At that moment, Nie Chen told Jiang Lian's story in detail. After hearing this, all the generals present sighed, this Jiang Lian is a tough guy.
In a dirty, smelly, dim cell, with the help of an oil lamp that emitted a faint light, that broken bowl, he took out the nails from his bones and scraped his own bones to heal the wounds. It makes people think about it. shudder.
People all admired this person they had never met.
King Pingxi nodded and said,
"This person is upright and will not surrender to the enemy. He must be an upright, honest, loyal and patriotic person. He can be entrusted with important tasks, and it is best to be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"I think so too. Jiang Lian can be the Minister of Household Affairs, and Li Ze can be the Minister of Rites or Officials.
Although there are some political talents here, they are not many. Brother, you need some people, right?
Zhou Ping manages the internal affairs in an orderly manner, is very smart and capable, and conscientious. He is a natural talent. It would be best for him to be the right prime minister.
Why don't you, big brother, take on the position of Prime Minister Zuo? "
Chen Wujiang sneered and said,
"You are a general, but your subordinate is the right prime minister, who is more senior than you. Is this appropriate? Aren't you afraid that this Zhou Ping will collude with the emperor to seize your power?"
"My eldest brother is not that kind of person!"
Zhou An immediately stood up and said,
"My eldest brother was promoted and promoted by the lord. He is not greedy for power, and he is very loyal to the lord. He will not rebel against anyone who rebels against him.
If he dares to do anything wrong to the lord, I, Zhou An, will personally tie him up to apologize to the lord! "
Nie Chen also smiled and said,
"Brother, you are worrying too much. The four brothers of the Zhou family are all extremely pure people and will not do anything that would make me sorry. I also have great trust in them.
Zhou Ping was the first civil servant to follow me, and he was also the person I valued and trusted the most. Without him, my army of hundreds of thousands would not be able to reach the capital.
Zhou Ping is very suitable to be the Right Prime Minister. I discussed with my eldest brother and hope that he can understand. In time, you will definitely be able to see Zhou Ping's abilities. "
"Of course I have no objection. As I said, I only know how to fight and know nothing about political matters, and I don't bother to care about them.
And you are best at government affairs, so it is best for you to be in charge of the court.
Since you are willing to let your subordinates have a higher official position than you, it doesn't matter. In this world, whoever has the soldiers has the final say.
It is most suitable for you to be the general, and let Zhou Pinglai be the prime minister on the right to manage government affairs, and Ouyang Ming to be the prime minister on the left to manage military affairs. "
Hearing this, Ling Juan on the side quickly poked his arm and whispered,
"No, you don't want to give everything away..."
"Do you have a say here?"
King Pingxi gave her a cold look.
Ling Juan's face turned red with anger, she turned away to sulk and ignored him.
King Pingxi doesn't want it, but Nie Chen has to give it to him. He has already taken two of the three princes, so he can't take all three, right?
"Brother, that's not possible. If all the Three Gongs and Six Tribes are my people, what about you? What are you going to do?"
"I'll be your subordinate, okay?"
King Pingxi looked at Nie Chen with faint eyes.
"That's not true, that's not true. I'm joking, that's not true."
"Didn't the Korean envoy say that before? I am your subordinate.
Okay, let’s get down to business. I’m not good at politics, and I hate politics. I just like to lead troops and fight. I used to manage seven counties, and every time I saw those political memorials, I would get an unbearable headache.
Mr. Ouyang also said that I was born handsome, and he was right.
I just hope that one day, I don't have to worry about the rear, people's livelihood and political affairs, disaster relief and tax collection, I can just lead my own troops and horses, rush forward to kill the enemy, kill wantonly, and attack cities and plunder territory.
Now that we have our own people who are good at managing political affairs, I will naturally leave it to you.
The national power must be unified, and the military power can be divided between you and me.
I can leave the three public affairs and six ministries, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the entire capital to you, but you must also take good care of the country.
If you don't do well, I will kill you and replace you with a team of capable officials.
In other words, if one day you feel that I am an eyesore and you want to kick me away and monopolize the power of the country, then come over and talk to me, and we will discuss it and find a way to solve this matter.
You and I must never meet at war.
Otherwise, the strong wind will perish. "
…
After having lunch at Prince Pingxi's Mansion, Nie Chen took the generals to the military camp in the afternoon to review the troops, condolences to the wounded, and inspect the supplies.
Nie Chen spent the whole afternoon inspecting the army.
He did not go to the military camp of Pingye Army. Although King Pingxi lent Pingye Army to him, it was not easy for him to point fingers and cause resentment in others.
It's better to keep some distance.
That night, Nie Chen wanted to rest in the military camp, saying that he wanted to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but was forcibly pulled back to the palace by Weng Qiuchan.
Weng Qiuchan was a little dumbfounded. On the way, he promised Nie Chen that he would not torment him that night, and Nie Chen felt relieved.
Nie Chen said he would give Kuner a holiday, and that night, he hugged his beautiful wife and had a beautiful sleep.
But in the morning, I couldn't hold it in any longer.
After all, the sun isn't the only thing that rises every morning.
After some morning exercises, the young couple got up energetically, took a carriage, took their subordinate officials, and Jiang Lian Jiang Lan to the gate of the West Market in the capital.
There are many large and small markets in the capital, and there are shops along the streets, but the two largest markets are the East Market and the West Market. There are more people living in the west, and the West Market is also the most prosperous area.
In the square outside the West City, there is a large execution platform, where prisoners' heads are often chopped off.
On this day, many people did not go home after rushing to the market. They gathered at Xishikou and waited for the start of today's show.
The wind is fierce and the people are strong, and the people are never afraid of beheading, but like to watch onlookers.
Sometimes it feels very satisfying to kill corrupt officials for their heinous crimes, and sometimes it feels very satisfying to see someone more unlucky than myself.
After all, who doesn’t live a very hard life?
Occasionally watching some fun can also adjust your mood, and you can also chat with others after dinner.
"Hey, you haven't seen that before the man chopped off his head, he shouted that he will be a hero again in twenty years. Then chop off the head and drag the body away to see that the wooden boards on the ground are wet with urine. Why are you pretending to be a hero? ah……"
And so on, so many.
What's more, are you still going to chop off the head of the traitor Mingxuan today?
The people inside the capital are different from those outside. They are very proud. They are all proud to be born at the feet of the emperor, and their recognition and loyalty to the emperor are very high.
As the first person to rebel, Mingxuan killed the emperor and overthrew the country's power, and the people in the capital hated him extremely.
