Chapter 303: Win-Win
"Wang Zhongyu? Before, Cai You, a scholar of Cai University, clearly said that it was Cai Qian who was responsible for handling Jiangnan affairs for Cai Xiang, why did he change people so quickly?
If the lower official remembers correctly, Wang Zhongqi is your father-in-law, Taishan! ”
Are you going to use your father-in-law to bear the blame for your son's death?
That's ruthless!
Jiang Chen pretended to be puzzled, but his eyes were full of contempt and mockery.
Hmm-
Cai Jing's face turned black with anger, and the back of his head jumped suddenly.
Song Yunheng saw it and shouted angrily: "Jiang Chen, that's enough!" Are you questioning the Asahi Jaesuke? Is it wrong that Wang Zhongyu was in charge of handling Jiangnan affairs and then transferred to Cai Xiang through Cai Xuan? ”
"That's it! For the sake of a few thousand war horses, he openly slandered the prime minister of the dynasty, which is simply selfish!
No wonder everyone said that Master Jiang relied on the Book of Heaven in his hands, and completely ignored the laws of the court and the ministers! ”
Song Yunheng echoed loudly.
Cao Kuo glared at Jiang Chen with an unkind gaze and said, "Vertical child, haven't you heard that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength?"
If anyone dares to have bad intentions, after the father of the country beheads them, they will be leveled one by one! Worried? ”
After that, he knelt down on one knee and prayed to Song Huizong: "Official, the old minister is willing to lead the troops to Jiangnan to exterminate the Fangla Rebellion for you!" I beg your permission! ”
"Old man, please get up!"
Although Song Huizong was unhappy to hold Cao Kuo, who refused to let go of the military power, for a long time, he had a respectful look on his face, and said with concern:
"Cao Guogonghu is old and majestic, I am very pleased!
But good steel should be used on the blade, you old man is still recuperating, waiting for me to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, why do you need to take action in person? ”
"Official, old minister, I ......"
Cao Kuo wanted to fight for it, but Song Huizong raised his hand and interrupted:
"Before, because of the bet between Yuan Chang and Liangchen, I had already promised Liangchen, if Zhu Mian could not pacify Jiangnan before the autumn harvest, let him lead the army to quell the chaos, how could he go back on his word? You must know that you have no jokes! ”
"The chief shouldn't have forgotten this, right?"
As Song Huizong spoke, he looked at Cai Jing with a little dissatisfaction.
Cai Jing's eyelids jumped with fright, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
He didn't know that Song Huizong was going to completely recover the military power in the hands of the Cao family and other old lords by destroying the old pole, and further strengthen the imperial power; didn't know that the culprit who made his plan fail was actually his good nephew Cai Xue.
He glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise and said, "The old minister naturally remembers!" However, Jiang Chen is young and has no experience in commanding troops, if there are three long and two short, wouldn't the Flood Desolation Benji and the secret recipe in it be peerless?
Please also ask the officials to think twice, don't let Jiang Chen go to the adventure easily! ”
"Jiang Chen is a member of the society, there is no room for mistakes, please think twice!"
"The minister is also opposed to letting Jiang Chen lead the troops to the battle! If he accidentally fell into the hands of Fang La, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”
Cao Kuo, Song Yunheng, Bai Shizhong and others spoke out against it.
"Thank you for your care and love!"
Jiang Chen was angry, and said confidently: "Everyone, please rest assured, the injustice of Fang La's rebellion is not because of how powerful he is, but because Zhu Mian's reincarnated beast has been evil to Jiangnan for many years, and it has completely lost the hearts of the people and aroused the anger of the people.
Therefore, as long as Zhu Mian is convicted, half of the banner of 'killing Zhu Mian and punishing Tong Guan' played by Fang La, and when the displaced people are properly resettled, the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River can be easily quelled, and there will not be much war and danger!
And for the resettlement of displaced people, is there anyone in the Manchu Dynasty who is better at it than the lower officials? How about Yuqing Villa, you have already seen it, right? ”
This......
Cao Kuo and the others frowned at the same time, convicting Zhu Mian will inevitably gain the hearts of the people in the entire Jiangnan and the praise of Shilin, and they also want this credit.
So they all said firmly: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" Jiang Daren is concerned about the welfare of the society, and he must not risk his life, so doesn't it seem that the Manchu Dynasty is a useless person in both civil and military affairs? ”
"Ben Xiang resolutely disagrees, Jiang Chen, don't think about it like this!
For the sake of your safety, Benxiang has a notoriety of not believing in his words, and he will never agree to let you go to Jiangnan to quell the chaos! ”
Cai Jing was anxious, pulled Jiang Chen's arm, and showed an expression of "I am good for you".
Uh-
You're a damn, shameless, aren't you?
Jiang Chen was so angry that his brain was buzzing, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, Gao Yu smiled at Song Huizong and said, "Official, if you and Cai Xiang and the others are worried about Liangchen's safety, why don't you let the minister accompany him to quell the chaos?"
The minister is willing to make a military order to ensure that Jiang Chen returns safely and triumphantly! ”
Hearing this, Cai Jing, Cao Kuo and the others were directly dumbfounded, they never expected that Gao Yu would also have the idea of making meritorious contributions, and suddenly come to such a hand.
Jiang Chen glanced at Gao Yu with satisfaction, thinking that his previous investment in the Gao family was not in vain, and hurriedly took the opportunity to salute Song Huizong:
"Master, Master Gao has won all battles in the Western Army and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, if this battle is commanded by Lord Gao, plus Master Zongzezong who has already been arranged on Huai'an South Road, it will be absolutely foolproof!"
"Good! Liangchen is very good, I will officially appoint Gao Yu and Liangchen as the marshals of the left and right roads today, and lead the Dragon Guard Army and the Jimin Army to quell the chaos together!
When the grain and grass are ready, I will go and fetch the head of the thief in Fang La for me! ”
Song Huizong originally intended to let Gao Yu gradually take over the forbidden army, and when he saw that Jiang Chen was willing to give up the credit, he immediately readily agreed.
Although the momentum of Fang La's rebellion grew stronger day by day, under the slanderous words of Cai Jing, Tan Zhen and others, Song Huizong still thought that it was just a group of outcasts and bandits who were not worth mentioning, and did not pay attention to it at all.
"Thank you, official!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Gao Yu and Jiang Chen looked at each other and smiled, both extremely satisfied with this result.
Gao Yu is satisfied because he has merit, and by the way, he can also take the opportunity to rectify and clean up the forbidden army under his command and completely control it in the fastest time.
And Jiang Chen is satisfied, because after the matter is finalized and he has Gao Yu as a powerful ally, he no longer has to worry too much about Cai Jing making a stumbling block.
After all, Gao Yu is Song Huizong's absolute confidant, and he was by his side when he was Duanwang, and the weight of his words was not lower than that of Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, and even more effective.
Otherwise, Song Huizong would not have worked hard to operate, and was bent on letting Gao Yu take over the entire forbidden army, which shows the degree of trust in Gao Yu in his heart!
Seeing this, Cai Jing and Cao Kuo were depressed!
But Song Huizong's holy decree has been issued, even if they are unwilling, they dare not refute it, so they can only keep their old faces gloomy and do not speak.
Song Huizong saw it and said with relief: "Cao Guogong and Yuan Chang don't have to be disappointed, after the Jiangnan rebellion is pacified, there is still a big battle to fight in Liao, and there is an opportunity for you to be loyal to me!" ”
As he spoke, Song Huizong glanced at Jiang Chen and said; "Liangchen, didn't you say that Li Yan sacrificed three sweat-and-blood horses to Beijing? I will call the shots and select the best two horses to reward Cao Guogong and Cai Xiang respectively, what do you think? ”
