Not long after, a decree came out from the Shi Yusi, excluding Wang Jiaping as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the right deputy capital censor, and the governor Hanhai.
As soon as this decree came out, the ministers in the cabinet started to be in an uproar.
Cabinet bachelors Zhang Wei and Shen Li came to ask Shen Shixing why the emperor suddenly appointed cabinet bachelor Wang Jiaping as governor.
"The prince is a minister who dares to remonstrate, how can he be released?"
Zhang Wei then asked Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing said: "The prince is a person who is loyal to the country and the people. He does not care whether he is transferred to the outside world or turned inward. What's more, being appointed as governor abroad does not mean demotion."
"Yuanfu, the vast sea is a bitter and cold place after all. Is it too unfair for the prince to let a cabinet bachelor go there?"
Shen Li also asked at this time.
Shen Shixing smiled and said: "You feel aggrieved, but the prince will not feel aggrieved. The prince is a person who cares about the country, how can he be picky?"
"Besides, no matter how bitterly cold the vast sea is, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. There are people who have moved there who need to be comforted, and there are foreign invaders who need to be guarded against! Do you think the prince will resist the decree because of this, and then say that the country and the people have nothing to do with him?"
"You know, the prince has always thought of Sheji and the common people in his heart. He will not just let others suffer for Sheji and the common people even though he thinks of Sheji in his mouth!"
"That's what Yuansuke said!"
Shen Li wanted to say more, but at this time, Wang Jiaping came over with a cold expression and echoed Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing smiled slightly: "It's as the servant said."
Wang Jiaping handed over to Shen Li, Zhang Wei and others: "Thank you for speaking out for me, but it really shouldn't be. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will have to go to the vast sea! As Yuan Fu said, I It’s impossible for me to just talk about the common people.”
"That's exactly what he said."
"Your Majesty values the duke, so he is specially appointed as the governor of Hanhai and intends to reuse him!"
"You know, among the bachelors in the cabinet at present, Duke Shen has served as governor of Yingtian, Duke Zhang has served as governor of Shuntian, and Mr. Xu Ge has served as governor of Jiangxi. Mr. Jiu has not yet served as governor. Now that he can serve as governor, the next step is to join the army. The cabinet is in power."
Shen Shixing said with a smile.
Wang Jiaping smiled bitterly.
"By order, His Majesty summoned Wang Jiaping, the governor of Hanhai, on the platform."
At this time, the clerk's voice came from outside.
Shen Shixing then said to the Wang family screen: "As your servant said, your Majesty asked the Duke to governor Hanhai because he cares about the country and the people. That's why he summoned the Duke on the platform. Go ahead and answer the question seriously in front of the emperor." Losing your life’s ambition!”
"As Yuan Fu said, now that I can get the opportunity to be summoned by the platform, it can be said that Jane is in the emperor's heart. Going to Hanhai may really be a test of whether I can do it."
Zhang Xueyan also came over and said something.
Wang Jiaping's black eyebrows could not help but stand up, and he was about to speak, but then he shut up, bowed his hands to Shen Shixing, Zhang Xueyan, and others, and then left Wenyuan Pavilion and came to Yuntai Gate.
"Since the Marquis of Tieling restored Hanhai, our old homeland of Han Dynasty, no official from the border area has taken office in Hanhai. According to Yuan Fu, none of the hundreds of officials are willing to go to Hanhai. Therefore, when the ministers recommend the governor of Hanhai, they often deliberately If he doesn’t vote, he says he doesn’t know who is suitable, but says it can only be chosen by the emperor.”
"Since I want to be abbreviated, I can't just be abbreviated casually. However, after looking at it coldly for more than a year, I feel that you are the most suitable person. Firstly, you care about the country and the common people, and secondly, you are outspoken and dare to remonstrate! Therefore, I will be specially abbreviated. Sir."
"However, Yuan Fu had objections, saying that you are always reprimanding me for the common people of the country. You are not really doing it for the common people of the country, but for the sake of the long-term security of your family, you deliberately deceive me into benevolent and imprison my thoughts on governing the country, so that I can only be a scholar. Lin is at the mercy of Lin, and in the end, compared with the old rituals, the new ritual is just a change of soup without changing the medicine. It has also become a tool to bully the people and deceive the emperor. Therefore, if I let you go to Hanhai, you will definitely resist the order on the grounds that your parents are old and need to be taken care of. If I resign, I will either be accused of being unkind for killing you, or I will have no choice but to let you go back to your hometown and receive tribute from the court in vain, and let you still gain filial piety even though you abandon your loyalty."
When Zhu Yijun said this, Wang Jiaping had to say hurriedly: "Your Majesty! I have absolutely no such intention. Yuan Fu is obviously too prejudiced against me!"
"I don't believe it either!"
Zhu Yijun nodded, said something, and then said: "That's why I insist on appointing Qing Jian as the governor, thinking that I will choose a capable minister to assist Bi in the future."
Speaking of which.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Jiaping: "So, I asked you to go to Hanhai. You shouldn't feel aggrieved, right?"
"I don't feel wronged!"
Wang Jiaping pursed his lips and replied resolutely.
Zhu Yijun said: "Although many people keep claiming that the emperor and father are all right, they always don't give me even the slightest freedom. They use righteousness to wrong me and don't care about my true feelings; but it doesn't mean that I will be so mean and inhumane. How can you argue with them?"
"Therefore, I will try my best not to wrong my people, which is the only way to be benevolent! Therefore, if you are really wronged, you can speak out! I will not blame you for this, or even punish you. It is human nature to fear death and hardship. You will not deny a person just because he is unwilling to endure hardship.”
"His Majesty!"
After Wang Jiaping was silent for a while, he couldn't help but burst into tears, choked with sobs and shouted:
"I really am not aggrieved! It is my honor to be able to guard the border for the Ming Dynasty. How can I feel aggrieved? I can only be motivated!"
"Then why do you have tears in your eyes?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Wang Jiaping sobbed:
"I am moved by your majesty. I die for my confidant. Your majesty knows that I am loyal. I feel deeply moved by your majesty!"
"Second, I have always determined to relieve the king's worries and ensure peace for the country. Now that I have the opportunity to realize my lifelong ambition, I am very excited;"
"Third, I have just realized today that Your Majesty is far more broad-minded than the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. Although I have wronged Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not been mean to me. I feel very ashamed!"
"You are indeed loyal!"
Zhu Yijun praised, and then said: "Otherwise, he would not have asked me to suspend the proposal to move to Xiyuan, or even before that, he would not have sent two memorials asking me to pray for rain."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile and said: "I have issued a decree to suspend the discussion of Xiyuan until the rain falls from the sky before moving again!"
"In addition, King Su, who is in charge of meteorological observation in Qin Tian Jian, has reported that it has been a good time to pray for rain in the past one or two days. I have also issued an order to pray for rain tomorrow. You will also go by then, and then you can go to the North Country with peace of mind. Hanhai, guard the border for me and bring peace to the people!"
After hearing this, Wang Jiaping squeezed out a smile on his face and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty is good at what you do, and you are worthy of being the most holy king throughout the ages!"
"alright!"
"You don't have to say such things."
"When I go to the Northern Kingdom, you should write more articles and poems to record the scenery and people of the vast sea for me, so that I can know the situation in my territory in the future."
Zhu Yijun stood up and started talking.
Wang Jiaping raised his hands and said yes.
Soon after, Wang Jiaping resigned and left Zhu Yijun. As soon as he left the palace, Zhao Nanxing and other civil servants hurriedly found him.
Zhao Nanxing first said: "We already know about the Duke. This must be caused by the conflict between the powerful ministers. I will ask for illness for now before leaving. We will talk about it after we jointly advise you to stay in the Duke!"
"Don't give advice!"
Wang Jiaping suddenly said something.
Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Since we have chosen to do it for the country, we must not hesitate to wrong ourselves for the sake of the country!"
"So, are you admonishing us now to make His Majesty think that we are hypocritical, not true gentlemen, and are forming cliques to disrupt government?"
"Doesn't this force Your Majesty to simply become a ruthless tyrant, or a coward who allows powerful traitors to do whatever they want without caring about the common people of the country?!"
After Wang Jiaping said this, he looked at Zhao Nanxing: "Do you still want to give me advice now?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm right!"
