Chapter 273: The Best Choice
Despite his great disobedience to the holy will, Emperor Chongkang still gave the once most respectful Yuansuke, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Ning Zechen first told the matter of Jia Cong and Cai Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, in the Wenhua Palace impartially, although everyone knew it, Emperor Chongkang must have known it a long time ago.
But Ning Zechen still repeated it word for word.
Emperor Chongkang was puzzled: "Just because my Jinyi commander does not allow Chengguo Gong to kill Jinyi's pro-army at will, so you let him leave Beijing for refuge." If one day they don't like me, will I also have to leave Beijing for refuge? ”
Ning Zechen smiled bitterly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that." It's just that...... With the merits of Chengguo Gong and his status in the army, even if he doesn't kill Jinyi Lux, it is still easy to suppress it. And if he really killed, could the court really cure him for his great crime? Among the 12 regiments and battalions in Chang'an, there are nine battalions of soldiers and horses from over there......"
In the final analysis, Emperor Chongkang was not an immediate emperor, and he had no prestige in the army at all.
To deal with the lords, you can slowly try to deal with them according to the general trend, but if you want to punish them for crimes with trumped-up names like you did with Wenchen, it is a dream.
Especially for the tiger generals like Zhen Yuanxun who fought from the sword mountain and the sea of fire.
Emperor Chongkang was replaced by King Wu, perhaps with such prestige, just by virtue of a Taiping Emperor......
Rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone those tiger warriors?
Ning Zechen's words made Emperor Chongkang's face extremely ugly, and he hated and bitter in his heart.
I feel that he, the emperor, is really tasteless.
It took great efforts to support the New Party before all the old ministers of the former dynasty were expelled from the court, but as a result, the new law had not yet been fully implemented, and the New Party was again in a tail-end.
I just got up to curb the new party, damn it......
Zhen Yuan Xun came out to show his face again!
Although Emperor Chongkang was not worried that Zhen Yuan would rebel, and understood that the best way was to wait for this group of lords to slowly die of old age.
When the next generation doesn't have to worry about it at all, these nobles will inevitably decline.
However, as an emperor, how could he allow himself to live trembling and worrying?
is clearly an emperor, but he has to worry about a group of courtiers......
Song Taizu said: On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
What's more, there is not just one person sleeping next to his palace, but twelve regiments and battalions, hundreds of thousands of troops!
Even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would not allow it.
Glancing at the people of the New Party, Emperor Chongkang suddenly introspected to himself, he was indeed too anxious.
Even if these ministers are really suppressed, it is not now.
Compared with those Zhenyuan Wuxun who ate human flesh and chewed human bones and forged meritorious titles with countless white bones, the threat brought by these ministers of the New Party cannot be said to be insignificant, but it is far less deadly.
Moreover, in any case, the new law will always persist in the future, and it is impossible for him to really eradicate the new party.
So......
Taking a deep breath, Emperor Chongkang had an idea in his heart, looked at Ning Zechen, his eyes were more warm, and asked, "Aiqing, I heard that you still have a son?" ”
Ning Zechen was stunned by this sudden gentleness, but in the end, he was a person of great wisdom, and he figured out the reason in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know whether to be bitter or happy, he bowed down and said: "Yes, the minister also has a son, named Ning Yuan, who is not a martial artist, and he is extremely unsuccessful......
Emperor Chongkang thought for a while and said: "Aiqing is busy with official business, has no time to discipline, and is always idle at home, so it is inevitable to develop a gentleman. As...... How about going to the Jinyi pro-army to be a Jinyi commander? ”
The commander of the brocade clothes is the third product, and the same knowledge is the third product, and he is the deputy of the commander, which can be called a high authority.
This grace is not insignificant.
However, Ning Zechen still hurriedly refused: "The minister's dog thanks Your Majesty for your grace, it's just ......"
Ning Zechen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Although the second son of the minister is a few years older than Jia Cong, in terms of mentality...... Ten Ning Yuan combined, they can't be compared to Jia Cong.
Ning Yuan is not like Jia Cong, who has endured hardships since childhood. So......
Your Majesty, the brocade-clothed pro-army is about to be of great use, and it is best to be led by capable people, otherwise it will inevitably be a nest of bears. ”
When Emperor Chongkang heard this, he actually laughed and said: "Aiqing really despises his own children too much...... but seeing that Ning Zechen's face was resolute, he didn't force it too much, and he was ready to think about it later, and then said: "What Aiqing said before, Jia Cong and Jinyi's army are not good to stay in the capital anymore, what does it mean?" ”
Ning Zechen said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, because of the events of that year, the ministers of Zhenyuan will never want to see the resurgence of the Jinyi army. Regardless of the current Jinyi Tiqi, will it still be as unscrupulous as the Holy Ancestor and the Emperor Taishang in the Second Dynasty, knocking on the door in the middle of the night to take people......"
As he spoke, Ning Zechen glanced at Jia Cong meaningfully.
Jia Cong naturally didn't say anything, he always understood the duty of the Jinyi commander.
Instead, he admired Emperor Kang, waved his hand and said: "The Jinyi pro-army will no longer be like before, making the court people disheartened and smoky. The use of brocade clothes and pro-army is only to guard the imperial power, not to be deceived by his subordinates, not to be deaf and blind, and not to be a clay emperor who has no power to protect himself in times of chaos. ”
Emperor Chongkang ignored the cabinet ministers who knelt down to ask for guilt, but looked at Jia Cong, and said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, the Jinyi pro-army will be renamed Jinyiwei, Jia Cong, don't live up to my expectations of you." ”
Jia Cong bowed down and said in a deep voice: "Jinyi Guard, swear to be the imperial power guard!" ”
After Emperor Chongkang looked at him deeply, he called the ministers and asked Ning Zechen to continue.
Obviously, Ning Zechen is not just as simple as letting Jia Cong out of Beijing......
Ning Zechen glanced at Jia Cong, who was standing calmly, and couldn't help but be in a trance in front of the emperor, seeing Emperor Chongkang looking at him with strange eyes, he explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the minister really can't help but reflect on the way of the minister's godson, it seems that there is a deviation." When he was young, he was also from a poor family, so he was barely precocious. The more tempering and the more hardships you endure, the more you know how to do things. The minister understands this truth, but he clearly understands this truth, but he didn't do it, so he made Yuan Ze ...... Went astray. ”
It seems that there are too many words after reflection, and this is not the place to speak, Ning Zechen asked for sin: "The minister is really old, and he actually wandered in front of the emperor, please punish Your Majesty." ”
After that, kneeling on the ground, Emperor Chongkang looked at it coldly, and saw that his temples were like frost, and his back was as straight as a gun, but he didn't know when he was rickety.
After narrowing his eyes, Emperor Chongkang sighed lightly and said, "Aiqing is two years younger than me, and this year has just passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, why is he old?" I also look forward to you, as soon as possible, the new law will be implemented in the world, you and I will create a prosperous world together. ”
When Ning Zechen heard this, his eyes were faintly red with excitement, and he kowtowed and said in a deep voice: "The minister is a small official, thanks to the grace of His Majesty's knowledge, he is promoted to the position of Yuanfu, although the minister is full of liver and brain, it is not enough to repay His Majesty's grace." The minister only wants to see the new law as soon as possible, the treasury is full, Li Shu is happy, and the prosperous era is coming early. If you can teach one or two children and grandchildren like Jia Cong, then you will be born in public and private, and there will be no regrets. ”
When Emperor Chongkang heard this, he looked at Ning Zechen, who was revealing his true feelings, and his heart was still touched.
It's just that......
If Ning Zechen is really allowed to complete this full work, so that the new law will be carried out, inside and outside Beijing, and up and down the government and the opposition, it will be all over its wings.
His virtue is so high that it is easy to do anything to abolish it.
Emperor Chongkang's heart was slightly cold, but his face was moved, and he personally helped Ning Zechen up, and said softly: "Aiqing is flat, let's wait for the new Fake to be fully successful." At that time, I am afraid that there will be a new country in trouble.
The country is in trouble, Si Liangchen. If Aiqing leaves me, who can I find to solve the problem? ”
Ning Zechen's heart was like a cold stone slowly pressed down, but he was helpless.
I thought that I could take the opportunity of today's martial arts conflict to ease the fundamental contradiction between the monarch and the minister, and make a foreshadowing for the future success and retirement.
But I didn't expect it......
After sighing in his heart, he said two words of gratitude, Ning Zechen turned back to the topic and said: "Your Majesty, it will be difficult for the Jinyi army to grow in the capital, even if it is forcibly supported, it will inevitably have a violent conflict with the Zhenyuan lineage. At that point, the danger is at stake.
Now that the new law is about to overcome the full merits, when the provinces are prosperous, the national strength is prosperous, and the prestige of His Majesty and the imperial court is further enhanced, he will be able to slowly plan it with a brilliant general trend.
The ministers all believed in the loyalty of the military aircraft, just to prevent danger......
Therefore, the minister suggested that the brocade clothes be pro-army...... Oh, now it's Jinyiwei, and it's up to grow in the capital.
After all, it was only the brocade clothes in Chang'an that were damaged, and the guards in other provinces still existed.
In addition, the minister also imagined that His Majesty would ask for help......"
Emperor Chongkang was noncommittal to Ning Zechen's words, and when he heard it to the end, he raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Oh? I don't know what is difficult for Aiqing, but she can't be the master? ”
Ning Zechen smiled bitterly: "The new law has been paved in various provinces outside Beijing, and it has almost been completed. Only a few places such as Jinling, Gusu, and Yangzhou have replaced several governors and governors, and it has always been difficult to move an inch. This matter was originally handed over to Lord Song, Lord Lou, and Lord Zhang, but with the experience accumulated by the three adults in several provinces, they could not solve it......"
At this point, the three cabinet newcomers who had been following the four leaders of the New Party like clay bodhisattvas blushed one by one, and their hearts were filled with shame and hatred.
Especially when he saw Emperor Chongkang, who had appointed them into the cabinet, his suspicious eyes looked ......
Ning Zechen continued: "Your Majesty, at this point, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade those noble clans with deep roots in the land of Wenhua. The giant room in the south of the Yangtze River is mostly the same as the branches, Su Yang has nine surnames, and the family of hairpins for generations has been noble and prominent since the previous dynasty. Officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River are inextricably linked with him. Most of the officials in the yamen are the children of their clansmen. The prosperous resort in the south of the Yangtze River has a faint tendency that needles cannot be pierced into the water. In the two states of Suyang, thirty percent of the land is owned by the nine surnames, but it is difficult to collect even a penny of tax silver, which is really terrifying.
Moreover, the maidservants under the door are like clouds and slaves are like rain, which has become the trend of the wealthy family, and the king is difficult to restrain the law.
Your Majesty, even if there is no new law, the situation in Jiangnan has reached a point where it has to be resolved.
And to solve this problem, only send an angel to the south, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve.
Only the choice itself is not resisted by the Jiangnan wang clan, has the means, has the courage, and can also represent the imperial power, and there is no shortage of brave people, with wisdom and bravery, to solve this problem.
I thought it was ......"
As he spoke, Ning Zechen's gaze fell on Jia Cong and said, "Commander Jia, the only candidate for the Manchu Dynasty!" ”
Jia Cong met Ning Zechen's encouraging gaze and smiled expressionlessly......
