After hearing what Meng Ming said, the Supreme Emperor looked very angry. In fact, he had just received a secret report and knew the situation in the palace. All the civil and military officials in the palace. Only Jia Ke and Meng Ming had always supported him, and the others were not
To be a coward without saying a word is to completely surrender to the emperor.
What hurt him the most was the betrayal of King Beijing. He originally wanted him to inherit his father's legacy and be in charge of the imperial army. Unexpectedly, he was such a white-eyed wolf. He made an exception and let him inherit the throne. In the end, he actually betrayed him and joined the emperor's side.
.
The Supreme Emperor has decided to cut the knot quickly and no longer play tricks with these people. He must use strong strength to subdue all those who oppose him.
The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor standing next to him with his deep eyes. This moment made the Emperor tremble all over with fear. He thought that the Supreme Emperor was going to depose him.
But it's also his fault that he caused too much trouble during this period. Although this emperor has some abilities, if he can survive the death of the Supreme Emperor and take control of the real power, he can be regarded as a promising leader. But it's a pity that his character is too strong and he doesn't know how to tolerate it.
He didn't understand the current situation clearly.
The Supreme Emperor seemed to be very angry. He stood up suddenly and pushed everything on the imperial desk to the ground. He was so frightened that the civil and military officials in the court were as silent as a chill.
After the Supreme Emperor finished venting his anger, he sat back on the throne and directly issued an edict: "From now on, King Beijing will think about it at home and will never participate in court affairs without my will."
King Beijing hurriedly left his duties and knelt down on the ground, thanking the Supreme Emperor for his kindness. People who didn't know thought he had received many rewards.
However, in Jia Ke's view, King Beijing was indeed rewarded by the Supreme Emperor. It is also because the Supreme Emperor has become soft-hearted now that he is old. It seems that if he were young, King Beijing would definitely be given death.
After the Supreme Emperor finished handling the matter, he glared at Lei Ying again. Lei Ying was expressionless now, waiting for the final judgment. He was not afraid now because he thought what he did was right. If he didn't correct it,
The military strength of the border court will be eroded.
But the Emperor turned his head away after giving Lei Ying a fierce look. This was because the Emperor knew that Lei Ying was a capable man. He was probably the only one who knew military matters among the civil servants, and his loyalty to the court was not necessary.
He who talks too much must be the pillar of the imperial court in the future. He cannot lose a loyal minister for the country because of his temporary selfishness. It is better to let him hang out in the air first and leave it to the emperor after his death in the future.
The Supreme Emperor calmed down his mood, then stood up and walked to the imperial cabinet. He put his hands behind his back and said to the people below: "Jiubian really needs to be reorganized. Who did you discuss just now to let him go?"
When Lei Ying saw the Emperor asking this question, he thought that the Emperor still cared about the emperor's face, so he compromised with the emperor, so his eyes brightened.
The emperor standing on the imperial steps was also very excited at this time. He thought that the Supreme Emperor had lost his ambitions and wanted to completely hand over the military power to him, and then retire to the harem to retire.
But they all guessed wrong. As long as the Lion King is not defeated, he will never give up his dominance, and the same goes for the current Supreme Emperor.
Lei Ying, as the initiator of this incident, immediately stood up and said: "I am going to ask Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, to inspect the nine sides. Please give me the emperor's permission."
The Supreme Emperor stood there and thought about it, and he had no choice but to let him go. Prince Teng had been in the army for a long time and was very aware of the things in the army. Moreover, he was from the Xungui Group and he also knew the specific situation of Jiubian.
.Don’t be like a lunatic who just goes out of his way to rectify the situation. I’m afraid it will trigger a mutiny.
The Supreme Emperor had actually known about the shortcomings of Jiubian for a long time, but he did not dare to take action to rectify it, because these arrogant and powerful generals were all running out of food. If they were not allowed to think of ways to spend their free time, they would all have been killed.
There was a mutiny. That is to say, the emperor and Lei Ying, one of them did not understand the situation, and the other, although he understood the situation, was too upright and insisted on rectifying the situation, but did not know the danger involved. A slight touch may bring the world back to its original state.
There was turmoil.
After thinking about this, the Supreme Emperor said to the people below: "Is Prince Teng here? Come forward."
When Wang Ziteng heard the call from the Supreme Emperor, his heart skipped a beat. Just now he stood silently in the class. In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he was already on the verge of betrayal. Now that the Supreme Emperor called him out, he might be trying to settle accounts with the Queen.
However, Wang Ziteng did not dare to resist. He quickly came out of work, knelt down in the middle and paid homage to the Supreme Emperor: "I, Wang Ziteng, have seen the Supreme Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"I ask you, what would you do if you were asked to patrol the nine sides?" The Supreme Emperor asked directly. Regarding Wang Ziteng's performance just now, the Supreme Emperor was not very disappointed. He had originally thought of letting him patrol the Nine Sides and then take over when he came back.
Lei Ying is the commander-in-chief, so now it seems that he should be allowed to stay at the border.
Although the Supreme Emperor has decided to exile Wang Ziteng to the border, he is still a little worried, fearing that Wang Ziteng has little experience and will mess around, so he wants to hear Wang Ziteng's own opinion.
Wang Ziteng had already heard from various sources the news that he was asked to patrol the nine borders, and he was not frightened at this time: "If I patrol the nine borders, I will not attack the generals, but just look for a few minions and kill them."
Already."
Just when Wang Ziteng said this, Lei Yinglu next to him shouted: "Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. You have neglected your duties and said it in public. Do you still feel a little ashamed in your heart?"
The Supreme Emperor heard Lei Ying speak again on the court and shouted angrily at Lei Ying: "Shut up and wait until I ask you a question before you answer, otherwise I will punish you for deceiving the emperor."
Lei Ying saw that the Supreme Emperor was really angry, so he stopped his activities and stood aside without saying a word.
Without Lei Ying's interruption, Wang Ziteng continued: "I use the heads of these people as a deterrent, and urge the generals in various places to replenish their numbers, train more frequently, and strengthen the defense of the border. This is all I can do."
The Supreme Emperor was still very satisfied with Wang Ziteng's answer. He didn't think about going to war, but just thought about making small repairs. Although it didn't seem to have much impact on the overall situation. In fact, it was indeed the most stable method and would not provoke border officials.
The general's disgust can also improve combat effectiveness to a certain extent. It is currently the most reliable method.
The Supreme Emperor was still satisfied with his strategy for border control, but this time the Tatars came to attack the border. Without some strategy, just stabilizing the border was not enough.
"This year the Tatars are sweating south. You are patrolling the border. Naturally, you will be in charge of this defense. Please tell me what you can do." The Supreme Emperor is still satisfied with you and Wang Ziteng's inspection northward, but because Wang Ziteng has not passed through anything
War, so the Tatars who went south still had doubts about whether they could withstand it.
"Your Majesty, this time the Tatars went south this time. It is different from the past. The year before last, Mr. Jia led the soldiers to defeat them. They no longer have the strength to attack everywhere. Now the only places where our defenses are weak are around Shaanxi. But these
The place has always been relatively poor, and the Tatars don't have much money even if they conquer it. So I think the Tatars' main offensive targets this year are Shanxi and Hebei. As long as Xuanfu Town and Datong Town are preserved, the Central Plains will be safe. And Xuanfu
The town is the old department of Master Jia, the Minister of Military and Aircraft, so I don’t need to worry about it. I will personally take charge of Datong and mobilize troops and horses to ensure that Datong is not lost. In this way, the Tatars can break into some small counties and plunder some supplies.
It won't hinder the overall situation." With these words, Wang Ziteng could be said to have explained his strategy to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.
After listening to Wang Ziteng's words, the Supreme Emperor kept nodding. It seems that Wang Ziteng did not give it in vain. His arrangements have been able to ensure that there will be no big losses in the Central Plains. As for some small counties being breached, there is nothing that can be done about it.
.
The Supreme Emperor made up his mind and immediately issued an edict: "The edict is to promote Prince Teng to the governor of the nine provinces. He will leave the capital that day to inspect the nine borders. If there are any lawbreakers, those below the third rank will be killed first and then reported. At the same time, Prince Teng was ordered to temporarily supervise Datong and Shanxi troops to resist.
The Tatars are going south this time.”
Wang Ziteng listened to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor's decree and hurriedly knelt down to thank him again. Wang Ziteng understood that the control of the nine provinces was just a transition. If he did well, he would be promoted to the governor of the nine provinces in the next step. If he could gain the trust of the Supreme Emperor again,
, or he may be directly appointed as Minister of War, and then he will be the peak military commander.
Even if the matter was settled, the emperor looked on and was very happy. They had achieved their goal and transferred Prince Teng out of the capital. Jia Ke lost an arm. Then according to the established plan,
He began to recommend his own people to serve as the governor of the capital camp and control the 100,000 troops left after Wang Ziteng resigned.
Jia Ke stood at His Highness and looked up at the joy on the emperor's face. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The emperor has arrived and he is still daydreaming. Why is his heart so big?
The emperor's men and horses in the main hall were already getting ready to move. But the big boss among them stood there without saying a word. Because these old foxes had already seen that something was wrong with the situation, and the Supreme Emperor would not let the Emperor gain military power easily.
And there was no way to remind the people of his faction, so he could only express his feelings in silence.
Sure enough, the Supreme Emperor asked from above: "Since Wang Ziteng has been appointed as the governor of the nine provinces, his position as the governor of the capital camp is now vacant. Now that everyone is here, let's discuss it and see who will take over.
This group of people is good."
As soon as the Supreme Emperor finished speaking, Hu Keshan, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, stood up and began to say: "I would like to report to the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty, I have recommended Lei Ying, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to control the troops and horses of the Beijing camp. Mr. Lei is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he knows very well about the affairs of the army.
The army can be stable and there will be no chaos."
After hearing what he said, the Supreme Emperor had a smile on his face, but he didn't express anything. Instead, he continued to ask: "What else is there? Is this the only candidate?"
Meng Ming, an old man, was brave enough today. After realizing that his dissatisfaction with the emperor had reached its extreme, he stood up and told the Supreme Emperor: "To report to the Supreme Emperor, I recommend Jia Ke, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department. Jia Ke has been serving in the military."
He has been appointed to the post and has made many military exploits in the battle against the Tatars, so I think he is the best candidate."
Just as Meng Ming finished speaking, Liu Yu, the Minister of Civil Service, stood up and retorted: "No, although Jia Ke has experienced military exploits, he already controls half of the people in the capital. If he is allowed to control all the people in the capital, it will probably not be a blessing to the emperor."
The sentence was already too much, and he almost pointed at Jia Ke's nose and said that he was going to rebel.
