Chapter 60 Northern Expedition

In the 14th year of Kaitai, Fengtian Temple in Nanjing City.

This Imperial Palace was rebuilt before enthronement. After completion, Wang Meng moved in from the Nanjing government office where he lived for several years.

At the beginning, Wang Meng’s family was a little reluctant, but after living in the new palace, they felt good.

Wang Meng is wearing a black robe and a high crown, sitting on the great hall, and his majesty is getting stronger and stronger.

To the left and right of His Highness were the Martial Lord ministers, and the Crown Prince Wang Yu stood in front of His Highness.

It is a clear signal that Wang Meng has given Wang Yu hands-on contact and government affairs since four years ago.

The rest of the sons, Wang Meng, don’t even think about it.

And Wang Yu lived up to expectations, handling it neatly and neatly, quite like his father.

Wang Meng looked at His Highness’s civil and military affairs. Most of them were his henchmen back then, but after the unification of the world, some of these people are destined to come to his opposite.

Looking at Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Song Lian, Wang Guangyang and the others on the left.

Wang Meng immediately knew that Hu Weiyong and Li Shan had been fighting more and more fiercely over the years.

Among them was Wang Meng’s provocation, and it was more for the interests of the rear.

Don’t look at the fact that both of them are old officials of Huaixi, and they are also fellow villagers in Dingyuan, and they belong to the scribes of the Huaixi Group.

But Taizu said it well: there are no factions in the party, all kinds of strange things!

The Huaixi Group has never been a whole, there are many small factions and small circles.

And the two are prime ministers on the left and right, with different powers and interests, so they are destined to fight.

And even for the position of the prime minister, you have to fight.

The two of them knew in their hearts that if the Prime Minister on the left and right is good to me, Your Majesty will definitely be replaced by a new Prime Minister of the Left and Right.

Of course, the two still have a tacit understanding to jointly suppress the Jiangnan Scribe Group.

Their own Your Majesty somewhat dreaded Huaixi Group, both of them understand in their hearts that all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty are Huaixi, what is the concept?

Even if your own Your Majesty is from Huaixi, it should be considered for Crown Prince.

However, the cooperation is cooperative, but what should be suppressed should still be suppressed. The position of the two people determines that the two must be responsible for the interests of their own faction.

The result is that the two fight more and more fiercely.

After all, Your Majesty supports the interests that the Jiangnan Group has divided, and always finds a way to get it back from elsewhere.

Song Lian and Wang Guangyang are the current leaders of Jiangnan Group, and Tao An, the first-generation leader, has returned home.

The two are Wang Meng crossing the river for the second year.

Wang Guangyang is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the national field, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, government-run industry, etc. Wang Meng attaches great importance to him.

Song Lian is now the Minister of Rites, and is also the Master of Crown Prince, one of Wang Yu’s teachers of classics.

The early morning started soon, and the memorial was presented early.

Wang Meng opened the mouth and said: “Yesterday, Li Xiang wrote the manuscript and said that the issue of the Northern Expedition will be discussed today.”

Hu Weiyong immediately stood up: ” Your Majesty, Shandong suffers from severe drought and consumes a lot of money and food, so it is really powerless to expedition to the north.”

Li Shanchang frowned immediately: “In the past three years, the hydraulic installations improved by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have been popularized in the south of the Yangtze River. The annual income has greatly increased, and Shandong is only a minor disaster, how can the northern expedition not be allowed?”

A middle-aged man behind Hu Weiyong, but Yang Xian, the minister of the household, immediately stood up: “I was about to tell Li Xiang, Last year, although there was a lot of revenue, the consumption was also a lot, especially the consumption of Your Majesty shipbuilding was too high. The number of millions.”

Wang Meng heard someone put the words on him, and immediately opened the mouth and said: “The rest can be in no hurry, but this ship must be built.”

“The three kinds of crops that came from the land of Taixi the year before last were popularized, enough for countless people to live.”

“And there are countless gold and silver in overseas places. The several millions of silver tael that are successively obtained from the large mines are definitely worth opening the sea.”

The man behind Li Shanchang, the Minister of War, Zhu Sheng, stood up again: “What Your Majesty said What’s more, the opening of the sea in these years has added several millions of annual income, I don’t know where these silver taels have gone?”

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce Yang Xian suddenly opened the mouth and said: “These years There are countless water conservancy and civil engineering projects, which naturally consume countless amounts of water. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and the people are grateful to Your Majesty. The subordinates began to discuss.

While talking about the use of military force, he talked about the threat from the north.

Wang Meng in the palace saw the Civilian Court Officials arguing, and it was only funny.

Especially the position of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

He was in charge of logistics back then. Before Wang Meng dispatched troops, he would ask questions repeatedly. Li Shanchang, who had a lot of concerns, became the main supporter of the Northern Expedition today.

In those days, Hu Weiyong, who considered himself to be unparalleled in strategy and battled against the crowd, was elated every time he went on an expedition.

People are destined to change. As for the opinions of the two, it is only because of the position they stand on.

Li Shanchang was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Rites, of which the Ministry of Personnel and War were all his trusted ministers, so from the standpoint of the Northern Expedition, wouldn’t it be as it should be by rights.

Hu Weiyong is in charge of the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Work, and Ministry of Punishment. Although the Ministry of Work is not his party, he is in charge.

And the head of the Ministry of Household is his protégé, an absolute confidant. He definitely stands on internal construction, not a northern expedition.

After a while, the number of people in the Imperial court who joined the debate increased.

Even Song Lian and Wang Guangyang, the two Jiangnan groups, directly joined the war.

One side supports Hu Weiyong, and the other side supports Li Shanchang.

Wang Meng knew what they were thinking, as long as Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong fought harder, they would have the most chances to come to power.

Especially Wang Guangyang, who has seen from the imperial examinations and even the status of craftsmen in recent years that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Ministry of Industry.

If Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang go down alone, his probability of being supported is very high.

The generals headed by Wei Country Gongsun Xiao did not say a word, silently watching the arguments of the civil servants.

The generals who can stay in the top all these years are definitely politically qualified generals.

They know that they must not mix with the civil servants.

Those who dared to interfere were all thrown by Wang Meng to the remote remote areas of the poor mountains.

And Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong are both from Huaixi, they are old brothers, and they don’t want to get involved.

After a long time, I saw that the scene was a little uncontrollable, and it was about to fight again.

It should be known that these Huaixi scribes still prefer hands-on, especially when they are too noisy.

Wang Meng suddenly coughed: “Okay! What a formality!”

Wang Meng glanced at Sun Xiao: “Mr. Wei Country, tell me what you think.”

p>

The silent Sun Xiao immediately opened the mouth and said: “Qin Country is stationed in the northern Xinjiang all the year round. Rarely seen, if he can wipe out Mengyuan, he can also let me wait for my brother to reunite.”

Wang Meng was silent for a while when he heard the words.

Qin Country is naturally Zhou Yong. Since Mongolia retreated to Mobei, he has been leading 50,000 troops to be stationed in the frontier, which is indeed rarely seen.

Wang Meng looked towards Wang Yu: “Crown Prince, what do you think?”

Wang Yu bowed respectfully, opened the mouth and said: “There is a Yanshan area in the late Northern Song Dynasty. After two years of learning from the past, Erchen still thinks that the northern expedition should be carried out to eliminate Beiyuan as soon as possible.”

“Qin Country stays in the northern Xinjiang all the year round, the house is cold and quiet all the year round, and the Lantern Festival is rarely reunited every year. After all, it’s not right.”

Sun Xiao heard this and looked at Wang Yu with some emotion.

Wang Meng heard the words, laughed: “Good boy, considerate enough for your old Mount Tai!”

“Okay, then go north, wait until Qin Country returns to Beijing, We will decree that you and Yuaner get married.”

Zhou Yong’s daughter Zhou Yuan is one year younger than Wang Yu, and the two are dolls, so it is said that Zhou Yong is Wang Yu’s old Mount Tai .

With Wang Meng’s words, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang didn’t dare to argue any more. This time, Li Shanchang won.

But the two of them also saw that this was your own Your Majesty paving the way for the Crown Prince, and was recognized by the military commanders.

Especially after Qin Country returned to Beijing, it was Crown Prince’s Mount Tai, and it was Crown Prince’s absolute help.
