The chaos in Jingzhou is only bad for the court and the emperor, not good.

Now that Youzhou and Jizhou are in drought and chaos, they already need the support of a large grain-producing state like Jingzhou, and the chaos in Jingzhou has put greater pressure on the emperor and the imperial court.

Wang Cheng is the assassin of Jingzhou selected by Wang Yan during the reign of King of the East China Sea, and he is not the emperor's person, even if Wang Cheng says that he supports the emperor, will the emperor and the court dare to believe it?

What's more, Wang Cheng not only didn't say anything, but didn't even do it, went to Jingzhou for three years, and successfully made Jingzhou a mess.

Therefore, the emperor has long wanted to change Wang Cheng, and the ministers in the court, Zhao Zhongyu and others want to change even more.

But although the Langya Wang clan has lost a Wang Yan, it still has a deep foundation.

Now there are few Langya Wang clans in Yuncheng, but in all states and places in the world, the children of Langya Wang occupy important positions.

Wang Dun is now the assassin of Gwangju, Wang Han is also in Gwangju, Wang Dao is in Xuzhou, he is a confidant and friend of King Langya, and the younger generation is scattered all over the place, not to mention, Wang Yan's daughter is not serving under Zhao Hanzhang?

There is also Wang Rong's son Wang Xing, I heard that it is now the county magistrate of Yiyang County, Hongnong County.

So they wanted to replace Wang Cheng, but they couldn't.

Wang Cheng is not good, but there is one excellent, his reputation is very high, and he has been pushed in the literary world, in the past, as long as there was an article comment, Wang Yan respected him, as long as he commented on the article, Wang Yan would not comment again.

So although he didn't do anything in Jingzhou, there were few people in the world who scolded him, and the local gentry in Jingzhou secretly hated him, after all, the board fell on them.

Today, even if it is Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi, it cannot be said that Wang Cheng's assassination position will be replaced, otherwise Gou Xi will not always shrink in Yanzhou, wanting to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes obey; Zhao Hanzhang had already taken advantage of the situation to go south and take Jingzhou.

Wang Cheng is willing to resign and leave at this time, and the people who take over are Wang Yifeng and Wang Xuan, otherwise, Jingzhou will have to fight down to replace the assassin Shi.

Zhao Hanzhang wrote to the emperor, stating that Wang Cheng, the assassin of Jingzhou, was unwell, and Jingzhou had many affairs, and it coincided with the rebellion of the rebels, so he asked for the replacement of the Jingzhou assassin history.

Zhao Hanzhang recommended Wang Yifeng, saying that she was the queen of the Wang family, she was smart since she was a child, and she had the ability to never forget, and she was as solid as a rock and had a benevolent heart, so she should be a state assassin.

Wang Yifeng used to be the chief bookkeeper of Luoyang County, and then he was the history of Peng by Zhao Hanzhang's side, and the largest official position was from Qipin, and now he is recommended as the history of the state assassin.

Even if it is a troubled time now, the courtiers feel that Zhao Hanzhang's recommendation is too bold, and even Zhao Zhongyu is slandered in his heart, but he still has to make up for Zhao Hanzhang.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tingshi also recommended his brother Wang Xuan as the Sima of Jingzhou."

Only then did the courtiers react, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you let Wang Xuan be the assassin and Wang Yifeng assist?"

"Wang Yifeng has also served as the chief bookkeeper and Peng History, but Wang Xuan has never been a official, so he may not be able to manage the military and government of a state."

"But Wang Xuan is talented and famous, and he is a person who can be as famous as Wei Jue."

"Hmph, don't take talent by talent, just look at fame, Jingzhou is in chaos because of this, on fame and talent, Wang Sikong also said that Wang Cheng is the first in the world, has he managed Jingzhou well?" Jia Kai snorted coldly and said: "The imperial court should be like Zhao Tingshi, for the generals to value martial arts, for the people to value literary talent and morality, benevolence and love for the people, each of them to fulfill their responsibilities, so that the world can be peaceful." ….

Zhao Zhongyu immediately responded: "Exactly, Zhao Tingshi recommended Wang Yifeng, it must be because she has the talent to govern the people."

The emperor thought for a while, turned his head and called the chamberlain, "Go to the General's Mansion and ask the General what he means."

The courtiers fell silent, waiting for Gou Xi's reply.

Gou Xi locked himself in the general's mansion again and did not go out, every day passing under the wall of his house, you could hear the music and singing inside, the emperor can basically make his own decisions on small matters, and he still has to send someone to discuss with him on major matters.

If he is not consulted on a major matter, even if the edict is issued, he will recover it and renegotiate it when he learns about it. A few days ago, the emperor issued an edict to appease the people of Youzhou and Jizhou, calling on the officials and gentry of the two states to fight the disaster together, for which he was exempted from Youzhou and Jizhou for two years

Taxes.

At that time, the matter was decided after discussion in the court, and the edict was issued, but the person who sent the edict was escorted back by Gou Xi's people in half a day, and he did not agree to directly exempt the two places from paying taxes for two years.

Direct tax exemption is just that the government of Youzhou and Jizhou does not deliver the taxes that should be paid to Yuncheng, and they themselves will definitely collect taxes with the people.

He believed that the emperor's move would not benefit the people, so he did not agree.

After the edict was recovered after leaving Beijing, the emperor lost face, and the contradictions between the monarch and the ministers became deeper and deeper.

And Gou Xi quieted down the court with floating thoughts without leaving home, and the people who wanted to defect to the emperor had to weigh the pros and cons, and stayed in place quietly like a chicken, and did not dare to betray Gou Xi.

The body is left in place, and it seems that the person who should be Gou Xi is still standing on his side, but the hearts of the people are scattered. Gou Xi insulted the emperor so much, and he indulged in his voice and ignored government affairs, which has long been very unpopular.

Today, Jia Kai's words are not only talking about Wang Cheng, but also scolding Gou Xi, when an official ignores the government, it is better to go home and farm, stand in the pit and not, what is the difference between Wang Yan and Gou Xi scolded before?

It would take a little time for Gou Xi to reply, and the emperor discussed other political affairs with them, such as his comparison of the summer solstice sacrifice.

Zhao Zhongyu was embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, most of the altar has been built, but the remaining required golden silk nanmu and fir wood have not yet arrived, so ......

The Emperor pursed his lips and asked, "Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Zhao Zhongyu said: "The golden silk nanmu was purchased from Shu and was supposed to arrive in Yuncheng at the beginning of the month, but because of the rebellion in Jingzhou, the team escorting the timber was trapped in Jingzhou and could not come out for a while."

"The fir wood was transported by Guilin County, all the way along the waterway to Jingzhou, and it was also trapped in Jingzhou at this time."

An official on the side immediately said: "Your Majesty, the grain purchased from Huainan is also trapped in Jingzhou, and now not only Youzhou and Jizhou are waiting for grain relief, but also the grain from Yuncheng will also be transported from Jingzhou."

The grain team was trapped in Jingzhou, and after a while, they couldn't even send the official's rice.

The summer harvest in Yanzhou alone is not enough.

An official said: "Wheat is already being harvested in various parts of Yanzhou, and according to the data reported by various counties and counties, Yanzhou is also affected by the climate this year, and the yield per mu is lower than in previous years."

Therefore, Jingzhou is very important, it is one of the east-west-north-south transportation arteries.

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "Let them find a way to go from Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and bypass Jingzhou first."

He said, "The matter in Jingzhou should be resolved as soon as possible."

Merchants from the west and southwest can first go around Shudi, then pass through Yuzhou, and those who come to Yuncheng from the south and southeast can go around to Xuzhou.

In this way, it is indeed possible to reach Yuncheng, but the cost is much higher.

The emperor was displeased in his heart, and seriously thought about Zhao Hanzhang's proposal, can Wang Yifeng and Wang Xuan, brother and sister, really be able to stabilize Jingzhou?
