Chapter 102 He Is A True Emperor

"Hundred Refining Sect!" Zheng Ming said with a light smile.

Apart from Bailianzong, Zheng Ming couldn't think of any other forces that could make Zheng Qingsong plan so secretly.

Yu Huatian wondered, "For Bailianzong! But why did His Majesty let Liang Songnian and Song Yan return to the capital? Also, His Majesty seemed to show importance to His Highness before, and why?"

Zheng Ming smiled.

He sat at the tea table and poured a cup of tea.

"You think too much, there is no reason, you just value it."

"Although Yu Nanxi's resignation has nothing to do with this king, it really made the royal family lose face, so he was very dissatisfied with this king. In addition, this king didn't have any outstanding talents at that time, so he directly abandoned this king. , demoted this king to this Shanhai County."

"But with the development of Shanhai County, he should think that the king has some talents in governing the local area, so he should pay more attention to it. The garrison and salt introduction are just rewards for the king."

"As for Liang Songnian and Song Yan, he just did it conveniently, with the intention of beating me and encouraging me."

Zheng Ming took a sip of the tea, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"This king, this cheap father, is a very confident person. In his heart, we princes are just a bunch of mischievous children."

"Struggling for the crown prince and the throne are just a frolic for him."

"Li Rushan, the guarding general, Liang Songnian became a cabinet minister, and Song Yan became the minister of the Ministry of Rites. It seems that the king's power in the court has expanded a lot, but in fact the court has always been in his hands."

Zheng Ming looked up at Yuhuatian, his eyes were shining brightly.

"He has been the emperor for 40 years. He has supreme majesty in the court, and no one can compete with him in that hall."

"The cabinet ministers, the six ministers, and the generals are all just a bunch of echoes in his eyes."

"He is a real emperor!"

"People who don't know him don't know what he's doing, and people who know him will never get involved in these boring fights, such as Duke Ding and Duke Wei."

The more Zheng Ming talked, the more excited he became. Only at this moment did he really understand his cheap father.

And after understanding, a bit of reverence actually rose in his heart.

Zheng Qingsong has been in power for 40 years, and it seems that he has no achievements, but in fact, he has allowed Dali to pass through 40 years smoothly, and at the same time, he has also maintained the dignity of the royal family under the pressure of Bailianzong.

For 40 years, there were wars and turmoil in Dali, but they were all suppressed by Zheng Qingsong.

During the past 40 years, Dali's national strength has not declined by half, and it has even become much stronger.

This is Zheng Qingsong's greatest achievement.

Now that Zheng Qingsong is old, if there is any regret in his heart, it must be the mountain of Bailianzong that is pressing on the head of the royal family.

So before he died, he had to have a real contest with Bailianzong.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how he wants to compete with Bailianzong!" Zheng Ming said holding a tea bowl.

Yu Huatian stood aside, bowed his head and remained silent.

He was still immersed in Zheng Ming's words, stroking Zheng Ming's words in his mind.

"But why doesn't Your Majesty establish a crown prince?" Yu Huatian asked.

Zheng Ming was taken aback.

Yes!

Why not establish a prince?

Even if Zheng Qingsong wants to compete with Bailianzong, he should establish a crown prince.

"Could it be that the establishment of a prince will affect his plan?" Zheng Ming guessed.

After thinking for a long time, Zheng Ming still didn't understand.

The lack of key information makes it impossible to speculate.

……

After Yuhuatian left Kyoto, a new round of princely disputes took place again.

Because of Zheng Qingsong's relaxed attitude, the princes were full of ambition this time, gearing up for a big fight.

So the court staged a big show of flattery every day.

Stand up here to brag about how virtuous the first prince is, and stand up there to brag about how mighty the second prince is. You brag for a while, I brag for a while, and the morning court is almost over without talking about the business.

Zheng Qingsong yawned while sitting on the dragon chair.

"Song Yan, who do you think is the crown prince among the princes?"

All the officials in the hall fell silent all of a sudden, they all looked towards Song Yan.

It is said that Song Yan just arrived in the capital yesterday, and today is the first time to go to court, when he suddenly heard Zheng Qingsong's question, he was a little dazed.

Liang Songnian, who was standing at the forefront of the officials, changed his expression slightly, and his heart suddenly lifted.

This question is really hard to answer.

Perhaps Zheng Qingsong's attitude has really softened, but as one of the six ministers, Song Yan must not be partial to any prince.

You can propose the establishment of a prince, but you cannot propose a certain prince to be the crown prince.

It's a question of position.

Although Song Yan was upright, he was not stupid. He was able to become a border official like the governor not only because of tough methods.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the crown prince is the crown prince, who will shoulder Dali's future national destiny. Only those with both ability and virtue can live there. Although the current princes have good talents, they have no merit in ruling the world. If your majesty can't make a decision at the moment, you can test a few of them. Prince." Song Yan walked out of the queue and said with a bow.

All the officials looked at him in surprise, guessing what was going on in his mind.

Zheng Qingsong smiled.

"How to test?" he asked.

Song Yandao: "Divide the frontiers, judge talents by the merits of governing the world, and judge virtues by the aspirations of the people."

"Hahaha~~~ It's good to judge talent by the merits of governing the world, and judge virtue by the aspiration of the people. Song Aiqing can be a good minister." Zheng Qingsong laughed.

At this time, Song Yan was very pleasing to his eyes.

Because he had such an idea before, although he didn't care about the prince fighting for the crown prince, but he was very tired of seeing them doing things in the court every day.

Rather than letting them compete in the court, it is better to drive them far away, out of sight and out of mind.

Maybe you can get some surprises, just like Shanhai County.

And under his sudden question, Song Yan came up with such a reasonable reason and method in an instant, which is absolutely amazing.

The key is that Song Yan also added his own selfishness into it without leaving any trace.

Enfeoff the frontier!

Zheng Ming has been in Shanhai County for more than a year, while the other princes are only preparing at this time, the result can be imagined.

Song Yan made it clear that he was seeking convenience for Zheng Ming.

"This method is very good. Choose a county for each emperor's son for a period of two years. The one with the best performance will be the crown prince or chief assistant. Do you think those places can be used as test sites." Zheng Qingsong looked at Zhang Lingzheng.

Zhang Lingzheng lowered his head and said in thought, "Tianyuan County of Guiyun Province, Heng'an County of Guangyu Province, Shangyang County of Nanhua Province, and Yushui County of Beishan Province."

The selection of these four places is also very good, they are all in the southern area of ​​Dali, and the conditions of the four counties are similar, not too good, not too bad.

Of course, they are much better than the original Shanhai County, but they should be worse than the current Shanhai County.

Zhang Lingzheng's move lowered Zheng Ming's advantage in Shanhai County a lot.

Song Yan looked up at Zhang Lingzheng, and said to himself, "Is he making love?"

"Eunuch Wei, let's draw up an order." Zheng Qingsong said with a smile.
