Scholar Kobayashi said to give it to Chief Censor Hu Yin, and the Censorate would ensure that it was not nonsense, and said to give it to a few Hanlin scholars, so that the entire document management system would have a clear idea and perhaps there would be less resistance in public discussions.
After Scholar Xiao Lin left, Yang Yi Zhong was still there. Zhao Jiu ignored him and went straight into the huge Gen Yue ruins with a bow on his back. Yang Yi Zhong and several squad members followed immediately.
"Are there any rumors in Tokyo recently?" Zhao Jiu asked after shooting a wild rabbit that was committing adultery in broad daylight with an arrow.
"Liu Ni's declaration of himself as emperor shocked the court and the public, and his every move attracted much attention... From the ceremony of his declaration of emperorship, to the sacrifice to Confucius, to the manifesto accusing the government of losing the mandate of heaven and gaining the throne by illegitimate means, all were discussed," Yang Yizhong said seriously.
"What about the local area?"
"Locally, Henan is still okay, but after Nanyang and Shouchun, the wealthy areas further south are also discussing the establishment of the Pseudo-Qi Dynasty."
"It seems that this incident has a great impact on people's hearts. The Jin people have made a good move." After several squads picked up the prey, Zhao Jiu continued to go into the ruins. "Apart from this matter, are there any other discussions..."
"Please let me know, sir."
"What do the government and the public think of me doing nothing these days, hunting all day, and entrusting most of the government affairs to the ministers?"
"Good instructor, you know, putting aside the matter of the pseudo-Qi, just talking about the performance of the government, there is actually no malice between the upper and lower levels... First of all, it makes sense to hand over government affairs to the prime minister and turn to the capital and the Privy Council. Some people even say that this is ruling by doing nothing..."
"I forgot about this... Is this a human skull? There is Mei Chaofeng... Didn't I tell you, then what?"
"Then... secondly, everyone knows the difficulties faced by the emperor and the palace. After spring, the palace was overgrown with weeds. The emperor shot rabbits and Madam Wu pulled weeds, but he refused Wu's tribute. All the money and goods sent by Nanyang were not allowed to enter the palace... these things are known to everyone."
"Don't just say good things. In fact, I don't want to shoot rabbits here. If I were in Nanyang, I would go out of the city to go boating and fishing on the Baihe River. Even if Qu Duan wrote a poem to mock me every day, I would still do it. If I could shoot tigers and watch Sun Lang and Qianqi rolling across Pinggang, even if Prime Minister Lu died, I would think it was worth it." Zhao Jiu continued to look for prey while smiling bitterly. "Of course, they don't know that I really don't understand those political affairs. Between political and military affairs, just coordinating personnel, appeasing ministers, and making decisions has already taken up all my thoughts. How can I learn from Zhuge Liang to do everything myself? Then I can only hide here and shoot rabbits to supplement the family income..."
“…”
"What did you mean by 'putting aside the pseudo-Qi'?"
"There are still people discussing those manifestos of the Pseudo-Qi..." Yang Yizhong's tone couldn't help but become a little cautious.
"I understand." Zhao Jiu didn't care and continued to search for prey deep in Genyue.
Yang Yizhong said nothing more and just followed along.
The two sides marched side by side, but perhaps because of the strong wind, Guan Jia missed several prey in a row. However, at this moment, Zhao Jiu suddenly came to his senses, and then stopped and looked back:
"Anything else?"
"Yes..." Yang Yizhong replied carefully. "General Yue's army has crossed the river, and Yangzhou itself is stable. It is said that Madam Pan is begging the Queen Mother to issue an order to allow her to come to Tokyo to meet the emperor... But in two days, Madam Pan's petition to return to Tokyo should arrive, so I don't know whether I should say this or not."
Zhao Jiu was silent for a while, but he raised his bow and aimed at a silver-white wild cat on a rockery in the distance. The cat was not afraid of people and was showing its fangs and claws at something. Then he suddenly shot an arrow. The arrow drew a very strange arc in the wind, but at the end of the trajectory with obvious falling marks, it killed the wild cat.
"Come if you want!" At this point, Zhao Jiu sighed amid the strange sound of the wind. "Such a large palace can always accommodate a few more people... Otherwise, we can't chase them away, right?"
