In fact, Emperor Yongxi didn't pay much attention to this matter. It was just a matter of trash talk between the two parties. In fact, the Dukes in the court didn't pay much attention to it either.
So now Jia Jing's jokes have almost begun, nothing more than the stories that the young Han general and the foreign princess had to tell, the stories of our generals who visited the enemy princess at night, and how they captured their father-in-law alive because of love and hatred.
Such heroic deeds...
Jia Jing's face turned dark after hearing this. Don't think that men don't gossip anymore. Watching and joining in the fun is simply a fine tradition that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the court, including the old and new parties, the founding fathers and the ministers of Hong Zhi, all looked at Jia Jing with a mocking look on their faces for fun.
Even Emperor Yongxi rarely put down his character in the city and made a few funny remarks. Jia Jing said that these old men were not shy, so she cupped her hands and stood back with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Li Xiangping, a shameless old man, chuckled and said to Jia Jing: "It's so good to be young! When I went to war with the Supreme Emperor, I also made a lot of love."
Everyone's lips twitched when they heard this. You look like a skinny monkey. No matter how blind this Mongolian girl is, she won't be able to look down on you!
Fortunately, Li Xiangping was self-aware and didn't brag too hard: "It's just that he is not as good as the Jia boy. He looks like a girl, but he just wants to please me? Tsk tsk, if I had known this, it would be better."
If we just send the boys from the Jia family to get married, wouldn’t it be possible to resolve the Sanshan Fort issue without any bloodshed?”
When Jia Jing heard this, she sneered and said, "You always hope that I will be the prince's consort for the rest of my life and never come back before I agree with you?" Li Xiangping laughed loudly when he heard this. Nonsense, it would be better for you to die on the grassland!
Jia Jing smiled half-heartedly and said, "You have quite a few granddaughters. If you give me one, I can take a trip to the grassland."
Li Xiangping laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Forget it! I was just joking, but you are going to make me bleed! If I really want to give you a granddaughter, will I be heartbroken to death?"
In fact, Li Xiangping hopes that Jia Jing will marry his granddaughter, but Li Xiangping knows in his heart that it is taboo in the Tian family. Furthermore, he has clearly seen that Jia Jing, a little bastard, is ruthless! He really may not be able to get away with a granddaughter.
Stop him!
Jia Jing sneered, then cupped her hands to Emperor Yongxi and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know this Princess Baoyin, let alone anything sexy. I guess it's the prevarication of this so-called Princess Baoyin.
Since she has refused to surrender, I would like to ask the Dukes of Gungun to discuss the matter in a long-term manner!"
What Jia Jing meant was that you shameless young people gossiping about me, hurry up and get down to business!
Chen Xing stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter does not need to be discussed again in a short time. Even if the so-called Baoyin Duolan Khan refuses to surrender, Wala will not be able to deal with Dayan in a short time."
It poses a threat again, so the grassland matter can be postponed."
Emperor Yongxi also nodded when he heard this, and Jia Jing frowned slightly. He wanted to solve the matter on the grassland once and for all.
But what Chen Xing said is correct, not to mention that at this time, Emperor Yongxi was actually more concerned about not expanding the territory, but how to make Dayan internally richer and stronger.
Today's Dayan seems to be on the verge of prosperity, but in fact, the internal turmoil is still too careless.
The New Deal is meant to break the already solidified class interests in order to facilitate the redistribution of social resources, which will inevitably touch the interests of existing classes.
So at this time, these people have not yet carried out the backlash. Once the backlash occurred, Emperor Yongxi would be full of bad debts!
Jia Jing was very clear about Chen Xing's purpose of standing up. Chen Xing really urged him to speed up the military reform in the army. Perhaps he saw that the New Deal in several other departments was in full swing, but his own Ministry of War was always tepid.
That's all.
In the past, Chen Xing could still sit still, but now that he holds Jia Jing's Sword of Shang Fang, if Chen Xing still doesn't want to make progress, then he is really heartless.
Not only Jia Jing saw it, but most of Hong Zhi's ministers also saw it, so they were much more anxious than they looked at this time!
The Duke of Qi in Song Qing Dynasty has begun to act badly. He has not seen any visitors since he asked for leave. Duke Cheng Li Xiangping, an old fox, only cares about himself. Now it is estimated that only Duke Wu Kui of Jing can stop Jia Jing!
Emperor Yongxi seemed to have finally remembered something and said to Jia Jing and Wu Kui: "The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army will continue to carry out the deployment and defense work on the nine sides, and it will be completed within these three months. Do you understand?"
Jia Jing and Wu Kui came out at the same time and clasped their fists and said: "I obey the order!" Emperor Yongxi nodded, then looked at the crowd and said: "If you have anything to do, report it early!"
Shangguan Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is also the matter of Yangzhou Prefecture students gathering to make trouble. Jiangnan Governor Zhong Chao reported it to the police. All the students involved have been brought to justice. However, the matter involved a wide range of things. The Jiangnan Governor did not dare to make a private decision, so he reported it to the police.
The imperial court, please make a decision!"
Emperor Yongxi said in a deep voice: "There is absolutely no reason to tolerate this matter! Send an order to Zhong Chao and ask him to make a strict and serious decision on this matter!"
As soon as this statement came out, officials from the old party stood up and objected: "I ask your Majesty to take back your order! The students from Yangzhou Prefecture gathered to cause trouble because the salt policy involved in the New Deal was too impatient and harsh, and the people of the two rivers and Huaihe Rivers could not bear the disturbance.
It is excusable to cause students to plead for orders for the people, and it is really not appropriate to severely punish them! I ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision!"
A New Party official stood up after hearing this and said: "I don't know, storming the palace of the Salt Patrol Officer of Jiangsu and Huaihe River sent by the imperial court can be regarded as asking for orders for the people? Which people are you asking for? I'm afraid it's for the salt merchants.
?”
The old party officials jumped out as if their tails had been stepped on: "That's ridiculous! Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are all citizens of the emperor, so don't salt merchants count as citizens? What's more, such an important matter as the salt administration of the Huaihe River is not important.
Can you take action easily?"
"If gathering a crowd privately and storming the official residence can be forgiven, I don't know what else can't be forgiven! Is it tolerable, or is it unbearable?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If the New Deal had not been too harsh, how could it have caused such a disaster? Regarding the salt policy, any slightest move would be a landslide and a tsunami! The students in Yangzhou Prefecture also knew this!
Will use such means to attract the attention of the court!"
"The imperial court continues to implement new laws. Today it is the scholars who are making trouble, but tomorrow it may be the common people!"
"Fart! The imperial court has its own laws! If everything that you don't like is decided by the common people and scholars, where are the imperial laws and regulations? Where is the general code? Only the common people are ignorant, so we are the herdsmen of Daitian! Everything is decided by the common people and scholars, what do you want the court to do? ?What do you want all the adults here to do?"
Jia Jing closed her eyes and ignored the quarrel between these people. This matter was not suitable for him to intervene. Everyone knew that Lin Ruhai, the salt inspector of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, was his uncle and had a close relationship with the Ningguo Mansion. In addition, Jia Jing was originally a Military generals are not allowed to interfere in politics at will, so Jia Jing just listened silently.
Wu Kui on the side sneered: "Why don't Ninghou go up and say a few words of justice? Is this matter all because the students of Yangzhou Prefecture are too radical? They rushed into the residence of an important official of the imperial court. Mr. Lin Ruhai, the salt censor of the Lianghuai River Patrol, is Angel! These southern barbarians don’t know the power of the imperial court, what will they do if they hurt Lord Lin?”
Jia Jing opened her eyes, looked back at Wu Kui, and said expressionlessly: "If the Duke of Jing wants to interfere in politics, he might as well go up and speak fair words. What's the point of speaking down below? All civil and military officials can speak freely about government affairs!"
Wu Kui's face darkened and the corner of his mouth twitched. Lin En, the Marquis of Xuanning behind Jia Jing, laughed out loud, speaking so freely...
Duke Cheng Li Xiangping turned his head and glanced at Duke Wu Kui of Jing State, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, they literati are quarreling with them, they are so upset, why should we interrupt? There will be more things to do by then!"
Jia Jing snorted twice, and Emperor Yongxi above looked at the quarrel with an expressionless face. When he saw the row of generals, he realized that Jia Jing and others were also talking about something, so he thought for a while and said: "Ninghou has something to say?" what idea?"
Everyone in the court fell silent and looked at Jia Jing, and the old party secretly held their breath and prepared to criticize General Jia Jing for interfering in politics.
Although the new party members knew that Jia Jing would definitely speak to Lin Ruhai, they still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Emperor Yongxi questioning Jia Jing about politics.
After all, he is a military commander. Although he is very talented, when it comes to government affairs, civil servants still hope that military commanders can shut up...
Jia Jing was a little surprised to be named, but she still stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am not familiar with government affairs and have no ideas."
Emperor Yongxi said: "I tell you to just say what you think." Jia Jing hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Your Majesty, I think that what you just said is reasonable."
Emperor Yongxi said expressionlessly: "How do you say that?" Jia Jing said: "It is better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against Sichuan, let alone a scholar. I have been a scholar, so I naturally know the virtues of these scholars. If this matter is handled If it is too harsh, I'm afraid... it will lead to criticism."
The officials were a little surprised that Jia Jing actually spoke to the old party, but what he said made some sense, so they held their thoughts and said nothing. Except for the young officials of the new party who couldn't hold themselves back, the other officials didn't say anything.
Jia Jing continued: "Although it is said that everything in the world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the ministers of the king, but the imperial court has a weak control over the land south of the Yangtze River. If it is not handled properly, it may cause speculation among the people. It would inevitably lower the imperial court’s popularity among the people in Jiangnan.”
"The implementation of the New Deal mainly focuses on enriching and strengthening the people, and finally promotes it based on the support of the people. If the people's support is lost, I am afraid that the New Deal, which is already difficult to implement in Jiangnan, will be even worse."
As soon as he said this, Shangguan Yi and others also nodded secretly. What Jia Jing said made sense. Their headaches were caused by this.
It is easy for the people to dramatize or over-speculate on some things to complicate some simple things and conspiracy theories. No matter how the court solves or clarifies, it will not be able to shake the view that the people are willing to believe.
People don't like the truth, people only like the kind of truth they like...
Emperor Yongxi nodded. He and the powerful leaders of the old and new parties could think of these things. All he wanted was a solution, so he said expressionlessly: "Continue."
Jia Jing nodded and said: "However, if we are not strict, I am afraid it will reduce the majesty of the imperial court. If important officials of the imperial court dare to rush into the palace at will, I am afraid that in the future they will become more lawless and ignorant of the power of God!"
"As a result, the increasingly rampant arrogance and violation of laws and disciplines are also a blow that the court cannot bear. This matter is very difficult. I think this is the reason why the Jiangnan governor cannot handle the matter alone."
Emperor Yongxi said expressionlessly: "How do you think we should deal with it?" Jia Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know much about government affairs, but I am just trying to make a fool of myself. I think that I can kill chickens to scare monkeys, and select a few to punish them severely. As for those who are just coerced by the imperial court, maybe
You can be more open-minded."
Jia Jing quickly expressed his position: "However, these are my naive thoughts. From the perspective of a military commander, I still hope that your majesty can mobilize the Jiangnan camp to control Yangzhou first, to prevent some people with ulterior motives from not recognizing the promotion and doing the following.
Such treacherous and unethical things."
When all the civil and military officials heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched. Looking at Jia Jing's calm expression, they were all frightened. What a cruel person!
They just want to find some trouble for your uncle and gather some scholars to make a fuss to show their stance. You actually want to mobilize the Jiangnan Camp to surround Yangzhou City?
If Yangzhou is really besieged by the Jiangnan camp, then the salt merchants in Yangzhou City will really not be able to sleep!
Emperor Yongxi also twitched the corner of his mouth, then waved his hand and said: "What I said before was a bit interesting, but then I started to be confused again!"
Jia Jing bowed and said: "As a military general, I naturally do everything based on maintaining stability. Nipping in the bud all things that may threaten the lives and property of the people and the court is something I need to consider. As for how to calm the people?
Regarding the things that civil servants have to consider, I have always believed that civil and military officials should go their own way and all officials should perform their duties, so that the court can operate better."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Emperor Yongxi waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go back!" Jia Jing bowed and stood back expressionlessly. Li Xiangping smiled and said: "Boy,
It’s so interesting!”
Jia Jing ignored him. Jia Jing came out and said a lot of things. In fact, she was just trying to make trouble and didn't offer any useful suggestions at all. But it just made people feel that Jia Jing was not avoiding taboos or being perfunctory.
Emperor Yongxi, who originally had some intention of testing Jia Jing, also gave up his intention. Since he had this intention, Emperor Yongxi did not bother to provoke him.
So Emperor Yongxi thought for a while and then said: "Send an order to Zhong Chao, ordering him to transfer all the arrested scholars to Yangzhou Yanzheng Yamen and hand them over to Lin Ruhai for personal disposal!"
The civil and military officials did not dare to say anything. Shangguan Yi bowed and said yes, then he dealt with some minor matters and then withdrew from the court.
Jia Jing was actually very concerned about Lin Ruhai, and Emperor Yongxi's handling method was also very clever. He directly handed over the matter to Lin Ruhai, so that the civil and military officials in the court had nothing to say. After all, Lin Ruhai was the only victim of this incident.
What's more, Emperor Yongxi actually knew Lin Ruhai very well. Lin Ruhai was able to control the salt administration of the two rivers and Huaihe Rivers and put those cunning salt merchants to death, which proved that Lin Ruhai was not an emotional person.
In addition, Yangzhou is Lin Ruhai's territory after all. Lin Ruhai has been entrenched in Yangzhou for so many years, fought wits and courage with the salt merchants and finally took control of the entire Yangzhou. Lin Ruhai is definitely a local snake who knows the ins and outs.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai will definitely choose the best solution according to the actual situation when dealing with this matter, and there is no need for the court to intervene in this matter!
Jia Jing once again appreciated Emperor Yongxi's superb methods, and at the same time, she was eager to leave the palace and informed Lin Ruhai of the matter from the Qiankun Gua to make early preparations.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the palace, he saw Li Ming standing outside for some time, looking around as if he was really waiting for someone.
Jia Jing and Li Xiangping walked out together. Li Xiangping teased Jia Jing by talking rubbish from time to time, but Jia Jing responded with a smile.
When Li Ming saw Jia Jing, he was so surprised that he wanted to step forward. Unexpectedly, he immediately saw Li Xiangping next to Jia Jing. He immediately corrected his attitude and even straightened his clothes.
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment when she saw Li Ming and said, "Why are you here?" Unexpectedly, Li Ming didn't stick to it like a dog-skin plaster this time. Instead, he bowed to Li Xiangping with a gentle look and said, "I've seen you before."
grandfather."
Jia Jing suddenly looked like she was meeting Li Ming for the first time, her face was full of black question marks, and Li Xiangping, the old bastard, seemed to be a different person.
He looked at Li Ming with a smile and said, "Oh, it's His Royal Highness the King of Yue. I haven't seen you for a while, so why don't you come to our house to be naughty?"
A kind look made Jia Jing think that the two people who were following him were two people. Li Ming scratched his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa, just call me Xiaoqi. My mother and relatives all call me that."
!”
Li Xiangping nodded kindly and said, "Do you have something to do with Brother Jing? I won't bother you." Li Ming quickly giggled and said, "It's nothing, I'll take you back first."
Li Xiangping smiled and waved his hands and said: "Forget it, forget it. You young people have to talk in advance, so I won't disturb you old man. Remember to come to my house to have fun when you have time! Yun'er hasn't gone out for a long time."
Li Ming immediately nodded excitedly to express that he understood. He nodded and bowed his head to see Li Xiangping off. After Li Xiangping had left for a long time, Li Ming was still there looking at Silly Le from a distance.
Afterwards, it was quiet until he noticed that Jia Jing was looking at him with a ridiculous expression. Li Ming glanced at Li Xiangping's back and said, "What's wrong, brother?"
Jia Jing scolded: "What did you say? Can you be a little more profound! You are the prince!" Li Ming chuckled, scratched his head and said: "The prince also has to marry a wife...
..."
Jia Jing wordlessly waved away Li Ming's hand grabbing her sleeve and said, "You think about your wife every day! You're a worthless thing!"
Li Ming chuckled and said: "That's a little worse than you, second brother. Second brother, you've already gotten into me!"
Li Ming and others also wore walking pythons. Only the prince and the brothers of Emperor Yongxi wore sitting pythons. Therefore, Jia Jing, who was wearing a scarlet walking python robe, and Li Ming, who was wearing a dark purple walking python, were standing together.
If you didn’t know better, you might actually think of the two as brothers!
