Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen reviewed the memorial and handled government affairs.

As an emperor, Zhou Chen constantly reminded himself that it is easy to be a foolish monarch, but difficult to be a holy monarch.

If you want to be a wise man, you must not let yourself go.

Diligence is the most basic requirement.

All the ignorant rulers of the past, without exception, all started out of laziness and abandoned government.

Zhou Chen thinks that he is not some kind of heroic hero.

Therefore, Zhou Chen can only start from the most basic requirements and strictly demand himself.

"His Majesty."

"Director Cao, please see me."

At this time, the internal servant factory guard came in to report.

"Let him in."

Zhou Chen said without raising his head.

Since Dian Wei, the commander of the forbidden army, guards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Even Cao Zhengchun, the emperor's valet, who wanted to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation when he was not on duty, had to pass a communication.

Not long after the factory guard left, Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"His Majesty."

"This is the news that just came from Shu."

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and came directly to Zhou Chen's side.

Cao Zhengchun handed a message letter to Zhou Chen.

News from Shudi?

Zhou Chen was obviously stunned for a moment.

He didn't seem to let the people from Dongchang check the news of Shudi.

However, when he thought of the responsibilities of the East Factory, Zhou Chen felt that it was a matter of course.

Zhou Chen raised his head and took a deep look at Cao Zhengchun.

Then, Zhou Chen took the news letter from Shu from Cao Zhengchun's hand and opened it directly.

The message was not much, but not much.

After Zhou Chen read the news from Shu, his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Zhou Chen tapped the dragon case regularly with his fingers, and his eyes flickered in silence.

After a while.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Zhengchun; "Is there anything else? Is this the only one?"

Cao Zhengchun said immediately; "Report to Your Majesty, the factory guards have only found this information."

Zhou Chen heard the words, and was silent for a while.

"The King of Shu should be coming to Luoyang soon!"

"When the time comes, Cao Zhengchun, go and welcome the King of Shu."

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen calmly glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed.

"How is the situation in the four northern states?"

"Is Fang Xuanling's progress in the four northern states going well?"

Zhou Chen asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation in the four northern states has gradually stabilized."

"Master Fang has been doing his best to relieve disasters and appease the people. The people in the four states have been properly resettled."

"However, there are still some small groups of thieves in the land of the four states."

"Furthermore, Mr. Fang has been assassinated several times, which should be the actions of those who slipped through the net of the wealthy family."

"General Lu is already sending troops to exterminate these bandits, and Cao Shaoqin is also chasing down those who assassinated them."

Cao Zhengchun described the situation in the four northern states one by one.

After Zhou Chen listened, he nodded and didn't say anything more.

These problems were all within Zhou Chen's expectations. After all, the four northern states had just settled the chaos, and there were still some small groups of thieves who made trouble, which was inevitable.

As for Fang Xuanling being assassinated several times, that's not to mention.

If the aristocratic wealthy family is really that easy to clean up, and there is not a little leftover problem, then it is not a wealthy family.

But these, in Zhou Chen's view, will be completely wiped out over time.

...

Northern Xinjiang.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

in the conference hall.

The Marquis of Zhenbei, Xue Shaowen, sat on the throne with an imperial decree beside him.

On the left and right sides below him, there were more than a dozen figures in armor.

A solemn atmosphere permeated.

The Marquis of Zhenbei, Xue Shaowen, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his eyes and glanced at the more than a dozen generals sitting below, and said calmly; "The imperial court has just come, and you should have heard of it."

"This is the will of the imperial court to this Marquis, you all have a look."

Xue Shaowen picked up the imperial decree next to it and handed it to the more than ten generals present below.

The more than ten generals present below took over the imperial edict and watched in turn.

After reading the contents of the imperial edict, each general frowned slightly.

After more than a dozen generals present read the imperial edict, the solemn atmosphere in the hall became even more dull.

His Majesty actually decreed that Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, should return to Luoyang to perform his duties.

If this is according to the past, it can be regarded as normal.

It is very common for the emperor to summon important frontier generals to perform duties.

But before, the emperor in the palace ordered to suppress the northern army and mobilize the northern army to go south to quell the chaos.

Their Marquis of Zhenbei, Xue Shaowen, did not comply with the order, but prevaricates the past with other interfaces.

This made these generals here have to think more, whether the emperor ordered Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, to return to Luoyang to perform his duties, whether there would be other purposes.

Seeing that more than a dozen generals here have read the imperial decree, Xue Shaowen, who is in the main seat, once again looked at the more than ten generals below; "The imperial decree from the imperial court to this marquis, you have also read it."

"Your Majesty's decree, let this Marquis return to Luoyang to perform affairs."

"What are your thoughts?"

"Do you think Benhou should accept the order and return to Luoyang to perform according to the order?"

Xue Shaowen glanced at the dozen or so generals present below and asked.

The more than ten generals present here are all close friends of Xue Shaowen, which is also one of the reasons why Xue Shaowen can control the Zhenbei Army.

Therefore, for these generals, Xue Shaowen also went straight to the topic and did not have many concerns.

Hearing Xue Shaowen's question, more than a dozen generals present below glanced at each other.

One of the rude big men couldn't help but stand up first and said, "Master Hou, this will absolutely cannot be followed."

"Before our Zhenbei Army did not dispatch troops to the south to suppress the rebellion according to the will, it must have made Your Majesty suspicious."

"His Majesty has ordered the Lord Hou to return to Luoyang to perform his duties. It must be uneasy and good-hearted."

The rude man's voice was deafening, echoing in everyone's ears.

The other generals looked solemn and frowned, but none of them spoke easily.

They all knew that the possibility of what this rude big man said was very high.

This is exactly what worries them.

But if you don't respect the decree, and go back to Luoyang to do things, then it is against the decree and disrespectful, and it is treason.

What is the fate of rebellion.

These generals here are aware of this.

Those who rebelled were killed, and the nine clans were executed.

This is the naked conspiracy of the majesty in the palace, anyone with a little vision can see it.

Besides, I have not followed the order to dispatch troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, and I have prevaricates the His Majesty in the palace once.

If he doesn't obey the order this time, and prevaricates the majesty in the palace, he will definitely be labeled as rebellious by the one in the palace.

At that time, where will the Zhenbei Army go?

What should they do with these generals?

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you don't obey?"

Xue Shaowen, Marquis of Zhenbei, glanced at the rude big man indifferently.

The arrogant man's face changed a bit, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Hou, no matter how big the consequences are, he will be charged with a charge of disrespecting the decree. This is related to Master Hou returning to Luoyang to play an affair, and he may also be accused of being disrespectful. There is no difference between committing crimes and disrespecting decrees.”

"It's a big deal, Hou Ye will take us back."

"With 300,000 Zhenbei Army in hand, what if the imperial court can take Marquis?"

"With the strength of my Zhenzhen North Army, I will go straight to Luoyang. On this way, there is no military equipment that can stop it."

"At that time, it will be no problem to break Luoyang."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the council room changed slightly.

No one would have thought that this arrogant man would dare to say such rebellious words.

Xue Shaowen in the main seat sank, looking at the rude big man and yelling loudly; "Shut up."

"Do you know what you're going to say?"

"How dare you say such a rebellious remark?"

"Although the Great Zhou court has already set the mountain, but if the sun goes down again, the camel will be bigger than the horse."

"Do you think that with 300,000 Zhenbei Army, you can compete with the imperial court?"

"Let's not talk about the imperial garrison in other places, even the Shenwuwei guarding in Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is not something that my town north army can deal with."

"If you say this, do you know what consequences it will bring to the Zhenbei Army?"

"I'll get thirty military sticks later as punishment."

Xue Shaowen looked at the rough man and said sternly.

It's not something that can be said casually.

Although Xue Shaowen did not have much respect for the imperial court in his heart, he did not dare to speak such rebellious remarks openly.

Because Xue Shaowen knew that no matter what the court said, it was the orthodoxy of Da Zhou, and the thin dead camel was bigger than the horse.

He can find reasons to prevaricate the imperial decree, disrespect the court's will, and listen to the announcement instead of the tune.

But he is not qualified enough to challenge the court blatantly.

In particular, what happened in the court recently made Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, deeply realize that the camel of the court is still very powerful.

The rebellion in the four northern states was easily quelled by the imperial court, and even the Cui family of Boling, one of the seven great aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was instantly annihilated by the imperial court.

This is enough to show that even if this sick tiger in the imperial court is sunset, Yu Wei still exists.

This made Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, have to be careful.

In the face of Xue Shaowen's cold scolding, the rude big man sat down with an unwilling face.

He was surprised, didn't he just say what the Hou Ye thought?

Why did Hou Ye still scold him.

Could it be that the Marquis really obeyed the order and went to Luoyang to play a business?

After the rude man's words, the atmosphere in the conference hall became even more depressed.

Xue Shaowen, who was on the throne, took out another letter and looked at the people below; "There is also a letter from the Prime Minister to Ben Hou, you can take a look."

Prime Minister's letter?

The dozen or so generals present were stunned for a moment, and then began to read the Prime Minister's letter in turn.

After more than a dozen generals had read the Prime Minister's letter, the general on the right hand looked directly at Xue Shaowen in the main seat; "Master Hou, the Prime Minister's letter has already implied very clearly."

"Your Majesty has an idea for Marquis."

"Your Majesty's decree to call the Lord Hou to return to Luoyang to perform his duties. It's not a good thing for Lord Hou."

"What's your next plan, Lord Hou?"

"How to solve the salaries of the North Army in this town?"

The general said solemnly.

"Yes! Lord Hou."

"Military salaries are the most important thing. The 300,000-strong army's salaries are not a small sum."

"If the imperial court does not approve the payment of my Zhenbei Army, what will happen to my 300,000-strong army in Zhenbei?"

"They've been waiting for the army's pay!"

The first general on the left also said solemnly.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's letter has already hinted very clearly that His Majesty has suspicions about the Zhenbei Army.

If His Majesty does not pay the Zhenbei Army, what will happen to the 300,000 Zhenbei Army?

You can't really wait to drink the northwest wind!

When Xue Shaowen heard the worries of the two generals, he said calmly, "Don't worry! Regarding the salaries of the North Army, this Marquis expects that His Majesty in the Ding Palace will not refuse to pay it."

"From what His Majesty has done recently, our Majesty is not short-sighted."

"Your Majesty should know that if there is no military pay, the Zhenbei Army will be unstable."

"Once the Zhenbei Army is unstable, what the consequences will be, Your Majesty understands better than anyone else."

"So, Your Majesty will not allow Northern Xinjiang to be chaotic."

Xue Shaowen said with certainty.

Xue Shaowen's words were like a tranquilizer, which made the hearts of the more than ten generals present calm down a lot.

As long as there is military pay, that's fine.

If there is no military pay, it is really troublesome.

"Master Hou, then Your Majesty's decree to call you to Luoyang to make a presentation, should Master Hou go or not?"

The rude big man spoke up again.

The other generals also looked at Xue Shaowen on the main seat.

Regarding this matter, they didn't dare to speak lightly, they still had to see what Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, meant.

"Ben Hou's old injury has recurred, and he is seriously ill in bed. Do you think this Hou can still travel far and return to Luoyang to perform work?"

Xue Shaowen glanced at the rough man and said lightly.

When the rough man heard Xue Shaowen's words, he immediately laughed; "Should I just say it? Lord Hou won't go back to Luoyang to perform duties according to his will."

The other generals also understood what Xue Shaowen meant and said nothing.

Only Xue Shaowen, the Marquis of Zhenbei, can decide this kind of thing.

Xue Shaowen ignored the rude man, but glanced at the dozen or so generals present with a majestic look; "You have also read the imperial decree and the letter of the prime minister."

"You should also know that our current situation is very bad."

"So, you have to manage the Zhenbei Army well, and you can't make any mistakes."

"Especially some of the generals below are all given to Ben Hou."

"The Zhenbei Army is our life-saving foundation."

"I understand."

Xue Shaowen glanced at the more than ten generals below with a serious face~www.wuxiahere.com~ Hou Ye was relieved. "

"I'll wait to understand."

The dozen or so generals below stood up and bowed in unison.

"As long as you know."

"Let's all go to work first!"

Xue Shaowen waved his hand.

Then, more than a dozen generals present left the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

After more than a dozen generals left, Xue Shaowen was silent for a while, and then summoned the butler of the Hou residence; "Butler, send someone to visit Xiliang to visit the Hou of Xiliang."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The housekeeper nodded and immediately understood what Xue Shaowen meant.
