After almost half a month of hustle and bustle, the March New Year of Yuande finally came.
On this day, the three princes and nine kings, all gathered early under the Beique City Tower, and among the luxurious carriages, the big men in gorgeous clothes whispered.
"I heard that the stripping of the examination room is a foregone conclusion" Someone sighed: "The status of Shaofu is probably not as good as before" The examination room, a huge chain of interests, has maintained the authority of the Shaofu for decades.
Not to mention, today's coinage rights belong to the examination room.
The stripping of the examination room not only means the weakening of the authority of the Shaofu, but also the complete deprivation of the eastern princes' kingdoms and the right to mint money It is foreseeable that the local government will no longer be allowed to have the right to mint coinage.
However, there are also people who don't care.
"Shao Fuqing didn't worry about anything, why should we worry about this?"
Who doesn't know that these days, Shaofu Qing Liu She and Shaofu Liucheng don't say a word Therefore, someone who knew the inside story smiled and said: "Where does Shaofu still need to rely on the examination room now?"
"Now that Shaofu is in the house, I'm afraid I can't wait to strip off the examination room and the East Garden Order as soon as possible."
"I don't have any political achievements, and I have to burn money in it all day long, and if I make a slight mistake, I will lose my head" Sima An, one of the six masters of the Shaofu, even said to his retainers: "This examination room, it is useless to stay, it is better to go" That's right, it's not true It is said that it is correct because the examination office is involved in the production and manufacturing of military weapons and equipment.
If there was a slight problem, the Qiu Ba would directly sue the emperor.
And because of the system of material and work names, once this complaint is filed, everyone on the line will have to eat and hang.
Sima An himself had already been called to the Son of Heaven because of the quality of the weapons produced in the examination room, and he had been reprimanded several times.
And the people below him, the heads that have been lost in the past few years, can almost be built into a small mountain.
It's just that Although the examination office has a large relationship and a large investment, but Mastering the examination room is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of the Han armament.
Not to mention oil and water, just to establish friendships with military giants and have contacts, it is already worth it Not to mention, the institution of the examination room is so huge.
The personnel power of its own alone is a huge treasure trove.
If possible, Shaofu would not let go even if he died.
But there is no way, this is the established policy of the Son of Heaven.
Not only the examination room should be stripped off, but also the East Garden Order.
In the future, even the east and west weaving order yamen is estimated to be stripped off.
Coupled with the Shanglin Yuan, which has been divested, the future Shaofu will lose more than half of its authority and employees.
From a large and formidable bureaucracy, it was transformed into a yamen dedicated to serving the royal family while collecting taxes by the way.
This is the future of Shaofu.
The future has already been determined.
For Shaofu, instead of using his mantis arm as a car and going to fight with the Son of Heaven, it is better to concentrate and think carefully about how to keep the authority of the salt and iron cause and how to maintain the cooperative relationship with the Mo family.
And the matter of Shaofu is actually just a small matter.
The emperor's labor and management wanted to reform the Shaofu, and no one could stop him.
Because the Shaofu is actually the housekeeper yamen of the royal family, a bureaucracy that specializes in handling matters related to the royal family.
But on another matter, countless people are waiting to see a good show.
In the imperial history, Zhang Ji completely ignored the strange eyes of the people around him.
For Zhongcheng, the imperial historian of the Han Dynasty, it was his natural right to reject the emperor's edict.
There's no way to stop it.
The emperor had only two options: the first to accept and the second to persuade.
There is no third option.
Even, it's impossible to make a substitution.
Because the newly appointed Imperial Shi Zhongcheng is very likely to choose to veto the emperor's edict like his predecessor.
And it would be embarrassing if such a situation happened.
On the contrary, it was the elders of the special advancement, one by one, who gathered together, and discussed things with their eyebrows fluttering as if no one was around.
"Yulin is down, then he has already taken advantage of the victory to win the Dragon City" Gong Gao Hou Han Rongdang almost said loudly: "The meat to the mouth, there is no reason not to eat it" Han Yan had been to Dragon City, and there was no Han family minister who knew better than him how empty Dragon City's defense was.
The Huns were near Longcheng, and only 20,000 horsemen were killed.
The Han family sent 10,000 horsemen, which was enough to take Longcheng and dig out the coffins of Mao Dun and Lao Shang from the ground.
When the time comes, whether to crush the bones and scatter ashes or whip the corpse will follow the interests of the Han family.
And taking Longcheng will deal a heavy blow to the rule of the Xiongnu.
At the very least, it was enough to break the rule of the Xiongnu in Monan "I think that Juyanze should be taken" Qu Zhou Hou Liji has a different opinion: "Juyanze is the largest lake in the west of the river, rich in water and soil, according to the captive Xiongnu nobles, the local area is also very suitable for reclamation, the Huns often when they migrate, sprinkle some wheat seeds or corn on the land near Juyanze, and they can harvest it in the autumn, so that they can grow food, and my Chinese good cultivators will be able to take root in the land."

"What's more, if we control Juyanze, our army can go out to Hexi and threaten the fundamental place of Xiongnu rule."
The argument between the two also represents the current attitude of the Han military towards the next step of the Han family.
Conservatives like Han Rongdang just want to stabilize their territory first, and by the way, eat the Hun forces around them that can be eaten.
The radical faction headed by Li Ji believed that the war could not be delayed, and that it was necessary to take advantage of the victory to pursue and defeat and eliminate the main force of the Xiongnu as soon as possible.
In general, at the moment, conservatives have a slight upper hand.
Because, the Han army won a little too quickly in Mayi and Gaoque.
The Chinese, out of instinct, do not believe in too quick victory.
Driven by the thinking of small farmers, they subconsciously chose to stabilize the situation first and then see.
But the ideas of the radicals were supported by more middle- and lower-level officers.
The reward for the Battle of Gaoque has basically been determined.
In particular, the rewards for the middle and lower classes have now been issued and implemented.
Generals at all levels have suddenly developed because of the war.
There was a soldier who was a pawn before the war, because in the war, he cut off ten heads, including a Xiongnu bone marquis, so he became the chief of the left concubine, and the reward of money and livestock alone was enough for him and his family to become a family of military nobles.
There is also Captain Sima, because of his effective command and brave subordinates, he was promoted to three levels in a row, ranked as a feudal monarch, became a member of the Han aristocratic group, and obtained a ticket to the general.
Even those non-commissioned officers and generals with mediocre performance have reaped a lot of benefits in this war.
At least, after this battle, all the generals who participated in the war have completed the change of their own fate and that of their families.
So, now, the belligerence of the Han army is very strong.
There are even generals who have shouted the slogan of destroying the Huns in five years and capturing Shan Yu.
The military merit interest group already has its own will.
Their will is to fight, win, be promoted and make a fortune, and they will be honored with their children and grandchildren, and they will be honored with their ancestors.
Driven by this will, there are few people left who can stop them from continuing the war.
Whoever does not let them fight, then, who may be overthrown by them.
Therefore, even the conservative Han Rongdang did not dare to say that he wanted to recuperate, but could only say that he was fighting Dragon City.
In such a situation, only a few real giants can suppress the voices of the army.
Prime Minister Zhou Yafu is one.
Che Cavalry General Yi Zong is also a one.
At this moment, these two old and new giants in the military are standing together.
"The army must be repaired, and the people must recuperate" Zhou Yafu said to his son-in-law and disciple Yizong: "The voice in the army, the general of the chariot cavalry should do more guidance" "Nuo" Yizong bowed his hand and said: "What the adult means, the boy understands" "However, this matter still depends on His Majesty's intentions" Whether to continue fighting, or to take a break.
It's all about the will of today.
"I have already talked to Your Majesty about this" Zhou Yafu said: "The general can ask the military judges and supervisors to channel the emotions in the army, don't make a mess" "Nuo" Yizong heard this, and immediately nodded and said: "Since it is His Majesty's order, the boy should be edicted."
Compared to the old army, today's Han army is more orderly and controlled.
The reason is that when Jinzi was founded at the beginning of Yulinwei and Hubenwei, he began to lay a caring wind between officers and non-commissioned officers in these two armies.
From the highest lieutenant to the lowest sergeant, there is a connection.
And collective honor and military law in the army are closely linked to all this.
Among the Yulinwei and Hubenwei, the officers were responsible for commanding the soldiers in wartime, boosting morale and comforting the soldiers.
And in peacetime, they share the weal and woe with the soldiers.
Even taught soldiers to read and write, imparting various skills.
The relationship between the officers and the soldiers is extremely harmonious, and they have truly become siblings.
Other armies, although there is no such system.
However, it was more or less infected by Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei.
The concept of collective honor has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people.
Inside the army, although it is still highly hierarchical, it is absolutely united externally.
These emotions even began to infect their respective families.
Now the citizens of Chang'an City have already posted the military symbols of their children serving at their respective doorsteps.
The rangers generally do not dare to provoke these military families with military signs at the door, especially those widows and orphans.

The reason is simple, whoever provokes them is likely to provoke a hornet's nest.
God knows, behind this widow or orphan, is there a military Sima or even a lieutenant standing provoke them to ask for their own blessings At present, the army of the Han Dynasty, except for the county soldiers, the field army, is no longer subject to the checks and balances and orders of Jiuqing.
They are becoming more and more like the Qin army back then.
It is a real division of tigers and wolves.
Not only in temperament, but also in action This has made the army more and more combative, but it has also added many unstable factors.
Now, for example, almost no one dares to say the word peace except for the Son of Heaven.
Up to the three princes and nine kings, down to the scholars and nobles, who is not the hatred of Xianggong Fu IX on his lips all day long, the Spring and Autumn Period, the shame of Emperor Gao Pingcheng, and the humiliation of Empress Lu must be returned As for the lords and factions of the past Either they have been educated to start the main battle, or they don't know their mothers who have been beaten.
For example, Lu Ru, even the old nest was attacked Thinking of this situation, Zhou Yafu couldn't help but sigh worriedly.
Today's world has become a little more and more difficult for him to understand.
From top to bottom, the belligerent atmosphere is too strong.
This made Zhou Yafu a little worried, after fighting the Huns, where would the Han family go Do you continue to fight until you are poisoned?
Is it feasible With a distance of tens of thousands of miles, even if it is used by Zong Zhou's sub-sealing system, I am afraid that there will be problems Zong Zhou still has the rebellion of Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai.
The future Great Han, how to avoid the rebellion of the princes Zhou Yafu does not know.
But he knew that the situation now was that the army dragged the country and inspired the people, sliding all the way to war.
It is impossible not to let the army fight.
Because whoever does not let the army fight, the army will tear him apart From top to bottom, there are too many people who have been stimulated by the war and shared the dividends of the war.
Until now, the military has almost overwhelmed the scholars and bureaucrats except for the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, even he can only think of ways to suppress the emotions of the military as much as possible, and think about the future as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yafu said to Yizhong: "I already plan to beg for your majesty's bones next year and resign."
As of this year, Zhou Yafu has been sitting on the position of prime minister for more than six years.
Next year will be seven years.
Husbands and wives get along for seven years, and problems arise.
Not to mention between kings and ministers Zhou Yafu was never ready to die of old age, especially after the Son of Heaven talked to him.
Zhou Yafu is even more ready to say goodbye.
This is the best way to set an example for all generations and to preserve ourselves.
Originally, Zhou Yafu planned to resign justifiably when the term expired.
But now, Zhou Yafu has decided to resign early.
He intends to spend more time thinking about the future of the country and society.
And the rhetoric is also good, jumping out of the political distractions and staying away from militaristic affairs, he can enjoy more personal space, and he can also look at the changes in the world from a different angle.
What's more important is that after resigning, he can say whatever he wants.
Don't be dragged down by the phase.
When Yi Zong heard this, he was a little surprised.
It was too sudden "My lord, I won't think about it anymore" Yi Zong persuaded: "Your Majesty and the world, I'm afraid you can't do without the assistance of adults" Zhou Yafu's contributions over the years are well known.
Although he has a strong temper, he has a stance and principles, and at the same time dares to stand up to the Son of Heaven.
Over the years, the Son of Heaven's policy has basically had to talk to him first, or support him before starting to implement it.
Once he is gone, his successor may never be able to do as well as he does.
Zhou Yafu has made up his mind.
He shook his head and smiled: "Dong Chenghou doesn't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind."
He looked at Yizong and said solemnly: "Moreover, I have decided to recommend you to the Son of Heaven and the ministers as my successor, Dong Chenghou, and do it yourself."
When Yi heard this, he was shocked.
He is less than Chinese New Year's Eve years old this year, how dare he count on the position of prime minister He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Please take back your life, the kid is only a shallow learner, and it is difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility."
Yi Zong looked into the distance: "The boy is not above the temple, compared with the temple, the boy hopes to lead the army to open up the territory for His Majesty" Of course, he still has his own thoughts.
He hopes to use his military exploits to establish a solid foundation for his nephew.
At least let the minor illness be able to touch the position of the prince.
Zhou Yafu looked at Yizong, and then laughed.

He is actually half sincere, half tempting.
And so, the results of the temptation came out.
This worries him.
Historically, the people who have been involved in the disturbances within the Liu family have not ended well.
Geniuses like Jia Yi and Jia Changsha all died of grief.
For Yizong, he is really a little unoptimistic.
It's not that I don't believe in Yizong, but I don't believe in Liu's urine.
And the Zhou family and the Yi family's relatives are actually tied together, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
At this time, the morning sun rose, and the city gate of Beique slowly opened.
Zhou Yafu also had to stop the conversation with Yizong, board his carriage, and head towards the city gate.
In the court, Liu Che was also fully dressed.
For today's court discussion, Liu Che is not too worried.
Everything is ready.
It's like it just came naturally.
Compared with this, Liu Che was more concerned about another piece of information that had just arrived: in Pingyang County, Hedong, there was indeed a horse boy named Wei Qing who was herding sheep for the Marquis of Pingyang That's right The future god of war has finally appeared.
