The Seven Great Hatreds was a strategy he and his brains discussed together.

"Why is there no movement in the Xinghan Empire, and the emperor of the Xinghan Empire has no intention of sending troops?"

Zha Da Yuan was puzzled, looked at the think tank on the side and asked.

The think tank also frowned at this time, his analysis of Lu Chensheng was the same as that of Khan.

From his point of view, once these seven hatreds come out, it is tantamount to telling Lu Chensheng, come and beat me!I've scolded you so much, why don't you come and beat me?

But from the information they got, the soldiers of the Xinghan Empire did not move, and even in Xinghan City, it was still calm as before, which made him a little puzzled.

"Khan, did you really spread the news?"

"Of course it spread, there is no doubt about it."

When Khan heard the words, he said something in a deep voice.

Is this still questionable?

When the think tank heard this, he immediately frowned, "If that's the case, someone must have dissuaded the emperor of the Xinghan Empire, and let the other party see through our purpose."

Think tank is a bit regretful.

Originally, he had already calculated everything, as long as Lu Chensheng dared to send troops, he would dare to lead Lu Chensheng's army into an ambush circle.

When starting a battle, first deal with the opponent carefully, and when the opponent is exhausted, give the final blow.

He looked at the map, and the chosen battlefield would definitely be the soldiers who could severely damage the Xinghan Empire. No matter how well equipped the opponent's soldiers were, they would be powerless.

However, the other party didn't send troops at all, which made his plan aborted.

Hearing this, Zanda Yuanxi frowned unconsciously, with a bit of regret on his face.

"It's a pity. It's winter, and it will be freezing cold. The Han soldiers have never felt such a cold. They will never be able to stop it. If the other party dares to send a large army, they will be buried here in one fell swoop. Yes, but the other party is not fooled."

He has prepared a lot of means, and there are people from the Jurchen clan to help.

I already thought that as long as the other party dared to come, they would definitely be able to make the other party come and go.

However, the Xinghan Empire was not fooled at all.

If they could wipe out the army of the Xinghan Empire once, they would have the upper hand at that time, and they could go south to burn, kill and loot before winter began.

It's not like now, when autumn comes, knowing that the Han people have a good harvest, but they don't dare to snatch it.

The main reason is that Lu Chensheng wiped out too many armies before, and even made Lu Chensheng a wedding dress.

Every time he thinks of this, Zanda Yuanxi feels depressed and wants to vomit blood.

"Forget it, since the other party has seen through it, let's let the other party go this time."

After thinking about it, Zanda Yuanxi gave up the previous plan, it was already like this, and there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't want to come over.

It is impossible to directly send a large army to lure the opponent, that would be too easy to be wiped out by the opponent.

"Even so, Khan still needs to be careful. The other party is unwilling to send a large army now that winter is coming, but it may not be the case in the coming year. If the Xinghan Empire sends a large army, we still have to take precautions."

The think tank reminded that now you can rest assured.

Even if the Xinghan Empire's army sneaked into the grassland, the opponent would still fall for it.

It's just that if it's changed to the next year, and the opponent comes to attack in autumn, the problem will be serious.

After hearing the words, Zha Dayuan quickly nodded his head, expressing that he was clear in his heart.

He has already experienced the strength of the Xinghan Empire once, and he will never think about experiencing it again.

Seeing Zanda Yuanxi take this matter to heart, the think tank breathed a sigh of relief.

A few years ago, Lu Chensheng's soldiers invaded the grassland again and again, turning the grassland upside down.

Although he didn't come in these years, it was entirely because Lu Chensheng hadn't completed the unification and went to take care of the three dynasties.

Now that the three major dynasties have been destroyed, I am afraid that they can free up their hands to deal with them, so we have to guard against them.

...

There are white tiles on the eaves.

After winter, when you get up early, you can see the hoarfrost on the eaves. At first glance, the light white is still very beautiful.

But if he didn't have to get up early to go to court, Lu Chensheng would be in a better mood.

Waking up early in the winter, Lu Chensheng's cold mood was not very good.

In the palace, before Lu Chensheng got up, some charcoal fires had already been lit to ensure the temperature in the palace.

When Lu Chensheng got up, he didn't feel the slightest bit of cold, but when he left the palace, he felt chilly.

After a while, Lu Chensheng came to Chengtian Hall. The temperature inside the hall was much higher than outside, and the ministers were already waiting.

Seeing Lu Chensheng coming, Qi Qi bowed down to Gao He.

"It's all free."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Lu Chensheng felt the temperature gradually rise, and his complexion looked much better.

"Your Majesty, here are the taxes and expenditures for this year, please take a look at them."

Li Daifu from the Ministry of Accounting stood up and handed over the various figures calculated by the Ministry of Accounting this year.

The accounts are quite long. Although they have been simplified, the expenditures for each item are still a bit dumbfounded.

Originally, I felt that there was not much money to spend, but over time, there were more.

After Lu Chensheng looked at it, he put it aside.

"What else?"

There seems to be no problem with the accounts, so Lu Chensheng can take a quick look at them. Even if there is a problem with the accounts, he still needs to look at the detailed accounts, not the statistics.

Chapter 695

It is already deep winter at this time, and it will be the Spring Festival in a while.

According to the usual practice, all the officials are about to start taking a rest.

Therefore, whatever happens at this time, will be resolved as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, this is the latest batch of appointments and dismissals of officials, please take a look at them."

Du Rufang from the Ministry of Officials handed in the memorial, which was a list drawn up by members of the Ministry of Officials after discussion.

Lu Chensheng took it and looked carefully, there were some officials who were appointed and dismissed because they were not talented enough, some were promoted, and some had the latest hairstyles, and they felt competent and were given a position.

Everything is written in great detail, and the reasons for dismissal are also very detailed.

But most of the people on this list, Lu Chensheng basically has no impression, which makes Lu Chensheng a little helpless.

There are too many people under him, and Lu Chensheng really can't recognize them, only the people in this hall, Lu Chensheng can recognize all of them.

"Everyone, take a look, all the candidates on this list are fine."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, and showed the memorial to the rest of the ministers to see what they thought.

When the ministers heard the words, they immediately took over.

Compared to Lu Chensheng, they almost all know the people on this list.

There is no way, since you are in the officialdom, plus those who can be nominated, they are all famous, and it is normal to be able to recognize a comprehensive one.

"Your Majesty, the minister Rong Jiang here thinks it is not suitable to take up the post of the Ministry of Officials. Although this person has heard of some fame, he has never done anything of meritorious deeds. It is a bit too big to take one step into the task. gone."

"My minister seconded the proposal. This person has not shown any shocking talents. It is a bit too much to directly give him this position in the matter."

Several ministers stood up one by one and spoke.

Lu Chensheng took a look, and these ministers seemed to be from the Wu family.

Looking at the other party's appearance, he seems to be at odds with this Rongjiang line, or is he at odds with the Rong family?

The Rong family?

Lu Chensheng frowned and thought for a while, and seemed to have a little impression.

The Rong family was in the Chengzhou Kingdom of the previous dynasty, and it was also a big family, and it was also an important family in the previous dynasty.

However, the Chengzhou Kingdom was destroyed, and the Rong family also declined. Now that the Xinghan Empire was first established, the Rong family also wanted to let the children of the family find a job, so that they could climb up step by step.

Whether there are people in the court or not is completely different.

The Rong family is still very clear about this matter, so it must have taken a lot of effort to send the person in.

Lu Chensheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and he had already guessed what was going on inside.

In the imperial court, there are already many disciples from aristocratic families from the previous dynasties of Da Cang and Jiang, who have held official positions here.

For this matter, Lu Chensheng almost turned a blind eye.

There is no way, scholars are almost all cultivated by them, and Lu Chensheng still needs them if he wants to manage the world well.

It's impossible to send a few big men who don't even know the words to manage it?

Compared with the big clans in Da Cang Kingdom and Chengzhou Kingdom, the situation of the big clans in Chengzhou Kingdom today is much more difficult.

When the Great Cang Kingdom and the Jiang Kingdom were just destroyed, Lu Chensheng was in urgent need of manpower, so when these people came, it was easy to find a job.

Those who did well basically stayed, and those with poor abilities were dismissed by Du Rufang.

But right now, the positions of officials are becoming increasingly scarce, and it is much more difficult for the rest of the people to come in.

But once in, as long as the talent is good, the position will be much more stable.

A group of ministers ran against this person, maybe someone was eyeing this position in the matter, or they didn't deal with the Rong family very much.

It's all possible.

"Your Majesty, although Rong Jiangxing didn't do anything amazing, it does have talent."

The impeachment of the minister on the side just fell, and then another minister stood up and spoke for this person.

"What did Du Aiqing say?"

Lu Chensheng was a little uncertain, looked at Du Rufang and asked a question.

Hearing this, Du Rufang raised his head to look at the emperor, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "This person is the result of a joint discussion between the officials. I have trusted you. If this person really doesn't have the ability in this area, when the time comes, I will It’s too late to dismiss him.”

Lu Chensheng pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"You should also give the young man a chance, let him try."

Lu Chensheng made a decision, let this Rong Jiangxing try.

Seeing this, the ministers on the side were a little disappointed, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

"What else?"

"The governor of Jiangbei submitted a memorial, saying that there were many rogues in the Jiangbei generation, who plundered merchants from all over the place. Before that, they sent many soldiers to encircle and suppress them, but the effect was very little."

Rogue?

At this time, there are still rogues. It seems that they are already used to looting, and the pleasure brought by covetousness and looting and money come easily.

"How many rogues are there?"

"There are about 100 people."

The minister responded immediately.

"Why did the soldiers encircle and suppress with little effect?"

Lu Chensheng continued to ask.

"Because these rogue bandits are water-savvy, they commit crimes on the river, and it is extremely difficult to eliminate them."

The minister responded.

Lu Chensheng knocked on the table, "Gu Zhifang?"

"Chen is here!"

"Let you personally lead the five hundred brocade guards to wipe out the rogues. You don't have to bring them back for interrogation. If you're sure it's the rogues, you'll kill them immediately."

"The minister leads the order!"

Gu Zhifang immediately responded loudly.
