85. Politics

Zheng Wen looked at these energetic soldiers, turned back to Li Wei and said: "These days, the court is also troublesome, General Lin has also taken up his post in Jiangnan, and the position of Hebei Jiedu envoy is vacant, Li Wei, who do you think can serve as the Hebei Jiedu envoy?" ”

Li Wei listened, and he couldn't understand Zheng Wen's thoughts, and after pondering for a while, he said truthfully: "Your Majesty, Li Cheng of the Northern Army, Zhang Yu, the guard general of Shanhaiguan, and Jiang Kong of the Yulin Army are all suitable candidates, of course, Your Majesty's dictatorship is the most suitable!" His Majesty's order is obeyed! ”

Zheng Wen listened, but he smiled in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Qing is right, I think about it!" "Who said that this martial artist goes straight and can't make a sycophant, this Li Wei said it seriously, it simply said Zheng Wen's heart, and he really slapped Zheng Wen a big sycophant.

It's like the four words "Qiankun is dictatorial", Zheng Wen listened to it, and his heart was very excited, from the top of his head to the center of his feet. And what Zheng Wen wants to do most is to be arbitrary, which is the highest state of being an emperor!

At this time, Huang An walked over from a distance, approached Zheng Wen, and saluted Zheng Wen before he spoke: "Your Majesty, Lord Qin Fei and Lord Qin ask to see you!" ”

"Well, let him come here to see me, Companion, I wonder what is the matter with him?" Zheng Wen listened to Huang An's words and asked.

"Emperor, this old slave is not very clear, and judging from Lord Qin's face, it is not a hurry." Huang An heard Zheng Wen's question, so he replied.

"Oh well! You asked him to come here to see me. Zheng Wen listened and said again.

"No!" After saying that, he retreated.

After a while, Huang An cooperated with Qin Fei to Zheng Wen.

After saluting, Zheng Wen took the lead in asking, "Qin Qing, is there something to see me?" ”

As soon as Qin Fei saw Zheng Wen asking, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask Your Majesty to resign from the post of envoy of the Jingying Festival. ”

When Zheng Wen heard this, his eyes stared straight at Qin Fei's eyes, wanting to see what he meant, to see if this Qin Fei was sincerely resigning, or just to express his dissatisfaction.

Because Qin Fei's position as the envoy of the Jingying Festival, since Zheng Wen ascended the throne, he has continued to use this method, and this Jingying Jiedu envoy is already an empty shell, only having an empty name, not a real job.

If this Qin Fei is here to express his dissatisfaction with Zheng Wen, then Zheng Wen will have to think carefully about the meaning!

So if this Qin Fei is sincerely asking for resignation, then he came to Zheng Wen to resign this time to show Zheng Wen that he is ready to completely withdraw from the military and develop in the political circles, and this is also what Zheng Wen is happy to see.

Because Prime Minister Liu Jian is powerful among civil officials, Zheng Wen, as an emperor, and an emperor who wants to make a difference, not only has to cut his power as prime minister, but also has to find a political opponent for him, and Zheng Wen chose this Qin Fei, because this Qin Fei is smart, understands politics, has prestige, and is energetic, and the most important thing is that he is naturally on the opposite side of Liu Jian, and Zheng Wen is also easy to use. Of course, the premise is that this Qin Fei can't be dissatisfied with Zheng Wen in his heart, otherwise, instead of helping Prime Minister Liu Jian set up a political opponent, he is adding to his own blockage.

Therefore, Zheng Wen stared straight at Qin Fei's face, trying to see his every move clearly, but Zheng Wen was a little disappointed, because at this time, Qin Fei's face was expressionless, and Zheng Wen couldn't see Qin Fei's mind at a glance.

said tentatively: "Qin Qing, this is a little inappropriate!" After all, Qing was an old minister of the first emperor, with high morality and high prestige in the army. ”

Zheng Wen kept saying good things, giving Qin Fei a high hat and a high hat after a high hat, constantly praising Qin Fei, but his eyes were carefully observing Qin Fei's every move.

But secretly it means to say, you should resign quickly, but obviously Zheng Wen can't say that!

As for Qin Fei, after listening to Zheng Wen's words, he was suddenly terrified, his face was a little pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but he was very anxious in his heart, Zheng Wen's words had just fallen, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister can't afford such praise from Your Majesty!" ”

He is only less than 50 years old this year, and his political career is still very long, and he can never afford to be highly respected. What else has a high prestige in the army, and everyone expects it, this kind of words, he will never dare to accept. The Your Majesty in front of him, how sensitive he is to military power, if he accepts His Majesty's praise with a red face, I am afraid that he will be a cold bench for a lifetime in this life.

Moreover, he heard the temptation from His Majesty's words, and according to his political sense for many years, he felt that this kind of temptation was not necessarily a bad thing, and it all depended on his own performance, so he was a person with a face who was sincerely afraid, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship with His Majesty's words.

As a political figure, he understands in his heart that he is not afraid that the superior will test you left and right, because this shows that the superior at least values you in his heart; What I'm afraid of is that the superior will put you aside and ignore you, which shows that he is afraid that there is no such person as you in his heart.

And Zheng Wen, who was observing Qin Fei, looked at the expression on Qin Fei's face, and was generally satisfied in his heart, but his face did not change.

So, Zheng Wen continued: "Let's not talk about these things first, Qing is an important minister of the court and a person who knows the army, the former Hebei Jiedu envoy Lin Cang went to Jiangnan to take over as the envoy of Huinan Jiedu, vacating this position, who do you think is appropriate to take over?" ”

Qin Fei listened, was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this Hebei Jiedu makes a position of high authority, only Your Majesty is arbitrary, and Fang is right!" After speaking, his face was a little cloudy.

Zheng Wen saw it, but shook his head in his heart, it seems that this Qin Fei still has to be polished, and his political sensitivity is still a little insufficient.

Zheng Wen asked this, on the one hand, it was a temptation, and on the other hand, it was not a consideration. To test whether Qin Fei wants to meddle in military power again, the consideration is to consider Qin Fei's sensitivity to politics, and a person's sensitivity to politics often makes him make achievements in politics.

If he tried it, Zheng Wen was generally satisfied in his heart, he already felt that Qin Fei was ready to say goodbye to the military world completely, from yesterday's court meeting, Zheng Wen had such a feeling, and today's temptation was only to affirm yesterday's feelings.

And considering it, Zheng Wen was a little dissatisfied in his heart, because when Zheng Wen asked about the candidate for the envoy of Hebei Jiedu, Qin Fei hesitated for a moment, and only then said something to let His Majesty make a decision, which made Zheng Wen, who was the emperor, a little unhappy in his heart.

Because Zheng Wen showed his dedication to military power from the beginning of his ascension to the throne, these important ministers of the court are obvious to all, and Qin Fei is no exception, but no matter what he thinks, he hesitates for a moment, and it can be seen that his political sensitivity is not so high.

Zheng Wen listened, nodded, and said in a different way: "Qin Qing, I heard that today is Guo Cheng's funeral day, so you can go to see him off for the last time on my behalf, and I won't go." ”

When Qin Fei heard this, he was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately said, "No! Thank you for your trust! After speaking, he saluted Zheng Wen.

Zheng Wen already generally knew what Qin Fei meant, and politically paid attention to repaying the favor, for Qin Fei, an important minister in the court, he took a step back on the one hand, Zheng Wen could not force him again and again, but compensate him on the other hand.

And what Zheng Wen is doing at the moment is exactly like this!

Zheng Wen looked at the Yulin sergeant who was practicing in the distance, and then said, "Is there anything else to do?" "That's what it means to send off a guest.

As soon as Qin Fei heard this, he understood, and saluted Zheng Wen again, and said, "The minister retires!" ”

After saying that, he retreated.

Zheng Wen looked at Qin Fei's back, and his thoughts flew out of Daming Palace, Yanjing City, and Jinling.

……

And Jinling City at this time.

Li Yin stood on the ancient Jinling city wall, looking at the tens of thousands of troops coming from afar with a telescope.

These troops, dressed in black armor and fully armed, lined up in a neat queue, marched silently, and came straight to Jinling, only to see two large flags, the largest one with a vigorous "Lin" character written on it, and the smaller one with a "Li" character written on it. The entire military column gives people a sense of vigor and bravery!

At this time, Li Yin's thoughts were not on this group of troops, he was thinking about whether he wanted to let this army into the city, if he put it in, there would be variables in this Jinling City, which was very unfavorable to him, but if he didn't let it in, it was a little unreasonable.

His face was a little cloudy, his thoughts were a little confused, but his eyes were fixed on the army that was marching towards him in the distance.

And Hu Gong, who was standing beside him, saw this scene and said, "General, are you thinking about whether you want to let these troops enter the city?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yin said motionlessly.

"Why should the general think about it, let it in! It is the right thing to let this Jinling City return to the hands of the court as soon as possible, as for what the general is worried about, it will not happen, these troops are from the capital, and without His Majesty's edict, they will not do anything to you. When Hu Gong heard this, he opened his mouth to persuade him.

"Besides, it can be blocked for a while, and it can't be stopped for a lifetime, the most important thing the general should do now is to hand over the military power of Jinling to General Lin, close the house and wait for the result, so that it is best for the general and the eldest lady!" Hu Gong continued.

When Li Yin heard this, he immediately laughed, and after a long time, he said loudly: "Mr. is right, it is the general who is in love." ”

"Besides, this person has to be responsible for what he has done, he will be ashamed of the court in this life, and he will come after all!"

"Ben deserves to thank the world with death!"
