Shen Jing carefully opened a corner of the curtain, gently placed the documents on the table, and then stepped back, expressionlessly facing the ministers who had already arrived.
"It has been an eventful time recently." Behind the curtain, the emperor glanced down and scanned the memorials several times. "Many important matters have been accumulated and have not yet been decided. Since I am here today, I will simply discuss these. All military and state affairs have been agreed upon, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty!" The prince led everyone and shouted in unison.
"First of all, it's the report from the border gate a few days ago." The emperor picked up one of the books and waved it in front of everyone, "the news of Du Qing's death. He was a pillar of talent. I have been worried about it for more than a month. , I still don’t know who can take my place. I wonder if the ministers have anyone to recommend?”
The ministers had almost forgotten such a major event, and they did not expect that the emperor, who had been silent for a long time, would "preemptively strike" and leave them unprepared. The most confused person was Ye Yongjia. He had not yet found an officer he could trust, so he had nothing to say. He just stared blankly, not knowing what to do.
Although the prince and others were a little confused, fortunately, they had deep roots and did not need to worry too much. Someone who had participated in politics in Hunan said: "Your Majesty, although I know a few generals who are good at fighting, my ears are empty and my eyes are empty." To be honest, the Chief of Staff will be on patrol in the near future, so it would be a good idea to ask him to observe the generals and select one who is particularly stable to take charge."
"Prince, what do you think?"
The prince turned around and bowed deeply: "My son and I agree very much. The governor of Xuanhua is an important national position and cannot be appointed lightly. We should wait until the cunsi is released from the capital before taking charge of the district affairs."
"Where is the Ministry of War?" the emperor put down the memorial and asked.
"I suggest to your Majesty that the post of governor should not be established for the time being." Ye Yongjia lowered his head and left the office, speaking every word like a thunderbolt. Tongpao Chen on the side suddenly turned to look at him.
"What does this mean?" The emperor rubbed his sleeves and asked again.
Ye Yongjia looked serious and reported: "Xuanhua has not recovered yet, so the danger points are gone and the defense line is weak. Once the new governor is incompetent and loses the city, the enemy troops will march forward and penetrate deep into the interior. No one dares to predict the consequences. It's better. Send officials to serve as supervisors of the army, so that the border and the imperial court can communicate with each other. The general cannot be independent, and the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages. I hope the Holy One will see clearly."
Chen Tongpao smiled faintly, and the Xiang people also realized the intention and thought to themselves: "The Ye thief is really vicious!" This guy knows that he has no party members at the border, so he wants to use the name of the supervisory army to get people out of the court. This will be difficult for me...'
"According to Ye Qing's plan, who should be sent?"
Ye Yongjia said: "Among the entire dynasty, only the people in our military department are the most knowledgeable about military affairs. Yuanwai Lang Dong Sheng is stable and knowledgeable, and is not afraid of hardships. He is very capable of taking up his post."
"Wait a minute!" Zeng Liang, who had calmed down recently, jumped out again and shouted loudly, "Master Ye, don't you think this is inconsistent? A border general is incompetent. He is just a member of the Communist Party of China. Are you even more senior than them? Do you dare to believe that this director is Wei Huo Fusheng?"
"Zeng Hubu, I haven't seen you so excited for a long time. I'm much more familiar with your appearance." Ye Yongjia smiled contemptuously, "But the purpose of sending Dong members out is not to fight, but to convey military information to the court and control the soldiers according to the emperor's orders. It's just a general. If he really has the ability of Wei Huo, but he succumbs to this position, then he will be the worst of our generation."
Seeing how arrogant Ye Yongjia was, the people from Guoxiang were so angry that they gritted their teeth with hatred. Their brains got hot and they also said: "Your Majesty, the supervisor of the army should also have a deputy position! I would like to recommend someone!"
Except for Chen Ye and the two parties, the ministers' hearts rang loudly, and they all held their breath, making the atmosphere even more tense.
"Haha, what did Lianghou say?" The emperor, who had always been cold and cold, burst out laughing. "The governors are divided into chiefs and deputies, and the supervisors are also divided into chiefs and deputies. It is very troublesome to ask for instructions at all levels. I have made up my mind and order Dong Sheng is the supervisor of the Xuanhua army and will go with him."
The people in Guoxiang were still unconvinced. Fortunately, Chen Tongpao took the lead and shouted: "I will accept the order!" This attracted a large number of echoes, and the chants continued. The emperor nodded with great satisfaction, then reached for the ink pen, personally marked a few lines on the memorial paper, and asked Shen Jing to take it.
"Is King Yi here?" The emperor picked up the second memorial and said, "This is about you."
"My son is here!" King Yi thought he had received the favor of his father, and his joy was evident in his color.
"Then listen up. Mr. Shen, read." He moved his hand slightly to the left, and Shen Jing leaned over to take it, and read out:
"Cheng Ge Ming, the imperial censor, reported: King Yi is your majesty's beloved son, and many of his subjects also want to retain him. Since the ancestral system of ministers and materials must not be violated, it is better to implement the method of one or two: remove the vassal of King Yi and choose one from the capital. If the envoys live in a high-rise mansion, the monarch, ministers, father and son will always enjoy the joy of gathering together, which will be a blessing to the world..."
"His Majesty."
At this sound, Ye Yongjia didn't know who was shouting. He looked around, but no one could speak. He looked at His Highness carefully and saw that it was not the prince. Suddenly looking into the distance, he saw King Yi kneeling on the ground and spitting out two words. , suddenly became frightened and his face turned pale - he was deeply afraid that King Yi would say something he shouldn't have said rashly, and then they would be doomed.
"Your Majesty, what mistake did I make to take away my fiefdom?" King Yi repeated his old tricks and began to sob, "If it is as Master Ge said, everything is based on the ancestral system, how can someone who does not have a real title be called a prince? That's all. , Even though I am a commoner, I can still serve the emperor, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." At this point, he stopped talking and fell to the ground crying.
It was difficult for Cai Xianqing to guess the meaning of the memorial for a while, but he became more and more nervous when disturbed by the crying, and began to observe the surroundings vigilantly, but there seemed to be nothing unusual. However, he felt that he had missed a lot, so he looked at it over and over again, searching like crazy, and finally saw something fishy in it. He bit his lip in horror and thought: 'It's broken! Those Chen Dang didn't say a word must not have launched a temporary attack, but had already set a trap! '
Seeing that Ye Yongjia had no reaction, he pushed his way through the crowd and walked out of the train recklessly, although it was already too late.
"Your Majesty!" Cai Xianqing kowtowed hurriedly before taking two steps, "Master Ge's idea is very good, and I agree with it very much. I just wonder why the prince is crying?" He immediately turned to King Yi: "Your Majesty, you are not a greedy person. For a powerful man to cry like this, it will lead to misunderstanding. Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is here, there is nothing you can't explain, so don't hold it in your heart."
When King Yi saw that Cai Xianqing was so abnormal, he was confused and then suddenly realized. He glanced uneasily to both sides, and then added: "Shilang Cai is right, Shilang Cai is right..."
Cai Xianqing took a deep breath, but before he heard King Yi's answer, he suddenly heard thunder outside the door, mixed with the sound of rain.
