Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 423 How could he praise himself?

Duke Mu's face was not good, and the news was blocked. Even he could not find out what happened, but even if it was a big deal, Song Chun asked Mu Liangdi to take off her clothes in the yard. Not only was he humiliating Mu Liangdi, but he was also humiliating the Duke's government. He had to give an explanation.

"She belongs to the Crown Prince, so she will naturally be dealt with by the Crown Prince. But after all, she is the old minister's granddaughter. I hope the Crown Prince will forgive her for the sake of the old minister." When Mu Guogong said this, his anger subsided again and again.

Song Chun was much calmer than him, his attitude was calm and neither impatient nor impatient: "Don't worry, my lord, this is natural."

Only then did Duke Mu leave. Seeing his ugly face, Song Wei and Song Ce who were waiting outside the palace became a little more cautious.

Entering the palace, Song Chun kept looking at Song Wei. When they saw Li, Song Chun took the initiative to speak: "Your mother needs to be sick and recuperate. Don't bother her these days. Wait until she gets better."

"Father, mother, is she seriously ill?" Song Wei wanted to know the reason why Lin was banned, but he also remembered Song Ce's reminder and did not dare to ask randomly.

Song Chun nodded: "She is so sick that the people around her are irritating her by talking nonsense. I have dealt with those people. There are no villains around to instigate. Your mother will recover soon. You can Study with peace of mind, no need to worry about others."

Song Wei felt a little relieved: "Yes."

"When these days are free, you should go to the palace more often to pay respects to your grandparents. They miss you both very much." Song Chun looked at the two boys who were about to catch up with him in height: "It's rare that the emperor is in the palace recently."

They agreed in unison. Since there was nothing else to do, Song Chun urged them to go back to study and there was no need for them to stay in front of him all the time.

Although Empress Shen didn't know the details of Lin's ban, she didn't ask much about it afterwards, and the younger Shen who was involved didn't make any statement. Emperor Hongming, after staying in the palace for a few days, went to the palace again. Although he was concerned about Song Fu's current power, he did not forcefully interfere with Song Chun.

The court also made a decision on the merits and rewards for the northwest army who had made great contributions to Li Li, and the rewards and money were sent uniformly. At the same time, Song Fu's request for credit for Song Yuan was also discussed by the courtiers, and the reward was awarded in the name of Song Chun. Song Yuan, the young master of the Sikong Mansion must record this matter as a political achievement for Song Yuan.

At the same time as the great victory in the northwest, the personnel transfer of the northern army also began in full swing. Song Chun approved the offer of several veteran generals to retire and return home, and ordered Song Run to take over full authority of the northern army. However, the matter was not easy to handle. Although those veteran generals retired , but their cronies and important officials are still retained. Although Song Run has his own cronies to dispatch, it will still take time to completely control the northern army.

As for the courtier's proposal to move the firearms manufacturing place out of the northwest, Song Chun did not immediately agree. He had his own considerations. Arranging the firearms manufacturing in the northwest was under the noses of Song Fu and Song Yuan, even if If others were eager to get a piece of the pie, he could also use Song Fu's name to shirk the blame.

Once the firearms manufacturing is moved out of the northwest and directly controlled by the imperial court, it will become another question whether the imperial court will give it to others if they want it. Although the military power of the northern army is being handed over, before Song Run fully controls the northern army, He would never let the northern army have access to firearms.

As for the southern army, it was even more impossible. Once they had firearms, I was afraid that the royal family would have other ideas. In troubled times, he did not want to cause trouble for himself.

After some arrangements, May soon arrived. The weather was getting hotter, but droughts were reported in Hejian and other places one after another. There was no rain for several months, and there was no harvest from spring planting. If the drought continues, it will definitely affect the autumn harvest. Hejian County The prime minister was so anxious that he could only report it to the court.

"This drought has affected a wide range of places, including Hejian, Zhuojun, Zhongshan, Changshan and other places. These places were prone to floods in previous years, but for some reason this year, there was a severe drought. Among them, Hejian was the most serious. The Prime Minister of Hejian County reported the disaster situation and requested the imperial court to provide relief."

Song Chun told Emperor Hongming in detail the recent major events in the court. Although Emperor Hongming did not care about political affairs, there were some things that he must know.Emperor Hong Ming leaned on the dragon chair, his face rosy, but his spirit became more and more depressed. Because of the hot weather, he even refused to dress properly. He wore a silk dress loosely. There was no trace of his strong body. Instead, It was the saggy skin and brown spots that appeared out of nowhere. Such a huge contrast made Song Chun very worried about his physical condition.

After hearing Song Chun's report, he looked worried: "If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. What does the Imperial Master think?"

The great witch Zhiyan was standing by. He was now more and more favored by Emperor Hong Ming. He would ask him what he meant even when it came to important national affairs. Song Chun did not object, but just listened quietly with an indifferent expression.

He deliberately said this in front of the great witch Zhiyan. Even if Emperor Hongming didn't ask, he would ask the great witch Zhiyan about this matter.

The great witch Zhiyan pinched his fingers before speaking: "This is a sign of coquettishness, and God's warning is coming."

"Warning from heaven?" Emperor Hongming was immediately concerned. He now fully believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Song Chun looked at Emperor Hong Ming indifferently, no longer bothering to correct his thoughts. The great witch Zhiyan noticed his reaction and asked proactively: "The prince has any other suggestions?"

"No, I just saw that my father trusted the Imperial Advisor so much, and I felt that my previous views on the Imperial Advisor were too biased. It is indeed a blessing for the Wei Dynasty that the Imperial Advisor can do calculations."

He would actually think so?
The great witch Zhiyan was surprised, while Emperor Hongming was overjoyed. Song Chun's change of opinion made him very happy.

"It's just that the Imperial Preceptor is so powerful, but do you know how many people among the people are cheating under the banner of the Imperial Preceptor?" Song Chun got to the point: "After several months of drought, the affected people did not want to divert water for irrigation, but instead dedicated their only wealth to The wizards under the Imperial Master made tens of thousands of dollars in just a few months, leaving thousands of people with no food to eat and no fixed place to live, so they had no choice but to move to other places."

Sure enough, how could he praise himself? He must be looking for trouble.

"Are there already refugees?" Emperor Hong Ming finally paid attention.

Song Chun took out the book he had been holding in his hand: "The number of thousands of refugees was half a month ago, but now there are probably even more. Many wizards use the banner of the Imperial Prefecture to make money and defraud the people, and the amounts involved are huge. , the Yamen has arrested hundreds of people, some wizards fled, and some instigated the people to fight with the Yamen, so the Hejian County Sheriff dispatched troops to suppress it."

Upon hearing that a civil uprising had occurred, Emperor Hongming immediately looked carefully at the book in his hand.

The great witch Zhiyan also clasped his fists: "It is not good for me to restrain my subordinates. Please punish me."

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. I know that the Imperial Master is innocent. I also understand that most of these people are liars and are not under the Imperial Master." Song Chun was the first to speak: "I have issued an order to behead all the liars in public and kill their bodies at the city gate. warn."
