Chapter Seventy-Five: The Theory of Cao Du (2)
King Zheng Yang looked at Duan Qianqiu appreciatively and said, "Exactly, he has his own way and his own ideals, not fame or profit." So Cai Xun can't control him. ”
Zheng Bingrong couldn't help asking, "What is his Tao?"
"Qianqiu seems to know Wei Wenting quite well, so let's let Qianqiu talk about it. King Zheng Yang stroked his beard and said.
Duan Qianqiu knew that King Zheng Yang was examining his ability to observe people, and he was not humble: "Wei Wenting is a pure Confucian who has the feelings of the family and the country in his chest, and the ambition of the world, he also wants to be the inner and outer king, but the reality does not allow him to do so at all, especially in the position of Cao Du, every thing he does must involve the vital interests of one party's forces." Before the great profit, what king, what saint, is all empty. Only silver and power are the most real. ”
King Zheng Yang said thoughtfully: "The world is like this, what can I do in vain!"
"Wei Wenting seems to be attached to Cai Xun, but everything he does is to put his family and country first, he acts ruthlessly and resolutely, hates the bad habits of officialdom, and kills all the offending officials, this "three uniques" makes him lose his officialdom popularity, fortunately, the emperor has a unique vision and full support behind it, otherwise only Wei Wenting is a weak scholar, how can he make Caoyun officialdom have a new atmosphere!"
"It's the way of Wei Wenting, in fact, it's the way of the Holy Lord today!" Duan Qianqiu's tone was slow but powerful when he said this.
"Okay!" King Zheng Yang cheered: "Qianqiu Xian nephew, you have analyzed the situation very accurately, Wei Wenting's style of acting is mixed with kings and tyrants, and he is indeed quite the demeanor of today's saints. ”
Zheng Bingrong suddenly realized: "No wonder Wei Wenting has been in the court in the past few years, and the rectification of Jianghuai officialdom is also vigorous and resolute, it turns out that the emperor is behind his back, I thought it was Cai Xun at first!"
"Wei Wenting was picked up by Cai Xun, and when he served in the Hanlin Academy, he was not very treated by his colleagues and superiors, just because he had a high scholarly spirit. On the contrary, Cai Xun fell in love with the qi in him, and in a short period of time, he was promoted to five levels in a row, until he was the official to worship the governor of Caoyun. As a result, there is one less down-and-out scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and there is one more ruthless Qingtian in the Jianghuai officialdom. ”
"In this way, Wei Wenting is the one who was favored by the Holy Lord and Cai Xun, so will he continue to stay in the position of the Governor of Caoyun because of this?" Zheng Bingrong said.
King Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, at least not at present. Jianghuai Cao has transported so many major events, the officials are collectively greedy for ink, you and Princess Gaoyang were assassinated in their jurisdiction, he is responsible for the failure to rescue, not to mention that Shen Weijing's death has something to do with him, the saint does not kill him now, it is already an extrajudicial grace, and he has offended so many people in the officialdom, if he does not dethrone, it is not enough to convince the public. Although the emperor is arbitrary, he must also take into account the emotions of the courtiers, otherwise everyone will be dissatisfied, and who else will be willing to do his best. ”
Duan Qianqiu said: "Wei Wenting's deposition has become a fact, and Zheng Shibo, regardless of your resume, ability and reputation, what else can Cai Xun use to attack you?"
"Yes! As the governor of Cao, his greatest responsibility is to ensure that the grain and socks from the south can be transported smoothly to the northern Xinjiang. And now the canal channel is exhausted, and the grain ships cannot go up to the Youzhou Mansion Okura. This is the first problem that the governor will solve first. ”
Zheng Bingrong said indignantly: "The waterway is depleted, this is a natural disaster, how can you be a person? Daddy, you are not an immortal, why did Cai Xun attack you for this reason!"
"He can! Because he said that if it was handled by Wei Wenting, he would definitely be able to find a solution. ”
"The emperor also agrees?!" Zheng Bingrong asked worriedly.
"The emperor is noncommittal, on the one hand, Wei Wenting is now a guilty person, if he uses it again, won't the court change the order of the court? On the other hand, the emperor also wants to see how his father copes. ”
"The large granary on the canal wharf of Youzhou Mansion is the most important grain and grass transshipment base connecting the three war zones of Guannei Road, Hedong Road and Hebei Province in Northern Xinjiang. Now there are only three months of grain and grass left in the warehouse, but it has to help hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the northern Xinjiang Pass, if the grain ship cannot be sailed to Youzhou Mansion before the arrival of early summer, the Turks and Gaochang will definitely take advantage of our food exhaustion, launch an offensive. At that time, Dajing is in danger. King Zheng Yang's face was solemn and authentic.
"Isn't it possible to supply by land?" Duan Qianqiu suddenly asked.
"Alas, the cost of transporting grain and socks by land is too great, and only two buckets of grain are transported to the front line, which has always been only used as a supplement to water transportation. Now it's suddenly going to be the main force of transportation, and it's hard to organize it in a short time. ”
Duan Qianqiu pondered for a while and said: "Zheng Shibo, in fact, our dynasty has banned shipping for decades, at this time of crisis, why not reopen shipping, from the sea to send grain ships over, although the risk is greater than that of inland rivers, but the loading capacity of sea ships is huge, one ship can reach the river to transport as many as three or four ships, the pros and cons are offset, and shipping is still worth considering." ”
King Zheng Yang said: "The matter of reopening the sea transport, I have already played it to the emperor, but the emperor is still hesitating, mainly worried that after the lifting of the sea ban, it will cause foreign barbarian forces to invade our sea frontier in the name of merchants. ”
Duan Qianqiu smiled and said: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on which is more important, my Dajing Sailor looks at the world, and the attacks of the invading forces at sea are just like grasshoppers shaking trees, so what is there to fear." The abolition of the ban on the sea is not only conducive to trade, but also provides another waterway guarantee for water transportation, killing two birds with one stone. ”
King Zheng Yang said: "The sea ban of the Dajing Dynasty has been more than forty-two years since the beginning of the first emperor, and now it is to be opened suddenly, among which it takes time to prepare for the formulation and issuance of various laws and regulations, the establishment of the management yamen and the deployment of manpower, not to mention the construction of super ships that can carry goods, these are not overnight things, but whether the military rations in the north can be delivered on time is the top priority now, otherwise the situation in the north will be chaotic and the situation in the north will be in danger." ”
King Zheng Yang's tone revealed deep concern about the situation of the country, and it was the first time for Zheng Bingrong to see his father's solemn and sad expression, and he knew that the situation had become a fire and water.
Duan Qianqiu glanced at King Zheng Yang and said tentatively: "Actually, it's not impossible to solve this dilemma, it's just ......"
As soon as these words came out, King Zheng Yang's eyes widened.
He had heard from Zheng Bingrong many times that Duan Qianqiu had turned decay into miraculous deeds, and he knew Duan Qianqiu's ability, and now that he heard Duan Qianqiu say that there was a solution to this matter, he suddenly seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dark night.
He urged Duan Qianqiu one after another: "Qianqiu, what is your good plan? Say it quickly!"
