Chapter 106: Var Zheng
Seeing that Yang Mu's face was not good-looking, Ji Ling'er was also worried, for fear of being misunderstood, so she made a look at the second lady.
"Your Majesty...... I...... Slaves...... The slave maid is willing to be a eunuch, and the mother said that Your Majesty is our great benefactor, and also the great benefactor of the people of the entire Cangguo, if you can go to Your Majesty's side to serve loyally, it is a great blessing, and the gods will take care of it, Your Majesty, you will leave the two sons......"
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed, he could see that he was a little shy and nervous, but from his firm eyes, he could see that he was sincere and sincere.
Yang Mu wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know what to say, the good people were not right, they had to be eunuchs......
"Alas, since this is already the case, then forget it, I hope you grow up and don't regret it." Yang Mu sighed and said: "That's it, in the future, you will be called Xiao Yanzi, stay in the palace to practice martial arts, when you can learn something, I will give you an errand and leave it by your side to listen to it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! After hearing this, the little girl was very excited, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.
Yang Mu waved his hand and asked him to go down, and then looked at Ji Ling'er angrily: "Dare to make your own decisions, go and get twenty boards first!" ”
"Oh." Ji Ling'er flattened her mouth, knowing that His Majesty the Emperor was really angry, so she bowed and went to get the board herself.
Watching Ji Ling'er retreat, Yang Mu shook his head helplessly.
Generally speaking, Ji Ling'er's approach is not wrong, not only because of personal feelings, but also because Yang Mu ordered the inner guards and the Praetorian Guards a few days ago to secretly select a group of outstanding eunuchs and young adults, and prepare to set up two spy agencies, one similar to Dongchang and the other similar to Jinyiwei.
Because, after this rebellion and coup, Yang Mu also realized that the imperial power's control over the country, especially the control of the people's feelings, was far from enough.
In the past, it was the family of gate valves who controlled the whole country, and the influence of imperial power on the people was very limited, and the influence of the two sides in the people was even a hostile relationship.
And now, the power and influence of the gate valve have been greatly weakened, and the imperial power is unprecedentedly strong, so this matter has the conditions to be implemented.
Of course, these two spy agencies were not established overnight, and now the entire Cangguo is in a state of ruin, and the selected people need to be trained in all aspects, and without a few months of hard work, they will not see results.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of this critical period that Ji Ling'er felt that the second son was suitable, so she agreed to his request and brought it into the palace.
After dealing with the twists and turns, Yang Mu summoned Kong Shangxian into the palace.
This former captive, who is now the secretary of the Ministry of Education, is also dusty and tired.
"What are you ......" Yang Mu was surprised, in his eyes, Kong Shangxian had always been the image of a scholar and strategist, and there was always a sense of confidence on his face, but today he had an untidy beard, dark skin on his face, and bloodshot eyes.
Kong Shangxian smiled bitterly and said, "I have been busy at both ends these days, so I am slightly raunchy, which makes Your Majesty smile." ”
Yang Mu nodded, Kong Shangxian is now holding two positions, both the minister of supervision and the secretary of the Ministry of Education, both sides are the busiest times, just the instructions of some official documents are busy enough for a long time, plus Mr. Teaching has just arrived in the countryside, whether it is the venue or personnel coordination, it is not a simple matter, it can be said that compared to him, the emperor, there is not much leisure.
"Aiqing has been fortunate during this time, and now all the decrees are on the right track, thanks to the loyal ministers and capable people."
"Share worries for Your Majesty, the duty of a micro-minister."
"I called you over this time to ask about Zheng Kang's letter last time, I don't know what your opinion is."
"Your Majesty means that you want to use troops against Zheng Guo?" Kong Shangxian asked with a straight face.
Yang Mu nodded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Zheng Guo this time, he is hateful!" If I don't take revenge, how can I have the face to sit on this dragon chair! ”
"That'...... Weichen dares to ask Your Majesty, do you think the time has come? ”
"Aiqing's question is reasonable, which is why I came to you this time. Last time Zheng Kang wrote a letter, it can be seen that Zheng Guo is now in turmoil, this time my Cangguo Palace changes, nine times out of ten it is also planned by the second prince of Zheng Guo behind the scenes, if it drags on any longer, I am worried that Zheng Guo will calm down the chaos, and then it will be a close match. ”
"Your Majesty didn't say it, the minister was about to mention this matter, since Zheng Han was able to write to His Majesty in the name of Zheng Kang, presumably the two had already made some kind of deal privately, if it was expected, it should be from the eldest prince Zheng Xiong."
Zheng Xiong......
Yang Mu also nodded, thinking deeply, after all, the current Zheng Guozhong, Zheng Han and Zheng Kang's strength has been greatly damaged, it is a good opportunity for the eldest prince Zheng Xiong, who will definitely beat the water dog, Zheng Han is a smart person, he will definitely take the initiative to seek cooperation with Zheng Kang, and it is possible that the two have formed a short-term alliance in private in order to resist the pressure from Zheng Xiong.
"Aiqing thinks that if I decide to attack Zheng Guo, what should I do at this time?"
"Lianshen, three-way attack!"
"Three-way attack...... The White Tiger Legion in the Bandit Mountain Range is no problem, but on the side of Shen Guo, after all, his vitality is greatly injured, and in just over a month, I am afraid that he is still licking his wounds, is he capable of the Northern Expedition? Yang Mu asked.
In fact, this is also a problem he has been worrying about, in the battle a month ago, the entire Shen State was almost disabled, only more than 5,000 troops remained, and the two cities in the north were not able to recover, if it were not for the White Tiger Legion of the Bandit Mountain Range as foreign aid, I am afraid that Zheng Guo would have invaded the south for the second time.
It can be said that it would be good if the current Shen State could keep itself, and still have the ability to go on the Northern Expedition?
"Your Majesty, the minister means that although the Shen State is unable to go on a northern expedition, it can disperse the enemy's forces." Kong Shangxian said.
"Oh?"
"This has to talk about the last battle of Shenguo, His Majesty returned Shenguo Anluo City at that time, but did not mention the other two cities, this is a clever move. Now His Majesty wants to attack the Shen Kingdom, although the morale of the Cangguo generals is high, but the number of soldiers is insufficient, and it is deep into the hinterland of the enemy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no siege. However, if Shen Guo is allowed to go north, outside of Shanquan City and Pingxiang City, it will inevitably attract Zheng Guo's fear, so he will divide his troops to defend and reduce the pressure on our Cangguo army. ”
"It's only five thousand soldiers, even if it's stationed outside the city, it won't attract Zheng Guo's attention, right? The defenders of the two cities can cope with it, how can they achieve the effect of dividing their forces? ”
"Definitely." Kong Shangxian smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty might as well think about it, if the White Tiger Legion does not move......
White Tiger Legion......
Suddenly, Yang Mu seemed to think of something, and said in surprise: "Aiqing really has a wonderful idea, just this plan, my 5,000 soldiers of Cangguo can drag down the 50,000 army of Zheng Guo!" ”
