at the risk of being executed by the Nine Tribes.
However, at this time, Yu Siqian was only a poor scholar in his thirties. Even though he had a lot of knowledge in his heart, his life experience and experience were still lacking.
What's more, he is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, facing the current Holy Emperor as a death row prisoner.
Under the power of God, it is human nature to be timid.
However, Yu Siqian, who had been stubborn since childhood, quickly adjusted. Under the stern scolding of Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian, he once again raised his unyielding head and faced the gaze of the current emperor with a bit of stubbornness and a bit of determination;
Then, he replied word for word: "Reporting to the Emperor, Yu Siqian cares about the world. He is by no means a person seeking fame and reputation, nor is he a mediocre or coward who only knows how to talk;"
"If the emperor can listen to the advice of the grassroots and carefully consider the peace policy prepared by the grassroots, let alone a glass of poisonous wine, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, the grassroots will still have no hesitation!"
Um!
Chen Huaian nodded and said: "Yu Siqian, I will consider this matter carefully!"
"Here, drink this glass of wine!"
This time, Yu Siqian naturally did not refuse.
I saw him taking the royal wine from the emperor's hands with both hands respectfully. Naturally, he would not clink glasses with the emperor stupidly, but directly raised his neck and drank a glass of strong wine in one gulp.
Seeing this, Chen Huaian finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he drank from the glass.
Next, the two drank two more drinks in a row.
Later, I don’t know if Yu Siqian was drunk, or if he just wanted to get drunk and relieve his worries, he actually snatched the wine jar directly from the hands of the Jinwu Guards;
Then, he raised it directly to his mouth, and poured it down as if no one else was around, until he drank up all the jar of wine. Then he opened the wine compartment with unfulfilled satisfaction, and said with a satisfied smile: "Your Majesty, this royal wine is really good. It’s good wine——”
belch--
Before he finished speaking, there was another long wine gap.
Then, he fell down in the thatched cell and fell asleep.
I don’t know whether I was really drunk or fake.
"Your Majesty, this..."
This scene actually made Wei Guogong Chang Yuchun, who was waiting at the side, seem a little at a loss, so he had to turn his attention to Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian beside him.
Ha ha!
Chen Huaian still held an empty wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile that was still full of meaning: "Young people are in good health, so just fall asleep!"
With that said, he handed the wine glass in his hand to Xiao Po, the Marquis of Zhongyi, and ordered: "Xiao Po, take this drunk guy back to the imperial study and settle him down."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Po immediately accepted the order.
At this time, Chen Huaian pointed at Chang Yuchun, the Duke of Wei, and said: "Gong Wei, seeing how you look like this, I have no intention of resting tonight;"
"Forget it, come with me and go back to the palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wei Guogong Chang Yuchun let out a long breath, and his hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.
At the same time, he was glad that he had come to the right place tonight to change into court clothes and go to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Emperor Zhaowu, Chen Huaian, was escorted by Wei Guogong Chang Yu and a group of Jinwu guards escorting him, and was preparing to drive back to the palace with the drunken Yu Siqian.
Chen Huaian suddenly stopped in front of the cell where Su Chen, the former governor of Liangjiang, was imprisoned.
Then, he told Duke Wei Chang Yuchun beside him: "Gong Wei, the tea-horse smuggling case involving Su Chen, the governor of the two rivers, should be sent back to the Ministry of Punishment for retrial;"
"If I remember correctly, the report from the Ministry of Punishment is that all nine tribesmen of Su Chen have been arrested and imprisoned. The Ministry of Punishment is asked to retry the case based on factual evidence. For the relevant personnel of the nine tribes who are not involved in the tea horse smuggling case, they should be released. Just let it go!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chang Yuchun nodded again and accepted the order.
After giving all these instructions, Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian walked directly through the corridor of the Penal Department Prison and walked outside without looking back.
In my ears, the cry of thanks from Su Chen, the sinner, echoed for a long time: "Su Chen, the sinner, thanks the emperor——"
"The guilty minister Su Chen, on behalf of the innocent women and children of the Nine Tribes, would like to thank the Emperor——"
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
...
It's night, in the imperial study.
Emperor Zhaowu, Chen Huaian, and Wei Guogong, Chang Yuchun, talked all night long. In the study, there was a drunkard named Yu Siqian, who was sleeping soundly.
Chen Huaian also expressed his attitude to Wei Guogong Chang Yuchun. Yu Siqian, who had been tried by the Ministry of Punishment, Taichang Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was preparing to be punished for "treason", would be his appointed chief. For the first time in the Tang Dynasty, Enke became the first scholar in literature.
Yu Siqian's policy of pacifying the border will also allow officials from the six departments of the imperial court to systematically study and improve it, and ultimately form the new diplomatic policy of the Tang Dynasty, which is in line with the new policy he is implementing in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. .
Of course, Yu Siqian also lacked experience and experience, especially the lack of experience in the army and on the front line of the battlefield.
At this time, Yu Siqian still could not understand that without the support of a strong army and force, any idea of a great national integration would be nothing more than a castle in the air without a foundation;
Any truth only exists within the range of the red cannon and the sword of the Tang cavalry.
Therefore, even Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian admired his courage to dare to be the first in the world and his courage to die generously to promote national integration;
However, it was not yet time for him, the new top scholar appointed by the emperor, to announce his achievements to the world.
Chen Huaian has told Chang Yuchun that after Siqian sobered up, he directly asked the Ministry of War to send people to the Western Regions to participate in the construction of the Great Wall outside the region and to experience the Western Regions where there were many foreign races;
As for his identity, let him become the groom of Zhao Zilong, the chief of the Royal Forest Army who stayed in the Western Regions, and let him go to the front line to practice for half a year.
Chen Huaian also criticized the large gap between the number of students admitted from the north and the south in this encore - he put Wei Guogong Chang Yuchun in charge, and the Ministry of Rites took the lead to specially prepare for the students who were stranded in the north of the capital because they missed the examination time. People from all over the country were recruited and a new examination was organized.
In addition, the original quota of 200 tribute scholars in the joint examination was increased to 300, and the 100 vacant quotas were reserved exclusively for northern students who took the make-up examination.
Furthermore, Chang Yuchun was ordered to issue an order in his capacity as acting prime minister to govern the country, so that civil and military officials of second rank and above from various places should go to Beijing to report on their duties before the Lunar New Year's Eve, so that Emperor Zhaowu Chen Huaian could arrange the work for the coming year.
Finally, Chen Huaian also affirmed Chang Yuchun's performance when he served as prime minister in governing the country.
After explaining these things, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the east.
Chen Huaian yawned, stretched and said: "Wei Guogong, these are the things I want to tell you. You have to continue to handle political affairs, big and small, on my behalf for a period of time;"
"After months of fighting, coupled with the fatigue of traveling and traveling along the way, I am extremely exhausted. I need to rest and recuperate to regain my strength!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Seeing the exhaustion on the emperor's heroic face, Wei Guogong Chang Yuchun, who had written his resignation overnight and hoped to resign as acting prime minister to govern the country, finally couldn't bear to submit his resignation at this time.
After several months of continuous battles and a major defeat of the 800,000-strong Arab Empire's army in the Eastern Expedition, the emperor was indeed exhausted to the extreme.
It's time, it's time for the emperor to rest and spend some time with the queen, the concubine and the two newly born little princes!
After Chang Yuchun said goodbye, Chen Huaian dragged his tired body out of the imperial study and headed to Kunning Palace.
When he arrived, Queen Liu Shujun and the young prince were sleeping soundly on the phoenix couch.
Chen Huaian did not wake up his sleeping wife and children, but tiptoed to the side of the phoenix couch, and then gently lay down beside his wife and children;
Thinking about what names to give to the two sons, he soon fell into a sweet sleep.
This time, he slept soundly and sweetly.
