Chapter 821: Confession
"Emperor Bingfu, the governor of Sichuan wrote to the Tusi in the territory of the rebellion, and the local suppression was difficult, and he asked the imperial court to send a large army to quell the rebellion ......"
"Shanxi's political history impeached the predecessor's political history for a deficit, and the amount was huge......"
In the Ganlu Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Zhengqing was lying on the couch, listening to Min Ning below report on recent national events one by one.
"What did Taifu say?"
"Li Taifu advocated that General Mu Tiannan go, but did not send troops, and let General Mu go to rectify the armament of Sichuan.
However, Wang Taiwei disagreed, and resolutely asked the imperial court to send 10,000 troops to suppress the ......"
"And what do you think?" Emperor Zhengqing asked.
"Erchen, Erchen thinks what Wang Taiwei said is right......" Min Ning said tentatively.
Hearing this, the disappointment in Emperor Zhengqing's eyes flashed.
But he was quickly relieved, and Da Chu's burden would not be handed over to him anyway......
Min Ning saw that Emperor Zhengqing's face was wrong, and he was a little worried, but fortunately, he immediately listened to Emperor Zhengqing: "What Wang Ziteng said, his position is in the military, and he is establishing military prestige. What Taifu said was Lao Cheng's words to seek the country, and it also meant to suppress military forces.
The toast is in turmoil, but the southwest border has accumulated disadvantages all year round, and it has recurred every week. Even if the imperial court suppressed it forcefully for a while, it was only stable for three or five years.
However, Sichuan's permanent garrison has no less than 30,000 troops, and it is actually ineffective in suppression, which shows that the armament is empty, and if it is not rectified, one will waste the national strength, and the other will have no soldiers to fight in case of great chaos.
Therefore, you need to compromise and make Mu Tiannan the envoy of the festival and lead 2,000 soldiers and horses into Sichuan. The governor of Sichuan was transferred, and the governor was temporarily appointed as the governor, and Mu Tiannan was allowed to rectify the armament and suppress the Tusi.
Do you understand? ”
"Erchen understands......" Min Ningmu said.
Emperor Zhengqing didn't say anything more, and said: "As for Bowling Marquis Shi Nai, this person is already useless. You just have to remember that and the Cabinet will take care of the rest......"
"Yes."
"How is Ning Guogong?"
Emperor Zhengqing suddenly asked.
Min Ning said: "He has arrived every time for the three-day meeting, but he is not very active, just listening to the sidelines. If Taifu doesn't ask, he usually doesn't take the initiative to speak.
I heard that Taifu admired the "policy of enriching the people" that he made many years ago, and originally wanted him to take the lead in implementing it, but he refused. The reason was that it was an immature idea when he was a teenager, and it was not worth making a big deal about, which made Mrs. Li very angry......
As for the rest of the time, it seems that they all stay in the house and don't do anything else. ”
Min Ning said truthfully.
Emperor Zhengqing nodded when he heard this, and listened to him say a few things, and Emperor Zhengqing also gave him a brief reminder, so he let him go down.
As soon as Min Ning left, Dai Quan hurriedly came over with a cup of hot tea, and Emperor Zhengqing took a sip and scolded: "This monkey head is probably still afraid that I will cross the river and tear down the bridge, so I deliberately do such a cautious appearance, and even learn from Xiao He to defile himself!"
Hmph, that's self-inflicted. Don't look at what bullshit he did? Can it also be compared with Xiao He? ”
Dai Quan smiled when he heard this. Xiao He of the Han Dynasty deliberately exploited the people's wealth and destroyed his own foundation to defile himself! What about Jia Qing?
Sister-in-law......
Niece-in-law......
I heard that there is news that a nephew has become a son.
Ning Guofu did not hide it, and let such news pass through the streets......
Although the pattern is very different, it has to be said that there are similarities. Xiao He ruined his foundation among the people, and Jia Qing mistook his reputation in Shilin......
As for Emperor Zhengqing's dissatisfaction, Dai Quan will listen to it. If you really have no heart and lungs, and you don't have a trace of awe and avoidance of imperial power, all dynasties and dynasties, such subordinates have not ended well.
If Jia Qing didn't know how to advance or retreat, he would have to think about drawing a line with him.
"Your Majesty is a benevolent saint and a gentleman, and he is sincere to the Duke of Ningguo......
But it is precisely because Ning Guogong has such an awareness and knows how to advance and retreat that he is worthy of His Majesty's trust.
These days, Ning Guogong has evacuated the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp from the palace and the imperial city successively, and only when all the soldiers and horses of the king outside the city are dispersed, the capital can be completely unsealed. Speaking of which, Ning Guogong is also quite safe. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered outside the city, but there was no chaos, and it was only more than 20 days, and it was almost gone. ”
Dai Quan said with a smile.
At the time of the war, Emperor Zhengqing handed over all the power of the capital to Jia Qing, and the palace, the imperial city, and the capital were all controlled by Jia Qing. Now that the forbidden army has been reorganized, and the Beizhen Fusi has also been rebuilt step by step, Jia Qing has handed over the defense of the imperial city and the palace.
Emperor Zhengqing also had a look of relief on his face. In any case, Jia Qing, the outlier of the court, is also picked up by him, and the more outstanding Jia Qing is, the more extraordinary his vision is.
Although the emperor's mental trick requires both use and defense against too outstanding courtiers, it is for ordinary courtiers who are difficult to distinguish between loyal and traitorous courtiers! Jia Qing, he really trusts.
Not to mention anything else, if Jia Qing really has different intentions, the first 20 days or so will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......
The capital is under his control, and most of the large number of Qin Wang's divisions outside the city are also recruited by him!
But what did Jia Qing do, on the one hand, hand over the control of the imperial city as soon as possible, and on the other hand, strictly guard the capital to prevent any changes in King Qin's army......
Even Emperor Zhengqing knew that this time the people who were rewarded for leading troops to the king wanted to go to Ningguo Mansion to visit, but Jia Qing closed the door to thank the guests!
What is it? This is knowing advance and retreat, knowing awe!
Even if Emperor Zhengqing had already decided to use Jia Qing to assist his unborn emperor, he was satisfied with Jia Qing's move, and even moved.
Affection needs to be maintained by both sides, especially the friendship between kings and ministers.
Jia Qing's actions are sincere and loyal everywhere.
It is his luck to have such a courtier.
If it weren't for the fact that there would be no holiday, he would really think about it, think about it, and personally create a grand event in Chu......
Pity.
A eunuch from the Yellow Gate came in and reported: "Jia Qing, the Duke of Ningguo, asks to see him." ”
"Let him in."
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate went, and Emperor Zhengqing asked Dai Quan to help him up. Then he smiled at Dai Quan and said, "You said that he is here, is he unable to sit still, or is there something else going on?" ”
"Slaves don't know ......"
Dai Quan's heart moved. He knew that Emperor Zhengqing had drafted several holy decrees against Jia Qing...... Now looking at Emperor Zhengqing's reaction, I'm afraid that Jia Qing will be rewarded again......
Dai Quan didn't know the specific content of those holy decrees, but what made Emperor Zhengqing think about it again and again, he didn't have to guess to know that it would be solemn!
Dai Quan, an old eunuch, began to be jealous in his heart......
……
"Minister Jia Qing, knock on His Majesty's Dragon Body Jin'an."
Emperor Zhengqing looked at Jia Qing, who was kneeling in the middle, and smiled slightly. This kid, now that he is married, he has a little more maturity.
"Get up."
"Your Majesty...... But Wechen is still kneeling today......"
Emperor Zhengqing frowned, and when he saw Jia Qing's guilty look, he said, "Say, what have you done to steal chickens and dogs?" ”
Dai Quan almost laughed out loud next to him.
How long did it take for words like "stealing chickens and touching dogs" to come out of Emperor Zhengqing's mouth naturally?
Jia Qing pursed his lips, not minding Emperor Zhengqing's sarcasm, but looked up at Emperor Zhengqing's huge bedroom. Just when Emperor Zhengqing's eyes were about to show displeasure, Jia Qingcai said: "Weichen is bold, please Your Majesty retreat...... Of course, Mr. Dai can stay. ”
Dai Quan was shocked, if it weren't for Jia Qing kneeling below, he would have shouted "bold"! No courtier had ever dared to make such a request to Emperor Zhengqing.
Emperor Zhengqing didn't mind, waved his hand and motioned for the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting close to him to go down, and then said, "So you can say it." ”
Although Emperor Zhengqing was weak, he was only sitting on the edge of the dragon bed now, but his bearing on his body had not diminished at all.
Jia Qing hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has come here to ask for guilt today. Wechen is guilty, and it is a big crime, please forgive your majesty......"
Jia Qing behaved solemnly, not to mention Emperor Zhengqing, even Dai Quan standing next to him was different.
Jia Qing's appearance doesn't look like a joke......
What heinous crime did he really commit?
Emperor Zhengqing's eyes rolled, as if he remembered something, his gaze became more dangerous, and said, "Oh, you tell me, what crime have you committed?" ”
Jia Qing bowed his head and said: "Wechen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, when Prince Kang conspired against the army to besiege the capital, he once sent Jin Qiang, the prince of Xining County, to lobby Wechen, intending to make Wechen defect......"
Emperor Zhengqing's complexion changed.
If that were the case, Prince Kang would not necessarily be defeated......
However, such a thing is also reasonable, and it is impossible for Prince Kang not to try to subdue Jia Qing at that time.
"This is Prince Kang's rebellious tactics, you can keep your loyalty, I should reward you, this is not a sin."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, but what Wei Chen said about the great sin does not refer to this matter......
At that time, Jin Qiang saw Weichen's refusal, so he said that Prince Yizhong had an orphan daughter back then, and it happened to be in Weichen's house and became Weichen's nephew and daughter-in-law......"
Dai Quan's complexion changed drastically. How deep the grievances between Prince Yizhong and Emperor Zhengqing were more than 20 years ago, the government and the opposition at that time knew everything. Later, with the death of Prince Yizhong's mutiny, for so many years, no one dared to mention the words Prince Yizhong in front of Emperor Zhengqing.
Emperor Zhengqing looked at Jia Qing with deep eyes, but unfortunately Jia Qing did not raise his head, nor did he know, but continued: "Jin Qiang threatened, if Your Majesty knew that the dignified county lord was actually condescended to Ningguo Mansion as a daughter-in-law, he would definitely ask the Weichen family for their crimes, thinking that His Majesty's niece was angry......"
Emperor Zhengqing raised his eyebrows, he knew that Jia Qing's words were not true. Angry for your niece? In their eyes, I am afraid that I can't wait for Prince Yizhong to cut off his children and grandchildren!
Wei Chen naturally didn't take such words to heart. First, Wechen knows that His Majesty is the king of benevolence and sage, and second, the origin of Wechen's nephew and daughter-in-law is well known, she is the adopted daughter of Qin Bangye, the former battalion of the Ministry of Industry, and the daughter-in-law who was later married back by our family's Ming Media. When Prince Kang said this, he was just deceiving me.
Therefore, Weichen did not take this matter to heart, nor did he take this matter to justice. ”
Emperor Zhengqing sneered: "In that case, where did your sin come from? ”
Jia Qing glanced up and said honestly: "But Weichen has a heart, after the rebel king is killed, the military affairs are slightly relaxed, and Weichen will send people to investigate and secretly visit to calm his heart."
Unexpectedly, it was discovered that there was indeed something suspicious about the life experience of Weichen's nephew and daughter-in-law......
Although Weichen didn't have the ability to find out, he was really surprised. In addition, the matter is very serious, so I have to enter the palace to report this matter to His Majesty.
If it's not true, don't do it. If it is really as Prince Kang and others said, there is such a coincidence in the world, and Wechen does not dare to quibble to exonerate himself, but only asks His Majesty to treat Wechen lightly for the sake of Wechen's initiative to confess......"
"Humph!" Emperor Zhengqing snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Did you really find out something strange recently? ”
Jia Qing frowned and thought about it carefully. After Jiao Da died, only himself and Chen Shou knew about Qin Keqing in the entire Jia Mansion, and it was impossible for Chen Shou to leak this matter, so ......
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen still doesn't believe that this is true, because this is too ridiculous......"
Jia Qing said.
Emperor Zhengqing said: "How do you know that if this matter is true, I will deal with you?" Could it be that in your eyes, I am also the one who can't even tolerate my own niece and daughter? ”
"The minister is guilty!" Jia Qing hurriedly knelt down.
"No matter what you think, if you can take the initiative to go to the temple today to explain this matter to me, it can be seen that you are in awe and honest with me.
I will also tell you the truth, your nephew and daughter-in-law are indeed the daughter of Prince Yizhong back then, and they are also the only bloodline he exists in the world!
If I can't tolerate it, you Ning Guofu can't exist to this day!
I say that, do you understand? ”
Jia Qing's heart was shocked, and he looked up at Emperor Zhengqing with blazing eyes, only to see a bright and upright meaning in his eyes.
It turned out that Emperor Zhengqing had already known about it.
"Your Majesty has a great mind, far beyond the reach of the world, Weichen has thanked Your Majesty for your nephew and daughter-in-law, and also thanked Your Majesty for your ancestors' grace of not sinning! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
Jia Qing said sincerely.
