Chapter 288: Secret Recruits
The Queen Mother's idea is very good, to solve the problem of displaced people, and to bring labor to the disaster victims in the north. Killing two birds with one stone, very clever. ”
Empress Dai curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said to Huang Mengcheng: "What Huang Qing said kills two birds with one stone, I'm afraid that's not what he meant." ”
Huang Mengcheng saw that she understood, and he did not hide it: "What the minister said kills two birds with one stone, but it is actually a more important gain in this regard." suppressed General Bai and let him know that without the permission of the Queen Mother, he could not make a decision. The second is to deter Lord Wei, which is to put pressure on the new minister, letting him know that the queen mother is the one who decides his life and death in the court. There is no other way out than obedience. As for whether it is effective or not, whether it can help one or two, it is not so important. ”
"This Lord Wei was personally recommended by Huang Qing, and if I treat him like this, Huang Qing has no dissatisfaction?"
Huang Mengcheng said with a smile: "Since he is the queen mother's courtier, it is naturally the queen mother who is in charge." ”
Empress Dai was very satisfied with his obedience and let him go down.
However, Shi Wang was still very concerned about this matter, and proposed that some officers and men of the army should be arranged among these displaced people sent to the north, who could provide labor and observe the movements, and if there was any change in these people, they could be suppressed immediately.
"Does she still think that she has the final say in the affairs of the DPRK and China?" Empress Dai said disdainfully, "It seems that it's time to tell her who is the real executor of the government." ”
In the recital handed over by Princess Yuanping, Empress Dai drew a big circle, indicating that it could not be appointed, and the rest did not say a word, and the domineering trend was self-evident.
This road is not passable, and Shi Wang can only find another way.
When General Bai was training in the army, he suddenly reported that someone asked to see him, and he was brought to the camp and took off his hood and turban.
Avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, Shi Wang informed General Bai of the situation in the north and persuaded him to think about turning around again, but General Bai refused.
"Princess, this matter has been decided by the Queen Mother, and it is not up to you and me to change it. I also hope that the princess will weigh her words and never say such things to me again. ”
In this way, Shi Wang was invited out of the barracks, and there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
Taking advantage of the sunny day, this team of displaced people, led by several soldiers, drove to the north.
"I know what Empress Dai has changed," Shi Wang said, "she has become bolder and no longer has to think about the feelings of others." ”
"She now felt that without the edict in her aunt's hand, there would be no one to fight for her, no one to control her thoughts, no one to oppose her opinions, so she had no scruples, even if she disagreed with her own people, she did not have to consider what they thought."
The longer you are away from the funeral, the more you can feel the arrogance of Empress Dai.
No matter who it is, the court has been scolded by Empress Dai, as if he is deliberately declaring his power and status.
But Shi Wang knew that he couldn't tell the secret.
Be patient.
If she was told the truth so quickly, I was afraid that it would add fuel to the fire, and no one would be able to bear the situation.
In this way, Shi Wang was oppressed by Empress Dai on the one hand, and worried about the unknown situation on the other.
Fortunately, there is frequent good news from the north.
Master Wei came to report that all the unproductive rice fields in the north had been harvested, and the new crop species would be ready to eat in a few months.
Those who later became homeless also obeyed orders and did not be soft at all when they did farm work, just like ordinary villagers.
During this time, the problem of eating has been solved by chefs with many years of experience, and the few remaining ingredients have been changed in a variety of ways to make food that can fill the stomach.
Although I don't know how Lord Wei made those homeless people obey orders, it is his ability to deal with this matter properly, how can he be harsh on it.
"I didn't expect this Master Wei recommended by Huang Qing to be so capable, which was beyond my expectations."
Huang Mengcheng was discussing with Empress Dai, and was a little surprised when he heard the news, and then smiled: "This is the blessing of the Queen Mother." ”
Empress Dai didn't take his compliment to heart, but took out a list with a few names on it, and said to Huang Mengcheng: "There are a few people here, you can change their surnames and identities and arrange them into various military camps, and they will be rewarded." ”
Huang Mengcheng immediately understood her intentions, took the list and retired.
In the following month, the various armies recruited new recruits to fill the vacant places, and a group of recruits with the surname Wei were scattered into the various armies and battalions, and they were promoted step by step in the fastest time.
This phenomenon was discovered by Qi Ping, and the list was collected and presented to Shi Wang.
When I looked at it, I knew what was going on.
"It's a repeat of the old trick again, Empress Dai promoted the military minister to promote the Wenchen, and after the promotion of the Wenchen, he used his hands and feet among the soldiers, is it possible, do you really think that you can be unscrupulous in the court?"
Qi Ping saw that she was angry, and he didn't know what to do.
"There are also a few people surnamed Wei among the people in our army who came to enlist, and I kept an eye on them, fearing that they were sent by Empress Dai, so I sent them back."
"You don't take it, you have someone else to take it. Moreover, if the surname Wei is included in the regulations for evaluating the enlistment of soldiers and soldiers, and they are included in the ranks of those who cannot be accepted, and those who are really talented but are really surnamed Wei are rejected, wouldn't it be unfair to them again. ”
Qi Ping also felt that such arbitrariness was not good, so he withdrew the proposal. And those who have passed are powerless to turn back.
How can such a dilemma be good?
Shi Wang sighed slightly in his heart, in the past, Dai was directly promoted, but this time it was more restrained, but it was a long line to catch a big fish. When these newly recruited officers and men are promoted to some higher positions, I am afraid that the situation of the military generals in the DPRK and China will be different from the current time.
It's just that I didn't expect that Empress Dai's paranoia about this matter had reached a crazy level, and she didn't hide her ambition at all.
If you want to stop her before it intensifies, if you really wait until the court is full of ministers surnamed Wei, it will be an uncontrollable situation.
Even if Empress Dai gets the day when the surname Wei is recovered, these people have no blood relationship with her, and whether she can be happy for the restoration of the Wei family in the end.
Is this situation really the ending she wants? She is so crazy, crazy, for the resentment in her heart to do so much, if she finally collapses, how can she get over the hurdle in her heart.
At that time, there are so many new ministers in the court, and they still don't know what the situation will be, and the person who promotes them will still be the rightful king.
All of this is unknown, and the unknown situation is the most helpless.
"If she continues to insist on doing this, the only way to do it is for her to know what position she is in."
Shi Wang sighed lightly, which contained a lot of helplessness.
Now that the DPRK and China continue to develop like this, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to get back the imaginary political situation when King Li ascended the throne.
