29 The ape in the palm of his hand
Guo Rong's words are extremely scribbled, not to mention that Liu Yanseng's vision is blocked, and he doesn't know anything about it, even if he finds these words in the dim light, it is difficult to recognize. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Guo Rong's gesture is his aunt Chai since he was a child, his aunt is a woman, but her handwriting is very vigorous, not losing to men, Guo Rong has always imitated her handwriting, Guo Wei, who is Chai's husband, is naturally clear at a glance.
Guo Rong's heart was pounding, his father must be able to understand what he meant, and he was 100% sure of this, but it was impossible to expect whether his father would really make a decision based on this.
"Liu Yanseng, the position left behind in the southern capital was originally yours, and when you were first recommended, the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were originally the first to accept this, which is also a matter of pushing the boat along the river. However, now that there is such a branch in Dengzhou, even if this matter is finally resolved, I am afraid that the court's opinion of you will be more criticized. ”
Since the Kuixing incident, Liu Yanseng has two judgments on his future.
If he is lucky, then he can stay in this new Nanjing, Cao Zheng once analyzed him: Weisheng Army originally controlled Dengzhou, Junzhou and other prefectures and counties, and accompanied the capital to stand, which means that the imperial court will make a big festival of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Envoy and Anyuan Jiedu Envoy in the south of Xiangyang, together with his Weisheng army. In this way, Liu Yanseng will become a prince who truly dominates the party.
Even if he is unlucky, he can enter the court as an official, or even be tied with the group. As long as Guo Wei's thigh is firmly held, he will not end up in a position of high power and weakness.
However, now, suddenly there is a cattle slaughter case, which naturally increases the variables. Guo Wei just said: The position left behind "is still his", this seems to be a relief, but the second half of his sentence is meaningful, in short, this reassuring pill makes Liu Yanseng not steady.
"The candidates for the remaining in the southern capital have been preliminarily decided, but the Privy Council, the three provinces, the three envoys, and the political affairs hall have not yet gone through the statutes, and now if there is a dispute in the court, the whole matter will be shelved without limit, and we have to take a step back."
"The words of the privy council, the subordinate officials are inexplicable, since there is another discussion in the court, of course the subordinate officials who stay behind will not dare to accept it."
"You are serious, you still have to do it to stay behind," Guo Wei reassured him, and then the words immediately changed: "But government affairs and military affairs, I'm afraid they are all taken care of." ”
Liu Yanseng was taken aback, and he immediately understood what the other party meant: "This is borrowing the slope to get off the donkey, and he wants to cut the military power of the place." "Beijing has always been a big circle of festival envoys, the power of the military is single-handed, if the imperial court takes advantage of the southern capital to set a precedent and goes on like this, then there will be no reason for the other three to accompany the capital in the future.
Guo Rong, who was hiding behind the screen, sat down slowly, knowing that his father not only understood what he meant, but also had roughly the same opinion as himself.
Guo Wei suddenly looked surprised: "By the way, why did you keep standing as soon as you came in?" Liu Shuai, sit down. ”
Liu Yanseng felt that the power of the person in front of him was unpredictable, his knees were bent, and his buttocks had not yet settled, when he heard Guo Wei say coldly: "The main government or the main soldier, but you choose the same." ”
Before the words fell, the ears of the person with weak legs, "poof" sat down, and almost fell. Liu Yanseng opened his mouth widely, but he couldn't speak for a while, and after a moment of silence, he had no choice but to smile and say: "This is a matter determined by the court, how dare a foreign minister at the end dare to say more than half a word." ”
"Listen to your intentions." Guo Wei quickly grabbed the conversation. ”
Liu Yanseng felt the burning gaze of the person opposite baking his whole body, hesitated for a moment, and had to reply unwillingly: "Although he was born in the military, he was in charge of affairs as an official in the army at the beginning, so he was naturally willing to push the decree for the imperial court." ”
Guo Wei was silent for a long time before nodding slightly: "That is the case, you can stay in the capital and wait for the will of the court slowly." As for the aftermath of the Dengzhou case, there is no need to worry too much, as soon as the cattle slaughter case is over, you will immediately play a copy and ask yourself to hand over the military power of Dengzhou. ”
Liu Yanseng knew in his heart that he was in the capital, and it was difficult to communicate with his henchmen, and Shi Zaide was simply kicked in the heart behind his back. Since even the old life has to wait for Guo Wei to save it now, it can only be at his mercy.
He said in his heart: "Things are not clear yet, and when Cao Zheng enters Beijing, he can naturally hear what he thinks." Thinking of this, my heart was a little relieved.
"The privy council can preside over justice for the case in Dengzhou, this is a great grace, and it is difficult for Yan Seng to repay him for his broken bones."
"It's serious, you're a general, broken thing, hum...... It really won't be your turn in twenty or thirty years. Well...... There is also that Cheng Kuiyuan, the Privy Council sent a quick envoy to the south to inquire the day before yesterday, but there was no shadow. Guo Wei glanced at the screen where his son was again: "But you don't have to worry, although Xuzhou and Chenzhou are a wolf's den, if your "cold bottle" is a smart person, he will naturally take a detour." ”
Liu Yanseng heard this and his heart was wide, he had been waiting in Beijing for a few days, and his heart was already full of anxiety, although he had encountered a major event that touched his head, but after all, he saw the privy envoy today, and his heart was much more stable. Thinking that it was getting late now, he followed Guo Wei's words to talk about a few trivial things at home, and was ready to retire.
Guo Rong hid behind, knowing that his business was not over, and after Liu Yanseng left, his father would definitely ask him what he thought about the candidate for the head of the Southern Capital. But now he has no clue in his mind.
Sure enough, after Liu Yanseng left, Guo Wei split his head and said: "Rong'er boy, what do you think of this Liu Yanseng?" ”
Guo Rongqiang endured the pain behind him, walked out from behind the screen, he pondered for a moment and replied carefully: "This human nature is astute, and everyone knows that he was not surprised when he was in the northern country. He also has an excellent memory, in fact, since he is proficient in Liao, if he can enter the court as an official to help the court guard against the northern kingdom, his father will add a response to the court, it will be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Guo Wei smiled: "This person does have a good memory, and he also knows Liao. But this fine eye is also a general talent (note: that is, the translator), plus the impatience of dealing with things, the so-called change is not surprised, to say that it is difficult to hear that there is no ability to be decisive at the moment, and the first time to lead the troops was not long ago. By the way, he was originally the envoy of the loyal army, but he was temporarily appointed when the Liao lord entered the Central Plains and was forced to retreat, and was posthumously recognized by the first emperor of this dynasty. Liu Yanseng has been in the north for many years, and he hasn't learned much about good things, and what "Ling Chi" invented by the Liao people was brought back by him, if it weren't for our occasional care, he must have been deposed by the official for the crime of abuse of torture. Let such a person stay in the court, don't help in big things, and mess up small things, how do you know whether it's happy or sad? ”
Seeing that Guo Rong was silent, he stroked his beard again and laughed: "Don't pretend, with my son's ability to observe people, I must have known this person's catties and taels, but I just said a big word and was taught a lesson by me, and now I shrank my head again, right?" ”
He saw that his son was still naked, trembling slightly, and the fire in the house was not strong, so he didn't feel very comfortable.
"Cold, huh? Drape this. ”
Guo Rong touched the thing his father handed over with his hand, it turned out to be a brightly colored fur coat, Guo Rong knew that this was his father's favorite tiger fur fur. If you put it on, the flesh and blood behind it will be blurred, and you will ruin this fine fur.
"What are you hesitating about? Let you put it on, and then put it on. No matter how many books you read, you are still a stunned boy who is arrogant and unashamed, and you can't change it! For the father or that sentence, in front of me, I am still not allowed to pick only what I like to hear, but some big words are not allowed to be said, but not to think, understand? ”
Guo Rong nodded and put on the fur fur, but there was no expression of gratitude on his face, Guo Wei saw that he had recovered his "stunned", but he liked it.
"Dengzhou, Xiangyang is located in the place is to rush, south of Jingnan, Ma Chu, although has always been to the Central Plains, only I am the head of the horse, but once there is chaos in Jiangbei, things are unpredictable. Who is the best manager of this south side? ”
Guo Rong knew that this question would come sooner or later, and immediately replied: "Under the command of the national army, Han Tong is capable and worthy of a great responsibility. ”
"Han Tong is courageous, brave to take responsibility, and has the best friendship with me, of course it is good. It's just that this person is not handsome, and the things are specific and subtle, so he does it better. For example, in recent years, the siltation of the Bianhe River has become worse day by day, and I am afraid that the Tongji Canal will not be used in a few years, and it will be appropriate if he is allowed to lead military households to do such things. But if there is an urgency and it has to be decided by authority, he will not be able to. ”
"Bai Wenke is old, and Zhao Hongyin's residence is also an important position, so he can't get out of it at all. Others...... The rest of the children really can't think of it. ”
Guo Wei saw that he wanted to stop talking, and suddenly guessed his thoughts, so he asked with a smile: "Actually, you want to say: You yourself are the best candidate, but right?" ”
Guo Rong sighed and replied, "How dare the child...... Besides, the proposal to set up a capital was originally advocated by the father, and if the son was the military commander of Deng and Xiang, the Manchu Dynasty would definitely gossip. ”
"That's right, first, you are still young, and you still have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, huh...... This verse is self-explanatory. Dengzhou's terrain is less dangerous to base, the city defense is also slack, although this time the city is set to accompany the capital or have a change, but always have a capable person to guard this important place to rest assured, sometimes although nepotism can be used, but in major matters but never, Dengzhou this layout is so big, if not only the move, then what is the meaning of me to do this three towns in one? This position of the leader of the capital, let me think about it again, I have to find a candidate who can be acceptable to us and Su Fengji. ”
Guo Wei took the wine that his son had just poured, drank the cup to the brim, and continued:
"Both, I also need you to stay by my side and find something else. You have suffered enough whips today, and if you continue like this, how can I deal with myself as a father? This guard doesn't have to really do it, it's better to just keep the false title of the left guard general, and turn back to help me run the military affairs together. ”
Guo Rong's heart sank: "What does my father mean, could it be that he is going to go on an expedition again?" ”
"You guessed right, Hou Yi came back from the northwest, and Kaifeng Yin's seat was given to him," Guo Wei poured himself another cup, frowned and said: "This Shi Hongzhao, pushed this person but didn't discuss it with me, now Wang Jingchong is in Longyou, but Hou Yi is back, this matter of the host and guest transposition is completed, there will be chaos!" ”
Although Guo Rong knew that his father had a reason, he had some ideas about staying in Dengzhou, and he had one of the most fundamental ideas, and he didn't dare to say it.
He didn't think about the antagonism in his heart at all.
