Chapter 703: Holy Birthday (I)
Jia Huan and Pang Ze stopped on the topic of Prince Tengfeng's marquis, but they discussed the situation in Saibei for a while.
With the Great Wall as the boundary, going out is outside the plug. It belongs to the topography of the Inner Mongolia Plateau. The area corresponding to the north of the Hetao and the Hexi Corridor is Saibei.
In the entire Inner Mongolia Plateau, there are Yinshan Mountain Ranges, with abundant water and grass, and great wars are often here. It borders the Liaodong Plain to the east. This is Mo Nan. The general army of Liaodong prayed for Xia to cross the Xianbei of Monan, which is here.
Further north of the Inner Mongolia Plateau is the desert. The north of the desert is the foundation of the king on the grassland, the land of the desert north. But whoever gets the Central Plains can be the Son of Heaven. Demobei Royal Court can be called the Khan of Heaven. Tang Taizong took this achievement.
To the east, Mobei is blocked from the Liaodong Plain by the Great Khingan Mountains, and to the north, it is the area of present-day Russia. To the west, it is bounded by the Altai Mountains and borders the Western Regions. The whole territory is about the Tang Dynasty, the Beiting Protectorate, and the Anbei Protectorate.
The Son of Heaven is good at martial arts, which can be seen by anyone who always pays attention to Pravda. However, with the financial situation of the Zhou Dynasty at this time, if a large-scale use of force against the barbarians outside the Saiwai Dynasty was carried out, I am afraid that the national finances would not be optimistic.
The view from the water pavilion is wide. Transparent glass windows are used. Pang Ze leaned on the sandalwood chair and sighed drunkly: "Ziyu, the mountain chief wants to write to the Son of Heaven for this matter." Alas..."
A sigh, a lot of words, swallowed in the stomach.
This is the reason why the two met alone in Yunxuan today. Pang Ze hoped that Jia Huan would persuade the mountain chief. But in the end, the words were not spoken. With the temperament of worrying about the country and the people with the longevity of the mountain, he will definitely write a book. And persuading the mountain chief is an offense to the mountain chief's personality.
He didn't speak, and he knew that Jia Huan wouldn't open his mouth either. So, he let out a long sigh.
Jia Huan took a sip of wine and said, "Shi Yuan, it is precisely because of angering the Son of Heaven that the consequences are unpredictable. So, this choice is particularly difficult. And this kind of hardship makes the personality of the mountain chief even more noble. Isn't that exactly what the ministers are praised and admired in history? Heaven and earth have righteousness. ”
Pang Ze nodded, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Jia Huan, and asked, "Ziyu, if you are in the position of the mountain chief, how do you choose?" ”
Jia Huan smiled slightly, took the wine glass, looked at Pang Ze's eyes, didn't think about it, and said calmly: "Resign!" ”
He was not a noble man. Noble people often end badly! Like Zhang Juzheng, the world is for the public, tired to death in the post, leaving a rich world, but after his death, even his home was copied by the emperor. He would never do such a thing.
Therefore, after Zhang Juzheng, there is no Zhang Juzheng! The only phase of the Ming Dynasty! The merit is in the world, and the sin is in one's own body!
A self-righteous and powerful emperor like Emperor Yongzhi, he has no interest in giving him a "preventive shot". Love what's wrong.
Pang Ze nodded.
Jia Huan said his judgment again and said, "Actually, Shiyuan doesn't need to worry. He Taishi recommended the mountain chief to the Son of Heaven to serve as the imperial history of the left capital. The first time the mountain chief went to the book to touch the moldy head of the Son of Heaven, the probability of an accident is very low. ”
In the heart of the Yongzhi Emperor, Jia Huan grasped it relatively accurately.
Pang Ze picked up the wine glass and drank wine, and said with a wry smile: "This is also true." I'm afraid of the future. Fortunately, the mountain chief didn't plan to work for long. "I have worked for too long, and I have repeatedly angered the Son of Heaven, and I am afraid that the result will be very bitter.
…
…
Jia Huan and Pang Ze chatted until the afternoon and evening, and then left Yuyunxuan. The border will attack the steppe barbarians. He has a weak heart. I don't want to care. This is beyond his ability
Sitting in the exquisite carriage, Jia Huan rubbed his forehead, scrutinizing and thinking about the situation and situation that came in. Jia Huan's carriage was very spacious, with four handsome horses. Ying'er obediently poured tea for Jia Huan. Jia Huan smiled and nodded.
Just now Pang Ze said that tying the prince to his ship is the last step. Under normal circumstances, he couldn't tie up Wang Ziteng. Just like Wang Ziteng, as long as he is not a brain-dead rebel, he will not be able to implicate Jiafu.
The rest of the things, it's all trifle. For example, Wang Ziteng took a stand in line in the succession, and the position of the political father is enough to ensure the independence of Jiafu.
In today's situation, it is still the big framework to seize the heir. If the prince is a marquis, for the palace, it is a leap to a step, and for the Jia mansion, there is at least a 30% boost. After all, the two provinces are relatives.
Small things can still be coordinated with each other. In major matters, the exchange of political interests is also a way.
The birthday of the Son of Heaven is on November 25. King Jin and King Chu will definitely fight, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him. He brushes his scores. The purpose is to ask the Son of Yongzhi for marriage.
This is his biggest task at the moment: to marry Daiyu home. It is not the time to intervene in the battle for succession. When the power of the King of Chu reached its peak, he stretched out his finger and gently pushed it, causing it to collapse with a bang. Easy and effortless.
It's pretty cool to think about!
…
…
On October 26, the imperial court issued a reward to Wang Ziteng. Qin Cha and Hanlin edited Xiu Li to announce the will of the imperial court with the holy decree and the Jinyi Wei Qianwai Yulin. Pravda published the reward: canonized the prince Teng as Jiang Ningbo, the capital of the nine provinces.
This is the second earl of the dynasty in recent years.
The first is Qi Chi, the governor of Qi, who opened up the southwest territory. Knighted Annanberg. And the capital of the five armies, who led the army of Beijing to capture the Western Regions, Zuodu Governor Niu Jizong, was knighted and knighted. It is not far from his ancestor Zhenguo Gong.
The title system of the dynasty: county king, prince of the country, hou, uncle, male, son. Each floor is divided into three classes: third-class to first-class. The prince vacated the title of a third-class uncle. Because the ancestral home of the Wang family is in Jinling, the title is given to Jiang Ningbo.
This time the knighthood came out, and the Wang family was arrogant. At a gathering of the children of the family in the middle of Beijing, Wang Chengsi hugged the singer after drinking and boasted to his "friends": "My father's title is much better than that of a general and a third-class baron." It's better than the political envoy..."
These words soon spread throughout the capital, causing some waves.
…
…
In early winter, a light rain fell in Beijing.
Located in the west of the city, in the palace of the king of Jin, houses, courtyards, gardens, trees, corridors, ponds, winter rain drops.
In the star-picking building on the east side of the Jin Palace, the King of Jin held on to the window, stood by the glass window, looked at the light rain in the evening, and was silent with the invasion of the mansion. He was thinking about the current situation. Behind him, an elegant and fresh seventeen or eighteen-year-old beauty, with a graceful posture, wearing a goose-yellow dress, knelt in front of the coffee table, finished frying tea, got up to salute the King of Jin, and walked downstairs silently.
The Star Picking Tower was originally a place used by King Jin to talk about confidential matters. However, after Liu Guozhong's death, there was no one who could give him advice.
Several of his staff members in the shogunate were not of good quality, and even suggested that he accuse the king of Chu of being involved in military power on the Son of Heaven's Shengshou Festival.
Recently, due to the victories of Yulin and Liaodong against the grassland barbarians respectively, in the Beijing Chinese Association, the poetry of the gentlemen has more martial atmosphere. For example: "I am willing to put the sword under my waist and cut Loulan directly", "Although I am not a pen caster, I still want to ask for Changying" and so on. After Grandmaster Fang left the capital, the Wenhui in the capital was the most famous in Jingyuan.
However, he is not stupid, how could he accuse the king of Chu like this in front of the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven is good at martial arts, this is an obvious thing. And to make a few lines of poetry, just want to get involved in military power? It is inevitable that the Son of Heaven is too simple.
King Jin sighed, feeling lonely and lonely, knocked on the glass window, and sat back at the coffee table to drink tea alone. Glass!
I don't know when it became popular to use glass windows in the mansions of the powerful people in Beijing. This does bring a lot of convenience. On the Holy Birthday Festival, he wanted to give a generous gift to the Son of Heaven to win the favor of the Son of Heaven. Compared with the king of Chu, he has more money left.
…
…
In Jing Garden, Han Jin was playing the piano alone. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the way of a gentleman. Over the years, he has been the master of the King of Chu, and his life has settled down, and he has also begun to pick up these things.
The sound of the piano is ding-dong.
In winter, the lake is calm without the slightest waves. It's like today's court. Although the military exploits of the border generals have driven the atmosphere in Beijing, the positions of the three scholars and Jiuqing in the court are very stable. The political situation is calm.
Luo Ziche walked into the terrace of the small courtyard from the outside and did not disturb Han Xiucai. Stand quietly on the sidelines. From the terrace, you can see that the lake and sky are the same color, and the pavilions and palaces are faintly visible. The view is outstanding.
Han Jin, as the mastermind, of course, is to have as little contact with people as possible. He is rarely seen in public. And the only one who can enter Han Jin's place is his second general.
After talking about the song, Han Jin asked with a smile, "Ziche, are you back?" How's it going? He sent Luo Ziche to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and saw Gao Million who was imprisoned.
Luo Ziche slapped the horse with a smile, "Brother Han is strategizing, how can there be a high million?" I went over and talked to him, and he was willing to donate 500,000 taels of silver. "Gao Million's case is currently Jia Huan's in the same year, Jiangxi Daoist Yushi Zhu Hongfei is in charge. Put it, it will definitely not be released for the time being. Later, though, you can.
Han Jin smiled and did not comment, but stood up, looked at the vast mirror-like surface of the North Lake, and whispered: "I hope that everything will go well in Shuzhong and Liu Zining in Jiangnan." ”
The meeting between Yin Yan and Empress Yang made him feel that time was not waiting for me, and he had to speed up his plan. And his plan will be on Holy Birthday.
