Chapter 100: Battlefield Soldiers (6)
"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded it!" Yang Guozhong couldn't wait to say: "The children of the Wang family of Beiping County, both civil and military, have lived in Beiting for a long time, and it is appropriate to return to Beijing as a privy envoy." ”
"Wang Zheng sees ......" Li Longji hesitated. Gao Lishi saw that Gao Xianzhi wanted to get up, and hurriedly signaled him not to act rashly.
"Your Majesty, can you allow your ministers to dare to defend their father." Wang Fei tidied up his clothes and stood up.
"Fei Langjun, during the winter solstice meeting the year before last, Ling Zun kept saying that he wanted to return to Beijing as the secretary and supervisor, is he regretting it now?" Li Renzhi sneered coldly.
"Renzhilang, please don't lose your honor in front of you." Wang Fei said: "Your Majesty, my father is loyal to the country and will do what he says, and his heart can be learned every day, how can he go back on his word." However, my father was self-aware, and knew that his talent and virtue were not comparable to those of peerless generals such as the king of Dongping County, Gao Xiangguo, and Geshu Jieshuai, so he was not greedy for the respect of the prince at the winter solstice court meeting the year before last, and intended to serve as the secretary and supervisor. For more than a year, Weichen and his father have been writing constantly, and his father has repeatedly thought of the secretary and supervisor, and has never coveted the position of the political hall. Weichen thought that with his father's intentions, he was willing to return to Beijing but was unwilling to take up the post of privy envoy. ”
"The ancients said that the son is better than the father. Listening to Fei Langjun's words, it turns out that there is still a father who is not as good as a son. Li Longji smiled, but did not say a word about the selection of the privy envoy.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Daobin has played secretly many times, Wang Zhengjian is busy in Tingzhou every day to appease immigrants and open up wasteland, and he does not say a word about the movements of the court, does not care about the affairs of the East Palace, and has no love for the stack. Wang Zhengjian has been to the political hall many times, wanting to step down from the post of the protector of the North Court as soon as possible and return to Beijing to retire. Gao Lishi leaned into Li Longji's ear and explained: "The old slave proposed to set up the Privy Council in order to take advantage of the discord between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan to completely separate the power of the prime minister and the military power, and check and balance each other, so as to ensure that Your Majesty's country is permanent and you can sit back and relax." According to the old slave's simple opinion, His Majesty's concern is nothing more than Wang Zhengjian's close relationship with the crown prince, and now Wang Zhengjian is increasingly estranged from the East Palace, and there is not much difference between whether to enter Beijing or not. The two-year period is approaching in a blink of an eye, so why should Your Majesty be in a hurry. Besides, the privy envoy is in charge of the military aircraft, and Wang Zhengjian is in charge, and the old slave is the first to worry! Besides, Tingzhou is thousands of miles away, but Hedong is close at hand......"
"Hedong ......" Li Longji's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Yesterday, when Li Longji was worried about the discord between the generals, Gao Lishi suggested that he would do the opposite, and instead of deliberately mediating the contradiction between Yang Guozhong and An Lushan, he would take the opportunity to set up a privy council in the political hall, with An Lushan as the privy envoy, and gradually move the privy council out of the Zhongshu sect in the future, so that the privy envoy would become an important minister who was inseparable from the right minister. Of course, the power to command the forbidden armies in the north and south still belongs to the Son of Heaven, and neither the privy envoy nor the right minister can touch it.
Speaking from the heart, the plan designed by Wang Fei is indeed exquisite, and Colliers's clever tongue also moved Li Longji. But they didn't know that what really made the suspicious emperor want to weaken An Lushan was actually Yang Guozhong's sentence "Hedong is only one river away from Gyeonggi, and when Gaozu and Taizong raised troops, it was from the east and west of the river that they entered the pass!" ”
"Your Majesty, can you allow me to say a few words?" The pot-bellied An Lushan got up with difficulty and knelt on the ground.
"I don't know what An Qing's opinion is?" Li Longji regained the spring breeze and harmony.
"Your Majesty, a certain person is a rough person, and he can't understand the twists and turns, but he understands that there are people in the court who are not at ease with him." An Lushan turned his head and glared at Yang Guozhong: "In this case, please resign from Fanyang and Hedong Jiedu envoys, and go back to your hometown to be a rich man!" ”
Yang Guozhong threw his sleeves
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Zi, snorted coldly, and ignored An Lushan's accusations.
"An Qing's words are serious!" Li Longji stepped down from the imperial couch and personally helped An Lushan up: "No matter how many gossips there are in the court, I have never doubted you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" An Lushan's tears came as soon as he said it, if the two waterfalls flowed down: "But I am always pointed at the spine and scolded, and my heart is uneasy." Weichen implored His Majesty to allow him to resign as the envoy of the Hedong Festival. ”
"Hedong Jiedu envoy?" Li Longji was stunned.
"Hedong Jiedu Envoy?!" Gao Lishi's expression changed slightly, Gao Xianzhi took a light breath, and Wang Fei felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
"If there is no An Qing stationed in Hedong, I will not be able to sleep peacefully." Li Longji caressed An Lushan's thick back.
"Your Majesty, with the heart of Weichen, whether you come to Beijing or not will listen to Your Majesty's words. However, there is a villain in the center, and a certain person is unwilling to go to the same dynasty with the traitor. Since some people were suspicious, the minister resigned as the envoy of the Hedong Festival to reassure the world. An Lushan's words were very strong, and everyone in the hall was stunned.
"Since An Qing insists on resigning, if I don't allow it, it will be unkind. In An Qing's opinion, who can take over as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu? Li Longji pretended to be helpless.
"In the imperial history, Cheng Jiwen once served as the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and he is familiar with the soldiers and horses in Hedong, so he is worthy of this position." An Lushan has long had a belly case.
"Geven?" Li Longji's expression was complicated, because Gao Lishi's previous proposal was to transfer An Lushan to Beijing as a privy envoy, and at the same time lead the two towns of Fanyang and Hedong. In order to avoid An Lushan's coldness, his eldest son An Qingzong will serve as the deputy envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu and know the future; And the post of deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu and the post of governor of the future was intended to be given to Ji Wen to ensure that An Lushan and Yang Guozhong were both acceptable. Except for Ji Wen, anyone else who recommended him to serve as the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu would inevitably be opposed by An Lushan or Yang Guozhong.
Li Longji didn't consider transferring Shi Siming to Hedong, but he didn't want to force Li Heng to be too anxious; As for the Yongwang Yaoling proposed by the crown prince, Li Longji would not agree to it at all.
But Li Longji never expected that An Lushan would take the initiative to resign as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu and recommend Ji Wen to take over. An Lushan's actions swept the ground like a storm, sweeping away the gloom in his heart. The reason why he accepted Gao Lishi's plan was that Li Longji was worried that An Lushan would not be willing to give up the position of Hedong Jiedu, so he used the privy envoy to respect Yi Hedong's military power. But at this moment, An Lushan took the initiative to resign, which made Li Longji hesitate whether to transfer An Lushan to Beijing. After all, among the festivals and towns in various places, he trusts An Lushan the most. And although the privy envoy has the right to control the rights of the world's festivals, it is not as good as directly ordering 100,000 male soldiers after all.
"What do you think?" The hesitant Li Longji asked.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this is very appropriate." Yang Guozhong hesitated for a moment before saying slowly, not letting An Lushan enter the dynasty and dividing his power is what he values the most.
"Son-in-law respectfully listens to his father's ruling." Seeing that both danger and opportunity were lost, Li Heng turned to the sidelines.
"The sons and daughters also respectfully listen to their father's ruling." After Li Qi made eye contact with Li Renzhi, he said unhurriedly: "But Erchen still thinks that the king of Beiping County should enter Beijing as a privy envoy. ”
"Weichen always believes that only the king of Dongping County can be appointed as a privy envoy." Gao Xianzhi insisted on An Lushan.
"The old minister has no objection." Chen Xilie muttered, but did not indicate that he had "no objection" to anything.
"Wechen has no objection." Zhang Jun saw that the prince was silent, and he didn't have much to do.
"Hey......" Wang Fei sighed lowly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), although he and Li Renzhi, who accompanied the last seat, attended the court meeting, they were not allowed to comment on national politics without a special summons: "An Lushan is obviously prepared, but where did the news leak from?" Forcing him to enter Beijing is afraid that he will become a mirror again, but fortunately, he finally cut off another town, and he has gained a little. Fan Yang's army is full of 91,400, even if An Lushan secretly manipulates tens of thousands of private soldiers, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses alone are not enough to subvert the world. The right is to boil the frog in warm water, and if it takes some time, it will definitely be able to cook and steam the rampant An Lushan. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has objections!"
While sighing, Wang Fei suddenly heard someone in the hall shouting loudly. According to the prestige, it turned out to be Ji Wen, who had been silent since the court meeting.
"Oh, what does Ji Qing think?" Li Longji glanced at Ji Wen, whose eyes were gloomy, and his face was uncertain.
"Your Majesty, Weichen's virtue is shallow, he is overwhelmed, and the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory have made the ministers anxious, so he does not dare to take up the post of envoy of Hedong Jiedu." Gwen's words were earnest.
"Ji Jiulang's words are very pertinent." Yang Guozhong said subconsciously.
"Oh, Yang Guozhong's attitude is very strange...... Wang Fei suddenly realized: "An Lushan's strategy of retreating to advance and breaking his tail to survive seems to have been taught by Ji Wen behind Yang Guozhong's back, so Yang Guozhong is dissatisfied with Ji Wen. It's just that I don't know what kind of agreement Jiwen and An Lushan reached? What is the purpose of his refusal to accept the envoy of Hedong Jiedu......"
"What does Ji Qing mean?" Li Longji's disgust eased slightly.
"The king of Dongping County has worked hard for the country for many years, if His Majesty lightly allows him to leave office, won't it make the king of the county feel cold and the civil and military hearts of the Manchu Dynasty? However, the king of Dongping County is very strong, and if His Majesty is forced to stay, it is not beautiful. For the sake of both, the minister was willing to lead Hedong from afar, but asked Anqingzong to serve as the deputy envoy of Hedong Jiedu and know the future affairs, so as to comfort the king of Dongping County for many years of hard work. ”
"What about the Privy Counsellor?" Li Longji asked.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Sheng and the ministers are in dispute because of the privy envoys, or they will promote the king of Dongping County to enter the court, or recommend the king of Beiping County to return to Beijing. Although the minister was stupid, he was surprised that there was another way, why should he go far and near. "Givan deliberately sold it.
"Seeking the near and far?" Li Longji was a little dazed for a while.
"Huh?!" Colliers opened his mouth and almost shouted.
"Could it be? It's just ......" Wang Fei vaguely guessed Ji Wen's plan.
"Your Majesty, Gao Xiangguo has been guarding Anxi for many years, invincible, invincible, can be described as famous all over the world, and the proposal to set up the Privy Council is the first initiative of Gao Xiangguo, so Weichen recommended Gao Xiangguo to serve as a privy envoy."
"Your Majesty, Ji Yushi's words are ill-intentioned, and the minister does not dare to agree. A certain initiative to set up a Privy Council, dedicated to the country, not attached to fame and fortune, greedy for officials. Gao Xianzhi's face was as cold as frost. During the previous discussion, Gao Xianzhi thought that someone might recommend him as a privy envoy, so he made up a statement early.
"Gao Xiangguo misunderstood!" Ji Wen, who was scolded by Gao Xianzhi, still had a smile on his face: "Gao Xiangguo is clean and self-conscious, and cherishes feathers, how can Ji not know." However, Gao Xiangguo kept saying that he was dedicated to the country, so he dared to ask Xiangguo, did he ever have the heart to worry about the saint? ”
"What do you mean by this?" Gao Xianzhi's blood was inflated and angry.
"That Gao Xiangguo can know that after the winter solstice court meeting the year before last, the government and the opposition talked a lot, complaining that Gao Xiangguo had not been crowned king, and there were even bold people who questioned the injustice of the saint's governance." A fierce smug flashed in Jiwen's triangular eyes.
