Chapter 172: Jin State Comes to Peace Talk
Zhao Changqing was really upset that a good court meeting turned out like this.
Everything was so different from what I thought.
I originally thought that there would be a lot of quarrels today. The civil and military officials in the court must have some objections to their authorization of Dongchang to destroy Jiang Wei's family.
But why do you praise yourself for being wise instead?
He thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
In the final analysis, the reason was because I didn't figure it out properly, which led to my own mistake and the killing of a corrupt official who was hated by everyone.
It’s really…
Congested.
Alas, that's all, I'm used to this feeling anyway, so I blame myself for not being fully prepared!
When he was about to retire from the court, Huang Cheng also asked Zhao Changqing if he wanted a new ministerial position. After all, not everyone could fill the vacancy of the ministerial position.
This needs to be decided by His Majesty himself.
Zhao Changqing didn't have the mood to ask about this at that time, so he said, "Let's discuss it later" and withdrew from the court.
Of course, the ministers noticed the unhappy expression of His Majesty the Emperor and discussed the matter together after leaving the court. However, no matter how they discussed it, it was worth drawing a conclusion.
"Our Majesty, I'm afraid today's court meeting has already dug a hole for us to jump into. His purpose is to make us fight for Jiang Wei's injustice, and then find reasons to deal with us."
This conclusion…
I have to say, it is quite similar to what Zhao Changqing thought at the beginning.
Then someone said in response to this conclusion, "In this case, for a long period of time from now on, no matter what policies are involved, we must listen to His Majesty, otherwise, the end will be no different from Jiang Wei.
In the final analysis, Your Majesty still does not trust us veterans who have followed Emperor Renzong and Emperor Ling. Your Majesty established the factory guards to get rid of those who are dissatisfied with Your Majesty and who contradict Your Majesty in every aspect, thereby bringing down the whole court.
They all listen to His Majesty alone.
Your Majesty wants to have 100% control over the government, so we will simply give it to him. Anyway... After your Majesty's military reform, you have the military power, which is no longer what it was like during the Renzong period. At present, we cannot compete with your Majesty."
Everyone thought it over in their minds and felt that what they said was very reasonable, so they secretly warned themselves in their hearts that no matter what policies His Majesty has in the future, they must unconditionally support His Majesty. No matter what, they must not go against His Majesty.
I believe that as time goes by, the barrier between me and others who have followed the Ling Emperor will become smaller and smaller in His Majesty's heart, until His Majesty completely trusts me and others.
In their eyes, military reform means changing the various previous military systems into a legion system.
What kind of emperor dares to do this?!
It would take an emperor from all eternity to dare to do this!
Seeing His Majesty's various actions since he ascended the throne, they seem to have no connection, but in fact they are closely linked, and step by step he has firmly grasped the entire Wei Kingdom in his hands.
Working under such an emperor is both unfortunate and fortunate.
What is Zhao Changqing doing now?
In a daze alone.
At this time, Zhao Gao heard a report from his subordinates, saying that as soon as Jiang Wei died, many families in the capital who had been persecuted by him were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations and were beaming with joy.
I heard that the storytellers in the teahouse began to tell about this incident, saying that His Majesty had just ascended the throne and had not yet established a solid foundation. He battled wits and courage with the traitorous minister of the dynasty, and finally sent people to destroy the traitor's family.
After the novelists' description, the listeners felt as if they were really living in a prosperous age, and in front of them, there was a wise emperor protecting them from the wind and rain.
These are all good things!
Your Majesty's prestige in the eyes of the people is rising infinitely.
We must quickly tell His Majesty the good news.
So Zhao Gao told him what people in the market said about his wisdom.
As a result, Zhao Changqing became even more unhappy.
I feel depressed!
What's going on?
Why did it become like this?
This is not the result you want!
Seeing that Zhao Changqing was a little unhappy and did not respond to him, Zhao Gao felt empty and even a little uncomfortable, so he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Let me ask you, how can I be happy when the mediocre value I most want is gone?
He ignored Zhao Gao and just frowned at him.
This made his heart tighten, and he stood aside knowingly, speechless.
He couldn't understand His Majesty's thoughts.
Shouldn't this be something to be happy about? Why do you think His Majesty's expression is not only not happy, but also a little worried?
It seems that it really complied with that statement.
Not everyone can guess the thoughts of the Eternal Emperor, otherwise, he would not be able to become the Eternal Emperor.
And your Majesty, isn’t he the only emperor through the ages?
There is strategy, forbearance, scheming, wisdom, policies, civil and military skills, all of which are arrogant in the world.
Isn't this kind of emperor the same emperor through the ages?
After a while, Zhuge Liang came to see him.
Zhao Changqing just said one word with dull eyes, "Xuan."
Mi Yue was by his side and had been serving him wholeheartedly, but he remained unmoved.
After Zhuge Liang arrived, he bowed to Zhao Changqing and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin envoy has arrived at the border of Qingzhou and will probably arrive later in the day."
Zhao Changqing didn't respond, and stared at the coffee table in front of him with blank eyes.
Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Qingzhi will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow."
Zhao Changqing is still like this.
Zhuge Liang didn't know why and asked Zhao Gao in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is this..."
Zhao Gao shook his head and did not dare to speak.
"His Majesty?"
Zhuge Liang asked again.
Zhao Changqing still refused to pay attention to him.
There was no other way, so Zhuge Liang had no choice but to mind his own business and said: "Many officials from the border areas have already arrived in the capital. They want to see Your Majesty, but Liang considered that they were tired from traveling and traveling, so he arranged to rest first."
Zhao Changqing is still the same.
Zhuge Liang continued: "The most important thing these days is the matter of the Jin envoys. Their original intention is to give us enough silver to redeem their six border passes. We have already told Honglu Temple to take advantage of the opportunity."
Blackmail them severely.
After all, their current situation is not easy. The war between Jin State and Chu State has not ended yet, and there is an extremely serious internal crisis in Jin State. In a short time, they may not have time to take care of them.
Taking this opportunity, we can take advantage of them. However, Wei Chen also heard about something. It is said that the State of Jin intends to send their princess to marry His Majesty, and she seems to be called Princess Jinyang."
Sudden.
Zhao Changqing became energetic.
Both eyes shine.
"Princess Jinyang?" Zhao Changqing asked, "Are you beautiful?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment and said: "According to rumors, she is said to be the most beautiful princess in the Jin Kingdom. She is only sixteen years old, but it is said that she has been weak and sick since she was a child..."
Zhao Changqing said: "The most beautiful princess in the Jin Kingdom? Frail and sick? Where is Zhu Yanxiuren?"
According to the system, Zhu Yanxiu was also the famous doctor in history that he knew well in his previous life. After systematic operations, the Zhu Yanxiu in his previous life and the current Zhu Yanxiu were perfectly integrated. His medical skills were simply incomparable.
Probably...maybe...
He won't prescribe the wrong medicine again, right?
Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "Doctor Zhu took charge of the imperial hospital after he captured Chang'an, but recently he heard about the outbreak of plague in Shu and went to treat it.
In advance, he handed over the memorial for leaving the capital to His Majesty, and His Majesty said that the memorial that had nothing to do with the factory guards should be handled by Wei Chen himself, so Wei Chen let him go."
Hearing this, Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Tell him that after he is done, he will not be delayed and return to the capital immediately. I will let her treat Princess Jinyang."
Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "I obey the order."
The Kingdom of Wei really needs a queen.
Seeing that His Majesty is happy about this, they, the ministers, will naturally be happy as well.
However, one person showed a painful expression.
That person is Mi Yue.
She was a little heartbroken.
