Ying Yuqian smiled slightly, with expectant eyes, and asked: "Who does Wang Shangshu think is suitable?"
Between Zhang Yi and Wang Tang, Ying Yuqian is more inclined to Wang Tang.
When his father was still alive, he told him that Zhang Yi was an old fox who would become weak when he was strong and strong when he was weak. Now Zhang Yi is becoming more active because he wants more rights.
Ying Yuqian was restrained from this.
Following Ying Yuqian's words, everyone stared at Wang Tang.
The ministers of the other ministries rarely expressed their opinions, because among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry were the strongest, and they had the greatest say. As for the Ministry of War, it was Lin Feng's territory. Now that Lin Feng had left the court and went to the front line, the Minister of War was mainly in charge.
The other departments such as the Imperial College and Yushitai have even less influence and are even less likely to interfere with the overall political situation.
Wang Tang looked serious and said: "The veteran believes that the stability of the Jin State is different from that of the Xia State. The environment of the Jin State is more complex and there are more big families, so it is not easy to deal with. If you are not careful, big troubles may occur. "
"Furthermore, in the Xia Kingdom in the past, the local people were in dire straits, and they had long been harassed by Emperor Li Chong's mansion."
"Countless people are seeking stability."
"So after our Qin State overthrew Xia State, everything went smoothly and there were no obstacles."
"But in today's Jin State, although it is not easy for the people, at least it is not as problematic as in the Xia State."
"The governance of Jin is even more difficult."
Wang Tang talked eloquently and continued: "So for the arrangements of the Jin State, it is not appropriate to only have one censor to take charge of the overall situation. And the person who governs the Jin area must be someone who understands this aspect. I have two opinions. There are two requirements: first, officials must have high grades and standards, and second, they must know how to govern.”
Zhang Yi sneered and said: "Wang Shangshu, your suggestion is not easy to achieve. In my opinion, the best candidate is Zhen Guo Gong. Let Zhen Guo Gong go to Jin State. He has high standards and knows how to Governance. When it comes to ability, who can compare to Lin Feng?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
It was aimed at Wang Tang.
Wang Tang looked as usual, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Zhang Shangshu, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Yi said: "Who do you recommend?"
Wang Tang bowed his hands and saluted Ying Yuqian, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I recommend the prince to go to Jinling City to take charge of the overall situation. At the same time, Huan Suzhi, the governor of Yanzhou, is sent to the Jin Kingdom to serve as the chief historian of the East Palace to assist the prince in handling matters."
Wow! !
There was an uproar among the discussions.
Everyone was extremely shocked and surprised. They had not expected that Wang Tang would make such a suggestion.
So unexpected.
Zhang Yi was shocked for a moment before he recovered. He said, "The prince is the crown prince of a country. How can he leave Xianyang so easily? Once the prince is on the front line and something goes wrong, can you, Wang Tang, bear the responsibility?"
Wang Tang ignored Zhang Yi and said, "Your Majesty, please make your decision."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
Zhang Yi spoke immediately.
There was a glint in his eyes and a cold look on his face.
Does he care about the prince's safety?
not give a damn about.
What Zhang Yi cares about is that the prince went to Jin, and with him was Huan Suzhi, Lin Feng's sworn brother.
Huan Suzhi was handling the situation in various places in Jin State, and the people he promoted were all from Lin Feng's line.
This is what Zhang Yi doesn't want.
Ying Yuqian suddenly laughed, and he said slowly: "The prince is not young anymore. A person who is almost twenty years old should go to the local area to practice and hone his skills. I agree with Wang Qing's suggestion. The prince is also Yangzhou The position of governor. Huan Suzhi, the governor of Yanzhou, was transferred to Yangzhou and served as the general manager of Yangzhou and the chief historian of the East Palace. The candidate for the governor of Yanzhou was Cui Yuantu."
Zhang Yi's cheeks twitched.
He was numb with shock inside.
Cui Yuantu was also a member of Lin Feng.
However, Emperor Qiangang was arbitrary and directly ordered the arrangements, and Zhang Yi could not refuse for a while.
Cui Yuantu was also capable in governing the place.
His political achievements are also remarkable.
If Zhang Yi wants to refute Ying Yuqian's appointment, he must first prove that Cui Yuantu is incompetent, but Cui Yuantu is very capable, so Zhang Yi can only bow and say: "I obey the order!"
Ying Yuqian waved his hand and ordered: "Go down."
All the officials retreated, and Ying Yuqian suddenly smiled. Now that the Jin Kingdom has fallen, the structure of the imperial court has gradually changed.
As an emperor and a courtier, what should go down will naturally go down.
The imperial court sent a decree, and Lin Feng's appointment was delivered to Lin Feng in Jinling City in a short period of time.
Lin Feng accepted the order and received a separate letter from Ying Yuqian, which explained the court's transfer and let Lin Feng know the situation. After Lin Feng read it, he learned that Prince Yingxi was in charge of the overall situation as the governor of Yangzhou, and Huan Suzhi was in charge of the specific duties as the general manager of Yangzhou. A smile bloomed on his face.
The emperor's arrangement is excellent.
Yingxi is the prince of Qin and needs experience.
The situation here in Yangzhou of Jin State is quite complicated, and the various places in the south of Jin State are perfect places for Ying Xi to gain experience.
Otherwise, a prince who is raised in a deep palace without the ability to govern the place and understand the operation of power will definitely not work.
Lin Feng found out that Cui Yuantu took over as the governor of Yanzhou, and he thought about it.
The people being promoted now are all people from his department. The emperor's arrangement is to slowly vacate the cage and change the bird, so that Zhang Yi and other old ministers can retire and be replaced by people of the younger generation.
This is normal.
After Lin Feng read the letter, not long after, he received another letter from Wang Tang alone, saying that he would be responsible for the annihilation of Qi this time. Zhang Yi suggested that another person should take charge, hoping that Lin Feng would stay.
Wang Tang gave an explanation of the specific process.
After seeing this, Lin Feng didn't take it to heart. An old minister like Zhang Yi couldn't last long. It wasn't that Zhang Yi lacked ability, nor did Zhang Yi lack prestige. He was just an emperor and a courtier.
Ying Yuqian has taken power, and slowly, it is natural to be replaced by Ying Yuqian.
This is normal.
Lin Feng didn't care much about this. He thought about it and said, "Come here, please invite Xie Chong and Xie Xuan to discuss the matter."
The soldiers went to make arrangements. Not long after, Xie Chong and his son entered the tent and bowed.
Lin Feng asked the two of them to sit down and said directly: "Xie Gong, the Jin Kingdom has been captured this time, and the imperial court has made arrangements. The local chaos in the Jin Kingdom, and the army led by Meng Chong, will further sweep through the south. "
"As for me, I will lead the army north and be responsible for the final battle to destroy Qi."
"Here in the Jin Kingdom, the imperial court made arrangements for the prince to be the governor of Yangzhou and take charge of the overall situation. At the same time, it arranged for Huan Su, the governor of Yanzhou, to come to Yangzhou and serve as the general manager of Yangzhou to adjust and govern Yangzhou and other parts of the Jin Kingdom."
"My army goes north and will take away Sima Chong and other members of the Jin clan."
"You and Xie Xuan, you will stay in Jinling City for the time being. I will leave 10,000 people to assist you in the defense. When the Crown Prince and Huan Suzhi arrive, you can go to your respective posts according to the previous agreement."
"What do you think?"
Lin Feng made arrangements directly.
"I have no objection."
Xie Chong immediately expressed his position and took the initiative: "While Duke Zhen is leaving Jinling City, I will definitely handle the matter and stabilize Jinling City."
Today, the Xie family has submitted to Qin.
Moreover, many people knew about the Xie family's betrayal of the Jin State early on, so those who were truly loyal to the Jin State were hostile to the Xie family.
The Xie family had no way out and could only follow Qin's path into darkness.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng left Xie Chong to guard him.
Xie Chong knew this very well.
After Xie Xuan thought about it, he said respectfully: "I have no objection to my humble position. I will go all out to stabilize Jinling City."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "That's good. With the two of you, I won't worry about the situation in Jinling City. If you have anything to do, tell me now. I will make the decision for you in Jinling City. If I leave, It’s not that easy to handle.”
Xie Chong suddenly said: "Mr. Zhenguo, I have something to ask. While you are away, if someone wants to cause trouble, can I have full authority to deal with it?"
Lin Feng said: "You have full authority to deal with it, but there is one thing. If the situation is unstable and the city of Jinling is lost, you will be affected. In short, before the prince arrives, this is a test for you."
"I know."
Xie Chong said: "No matter how we do it, no matter what we do, in short, we must ensure the stability of Jinling City."
"That's what it means."
Lin Feng nodded and answered.
Xie Chong held his head high and said firmly: "Please rest assured, Duke, the Xie family is determined to defend Jinling City to the death and will never let any villain succeed."
Lin Feng nodded, said no more, and asked Xie Chong and Xie Xuan to retreat. He called Xun Peng and ordered Xun Peng to leave 10,000 soldiers to guard Jinling City and be responsible for the security of Jinling City. Immediately afterwards, he led Xun Peng's army to leave Jinling City and go north.
The army headed north, this time by water, so it went north quickly.
Just after May, the army led by Lin Feng entered Langya County and reached the border camp where the Qin army was stationed.
Lin Feng led the army to arrive, and Wang Lie came out to greet him personally. He cupped his fists and said, "General Wang Lie, please pay homage to the Duke."
Wang Lie had received news of Lin Feng's arrival before.
He was very convinced.
Only by Lin Feng personally taking charge can he overwhelm the generals and make Qi fearful.
Lin Feng said: "General King Hard."
"The end will not be hard."
Wang Lie shook his head, looking humble.
Lin Feng led the people into the military camp. After the troops were stationed, everyone sat down in the Chinese military tent.
Lin Feng looked at Wang Lie and said, "Wang Lie, what is the situation on the front line? How did you arrange it during this time?"
Wang Lie held his head high and said confidently: "Reporting to the Duke, during this period of time, the general will mainly let people publicize the fall of Jin State, and then publicize that the Emperor of Qi State is a puppet and that Yan Zichu and Tian Yu have the exclusive power, in order to disrupt Qi State. The hearts and minds of the Chinese military.”
"Now that things have happened, although Qi's army is still defending, it has actually lost its previous fighting spirit."
"The Duke is here. Relying on the Duke's reputation, we can directly destroy the Qi army in one battle."
"The chief general of Qi State is named Guan Sheng. He is also a famous general in Qi State. He is very strict in running the army, and he is very good at defense."
"Guan Sheng and Mo Jiang were in confrontation. They were always on the defensive and never offensive."
Wang Lie said: "The troops under Guan Sheng's command have been continuously increasing before. Now, there are almost 100,000 troops. Almost the entire army of Qi has gathered at the border to resist our attack."
After hearing this, Lin Feng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "So, as long as we defeat Guan Sheng in this battle, we can win in one battle and march straight into Linzi, the imperial capital of Qi."
"right!"
Wang Lie nodded and answered.
He said directly: "The current situation in Qi is very special. Although it has maintained stability, in fact, there is no emperor in charge, only Yan Zichu and Tian Yu, and there are too many problems."
"When the state of Qi was locally stable, even if the emperor was only two or three years old, it would be nothing."
"But after being attacked, the local people were panicked and the court was in turmoil, which exposed the fatal problem of Qi State. Take this time we attacked Qi State as an example. In order to stabilize the situation in Linzi, Yan Zichu and Tian Yu killed many people. A large number of of killing.”
Wang Lie said: "Linzi seems to be stable, but it is actually very depressed."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "In that case, we will attack directly and break Qi's defense line in one battle. Wang Lie, how many troops do you have under your command?"
Wang Lie said: "Currently there are fifty thousand people."
Lin Feng nodded and replied: "The troops under Xun Peng's command, after reorganization, are 100,000. We have a total of 150,000 troops, which is enough to win a battle with Qi. There is nothing good about this battle. If you are worried, rest for a day and attack Qi’s camp tomorrow morning. In addition, you arrange people today to tell Qi’s army that we will attack Qi’s camp tomorrow morning.”
"Wonderful!"
Wang Lie grinned.
He nodded hurriedly and said: "The Duke's arrangement is to attack the heart first. Once the news of the Duke's arrival spreads and the people of Qi are panicked, maybe countless people will escape tonight. The army of Qi has lost its fighting spirit. , has lost its combat effectiveness, it will be easy to break Qi’s camp.”
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Let's make arrangements."
"Here!"
Wang Lie answered immediately.
Lin Feng made detailed arrangements and finalized the general situation of tomorrow's attack.
Eventually, they dispersed.
