On the evening of May 12, after Jia Huan said the policy of pacifying the Western Regions in the Beijing Palace, he began his leisurely vacation career: three months of marriage leave. He www.biquge.info married on June 28, and there is only a little more than a month left. But he doesn't need to worry about all the affairs of the wedding, and he has his own people in Jiafu to handle it.

The old Wuxun group, represented by the Four Kings and Eight Princes, wanted to compete with the Xinxungui group led by Wei Qihou for the post of chief military officer who went to the Western Regions, and he was only responsible for making ideas. Whether it can be done depends on the ability of King Beijing, Niu Jizong and others.

On May 15, Emperor Yongzhi convened the civil and military ministers of the imperial court in the Qinzheng Hall of the Daming Palace. There are: four scholars, six scholars, the imperial envoy of the left capital, the left and right governors of the five military governors' mansions, the two governors of the same knowledge, the king of Beijing, the prince of Chengguo, and the prince of Shun.

In the scorching heat, the scorching sun shines on the towering trees surrounded by dense foliage outside the Qinzheng Palace. And the temple is quiet and cool.

Emperor Yongzhi stood high on the throne, looked around at the two shifts of civil and military ministers standing in the hall, threw a piece of music on the ground, and said coldly: "Wei Qihou and Xiangyang Marquis think that He Qing is not suitable to take charge of the affairs of the Western Regions. It's ridiculous! There is no need to say anything more about this. ”

Wei Qihou and Xiangyang Hou, who were standing in the military commander sequence on the right, suddenly sweated a little on their foreheads, and the corner of their eyes stared angrily at the black Niu Jizong in front of them. It seems that they have played tricks on this king and the eight lambs. What kind of scholar will the good Son of Heaven change?

Niu Jizong's face was expressionless, and he was only happy in his heart.

The Son of Heaven personally appointed He Daxue to be in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions. All dynasties know. However, Scholar He took a clear stance to defend Jia Huan, but did he know that the Son of Heaven had no ideas? It is not too difficult to let Wei Qihou and the others guess that the Son of Heaven has the idea of changing people in his heart.

After Emperor Yongzhi finished speaking, he ordered the ministers to discuss the affairs of the Western Regions again. The tone was naturally set, and troops were to be sent to the Western Regions. A small country, offending angels, killing Han people, cutting off trade routes, is there still a royal law (do you want to mix)?

He Shuo came out and said, "Your Majesty, to transfer 50,000 troops to the Western Regions, you need to raise grain and grass first. The summer grain has not yet been put into storage, and it will take three months, so the minister asked to send an envoy to the Western Regions first, to promote the king's transformation and hold the small country accountable. Don't let the small countries of the Quartet say that I am punished for not teaching. ”

These words are very atmospheric, and they are very much in line with Emperor Yongzhi's appetite. Of course, the core meaning is to send people to the Western Regions to find out the situation and reaction of various countries first, delay time, and win time for the mobilization of troops and horses, and the collection of grain and grass.

Emperor Yongzhi nodded.

Immediately, Gao Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, flashed out of the civil official queue and said: "The minister heard that Jia Tanhua was literary and romantic, the name of poetry spread overseas, and it was sung in all directions, and there must be a strategy for leveling the Western Regions, which can be an angel." ”

A group of civil and military ministers immediately laughed and remained silent. Gao Shangshu is "carrying" with Jia Huan. Endlessly, recommended in front of the Son of Heaven.

King Shui Rong of Beijing was about to open his mouth to resign for Jia Huan, at this time, He Shuo was still standing in the hall and did not return to the train, the green aura on his face flashed, and he said loudly: "Gao Guo should be punished for speculating on the Sacred Heart." ”

Ooh!

Scholar He's words startled a group of ministers who were "watching the excitement". Gao Guo, the secretary of the military department, sank his face. The status of the university scholar is outstanding, and he is ranked as the chief assistant. For example, Scholar Xie and Yin Peng, the Zuodu Imperial Shi who served as the commander (military power) of the Beijing camp, were directly reprimanded in person.

If Gao Shangshu argued with Scholar He at this time, he would be somewhat lacking in confidence. He was entrusted by others, and as a result, Scholar He directly wanted to "kill" him. This made him feel not only dissatisfied, but also retreating.

The Son of Yongzhi glanced at Scholar He, and did not hold Gao Guo responsible for speculating on his thoughts, and said, "Prepare again." ”

Scholar Xie walked out and said, "The minister thinks that Hanlin Ning has outstanding Confucian demeanor and is good at communicating. He served as a messenger and dealt with the Jinling grain case, and showed his ability to manage affairs. Can be angels. ”

Ning Ru is Mr. Longjiang. Immediately after he returned to Beijing, he was promoted to one level and was appointed as a Hanlin cultivator (from the sixth grade).

Emperor Yongzhi nodded, "Yes." "Agreed.

Next, the Son of Heaven circled the chief military officer with Niu Jizong, the governor of Zuodu, to lead the troops to the expedition, transferred 40,000 people to the Beijing camp, and transferred 10,000 elite soldiers to the nine towns to conquer the Western Regions, known as the 100,000 army. There are also various affairs and candidates for the expedition, which are roughly decided.

An hour and a half later, the monarch's deliberations ended. The four scholars and the civil and military officials all left the Qinzheng Hall one after another.

On the square in front of the palace, Scholar He stood still, waiting for Wei Qihou, the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Marquis of Xiangyang, the governor of the five armies, to come up, with a straight face, and reprimanded: "You and other military attachés, supported by the state, should be loyal to the king's affairs, practice diligently, and study the method of victory." What kind of system does it become to participate in attacks and party struggles? ”

Wei Qihou and Xiangyang Hou were a little disgraced and disgraced. However, there is nothing to be done.

It's one thing to have the power of Zaifu; In addition, the conquest of the Western Regions was in charge of Scholar He. Although the chief military officer took it away from Niu Jizong, the military attachés of their family also had to participate in the campaign in the Western Regions. Where do they dare to offend Scholar He in person now?

With a cold face, Senior Scholar He flicked his sleeves and went to the military aircraft office on the left side of the hall to face the room. Wei Qihou and Xiangyang Hou stood under the scorching sun, watching Scholar He in the distance. Niu Jizong and King Beijing smiled slightly. The mockery in the smile is self-evident.

Not far away, Scholar Xie was slowly pacing with Prince Zhongshun. looked at Wei Qihou and Xiangyang Hou, who were reprimanded, and said with a smile: "He Gaoyuan is really majestic!" ”

Prince Shun was an old man in his fifties, wearing a red prince's standard Baohe crown robe, a fat old man of medium stature, with long narrow eyes, and said with a smile: "If the Son of Heaven wants to use his talents, how can Wei Qihou compete with him?" ”

Xie Xuan nodded slightly, and said, "The small country in the Western Regions, together with the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court, can only bow down to the vassals. He Gaoyuan's contribution is very great, and he has a famous style. It's a pity that he and His Majesty are not of the same mind. ”

Prince Shun's eyes flashed, and he smiled without saying a word. Also, if he has the opportunity in the future, he still has to talk to Jinshang, although He Shuo is talented, he must not be the foreman of the military aircraft and the head of the court.

The political ideas of Scholar He are well known to everyone in the court. This time, it was the kid who insisted on protecting Jiafu again.

Hey!

…

…

After the court meeting was over, Mr. Longjiang received news that he was about to go to the Western Regions, and on the evening of the 16th, he invited Jia Huan to his mansion as a guest. Since being reinstated, Mr. Long Jiang has ended his debauchery life every day.

Located in the Ning Mansion in the east of the capital, in the hall of a courtyard in a luxurious mansion, bright candles burn, dispelling the dark night after the rain. A good incense is lit, and there is a slightly sweet and fresh taste in the hall. On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are side dishes and wine.

Mr. Longjiang is in his forties, wearing a Tang scarf and a jade-colored scribe's robe, with a handsome appearance, taking into account both handsomeness and vicissitudes, he raised his wine glass and poured wine for Jia Huan, "Brother Ziyuxian, I went to the Western Regions for my brother, I really have no bottom, and I also ask Brother Ziyu to know everything, and I want to say everything." ”

The Manchu Dynasty knew that Jia Huan's strategy of pacifying the Western Regions was very appreciated by the princes of the temple and even the Son of Heaven, and Ning Ru sent an envoy to the Western Regions, so he naturally first asked Jia Huan to understand the details of the imperial court's strategy.

Jia Huan smiled, "It should be so." ”

Mr. Longjiang is the son of Zaifu of the former dynasty, and at this time he is valued by the Son of Heaven, and he has much more information than Jia Huan. Most of them knew about yesterday's confrontation in the Qinzheng Palace, and immediately chatted with Jia Huan.

After listening to this, Jia Huan thought for a while and said, "If it is not my race, its heart will be different. In my opinion, my brother is here, and there is no need to screen whether those Hu people in the Western Regions are loyal to me or not. When the army arrived, it was all powdered. If anyone refuses, he will be killed until he is subdued.

The most important thing for a brother is to protect himself, to be false and to delay time. Of course, some people in the Western Regions dare to cut off trade routes, and they are afraid that they will be supported by the power of the great powers. It is better for the brother to inquire clearly, and if there is danger, it also comes from here. ”

Jia Huan's vision is beyond his contemporaries, and he knows the world map. The affairs of the Western Regions are either the rise of the countries in the north or the rise of the countries in the West Asia. For example: the Battle of Hengros in the Tang Dynasty; For example: Zuo Zongtang carried the coffin on the expedition.

Ning Ru pondered for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I used to read history books and thought about Ban Chao's bravery, but now it seems that I am still a little worse." It's better to save your life now. ”

After talking about business, let's talk about private affairs. Ning Ru said: "Brother Jia Xian, your manuscript, as well as the rectification in your mansion, in the capital, can really be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. You've been on vacation these days, and you probably haven't realized it yet. However, after yesterday's temple discussion, it should be fine. ”

The controversy between classical Chinese and vernacular is naturally a map of Grandmaster Fang's slaughter. And the talent of governing the country, this is for Scholar He to help him stop. The turmoil has now subsided. Jia Huan knew in his heart, thanked Mr. Longjiang for his concern, and asked, "How is Fu Bolong, the world's great Confucian in the world?" ”

Ning Ru laughed and said, "Learning is naturally good. However, calling himself an emperor is just a layman. There was one more sentence that he didn't say. He reminded Jia Huan in Jinling to be careful of the prince. I believe that with Jia Huan's brain, he knows what is the reason why he was repeatedly recommended by Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of War this time.

Jia Huan nodded slightly.

…

…

In the middle of summer, the sun is shining. The pedestrians are sweaty. Outside the south of the capital, the willows are still on the official road.

A simple ox cart with goods was waiting on the side of the road, and young men and old women were waiting. In the ten-mile long pavilion, two scribes were saying goodbye.

"Alas..."Wei Hanlin sighed, raised his glass to Mei Hanlin, who was about to go to the Hami Guard, "Brother Mei go out, take care, if you have any difficulties, you can write a letter to come to Beijing." ”

He and Mei Hanlin have been sitting on the cold bench in the Hanlin Courtyard for many years, and they have a good personal relationship.

Mei Han Lin Mei and Ge had yellow muscles and thin faces, and their expressions were gloomy, so they drank the wine in one gulp, shook their heads, and said, "No." Farewell here, there will be no day to see Brother Wei again in this life. I hope that Brother Wei will rise to the top and live up to his life's ambitions. ”

Wei Hanlin sighed again.

Mei Hanlin was silent for a while, and said, "Please take care of Brother Wei's matter." My family is degraded and degraded, so there is no need to suffer the daughter of the deceased. ”

Wei Hanlin nodded, "Brother Mei, don't worry." ”

After another conversation, the two said goodbye in the pavilion, tears shed in the long pavilion, the ancient road. Wei Hanlin watched the simple ox cart disappear on the official road with a family of five.
