Chapter 537: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
After deciding to abolish the Yan coin, the Fengguo court discussed the matter of Jingguo again.
Sima Wen came out and said: "Now although the king has married His Royal Highness King Jing, but the decrees of the two countries have not yet been unified, and the Jingguo court still exists, and the Jing army is not under the command of our country. ”
What he said, Lu Chen also thought about it, but this matter is easy to say, but when it is actually implemented, it is many times more difficult than abolishing Yan coins!
As Sima Wen spoke, Lu Chen couldn't help but stand up and began to pace back and forth in front of Wang's case, and after a while, he looked at Sima Wen and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions for the scenery?" ”
Sima Wen thought for a while and said: "Back to the king, in my humble opinion, the first thing my country should do is to weaken the central army of Jingguo, reduce its establishment, and make it belong to the king for unified use. ”
When Lu Chen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, the current establishment of the Jing army, he knew, in addition to the more than 300,000 central troops commanded by Ai Hu, there were more than 100,000 in the capital, that is, a total of about 500,000, but this army is not something that can be cut!
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head slightly and said: "The matter of the central army of Jingguo is still too early, and for the matter of Jingdi, it is indeed as Lord Sima said, it must be done, but it can't be rushed, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”
"What does the king mean," Sima Wen couldn't help but ask.
Lu Chen waved his hand and didn't talk about this matter anymore, but said: "Today's court discussion, let's stop here, this king is a little tired, retreat from the court." ”
Yes? When the ministers heard this, they were stunned at first, but it could be seen that Lu Chen had stepped down from the throne, and the people had no choice but to kneel on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "The ministers send off the king."
After the next dynasty, Lu Chen went to the palace study.
The current state affairs are heavy, and he has just experienced the great war, so there are many things to deal with for him. As for the matter of Jingdi, the reason why he did not discuss too much with the ministers in the court today is also for another reason.
If you want to handle the affairs of Jingdi perfectly, you must have the support of King Jing, otherwise, it will be difficult for Lu Chen to move an inch.
Just when Lu Chen was thinking about taking some time to have a good chat with King Jing, Liang Xiao walked in and reported that Xue Huairen asked to see him.
This is just the court, what is the matter with Xue Huairen, what can't he say in the court? At this time, you are asking to see yourself again?
Lu Chen frowned slightly, then put down the brush and said, "Please let him in." ”
"No." Liang smiled in response, turned around, and soon led Xue Huairen in.
After the latter came in, he naturally saluted Lu Chen first, Lu Chen waved his hand slightly to signal him to flatten down, and asked at the same time, "What is the matter with Lord Xue?" ”
"Oh, that's right." Xue Huairen pondered for a moment, stood below and said, "The king, about the matter of Yan Xiang Li Zhao and the prince of Yan Kingdom, I don't know how the king will deal with it?" ”
So that's what happened! When Lu Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are the two of them still alive?" ”
"Yes, he is under house arrest in the City Governor's Mansion, waiting for the king to dispose of it." Xue Huairen replied.
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Lord Xue came to ask to see this king, not just to tell this king about this, right?" ”
Xue Huairen said: "The king is wise, Weichen actually wants to advise the king, don't kill Yan Xiang and Prince Yan." ”
"It can't be!" Lu Chen said directly, if you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, there will be endless troubles! This truth, anyone can understand, not to mention that Lu Chen is still the king of a country, he destroyed the Yan Kingdom, how could he still tolerate the existence of the former Yan prince! If so, it would be equivalent to putting a time bomb on yourself!
Seeing that Lu Chen's attitude was so resolute, Xue Huairen hurriedly said: "King Rongyu, Weichen didn't mean that, I just want to say that instead of killing the two of them, it is better to push the boat down the river, seal his title, and give him a fief, and these are only superficial, and in his fief, the king can continue to put him under house arrest." In this way, it can not only effectively appease the people of Yandi, but also explain the mind of the king. ”
There is some truth in what he said, but Lu Chen disagrees with it very much in his heart, this is not to say that Lu Chen is narrow-minded, but on this matter, he has his own opinion.
However, after a little consideration, Lu Chen said: "That being the case, then according to what Lord Xue said, you can pass on the edict of this king, seal, the former prince of Yan is the Marquis of Yongle, and give the title of Yan Di Huai County."
"I'm Wang Yingming" Xue Huairen hurriedly shouted, his face also showed joy, he believed that in this way, it would inevitably have a certain effect on the governance of Yandi.
"Is there anything else Lord Xue is up to?" Lu Chen asked again.
"Ah, Wechen retired." Xue Huairen hurriedly saluted and bowed back.
After he left, Lu Chen called again: "Liang Xiao." ”
"The minister is here." Liang Xiao hurriedly responded.
Lu Chen glanced at him, reached out and gently wiped it on his neck.
Seeing this scene, Liang Xiao was slightly startled, and then immediately said: "Weichen understands! Please rest assured! ”
"Be clean, Prince Yan and Li Zhao went to Yandi Huai County, the road is far away, and there is nothing strange about meeting some horse bandits on the way." Lu Chen added.
"Yes!" Liang Xiao hurriedly responded.
Liang Xiao did things, Lu Chen was still very relieved, but when the latter was about to take the order to leave, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, I heard that this time Prince Yan almost fled into Qingguo, and in the border town, he was arrested by the City Captain's Mansion?" ”
"Yes, the king." Liang Xiao returned.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded and said, "You go and ask Hu Feng to enter the palace by the way." ”
"No." Liang Xiao took the order and left.
City Captain's Mansion.
In the room where Li Zhao was under house arrest, Xue Huairen sighed slightly, and said: "Lord Li, fortunately, after you and Prince Yan rushed to the fiefdom of Huai County, you should settle down as a good life, and you can't regenerate the heart of assistance, otherwise, a catastrophe will come." ”
When Li Zhao heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said: "Lord Xue's kindness has been received in my heart, but this time the Wind King has given me a seal, I'm afraid"
Speaking of this, he was silent, and when Xue Huairen heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What does Master Li mean?" ”
"Hehe, nothing." Li Zhao shook his head again, and then gave Xue Huairen a deep salute.
Is Xue Huairen stupid? Of course he is not stupid, how can he not hear the meaning of Li Zhao's words, but it is difficult to disobey the king's will, and he can only sigh secretly in his heart, hoping that Li Zhao's worries are superfluous.
