Chapter 511: Transfer back to Jinling City
"And Cai Shangshu has always been talking about the mistakes of His Royal Highness King Xing, so why not mention the achievements made by His Royal Highness King Xing? When His Royal Highness King Xing served as the assassin of Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou was under the governance of His Royal Highness King Xing, rectifying the rule of officials, exterminating thieves in various places, so that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and united with the general firm to build workshops and mines in various parts of Jiangzhou, and how much credit did we make for Dachen! We can flip through the records, Jiangzhou under the rule of His Royal Highness King Xing is many times better than Jiangzhou under the rule of Cai Shangshu's missing relative! Zhang Hua, who had been prepared, continued to sneer at Cai Jingli.
"At the beginning, because of Zhang Dabao's treason, the Zhang family was implicated, and King Xing was punished by His Majesty and was transferred out of Jiangzhou, but in this matter, King Xing also had to speak for the Zhang family, after all, Princess Xing was the daughter of the Zhang family! In addition, His Royal Highness King Xing did not dislike General Xiao's background, but had a discerning eye and took the initiative to call him a brother and brother, so that we discovered a young and promising general like General Xiao for Da Chen, which shows that His Royal Highness King Xing is a person who values love and righteousness and knows people and makes good use of them! Since Cai Shangshu has already made his words clear, then I will also say a big rebellious word in front of Your Majesty! In the past few years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been the assistant government, and I don't think he has achieved such an achievement as His Royal Highness King Xing! Zhang Hua said directly to the prince's vital point.
Sure enough, after being compared by Zhang Hua like this, the balance in Chen Xu's heart was more inclined to Chen Shuling's side!
Although Chen Shuling's misdeeds in Xiangzhou caused the people to complain, this could not cover up his previous achievements in Jiangzhou! And because Chen Shuling spoke for the Zhang family, Chen Xu, who was extremely angry about Xiao Yao's defeat and disrupted his Northern Expedition deployment, rushed to Xiangzhou, which was even more remote! In fact, when Chen Xu calmed down, this incident made Chen Xu feel very guilty, and now that Zhang Dabao has been executed by Xiao Yao, Xuzhou has been recovered, and the goal of the second phase of Chen Guo's Northern Expedition has been completed, there is no reason to continue to be angry with Chen Shuling!
"If King Xing is to be transferred back to Jinling, what position should he be put in?" Chen Xu, who had been listening to their arguments all the time and didn't talk much, suddenly asked out loud.
"Your Majesty is going to decide to transfer His Royal Highness King Xing back to Jinling?" The crowd asked.
"Although the transfer of King Xing back will definitely cause the conflict between their brothers to intensify, but Zhang Hua is right, I must take advantage of the fact that I still have energy and time to deal with this matter in advance, otherwise it will definitely cause a catastrophe in the future!" Chen Xu said worriedly.
After all, he also ascended to the throne by launching a coup d'état, so he knows how tempting the throne is for those royal princes who have the strength to compete for the throne, so if he doesn't deal with the contradictions between these two brothers in advance, when he dies in the future, he will definitely let these two brothers fight for the throne and kill each other!
"Since His Majesty has decided to transfer His Royal Highness King Xing back to Jinling, then Weichen will no longer argue about anything, but I suggest that in the appointment of His Royal Highness King Xing, it is better not to let him take up too important positions all of a sudden, after all, everything must be done step by step, if His Royal Highness King Xing just came back and let him take up a high-ranking and powerful position in the court, it will definitely make His Royal Highness King Xingwang arrogant and carried away! This hurts him! Cai Jingli took a step forward and said compromisedly.
"Well, it does! Let him know that I transferred him back not to promote him vigorously, but to give him a chance to give him a chance to show his abilities! But whether he can seize this opportunity depends on his ability! Chen Xu also nodded and said.
"Weichen suggested that His Royal Highness King Xing could be appointed as the military governor of Yang, Xu, Dongyang, and Nanyu, Yangzhou Assassin History, Jiashizhong, Jinhao Zhennan General, and Yuci advocated one! In this way, although these are not high-ranking positions, compared to the current position of His Royal Highness King Xing, it can also be regarded as a promotion, and it can also be regarded as a plan to let His Royal Highness King Xing return to Jinling City, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds! Another minister suggested.
"Good! Do what you say! Chen Xu said with some joy, because he was inexplicably excited when he thought that his favorite son was going to return to his side.
"Since Your Majesty has decided to stir up His Royal Highness, although it may cause some small waves, it is also a matter of great joy for everyone! Therefore, Weichen suggested that His Majesty should also reward General Shi Xiao of Xuzhou who made this suggestion! Zhang Hua continued, since His Majesty has decided to transfer Chen Shuling back to Jinling City, it is naturally his turn to take credit for Xiao Yao!
"His Majesty has appointed him as the assassin of Xuzhou before, and he has become a member of the party that oversees the military and politics of Xuzhou, and even a veteran like Lu Guangda has to become his subordinate, is he still not satisfied? What other official position do you want him to have? Cai Jingli continued to speak.
"Hehe, do you all know that General Lu is General Xiao's subordinate? But do you know that General Lu is a general Renwei who is a quasi-fourth-grade, a rank of 2,000 stones, while General Xiao is only a quasi-sixth-grade, a general Weilie who is more than a thousand stones! A person whose military quality is lower than his own, but he has become his boss, and a sixth-rank general wants to command a fourth-rank general, are you humiliating General Xiao or General Lu? Zhang Hua retorted.
"Now Xuzhou has become the land of our Dachen, and it is also a place adjacent to the Qi country, the status is very important, if the general who guards there is just a miscellaneous general, how will the people of Xuzhou who have newly returned to our Dachen feel in their hearts? They must think that in His Majesty's heart, Xuzhou is not important, and it is the same as Qi State's attitude towards Xuzhou, it is also a dispensable place, which is not conducive to our rule over the people of Xuzhou! Zhang Hua continued to analyze.
"And let a six-grade miscellaneous general be the assassin of Xuzhou, this will only make people laugh! So we should give General Xiao a promotion! Weichen suggested that since His Majesty has made His Royal Highness King Xing the General of Zhennan, then I beg Your Majesty to make General Xiao the General of Pingbei, so as to show Your Majesty's wisdom in rewarding and punishing clearly, and also make the world feel that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the land of Xuzhou and Huaibei! And it can also make General Xiao feel the importance that His Majesty attaches to him, presumably General Xiao will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's commendation, and swear allegiance to His Majesty! Zhang Hua said exaggeratedly.
"I just appointed Xiao Shilang as the assassin of Xuzhou before, but I forgot that he was still a miscellaneous general, and I didn't expect that a young miscellaneous general would be the credit of those great generals! In the past, if our Chen army was able to recover the land of Yizhou, we must use veterans such as Wu Mingche and Huang Faqu to lead tens of thousands of troops to be competent, but now this Xiao Shilang only led a force of 5,000 people at that time, and he dared to go north to reinforce Lu Guangda, and also recovered Huaibei in one fell swoop! This merit is indeed worthy of giving him the title of General Pingbei! Chen Xu, who was in a good mood because of Chen Shuling's matter, also temporarily forgot Xiao Yao's various disobedience and confrontation with him!
"Good! Then I will promote Xiao Shilang to the general of Pingbei! Chen Xu said proudly, then his tone changed, and he said with a wicked smile: "But his various treatments, such as his salary, households, and rewards, are all unchanged!" ”
