3,000 to 50,000?

Is that 50,000 pigs on the other side?

Doesn't it mean that the British Duke was born into a military family, but a veteran general in the army?

Doesn't it mean that Xiao Fengshan is both civil and military, and his battlefield attainments are extraordinary?

How did you lose so cleanly?

Was he captured by the First World War? It's all gone!

Hey? That's not right!

Isn't Jiang Yuhu guarding the spirit of the old army god?

When to go to Bishui Seki?

The messenger's simple words hung a long list of question marks on everyone's heads, startling the courtiers and courtiers.

And the various information behind this, and the various results that are about to be triggered, have made many people's brains spin at a rapid speed at this moment.

King Cheng was even more panicked in an instant, he dared to jump out, just because he thought that Lu Xiao's two thieves were now almost equal to soldiers coming to the city, and the Queen Mother and His Majesty must be facing a lot of pressure.

But nowadays.

Aren't these two people saying they are very powerful? How could he be hammered to death all at once!

Wan Wenbi was also dumbfounded, he and King Cheng's thoughts were much the same, but his skills were higher, his eloquence was better, and he found a better entry point, still trying to use this momentum to "force" the court to bow his head, so as to strengthen his prestige, gather the forces loyal to him, and then slowly completely consolidate this phase.

But who would have thought that in just a few days, Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan, who are invincible, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under their command, directly became prisoners.

And it was such a coincidence that he had just stood up and revealed something today, and the news arrived.

The courtiers above the court who had nothing to do with themselves looked at King Cheng and Wan Xiang standing in the audience with a somewhat complicated and strange look, and there were banter, ridicule, schadenfreude, and worry in their eyes.

These two people, one of them is pulling the banner of the clan relatives and nobles, in the name of protecting the society, but the best way to protect the society is still the sword soldiers, and the people who successfully protect the society are still the Jiang family;

One took advantage of the momentum of Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan's army to force the imperial court to compromise, but as a result, Lu Rusong and Xiao Fengshan were captured alive in a battle, and all the reasons began to become ridiculous and ridiculous.

In the midst of this silence, a voice sounded faintly.

"Why don't you rejoice in such good news, because you are not happy?"

Wei Yuanzhi seemed to not care about offending people at all, and said coldly.

You fuck you!

There was a scolding in everyone's hearts, and at the same time, there was a noisy cheer almost in response to the sound in the court, and then they began to busily make up for it.

"The ministers are just too shocked, and they are out of shape for a while, please let the Queen Mother and Your Majesty take a look."

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, it is really these 3,000 and 50,000 things, it is too shocking, and the ministers and others feel a little incredible for a while, please ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to learn from it."

"After this battle, the catastrophe is gone, the court can be safe, and the society can be safe!"

After the bead curtain, Concubine De said calmly: "You are worried about it, and Lord Wei is just a reminder when he thinks about it, and he has no other intentions. ”

Wan Wenbi slowly mixed up from a small person, and he had been immersed in the court for many years, so he quickly reacted and spoke loudly, "Your Majesty should ascend the throne in the sky, and he has the help of heaven, and the king of Anguo County captured two thieves in one battle to eliminate the great trouble, which is really the luck of the society and the people!" In this way, there is no need for those complicated means, Your Majesty is everywhere, and there are all sides to fear! ”

After speaking, Wan Wenbi lowered his head nervously, waiting for a response from above.

Concubine De's voice slowly floated out from behind the bead curtain, "Your Majesty Tianwei is extraordinary, but this victory also depends on the strength of the king of Anguo and all the soldiers under his command to fight hard to stabilize the country. ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't speak, Wan Wenbi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, "The old minister has the order!" ”

After a turmoil, coupled with such good things, the atmosphere above the court was naturally a lot more relaxed.

And at this moment, another figure stepped out of the ranks, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked, but saw that it was Xing Shigu, the new left attendant of the Criminal Department, and their hearts were shocked.

"Xing Qing, please speak."

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, now that the Holy Son of Heaven is newly established, and the rebels are surging in various places, it is advisable to summon all states and states to make a pilgrimage to meet them, ask about the situation, give a face-to-face lecture, good morning and overall situation, and return peace to the world and the safety of the people!"

"No!"

"Never!"

Xing Shigu's words fell, and he refuted several times one after another.

This time, it was not the open guns and arrows that were hidden before, fighting openly and secretly, but the courtiers sincerely opposed it.

And most of them are important ministers of the DPRK.

Everyone can hear that behind Xing Shigu's high-sounding words, he is forcing the state pastors to give an attitude, whether they are loyal or disloyal.

If you are loyal, you will obediently enter Beijing and let people eat meat, and if you are disloyal, then the court will naturally treat it according to the attitude of disloyalty.

In the Chengping season, there is no problem with this practice, the state pastor is a herdsman on behalf of the sky, and he is still a courtier of the imperial court, and if he can let you go up, he can naturally let you go down, let you go back to Beijing, or go directly to work, and he doesn't even need any reason.

However, the situation is different now.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, now that the situation in the Quartet is already unstable, rashly recruiting state pastors into the court is afraid of causing trouble."

"Queen Mother Mingjian, the current chaos in various places, the state pastor sits in the states, commands the counterinsurgency, once the state pastor leaves, the people of the states have no leader, if the rebels take the opportunity to sit big, the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Queen Mother, if the thirteen states today, except for the rebellion in Surabaya and Yunmeng, the rest of the states have their own worries, according to the old minister's opinion, when slowly plotting it, gather strength and soothe a state, and then implement it as usual, and then the world will decide on its own!"

"According to the words of your lords, now the state and state pastors have the military in their hands, and their strength is not bad, and the court cannot be offended, once they are dissatisfied, they may take the opportunity to make trouble, then I want to ask, is the courtier who coaxed out like this still my courtiers of Daxia? If you can't call it now, you can call it in the future? ”

Before Xing Shigu, who was making suggestions, could refute, Wei Yuanzhi jumped out again and spoke coldly.

He looked at everyone, "I was also recalled by the first emperor to Beijing as an official back then, why did I hesitate for a while?" Now His Majesty has summoned the governors of various states to join the court, not to call them to be killed, but to analyze the situation in each state and formulate a better strategy for suppressing bandits and quelling chaos. ”

"The court wants courtiers who are loyal to the country, not careerists who are self-respecting! If you follow your strategy, when will the world be pacified? One year, three years, ten years? You lie here with good wine and good food, can you afford to wait for your wives and concubines, and can you afford to wait for those people who are scattered in the war? ”

"Wei Yuanzhi! You are vexatious! ”

"Am I vexatious? What did I do wrong? ”

"Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh! How can it be so hasty and radical! What if they really rebelled against the states? ”

Wei Yuanzhi snorted coldly, "It's just the other way around!" The imperial court was going to send troops to quell the rebellion, one is peaceful, and two are also peaceful! If you want to die, then just give it a try! ”

"You!"

An old minister was so angry that he stomped his feet, and looked at Xia Jingyun with undisguised eyes, "The court is not so simple, if you are lonely and brave, you will suffer a big loss!" ”

Xia Jingyun looked surprised, "Lord He, is this talking about me?" ”

Looking at Xia Jingyun's innocent face, the old man's anger couldn't be released, and he turned to Concubine De and Dongfang Bai and bowed, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the old minister's words are from the bottom of his heart, and he is completely selfless, and now the situation is far from the time when he can sit back and relax, act cautiously, Xing Shilang's strategy is too much to take for granted, please think twice about the Queen Mother, please think twice Your Majesty." ”

With the old man's words, many people followed one after another, and above the main hall, a neat shout sounded, "Please think twice, please think twice, please think twice!" ”

At this point, Xia Jingyun no longer pretended to be dead, and stepped out of the ranks, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the minister has a word." ”

Dongfang Bai said eagerly: "Aiqing, please speak!" ”

Xia Jingyun said: "The traitor Dongfang Ming killed his father and ascended the throne, His Majesty raised troops to set things right, and the position is indisputable." Now that the court is established, the three southern states have been leveled, and Zhongzhou and Longshou Prefecture are also in hand, and the two thieves of Lu Xiao have been arrested, just sweeping the world to calm the people. Xing Shilang's suggestion was thought feasible for four reasons. ”

"At present, all the states in the world, except for Surabaya and Yunmeng, rebellions are everywhere, the smoke is everywhere, the people of Li are suffering from war and dispersion, and they have been repeatedly harmed by thieves and bandits.

"Outside the northern frontier, the Northern Liang is eyeing the tiger; In the land of Xirong, the extraterritorial tribes hide evil intentions; If we can't calm the world quickly, it is inevitable that a strong enemy will enter the army, and the war will be even worse. Therefore, the state that will lead the counterinsurgency will enter the court, and discuss the situation with His Majesty and the center, in order to quickly determine the world, and the second is also! ”

"The governors of all states are ordered by the Son of Heaven to take charge of the military and political power of a state, but the new emperor ascends the throne, and the techniques of governance are different. At the same time, the retention and replacement of these feudal officials all need to be decided by His Majesty with his own eyes, so there is nothing wrong with summoning them to the court for an interview. ”

"Finally, if those who are unwilling to enter the court, the center can also adjust its strategy to deal with the chaos in the state in a more prudent and reasonable manner, so as not to delay the opportunity, or even rashly send troops to the point of losing troops."

"To sum up the above reasons, the matter of recruiting the state pastor into the court is not as unreasonable as your ministers said, at least it has merit."

Many courtiers thought deeply of this, of course, these belonged to the category of wall grass, and they were originally negligible.

As for those who are really qualified to influence the court, or who plan to break their wrists with Xia Jingyun, seeing that Xia Jingyun is finally willing to stand up and debate, he immediately became excited like a cat that smelled a fishy smell.

"Marquis Jianning, the old man is still the same sentence, if the Quartet is unstable, what should I do?"

Xia Jingyun calmly, "Today's Quartet is no longer stable. ”

"Is the instability that the old man said and the current instability the same thing? Jianning Hou is above this court, does he also want to practice this sophistry? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Why is Yan Shaobao so unconfident in the feudal officials of our dynasty? If they are all loyal servants, why is there instability? ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, looking at Xia Jingyun, don't you know if these feudal officials are loyal or not?

You've already killed a feudal official, and now you're here to tell me that the feudal officials are all loyal ministers?

He looked at Xia Jingyun speechlessly, and another person with a faster mouth on the side had already retorted, "What if they are unfaithful?" ”

Xia Jingyun didn't reply, just looked at him with a smile.

The man reacted suddenly, if they were unfaithful, shouldn't they find a way to solve it?

In the court, there was suddenly no sound, so that a sound was passed through, and it seemed so clear.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Sixiang Prefecture Governor Wu Qi is trying to see you, and she is waiting outside the palace gate at the moment."

The ministers in the palace were instantly stunned, and there were many discussions, and when the queen mother summoned her, Wu Qili's figure really appeared outside the main hall, and the hall was in an uproar.

Is it really him?

Did a state pastor really take the initiative to enter Beijing and come to the court?

"Silence!"

The current leader, the eunuch Jin Zhong, flicked his whip, and everyone reacted and stood honestly and quietly.

Wu Qili, who had just washed his face, knelt on his knees and bowed, "Minister, Wu Qili, the governor of Sixiang Prefecture, meet the Queen Mother, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" ”

Dongfang Bai opened his mouth and said, "Wu Qing is flat." ”

Wu Qili didn't move, but honestly knelt on the ground, "The state pastor is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, but the minister knows that the first emperor died, His Majesty ascended the throne, and his allegiance is unbearable, so that he can't sleep all night, the day before yesterday I learned that His Majesty was enthroned ceremony, I really couldn't hold back, so I went to the court privately to ask for a meeting, and faced all the things in Sixiang Prefecture, the minister knew that he was guilty, please punish the Queen Mother and His Majesty!" I wish to stay this useful body, for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, for the country, and do a little bit! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, they didn't understand why he came to the court, thinking that they had learned about Lu Xiao's two thieves and entered Beijing in the starry night.

But it was precisely because they figured out this truth that they suddenly discovered that Xia Jingyun and the people of his faction really had merit in putting forward the suggestion just now?

Now that the imperial court is gaining momentum, it is a good time to do these things!

And there was already a rebellion, if there was really anything wrong, I was really not afraid, it was nothing more than a troublesome point, but if the world was decided, the peace was first seen, there was another rebellion, and another battle was fought, it would be more weighed.

"Wu Qing entered the court to ask for a meeting, and served the king with loyalty, and mourned his family. However, if there is no edict to enter Beijing, he has to be punished, and he will be fined for three years to set an example! ”

Concubine De slowly spoke, and directly decided on this matter.

Wu Qili was determined, knowing that this crucial step was finally the right one.

Just as he slowly got up, another message came from outside the hall, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Langya Prefecture Mu Lanting wants to see you, and she is also waiting outside the palace gate at this moment." ”

In the hall, all eyes instantly looked at Xia Jingyun.

Is all this also expected by this hot, prosperous, and well-known wise and demonic Jianning Hou?

When Lan Tingwang walked into the hall and saw that Wu Qili was actually inside, he chuckled in his heart, and secretly cursed that the dog thing ran so fast!

"Minister, Langya Prefecture Mu Lan Tingwang, meet the Queen Mother, meet Your Majesty, congratulate Your Majesty on your enthronement, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Almost the same words, between Concubine De and Lan Tingwang, they said it again.

But the difference is that Lan Tingwang also said: "The traitor Lu Rusong led the troops to sit in Langya Prefecture that day, and many wealthy families in Langya Prefecture have climbed to the top, and the minister has ordered the governor of the state to go to arrest him, and let the Queen Mother and His Majesty send it!" ”

"Lan Qing has a heart, how these people are convicted, let's discuss it in the center."

After Wan Wenbi received the order, Concubine De smiled and nodded, "The two secretaries are traveling around, and they will go to rest first, and then they will be summoned, and they will ask the two secretaries about the situation in the two states." ”

Wu Qili and Lan Tingwang respectfully agreed, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, looking at this posture, this half of the life of wealth will definitely be preserved, as for the power.

They invariably set their eyes on the man who stood at the forefront of the civil service, the obvious young man in the group of old men.

Amid the sound of dispersion, the officials walked out slowly.

Xia Jingyun followed several central ministers to the central courtyard of the political affairs hall, with a calm expression, as if the turmoil and controversy above the court did not exist.

But he can be like water, but the courtiers can't.

On the way out of the palace gate, they looked at the back, and there was a trace of awe in their eyes.

Surabaya, Yunmeng, Guangling, Longshou, plus the wolf fangs and four elephants that are loyal today, and Zhongzhou, which is already under the control of the imperial court.

Of the thirteen states in the world, the imperial court has steadily won the land of seven states, and if the Xifeng Prefecture that occupies Guanzhong and the two states of Jiuhe and Baiyang that are attacked by the wolf's tooth and the dragon's head are taken, the essence of the world will be regarded as all the imperial court, and there are only three frontiers left.

In this way, is Jianninghou's actions all planned?

Everyone was silently thinking in their hearts, could Jianning Hou's seemingly hasty and absurd proposal have such a long-term thought?

In the silence, a heart akin to a mixture of faith and fear grew.

What is a Minister?

It is through victory after victory, let people know that what you have to do is done, and let people dare to follow or dare not oppose.

When no one dares to stand in your way, and any hesitation about you will turn into a missed opportunity, you can naturally say the same, turning your hands into clouds and turning your hands into rain.

Whether Xia Jingyun thinks so, they don't know.

But their hearts are indeed growing in that direction.

——

Cheng Wang's Mansion, the long-awaited Cheng Wang Shizi finally waited for his father's car and hurriedly greeted the door.

But the first expression of his father's appearance made his heart sink.

"Father, what's wrong?"

King Cheng waved his hand silently, strode into the main hall, and after retreating left and right, he angrily smashed his fist on the case.

"That Xia Jingyun is really hateful! must have set a trap early, waiting for us to show our heads, such sinister intentions, so that this king suffered a big loss this time! ”

"Huh?" King Cheng was taken aback, "Then what should I do?" ”

King Cheng sighed, "Now that he is powerful, this rash move has no results, and he has hated the other party, I am afraid that he will have to be cautious in the future." ”

"Lord Wang! Can you still pretend to be able to do so? ”

The voice sounded slowly, Princess Cheng walked out of the back hall and looked at her husband, "Now that your will has been revealed, Your Majesty and the Marquis of Jianning are naturally on guard, no matter how you disguise it, people will not believe it." For today's plan, it is better to simply express your will directly and gather a group of clan relatives and nobles in order to protect yourself. As an imperial uncle, as long as you don't do anything out of line, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty will also care about your identity and will not do anything to you. After all, you just want to have some power in their court, not overthrow them. ”

King Cheng heard this, but hesitated, "To put it simply, the ruthless emperor's family since ancient times has aroused suspicion, and a single edict can take the lives of our mansion." Or be cautious, more prudent, be suspicious, and never do anything to me for no reason, right? ”

Princess Cheng looked at her husband, sighed, turned around and walked out.

The small profit caused him to take risks desperately, and when it was really time to take the risk and make a decision, he was frightened and dared not dare to take the fire, such a person, what a big thing, what a hero.

If it weren't for the good rebirth, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be as good as a street vendor!

"Princess, where are we going?"

Walking out of the gate of the palace, the attendant asked respectfully.

"Prepare the horse, enter the palace, I want to see the Queen Mother."

——

In the small courtyard of the central government, the important ministers of the central government gathered here after the dispersal of the dynasty to discuss various important matters.

For example, Xia Jingyun, Wei Yuanzhi and others who also have the functions of other ministries, if they are not on duty, they will go to their respective ministries in the afternoon.

And prime ministers and deputy ministers like Wan Wenbi and Yang Weiguang don't need to run around like this, they just need to sit here and reconcile the world.

Therefore, as soon as Wan Wenbi entered the house, he reorganized his workshop in the middle and turned it into what he liked.

But now, sitting at his beloved desk, his heart is not much leisurely and relaxed, but cannot be calm for a long time.

Today's events were much more than he expected.

He didn't care if his appearance would be recognized or alerted by Xia Jingyun, he had foreshadowed before starting, and he had an explanation afterwards, so it shouldn't be a problem.

What really bothered him was that he realized today that Xia Jingyun's political skills were not at all like a novice in officialdom.

Now, it has only been a few days, and he has even comprehended the division of labor and cooperation between a court faction.

The top brand is kind and wealthy, benevolent, righteous and friendly, just like a good man.

Then the second brother of the faction was like a mad dog, fearful and unscrupulous.

In this way, they can not only maintain the combat effectiveness and deterrence of their own faction, but also have the top people to turn around for them, so that the entire faction can be stable and long-lasting.

And today, Wei Yuanzhi's behavior of changing his past style also responds to this line of thinking.

All this was done in just a few days after His Majesty succeeded to the throne.

How many people have lived things that they can't understand for most of their lives, and he is not yet twenty-one years old!

Wan Wenbi sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Isn't there really someone who is born to know?" ”

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the voice of the palace attendant came, "Wan Xianggong, the Queen Mother has a call." ”

A moment later, Wan Wenbi stood in the Qianyuan Palace, and saw the Queen Mother through a bead curtain.

After giving the seat, the Queen Mother slowly spoke, "Wan Qing, what do you think of Xing Shilang's performance today?" ”

Wan Wenbi's heart turned around all kinds of thoughts, and finally sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "The minister thinks that it is feasible." ”
