Chapter 1030 King Chu: Can Duke Wei and I have a son and daughter?
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
This is neither the official court nor the noon court, but an emergency imperial meeting.
On the beam floor of the Hanyuan Hall of Daming Palace, the palm prints of the Five Mansions, Six Ministries, Nine Ministers, and Six Divisions, as well as the civil and military officials in charge of the censor, are reflected on the floor. In addition, there are three feudal kings, King Qi, King Chu, and King Wei Sit and watch.
Today is a court meeting, discussing side affairs.
Emperor Chongping sat behind the imperial case, his expression was uneasy, there seemed to be a hint of hostility on that gloomy face, and his eyes wandered over the ministers of the cabinet and military affairs office below.
The civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty also looked dignified, said nothing, and were filled with shock and anger.
If it weren't for the past, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty might not have been so uproar, but after nearly two years of continuous victories in the Han Dynasty and frequent victories in the northern wars and southern wars, they have formed a psychological dependence on victory.
Emperor Chongping said in a cold voice: "My lords, the Mongolian Tartars in the northwest are rampant, killing my officers and soldiers, and occupying my territory. How do you all think about it?"
A group of civil servants below were whispering to each other and discussing in private.
"Your Majesty, I thought it was necessary to dispatch the Heavenly Soldiers to Qinghai as soon as possible to quickly settle the border troubles!" At this time, Pang Shilang, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, said loudly.
Jia Heng was the first to get out of the crowd, and volunteered to say: "Return to the Holy Lord, I am willing to lead the army to the northwest to conquer Heshuote Mongolia!"
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers present were not happy but worried, and even frowned secretly.
How can Duke Wei go to the northwest?This is another great achievement, is it possible that he will be promoted to the title?
Then in the future, if you make more contributions to the Shangdong captives, there will be no seal, which will be even more disaster than blessing for the community!
Xu Lu glanced at the young man who was standing in the front row, and there was a look of worry in his eyes.
Xining was defeated, which made Wei Guogong right again!
The day before yesterday, it was mentioned that after Jin Xiaoyu led the army to the expedition, he might suffer a huge defeat. Sure enough, in just one day, the report of Xining's defeat had been delivered.
It is not an exaggeration to say that things are as good as gods.
But the more this is the case, the military affairs of the Han Dynasty cannot be entrusted to one person.
At this moment, it can be said that the thoughts of a loyal minister like Xu Lu are also the thoughts of some civil servants in the palace.
At this moment, an inner eunuch came running quickly and reported to Emperor Chongping, "Your Majesty, the king of Nan'an County and all the military planes have entered the palace to perform their duties."
While speaking, I saw Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and others entering the hall in a mighty way.
Emperor Chongping cast his eyes on Yan Ye and said, "Yan Qing is flat."
While speaking, Yan Ye, Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu, Ma Shang, Chen Ruiwen and others got up one after another.
Emperor Chongping asked: "Did Yan Qing know about Qinghai's defeat? Jin Xiaoyu led [-] soldiers to fight against the enemy, and [-] soldiers died in Haiyan."
Just the day before yesterday, when Xining delivered the victory report, the people in front of them kept saying that Xining would win, but it turned out that Jin Xiaoyu led the army to attack Haiyan, which was a complete military adventure.
Yan Ye looked solemn, and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I thought that I would send troops to rescue immediately. The guards and horses of the Xining Mansion were weak and were defeated by the Mongol Tartars. Once they become bigger and link up with the Hufan people in Qinghai, they may send troops to threaten them." Xining, once this happens, I am afraid that my big man will be like Xixia in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there will never be a peaceful day in the Northwest."
As he said that, he changed his face and said: "My minister is willing to lead the army to fight, and to quell the troubles in the northwest for the sake of the Holy One."
Liu Fang said: "Your Majesty, I am also willing to go to the northwest to fight!"
Shi Guangzhu and others also came out more and more, saying: "My minister is willing to go to the northwest to fight!"
Just like the enthusiasm on the day of the wedding, Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and other founding heroes of the country, volunteered one after another.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and asked: "Now that Duke Wei and the King of Nan'an are going to lead the army, what do you think?"
At this moment, the Son of Heaven obviously hesitated in his heart. In other words, Jia Heng mentioned yesterday that the King of Nan'an and others might lose, which had some influence on the Son of Heaven.
Because, Jia Heng said too many things, even Jin Xiaoyu's big defeat was accurately predicted for Jia Heng.
At this time, Cen Weishan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, held an ivory jade wat, and went out to play: "My lord, I think that the Duke of Wei will return after the battle. The court considers that the meritorious officials are sympathetic, and it is not appropriate to work hard."
Zhao Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, listened, his lips moved, but he did not speak after all.
The former cabinet minister who had just been deeply involved in the imperial examination fraud case has recently become dormant in the imperial court.
Jia Heng tried to reason and said: "Master Cen, I don't think it's hard work, and besides sharing the worries of the court's military affairs, why do you say it's hard?"
At this time, Yao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the side of the Beijing camp needs to rest and recuperate, and can no longer send troops. It is more important to recuperate."
At this time, Li Kedu said to Hu Yi: "What Master Yao said is true, Duke Wei has just got married, and the imperial court can't send him many times to punish him for the sake of sympathizing with meritorious officials."
Chen Duan, the chief censor of Jiangnan Dao, said: "Your Majesty, in the spring, we, a big man, fought against the Eastern captives. The soldiers and horses have just returned victorious, and then we will go to the northwest. The soldiers are tired of fighting."
Yan Ye, Wang of Nan'an County, said: "There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses staying in the Beijing camp before the expedition. They will be raised for thousands of days and used for a while. This king will lead these soldiers and horses, and bring the red barbarian cannons."
Jia Heng frowned, a haze cast over his heart.
Nan'an can be defeated, but the Hongyi cannons cannot be taken away by them, otherwise, once they fall into the hands of Mongols or Jurchens, the firepower advantage of the big Han will disappear in the future.
But now not only the emperor doesn't want him to lead the army, even the civil servants present don't want him to lead the army to Qinghai again.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, he should keep a low profile after he wins Jurchen and is worthy of the princess and princess.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, glanced over the group of officials below, and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Li Ge?"
Li Zan said: "The war between the Beijing camp and the Fangli war, I think that it is not appropriate to start another national war. Is it feasible to dispatch an elite force from the capital to integrate Ningxia and Xining troops and horses to expel the Qinghai Mongolian Heshuo army?"
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials said to Shizhong: "Your Majesty, I think that Li Ge's strategy is feasible. Compared with Jurchen, who is my confidant's confidant, Qinghai and Mongolia are really suffering from scabies. The more than [-] troops in Shangxining, unified by the Beijing battalion, are enough to put down."
"In your opinion, who is the best leader?" Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and asked.
Li Zan hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.
Although he still prefers Duke Wei to lead his troops to the northwest, the military affairs of a country cannot be justified by only one person.
In fact, not only Chen Han, but any dynasty, if only one person is used, it will gradually dominate the power, and eventually the power will fall, without exception.
The more famous generals gather, the less risk of military generals seeking to usurp the throne.
At this time, Han Huang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, held an ivory jade wat and said loudly: "My lord, I think that the king of Nan'an County is old enough to seek the country, so he can lead the troops there."
Now the military affairs of the imperial court are dominated by one family again, which is not good for the community.
"My minister seconded the proposal." Xu Lu said, holding an ivory jade wat and cupping his hands.
There was a hint of understanding in Qi Kun's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."
The abolition of the two and the reform of the Yuan also needs to be handled by Wei Guogong. The matter in the northwest is just a disease of scabies. The king of Nan'an, a veteran who has been in the field, should be fine.
"My minister seconded the proposal."
"My minister seconded the proposal."
At this moment, the censors of Ke Dao also came out to join the class one after another. It can be said that the consensus to let Duke Wei take a break had already been reached in the hearts of the officials of the Han Dynasty.
Jia Heng looked at this scene, his eyes darkened a bit, and he felt some emotion in his heart.
For so many years since the founding of the country, Chen Han has also followed the unspoken rule of not appointing only one person in military affairs. The several wars between Taizong and Longzhi years have shown that a group of new Wuhous have appeared one after another.
It can be said that this is a tacit political understanding between Chen Hanjun and his ministers.
But you have to fight when you should fight.
It’s just that the Miaotang Gonggun princes really thought that they could defeat Heshuote Mongolia with the help of Nan’an County Prince and others?
But such words are not suitable to be said in public. Since the emperor has already chosen someone, saying such words would be a slap in the emperor's face.
The king of Nan'an was inexplicably excited when he heard the sound of response from the hall.
The child doesn't know the severity, and wants to take all the credit for himself. Now the courtiers are really vigilant, they are still too young.
Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, you just got married, and you are going to the south of the Yangtze River to eliminate pirates. This time, I will hand it over to Yan Qing and others."
No matter how easy it is to use, you can't just use Ziyu, you must have comparable martial arts in military affairs, and the military affairs of a big man cannot walk on one leg.
This can't be regarded as suppression. Ziyu went to the south of the Yangtze River to help try out the New Deal, cleared the pirates, and made great contributions. He should be promoted to a noble, and he can still be promoted to a noble.
Jia Heng's complexion did not change, he cupped his hands and said: "My minister would like to obey the imperial decree."
Up to now, he can only let the big Han monarch and ministers toss about wishful thinking, and he can be regarded as the most benevolent.
In fact, if there were no failures in the five anti-encirclement campaigns, there would be no such-and-such meeting.
At this moment, King Nan'an, Liu Fang and the others heard the young man's voice, and felt a sense of relief welling up in their hearts.
Have you ever seen a child so deflated?What a joy!
No matter how good you are at fighting, but the emperor and courtiers don't need you, so what can you do?
Moreover, is this the suspicion of the monarch and his ministers?
The King of Nan'an's eyes flashed, and he sneered inwardly.
Once the monarch and his subjects suspect each other, it is only a matter of time before they turn against each other.
Emperor Chongping said in a loud voice: "Ziyu has also packed up and went to Jiangnan in the past few days. Wang Shuirong of Beijing and Gao Zhongping, the governor of Liangjiang, have urged him many times. Jiangnan and the southeast coast are urgently out of the northwest."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
With that said, he slowly returned to the court class.
Wei Wang Chen Ran looked at the boy in the python suit standing upright like a green pine, and sighed slightly in his heart.
If it was him, he would definitely trust Ziyu with all his strength, but the emperor actually still suspected Ziyu deep down in his heart.
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "The commander-in-chief of the army has been finalized, and the ministers discuss when to send troops, how many troops to send, and where to transfer food and supplies?"
Jia Heng's face was silent at this moment, since he is not the person in charge at this moment, he should remain silent.
The king of Nan'an County said: "My lord, the Xining army is in such a hurry, I think I should choose the iron cavalry from the Beijing camp to dispatch troops quickly. If the brave camp is the sharpest of the Beijing camp, I will mobilize the troops and horses of this battalion, led by Liu Fang, and they can be the vanguard."
When Jia Heng heard this, he sneered in his heart, the king of Nan'an had something bad in his heart, if he dispatched his Guoyong battalion, it would definitely be used as cannon fodder, and then he could concoct his generals at will.
But this matter does not require him to argue and defend.
Liu Fang's cheeks were flushed at this moment, and she cupped her fists and said, "My lord, I am willing to be the vanguard of the army, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water."
Emperor Chongping was noncommittal, but looked at Li Zan and asked, "Li Qing, Shi Qing, what do you think?"
Li Zan frowned, and said: "My minister thought that the last time the Beijing camp dispatched the Guoyong camp and the Fenwu camp just after the battle, it was the time when the soldiers were exhausted and they needed to rest. The soldiers and horses staying in the capital for the first time can be regarded as the meaning of rotation and battle."
Shi Jie, the servant of the Ministry of War, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is the same reason. Last time, the Jurchen invaded by several routes, and the soldiers and horses left behind in Shenjing City were all elites from the capital. This Western Expedition will also enable them to kill the enemy and serve the country." , the heart of fist and fist to make contributions.”
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said: "The two love ministers are right. The Beijing camp is not a route of soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses who went to the northern border last time will also rest this time."
The king of Nan'an was disappointed when he heard the words, but he didn't want to say anything else.
Fortunately, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, and there are other soldiers and horses that can be deployed.
"How much is appropriate to send troops this time?" Emperor Chongping asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, I need at least [-] soldiers to pacify Qinghai Mongolia and the Western Regions this time. At the same time, the Red Barbarian Cannon should also be deployed." Nan'an County King said loudly.
Before the other courtiers could speak, Emperor Chongping had already said: "This time, the main purpose is to contain Qinghai Mongolia, and to regain the Western Regions, we will start a full-scale war with Heshuote Mongolia and Zhungeer. My great Han is now in the middle of internal military affairs, and it is not appropriate to start the country immediately. war."
Hearing this, the king of Nan'an County bowed his hands and said, "It's my minister who didn't think well."
Li Zan said: "Your Majesty, since we want to unify the troops of Ningxia, Gansu, Xining and other places, the imperial court should not send too many soldiers and horses, otherwise the supply of supplies and military supplies will not be enough. My minister thinks that [-] to [-] will be enough to help."
"[-] to [-]." Emperor Chongping thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "[-] to [-] are enough to unify the troops of Ningxia, Gansu, and Xining, and more than [-] are enough."
The two towns of Ningxia and Gansu originally had [-] to [-] troops stationed. If we add the more than [-] troops from Xining, the strength is indeed sufficient.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said, "Who will handle the military supplies?"
At this time, Qi Kun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stretched out his hand and stepped out of a man, who was fat and swayed three times, cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son is willing to help the army escort the grain and fodder."
Emperor Chongping looked at the chubby Chen Cheng with a look of satisfaction, and said, "You?"
"The last time I was in Taiyuan, my son had already escorted grain and fodder, and now he is quite familiar with the road." Chen Cheng, with a simple and honest smile on his fat face, took the opportunity to ask.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, and said, "Then the king of Qi, Chen Cheng, will escort the grain and fodder."
King Qi did not make any mistakes last time.
The King of Chu's eyes flickered at this moment, after thinking about it, he didn't give up after all.
Judging from Duke Wei's intentions, it seems that he is not optimistic about the leader of the Nan'an County King. Should he wait?
By the way, it's not that Ziyu wants to fight against the pirates with King Beijing in the south, he just meddled in that matter, and he can still make a contribution.
"The Military Aircraft Department drafted an order to take Nan'an County Wang Yanye as the general who conquered the west, hold the golden seal, control the soldiers and horses of the military towns of Ningxia, Gansu, and Xining, lead [-] troops to Xining, gather all the generals, and choose a day to go to the northwest." Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, and said: "Chen Cheng, the servant of the storehouse, will be the envoy to transport grain and fodder to supply the army's supplies."
When Yan Ye heard the words, his heart was agitated, his cheeks were flushed, and he bowed his hands and said: "This minister will definitely live up to the trustworthiness of the Holy Majesty, and for the Holy Majesty, Qinghai Hu Fan will be wiped out."
Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu and others also surrendered one after another.
At this point, it's settled like this.
Emperor Chongping looked at the boy in the python suit with a calm face again, and said to comfort him: "Zi Yu also packed up and went to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the military administration, the customs, the new policies of Jiangsu and Henan, and the preparation of the naval division. It needs to be handled by Ziyu."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
A court meeting gradually dissipated.
Almost like a whirlwind, the news quickly spread throughout Shenjing City. Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, led [-] troops to Xining to conquer Qinghai Mongolia.
On the other hand, Jia Heng left Hanyuan Hall and walked quickly towards Ningguo Mansion along the high palace road of the vermilion palace wall, feeling a little preoccupied.
I don’t know how many innocent generals’ lives this battle will cost.
At the moment, the king of Nan'an County stayed in the inner study, and Emperor Chongping taught him the friendship face to face.
Liu Fang, Shi Guangzhu, Ma Shang, and Chen Ruiwen followed the civil and military officials in twos and threes and went outside the hall.
Seeing the young man walking fast not far ahead, Liu Fang said loudly on purpose: "Now the prince will go to Qinghai, destroy Qinghai and Mongolia, and then recover the Western Regions. People who are lucky enough to win with guns and sharp weapons are comparable."
Everyone in Ma Shang talked and laughed, but their eyes were mostly on the boy in python suit who was walking proudly in front of him.
Jia Heng glanced at Liu Fang, his eyes flickered coldly, and immediately shook his head secretly.
It's just a dead person, so there's no need to talk nonsense.
"Duke Wei stay here." At this moment, a clear and loud voice behind him called Jia Heng.
Jia Heng paused, turned around, and stared at the person who came. He had a handsome face and a dignified appearance. He cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
The king of Chu smiled and said, "Duke Wei, the little king just asked for an errand from his father, and after a while he went to the Jiangnan military department to inspect the military equipment, and also went to see the princess. The princess has three or four months to go." It's time to produce."
Because in Jia Heng's previous battle, not only Qi Wang Chen Cheng received bonuses and was promoted from county king to prince, but Chu Wang also praised Emperor Chongping many times for his diligence.
Moreover, there was one more thing that made the King of Chu feel secretly refreshed. The stomach of Princess Wei has not moved yet, and the Song family in the palace has decided to take a concubine for King Wei.
As he said that, the King of Chu seemed to want to get closer, and smiled and said, "I heard that Mrs. Wei is also pregnant?"
Jia Heng said: "Yes, I had it at the beginning of the year, and now the fetus is four or five months old."
The King of Chu seemed to be joking, and also seemed to be probing: "It's a coincidence, it's only a month or two. If the princess and Mrs. Zun give birth to a boy and a girl respectively, Duke Wei and I will still be able to live together." Marry a son and daughter and marry a family."
Jia Heng: "???"
What is the king of Chu talking about?
How can this work?Both children are of his kind, how can they get married?This is simply a human tragedy.
Seeing Jia Heng stunned, the King of Chu also felt that this was possible, and said with a smile: "What does Duke Wei think? Our two families might as well make a baby kiss."
Jia Heng hurriedly withdrew his mind, and said quickly: "The prince is joking, how can the marriage of Tianhuang and the nobles be hastily decided? Besides, the princess may not like it."
If Zhen Qing knew about this, she would probably be so angry that she would sit him to death.
Hearing this, the King of Chu was a little disappointed, but his face did not show the slightest bit, and the smile on his handsome face remained enthusiastic, and he said: "Duke Wei, the princess may not allow it, but after going south this time, I hope that Duke Wei will be more supportive." Take care of the Zhen family."
Jia Heng said: "My lord, you are too polite."
"Duke Wei, Concubine Liu heard that the two younger sisters of the Zhen family were at the mansion, so she wanted to invite the two sisters of the Zhen family to have a meal together at the mansion. Would Duke Wei give you a favor?" King Chu asked, taking the opportunity.
Jia Heng said: "This matter..."
The King of Chu said: "It happens to be practiced for the Duke of Wei. The Duke of Wei is one step ahead. There are still some ordnance supervisors here. Xiaowang happens to have a letter, which can be forwarded by the Duke of Wei to the concubine."
Clearly worried that Jia Heng would not allow it, the King of Chu found an excuse to deliver the letter.
Wei Wang Chen Ran was walking not far away at the moment, and seeing Jia Heng talking to the Chu king, he frowned and felt a little displeased.
Zhou Tingji, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, observed his words, and asked with a smile, "His Royal Highness, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "Master Zhou continues."
Zhou Tingji said: "His Royal Highness, this new imperial examination will be presided over by Master Liu according to His Majesty's intention. What is your Highness's opinion?"
The empress Yuanzi in front of me is a corporal who treats people like a spring breeze. He really deserves to be a nobleman.
Wei Wang Chen Ran pondered for a moment, and said: "Master Liu is very knowledgeable, and he is a high-ranking fan. If he presides over the imperial examinations, he will help you alone, and you can learn something."
This Liu Zheng is the father-in-law of Brother Chu, and he was not involved in the previous imperial examination fraud case, and he was promoted to the Ministry of Rites because of his uprightness and uprightness.
Jia Heng chatted with the King of Chu one after another, accepted his invitation to the banquet, then walked towards the palace gate, got out of the palace gate, got on his horse, and said, "His Royal Highness, King Chu, I am taking my farewell."
"Duke Wei, go slowly." King Chu Chen Qin smiled, then got into the sedan chair accompanied by his servants, glanced at King Wei not far away, and sneered coldly.
He just showed it to King Wei on purpose.
