At the court meeting, the official in attendance was reading out the agenda of the meeting.嚝
"... After verification by Longlin Guards, there was an extremely frequent exchange of letters between Qiu Luan, the commander of the nine provinces, and the rebel leader. Although there is no clear evidence that he participated in the rebellion, it involved abuse of power for personal gain. For the sake of safety, he was suspended from his post and recalled to Beijing for the sake of safety. Investigate carefully!"
Recently, Jia Lian has been quite high-spirited.
After taking over the Dragon Scale Guard, he has become a veritable pillar of the Jia family.
Who made him the only one with a real job in Rong Ning's second house?
In addition, the title of Rong Mansion is already in his pocket.
In the eyes of an old relative, he was more of a national uncle than Baoyu, a close uncle to the country.
In fact, the number of times he has visited the palace has far exceeded that of Mrs. Wang.嚝
Prince Zhongshun's affairs are the top priority of his recent work.
Although Jia Lian has little experience, he is better at being careful.
Almost every detail was reported to Yuanchun for disposal.
Regarding Qiu Luan's matter, the founding family has also filed impeachment memorials many times.
It's just that the Dragon Scale Guards haven't found any real evidence of rebellion, and that's why it's been delayed until now.
This time, after Yuan Chun discussed with the cabinet, he finally decided to recall Qiu Luan first.
However, several members of the cabinet have different opinions on the candidates appointed to take over the Nine Sides.嚝
After communicating with Feng Yibo, she took the matter to the court meeting for discussion.
After the waiting officer finished reading, Yuanchun behind the bead curtain said in a deep voice:
"The safety of the country is at stake in the nine-border land, and we need a reliable candidate to take over. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
As soon as she spoke, she immediately asked people to recommend her successor.
Don't give the upstart a chance to intercede at all.
When the new rich saw this, they could only sigh secretly.
Before they could react, someone came forward and bowed, loudly saying: 嚝
"I recommend the grandson of Niu Qing, the first-class Bo Niu, to patrol the nine borders on Your Majesty's behalf to reassure the soldiers and the people!"
This man is the grandson of Pingyuan Hou, a hereditary second-class male from the founding line of the country, Jiang Zining.
"The Duke of Zhen Guo visited Liaodong in his early years and is very familiar with the border areas. Uncle Niu has a deep inheritance in his family, and he will definitely ensure that the nine borders are safe!"
The founding lineage has long coveted Jiubian, and even without the Dragon Scale Guard's investigation, they have mentioned this matter many times.
When Niu Qing, the leader of Zhenguo, was alive, Jiubian was the territory of the Niu family.
But as time goes by, the Niu family is similar to the Jia family, leaving only an empty title.
This time, the founding lineage clearly intends to restore the glory of their ancestors.嚝
So they reached a consensus after repeated discussions and ion exchange.
The chosen candidate was Niu Jizong of the Zhenguogong Mansion.
But as soon as these words came out, an upstart immediately came forward and retorted:
"If Mr. Zhen Guo is still alive, there will be no problem, but Uncle Niu has no experience in leading troops. He may not be able to control the border soldiers for a while!"
The soldiers on the border have always been unruly, and it is indeed difficult for those without any military qualifications to convince the public.
The Niu family, like the Jia family, both started out with military exploits.
However, the Niu family's reputation in the border area still exists, so there should be no problem.嚝
But the problem is that Niu Jizong, like Jia She, has no experience in leading troops.
Jiubian is not a capital camp. If something goes wrong, it will inevitably endanger the country and the country.
It is indeed difficult to let a person with no experience in leading troops go to Jiubian to take charge of the overall situation.
"Although Uncle Niu has no experience in leading an army, he has a rich family background, military skills, and horsemanship skills. What's more, the Niu family has lived in the border areas for many years. Who doesn't know about this among the elders in the border areas?"
Jiang Zining sneered and retorted a few words, and then said in a sinister tone:
"The most important thing is that the Niu family has always been loyal and has never had any mistakes. Who else is more reliable than Uncle Niu when he goes to the border?"
In the Wei Dynasty, there were two incidents of assassinating the king and killing the driver.嚝
Once it was Prince Yitada, and once it was Prince Chungshun.
Prince Zhongshun doesn’t say anything, Lord
All that is involved are the new rich.
As for Prince Yoshitaka's case, the founding family was deeply involved.
But the two rebellions had nothing to do with the Niu family.
His words made the implicated Jianguo people somewhat uncomfortable.
It can also be regarded as hurting the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred.
But obviously, these words are mainly telling the upstarts to be a little self-aware.嚝
After all, more or less the new rich are all involved with Prince Zhongshun.
Even if Niu Jizong is not used, it will not be their turn.
Sure enough, when the upstart man heard this, he suddenly looked angry.
But even though his face was red from holding back, he couldn't say anything to refute.
"I recommend Feng Yuan, the Marquis of Chu State!"
At this time, Bai Jiajin suddenly came out of the queue, bowed to Lord Dan, and said loudly:
"Although the Niu family is an aristocratic family, Uncle Niu has no experience in leading an army. If everything goes well, we can give him time to slowly take over. But at this time, what the Wei Dynasty needs most is safety!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Feng Yibo and said with a smile:
"And the Marquis of Chu State has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Sea. As is known to the world, it is no problem to subdue the border soldiers! Especially when the Marquis of Chu State killed the rebel leader with his own hands, his loyalty is a lesson to the world!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned.
If we just talk about Feng Yibo's qualifications, that would definitely be enough.
But judging from the current situation in the DPRK, can the Queen Mother allow her most trusted person to leave the capital?
Both the founding party and the new party looked at Bai Jiajin like a fool.
They all complained in their hearts: Don’t you think you are asking for trouble?嚝
Bai Jiajin seemed to admire Feng Yibo, but in fact he really had no choice.
The upstart had finally obtained the power of Jiubian, and he was about to hand it over before he could hold it back.
If it was before, it would be nothing more than returning it to its original state.
But now that it is handed over to the founder of the country, won't the Japanese country's compensation be completely in vain?
However, as Jiang Zining said.
Most of the new rich are involved with Prince Zhongshun, and they will definitely not gain the trust of the Queen Mother at the moment.
It was precisely for this reason that he was so anxious that he recommended this person who had made great achievements in rescuing the driver and was therefore the person whom the Queen Mother trusted the most.嚝
Feng Yibo was not only the most trusted person by the Queen Mother, but also a participant in the Japanese peace negotiations.
At least it will ensure that all the huge benefits of compensation will not be lost.
Even though he might take part, or even most of it.
That's better than losing everything after the founding of the People's Republic of China, right?
When Yuanchun heard this, he immediately became anxious.
Without waiting for Feng Yibo to speak, he immediately responded:
"Although the Duke of Chu has made outstanding achievements, he has never been to Jiubian. It may be difficult to take over for a while. Do you have any other suitable candidates?"
Naturally, she couldn't let Feng Yibo go to Liaodong, as that would make it impossible to communicate on many things.
Not even remotely possible.
Therefore, Yuanchun didn't give anyone a chance to refute, and refused simply.
When all the officials heard this, they all looked like "it's true."
Bai Jiajin could only sigh secretly, knowing that this matter would definitely not work.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said again:
"The Duke of Qing is mature and prudent, and can take on this important responsibility!"
Among the living Dukes, Duke Qing is the only one left with great achievements.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Wei Dynasty.
However……
There was no need to send anyone from the founding lineage, Jiang Zining laughed and said:
"It would be best if Duke Qing could go, but he has not been involved in political affairs for many years and is recuperating at home. Besides, how can his body withstand such a torment?"
As early as during the reign of Emperor Tiantai, the Duke of Qing had retired and returned home to enjoy peace and happiness.
Except for occasionally walking around with the elderly in various families, he keeps the door closed all day long and does not interfere with political affairs.嚝
He is even more indifferent to the affairs of the upstarts, and almost never participates in the dispute between the two sides.
When Bai Jiajin mentioned him at this time, it obviously meant that the new rich were at the end of their rope.
Seeing the two sides coming and going in the court, they were having a great time arguing.
Yuanchun waved his hand helplessly, and the attendant immediately said:
"quiet!"
People from the founding lineage and the newly wealthy people all shut up angrily.
Bai Jiajin also quickly borrowed the donkey from the slope and returned to the queue.嚝
Yuanchun turned slightly sideways at this time, looked at the front row and said:
"What do you, the elders and the princes of Chu, think?"
These days, she has never concealed her trust in Feng Yibo.
This makes the two of them more upright.
Even when she was supposed to be asking questions about the cabinet, she would always say "Marquis of Chu".
All the officials in the court were surprised at this at first, but now they are used to it.
After all, isn't that how the nickname "Xiao Ge Lao" came about?嚝
Several people in the cabinet naturally understood that Yuan Chun was actually asking Feng Yibo.
So all of them were old gods, and no one moved.
At this time, Feng Yibo stepped forward to pay homage and said loudly:
"Back to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, according to my suggestion, it is better to have Lord Teng, the prince of the first nine provinces, inspect the border, which will be enough to calm the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the nine borders."
When the newly rich people heard this, they felt as if they were mourning for their heirs.
They all knew that if Feng Yibo spoke out, Yuan Chun would have no reason not to agree.
What's more, Wang Ziteng is indeed a safe choice.嚝
Unless they take Emperor Jingshun out and make him miserable.
But the problem is that there is no specific reason for Wang Ziteng's resignation.
In the eyes of outsiders who didn't know the inside story, it was only Emperor Jingshun who was suppressing the founding lineage.
In the end, Emperor Jingshun did not force Wang Ziteng too much for the sake of Yuan Chun.
Because Wang Ziteng was not punished, but resigned and returned to his hometown.
When the founding people heard this, everyone except Niu Jizong was overjoyed.
Why didn't they think of Wang Ziteng?嚝
Compared to the Niu family who had guarded Jiubian for a generation, Prince Tengke had only resigned from office not long ago.
The most important thing is that Wang Ziteng is Yuanchun's biological uncle!
Not only is it safe for him to take over, he will definitely get the support of the Queen Mother!
It seems like a sudden realization, but in fact it is just darkness under the light.
Because they are too eager to redistribute interests.
The Wang family, which had lost power, had long been left behind by the founding lineage.
They were about to agree, but they heard Feng Yibo say again: Huh
"But the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, it is best to set a time limit for patrolling the border and observe the results of the patrol to avoid learning from the past."
The implication is that Wang Ziteng still needs to be restrained.
Well done, keep doing it.
If you don't do a good job, you'll have room for substitution.
When Wang Ziteng tried to conquer the nine sides before, he had mixed success and failure.
After all, some achievements have been made.
Emperor Jingshun only asked him to retire and did not break his face.嚝
Therefore, Feng Yibo couldn't directly say his mistakes, and only vaguely mentioned "lessons from the past."
I understand everything.
If it is to stabilize the situation, there is no problem in using him.
But Feng Yibo was actually taking risks by recommending him at this time.
However, the border area is too important, and there are really few people in the government who can take on this important task.
Feng Yibo must find a way to get one of his own people to come over so that he can cooperate and put pressure on the Japanese country to ensure the smooth implementation of the peace terms.
And Wang Ziteng's previous nepotism was exactly what Feng Yibo wanted.嚝
In addition, Kajing's previous strategy when he was planning his strategy in Liaodong was extremely ambitious.
The construction of the fortress was praised by Li Shouzhong.
Feng Yibo also feels that if the fortress defense line can be completed, most of the hidden dangers in the border areas will be solved.
Even as Li Shouzhong said, it is not impossible for the Wei Dynasty to "add another eight hundred miles of territory."
As long as this strategy is realized, it will definitely be a good thing for Wei.
Therefore, it makes sense for him to recommend Wang Ziteng.
But when Emperor Jingshun and Zhang Songyue were both there, he dared to engage in nepotism and make money in a big way.嚝
Now he has become the Queen Mother's biological uncle and the Emperor's biological uncle.
If you really want to let go, why don't you empty out the treasury?
Therefore, it is very necessary to add some restraints.
"Master Wang once conquered nine borders, and he will definitely be able to subdue the soldiers and generals on the border!"
"Yes, the Wang family has been loyal for generations and can take on this important responsibility!"
"The suggestion of the Marquis of Chu is extremely sound, and I second it!"
「……」嚝
In any case, Wang Ziteng is also a member of the founding lineage.
Seeing that Niu Jizong was out of luck, they naturally retreated and settled for the next best thing.
Besides, the Queen Mother's uncle's loyalty is certainly not in doubt.
For a time, everyone in the founding lineage naturally agreed.
Yuan Chun had communicated with Feng Yibo earlier, but at this time he still had to deal with the situation, so he asked several people in the cabinet:
"What do you think, gentlemen?"
After hearing Yuan Chun's question, Chen Qinzhi said with a precious word like gold: 嚝
"Can."
He still did not refuse Feng Yibo's proposal as before.
After all, he also knew that Wang Zi was greedy, but compared to other candidates, he was still capable of getting things done.
Li Shouzhong's impression of Wang Ziteng is somewhat complicated.
When Yuan Chun discussed with the cabinet before, he was the one who held the objection.
Speaking of which, he not only recognized Wang Ziteng's strategy, but also deeply hated his greed.
But the disciple's suggestion now has the support of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.嚝
In the current situation, it seems that it is indeed the best solution.
After pondering for a moment, he could only sigh:
"It's better to send Ke Dao as a supervisor to observe his words and deeds and report truthfully to the capital."
Since you can't replace someone, then find a way to supervise him!
In fact, patrolling the border under orders is similar to the duty of a military governor. Adding a supervisor next to the military governor would inevitably be superfluous.
But as soon as he said these words, the eyes of the new party and the upstarts suddenly lit up.
"I second my opinion!"
"I second my opinion!"
For a time, there was a continuous flow of secondings.
"No!"
This time, the person who spoke out was Chen Ruiwen, the grandson of Chen Yi, the founding Duke of Qi and a hereditary third-rank Wei Zhen general.
The Chen family was implicated in the affair of Prince Yi Zhong, and their title was about to be cut off.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, everyone in the founding family wants to restore the glory of their ancestors.
Chen Ruiwen, who has always been low-key, was particularly active this time.嚝
At this time, he stepped forward and bowed, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, the troops on the front line, especially in important places like Jiubian, are most afraid of going out to many places. If there are Ke Dao to follow them, wouldn't they be tied up?"
The founding people are scrambling to get to Jiubian, and they want more than just military power.
Just kidding, how can we divide the compensation if someone is monitoring us?
