The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 122 The Confusion of the Prince of Beijing County
The Taishanghuang didn't even want to give the Wenhua Palace to the emperor.

At Guiji Gate, there are only six corridors, and opposite Huiji Gate, there is not only the Wenhua Palace, but also the cabinet and other yamen.

In the pavilion of Guiji Gate, every time King Zhongshun came here, he would feel injustice for the emperor in his heart and feel very depressed.

Liu Yiru, a Hanlin scholar, was adopted by the emperor when he was a teenager and was appointed as the crown prince and Taifu.King Zhongshun, the emperor's uncle, the original idle clan.Shi Ding, a honorable man who completely relies on the emperor.

Wen, Zong, and Xun are the leaders of the three parties, and the emperor is only four people. It seems that the place is very empty and quiet.

"This person alone led a state, and now he is recovering Zhenjiang, it's not that the Jiedushi is better than the Jiedushi, and even worse.

The original site of Jinzhou was not as good as Beizhen, but now that Zhenjiang is added, if the two places are connected again, they will be isolated overseas.

The minister also heard that the deputy general of the Tang Dynasty had many illegal actions in Jinzhou, which shows that he is not a person who strictly abides by his duties. Your Majesty must guard against it. "

King Zhongshun said earnestly.

After listening to King Zhongshun's old-fashioned words, the emperor thought deeply.

"Eastern Liaodong is under military control, and there used to be the chief secretary of Shandong who could take care of it, plus the Liaodong capital under the control of the imperial court, it didn't matter.

It's just that the situation in Liaodong has changed dramatically now. There is no Liaodong capital, and Jinzhou is isolated overseas. The chief secretary of Shandong has become the food and road official of Jinzhou.

Although the barbarians are the great enemy, it is an old saying to be loyal to the prince, which must be guarded against. "

Liu Yiru said slowly.

In the impeachment of Tang Qing'an, Wu Wenhua, the Yushi of Henan Province, was his protégé and was also instructed by him.

Shi Ding also thinks so.

But his starting point is different from the other two.

Ming cold and hot inside.

This was Jia Jing's attitude towards Tang Qing'an, which was confirmed by Jia Jing after communicating with him in letters.

It has always been the truth that the rank of governor is low, but the power is heavy, because the imperial court is at ease, and the chief secretary and chief envoy are of high rank, but they belong to the governor, because the imperial court is not at ease.

In the same way, Tang Qing'an was already the deputy commander in chief, with the title of second-rank general in the military governor's office.

When he was promoted to the chief soldier, he was worried that the Supreme Emperor would send someone to Jinzhou to decentralize power. He was very clear about King Zhongshun's current thoughts.

However, the emperor and King Zhongshun can't decide what to do, and it still depends on the emperor's will.

Now that the imperial court does not award or reward, it shows that the Supreme Emperor is still at ease with Tang Qing'an.

After rewarding him, he hung up high, rose brightly and fell secretly, which showed that the Supreme Emperor really suppressed Tang Qing'an.

It has to be said that Tang Qing'an's initiative to go north is indeed a coup.

"We must defend and use it. Whether it is defense or use, it is for the good of the deputy general of Jinzhou. I believe he can understand the imperial court's desire to protect him."

Shi Ding's words are not without reason.

At least for now, no one thinks that the generals of Jinzhou have disobedience, and what they say is just old practice.

For example, Liaodong Jiedu Mansion used to be an independent right wing against Mongolia, and its military strength was no worse than that of Jinzhou now.

Later, with the expansion and development of Liaozuo, Beizhen gradually became the rear, and the power was gradually taken over by the capital of Liaodong.

As far as the current situation is concerned, if Beizhen hadn't lost ground and lost troops in the past, it would have nearly [-] soldiers.

"It has to be used, Liaodong will collapse last year, and the rest of Liaoxi will almost be taken by the barbarians, directly threatening the capital.

The situation in western Liaoning has only stabilized a little this year, and Jinzhou has contributed at least half of it, which shows its importance.

The Supreme Emperor did not reward or punish him, and the minister guessed that this was also taken into account. "

Shi Ding said calmly, with a look of fairness.

"I believe that at least when the barbarians are weak and the situation in Liaodong is under the control of the imperial court, the capital of Liaodong can be re-established, and Beizhen and Jinzhou will be safe."

The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded.

"The Marquis of Zhongjing is thoughtful, the trouble in Liaodong has become a serious trouble, tens of millions of taels of silver are spent in Liaodong every year, and the country has been dragged down to the point where it is riddled with holes.

General Tang has the ability to save the situation in Liaodong, let's use it first, and the father should think the same way. "

Several people discussed a few things, Shi Ding and Liu Yiru left, and King Zhongshun was left behind.

After passing the white jade steps, Liu Yiru and Shi Ding talked while walking.

"Does Shi Gong know how many ships the Dazhou Navy has?"

Shi Ding couldn't answer, the status of the navy was low, he really didn't know much about it, after the Japanese riots subsided in the southeast coast, the navy was not taken seriously even more.

"The Dazhou Navy currently has a total of more than [-] ships, including more than [-] warships of various sizes.

I heard that Jinzhou now has [-] warships, but I checked Denglai's records, and only sent less than [-] warships to Jinzhou.

Then there are nearly a hundred extra warships, where did Jinzhou come from? "

Shi Ding pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"I heard that Jinling sent ships to Jinzhou, and some ships were detained. This may be the reason."

"That's even more strange. Why did Jinling send a ship to Jinzhou? Why didn't I read the official document?"

Without waiting for Shi Ding to explain, Liu Yiru stared at him intently.

"In any case, Jinzhou has [-] warships, and the northern navy's warships are out of ten. Only the south has less than [-] warships. What does Jinzhou need many warships for?"

"The barbarians have suffered so much at sea, so they will definitely find a way to build ships. The Jinzhou Navy does have too many ships, but in order to ensure the peace of the Bohai Sea, it is nothing compared to Jingshi Wuyou."

Shi Ding looked indifferent.

These traditional literati have always been overly guarded against Xungui, grasping the details and not letting go. They did the Liaodong Economic Strategy in the past, and they made the Liaodong Economic Strategy a serious problem for the court.

It's ridiculous to blame Xungui now that he can't do things by himself.

Tang Qing'an is not currently considered a noble, but everyone knows that he is from the noble line.

Historians are different from the traditional nobles. Their ancestors were appointed ministers for their military exploits, and later this position was snatched back by civil officials.

Liu Yiru disliked these nobles very much.

It's just that, as the emperor's teacher, a traditional Confucian scholar, he knows that the emperor desperately needs support from all sides.

And honor is the most important one, at least for now it is more important than civil servants.

They are all long-standing foxes, Shijia snakes and rats at both ends, wanting to put their eggs in two baskets, he has never believed in Shi Ding.

"I hope so."

The corner of Shi Ding's mouth was sunburned, and he ignored him.

The emperor and King Zhongshun came out of the pavilion and stood on the platform, looking at the two figures going away. The wind here was so strong that the curtains rattled.

Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the capital, stepped forward silently and put away the curtains himself.

"Can historians believe it?"

The emperor muttered to himself.

Although he is the emperor, he has always lacked a sense of security. In the huge palace, there is no place where he can feel at ease.

Everyone is like an overlord, and he doesn't know whether to trust everyone who smiles at him.

Who would have thought that Prince Zhongyi's confidant was actually someone sent by the Supreme Emperor, whose every move had long been seen by the Supreme Emperor.

At that time, he was still young, and suddenly he was carried into the palace in a sedan chair by the eunuch, full of fear and fear, and then he suddenly became the prince again.

Thinking about it so far, it's like a dream.

"The Jia family and the Shi family are actually a family. Although the Jia family did not personally participate in the rebellion and escaped, everyone knows what happened.

The Supreme Emperor has suppressed the Jia family for these years, if Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, then I will admit it too. "

Zhongshun Wang Jiongjiong said energetically, wanting to cheer up his nephew.

There is no way to do this, the emperor's foundation is too shallow.

As an honorable person, the historian took the initiative to join the emperor, thus opening the door to the army, so that King Zhongshun could successfully win over some forces in the army.

The emperor lowered his head, subconsciously stroking the carvings on the stone pillar.

"If my father wants to abolish me, can my uncle keep me?"

King Zhongshun couldn't believe it, and immediately asked, "Why does the emperor say that? But is there something wrong?"

The emperor shook his head.

"To be disrespectful, the Supreme Emperor is already so old, how could he still do such things, and the Emperor has always been filial."

King Zhongshun said in relief.

He knew that the emperor had grown up, and he was afraid because of the past, and his heart was terrified.

"The Supreme Emperor recruited the king of Beijing County to enter the palace yesterday, and stayed in Renshou Palace for dinner. It's strange to say that, in the past month, I counted it, and there have been five, six, seven or eight times."

Xia Shouzhong whispered from the side.

A chill came up from King Zhongshun's tail, and his whole body was terrified.

Beijing Palace.

Among the founding kings and dukes, they are divided into four kings and eight princes.

Not to mention the four kings, the duke Zhongjia's mansion monopolizes the two dukes and is the first of the lords, which shows its power back then.

Although today's Jia Mansion can transfer the position of the Jingying Jiedushi, manipulate the official position of a local magistrate, etc., in the eyes of ordinary people, it has great power, and Jinling children can recite jingles from the four major families.

But compared to the past, I don't know how much I have fallen behind. Only I know my own difficulties.

And these founding nobles, the maintenance of several generations, naturally have some friendship with each other, and facing the new noble king, these traditional families are more closely connected.

In the original text of the Red Chamber, after Jia She forced the death of the son of the completely dilapidated Shifu, the friendship began to change.

The young King of Beijing came back from the palace, thinking of what the Supreme Emperor seemed to have said, but also seemed to have said nothing.

The face is sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes tangled, sometimes not confused, and sometimes enlightened.

The princess laughed, "This man is so strange that he can have many expressions."

Shui Rong finally calmed down.

"You go to Jia's mansion for a walk."

"For no reason, what am I going to Jia Mansion for?"

"Recently, there have been a lot of memorials to impeach General Jinzhou. I think it's unfair to him. I heard that the third lady of Jia's mansion is betrothed to this person. Go and meet this lady."

The princess understood, she pursed her lips, with worry on her face.

"Don't think too much, everything is up to the Supreme Emperor."

Afterwards, Shui Rong went to look for Shi, the head of the palace.

"Mr. Zeng, the sage said a lot to me today, and I don't understand what it means. Please explain it to me."

Afterwards, Shui Rong said the exact words.

Zeng Xingxing pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at the benefactor.

"My lord, what do you think?"

"What do I think, it's nothing more than what the sage says."
