Eleven Niang heard Zheng Min call herself "princess", and she didn't know each other anymore, and they were not familiar with each other, and they were more comfortable keeping a certain distance, so they also called each other with their official position: "Zheng joined the army to increase the army?" ”

Zheng Min bowed: "Although the order of the imperial court to increase troops has been issued, the war situation is urgent, and the governor of Wang Du is quite impatient, advocating that the imperial court simply transfer the forbidden army or supplement the border army, and immediately be able to unite with the Wuwei Hou Department to recapture the lost territory of Yan Zhao." ”

Shi Niang smiled and shook her head: "The Queen Mother will never allow the forbidden army and the border army to aid Yunzhou, unless the governor of Yunzhou is replaced." ”

These words were quite to the point, and even the serious Zheng Min smiled: "The governor only accepts sergeants and refuses the imperial court to appoint deputy generals, and his ambition is undoubtedly obvious, and of course the imperial court will not allow it." ”

"Although I have heard my father mention that Wang Jingu is also a little brave, but he is not loyal to the monarchy, and his heart of self-respect is obvious, so Zheng Senjun thinks that Wang Jingu is like Pan Bo, and he also has the heart of rebellion?"

"He doesn't have the courage and insight of Panmbo." Zheng Min unceremoniously judged his superiors: "Although the governor has guarded the border pass for many years and has also gathered the hearts of his troops, but if you want to talk about actual combat, except for the last time to assist the new Turkic monarch to conquer the barbarians, there is no achievement, let's just say that not long ago, the Panliao coalition army attacked Yunzhou, if it were not for the help of Wuwei Hou, maybe it would have been defeated, but the governor has no self-knowledge, and still thinks that with the male army in hand, it is enough to dominate one side, so he is so eager to increase the army." ”

Seeing that Zheng Min's words were so direct, Eleven Niang mentioned the idea of rebuilding Yunzhou City.

"I don't want the princess to have this idea!" Zheng Min became excited: "It's not a secret, although the lower officials agree with the edict of the imperial court to implement the new system, they are not optimistic that it can be successfully achieved, because the new system will inevitably damage the interests of Taiyuan nobles, involving a vast number of people, and it will be difficult, but the increase in troops is imminent, but the promotion of the new system can not be effective in time, and it is really difficult to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of troops with the power of Jinshuo alone." ”

In wartime, military supplies should have been coordinated and spended by the household department, but back and forth, it is inevitable to consume manpower, material resources and time, so wars often occur, in fact, the imperial court will order neighboring states and counties to directly send military supplies to the front line, if it is the prosperous era of Wuzong, with the power of Jin Shuo alone, it is not difficult to feed a million troops, but at present, the noble occupation has become a trend, the people have lost a lot, and the tax revenue is insufficient.

The queen mother was unwilling to transfer the taxes of the rest of the states and counties to Jinshuo, only because the inner treasury was empty, on the one hand, she still wanted to build a mausoleum, on the other hand, she even planned to expand the tent Lai Palace, so she agreed to implement a new policy in Taiyuan Mansion, the idea was nothing more than to squeeze money and grain from the hands of the Taiyuan nobles to relieve their own constraints.

"If Yunzhou City is rebuilt, and then the new system of Taiyuan Mansion can be implemented, the power of Jinshuo will be enough to support war readiness!" Zheng Min was excited, but suddenly depressed: "Since the imperial court is afraid of Yunzhou, how can it allow it to be rebuilt?" ”

Governors like Wang Jingu not only have the power to unify the army, but also have the power to govern Yunzhou, but at the moment Yunzhou is just a lonely place, except for the soldiers, and there are no people living in peace, and governance has become empty talk, but once Yunzhou is rebuilt and the people are moved to farm, then Wang Jingu will be given more powers, and this impact is no less than the direct transfer of the forbidden army, and the imperial court will certainly not allow it.

"If Wang Jingu is stripped of his position as governor, the imperial court will certainly be happy to see Yunzhou rebuilt." Eleven Niang said.

"The princess is planning to ......" Even though she was as calm as Zheng Min, her eyes widened in shock by the words of the woman in front of her.

"Return the military power of Yunzhou." Eleven Niang bowed: "Therefore, Zheng Shenjun needs to lobby in the middle, and the first step is to persuade Wang Jingu to promise that after the reconstruction of Yunzhou, he will follow the example of Taiyuan Mansion to implement the new policy, and the court will naturally lobby by me." ”

If Yunzhou is rebuilt and people are recruited from all over the country to move in, Shi Niang will naturally not let Wang Jingu exploit the people's wealth, because this may affect the implementation of the new system in Taiyuan Mansion, but how easy is it to cut military power? With the current situation, it is impossible to get rid of Wang Jingu and then build Yunzhou City, so Eleven Niang must prevent the people from resentment and strive to ensure that the people who move to Yunzhou City have no worries about food and clothing.

Zheng Min thought carefully for a while, and then bowed his head: "You can give it a try, now that the enemy army is pressing, Wang Dudu is focusing on increasing his troops, as long as he can see the hope of expanding his strength, it is not difficult to persuade him to be lenient in governance." ”

"As long as Wang Jingu is moved, he may wish to join the army to explain that His Royal Highness and I will go to Yunzhou to discuss government affairs with him." Eleven Niang said again.

Although the Queen Mother granted her the right to govern, if she went to Yunzhou, she would naturally have to come forward as a "decoration" of King Jin.

"I will fight for the supervision authority of Yunzhou's government affairs, and I hope to join the army to persuade Wang Jingu to compromise."

Eleven Niang's struggle is, of course, aimed at the imperial court, and Wang Jingu's side is indispensable for Zheng Min, a strategist, to mediate.

"Will the princess be able to ensure that the reinforcements will be in place in time, and in the process of rebuilding Yunzhou City, the military supply will not be cut off?"

"Of course that's guaranteed."

"Good!" Zheng Min slapped the case hard: "Then the lower official can give it a try." ”

Now that the preliminary intention has been reached, Shi Niang will dig deep into the roots of Wang Jingu: "Although it is mentioned in the book of joining the army and the father's family, Wang Jingu is not a loyal and brave minister, but he has not talked about his character in detail, the Wang family has been guarding for many years, and if you want to shake its foundation, you must conspire and scheming. ”

Although after a short conversation, Zheng Min was very convinced of Princess Jin on the basis of her preconceived ideas, and of course she would not hide her secrets anymore, but when he was about to tell Wang Jingu's character, he suddenly realized that the princess was a woman after all, and many words were difficult to speak, and he hesitated for a while: "Perhaps, it is more convenient for the lower official to talk to His Royal Highness in detail?" ”

Eleven Niang disagreed: "Your Highness doesn't care about these trivial matters." ”

Zheng Min had also heard of King Jin's imperiousness and imperiousness, although he was still a little embarrassed in his heart, he had no choice but to speak up.

——

He also said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin, since the return of Guangyang, the excitement of the first battlefield has long passed, and these days are rarely with the three generations of the Mao family waste hypocritical entertainment, I really feel annoyed, this day was originally entangled by Mao Wei's grandson, and I want to go to the Fenshui Pavilion in the middle of the city to spend all day drinking, I don't want to ignore the family knowledge, said that there are distinguished guests to visit, the princess told to go back early, His Royal Highness the King of Jin immediately smiled, and he wanted to use this excuse to send Mao Dalang.

Mao Da is also accustomed to being familiar with King Jin these days, and he dared to laugh: "I didn't expect His Highness to be afraid of guilt?" ”

"Who said that this king is afraid of guilt?" He Ye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Don't think that I don't know Mao Wei'er's calculations, it's nothing more than trying to use and instigate me, hinder the queen mother's plans, let him do whatever he wants, and play with the king like a fool." ”

With a whip, he whipped straight at Mao Da, beating the pampered son's brother to open his flesh, and King Jin sneered and walked away.

Mao suffered a loss, Fang He woke up and realized that he was facing the living king of Hades, where did he dare to talk more, crying and going back to see his grandfather, Mao Wei was angry: "Princess Jin has a good means, she can actually persuade He Ye, a fool, He Ye can say such a thing, it is nothing more than the Liu family blowing the wind on the pillow and hurting the old man!" This woman, with the support of the Queen Mother, dared to be so domineering! ”

The strategist beside Mao Wei, that is, the support of the King of Shu, hurriedly added fuel to the fire at this time: "The Queen Mother actually listened to the words of a woman, obviously dissatisfied with Fu Yin, and secretly told the King of Jin to listen to Concubine Liu, Concubine Liu was originally friendly with the five sons of Chang'an, and would inevitably help Wei Xiang, and now Fu Yin is in a difficult situation, since he can't befriend the King of Jin, he should consider how to deal with it, and his subordinates think that there is no need to waste their minds on King Jin." ”

Mao Wei was still hesitating, and he didn't want to completely turn his face with the Queen Mother until he had to.

"Jin Wang Ye is stupid, don't look at his obedience to Concubine Liu at this time, it's nothing more than because of the new marriage, maybe it won't be long before he likes the new and hates the old, of course I will consider the countermeasures, but it is inevitable to have a bad relationship with King Jin, and there are some things that can't be too impatient."

In this way, Mao Da's whip was in vain.

When the King of Jin returned home, of course he would not discuss official business with Zheng Min, pretending to be a hooligan, and smiling very treacherously: "I listened to the princess's explanation, and immediately came back early to entertain the guests, and the princess can be praised today." ”

"Distinguished guest" Zheng Min was almost choked by wine, and even Yin Ru was embarrassed, but she didn't dare to meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin, even after many years, she still remembered the cruelty of the living Hades who cut off one of Liu Yingyu's maidservant fingers without saying a word.

The family banquet of Yuguanju was carried out in a somewhat strange atmosphere.
