Chapter 160: The Pair of Monarchs and Ministers

Hearing He Muhan's words, all the ministers looked at each other, but the emperor's order could not be violated, and they all quickly retreated.

In the main hall, only the emperor He Muhan and the left minister Wei Zhengxun remained.

One is the lord of Jinyang, ruling the world; One is the left minister of the imperial court, a very popular minister.

Because of the Jinyang Dynasty, the left is respected, so in terms of status, Wei Zhengxun, the left minister, is one point higher than Mu Baichuan, the right minister.

So like just now, there was a conflict between the emperor and the highest-ranking minister, and the two really needed to have some communication, which was conducive to the unity of the monarch and the minister, so He Muhan left Wei Zhengxun alone, wanting to know more about the whole thing.

"Zuo Xiangye, sit down." He Muhan said lightly, "There are only you and me here, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Wei Zhengxun didn't seem to be too polite, raised his slightly rickety body, and sat directly opposite the dragon chair.

He Muhan didn't seem to be in a hurry to open up the topic directly, but looked far away, as if he was caught in a memory, and then his voice was a little more cordial, and said, "Uncle Guo, we haven't spoken so alone for a few years." ”

Hearing the words "Uncle Lao", Wei Zhengxun shook his head, and then muttered: "Yes, the old minister still remembers, when His Majesty was a child, other people cried when they hugged him, only the old minister hugged him, and he grinned, and when His Majesty was a little older, he liked to ride on the old minister's neck to play a game of horse riding, and then the long night changed, and the old minister was fortunate to have been following the first emperor and His Majesty, for a while, it has been many years." ”

Wei Zhengxun is the father of Wei Zhen, the favorite concubine of the Wenzong Dynasty, so the whole court, in private, is respectfully called the old uncle, but after He Muhan ascended the throne, perhaps he wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor, deliberately alienated, and never called "old uncle" again, so he suddenly called it out, which made Wei Zhengxun a little trance and remembered many old things.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, He Muhan continued: "Uncle Guo, you are my relative, I want to ask, what is your relationship with Yu Qiancheng, why did I take away his military power, and your reaction would be so big?" ”

Wei Zhengxun didn't expect He Muhan to ask so directly, and asked rhetorically: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" Why do you think that the old minister is favoring General Yu, the old minister just thinks that General Yu is the pillar of the country, and rashly took away his military power, and gives it to the prince, I am afraid that it will make the generals in the army feel cold. ”

"Oh?" He Muhan is still skeptical.

"And the old minister can see it..."Wei Zhengxun's voice was a little louder, his voice revealed a sense of old age, and he spoke with a breathing energy, pausing from time to time, but he could still hear the old man's stubbornness, "Now the right capital Lu Duchu General is recuperating, the two most famous generals in the Jinyang Dynasty, one is the Marquis of Ningxiang, and the other is General Yu Qiancheng, the so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers, and now His Majesty has sent them all to the south, in fact, there is a sense of mutual restraint." ”

He Muhan smiled when he heard this, "I don't know if the old uncle is old, some of the lights are dark, or he has learned some of the techniques of thick black, now that the South Vietnamese army has committed a crime, I have transferred the two most capable generals of the imperial court to the south, which is reasonable and reasonable, and it is a necessary measure, why does the old uncle still have such doubts?" ”

Although Wei Zhengxun thought that he was right, he was too old to be strong, and he gasped: "The Shahai camp was trained by General Yu, and General Yu is also used to it, why did Your Majesty rashly cut his military power?" ”

He Muhan was stunned and said: "I thought that some things could only be understood but not spoken, but the old uncle really wanted to break the sand pot and ask the end?" What's more, the old uncle is now over the age of old, and it is time to enjoy happiness, and many things can actually be pointed. ”

Wei Zhengxun is still a little stubborn: "Chaowen said, you can die at night." I would like to hear about it. ”

He Muhan sighed and said, "Uncle Guo also knows about the changes in the long night. After five years of Ugami conquering the country, I have always been suspicious of the people of the Yu family. Although after the Long Night Change, the Yu family suffered a devastating blow, and the Yu Shang Expedition was razed by the Ten Clans, but one of them survived, because they fell to the Holy Ancestor at a critical moment and provided a lot of internal information, which saved them from Zhulian. But how many of such families can be trusted? If the Fengyun Cavalry is the world's first good offensive force, then the Shahai Battalion is the world's first good defense army, they have guarded the Tiandang Pass for many years, and there has never been any mistakes, such elite soldiers, now that it is eventful, how can I rest assured that they will be handed over to the people of the Yu family... That's where my suspicions lie. As for mutual constraints, the old uncle thought about it a lot, and I was completely relieved that my younger brother Ning Xianghou was a person who could be trusted. ”

Wei Zhengxun paused, and then sighed: "That's the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

He Muhan said softly: "What kind of gentleman am I, I am a monarch, I am a decisive decision, when the Holy Grandfather was in power, he often told me not to be moved by interests, not to be moved by the world, no matter how big or small things are, you can calm down, you are a truly promising monarch, I can't do this, and I don't want to do anything great now, but there is one thing, the ancestors have passed down the country, and it must not be destroyed in my hands." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Wei Zhengxun was a little unbearable on his face, and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is a monarch with great talents, enough to become an example for future generations of children and grandchildren. ”

He Muhan smiled lightly, "It's rare for Uncle Guo to praise me like this, which makes me a little embarrassed...... Our monarchs and ministers were still fighting each other just now, but now they are complimenting each other, which may mean that we are also relatives. ”

Wei Zhengxun's eyes were moist, "The He family's kindness to our Wei family is high and the earth is thick, and the ministers are not people who don't know how to be grateful, but it's just a matter of the country, and the ministers who should fight will still fight on the basis of reason." ”

He Muhan said with a smile: "You can fight, in fact, I sometimes think, with you, the old uncle, urging me, maybe I will never get carried away." The matter of seizing the power of General Yu's troops, I also want to be more at ease? Not to mention Qingping... I also want him to experience more. ”

Because it seemed to be related to the succession to the throne, even Wei Zhengxun was a little careful when he spoke: "Looking at it this way, Your Majesty intends to hand over the throne to the Eighth Prince after a hundred years?" ”

He Muhan sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know, but for now, he should be the most suitable person, and I need to give him a chance." ”

Wei Zhengxun said: "Lichu, it is a state affair, and it is also a family affair of His Majesty, I don't want to say anything, but please Your Majesty also give other princes some opportunities, don't make such a final decision." ”

"Oh?" He Muhan's eyes lit up and asked.
