Zhenyuan Palace, Imperial Study Room. Xin Yanque listened carefully to Ning Weimo's reasoning about the incident in southern Xinjiang. He had to say that in terms of the overall situation, Ning Weimo was still ahead of Xin Yanque.
The detailed analysis, including the inference on the personalities of Liu Tingsheng and Guo Geming, may be more detailed than Lin Ye.
"So you deduce." Xin Yanque asked Ning Weimo: "This time Lin Ye goes south, how likely is it to be fought, and how likely is it not to be fought." Ning Weimo said: "I think there are two Possibly, if Xiao Jinrong followed, the number of those who would fight might be 40%; if Xiao Jinrong did not follow, the number of those who would fight might be more than 70%."
"Secondly, if Xiao Jinrong doesn't follow, the probability of fighting is 40%. If Xiao Jinrong follows, the probability of fighting is more than 70%." Xin Yanque smiled and said: "First, you can really say that Nonsense, secondly, what you mean is that our general is rushing to fight." Ning Weimo said: "General, he is a general after all." This sounds like nonsense, but in fact it is The sentence is indeed not.
A general is a general, and of course he prefers to use more direct and thorough methods to solve problems.
"Don't think of Lin Ye as a simple warrior." Xin Yanque said: "If he can solve the problem with strategy, he doesn't have to go to war." Ning Weimo said: "What a minister does to a general." Understand, even if he solves the main problem with strategies, the general will still fight this battle, and he will sweep through southern Xinjiang." Xin Yanque was silent for a moment and nodded.
Originally, he thought that he at least knew Lin Ye better than Ning Weimo, but now it seems that Ning Weimo knows better than him. Thinking about it again, it is because Ning Weimo must do more things and know more than the emperor. people.
"Xiao Jinrong..." Xin Yanque said: "This person has some past, isn't he not very honorable?" Ning Weimo said: "It's not about being honorable or disgraceful. In the position of dean of the martial arts academy, Xiao Jinrong Not a single choice is wrong, I can only say that he did everything right at the time." Xin Yanque asked: "Did Ning Haitang have some unpleasant experiences in the martial arts academy?" Ning Weimo replied: "General Ning is here There is nothing unhappy in the martial arts academy. If she is unhappy, who in the martial arts academy would want to be happy?" Speaking of this, Ning Weimo looked at Xin Yanque: "Your Majesty should know that at that time, the Supreme Saint King was... General Ning's backstage." Xin Yanque smiled.
The Ning family brothers and sisters are able to stand out, and they naturally have a huge relationship with his imperial brother. Those two people were arrogant, stubborn and extremely talented. If there was no one behind them to protect them, no matter how outstanding they were, they would be swallowed up by the whirlpool and not even a scrap of bones would be left behind.
Because the whirlpool would not wait until the two brothers and sisters gained power before approaching it. When Ning Haitang caused chaos in the martial arts academy, even Xiao Jinrong didn't know that the emperor was behind her. So at that time, Xiao Jinrong was naturally on the side of Liu Tingsheng and Guo Geming.
If His Majesty had not sent someone there, Ning Haitang might have been sucked into the whirlpool.
"Where is Feng Xiu?" Xin Yanque asked another person. Ning Weimo said: "General Feng is in the martial arts academy. In fact, he is top-notch in terms of grades in various subjects and actual training, but..." Xin Yanque said: "Just because there is no one?" Ning Weimo leaned over and said, "Yes." He answered simply.
Xin Yanque couldn't help but sigh. Dayu... Thinking about the past, even though Xin Yanque has become an emperor now, he still has lingering fears.
Although he had never experienced it, all those darkness and viciousness were blocked by his royal brother alone, but he knew those things, and he still felt scared every time he recalled hearing his brother mention them.
Before their father Xie Lian was chosen as emperor, Xie Huankang was also regarded as the master of Dayu Zhongxing.
Xie Huankang ignored the imperial court's obstruction in every possible way and strongly demanded rectification of the imperial examination system. Before this, although there were imperial examinations in Dayu, most of the officials were appointed through the recommendation of the so-called powerful people.
It's like the power of the government is trapped, layer by layer, circle by circle, intricate and entangled. Xie Huankang understood that if the problem of officialdom was not solved first, other problems in Dayu would never be solved.
He began to intervene strongly, personally selected a group of officials, and established a more rigorous and effective system.
But just when he was about to show off his ambitions, he suddenly fell ill. At that time, Xie Huankang was in his prime, both in energy and physical strength. Moreover, he was still a practitioner. Although he could not devote all his time to practice, so that his level never improved after he ascended the throne, his strength was still there. There it is.
Such a person suddenly fell ill, and the illness came like a mountain, and he fell ill.
After Xie Huankang's collapse, the reform of the imperial examination system that had been implemented could only be temporarily shelved.
Immediately afterwards, an important official of the imperial court who was favored by Xie Huankang at that time died inexplicably because his vehicle overturned while traveling. The old horse that had been pulling him for six or seven years was frightened for some reason and directly Rushed down the high slope.
A few days later, another official who participated in formulating the reform of the imperial examination was found to be corrupt. In his house that even he himself did not know, at least 200,000 taels of cash were found. In addition, there were three other officials. A delicate beauty.
The official was quickly convicted before he even had time to redress his grievance, and then was taken to a prosperous place in the city and executed.
At that time, Xie Huankang was already ill and unconscious. He had no idea what to do with such a high official of the imperial court.
When this man who originally wanted to sacrifice his life and blood for Dayu's reform was killed, the people who were watching were still clapping and applauding. I don't know how many people threw messy things at their family.
The look of indignation is always so intense. Not long after that, under the concern of those important officials of the imperial court, the ambitious Xie Huankang died.
The emperor died, and the whole court rejoiced. They worked non-stop to select the next person to be the emperor, and rushed non-stop to bring this person who was suitable to be the emperor from a remote place to Geling.
Although Xie Lian had not read any books at that time, nor had he seen any conspiracies, nor did he know what kind of dire straits were in Geling City, the moment he sat on the Dragon Throne, he knew that he might be better than It will be even worse for an emperor.
So he chose to do nothing, listen to his son, and do what a puppet should do. He did nothing and let himself be manipulated. This was Xie Fuwei's idea for him.
With the foundation of their lineage, if they want to resist when they get to Geling City, then thanks to this emperor, he may not even sit in the chair, and he will inexplicably fall ill and die.
At that time, Xie Lian asked Xie Fuwei, what should we do? Xie Fuwei said...Leave it to me. My father just has to endure it. He will continue to endure it.
Xie Lian stroked his son's hair, with a sad look on his face, and said... How hard will it be for your body to carry such a big thing?
Xie Fu replied, "Someone has to take it. If I can't resist, then our lineage will be at the mercy of others from now on. What's even more frightening is that the same will happen to the people."
Later, Xie Fuwei chatted with Concubine Wan Gui about that past. At that time, the emperor said with emotion, I have known that I should learn more since I was a child. Even if I am weak, I should not fall behind on what I should learn.
When I was young, I stayed with my parents, and no one learned as well as me about farming. When to sow, when to weed, when to thin seedlings, when to fertilize... But unfortunately, none of them were used.
As for the other things, he only started to learn them after arriving in Geling City. He was like a bag, trying his best to swallow things by himself, swallowing everything that was useful and useless.
At this moment, sitting in the imperial study, Xin Yanque still felt frightened as he recalled what his elder brother had said.
Not to mention Ning Haitang, not to mention Feng Xiu, if his elder brother had not won, even he might be sucked into the vortex at any time, crushed, and then dissipated into nothingness.
"Who is right and who is wrong..." Xin Yanque sighed softly: "I understand what you mean when you say that you are right. Xiao Jinrong was the dean of the martial arts academy at that time. Of course, when he chose people, he didn't just choose ability. , but also choose connections." Ning Weimo said: "Actually, Xiao Jinrong has a very good understanding of hiring people. When the Supreme Sage knew that Liu Tingsheng had problems with his character, he still sent Liu Tingsheng to southern Xinjiang because, there was no There is someone more suitable than him." Xin Yan nodded weakly.
Liu Tingsheng is a man of foresight and foresight. Foresight and foresight are actually two different things. It’s the difference between being able to see it so you prepare in advance and being able to see it but turning a blind eye.
He probably knew a long time ago that with his foundation, he would not be able to climb to a high position in Geling City.
So he tried his best to marry the granddaughter of a retired minister through Xiao Jinrong's relationship. This retired veteran minister had served as an official in southern Xinjiang for twenty years. From the government to the state, he brought convenience to many people.
With this relationship, Liu Tingsheng began to prepare more seriously for being an official in Jiangnan.
Could the emperor know? The emperor knew it, but at that time there was chaos in southern Xinjiang, so someone from the central court had to be transferred to control the chaos.
If people are not transferred from the imperial court, the local people will not obey anyone, which will cause chaos, even separatism, and then melee.
If the transferred person is not suitable, he will be killed by others when he arrives in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, Liu Tingsheng, who has a very profound background, suddenly became the most suitable person.
Of course people in the local area don't care about Liu Tingsheng, but they do care about Liu Tingsheng's father-in-law. His father-in-law had been in southern Xinjiang for twenty years, and almost all officials of the fourth rank and above were related to his father-in-law. Even if such a person would become a hidden danger after leaving, the emperor must let him go.
Not surprisingly, with that connection, Liu Tingsheng quickly restored order to the chaotic Jiangnan. Regardless of what this order is, at least southern Xinjiang has settled down, and those local officials have become very thrifty and gentle again.
In addition, the Pingnan policy formulated by Xiao Jinrong and Liu Tingsheng used the method of distant communication and close attack to cultivate the two small countries of Baiman and Greenman, and the outside of southern Xinjiang also became stable.
Liu Tingsheng became bigger and stronger in southern Xinjiang in just a few years. He is not a military commander. Although he is the governor of a local state and a feudal official, the border troops are not at his disposal.
The first thing Liu Tingsheng did after he left was to deceive the disobedient border army general, poison him with a glass of poisonous wine, and then quickly promote the second-in-command in the army.
A few years later, after the high-ranking deputy general became more and more domineering, another glass of poisonous wine sent this man to the West.
With the support of the entire power group in Jiangnan, his method of appeasing the border troops was extremely simple, which was to give money, constantly.
The soldiers of the border army benefited from him, and of course they became more and more obedient. In this way, Liu Tingsheng gradually became the local emperor of Southern Xinjiang and the leading brother of the small countries outside Southern Xinjiang.
Ning Weimo had already told Xin Yanque in detail about these things. So Ning Weimo knew very well why the general took Xiao Jinrong with him.
The dean of the martial arts academy, who retired to seclusion four years ago, really has nothing to do with the feudal official?
Who believes it.
