Chapter 323: Nine Provinces Rule
After listening to Meng Ming's words, the Emperor Taishang looked very angry on his face, in fact, he had already received a secret report just now, and he knew the scene in the palace, and the civil and military officials in the entire hall. Only Jia Ke and Meng Ming have always supported themselves, and the others are either doing nothing or completely turning to the emperor.
And what hurt him the most was the betrayal of King Beijing, who originally wanted his son to inherit his father's business and take charge of the forbidden army, but he didn't expect this to be a white-eyed wolf, he made an exception to let him inherit the throne, and finally he betrayed himself and threw himself on the emperor's side.
The Emperor Taishang has decided to cut through the mess quickly and stop playing with these people, what kind of conspiracy. It is necessary to use great strength to subdue all these opponents of their own people.
The Emperor Taishang looked at the emperor standing next to him with deep eyes, which made the emperor tremble with fright, and he thought that the emperor was going to abolish him.
But it's also to blame him for making too much trouble during this time, although this emperor has some ability. If you can survive peacefully until the death of the Emperor Taishang, you can control the real power. is also a generation of promising masters, but it's a pity that his character is too strong and he doesn't know how to forbear. I also didn't see the current situation clearly.
As if he was very angry, the Emperor stood up abruptly and pushed all the things on the imperial case to the ground, frightening the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
After the Emperor Taishang finished venting, he sat on the throne again and directly ordered: "From now on, King Beijing has thought about it at home, and he will never participate in the affairs of the court without my will." ”
King Beijing hurriedly went out of work and knelt on the ground, and kept thanking the Emperor Taishang's Long En, who didn't know how much reward he had received.
However, in Jia Ke's opinion, King Beijing did get the reward of the Emperor Taishang, and the Emperor Taishang is now old and soft-hearted, thinking that if he was young, King Beijing would be given death.
After the Emperor Taishang dealt with this matter, he glared at Lei Ying with his eyes. Lei Ying was now expressionless, waiting for the final verdict, he was not afraid in his heart now, because he thought that what he did was right, if he didn't rectify the border court, the forces of the imperial court would be corrupted.
But after the Emperor Taishang glared at Lei Ying fiercely, he turned his head away. Because the emperor knows that Lei Ying is a capable person who knows military affairs among the ministers, I am afraid that he is alone, and his loyalty to the court is needless to say, he will definitely be a pillar of the court in the future, and he can't lose a loyal minister for the country because of his momentary selfishness. It's better to hang him there first, and leave it for the emperor to use after he dies in the future.
The Emperor Taishang calmed down his mood for a moment, then stood up and walked to the imperial case, and said to the bottom with his hands behind his back: "The nine sides really need to be rectified. Who are you talking about? ”
When Lei Ying saw that the Emperor Taishang asked this, he thought that the Emperor Taishang still cared about the emperor's face, so he compromised with the emperor, so his eyes brightened.
And the emperor standing on the imperial stairs was also excited at this time, he thought that the emperor had no ambition, and wanted to completely hand over the military power to him, and then retreat to the harem to retire.
But they all guessed wrong, as long as the lion king is not defeated, he will never give up his right to rule, and the current emperor is the same.
Lei Ying, as the initiator of this matter, immediately stood up and played: "The ministers are going to let the prince of the Jingying Festival go to inspect the nine sides, and ask the emperor for permission." ”
Emperor Taishang stood there and thought about it, and he could only let him go, the prince Tengjiu was in the army, and he was very clear about those things in the army, and he was a member of the Xungui group, and he also knew the specific situation of the nine sides very well. It is not like a Leng Touqing, who will be desperately rectified when he goes, and I am afraid that it will provoke a mutiny at that time.
The Emperor Taishang actually knew about the shortcomings of the Nine Sides for a long time, but he didn't dare to rectify it, because these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals are almost unable to eat now, and if they don't let them think of some ways to pay for their salaries, I'm afraid they will all mutiny a long time ago. That is, the emperor and Lei Ying, one does not understand the situation, and although the other understands the situation, he is too upright, and he has to die to rectify it, but he does not know the danger, and a slight touch may make the world re-unstable.
After thinking about this, the Emperor Taishang said to the following: "Has the prince been here?" Stand up. ”
Wang Ziteng heard the call of the emperor, his heart felt fluttering, just now he stood in the class silently, in the emperor's eyes is already on the verge of betrayal, now the emperor called himself out, is not to settle the account.
But Wang Ziteng didn't dare to resist, so he hurriedly came out of work, knelt down in the middle and bowed to the Emperor: "Prince Teng, I've seen the Emperor, long live long live, long live." ”
"I ask you, what would you do if you were asked to patrol the nine sides?" Emperor Taishang asked directly, for Wang Ziteng's performance just now, the Emperor Taishang was not much disappointed, and originally thought that after letting him inspect the nine sides, he would replace Lei Ying as the big Sima when he came back, but now it seems that let him stay at the border all the time.
Although Emperor Taishang had decided to exile Wang Ziteng to the border, he was still a little uneasy, afraid that Wang Ziteng would have no experience and toss around, so he wanted to hear Wang Ziteng's own opinion.
Wang Ziteng had already heard the news from all sides that he was asked to inspect the nine sides, and he was not stage frightened at this time: "If the minister inspects the nine sides, he will not take those generals to open the knife, but just find a few small minions and kill them." ”
Wang Ziteng just said this, and Lei Yinglu next to him shouted: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King." You are so derelict in your duties, and you still say it in public, do you still have a little shame in your heart? ”
When the Emperor heard that Lei Ying was speaking on the field again, he shouted angrily at Lei Ying: "You shut up with me, and wait until I ask you before answering, otherwise I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king." ”
Lei Ying saw that the Emperor Taishang was really angry, so he stopped standing aside and was silent.
Wang Ziteng didn't have Lei Ying's interruption, and continued: "The ministers used the heads of these people as a deterrent, and urged the generals from all over the country to make up the number, train diligently, and strengthen the defense of the border fortress. That's all he can do. ”
The Emperor Taishang was still very satisfied with Wang Ziteng's answer, he didn't think about making a big move, but only thinking about small repairs, although it didn't seem to have much impact on the overall situation. In fact, it is indeed the most stable method, which will not arouse the disgust of the border generals, and can also enhance the combat effectiveness to a certain extent. It's the safest way to do it at the moment.
The Emperor Taishang was still satisfied with his strategy of acting on the border pass, but this time the Tatars came to attack the border, and if there was no strategy, it was not enough to stabilize the border pass.
"This year, the Great Khan of the Tatars went south, and you are patrolling the border passes, so naturally you will preside over this defense, and you can tell me what you can do." The Emperor Taishang is still satisfied with you, Wang Ziteng's inspection of the north, but because Wang Ziteng has not experienced any war, he still has doubts about whether he can resist and go south.
"Your Majesty, this time the Tatars are going south differently than before, in the year before last, Lord Jia led the soldiers to defeat them heavily, they no longer have the strength to attack everywhere, and now our weak defense is only near Shaanxi. But these lands were relatively poor, and the Tatars did not have much oil and water even when they were defeated. So I think the main targets of the Tatars this year are Shanxi and Hebei. As long as Xuanfu Town and Datong Town are kept, the Central Plains can be guaranteed to be unharmed. And Xuanfu Town is the old ministry of the Minister of Military Aircraft, Lord Jia, so you don't have to worry about it. Weichen and I personally sat in Datong, and then mobilized troops and horses, we must ensure that Datong is not lost, so that the Tatars are to break through some small county towns, plunder some materials, and there is no obstacle in the overall situation. When Wang Ziteng said this, it can be said that he has told his strategy like the emperor and the emperor.
After listening to Wang Ziteng's words, the Emperor Taishang kept nodding. It seems that Wang Ziteng did not give it in vain, and his arrangements have been able to ensure that there will be no big losses in the Central Plains. As for being breached in some small counties, there is no way to do it.
Emperor Taishang made up his mind and immediately issued an order: "Pass the decree and promote the prince Teng to the nine provinces, that is, the sunrise Beijing will inspect the nine sides, but if there are lawbreakers, the three grades and below will be cut first and then played." At the same time, he ordered Wang Ziteng to temporarily supervise Datong and Shanxi soldiers and horses to resist the Tatars going south this time. ”
Wang Ziteng listened to the will of His Majesty the Emperor Taishang, and hurriedly knelt down again to thank him, Wang Ziteng understood that this nine-province system was just a transition, if he did a good job, the next step would be to be promoted to the capital of the nine provinces, if he could get the trust of the Emperor Taishang again, he might also be directly appointed as the secretary of the military department, and then it would be the peak of the generals.
Even if this matter was decided, the emperor watched from the sidelines, and he was very happy, and they could be regarded as achieving their goal and transferring the prince out of Beijing. gave Jia Ke an arm loss, and then, according to the established plan, he began to elect his own people to serve as the Jingying Festival, and control the 100,000 horses left after the prince vacated his post.
And Jia Ke stood under His Royal Highness and raised his eyes to see the joy on the emperor's face. I couldn't help sneering in my heart, the emperor has arrived, and now he is still daydreaming, why is his heart so big?
And the emperor's family of people in the main hall are already a little ready to move. But the big guy stood there without saying a word. Because these old foxes have already seen that something is wrong with the situation, the Emperor Taishang will not let the emperor easily get the military power, and there is no way to remind the people of his faction, so he can only express his meaning by silence.
Sure enough, the Emperor Taishang asked above: "Since Wang Ziteng has served as the commander of the nine provinces, then his envoy of the Jingying Festival is vacant." While everyone is now full, everyone will discuss it and see who will take over this part of the people. ”
As soon as the Emperor Taishang finished speaking, Hu Keshan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said: "Emperor Taishang, the Emperor, the minister recommended Lei Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to control the soldiers and horses in Beijing. ”
After listening to his words, the Emperor Taishang had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, but continued to ask, "What else?" Is this the only one to choose? ”
Meng Ming, the old man, is out of the way today, he has reached the extreme of his dissatisfaction with the emperor now, and at this time he stood up and said to the emperor: "Emperor Qi, the minister recommends Jia Ke, the foreman of the military aircraft department, Jia Ke has been serving in the army, and has repeatedly made war exploits in the battle against the Tatars, and the minister thinks that he is the best candidate." ”
As soon as Meng Ming finished speaking, Liu Yu, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and retorted: "No, although Jia Ke has a resume of military exploits, he already controls half of the people in the capital, if he is allowed to control all the people in the capital, I am afraid it will not be the blessing of the Son of Heaven." This sentence was already very excessive, and he almost pointed to Jia Ke's nose and said that he was going to rebel.
