"Father, I believe that most of those who brought people from the Western Regions to Daxing privately were deceived by those people from the Western Regions. I also ask my father to show mercy and not fall into the enemy's conspiracy. The competition has not yet begun. Let's start with our Daxing." The inside is split apart!"
King Kang's words were striking and striking.
Especially those officials who didn't know whether to admit their mistakes or how to admit their mistakes saw this golden staircase and went down the stairs.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's rebellious son was also deceived by the Beidi man, and was accidentally taken to the forty-three people outside the pass. The old minister had beaten him fifty sticks and asked for help, and made him kneel in the ancestral hall. But the old minister really didn't expect that, These Beidi people say they are here for fun, but in fact they are members of the envoy group."
An old courtier in the first three rows knelt down.
It is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen's family is also in the same situation. Wei Chen's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen day by day. Wei Chen is willing to dedicate all the proceeds from this caravan to Your Majesty to be used for the transportation expenses of students from all walks of life who are on their way!"
A young minister three rows behind came out. Not only was he sincere in his attitude, he was also very particular about his work.
Therefore, the anger on Zhou Qian's face finally dissipated a lot.
"I am very pleased with what this dear lady said. Indeed, many dear ladies were deceived in this matter, which led to such a big mistake. Compared with pursuing responsibility, the most important thing at this time is how to solve it. Students from all walks of life are preparing to go to the capital to participate in the competition."
Zhou Qian’s evidence was also much milder.
Seeing this, everyone still didn't understand what he meant.
It’s okay not to hold anyone accountable.
The ill-gotten wealth obtained through power was used to subsidize the food and accommodation of talented people from all walks of life during their journey, and even after arriving in the capital.
Although the envoys from the countries in the Western Regions arrived earlier than expected, the capital city was originally a gathering place for many talented people in Daxing. In addition, the Jinling Poetry Fairy, whose reputation was growing day by day, was from Jiangnan Road. The distance from Yumenguan to Beijing is not much different.
There is something wrong with this matter, but it is not irreversible.
But if they want to restore their status as loyal subjects to the country in His Majesty's heart, they cannot just express their opinions, they must also make substantial sacrifices of interests.
Only by giving up can you gain.
After understanding the pros and cons, the courtiers involved no longer hid, they stood up in line one after another, and after expressing sincere repentance, they offered to be responsible for all the travel expenses, food and accommodation expenses of the students from all walks of life, and refused to do so. Don't do it again.
Zhou Qian, who was sitting on the jade steps, finally broke the ice with his tense expression.
While listening to the courtiers complaining about their regrets, he secretly glanced at King Kang who was handing the steps to the courtiers, and laughed secretly in his heart: The fourteenth man has become more and more naughty recently, and he found the right opportunity to give these courtiers a favor to avoid disaster, but he happened to do it again. Especially to my taste.
After today's court meeting is over, I am afraid that the threshold of Prince Kang's Mansion will be broken through by the courtiers again.
It turns out that Zhou Qian felt that he had been too partial to King Kang recently and wanted to leave the defense and other matters of receiving envoys from the Western Regions to King Jin. He would first give King Jin 500 troops to see his reaction.
As a result, after receiving the memorial today, he completely gave up the idea.
The battle for the crown prince tests not only the strength between the princes, but also the emperor's likes and dislikes.
He couldn't always think of compensating King Jin when King Kang benefited from doing practical things just because he favored King Jin's lineage in the past.
He is old.
The battle between the two kings should not stop at an even match, to prevent the prince from becoming too powerful and thus threatening him.
on the contrary.
When the countries in the Western Region were about to make a move, and the Japanese countries were eyeing the disaster and surrounded by wolves, he wanted to choose a successor who could take on the important role.
And he is definitely not a conservative with mediocre qualifications who can't even handle his own family affairs.
"Fourteenth, dear friends, since you proposed to handle the matter of supporting students from all walks of life this time, you will be responsible for the coordination and handover, and also, girl Jingxian."
"My granddaughter is here."
Zhou Jingxian, who was in the front row but kept silent, came out.
Ever since she came to court, Zhou Jingxian's policy has been to never speak if it's none of her business.
She knew her weakness of not being good at words. With the skills she learned from Mr. Ning, she could only deal with ordinary people. To deal with these old foxes in the court, she was afraid that by saying ten words in one sentence, they could pick out a hundred people. Come from a wrong place.
So, say as little as possible.
When Zhou Qian saw the calm and reserved Zhou Jingxian, a smile appeared on his face.
"Girl Jingxian, you have done a good job in the work department's errands recently. Now it has entered a stable stage. Thank you for your hard work."
When Zhou Jingxian heard this, she knew in her heart that her errand was basically coming to an end.
She cupped her fists and bowed: "It's hard work, but I am only responsible for supervision. The hardest work is the directors and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works."
Facing such a granddaughter who was not modest but also not very happy with her achievements, the smile on Zhou Qian's face deepened.
He waved downwards, signaling Zhou Jingxian to move forward.
It would be fine if it were placed somewhere else. Here and now, it is the Chaoyi Hall where political affairs are discussed, and in front of Zhou Jingxian is the seat of the King of Jin.
The emperor's actions were not rash.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the Jinwang faction present were filled with doubts.
But they could not stop the emperor's intention and could only watch Zhou Qian announce it in public.
"In this competition, you, girl Jingxian, will be responsible for the security. You will be in charge of a thousand elite soldiers, five hundred people will be mobile, and five hundred people will be responsible for guarding the safety of students from various countries and students from all walks of life. Can you do it? "
If it were anyone else, Zhou Qian would not be so patient and ask if he could do it or not.
And even if he asked, in his opinion, many people would agree to the temptation of military power.
Only his granddaughter will never show off.
"Grandpa Huang, for this competition between the various countries and Daxing, there are thousands of people in the mission alone. My granddaughter thinks that only 500 mobile troops are not enough."
Zhou Jingxian has never led troops in a war.
But she had learned the secrets in assassin pavilions in various places.
If you want to kill those envoys from the Western Regions, five hundred mobile soldiers are enough. But if you want to protect them, five hundred people will have to protect almost five thousand people. Keeping them all safe is simply a fantasy.
"Bold! Princess Xian dares to refute His Majesty's order. Does this mean you think His Majesty is wrong?"
"Five hundred mobile troops plus five hundred guards, that's a thousand soldiers and horses, and you still think it's too few? Do you want the 20,000 Beijing Guards to be under your control?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Xian has never led an army before, and this matter is of great importance, related to the reputation of Daxing. I suggest that it is most appropriate to leave it to experienced army leaders and people who have been in contact with the countries in the Western Regions."
The people sent by the King of Jin criticized him with words and writings.
Anyone with long ears can hear the last suggestion, and it was King Jin who recommended it.
Because the King of Jin once took charge of the Beijing Guards to guard the safety of the capital, and as a peace negotiator, he also dealt with envoys from various countries all year round.
It has to be said that this proposal coincides with Zhou Qian's previous thoughts.
