Chapter 19: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
"In the past three years, this is the most proud day I have waited!"
"Yes, don't look at Yan Xu's old thief's usual appearance as before, I'm afraid that when I return to the house, I will already be angry and want to smash things!"
……
As soon as the court meeting ended, Nangong Ce and Qin Yi, the secretary of the military department, Qi Jin, the newly promoted imperial historian, and Qin Yu, the servant of the military department, arrived in front of the imperial study.
After learning that the four of them had quit the court, they hurried here, and Chu Heng could only put down the music in his hand and motioned to the little eunuch who came to inquire to let a few of them in.
After a while, Nangong Ce and the three people from him entered the door and bowed to Chu Heng in unison.
"I'll wait to see Your Majesty!"
"You are all your own people, so you don't need to be polite."
Chu Heng slowly closed the music in his hand, looked at the four of them and smiled: "A few people came here after the resignation, presumably not just to vent the unhappiness in their chests in the past, right?" ”
With a smile in his eyes, Nangong Ce hurriedly congratulated him and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers came here today to congratulate Your Majesty!" ”
"It only took two days to return to the dynasty and let Yan Xu hand over the military power in Kyoto, not to mention, and then he returned to the imperial historical platform, His Majesty's powerful means made the old ministers not only amazed!"
Qi Jin smiled when he heard this, and his tone was full of mockery: "Yan Xu has controlled the court for several years, and I don't know how many secret chess tricks he has played, but in the end, he can't compete with His Majesty's subtleties......"
"Today, the court can see Yan Xu defeat so miserably, and it is not in vain that the ministers have been humiliated in the Yushitai for many years!"
Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, and thousands of words finally turned into a sneer: "Compared with Your Majesty's youthful heroism, even if the minister is not convinced of the old. ”
"I heard the old man of Nangong say that His Majesty intends to seize power from Yan Xu as soon as possible, and the old minister still doesn't believe it, but now it seems that as long as His Majesty is given enough time, it is easy to regain the power of the court!"
The two old and the young were so excited, and Chu Heng was also full of joy.
However, when he set his eyes on Qin Hui, who was embarrassed, Qin Wei suddenly knelt down heavily at Chu Heng, which startled him.
"Why is Qin Qing here?"
"The last general...... At the end of the year, he was going to ask His Majesty for his guilt, and the ministers had many doubts about His Majesty's strategy, and thought that the reputation he had gained in exchange for half his life would be ruined in the hands of His Majesty, and he really deserved death! ”
Although Qin Xuan's head was stuck to the ground, his voice was full of excitement:
"And Your Majesty's sixteen-character strategy not only won Tian Zhan, but also allowed the last general to gain some fame from it, such a great favor The last general really doesn't know how to repay Your Majesty!"
has been able to mingle in the court for so many years, and the four people present are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and Chu Heng suddenly felt a lot of color on his face when he could get such praise from them.
But even so, Chu Heng still shook his head slightly with a smile, and said quite indifferently: "The results are gratifying, although it is exciting, but if there are not a few humerus loyalty, even I may not be able to do this!" ”
"Speaking of which, it's not that you should thank me today, but that I should thank you!"
Chu Heng could see that the four people in front of him were all loyal and grateful, although they were suspected of patting on the back, but this sycophant was also said from the bottom of his heart.
As an emperor, he can certainly accept that courtiers have their own selfishness, after all, everyone has a family, and becoming an official is nothing more than being rich in front of him and famous in his back.
But even so, it must be based on loyalty!
The congratulations were over, and Nangong Ce immediately brought the topic back to business:
"Your Majesty, now that Yan Xu's military power has been relieved, will His Majesty personally send someone to replace the lieutenant general?"
"And the effect of rushing to Yingzhou to the current situation in the court is not obvious, and the minister thinks that it is the best policy to take charge of the military first!"
Although Yingzhou was invaded by foreign invasion urgently, even Chu Heng, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, knew that it didn't matter, how could Nangong Ce not see it.
At this moment, the goal of taking back the military power by taking advantage of the tight strength of Yingzhou has been achieved, Nangong Ce feels that it is inevitable that the redeployment of troops and horses will be a bit laborious and costly, so it is better to get by.
However, after Chu Heng heard this, he shook his head directly.
"If you decide to do a play, you naturally have to do it all, otherwise according to Yan Xu's character of revenge, it will definitely cause trouble, so it is better to take the opportunity to block his mouth."
"Now that the replacement of the remaining four battalions in Kyoto is in a hurry to put it on the agenda, then it is better to transfer most of the troops to the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River to completely cut off the financial route of the Yan Party!"
It is hateful to be barbarian on the border, but compared with the Yan Party who confuses the court, Chu Heng is really unsightly of this kind of external trouble.
The income of the six counties in the south of the Yangtze River accounts for more than seventy percent of Dayan's annual tax revenue, and now that he has military power in his hands, the next thing to take is naturally financial power!
Only by completely pinching the six counties in his own hands with soldiers and horses can Dayan's annual income be truly used by him Chu Heng.
"It is a good thing that Your Majesty has arrangements for soldiers and horses, but the Qiang Yong in Yingzhou is in chaos......"
Qin Wei was silent for a long time, and finally had to say something to remind him.
He was originally from Yingzhou, and over the years, Qiang Yong and South Vietnam had repeatedly violated the border, and his hometown had been harassed several times, how could he sit idly by.
Although Qin Wei is willing to dedicate his body to the Great Yan True Dragon Heavenly Son, he is not good at the facts of a place's finance and taxation, so he can only use what he is good at to start with the sense of existence.
"The border is barbaric, but it can't be blocked!"
Chu Heng thought for a moment, then continued with a smile: "Every time they make trouble, they have no food for the winter, and they are forced to have no choice but to enter the customs and plunder, so we will do a good exchange with these barbarians every year, so that they have no money to invade the border!" ”
"At that time, Qin Shizhong only needs to lead troops to guard the key passes in the southern border, forcing them to enter the country hopelessly!"
Chu Heng's novel attitude towards the border pass made the faces of the four of them instantly full of astonishment.
Since the founding of the country, Dayan has always been known for being strict with foreign people, and the unwarranted slowdown attitude is tantamount to going against the country's roots!
Your Majesty may be able to see it when he is young, but the two of them are really afraid that the whole world will poke their backbones afterwards!
"I'm just an idea, you don't need to take it too seriously, even if you settle the mutual market, you have to subdue Qiang Yong first."
"Qin Shizhong, the power of the army has been handed over to you without discount, as for the victory of the enemy......
"Your Majesty, don't worry, if you can't beat Qiang Yong this time, Your Majesty will just take this head away!"
After Qin Wei finished speaking, he took the initiative to leave the imperial study to prepare, and the three of them stayed for a while and left one after another.
Chu Heng could also see the worry in the eyes of the four of them, and he could only relax and stop demanding.
Nangong Ce and Qin Yi are old and have no momentum, Chu Heng can understand it, but Qin Yu and Qi Jin are in the prime of life, and the decree is so secure, which really makes Chu Heng a little helpless.
"I won't say much about the older ones seeking stability like this, how can the two juniors also have this virtue!"
Liu An bowed slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "For officials, it is a rule not to seek merit but to seek no fault, Your Majesty's Holy Body Jin An naturally does not understand." ”
"The old slave also has good news to inform Your Majesty, Yu Chengbi sent someone to spread the word that the location of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion has been determined, and he will be able to move in the palace in a few days!"
