Chapter 320: North Up and South Head
With half of the Shangzhou Wei's family property as the supplier of food and salary for the Dayan army, the ministers in the hall were also a lot more confident, and everyone also let go and said their thoughts.
Therefore, the meeting lasted until noon!
And there were a lot of things discussed and decided at the court meeting, not to mention that the third prince Ji Hongchang wanted to lead the troops north to Ningzhou, not to say that Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, wanted to lead the troops south to Jinzhou, just said that the second prince Ji Ping was also entrusted with a heavy task, and Ji Wen meant that he would be responsible for the supply of the army on the two battlefields in the north and south together with Tang Jian and Li Muzhi.
In addition to showing Ji Ping his attitude, he still believes in Ji Wen and values Ji Wen very much, but also has a purpose, which is to tie Ji Ping to this big war and not let Ji Ping be distracted to do other things, and he is not afraid that Ji Ping will use his power to damage the interests of Dayan, because with Li Muzhi in charge, and his henchman Tang Jian as his arm, it will be difficult for Ji Ping to succeed when he has bad intentions.
At the same time, a new round of personnel changes has begun.
After Cui Jingsheng was imprisoned in the prison, his position as secretary of the Ministry of Industry became vacant, and at today's court meeting, Ji Wen ordered Ye Qingchen to take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and appointed Ye Qingzhi as the governor of the government and participated in the resolution of the political affairs hall.
In this way, with the king of the council, Ji Wen came up with a strange official position to participate in political affairs, and the power to participate in political affairs is also very large, he can participate in national political decisions, and his position is the same as that of the prime minister, and because Ye Qingzhi is the prince of the country, this position is also limited to a scope, that is, unless the prince of the country is the wine of the priest, he is not allowed to serve as the governor.
Because it was clear that some of Ji Qian's henchmen were clear, and because of Ye Qingchen's promotion, their positions were vacated, and many people's official positions were promoted.
But overall, it was Ji Qingchen who took a big advantage this time.
Because of his relationship, his two uncles have entered the power center of Dayan, and the eldest uncle Ye Qingzhi is a governor of political affairs, with the same position as the deputy prime minister, and because he is the prince of the country, he has a noble status, and his status is comparable to Pei Wenju. The second uncle, Ye Qingchen, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he was a member of the Sixth Ministry, and he was also able to participate in national politics in the political hall.
All of a sudden, Ji Qingchen's strength has grown a lot.
Many people see this as Ji Wen's exchange of interests and concessions in order to win over Ji Qingchen and deal with Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang. In fact, only Li Muzhi, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju and a few others knew that Ji Wen had no selfish intentions in doing this, only public intentions. Because the war is imminent, this battlefield is estimated to last for several years, if Ji Qingchen goes out to fight, few of his henchmen will serve in the center, I don't know if someone will make him bad again after a long time!
After the end of the court meeting, only the four brothers Ji Wen, Ji Ping, Ji Hongchang and Ji Qingchen were left in the main hall.
This is deliberately done by Ji Wen.
Because he had something to say to the three of them.
"Two brothers, Lao Jiu, whether Dayan can survive the crisis this time depends on you!" Ji Wen groaned for a moment and said in a solemn tone.
Just now at the court meeting, everyone said lightly about the war between leaving the country and the Lingnan Yi tribe invading Dayan, but this is just the appearance, as long as people are interested in knowing what situation Dayan is in now, as long as Ningzhou is broken through by the Liguo Iron Cavalry, the North will not be able to stop the Liguo Iron Cavalry, and within ten days, the Liguo Iron Cavalry will be able to come to the King's Landing City. In the south, Jinzhou is not far from King's Landing, but the Lingnan Yi tribe is fierce and brutal, as long as the states occupied by them are burned, killed and looted, this kind of predatory invasion is more threatening to Dayan than the southward movement of the national iron cavalry. Because if the spread of this atrocity is not stopped immediately, it is estimated that the people will rebel because of the Lingnan Yi people, and the situation facing Dayan will be even more dangerous.
And Ji Wen is just a Dayan crisis here, and he never mentions anything else, so it can be seen that he also wants to use this matter to tie the three of them into the same boat again, share the same hatred, and fight the enemy together.
Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang didn't speak after listening, in front of everyone, they respected Ji Wen and regarded Ji Wen as the monarch of Dayan, but they didn't do it in front of Ji Wen, because they were not convinced that Ji Wen would ascend the throne and become emperor.
Seeing this, Ji Qingchen on the side was afraid of being cold, so he took the initiative to speak, "Please rest assured, Brother Huang, I will work together with the second and third brothers to drive the strong enemy out of Dayan and restore Dayan's former glory." ”
"Yes!" A reluctant smile appeared on Ji Wen's face, "When the ninth brother says this, I am relieved!" ”
He used to respect Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang very much, but now his monarch, the two are his brothers, but they are also his courtiers, and the two of them still don't treat him like this, he is also very angry.
"Third brother, this time you go north to Ningzhou and fight against Mu Feng, you have to be cautious!" Ji Qingchen was silent for a moment and said, "Senior brother's art of war is deeply rooted in the essence ......of the teacher, he is good at surprise soldiers, and he is even better at using heavy cavalry and light cavalry to fight mixed battles, we have no solution to his combat method now, we can only overcome it in the same way."
As soon as he talked about how to deal with the battle of leaving the country this time, Ji Qingchen couldn't hold it, so he told Ji Hongchang everything he knew, because he felt that he knew his senior brother Mu Feng very well, and the art of war was cloudy: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, so his advice to Ji Hongchang will play a vital role in this battle between the two armies.
And Ji Hongchang is also a handsome talent, and he is not arrogant, he is not blind, he is good at humbly listening to his opinions in commanding troops to fight, so when he knew the strength of Mu Feng, he already knew that this time he went north to Ningzhou to meet Mu Feng, which was the biggest powerful enemy he had encountered in his life, he could not take it lightly, and he should be cautious, so he listened to Ji Qingchen's words very carefully, and he remembered it word by word.
"Lao Jiu, don't worry! , these third brothers you said know everything! After Ji Qingchen finished speaking, Ji Hongchang on the side said to Ji Qingchen.
After pondering for a while, he continued, "It has been almost nine hundred years since the founding of Dayan, except for the danger of losing the country when it moved south, the situation this time is the most severe, and it has reached the point of crisis Jiangshan Sheji, and we are the people of Dayan, and we are the children of the Ji royal family. Therefore, please rest assured, Your Majesty will go north to Ningzhou this time, and the minister will definitely go all out to drive the Liguo Railway Cavalry out of Ningzhou! ”
He said these words sonorously and powerfully, which really expressed the true emotions in his heart, which moved Ji Wen on the side very much. I don't dare to fight between the two brothers for any interests, but as long as it comes to the life and death of Dayan, Ji Hongchang will definitely be a person who takes the overall situation into account.
And Ji Ping, who was on the side, saw that Ji Hongchang had already made a statement, but he was the only one who did not express his position, and he suddenly couldn't bear it a little, so he could only speak, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best to assist the privy envoy and Tang Shangshu to ensure the supply of grain and grass in Ningzhou, Xizhou and Jinzhou, and never let the front-line soldiers go hungry, which will affect Dayan's battle against the country and the Lingnan Yi tribe." ”
"Thank you, two brothers!" Hearing that Ji Hongchang and Ji Ping both expressed their positions, Ji Wen, who was still dissatisfied with Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang's dissatisfaction with their arrangement, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In fact, Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang are both talented people, Ji Ping is good at government affairs, and Ji Hongchang is good at military strategy, so as long as they are used well, they are definitely Dayan's two magic weapons. Ji Wen also understands this truth, so he will make such an arrangement for the two.
"I don't know when the third brother and the ninth brother of Lu Dao will leave?" Ji Wen saw that the relationship between the brothers was much more harmonious, and the atmosphere in the hall was much more relaxed, so he asked again.
When he asked this, his face showed a look of worry, because now the army of the Lingnan Yi tribe has set foot on Jinzhou, if Jinzhou falls, the army of the Lingnan Yi tribe will be close to King's Landing, and if the city of Ningzhou is broken, it will be equivalent to the fall of Ningzhou, and it will not be long before the soldiers of the national iron cavalry can still approach the city of King's Landing.
Therefore, don't look at him now as the emperor of Dayan, but the pressure on him is also very great, if he is not careful, he may have the possibility of becoming the king of the country.
"Time doesn't wait for me, Ningzhou City has been besieged for more than ten days, and the minister wants to go north to Ningzhou tomorrow." Ji Hongchang said cleanly.
Ningzhou is the foundation of the Liu family, so he knows the situation in Ningzhou better than Ji Wen and Ji Qingchen. Of course, in addition, he was so anxious to go to Ningzhou because of his public heart, because if he arrived in Ningzhou earlier, it would be possible to solve the siege of Ningzhou earlier.
"The enthronement ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, can't the third brother wait another day?" Ji Qingchen said.
This time, Ji Wen ascended the throne in a hurry, and he did not have enough prestige to lead the ministers, so the enthronement hall three days later was very important to Ji Wen, and the more people participated, the heavier the weight would be more helpful to Ji Wen.
That's why Ji Qingchen would say that.
"The war in Ningzhou is tense, so I can only ask Your Majesty for guilt!" Ji Hongchang said, bowing to Ji Wen.
"Third brother, don't worry about going to Ningzhou! It doesn't matter if you participate in the enthronement ceremony or not, as long as you can solve the predicament of Ningzhou, so that Dayan will have no worries in the north, and you will be able to deal with the Lingnan Yi people with all your might! Ji Wen said very openly, and then moved his gaze to Ji Qingchen and said, "What does Lao Jiu mean?" ”
"Brother Chen, let's go to Jinju after participating in the enthronement ceremony!" Ji Qingchen said lightly. For the army of 300,000 Lingnan Yi tribes, he attaches great importance to it, but it is not to the extent that he attaches importance to the iron cavalry of leaving the country. Because the Lingnan Yi people are strong and strong, they are indeed good at attacking tough battles, and it is their strength to conquer the city, so they will capture Yizhou in a short time, and the troops will approach Jinzhou. However, as long as his side can abandon the city and start a plain war with the Lingnan Yi tribe, the strong foot soldiers of the Lingnan Yi tribe will only be slaughtered under his Beirong iron horse.
For this reason, he is not afraid of the Lingnan Yi people entering Jinju, but he is looking forward to the Lingnan Yi people entering Jinju.
The Yi people are mountainous and not suitable for cavalry to charge and kill, and the Jinju Plain is the best place for cavalry to fight. Therefore, he looked forward to all the 300,000 troops of the Lingnan Yi tribe entering Jinju, so that he could be annihilated and teach the Lingnan Yi people a lesson.
