Although Xie Jin was drunk, when Xia Xun tugged his sleeves and looked at him, he knew that they had something to discuss, so he hurriedly moved closer to Xia Xun's seat.【】
At this time, silk and bamboo music played behind the screen, singing and dancing continued in the hall, the clouds rolled in the broad sleeves, and the beauties were like butterflies. During the banquet, cups were exchanged, cups were pushed and cups were exchanged, and the adults each found someone to drink with. Xia Xun and Xie Jin, one smiled and whispered, the other drunk
However, if you listen, everyone is talking normally. No one can hear what they are saying, let alone regard it as a private meeting between the two.
Xia Xun said: "Gentleman, the Annan army is on the rise again. It is inevitable to send troops to suppress it, but who leads the army is crucial. This is not related to the victory or defeat in the battlefield of Annan, but to the direction of the political situation of the court..."
Before Xia Xun finished speaking, Xie Jin smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "I knew that the Duke of the country was looking for me for more than just drinking. I have also thought about this matter carefully, leaving Zhang Fu who has already conquered Annan.
General, but did not send troops immediately, it shows that the emperor is still very interested in the Han king leading the army. This matter does not mean that he must start from the emperor."
Xia Xun was slightly surprised. When he answered Jin again, although his face was slightly drunk, his eyes were clear and he couldn't help but smile happily. After all, his political partner has become the chief minister of the cabinet. Maybe he is a little arrogant because of his talent. I don't quite understand.
There is a principle of dealing with people, but there is still wisdom and vision in this officialdom. There is no need to waste your words when talking to such a person. Xia Xun said bluntly: "Well, that's the principle. What does the gentleman have to say?"
Xie Jin said: "The emperor must know that after successive wars, the national economy and people's livelihood have become difficult. This is easy to handle. I am the first to review the memorials sent from various places. When the time comes, I will focus on reviewing the memorials in this regard.
Submit it to the emperor for reading. At the same time... the king of Han is arrogant and domineering and has done many illegal things. The emperor must know this. The emperor is disgusted with him and will naturally not condone him anymore."
Xia Xun said happily: "That's great. That's what I mean. Since the gentry has everything in mind, I feel relieved. On my side, I will also find someone to beat the drum and blow the wind to encourage a group of people to cause trouble for the King of Han. On the gentry's side,
, find a few capable candidates, and ask them to deal with the King of Han’s illegal affairs..."
Before Xia Xun finished speaking, Xie Jin said: "Why be so roundabout? I'll just tell the emperor myself."
Xia Xun was startled and said hurriedly: "Improper sir, you are now the chief minister of the cabinet. How can you be too willful in every move you make? With your current status, you cannot be in the forefront of everything and hide behind the scenes. If things don't work out, you can do it yourself."
You can choose another opportunity. Leave no room for anything and charge forward. If you make a mistake, how can you advance or retreat? You are a close minister of the emperor. If there is a rift due to this, it is no more rare than ordinary people to see the emperor once. You have to go back and forth every day and treat each other.
If you are tired of it, why don’t you leave Shu..."
Xie Jin chuckled and said: "The noble gentleman understands the Duke's concern. Then... just follow what the Duke said."
Xie Jin said this, but he disagreed with it in his heart. He was the chief minister of the dynasty and a great contributor to the establishment of the crown prince. The current emperor even relied on him as his arm. He once said to people, "The country cannot live without me for a day.
"I can't live without solutions for a day." The emperor relies on you so much, what can't he do to remonstrate with the emperor openly and honestly? Thanks to the auxiliary prince who broke into the dragon's pond and tiger's den in the past, like Zhao Zilong in front of the Changban slope, he is so courageous now
But it's getting smaller and smaller.
When Xia Xun saw that he agreed, he felt relieved and said: "The King of Han wants to seize military power. Of course, we must find a way to solve it. The country's long-term plan must be planned earlier so that the problem does not come to an end. I just realized that a lot of things have been done."
It’s useless. Annan is no better than our original land, with twists and turns of mountains and rivers, and all the villages are hidden in jungles and valleys, making it difficult to rule.
With this expedition, it is difficult to eradicate the source of the chaos. If someone with some intentions instigates it, it will not take long for chaos to arise again. It is too heavy a burden for our imperial army to be permanently stationed there. Once we withdraw, the demons and monsters will jump out one after another, and the local people will lean towards them.
Without a large army to suppress it, it would soon become a prairie fire again. I'm afraid this battle will be fought.
Sir, you are the chief minister of the cabinet. You must have this preparation in mind. When it comes to the military, political, economic and other policies of the imperial court involving Annan, you can take precautions and formulate corresponding policies based on the estimation of the future situation. In this way
, the imperial court will reduce a lot of unnecessary losses and consumption."
Xie Jin nodded and said: "Well, the Duke has always opposed the idea of Annan as an inner county and directly controlled it. But after the imperial court made Annan an inner county, the money was spent like water, and casualties were reported to the Ministry of War and the Inspectorate every day.
Many public officials turned a blind eye and just praised and preached, saying that the emperor's move was directly following the Han and Tang Dynasties, conquering all barbarians and sweeping across all wastes. The emperor was also very happy about this. The prince should also pay attention to his words and deeds, and don't shout
These pens catch the Duke's shortcomings and drown people with their saliva."
Xia Xun sneered: "It was not his family that died, it was not his stomach that was hungry, it was not his servitude that was levied, and it was not his children that were begging on the street. He was naturally generous to others and talked about military affairs on paper. He was impassioned and righteous.
His career is simply embarrassing. When he is really asked to make some sacrifices, he can run away faster than a rabbit. These prodigal sons who don’t know how to be rich and don’t know the price of food and rice. I don’t have a permanent position in the government, so I really don’t care about their impeachment.
, let them make noise”
"Why did the Duke and the gentry have such a congenial conversation? Hahaha, I would like to give you a drink, Mr. Hu."
Huang Zhen and Zhang Xitong didn't want to pester Hu Guang for too long. Hu Guang came back to his senses and saw that Jin and Xia Xun were chatting happily. He couldn't help but came over with a glass of wine. Xia Xun hurriedly stopped talking and smiled.
Raise the cup.
※※※※※※※
Ji Gang had one foot on the stool, with a plate of salted soybeans and a pot of soju in front of him. He threw a soybean into his mouth, took a sip of the soju, and let the hot taste linger in his mouth for a long time before he tilted his neck and swallowed.
Let the tongue of fire burn down your throat and into your heart.
This was a habit he developed when he was in his hometown in Shandong. Not long after he was kicked out of the university, life was tight, and this was his favorite pastime. He often had a plate of salted beans like this in a tavern.
, a pot of wine, sitting in an inconspicuous corner and soaking for an afternoon. Ever since he rose to great heights and became the powerful Lord Ji Zangji, he has rarely tasted this kind of loneliness again, except when he was very nervous.
when.
"What is Liu Yujue doing?"
Ji Gang asked coldly. Ji Younan, who returned to North Town from Jinyi South Town to serve as a Qianhu household, said hurriedly: "Sir, as soon as he returned to Jinyiwei, he kicked out all the people we promoted. The only one who stayed was Eunuch Zheng's stepson.
.The hundreds of households we had demoted were all re-promoted by him, and he selected one named Zhu Junnan and the other named Yin Hua to take over Chen Dong Ye'an's seat. Now, he is busy inspecting the craftsman camp.
, inspecting firearms. I heard that he is going back to Jinan in a few days."
Ji Gang gritted his teeth and smiled: "Keep an eye on him, just hold his pigtails for me, hum."
He threw a soybean into his mouth, chewed it carefully for a while, and then asked, "What is Sehazhi doing?"
Zhu Tu, the boss of the Eight King Kongs, smiled bitterly and said: "That thief, since he entered our Jinyi Guard, he has a nose that is not a nose or an eye, and he doesn't care about anything. He regards our Jinyi Guard as an ordinary guard. Ordinary
The commander of the guard station is responsible for training and military discipline. This guy is responsible for training and military discipline every day. We don't have to go to war, but he takes turns transferring the soldiers of our Jinyi Guards to practice this and that, and the soldiers are so good that they are dying.
.
He also always said that our Jinyi Guards are not good at this or that. He mentioned Yang Xu at every turn and almost worshiped him as a god. He also specially asked people to write down several important things that Yang Xu had done in that year in detail and asked the soldiers to read them.
Thinking and studying, he is damn more pious than a scholar worshiping Saint Confucius. Not to mention, he also violated military discipline, was disheveled, behaved inappropriately, was late for breakfast, and drank during the night... As long as he was asked to do it once,
It's just a whipping, which makes Wei Li feel like he's in a state of panic."
Ji Gang snorted and said: "Our people are indeed a bit embarrassed now. Soldiers don't look like soldiers, but more like bandits. It's not necessarily wrong for me and him to torment like this."
Ji Gang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said: "This man is a soldier of the emperor. He has been with the emperor longer than me. He is not a monk. As long as he doesn't interfere with my important affairs, let him go. Don't offend him."
, this kind of bastard can do any goddamn thing."
The Eight Great Vajras agreed with a grimace.
Ji Gang asked again: "What are Mu En, Chen Dong, and Ye An doing?"
Zhong Canghai said: "In response to your Majesty's request, our agents in Dongchang reported that Mu En, Chen Dong, and Ye An are now following the same pattern as a cat. They will check whatever we usually check. A few days ago, we sent someone to keep an eye on Chen Dong.
Several spies from Ying discovered that someone was watching them furtively, and they thought they were Chen Ying's people. They planned to lure them to a secluded area and kill them, but they ended up fighting them until they were both injured and found out that they were from Dongchang.
In addition, yesterday, the two captains we sent to the Ministry of Justice to hear the trial and the Dongchang fan rushed to file first. As a result, they had a disagreement and got into a fight. They knocked over the flag and the ink splashed on Song Liyi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Face, Song Shangshu was so angry that he dragged everyone on both sides down and beat him up."
Ji Gang slammed the table angrily and shouted: "His"
Ji Gang suddenly felt a headache, as if he had become the red boy who mistakenly sat on the Guanyin lotus platform, and was tied up in a tight hoop.
His head ached, and his waist was sore. He recently took a pair of twins as concubines, and a pair of sisters were waiting on him in the bed, which was very interesting. In addition, after Yu Jian's incident, everything went wrong for him.
, I had to keep my tail between my legs, avoid the limelight first, and have nothing to do. I had sex more frequently than before, and I had too much sex, and my body was a little overwhelmed.
He put his hands on his hips and sulked for a while, then asked angrily: "Where is Yang Xu, what is he doing?"
The Eight Great Vajras, you and me, me and you, finally Yuji Younan replied: "Sir, Yang Xu... didn't do anything."
Ji Gang said angrily: "You have to do something if you haven't done anything, right?"
Ji Younan swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile: "He... since he returned to Beijing, he has been accompanying his wife and children every day, and went out to banquets and drinks. The cook who was bribed by us said that when their master occasionally has guests, they meet in the living room.
, hosted banquets, and never went to the study to discuss matters. They also said that their master indulged in sensuality, and sometimes had to sleep with three concubines. When he woke up the next morning, he was still very energetic. The kitchen was once ordered by the wife,
I made the ginseng and turtle soup every day. I thought it was for their master, but later I found out that it was because the ladies couldn't bear it and suffered from backache and body fatigue, so..."
Ji Gang stiffened his neck and subconsciously retorted: "Bah, how can he be so good? Just blow it off. Is this cook you bought with a lot of money reliable?"
"Um?"
The Eight Great Vajras all looked at Ji Gang in surprise, wondering why he reacted so violently to this incident.
Ji Gang's old face turned red and he said sarcastically: "Just ask about boring things."
Gao Xiang said calmly: "It's the master's order, no matter how big or small it is, even what time he gets up and what time he goes to the toilet, I have to find out carefully..."
Ji Gang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I understand. Back then we won a round and drove Liu Yujue out of Nanzhen. The Jin Yiwei army became our world. Now Yang Xu has pulled back the round and not only regained Nanzhen
The town, under my nose, let some bad guy make trouble. That's all. The emperor actually set up another Dongchang. Although the people in the Dongchang are all people who came out of our Jinyiwei, the power of punishment and prison is still the same.
It's in our hands, I'm afraid it will last forever..."
The more Ji Gang thought about it, the more troubled he became. He said in a deep voice: "The current situation is not good for us. You all should be calm and go down. Xiao Ji will stay."
Ji Younan proudly watched several colleagues leave, and hurriedly approached Ji Gang attentively. Ji Gang said solemnly: "There are four walls of wine, sex, and wealth, and everyone hides inside them. Even though Mu En is an eunuch, he must have some good points. Give it to me
Inquire carefully and find out how to win over this person. As long as we bring Dongchang over, we can win the game. One Liu Yujue and one Sai Hazhi cannot hold up a big scene."
Ji Younan responded in a deep voice: "Yes"
Ji Gang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "The King of Han and Yang Xuzheng are at loggerheads over the matter of taking command and sending troops. Please pay more attention to this matter and always pay attention to the development of the situation. We Jin Yiwei can't get involved in the affairs of the government, but no
Look for opportunities to help the King of Han"
Ji Younan said in surprise: "Sir, isn't the King of Han... our enemy? Why do you still need to..."
Ji Gang glanced sideways, and Ji Younan immediately stopped. Ji Gang said: "This political struggle is blood, conspiracy, strangulation, life and death, and a cruel battlefield where every effort is made. Although the King of Han is our enemy, they are here now.
Only then can our position be stable.”
Ji Younan suddenly realized and said with admiration: "I understand, I understand."
Ji Gang's eyes were deep and he said in a low voice: "The king is standing high like a crouching tiger, and the ministers are circling like eagles. Who is that rabbit? Do you think I am a little white rabbit? A rabbit will bite when it is anxious."
p: Little White Rabbit asks for carrots, Guan Guan asks for monthly tickets and recommended votes.
