Chapter 80 Demotion is a small matter, but taking a knighthood is a big matter
The old ministers of the cabinet are all human spirits, and they are the best at figuring out the meaning of the saint, and they are also very good at the proportion of the saint, as early as when the saint first received the disaster in Huangzhou, he already understood the mind of the saint.

Since the Holy Lord brought this matter to the court to discuss, it must have a deep meaning, so he watched the arguments from the ministers with his eyes and nose and heart, and only listened carefully to the arguments from the ministers with his ears, so as to come up with the most suitable plan when the Holy Lord needed it.
After Xuanpinghou and others proposed to send troops to Huangzhou to suppress it by force, a part of the ministers led by Xu Guogong soon stood up.
There were a large number of ministers, and they strongly opposed Xuanpinghou's suggestion to use violence to counter violence, and implored the Holy Lord to severely punish the prefect of Huangzhou Prefecture who disregarded the lives of the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, to release grain for disaster relief and appease the victims.
Of course, for those rioters who took advantage of the disaster to try to shake the foundation of the country, they also decided not to be merciful.
In a word, it is necessary to treat them separately and break them one by one.
For a while, the two sides were in dispute, and each did not give in.
Although both sides have their own reasons, the suggestion of Xu Guogong is more pleasing to the saints, and it is also consistent with the proposal in King Xian's urgent letter.
A disaster is an order, and disaster relief is like fighting a fire.
Although it was difficult to unify opinions in the court, after a day of fierce debate and urgent consultations, a decision was reached the next day.
2,000 men and horses were transferred from the camp in Xishan on the outskirts of Beijing, led by the Marquis of Xuanping, to Huangzhou to assist His Royal Highness King Xian to pacify the mob.
The household department urgently transferred 20,000 stone of grain, with Wang Yicheng of Changning Bo as the escort officer, and Wang Yizong, the servant of the household department, as the grain release officer, and sent another 500 forbidden troops to escort the disaster relief food team to Huangzhou for disaster relief and appease the people.
Most of the 20,000 stone grain was for the victims of the Huangzhou disaster, and only a small part was set aside for military rations.
As soon as the Holy Lord's decree was made, the Changning Bo Mansion immediately moved, and the atmosphere in the mansion was particularly depressing.
No one could have imagined that the Holy Lord would send two people from Changningbo's Mansion to Huangzhou for disaster relief at once.
Although His Royal Highness King Xian was sitting there, no one could say what the chaos was.
"You brothers must pay attention to their own safety, and don't rush to the front, after all, you are not sergeants, just escort officers and grain release officers." The old lady wiped her tears, looked at this and that, and longed to go into the palace to ask for the grace of the saint and give this work to others.
"Mother, relax your mind, although there is some chaos in Huangzhou, in the end, it is also our own land, no matter how chaotic it is, it can't compare to the danger of fighting on the border.
Besides, the uncle went to Huangzhou with the soldiers first, and His Royal Highness King Xian presided over the overall situation, and by the time we sent the grain there, maybe everything had been settled. Wang Yicheng and Wang Yizong glanced at each other, and the two persuaded and coaxed, and finally let the old lady stop crying.
Not to mention that the old lady was frightened by this, Wang Yicheng and Wang Yizong were also extremely uneasy in their hearts, but as courtiers, they had to go wherever the saint pointed out, and where they had a choice.
Of course, they each had a lot of incomprehension and concerns about the fact that the Holy Lord actually sent Xuanping Hou to lead troops to Huangzhou, after all, Xuanping Hou strongly advocated countering violence with violence.
Privately, when the brothers talked about this, they were extremely worried that the uncle would use the same methods he had used to fight against the enemy to pacify the mob in Huangzhou.
If that kind of means is really used, I am afraid that things will get bigger and bigger, and I only hope that King Xian can prevent Xuanping Hou from making mistakes in time, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause irreparable consequences.
However, after thinking about it, Wang Yicheng's brothers felt that what they should worry about should not be this matter, since the saint dared to send Xuanping Hou to lead the troops, he must have left a back hand, so he was not worried that Xuanping Hou would do anything to harm the country and the people.
In my heart, I was more worried about what inappropriate behavior Xuanping Hou would do under his impulse, but he was in the arms of the saint, and when the time came, it would be a small matter to demote the knight, and it would be a big matter to win the title!
It's just that if that's the case, it's not appropriate for any of them to go to Xuanping Hou to say it.
With their understanding of Xuanpinghou, if they say it directly, they may not only not be able to stop Xuanpinghou, but also force Xuanpinghou, who is becoming more and more rigid and self-serving, to make more risky moves as he grows older.
"Big brother is really not going to remind and remind uncle?" The two brothers came out of Mingxin Hall and went to the outer study together, and as soon as they sat down, Wang Yizong couldn't wait to ask.
"How to remind? Will my uncle listen? If we go to remind us, I'm afraid that my uncle will still think that our Changning Bo Mansion will not be able to see the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, a great opportunity to protect the lord! Wang Yicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"But......" Wang Yizong still wanted to persuade again, Wang Yicheng raised his hand and blocked Wang Yizong's mouth with one sentence: "Do you think the saint doesn't know what kind of person his uncle is?" ”
Wang Yizong couldn't help but be surprised, yes, although the current saint is sixteen years old and has only succeeded to the throne for more than a year, he is wise and resourceful, and can even be described by the word "Zhiduo near demon".
Thinking of a possibility, Wang Yizong looked at Wang Yicheng in surprise.
Wang Yicheng nodded slightly, and sighed as if persuading and warning: "Let's just do our part with peace of mind, send these 20,000 stone grain to Huangzhou safely, and then distribute the disaster relief grain to the disaster victims smoothly, so that the disaster victims in Huangzhou can have a peaceful year, and there are no people who starve to death and freeze to death, even if we do our best for the imperial court." ”
"Otherwise, the eldest brother will give my mother some wind." Wang Yizong was still a little reluctant to give up and made suggestions again.
After all, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has always had the intention of getting close to the Changning Bo Mansion, and this opportunity for marriage should fall on the second house.
Even so, Wang Yizong naturally doesn't want the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to end up with a demotion or even a knighthood, and even if there is no kiss and kiss, the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Changning Bo Mansion still have places where the bones are broken and the front tendons are broken.
Wang Yicheng carefully considered Wang Yizong's suggestion, Xuanping Hou, as his own uncle, did have to reach out and pull when he could, so Wang Yicheng took Wang Yizong's proposal to heart, nodded and agreed.
In the study, some details of going to Huangzhou for disaster relief were discussed, and the brothers dispersed when it was close to the right time.
Coming out of the outer study, Wang Yicheng went directly back to the main courtyard of Changning Bo Mansion.
Since knowing that Zhang was pregnant again, Wang Yicheng seemed to have suddenly relented.
On weekdays, in addition to the necessary entertainment, I almost went home after getting off the office.
When I returned to the house, I was either busy in the study outside, or I went back to the main courtyard to accompany the Zhang family, and almost no longer set foot in the concubines' rooms, which made people can't help but look sideways in surprise.
No matter what kind of considerations Wang Yicheng had for doing this, the old lady was naturally happy to see it.
Although she feels a little sorry for her son, the old lady is the most well-behaved person in the end, and only by valuing the wife over the concubine can she prevent chaos in the backyard.
This is also the main reason why the old lady is reluctant to promote the Shen family to a flat wife, although there is another important reason that she does not want to see the Lin family suffer.
