At the court meeting in mid-July, the imperial court officially announced that Xue Huaiyi, the Duke of Hubei, would lead the army to conquer the Turks, and the north and south yamen would gather the 17 road chiefs, and the first soldiers would be recruited in August, and the north would be marched north in September.

Compared with the previous military discussion, it was only changed to the original Shuofang Road march to Daibei Dao, and Shi Shi, the governor of the Metropolitan Prefecture of Bingzhou, and Wang Wu Youyi of Jian'an were the deputy commanders of the North Road march.

Not to mention how everyone in the court reacted to this resolution, the kings of the Wu clan couldn't help but celebrate with their crowns.

"The army of the Northern Ya is fundamental to the safety of Ouchi, and it cannot be taken lightly. Even if Nanya is half-out, it is not enough to become a general trend. Hebei wants to make a new recruitment, and it is inevitable that things will be unfamiliar. The Suyue army that the king has ordered will be among the conscriptions! ”

Unlike the courtiers who had many feelings and complicated attitudes towards this expedition, the reason why Wu Sansi strongly supported this proposal was also simple and clear. The first is what His Majesty the Holy Emperor means, and the second is to reintegrate their martial arts' control over the North and South Ya.

Xue Huaiyi's dispatch of troops this time could not only weaken the strength of Nanya in Jinei, but also provide an excuse to immediately relieve him of his military power after the return of the king to the capital. Even if the acting king can still keep a thousand horsemen, the three thousand newly recruited Heluo Jian'er can no longer be in his hands.

If there is one point of dissatisfaction, it is that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has also introduced Wu Youyi, who is in the state, into this campaign. Because of the entanglement between the old years and the acting king, Wu Youyi and their martial arts disciples gradually drifted apart, and there were many discords with each other.

But this is also a helpless thing, the kings of their Wu clan have been in the center for a long time, and there are not many people who really have experience in foreign affairs. Moreover, Wu Youyi's appointment is also on this journey, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor wants to promote their Wu clan's military exploits, and it is also appropriate to choose Wu Youyi.

Wu Sansi does not have the same deep obsession with the heir of the Great Commander as his cousin Wu Chenghe, he is more concerned about the power and wealth he enjoys at the moment. Therefore, for the case of the emperor's rebellion, which is still ongoing, his attention is not so high.

Whether the imperial heir is against it or not, he is just a caged bird in the forbidden place forced by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

However, many actions of the acting king Wu Ji in the current situation, whether it is in the government affairs of the court or in the forbidden army, have gradually gained a stable foothold, and there is a deep-rooted posture that is difficult to get rid of, which makes Wu Sansi very angry, and even difficult to sleep.

Therefore, when discussing with the subordinates around him, Wu Sansi always regarded the acting king as the number one enemy who threatened their martial arts position.

As soon as the plan for the northern march was confirmed, Wu Sansi began to recall the acting king to the court and relieve him of his military power.

It's not difficult to do this, the king of the Dynasty used soldiers to Songyang Road, which is where is, and the biggest significance is to clean up the surrounding chaos and bees in order to seal Songshan Mountain in the future, and there is no big enemy who must be heavily recruited for a long time.

Regarding this point, the only thing that needs to be concerned is that the acting king does not want to give up his military power, and Jinyan will garrison the Suyue army in Songshan for a long time.

Once this happens, although there is no pain in the skin of being directly stationed in Shendu, but the Songshan Mountains are near Gyeonggi, and there is such an uncontrolled army stationed there, which is also like a fish in the throat, which makes people unreassured.

Therefore, Wu Sansi instructed Yousi to speed up the preparations for the ceremony before the sealing of Zen with the post of the official Shangshu of Chun, and at the same time asked if there were any traces of bandits around Songshan through the book under the political hall.

At the same time, he also sent a letter to Wu Youxu, the king of Anping, who was still in the Suyue army, and asked him to enter the imperial court and ask for the class to return to the court as soon as possible.

Through such a multi-pronged approach, the acting king no longer had an excuse to lead the army outside and linger, and returned to the court to meet his embarrassing situation.

Of course, if it was just to deprive the acting king of his military power, it would not satisfy Wu Sansi. He knew very well that this kid was deeply rooted, and he had no power in the old years, so he dared to make trouble, and now he has a group of party members, and it is difficult to suppress ordinary setbacks.

Therefore, Wu Sansi was also very patient, and after arranging the matter of recalling the acting king back to the court, he signaled to Lai Junchen to drag Yangzhou Governor Shi Ge Fuyuan into the case through Yangzhou Sima Sugui in the process of investigating the emperor's rebellion.

After these foreshadowing was completed, one day in early August, after the early dynasty, Wu Sansi summoned Fangqing, the king of Wenchang Zuocheng, into the political hall.

When Wang Fangqing came to the political affairs hall, Wu Sansi did not make false greetings, and said directly to Wang Fangqing: "A few days ago, many officials of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were involved in the case. However, this year's situation is different from the past, first there are Caoqu and other things to innovate and eliminate evil, and now there is a military service to replace the north.

Whether the taxes and goods in Jiangnan can arrive in the Shendu as scheduled is the top priority of whether the affairs of the imperial court can be maintained. Yangzhou is the top priority of the canal, once the transshipment and scheduling are inappropriate, the harm is so great that people dare not think deeply. Wang Zuocheng is based in the court, and he has a lot of experience in all things, I don't know what you think about this? ”

Wang Fangqing knew that Wu Sansi must have been unkind, but when he heard him say this, he still couldn't help but slander again and again, since he knew that Yangzhou was so important and related to the maintenance of the national economy, then you still instructed the Criminal Division to do so many things!

Although there was a lot of resentment in his heart, Wang Fangqing still took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yangzhou has a long history, has a long history inside and outside, has deep prestige, and is honest in Yangzhou. or be disturbed by the investigation of the criminal department for a while, and want to be able to distinguish the importance of the national budget and private plans, and will not abolish the public because of private affairs. Now that there is no judgment in the criminal case, whether the person should be judged or not is not only harmful to the national economy, but also inevitably hurts the morale of the people! ”

Wang Fangqing pointed to Sang's response to scolding Huai, Wu Sansi naturally heard it, and after hearing this, he just smiled and continued: "What Wang Zuocheng said is honestly serious. But whether Ge Fuyuan is involved or not, I can't say for sure, presumably Wang Zuocheng, you don't dare to guarantee your life. Yangzhou Caoyun is related to the national economy, how can it be fake in one person's discipline! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Sansi's face also became serious: "I made an appointment with Wang Zuocheng in the hall today, not to discuss with you whether Ge Fuyuan should be brought into the court, but to ask you if you have any recommendations for Yangzhou." To tell the truth, the day before yesterday, the political affairs hall was discussed, and Yang Xianggong of Luantai recommended Wang Zuocheng to go south to succeed him, and Xianggong of Fengge Dou Lu was also quite interested.

However, I have a different opinion on this. Although Yangzhou is indeed important, but after all, what is happening is only a corner of the aspect, if this is the case, the DPRK and China are not the only ones who can do this. And Wang Zuocheng, your new affairs Wenchangtai, the job is not the same way, and those who can read through it comprehensively are the great talents who are lacking in the DPRK and the Central Committee. The government hall now lacks the breadth of public opinion, and there is an urgent need to select talents to confer ......"

After finishing speaking, Wu Sansi stared at Wang Fangqing seriously, waiting for his answer, with no lack of expectation in his eyes.

He felt that he was already full of sincerity, and he didn't care about the old relationship between Wang Fangqing and the acting king, and was willing to recommend Wang Fangqing to enter the political hall as the prime minister, and at the same time in exchange for Wang Fangqing to recommend his people to Yangzhou to take office.

After all, the reform of Cao Shi is the focus of attention of the masses in the DPRK and China today, and Baisi relies on it a lot. If there is no insider as a breakthrough, it is difficult for Wu Sansi to get involved rashly.

Wu Sansi had already said it so explicitly, how could Wang Fangqing not understand it, and only after pondering for a long time did he raise his head and say: "Wenchangtai, who is a lowly officer, has already realized that he is a small person and a big burden, but he is diligent and diligent, so as to live up to his kindness." His Royal Highness King Liang asked such an important matter, and he was even more timid to speak. ”

Hearing this answer, Wu Sansi's face suddenly sank, and he took a deep breath before he said again: "How can you be devoted to a single thought when discussing major matters." Wang Zuocheng, you don't have to say it too early, summoning you today is just a little weighed by myself. In fact, there is no shortage of courtiers who have the ability to discuss the affairs of the king, only because of the limitation of the ministry can not do their work, if they can be added to the governor of Yangzhou to serve Tiannan, it must be beneficial to the governor. ”

Wang Fangqing also changed abruptly after hearing this, his eyes were full of worry, but he just didn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Wu Sansi could only wave his hand to let him withdraw from the political hall, and when he left, his face suddenly became gloomy: "The southerners are short-sighted and narrow-minded, and they think that they are the best to serve the king of the king, which is really ridiculous!" ”

After returning to Wenchangtai, Wang Fangqing was still preoccupied. Wu Sansi's words made him realize that the court situation had entered an extremely sinister rhythm again. What he says may not be true, but it cannot be said that it is completely true.

The emptiness of the political hall is already seen by everyone. Recently, there have been frequent discussions in Xiantai, and the new right Taichung Cheng Zhou Yunyuan has directly impeached Prime Minister Li Zhaode, who has been in Xijing for a long time.

Although both sides can be regarded as ministers who support the imperial heir Li Dan, especially Li Zhaode's deeds for the imperial heir in the past few years are obvious to all, but under this great wish, it is inevitable that everyone has their own plans.

Now the situation in the DPRK and China can be described as falling apart, not only on the side of the emperor's heirs, but even on the side of the acting king.

Wu Sansi said that someone in the DPRK proposed to let the acting king go south to Yangzhou, which was not pure intimidation at all. Shi Li Jingyi, the acting governor of the royal palace, has been too active recently, building momentum for his brother Li Yuanyuan to return to the dynasty to compete for a seat in the political hall.

This practice directly affected the attitude of the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, such as Yang Zaisi, the prime minister who had a good relationship, but recently his attitude has become ambiguous, and the degree of cooperation with Wang Fangqing's entry into Chen Zhushi is not as high as before. Obviously, this is to have regarded the people on the side of the king as a potential competitor.

Moreover, Li Jingyi's overly high-profile way of doing things also made some Jiangnan people on behalf of the king, including Wang Fangqing, dissatisfied.

They Jiangnan people are acting as kings, operating all things in Caoyun, which can be said to be contributing people and sending Jiangnan people's capital to help the national economy, in order to complement each other, but not to squeeze the blood of the people in Jiangnan to lay the ladder for others!

Wang Fangqing avoided King Liang's wooing, not because he was high-spirited and didn't want to enter the political hall. But he knows that compared with the acting king, King Liang is greatly inferior in terms of mind and talent, once he switches to King Liang for the position of prime minister, it is to sell the township capital in order to seek vanity, and the reform of Caoyun will become a barnyard government under the interference of King Liang.

However, some of the recent practices of the acting king also made Wang Fangqing a little unpredictable. Yao Xuan of Bianzhou sent people to tell him that the price of grain on both sides of the canal and canal has soared recently, and a large amount of private capital has been used to purchase grain, which can be traced back to the acting king.

Although Wang Fangqing downplayed the matter in Wenchangtai on the pretext of military ration delivery, the acting king did not explain the reason to him in detail. Contacting King Liang's undisguised malice to the acting king, Wang Fangqing was also shocked and suspicious of this, and did not dare to think deeply.

Maybe he thinks more sinisterly, but if the truth is as Wang Fangqing does, then he thinks that the temporary withdrawal of the acting king from the center is not necessarily a bad thing.

With weapons in hand, the courage is self-fattening, but the current chances of winning the king are almost nil. Previously, in order to seek a political hall, it was not possible to do so, so I had to retreat to the second. The 5,000 Suyue army is far less than half of the Northern Ya, and it is really not enough to bring about any qualitative changes.

No matter how strong the momentum of Jinnai is, but once out of two capitals, those who are in charge of the states, who has been the king of Enwei?
