Hanyuan Hall
Emperor Chongping nodded, as if he recognized Jia Heng's suggestion, and ordered: "The Ministry of War, the Military Selection and Cleaning Department will draw up the names of the general schools, and select the officers and generals from the Beijing Camp and the local capital divisions who are both loyal, courageous, resourceful and resourceful for consideration. .”
Hang Min cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."
At this time, the military aircraft driver Jin Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, and he clasped his fists and said: "I believe that the generals in the Beijing camp should be carefully screened and inspected. The Military Aircraft Department and Privy Councilor Wen will work with the Ministry of War to assess their talents and send them to the Peking Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department."
Jia Heng looked serious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think this proposal is feasible, and I am willing to personally take charge of this matter."
At this time, Jin Xiaoyu's face darkened and he felt a little unhappy.
His proposal was to prepare for his involvement in the capital camp. How could Jia Ziyu be so greedy for power?
Emperor Chongping nodded, looked at Jia Heng, his eyes were gentler, and said, "You and Shi Qing should discuss this more."
Although his previous suggestions were not adopted, the political layout of Jia Heng leading the troops in Beijing and suppressing Wu Xun remained unchanged.
But for some unknown reason, Emperor Chongping suddenly felt some faint disappointment deep in his heart.
After all, you are young. Even if you are gifted and talented, you still need more training before the war.
After all, among so many military aircraft and cabinet ministers, only one, Hang Min and Shi Ding, agreed indifferently. Most of the others responded coldly to Jia Heng's proposal, which shows that Jia Heng's inference about the situation in Henan is not very clear. recognized.
However, the discussion just now was a demonstration of the necessity of troop deployment, rather than personnel appointments and national policy direction, so there was no tense atmosphere of disputes. However, it is precisely this cold discussion atmosphere that makes it more difficult to discuss the situation than the fiercely rhetorical and shirtless discussion atmosphere. Emperor Chongping, who had ruled the world for more than ten years, was even more able to "aware" that Jia Heng's proposal was not mature enough.
Under normal circumstances, if a proposal or an inference does not gain widespread support and approval, there is only one reason - it is of low value, or even of no value, not even worth arousing controversy.
To put it bluntly, if it is not interrupted several times by long-lasting warm applause, the proposal is not wise and correct enough.
"I obey the order." Jia Heng's expression did not change, he cupped his hands and said.
He was not surprised by Emperor Chongping's performance, and his trust in him was still rock-solid. However, because of his high expectations, there might be some disappointment in his heart that he was unwilling to admit.
Then, the ministers began to discuss matters related to the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department. Jia Heng's expression was as usual. He spoke when he should speak and remained silent when he should. He seemed not to be affected at all by the rejection of his previous proposal.
This scene fell in Han Huang's eyes, but made him think highly of him. He was not happy with things or sad with himself. This is the demeanor of an important minister.
The suggestions of his ministers were rejected many times, and the emperor never had to obey his ministers.
"The ministers of the cabinet will stay, and the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department will return to Wuying Hall first." After a while, Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice, clearly preparing to discuss internal affairs.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone in the Military Aircraft Department responded in unison and left the Hanyuan Hall one after another.
Jia Heng walked to the screen, held the map on it expressionlessly, and pulled out a nail on the wooden frame of the screen.
This lonely scene fell into the eyes of Liu Fang, who had not left for a while, and she sneered in her heart.
The whimsical proposal was opposed by the cabinet and military ministers. Is this the military minister of the Han Dynasty who is responsible for the affairs of the country?
Looking at the face that was no older than Xiao Guan and almost too young, Liu Fang suddenly felt a sense of ambition that "I can do whatever I want".
Jia Heng rolled up the map, said nothing more, bowed his hands to Emperor Chongping and resigned. He left the Hanyuan Hall with an indifferent expression, stood in the square, looked up, and saw that at some time, the sun was high in the sky, and the spring light was shining. On the earth, it was suddenly noon.
Today is another sunny day.
Jia Heng thought this way and walked towards Wuying Palace. He walked through the shadow of the majestic palace and listened to the sound of the spring breeze blowing through the golden glazed tiles. Under the red beams, he wore a wingless crown with a mountain character on his head. The guard in Feiyu uniform, holding a sword, remained motionless in the spring breeze.
Jia Heng's pace was neither fast nor slow, but he was thinking about the situation in Henan.
If he was still 60% sure yesterday, he is 80% sure now, because even the central cabinet ministers did not expect the changes in Henan. If he moved to another place, he would seize the opportunity to enslave the refugees and sweep across the prefectures and counties.
While Jia Heng was thinking about it, a call suddenly came from the left side of Wuying Hall, with a hint of joking.
"Isn't this Mr. Jia? It's already noon, but you want to go home for lunch?" Jin Xiaoyu asked with a smile.
This is an irony that Jia Heng skipped work and went home at noon a few days ago.
Another joking voice came from not far away. Liu Fang came forward with a smile and said, "Master Jia must be going home. I wonder if one of the princesses has prepared lunch to entertain Master Jia in the palace. Such a beautiful blessing. I really envy others."
Jin Xiaoyu smiled and said: "There is still such a thing. I heard that Mr. Jia was lucky enough to follow the path of a certain princess, right?"
When Jia Hengyu lost his reputation, he saw Liu Fang, the commander-in-chief of the former army, Shi Guangzhu, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, Ma Shang, the third-rank Weiyuan general, Jin Xiaoyu, Mu Sheng and others.
Most of them looked at Jia Heng with a half-smile, but only Mu Sheng, the son of Prince Dongping, frowned and hesitated to speak.
Jia Heng pressed the sword on his waist tightly, glanced at Liu Fang and Jin Xiaoyu coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Fang, Jin Xiaoyu, this is an important place where the palace is forbidden. You two are military aircraft drivers, and Privy Council Wen are here." How unbecoming it is to laugh without any sign! I am on duty as a military aircraft, and I have ordered you to go home and reflect on yourself today, and make sure there are no mistakes."
Kim Hyo-wook and Liu Fang: “???”
The expressions of Mu Sheng, Ma Shang and others suddenly changed, as if they did not expect that the people opposite would suddenly attack!
Liu Fang stared angrily, and was about to open her mouth to refute, but saw the young man in the python suit with a frosty face and shouted coldly: "Where are the guards in brocade clothes?"
The seven or eight imperial guards who were originally guarding the corridors and corners of the palace hurriedly walked down the stairs. The leader was a member of the Shibaihu family. He raised his hands and said: "I have seen the governor in this humble position."
"Take these two dishonest people away from the palace!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice.
He is the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyi and has the responsibility of maintaining vigilance in the palace. He can simply give orders to the guards in Jinyi.
"No." General Jinyi did not hesitate and ordered several guards to hold Liu Fang and Jin Xiaoyu down.
"Jia Ziyu, what are you going to do?" Liu Fang's expression suddenly changed and she said, "Why do you touch me?"
Jia Heng looked at Liu Fang coldly and said: "The regulations of the Military Aircraft Department give the Minister of Military Aircraft the power to depose and punish military aircraft drivers. Liu Fang and Jin Xiaoyu went back to their homes to reflect for five days and wrote a letter of apology and submitted it to the officer. Come and walk to the military aircraft again. As for the guards in brocade robes who captured you two, I am the governor in brocade robes. I have the responsibility of guarding the palace and maintaining the ceremonial guard. You are here in small groups, blocking the military ministers, laughing and scolding, how can you? What an act!”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fang felt her eyebrows beating wildly, and anger was simmering in her chest, burning ragingly.
You are the Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi and the Minister of Military and Aircraft. The Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi blocked the Minister of Military and Aircraft because of us, and then captured us?
By the way, the regulations of the Military Aircraft Department were originally formulated by someone like you, Jia!
Jia Heng said: "Fork these two beasts out!"
He waved his hand and signaled Captain Jinyi to take the two of them away.
Liu Fang's face was filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Jia Heng, my son, you wait for me!"
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said: "Swearing, threatening military officials, the crime will be increased to one level, gag the mouth, fork out, twenty sticks!"
The faces of third-rank Weiyuan generals Ma Shang, Shi Guangzhu and others changed slightly, and their eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Jin Xiaoyu looked furious and scolded: "Jia, who are you? You are just a member of the Ningguo family. You are lucky to get into the country because of women's nepotism. How dare you be rude to us?"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Sheng, the son of the Prince of Dongping County, felt a thump in his heart, secretly thinking that something was not good, he was afraid that something big was going to happen!
Jia Heng's face was as cold as ice. He pressed the hilt of the sword tightly. He suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Stop his mouth! In the forbidden area of the palace, he yelled and cursed the important military officials. He was immediately dragged to The palace gate rod punishes forty."
"No." Jinyi tried Baihu to accept, holding a ball of rags and stuffing it into the mouths of Jin Xiaoyu and Liu Fang, and then ordered several Jinyi captains to hold Jin Xiaoyu, who was being stabbed violently with needles, and Liu, who was angry. Fang, headed towards the palace gate.
Mu Sheng, the son of Prince Dongping, cupped his hands and said, "Master Jia, Jin and Liu are reckless and ignorant. Can they be punished lightly?"
At this moment, people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. They can only help and beg for mercy.
Jia Heng said: "These two people regard the important palace as nothing, roaring and cursing, without any decency. I have not punished them for the crime of disrespect, so I have opened the door. Otherwise, they dare to insult the Minister of Military and Aircraft like this. I am Jin Yi." The Governor, wielding the Emperor's Sword, how can he allow these two dogs to run wild and wantonly!"
Precisely because it was him who was scolding him, he used the authority of the Commander in Chief to reprimand him, but he also had to worry about some of the influence.
After all, he was not the one who could draw his sword and angrily kill the servants of King Qi when he faced King Qi. He had to be strategic in the fight.
Jin and Liu are just rats!
At this moment, Shi Ding came over from not far away, smiled and said to smooth things over: "Ziyu, what's the matter? It's so lively?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Xiaoyu and Liu Fang, who were being dragged towards the palace gate by Captain Jinyi. His mind was spinning, and he guessed what happened, saying: "Ziyu, Liu Fang has always been vulgar, reckless and rude. Jin Xiaoyu relied on his father to As the king of Xining County and himself as the heir apparent, he has always been arrogant, domineering, and arrogant. I knew this kid's temperament when I was fighting with the king of Xining County in the northwest."
This statement certainly helps Jia Heng. The four major families of Jia Shi, Wang Xue and Xue are in the same spirit. Anyone who can afford it knows who to stand with, not to mention the reason for the previous recommendation.
Jia Heng took a deep look at Shi Ding and said: "The Military Aircraft Department is an important place for the Privy Council. These two people are trying to fill up the secretariat, which is a disaster rather than a blessing for the country's major affairs!"
At the same time, Emperor Chongping was discussing matters with three important cabinet ministers in the Hanyuan Hall. At this time, he suddenly saw an eunuch winking at Dai Quan at the palace gate.
"Dai Quan, what are you asking him about?" Emperor Chongping glanced at the prisoner and frowned.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Dai Quan secretly scolded the eunuch for being ignorant and responded loudly. He quickly came to the entrance of the palace, his face was gloomy, his eyes were murderous, and he said sinisterly: "I'm tired of living."
"Eunuch Dai, something happened." The eunuch suppressed the fear in his heart and whispered in Dai Quan's ear.
Dai Quan's originally pale face turned pale, and he subconsciously wanted to suppress the matter.
There was a dispute among the people at the Military Aircraft Department, and it was Jia Ziyu, seeing how generous he had been in the past...
But such a big thing is not easy to deal with.
At this time, Emperor Chongping just finished a discussion with his cabinet ministers and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
Dai Quan had no choice but to turn around and said, "Your Majesty, the military pilots Liu Fang, Jin Xiaoyu, Shi Guangzhu and others blocked Jia Ziyu's path and had a quarrel with him. Jia Ziyu used the authority of Jinyi Commander-in-Chief to order the two Jinyi captains to leave the palace. Yuan, punish him with a stick."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Guochang's face changed drastically, and he said in a clear voice: "The Military Aircraft Department is in charge of the Privy Secretaries, and they are all important ministers of the country. There was a quarrel. It is simply unbelievable. Is there anyone related to the Ministry of War?"
He secretly cursed Wu Xun for being vulgar.
In fact, from the beginning, he did not agree with the establishment of any military aircraft department to absorb some martial arts. Now, the power is regarded as the Holy Emperor's method to appease and win over the martial arts.
Dai Quan hesitated and said, "I haven't seen it yet."
Yang Guochang said coldly: "As expected, those martial artists, ignorant of etiquette, actually argued in the palace confinement, which is embarrassing!"
There was a trace of thought on the fair and elegant face of Han Huang, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, his eyes flickered, and there was something strange in his heart.
Emperor Chongping's face remained as cold as ever, and there was some vague speculation in his mind. It was probably Liu Fang who was ridiculing him for what he had just done, and Liu Fang and Wu Xun had never dealt with Zi Yu.
But, how did a dispute arise in the palace?
Dai Quan glanced at Emperor Chongping's gloomy face and whispered: "Your Majesty, it seems that Han and Jin were the first to provoke and scold Jia Heng, so Jia Heng ordered them to go back to the house to reflect on themselves with the authority of the Minister of Military and Aircraft. The people were yelling and cursing, so Jia Heng took the two of them down and took them to the palace gate to beat them with sticks."
Zhao Mo, the Minister of Punishment, frowned and shouted: "Your Majesty, how dignified is the palace in this important place!"
These military honors do not have the dignity of a court minister. It is simply unreasonable to argue with each other and then order them to be beaten with brocade clothes and sticks.
At this moment, as a civil servant, Zhao Mo instinctively felt disgusted, and he did not even judge the merits of it, because they were all martial arts, and each one of them was a rude martial artist.
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and his voice, as pure as gold and stone, had some inexplicable meaning, and he said: "Young people are young and busy, and they are very energetic."
Some trivial thoughts inevitably arise in my mind. Young people are always busy. As for who this young man is, it may be Jin Xiaoyu, or both.
This was actually a continuation of some slight disappointment in Emperor Chongping's heart.
To put it bluntly, Jia Heng had high expectations for the emperor a long time ago. He planned everything with great foresight and left no stone unturned. However, when he reported a major event late at night, the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss it and found that Jia Heng's inference was not entirely true. It's like a tiny crack in perfectly flawless porcelain.
It's hard for a perfectionist to pretend that this rift doesn't exist.
This is a subtle psychology, just like the peak of the wave has fallen back a little. Jia Heng was keenly aware of this before, so he did not show any depression because his suggestions were not accepted. Otherwise, it would be a sign of political immaturity.
When Yang Guochang saw this, a bright light suddenly flashed in his heart, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Jia Heng is an honorable minister in charge of the army, but he arbitrarily instructs Jin Yi to act in the palace, and Jin Yi only obeys orders. I think it is really inappropriate."
When Han Huang heard this, his heart beat sharply and he felt a chill on his back.
He secretly thought that these words were really sinister. He was instructing Jin Yi, and Jin Yi only obeyed his orders. This was a direct reference to Jia Ziyu's transgression as a minister.
To maintain the dignity of the minister, even as a cabinet minister, he could order Jinyi to drag two young clerks out of the palace. Even if there was impeachment, he would treat it like a breeze blowing on his face. This is the demeanor of an important minister.
However, Jia Heng was in charge of the royal robes internally and the capital camp externally. He was also the Minister of Military and Aircraft. His authority was indeed excessive, especially since the great prison had been established earlier and his power was for his own use. It was appropriate to reduce it.
It's a pity that it was Mr. Yang Ge who said the words, and his words were weakened by three points as soon as they were spoken.
Emperor Chongping paused for a moment and said, "The minister of military aircraft has his own majesty, so why should a junior minister shout down and stop scolding him? Besides, Jiaheng is the governor of Jinyi and instructs Jinyi to maintain peace in the palace. It is within the scope of his duties. There is nothing wrong with it."
Because Yang and Jia had a long-standing feud, Emperor Chongping first put a filter on this slander, subconsciously feeling that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
When Yang Guochang heard this, he was not discouraged.
Jia Heng's son is getting favored by the Holy One and cannot be shaken in a short time. Now he just wants to leave a shadow in front of the Holy One.
Not to mention anything else, as long as good news comes from Henan, Jia Heng's son will become a complete joke in the heart of the Lord.
Han Huang frowned, glanced at Emperor Chongping, and thought to himself, even after the previous incident, as long as he had not made a big mistake, Jia Ziyu would not be shaken.
But on the other side, Jia Heng dragged Jin Xiaoyu and Liu Fang out of the palace. Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding also persuaded them for a while, and then Mu Sheng, Shi Guangzhu and others left one after another.
Jia Heng nodded. After doing this, he looked back in the direction of Hanyuan Hall.
He risked the decline of his holy family and punished the two of Jin and Liu. It was nothing more than that once the two of Jin and Liu were allowed to show off their power in front of him, the dignity of his military minister would be gone. Then he would wait to verify what he said later and take revenge on the two of Jin and Liu. ?
Firstly, the counterattack is not strong enough, and secondly, there is a suspicion that the villain is getting his way.
It is to fight back in the face of adversity when the proposal was opposed by the ministers just now, which shows the strong character. Afterwards, it is known that the wise man in charge of military and political affairs can be humiliated by fools and fools!
As for the holy family members who have weakened their fluctuations, when there is urgent military information from Henan, they will rebound in a "blowout" style and reach a new level of trust.
Most of Jin, Liu and others were directly expelled from the Military Aircraft Department by the emperor to "vent his anger".
Jia Heng's expression paused and he looked away.
He put an end to the dangerous idea of going to face the emperor, resigning as minister of military aircraft, and waiting for Emperor Chongping to ask him to come out to quell the rebellion in the future.
For this matter, or in other words, the current relationship between monarch and minister, it is not worthy of such a big pull. It feels good to control the monarch for a while, but in fact, it has already laid the foundation for the death of the whole family.
In other words, never let the emperor have the idea that he had begged his ministers in a low voice.
Regret and guilt are still in the normal range, but if the emperor begs his ministers, then the ministers will be fine when they have to use them, but when they don't, it will be a thorn in the heart. The final outcome of the ministers must be death without a burial place!
The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is generally like the relationship between lovers. They always get along with each other like a fish in water. There is no tension at all. No matter how good the relationship grows, there is a limit.
