Chapter 317: Father and Son Suspicion
Hearing the emperor ask about the military salary at the border pass, Liu Yu, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly gave Lei Ying a look and asked him not to talk any more, if this cover is lifted, I am afraid that he will offend more people, and I am afraid that the ministers in the entire court will be enemies with him at that time. Because this matter is not one person's, but most of the officials in the capital have benefited. With such a large army of interests, where can they touch.
Lei Ying didn't seem to see his eyes, bowed down to the emperor and said: "The emperor doesn't know, the money allocated by the imperial court has never been distributed to the border pass, and it was drawn two layers as soon as he left the house, plus the empty salary and blood of the generals from all over the country, so I am afraid that there are four or five layers in the hands of the border soldiers." ”
As soon as the emperor heard this, there was nothing he didn't understand, although he grew up in the deep palace, he knew more about human affairs. As soon as Lei Ying said this, he figured out the problem. Now instead of getting angry, he has quieted down, and he can't delve into this matter yet. First, his throne was unstable and he needed the support of these civil officials who had benefited from it. Second, the army has always been a taboo for the emperor, and he will never be allowed to touch it.
So the emperor immediately diverted the subject, "Don't say this, I don't want to hear it, I just want to know how I can resist the invasion of the Tatars this year." ”
Lei Ying was stunned at first when he heard the emperor say this, but he immediately understood that the emperor didn't want to care about this matter. Therefore, his eyes dimmed.
But the emperor's question could not be answered, Lei Ying thought carefully about these people in the court and the opposition, I am afraid that the only one who can take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the Tatars is Jia Ke, so many years of war against the Tatars, only Jia Ke led the troops and defeated the Tatars in a row. The others had already encountered the Tatar army, and they were all crushed at the touch of a button.
Although he already knew that Jia Ke was the emperor's sworn enemy, but now that it is related to the affairs of the court and the fate of the country, he can't care so much.
Lei Ying made up his mind and once again said to the emperor: "Hurray, then there is only one last way." Please ask the emperor to make Jia Ke a general. Let him command the elite of the Nine Sides, and according to his ability and prestige, he will definitely be able to defeat the Tatars, so as not to be ravaged by the people of the Central Plains again. ”
When the emperor heard Lei Ying say this, his face immediately changed, and his gaze at Lei Ying also became fierce, as if he had suddenly turned into a man-eating wolf, wanting to devour Lei Ying alive.
Lei Ying was frightened by the emperor's eyes this time, since he took refuge in the emperor, the emperor has always respected him and relied on him a lot, where has he ever encountered such a thing today?
In the end, the emperor still held back his anger, gritted his teeth and said to Lei Ying: "This matter will not be mentioned again in the future, if there is any other way, it will be played immediately." ”
Lei Ying frowned and thought for a long time, and really asked him to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and he immediately said to the emperor: "Long live, there is another way to get the best of both worlds for the sake of the ministers." ”
"What's the solution? Hurry up. The Emperor was already a little impatient at this time.
"Long live, it's better to send Wang Ziteng to inspect the nine sides, Wang Ziteng can be regarded as having some ability, he can at least temporarily resist the Tatars when he goes to the nine sides, and Wang Ziteng is the emperor's person, and his promotion to the emperor will definitely not stop it." Lei Ying seems to be a little confident now.
"Then there is Wang Ziteng, who can be regarded as Jia Ke's uncle, with his face, in Xuanfu and Liaodong, Jia Ke's old department will not be disobeyed, so that the capital will be foolproof, and other places can resist the attack of the Tatars as long as he is carefully rectified." Lei Ying spit out his plan at this time.
After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought, this is one way, now as long as Jia Ke is not allowed to go to the nine sides to control the army, he can accept any other method.
And Liu Yu, the secretary next to him, was an old official, he thought more far-reaching than the emperor, turned this idea in his mind a few times, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "High, really high, or Brother Lei has a way." ”
The emperor was startled by his voice, but when he looked up and saw his eyebrows fluttering, he knew that he had guessed the mystery, so he hurriedly asked: "Liu Aiqing, what is the mystery of this method, you can tell me." ”
"Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng's trip to the border is equivalent to breaking a piece of Jia Ke's arm in the capital, and when the time comes, we will recommend Brother Lei to replace Wang Ziteng in charge of the Beijing camp, so that he can be regarded as mastering a part of the army and being able to fight with Jia Ke controlled by the Emperor Taishang." Liu Yu said excitedly.
In his heart, the generals must receive the moderation of these civil servants, otherwise there will be no big chaos in the world. As soon as the prince leaves, they will jointly write a letter recommending Lei Ying, the former minister of the emperor, as long as the emperor does not pay attention to agree, and then the emperor will have the capital to compete with the emperor.
At this time, the emperor also figured out the key to it, and walked around the hall excitedly. If this plan is successful, it will be of great benefit to him. Even if he fails, there is nothing to lose to him. So why not give it a try?
Zuodu Yushi Tianye has not said a word so far, but he feels that these righteous men and gentlemen in his eyes before are now so hideous and hateful, and they are much worse than Jia Ke, although Jia Ke has lost some money in small sections, at least Jia Ke has always been fair and selfless in this kind of major affairs that affect the country. And the emperor and other ministers in the palace have disregarded the interests of the country in order to compete for power and profit, which is really chilling.
At this time, the balance in Tian Ye's heart couldn't help but tilt like Jia Ke's side.
The emperor sat in the middle, slapped the table and said to the people below: "It is so decided, you go back and discuss it separately, and when the court comes in a few days, bring this matter up." It's best to settle things on that day, and you must give the Emperor Taishang and hyperthyroidism a surprise and can't let them react. ”
So several of the emperor's close ministers at the bottom surrendered their hands together, shouting three times, which was regarded as agreeing to the emperor's request.
The emperor was here to discuss military affairs, and the emperor was not idle on his side, of course, the emperor did not convene ministers to discuss state affairs. He was waiting for the spies to give him a reward.
Since the abdication, although the emperor still holds great power, as the emperor has a deeper and deeper grasp of the court situation, and his prestige in the hearts of the ministers is getting higher and higher, the emperor's fear of the emperor is getting deeper and deeper.
Therefore, during this period of time, the Emperor Taishang's monitoring of the emperor has become more and more strict, that is, the emperor usually talks casually to a eunuch, and the next day this sentence will be put on the emperor's table.
In the Ningshou Palace, the Emperor Taishang is lying on the soft couch with his eyes closed, although it is about to enter autumn, but the weather is still very hot, there are a large number of ice cubes in the Ningshou Palace now, and the palace maid is shaking a brocade fan for him next to the Emperor.
In the past, the Emperor Taishang had already slept at this time, which was also the advice given to him by the imperial doctor, but today he was still waiting for someone, waiting for someone to pass the news to him.
Soon Dai Quan walked in from outside the palace gate, and then gently came to the emperor's side. took the fan in the hand of the palace maid, waved her hand to let her go down, and then took her place and gently fanned the emperor.
The Emperor seemed to be asleep, and did not move until the time of a stick of incense had passed. Only then did the Emperor ask asked, "Are all the people over there gone?" ”
Dai Quan Jingsheng replied: "If you go back to the emperor, everyone is gone." ”
"What did those people say, they didn't want me to kill this old man, did they?" Although the Emperor Taishang was expressionless, his tone was full of helplessness, he didn't expect the father and son to be suspicious to this point.
Dai Quan didn't dare to answer for a while when he heard the Emperor Taishang ask, and he didn't know if the emperor's military power was considered a misconspiracy.
The Emperor waited for a while, but saw that Dai Quan did not answer, so he asked unhappily: "Isn't it, they really want to assassinate the king?" ”
Dai Quan didn't dare to slack off anymore this time, and truthfully replied to the emperor: "Long live the emperor, the emperor has summoned the ministers over there, and after discussion, they plan to join forces with Prince Teng to inspect the nine sides to stabilize the border and resist the Tatars." ”
Hearing these words, the emperor nodded and said: "Wang Ziteng still has some ability, he can at least make the generals of the Nine Sides jealous when he goes to the border pass, and he can arrange this year's defense properly." What else they say, it's not going to be like that. ”
Dai Quan really didn't dare to say much about the last words, but the Emperor Taishang asked anxiously, he pondered it in his heart, and then replied: "Long live Lord, the emperor is thinking that after the prince Teng is promoted, he will let all the ministers play together, recommend the secretary of the military department, and Lei Ying, the minister of military aircraft, to take over the soldiers and horses left by the prince Teng." ”
Emperor Taishang sat there and sneered, "I know that they won't have any good intentions, and after only a few months of being the emperor, they can't bear to be lonely." It's not pleasing to see this old man. At this time, he thought it was more correct to reuse Jia Ke and other henchmen to control the troops at that time, this emperor kept making small moves before he ascended the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he became more frequent, and it seemed that he was unwilling to be lonely.
"Let's talk about what else I have been through, how many stormy waves I have passed, these things still don't scare me." Emperor Taishang's tone became more and more cold, although he gave up the throne to the present day for the sake of his ancestors, but before he died, he still didn't want to give up the power in his hands, because power is a poppy, and he doesn't feel anything when he has it, but once he loses it, I'm afraid it's time to die.
Dai Quan is also a little cautious, since the emperor abdicated as the emperor, Xia Shouzhong, who was next to the new emperor, has been competing with him for power and profit. This is to take away the power of the secret agent from him, where can he tolerate this, thinking that the emperor already has the heart to fight against the old emperor anyway, it is not too much to add fuel and vinegar to say something, and finally be able to beat Xia Shouzhong together, so that everyone in the palace knows that he is still their old grandfather.
Then Dai Quan shed tears, and threw himself at the feet of the Emperor Taishang with some choked up, and began to cry silently after a while.
The Emperor Taishang was stunned for a moment, and then gently pushed him away with his foot, he still cared very much about this old guy who had been with him for decades.
"If you have anything to say, what does it look like to cry and cry, didn't someone bully you? You make it clear to me, and I will call the shots for you. The Emperor Taishang said warmly to the old slave who was kneeling on the ground.
Dai Quan wiped his tears and was about to say something, and it was these words that ruined the emperor's country.
