Chapter 268: The King Prisons the Country?
(2nd Update)
When Jiang Yuan fled to the southwest with Xia Ronghua, Jing Heng rarely summoned the officials above the fourth rank in the capital, as well as the major generals and Zhonglang generals of the Twelve Guards, to gather in the Taiji Hall to discuss state affairs.

Meng Yan, Chu Xu and Gu Kaizhi knew that Jing Heng had the intention of cutting Chu, and in the early two years, Zhan Heng had been asking Gu Kaizhi to expand military spending, nominally to build water conservancy for the southern states, but in fact to prepare for military rations and transportation for Chu, such a military secret, only a few humerus ministers knew.
Wenchen's words were sharp and indignant, and the generals were so angry that they jumped to their feet, eager to drink their blood and sleep their skins immediately!
In short, all the ministers agreed on the same opinion, that is, they must immediately send troops to Xichu to destroy the arrogant country that does not know what to do in one fell swoop!
In the mouths of the ministers, the originally worthless little sheep instantly turned into an unforgivable disciple!
Jing Heng looked at the courtiers below who were like opening a pot, and his expression did not fluctuate!
When he inadvertently set his eyes on Jing Yao, he found that he was speechless, Jing Yao knew that his current identity was embarrassing, and it was not appropriate to talk about state affairs, so after echoing a few words, he didn't say more, but he heard early in the morning that Yun Rong was involved in Jiang Yuan's escape from the palace, and he was imprisoned, and his heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know the details. Only an old fox like Meng Yan knew that it was Jing Heng's strategy to capture and indulge, in order to become famous!
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, the ministers agreed on the same opinion, Jing Heng knew that it was time for him to express his position, so he got up and stood in front of the case, and said firmly to the ministers: "Zhong Aiqing, I have made up my mind, and the ministers listen to the order!" ”
"Wait for Your Majesty's dispatch!" Bow down in unison,
"The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War are fully engaged in the preparation of military food and equipment, and Meng Yan is fully responsible for logistics scheduling!"
"Your Ministers obey!" Meng Yan and the two Shangshu Qi Dao,
"Where is the General of the Twelve Guards of Gyeonggi!"
"The minister is here!"
"The six guards of Yulin, Xiao and Wuhou, and Wuhou will stay in Beijing, and the other six generals will go south!"
"Yes!" The sound of the generals is like a bell, ringing through the court, they have not been in battle for a long time, one by one eager to try, extremely excited!
As for the six guards who stayed, they were quite regretful, Xiao Wei was the most powerful army of the twelve guards except for the Wu Wei, but they were not sent to the battlefield, Mu Ying was very depressed, and Shen stood behind with this face, like a piece of wood.
Jing Heng then arranged various matters, and after hearing this, the ministers were a little uneasy, what was wrong with the emperor's arrangement?
In the end, Meng Yan couldn't help but ask out loud, "Your Majesty, dare to ask who is the commander of the Chu army this time!" ”
Meng Yan finally asked the question that the ministers were most concerned about!
After he finished speaking, the audience was silent, and their thoughts were different!
At this time, Chu Xu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Xichu Xiao'er insulted me too much, and the minister petitioned to set foot on Xichu for His Majesty!" ”
Chu Xu is undoubtedly the best candidate, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne ten years ago, the rebellion between the two kings broke out, and he led the troops to rehabilitate.
After Chu Xu finished speaking, Meng Yan was immediately unhappy, "Lord Chu, you haven't asked about the military for a long time, the reason why Lord Chu was able to quell the rebellion between the two kings back then was that there was Yunhan as a military advisor, so this time, which military advisor is Lord Chu going to take to the expedition?" Meng Yan asked nonchalantly,
"You!" Chu Xu has been in the court for so many years, when has he been provoked in public, even if that person is Meng Yan, he is very annoyed, Meng Yan's words are nothing more than sarcasm that he just took the credit of Yun Han back then, if there is no Yun Han, he will definitely be useless!
"Meng Xiang insulted me too much," Chu Xu shouted angrily, and then said to Jing Heng: "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to give the ministers a chance, let the ministers return to the battlefield again, so that those rats who despise the ministers can open their eyes and take a look!" ”
Meng Yan sneered, he firmly believed that Jing Heng would not let Chu Xu go on the expedition, the Chu family now has a rift with Jing Heng because of the establishment of the crown prince, how could Jing Heng let the tiger return to the mountain and let him take military power to overlook the imperial court!
Meng Yan glanced at Yun Zheng, who was standing not far away, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister!" ”
Jing Heng was a little sleepy by the two of them, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Say!" ”
"Yun Qihua!"
After Meng Yan finished speaking, Yun Zheng instantly raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Heng with a burning look, obviously Meng Yan wanted to recommend Yun Zheng's father, Yun Qihua, the governor of Jiangnan, as the commander!
Yun Zheng was very excited, this is a great opportunity, his father has been the governor of Jiangnan, and he has always had the ambition to go to the battlefield, but he has no chance, if his father can go to the battlefield this time, it will be the best.
Yun Zheng immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, my father wants to go to the battlefield to sweep away the Kou for Your Majesty and unify the mountains and rivers, he is in Jiankang, and it is convenient to drive troops to Xichu, I implore Your Majesty to give your father the opportunity to make meritorious contributions!" ”
At this time, I don't want to fight for when, although he Yun Zheng is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, but his husband is born to defend the country, even if he is a horse leather shroud!
Gu Kaizhi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Meng Xiang's suggestion is very good, it just so happens that the son of the Yun family is on the border of the South China Sea, and he can outflank Western Chu from the north and south!" "The Yun family son he said is Yun Zheng's brother Yun Mu!
"Absolutely not," at this time, the officials of Chu Xu's faction hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Yun Qihua is good at water warfare, this time he will definitely advance by water, if he can't control the overall situation, he can't be the commander of the army!" ”
As soon as the official finished speaking, Yun Zheng's heart sank, which was precisely his father's obvious weakness.
Subsequently, several courtiers came out to debate with each other, but there was no conclusion.
Jing Heng finally rubbed his temples, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled slightly: "What kind of dumb riddle did Zhong Aiqing play with me, don't you understand my intentions in my previous arrangement?" Jing Heng leaned on the royal collapse, looking relaxed and relaxed.
As soon as his voice fell, Meng Yan's heart jumped, just now the Wenchen heard what he meant, and they recommended candidates to each other, but Jing Heng wanted to make it clear, so most of the officials led by Meng Yan knelt down and petitioned one after another:
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Haha!" Jing Heng suddenly slapped the imperial case, laughed loudly, got up and went down two steps, and said loudly: "Okay, Zhongqing, my mind has been decided, and I will drive the royal expedition in person ten days later!" Send troops to attack Chu! ”
"Your Majesty....." The ministers pleaded bitterly,
"Your Majesty, your personal expedition is naturally invincible, but this capital is doing this?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you haven't set up a prince yet, if you go on an expedition, the ministers will never obey!"
"Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been cautious and cautious when he goes on expeditions, and the court and China are not without handsome options, why should Your Majesty risk himself!"
At this time, the opinions of the ministers were very unanimous, from Meng Yan to the servants of the various departments, and no one was willing to agree to him to go on the expedition.
If the emperor's expedition goes smoothly, it is fine, but now that the situation in the capital is unstable, and the emperor is on the expedition, the Chu family will inevitably be ready to move.
If it doesn't go well, it will be even worse, absolute internal and external troubles will be bombarded together, and Dahuan will inevitably change hands!
Even if the ministers of the humerus are desperate, they must stop the emperor from driving the expedition in person!
"Your Majesty refuses, and the ministers can't afford to kneel!" Doctor Yu Shi took the lead in playing tricks, and then followed by a group of officials with a loyal expression that would rather die than obey, and knelt down!
However, Chu Xu seems to think that Jing Heng's approach is good, if he is personally recruited, he will definitely set up a prince to let the prince supervise the country, since he wants to set up a prince, Jing Wenyue is dead again, then there is no doubt that Jing Ren. So he was silent!
Jing Yao has always stayed out of the matter, bowing his head and not saying a word, he is just here to listen to it on weekdays, but he is an idle prince, no courtier really takes him seriously, the reason why he can live so leisurely is that he has always adhered to the purpose of not touching the government, no matter what he does, as long as it is not about Jiangshan Sheji, Jing Heng will spare him, he now has to think carefully about how to get Yun Rong out of the palace, he can't watch her suffer in the palace!
Jing Heng looked at the courtiers who were reluctant to obey with sad faces, a little helpless, he helped his forehead, "Are you worried that I won't be able to destroy Xichu?" ”
"Of course not, Your Majesty will be invincible!" The ministers hurriedly refuted,
"Then you are worried that I will leave the capital, what will happen to the capital?" Jing Heng asked again,
The ministers pouted and stopped talking, isn't it!
"Isn't it you? Of course, I still have to find a prisoner! Jing Heng said very cheerfully,
The ministers looked at him one after another, looking extremely nervous,
"Is Your Majesty going to make a prince?" A courtier weakly asked,
"Haha!" Jing Heng smiled, "My son is still young, and it is naturally not good to supervise the country, okay, Zhong Aiqing, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade again!" Jing Heng restrained his smile and looked solemn,
The ministers pouted and didn't speak!
"After I set out on the expedition, the Seventh Prince, Jing Yao, will be in charge of the country!"
“!!!”
The ministers were shocked! Even Chu Xu, who has always been calm, is not calm, he can stuff eggs when he opens his mouth! (To be continued.) )
