Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 762
"What do you think of the recent heated discussions in the middle school?"

After a little beating, Shi Le frowned and looked at Cheng Ya again. Although he was dissatisfied with Cheng Ya a lot, he couldn't completely ignore his views on the current situation.After all, Cheng Xia is not only an important minister who has followed for a long time, but also the uncle of the prince. Many officials in the country who hold political positions come from his family.

After Cheng Xia heard this question, even if he put up all his energy, part of the reason why he stayed behind closed doors recently was because he didn't know how to respond to Shi Le's question.In fact, there is no need to ask what he thinks. In his opinion, the best solution is to stop using Zhongshan King directly in the past, escort him back to the capital for a crime, and then go south with Pengcheng Wang Shikan as the general, and the southern expedition army retreats successively. , Restore the previous situation and defend on the front line of Huaishui.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that although the southerners can stick to it, they are not capable of the Northern Expedition at all, and they cannot pose a direct military threat to the country of Jie.

But because Shi Le asked knowingly, he was unable to express his true intentions.After all, for Shi Le right now, what is important is not what suggestions he can put forward, but his attitude.

After pondering for a while, Cheng Xia finally did not dare to disobey the Lord too much, and instead said: "In ancient times, there is no sure victory in war. For example, the road of the Lord's achievements in the past may not necessarily win the battle. In Dalue, staying unyielding, never slackening in a hundred battles, is the master of China. Although the Remnant Jin Dynasty is weak, the remaining marshes may not be destroyed; Kuang Nanxiang is closed, and China has been far away. Wang Shu made great achievements in the Central Plains, so he doesn’t need to explain it all, but a tiger rides in the waves, and he will never have the joy of fish and shrimp. If you are not strong enough, you are not proficient in actual skills. Occasionally, small setbacks are also normal..."

"When you say that, do you think that Remnant Jin is blessed by heaven and earth, and will exist for a long time in the world, and no one can attack?"

When Shi Le heard this, his expression became somewhat displeased.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so. Heaven and earth make their own choices, and the scholars and common people see it together. Sima Zhengzong can't keep the state, let alone the descendants of the barbarians."

Cheng Xia hastily defended himself: "What I'm talking about is the limit of the biochemistry of all things. The place where the barbarian soil and rivers are filthy is definitely not a place where the state is biased. There has been no such thing as Wang Xing since ancient times. Or it can't be tolerated for a while. , will eventually be abandoned by heaven and earth!"

After Shi Le heard the words, his face turned slightly better.In fact, Jiangdong is difficult to deal with. He has learned it a long time ago. In the early years, hundreds of thousands of troops in the middle Jin Dynasty were defeated by him. Swept it all away, but encountered setbacks again and again. After all, it was still useless. In the end, he followed the advice of You Hou Zhang Bin and established himself in Hebei, so he has today's king industry.

What Cheng Xia said was not unreasonable.But Shi Le was dissatisfied precisely because what he said was not unreasonable. If he thought about it, it would be tantamount to saying that his previous decision to march south was wrong.

"You and the other ministers have been in general affairs for a long time, and after all, they are farther than the military. The king of Zhongshan, a brave general in a hundred battles, will not lose his composure even if he has a small setback. Now that he understands the principle of the limitation of all things, don't argue about such things in the future. .”

After Cheng Xia heard this, the anger in his heart inevitably deepened. He had been shutting himself out during this period of time, let alone arguing with others about this matter.When Shi Le said this, he obviously still blamed him for the current hot discussion in the country, thinking that he was secretly instigating things!But at this moment, of course he didn't dare to show obvious resentment, he just bowed his head and said yes.

"Since the sick body is already in good health, and there are troubles in the country, I will return to Cao's job later."

With all the troubles going on recently, coupled with his lack of energy, Shi Le really lacks people around him, especially Cheng Xia who is really capable in handling government affairs.What makes people dissatisfied is that he has too many thoughts. The empress's many precepts to Cheng Xia before are exactly what Shi Le wanted to say.Even if you are a humble person, even if you have outstanding talents, if you don't follow the master of the Ming Dynasty, how can you show yourself to this point?People's desires are not enough, it's really disgusting, it is obvious that you can help the government if you are at ease, but there are too many hidden schemes, people can't believe it.

Cheng Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly told some of his recent plans for the current situation.Now that there is a strong opponent that can threaten his position, naturally he doesn't dare to hide his embarrassment anymore, and he needs to let Shi Le see clearly who is available when he uses things.

After listening to Cheng Xia's many suggestions, Shi Le also slightly eased his dissatisfaction with him, and then gave him a few words of encouragement before releasing him.

After Cheng Ya left the palace, it was already afternoon, and he was not in a good mood.Although the atmosphere in the second half of the conversation was acceptable, and Shi Le agreed with many of his suggestions, there was not much gain in regard to his position, even when he said that he would recall the prince to Xiangguo. At that time, Shi Le vetoed it without even thinking about it. He was obviously worried that he would use the power of the prince to gain power and cause trouble under the current situation of continuous disputes in Jin.

When he was about to retire, Shi Le also said that the prince's mother, Concubine Cheng, was worried because of Cheng Xia's recent illness, and asked him to see Concubine Cheng to comfort her.

Concubine Cheng is in her 30s, she is a beautiful woman, so she has always been favored by Lord Zhao, and she has raised several children, and her charm still exists.At this time, I was sitting in the side hall waiting, and when Cheng Xia came to pay my respects, I got up and rushed to meet him, looked at Cheng Xia with concern, and then patted my chest and said: "Seeing that my brother is healthy as usual, I will My heart is much more at ease. Recently, I often want to go home to visit, but the master is not in good shape, so I dare not be willful."

When facing his sister, Cheng Xia finally felt a little relaxed, and said after sitting down, "I don't have any serious illness at all, it's just stagnation of qi, and I can't feel free, so it breeds minor troubles, and my sister doesn't need to worry about it."

Speaking of this, he saw how simple the hall was, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I still ask people to use it. How can I still live in such a simple way? Even if you don't like to enjoy yourself, the main thing you do in your daily life Come up to see you, do you have to be so polite? What's more, your daily life and enjoyment are all related to the prince, how can you be so inferior to the time?"

Cheng Xia knew that his family's honor was largely tied to the concubine Cheng and the crown prince, so he never dared to neglect.In addition, he also knew that his family was not from a prestigious family, and the Lord fell in love with Concubine Cheng mostly because of the woman's beauty and amiability. As for women's virtues and talents, there is really nothing to praise.Therefore, for Concubine Cheng's daily expenses, she also tried her best to provide the best, more attentively than enjoying herself.

After hearing this, Concubine Cheng's expression became a little unnatural, she hung her head and was speechless, with an air of grievance.

The female history standing beside her has already said: "The lord doesn't know, the queen summoned the lady a few days ago, and reprimanded her severely, saying that there are too many flashy things in the lady's room, disturbing the spirit of the lord, it is really..."

"shut up!"

Concubine Cheng saw her elder brother's face suddenly turned gloomy and cold, she hastily opened her mouth to stop the female history who was accompanied by her mother's family into the palace, and then looked at Cheng Xia, with an ugly smile on her face: "The empress abides by courtesy and morality, and the court supervises you." Unavoidably a little..."

"She is just an ugly and despicable woman of Tu Gezahu, who knows no morality! If it wasn't for the cover of the old love of the Lord, she is just a wicked woman who is hated by everyone in the world..."

Cheng Xia couldn't bear it any longer, and the resentment accumulated in her heart against the queen suddenly poured out.

"Brother, be careful..."

When Concubine Cheng heard this, her complexion changed drastically, she asked the palace servants to guard the door so that no outsiders could pass by and heard, then she took Cheng Ya's hand and whispered: "Brother, don't be worse than the queen because of me! As long as my mother's family can prosper and the crown prince is in a safe position, I don't need to worry about the honor or disgrace of a woman...Recently, the lord has often called the queen to discuss matters. Brother, if you speak evil again on this festival, it is really not a good thing. You will not only have to suffer The damage may even affect the prince..."

When Cheng Xia heard this, he was startled in his heart, and hastily closed his mouth and approached Concubine Cheng in a low voice: "The crown prince's heir has already been decided, how could he be affected by a woman? Have you heard any rumors? This matter is of great importance. Don't hide it from me!"

"Actually, there is nothing else. It's just, it's just that the queen has always been indifferent to the prince. Before the king of Pengcheng came to the court to see him, the queen asked the king of Nanyang about his daily life... I also heard it from the side, whether it is true or not, I really can’t say for sure.”

"This wicked woman, this wicked woman..."

After hearing the words, Cheng Ya's face turned livid, and his mood became even worse to the extreme.Among the master's sons, Shi Xing, the eldest son of the empress, died early, so the crown prince Shi Hong stood up as the elder.However, Shi Hongzhi's establishment was not what everyone expected. At least some elders of the Jie nationality were dissatisfied because the prince was born of a Jin.The Empress was born in Tu Ge Za Hu, so she might have this idea herself, but at most she kept silent about it before, but now she dared to reveal something, which immediately made Cheng Xia feel full of crisis in her heart.

Shi Le brought Pengcheng King Shi Kan back to the country, although the main intention should be to restrain Zhongshan King Shihu in this way.But for Cheng Xia, it is definitely not a good thing just because they have a common enemy.In fact, the return of King Pengcheng would only complicate the situation. Although he was originally from Jin, he was Shi Le's adopted son. In other words, the queen was his aunt.Once Shi Le is gone, if King Pengcheng wants to consolidate his power, he will undoubtedly need to move closer to the queen.

So Shi Le brought King Pengcheng in, not only to contain Shi Hu, but also to strengthen the queen's voice in the current situation.In this way, after a hundred years of his person, the current situation will be a relationship of mutual restraint between the three parties.

First of all, the first party is naturally the succeeding prince Shi Daya, who is assisted by a group of Jin people such as Cheng Xia.The second convenience is Zhongshan Wang Shihu, and behind him are many elders and generals in charge of the army.The return of King Pengcheng is a third-party force chosen by Shi Le to balance the current situation. First of all, it increases the Queen's right to speak, making it difficult for Cheng Xia to monopolize political affairs and be controlled by the Queen.As for the adopted sons of King Pengcheng, they were used as the power in the queen's hands to restrain King Zhongshan.

But no matter how tricky you are, you can't count people's hearts. Even if Shi Le himself has no plans to change his heir, he should never have imagined that his wife is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely. He was incapable or able to keep his own place before, but once he has the ability, how can he accept it willingly? The situation arranged by others!Even if this foolish woman didn't intend to do so, like King Pengcheng and his ilk, don't they have one or two similar intentions?
　Many people's impression of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is that internal fighting was serious, but in fact, the internal fighting in Shi Zhao was more intense and complicated during this period. . .Looking at this period of history, I really feel that Shihu is a bit of destiny. He was very lucky. At that time, the Su Jun Rebellion was still recuperating in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Not finished, almost no foreign enemies.During this period, as long as there is a slight external force intervening, Jiehu may collapse directly. . .
