Chapter 661 The Crown Prince's Mind
The Minister of Rites Chu Zhaofu faced the two minor officials under his command and said coldly: "I want to protect you, but you have committed a sin that is unforgivable! No one can save you when beating the warriors who returned from the Western Regions!"
These two little officials lowered their heads very deeply, their hearts were completely helpless. To be honest, they were also unfair. Sang Yun was in a mess and even came to yell at the envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty. Those who were a little brained would regard him as a lunatic. There were too many people who had gone to the Great Zhou Dynasty to cheat tribute in recent years, but they were not so direct.
If you don’t hit him, who will you hit!
No matter what, they never thought that they would hit someone they shouldn't have hit.
Just the excitement of the people in the capital, they knew that it was over!
If a person spits out at one mouthful, they can drown them. It would be great if they can save their lives.
These two guys lowered their heads and waited for their hair to fall.
Chu Zhaofu pondered for a while and said, "I am adhering to the laws of the country and the people. I suggest that the Ministry of Justice exile you to the Western Regions. You should know what to do!"
"Western Regions, Western Regions?"
The two of them looked at each other and were completely stupid!
Is it that we are sent to the Western Regions to die?
Instead of leaving his hometown and dying thousands of miles away, it is better to behead his head immediately!
And the Western Regions are so far away, how do they go?
The two of them were still looking at each other, and Chu Zhaofu was furious, "Ignortic fool! The court wants to send troops to the Western Regions, so you will naturally send troops to the Western Regions ahead!"
"ah!"
The two of them exclaimed again, this time they were not afraid, but excited!
That's right, it's just excitement!
How many people are trying to make achievements in the Western Regions?
It’s not a punishment, but a reward for their ability to go!
I heard that many young masters from the generals went to sign up for the army, but were turned away.
Chen Shi made it very clear that this time he went to the Western Regions, he would not bring any extra people, and he must have real skills.
Either they are first-class loyal and brave men, or they have a skill, know how to forge, make gunpowder, musket, understand medicine, astronomy, and civil engineering... In short, these thousand people are seeds, and sent to them are to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the Guiyi Army and Khotan and double their strength.
The two minor officials of the Ministry of Rites made a big mistake. What kind of virtue can they squeeze into the army?
In fact, they are really useful. Whether it is the Khotan or the Guiyi Army, they all refer to the Tang system and manage the local area. The Great Zhou Dynasty had to fully support the Western Regions, not just send troops.
It is also necessary to comprehensively transform the official system of the two places so that they can take over the factory workshops sent by the Great Zhou, and learn to mobilize the Han people in the Western Regions in the way of the Great Zhou.
Not only the Ministry of Rites, but also other departments, including local governments, must draw elite soldiers and strong generals to set out with the army.
Although there are only one thousand people, they are the essence of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you use it well, you can copy a reduced version of the Great Zhou court in the Western Regions... Because of this, it is particularly important for who will rule this group of people.
Chen Shi was a general who led the army. His kung fu and military strategy were not weak, and he was relatively stable and obedient. He was responsible for commanding the troops and defending the black khan cavalry, without any problem.
But he can only represent the military, and he also needs more substantial figures to represent the entire Great Zhou!
Logically speaking, the cabinet ministers of the current dynasty were the best choice, but they were too old to withstand long-distance travel, and sent them there. It was not easy for civil and military personnel to cooperate. Everyone needed to have a person who surpassed civil and military personnel to represent the emperor and go to the Western Regions! Xuan comforted the Han people in the Western Regions, coordinated various affairs, and gathered the Han people in the Western Regions as soon as possible.
"Father, who else can be competent except the child? The child begs for the father to beg him!"
The prince had been running to Chai Rong for three consecutive days and begging for this matter. This time, he simply knelt down. With Chai Rong's attitude of not arriving, he would not get up.
Chai Rong frowned. Of course, it was a good thing for the prince to go. He could see that since Queen Fu's death, the prince has grown rapidly, has become more and more sensible, and has also improved his studies. He also examined the vegetable prices in Kaifeng and came up with ways to increase the income of vegetable farmers.
Chai Rong felt very relieved, but the problem was that the prince was less than ten years old and ran to the Western Regions thousands of miles away. It was too dangerous. Not to mention the sword light and sword shadows, just getting infected with the disease can kill him!
"Son of the Emperor, don't waste your spit anymore. As the prince, I am very pleased to think about national affairs. But you must do everything within your ability. You can't do whatever you want, and you can't be a reckless man. Just study hard, sooner or later, your father will give you the opportunity to experience!"
"Father!"
Guo Zongxun shouted: "Father, I heard that the Han people have been fighting for more than 200 years since Anshizhi, fighting with barbarians for more than 200 years. From the 60-year-olds to the ten-year-old children, they all have to go to the battlefield, with blood stained with yellow sand... They have not supported the Central Plains, and have fought hard for so many years with their own strength! It is up to a bloody nature! My Han family has been living and standing for thousands of years, relying on this spirit! The child represents his father to the Western Regions, which means that the emperor values their courage, which is for both the Han people in the Western Regions and for the people of the world! The Great Zhou cannot treat loyal and righteous people unfairly!"
Guo Zongxun talked in front of his father: "If someone else is sent, how can he calm people's hearts and boost morale? As a descendant of the Guo family, children should not be afraid of swords and avoid swords, and fear death and greed for life! The child begs his father and will definitely be merciless!"
What the little prince said was reasonable and Chai Rong nodded frequently when he heard it.
He walked to the prince himself, helped his son up, and patted his young shoulder with relief.
"You're very good!"
Chai Rong said: "As the emperor, people say that they can keep their fair share of the heavenly constitution and do whatever they want... But over the years, the father has just felt a heavy responsibility and has not been able to relax for a moment. Prince, if you can understand the responsibility of the Tian family, the father will be relieved. But you are still too young, and this time the father will never let you go. Be obedient, follow the masters and gain more skills!"
After Chai Rong finished speaking, he touched the top of his son's head, and then turned around and wanted to leave.
At this moment, Guo Zongxun suddenly whispered: "Father, if you don't let the child go, then can you go?"
Uncle!
Brother Guo Xing!
Chai Rong suddenly turned around and frowned.
"Emperor, how could you think of letting the King of Shang go?"
Guo Zongxun said: "Father, among the royal family, only my uncle is older than me. He has been to Bashu, he can make firearms, and learn medical skills. The most important thing is that he is a member of the royal family. He can represent the emperor. He can also boost morale and clean up people's hearts!"
Chai Rong waved his hand and said solemnly: "Emperor, do you know what the consequences will be if you ask the King of Shang to go? Who suggested that you recommend the King of Shang?"
Chai Rong's tone was hard to hide his anger. The pressure between father and son was very low, very low!
Guo Zongxun was very afraid of his father, but at this moment he straightened his back and faced his father's gaze.
"Father, letting my uncle go to the Western Regions is what the child thinks, and no one instigates me." After a pause, Guo Zongxun said, "The child knows that letting my uncle go will increase his prestige. The mother was worried that my uncle would threaten the child, so, so..." Guo Zongxun suddenly raised his face and shouted: "Father, my daughter thinks that my mother is wrong!"
"Why was she wrong?" Chai Rong said in a deep voice.
"Because she only thought of great gains and losses, but she did not think of the whole world! Sending the royal family to the Western Regions can instantly regain the hearts of the Han people in the Western Regions, four thousand miles of land, and return to the hands of the Great Zhou... This is an achievement that will never be achieved. Compared with this, the rest are all over the clouds, which is no problem!"
The little guy was full of enthusiasm and confidence.
Chai Rong took two steps, grabbed his son's shoulder suddenly, and stared at his son's eyes very hard, "Are you really afraid that someone will take your place?"
"Not afraid! As long as the child does the right thing, no one can replace him!" Guo Zongxun smiled and said, "Father, don't you tolerate Master Ye?"
Chai Rong was stunned and suddenly laughed and shook his head, "How can this be compared!"
He said this, but he was filled with joy.
Chai Rong asked himself, the emperor didn’t need to understand everything, or even understand nothing, but he had one ability that had to be outstanding, that is, his mind and mind, and he could know people and take responsibility.
Sending Brother Guo Xing to the Western Regions to represent the emperor is definitely a good move.
It just can easily cause other associations... Queen Fu was trapped on it!
"Young son, do you really have the courage?"
