Chapter 676: Confrontation in the Court!
The whole book, the fastest update to win the latest chapter!
Lu Zheng chatted with the ministers one by one, and Emperor Xinde suddenly summoned the ministers to meet them.
The ministers went to the palace, Emperor Xinde sat on the high dragon chair, the companion Feng Gonggong stood on the side, the sandalwood lingered under the dragon seat, Emperor Xinde rarely wore the dragon court clothes, put on the crown, and the whole temperament changed.
When all the ministers entered the hall, they all knelt down and bowed, saying: "See Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said: "Calm down, Zhuqing has worked hard recently, since I came to Jiangnan, Jiangshan Sheji has had all kinds of troubles, the troubles of traitors in Liaodong, the troubles of traitors in Longyou, at present, I Dakang only exist in Shandong and Beijing in the north, and all other regions are in the hands of traitors!"
Today, I sit in the court to listen to the government, just to listen to the opinions of all of you, Aiqing, everyone to the country, the society to calculate, say whatever you want, I listen carefully, how about it? ”
Emperor Xinde said this, all the ministers look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to talk about it. There are too many problems in Dakang now, how to say it is not easy to explain it clearly for a while, besides, even if you see these problems, how to solve them? With the current situation in Dakang, can it be solved?
In addition, there is the most important point, that is, the ministers are muttering in their hearts, I don't know why Emperor Xinde suddenly asked about this, what does Your Majesty think in his heart? What is he going to do?
In the past few decades, Emperor Xinde's actions and behaviors have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The courtiers all know that His Majesty has worked hard to cultivate the truth of immortals, and it is just incidental to the government, and it is often just a whim. Just like today, Emperor Xinde suddenly changed into a costume, and everyone felt awkward and uncomfortable, in their memory, they had not been to the court for a long time.
Except for a few people such as Duan Lintang, many of the old ministers present have not even seen Emperor Xinde sitting in the court in person, for example, Lu Zheng is attending the court meeting for the first time today. I have to say that this is a sarcasm, the biggest irony since the founding of the Dakang Dynasty more than 100 years ago.
The courtiers were dumbfounded, and Emperor Xinde's face was a little ugly, and he said, "You are all the pillars of my great kang?" I let you speak freely, why are you so cowering?
Duan Aiqing, you say it first! You're the prime minister, start first! “
Duan Tanglin took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority at the moment should be to defend Jiangnan first, Jiangnan can't be defenseless, so the reconstruction of the Nanfu Army is imminent!" Jiangnan is not guarded, the people's hearts are unstable, please Your Majesty must arrange the issue of the Jiangnan Nanfu Army, which is related to the stability of the people's hearts and the prosperity of the country's fortunes! ”
Emperor Xinde nodded and said, "Duan Xiang is reasonable, I have already received the proposal to rebuild the Nanfu Army, and I have been thinking about this issue for a long time!" As the saying goes, if you want to know the soldiers, you must first choose a general, and the position of the governor of the Nanfu Army is particularly important, since Duan Qing mentioned this issue, I also think that this matter is imminent and urgent, how about we discuss it today? ”
Emperor Xinde said this, there is a lot of noise below, at this time to choose the governor of the Nanfu Army? This is the most controversial thing in recent times!
The governor of the Nanfu army is very important, the position is too important, and now all forces are wrestling around this issue, mainly because the tacit understanding between His Majesty and the Jiangnan power lord does not seem to have reached yet, in this case, the question of the candidate for the Nanfu army is really difficult to determine suddenly.
Now Emperor Xinde suddenly raised the issue of the selection of generals in the Nanfu army, could it be that he has already had a tacit understanding with the Jiangnan lords? Subconsciously, many people turned their attention to Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng was also confused, but he set off a lot of waves in his heart.
He knew in his heart that Emperor Xinde had put on such a big battle today, it was to have a showdown on some issues, and it came very suddenly, Lu Zheng suddenly realized that he was the only one who represented the power lord in Jiangnan today, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that His Majesty is still that Majesty, everywhere is attentive, calculating people in a silent place. It's just that even so, will the selection of today's general of the Nanfu Army be satisfactory to all parties?
Emperor Xinde threw out a question, and immediately asked the courtiers to recommend, Duan Tanglin was the first to speak, he said: "The military of Nanfu is very important, and the important minister should be the leader of it, and the minister thinks that it is most appropriate for Jin Wannian, the secretary of the military department, to serve as the governor of the capital, Lord Jin is old and heavy, and the troops are well trained, and the Nanfu army will definitely be able to grow rapidly under his leadership, so as to smoothly defend the stability of my Jiangnan!" ”
Duan Tanglin's words immediately echoed him, but it was Duan Zheng of the Duan clan who was waiting for a few Lang Zhong, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange! At this moment, it is obvious that Jin Wannian, the secretary of the military department, has been pushed to the forefront, and the current situation is indeed only Jin Wannian is the most appropriate, and it seems that there are not too many objections to this candidate.
But is that really the case? Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed slowly, he had already seen the Duan family's current strategy from this incident, the Duan family was now close to Emperor Xinde, and the two sides already had a considerable tacit understanding, and Jin Wannian must also have a tacit understanding with Duan Tanglin, and the courtiers had already diverged.
In fact, this is very normal, because Emperor Xinde's style of acting is like this, he absolutely cannot tolerate the dominance of one party, his favorite drama is to divide the forces, let the forces of the DPRK and China fight, and then have some kind of balance, on this basis, he is in the middle, so as to grasp the initiative.
Obviously, now the Duan family is ready to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, but they are not ready to rely on the Jiangnan power lord, but they are going to hug Emperor Xinde's thigh. What about today's proceedings? Could it be that Jin Wannian really became the governor of the Nanfu Army so easily?
Many people subconsciously set their eyes on Lu Zheng, because Lu Zheng is now the leader of the Jiangnan authorities, and if the Jiangnan authorities want to fight back on this occasion, he should raise his arms and shout.
But the subtle part is that Lu Zheng is not high in official rank on this occasion today, at least there are a few prime ministers in front of him! Duan Tanglin has spoken, but it is not his turn yet, the left step of the Zuo family has not spoken yet!
Is the Zuo family also very tacit with Emperor Xinde? This question is also a question in everyone's minds, Lu Zheng lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was quietly waiting for something.
Zuo Dai didn't speak, the atmosphere in the court was a little cold, Emperor Xinde sat on the dragon chair, his eyes wandered, looked around, and said, "What's wrong?" Do you have no objections? ”
He looked at the left step and said, "Zuo Xiang, why didn't you speak today?" ”
Zuo Jiedao: "Back to Your Majesty, about military affairs, the ministers really don't know much, so they don't dare to say anything, if Your Majesty needs to advise the ministers on government affairs, the ministers will definitely speak up, and do their best for the country and the society!" ”
Emperor Xinde laughed and said, "Good Zuo Xiang, you are humble enough, okay, since you don't say it, you have no objection!" Did everyone present have no objections? Is it time for me to make a decision on this? ”
When Emperor Xinde said this, his eyes fell on Lu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, but Lu Zheng still lowered his head and didn't say a word. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also secretly glanced at Lu Zheng and wanted to see what Lu Zheng's attitude was, but Lu Zheng had no intention of speaking after all, it seemed that he was also satisfied with the candidate of Emperor Xinde, and had no objection.
And just when everyone was confused by Lu Zheng's attitude, someone in the hall suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Duan Xiang's proposal is inappropriate!" Jin Shangshu is the secretary of the military department, and he is also the governor of the Nanfu army as the secretary of the military department.
At present, Dakang is not only in Jiangnan, nor is there only an army in Jiangnan, there are twelve guards in the capital are still there, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still working hard to supervise the country and sacrifice for the country!
In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Qi in Shandong has just driven out the traitors from Liaodong for the country, and he also has an army under him that can fight well! If Jin Shangshu becomes the leader of the Nanfu Army, how will they come to see our imperial court?
Did the court really give them up? So that they have become traitors too? ”
As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar, everyone looked at the person who spoke, it was Cao Weiming, after Cao Weiming's speech, Zhao Chongqian immediately rushed out and said: "Weichen thinks that Cao Shangshu said and even makes sense!" I can't just lead a military governor, so I have no peace with me! ”
The two Shangshu objected, and the situation instantly became delicate, and Jin Wannian, the secretary of the military department, also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that this is inappropriate!" Although the Nanfu Army is important, let Weichen serve as the governor of the Nanfu Army will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary suspicion and trouble, so Weichen also thinks it is inappropriate! ”
At a critical time, Jin Wannian retreated by himself, and when it comes to the reason, it is naturally very simple, if he serves as the governor of the Nanfu Army and asks him to give up the position of the secretary of the military department, it is obvious that he will definitely not be willing.
Or some people say that the governor of the Nanfu Army has real military power in his hands, and the military department is just a vacant position, which of the two seats is more important, doesn't Jin Wannian know?
Of course, Jin Wannian knew that most of the governors of the Nanfu Army had real power, but he knew that the real power of the Nanfu Army was in the hands of the Jiangnan powerholders, and the Jiangnan powerhouses would never hand over the military power to Jin Wannian. On the territory of Jiangnan, he is not afraid of Jin Wannian's high ability, and the Jiangnan power lord has countless ways to make him obey!
Therefore, Jin Wannian served as the governor of the Jiangnan Nanfu Army, and he must be just an empty shelf, since it is all an empty shelf, why doesn't he serve as the secretary of the military department? In Shangshu's position, maybe one day His Majesty will send him to rebuild an army! At that time, when Jin Wannian returns to Shandong, won't the dragon return to the sea?
The scene exploded, the three Shangshu objected, and Emperor Xinde's proposal lost the basis for implementation, the scene was very embarrassing, Emperor Xinde's face was very gloomy, and the other courtiers were secretly funny in their hearts.
At this point, they realized that there was no tacit understanding between Emperor Xinde and the Jiangnan authorities, and what Emperor Xinde did today was wishful thinking, but his wishful thinking, Lu Zheng did not act at all, and he himself collapsed, which shows how interesting the situation in Jiangnan is, and Emperor Xinde's control of Dakang has become unbearable.
Emperor Xinde was a clever man, and in the early days of his reign, he was able to quickly seize power, and at that time the whole Dakang thought that he would be a master.
However, Emperor Xinde used decades of abandoned government to tell the subjects of Dakang how unreliable he was. No matter how talented the emperor is, his mind is not on government affairs, and over time, it will naturally cause people's hearts to be disheartened, and it will naturally cause distrust from others.
And no matter how superb the means of scheming, the emperor's mental skills are the most powerful, in the face of facts and people's hearts, these methods and mental skills are just small ways, and Emperor Xinde's methods are powerful, but his sons have really become a big mess in the world now. Even his sons have lost hope in him, can they still count on the subjects of the world to continue to guarantee their trust in him?
Duan Tanglin's face was also very ugly, originally he had made up his mind to break his wrist with Lu Zheng today! With this, he can establish his prestige in Jiangnan, so that all forces in Jiangnan know that the Duan family from the capital has the courage to argue with the Lu family, and with this, he can slowly avoid the situation of the Lu family's dominance.
However, the reality is very cruel, Lu Zheng didn't speak from beginning to end of today's discussion, but Duan Tanglin suffered a major setback, in other words, Duan Tanglin didn't even have a chance to argue with Lu Zheng, his ambition was all humiliated now.
Emperor Xinde snorted coldly and said: "The Nanfu army of Dakang can't be without generals all the time, if the Nanfu army can't be built because of the inability to choose the future, it will be a big joke, and it will really make the world laugh!" ”
"Cao Weiming, do you think Jin Shangshu is not the right person, do you have a suitable person?" Emperor Xinde asked.
Cao Weiming said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Weichen has no suitable candidate for the time being!" ”
"Zhao Chongqian!"
Zhao Chongqian took a step forward, bowed and said, "Weichen has no suitable candidate!" ”
Emperor Xinde asked Zuo Jie, as well as a few others, and the answers he got were all the same, he really couldn't help it, he stood up angrily, pointed at the ministers below, and trembled with anger:
"You are ashamed to be the pillar of the country, you are so disappointed to me, is it possible that I am a great Kang Jiangshan Sheji, such a vast territory, so many outstanding people, and no one can be qualified for the position of the leader of the Nanfu Army?
There are so many of you, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, all corpse vegetarian meals, all ...... It's all ...... It's all ......" Emperor Xinde said three times in a row for the last time, but he didn't know how to scold anymore.
He scolded, panting, the ministers below all lowered their eyebrows, no one spoke, the atmosphere did not come out, he scolded for a while, he was really tired, he raised his hand lightly, sat down down, I don't know how long it took, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Lu Zheng, you didn't say a word today, what is the reason for this? Let's talk about it today, you are the most appropriate person to serve as the governor of Dakang's Nanfu Army? ”
