Chapter 1710: The right to dominate the government and the wild Xun Baishui!
Xun Baishui and his party worked together, and Emperor Liang finally found his way, so he followed the trend and said: "That's it! You have humiliated the country by losing your master, and I have lost the general. You should have been killed, but Xun Aiqing and others protect you."
"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. I will punish you with a stick for thirty years to serve as a warning to others!"
The Prince of the East Palace was naturally unhappy and wanted to jump out and kill King Yu with a sword. However, Xun Baishui had great power and powerful party members, so he had no choice but to snort coldly and bury his dissatisfaction deeply in his heart.
"My father is so generous and kind that my sons and ministers dare not forget..."
Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan kowtowed three more times, and the stone in his heart finally fell. Instead, he admired Xun Baishui even more, who closed his eyes and meditated in Fengtian Hall.
After the defeat in Fengwu Prefecture, King Yu was already frightened to the point of despair. However, under the guidance of Xun Baishui, he acted out this scene in the Fengtian Palace.
What Chen Qing just said was naturally taught by Xun Baishui. Seventy percent of the direction of the battle situation is true, but three thirds of the details are false. The purpose is to give Emperor Liang a step forward.
Now that Meng Zhi has surrendered to Feng Wuchao, Xiao Jinghuan's mouth is all that is needed to confuse right and wrong at will. Even if there are sensible people in the Fengtian Palace who know the truth of the matter, absolutely no one will stand up and defend the country.
People spoke, and offended Xun Baishui, the chief minister of the cabinet, who had all the power in the party.
Emperor Liang's board was raised high, but fell gently in the end. It was all within Xun Baishui's calculations, which shows that this chief minister of the cabinet was extremely scheming.
After dealing with the matter of King Yu, Emperor Liang thought of the Great Feng Wu entrenched in the southeast, which was like a hidden dragon rising into the abyss, shaking the world, and his scalp became faintly numb again, and asked: "My dear friends, the Feng Wu bandits swept across the southeast and attacked one after another.
Yunzhou, Fengwuzhou, and Hezhou are gradually losing their power. Is there any strategy to defeat the enemy?"
The fall of the Three Prefectures meant that countless money, food and other items fell into the hands of the Fengwu Army, and even the army lost hundreds of thousands. No matter how strong the Liang State's national power was, it could not withstand such losses.
....
Zhongshu Ling Song Fu said worriedly: "Your Majesty, as a military strategist, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can be victorious in every battle... The battle of Fengwuzhou was after the Xuanjing Division was damaged and the intelligence agency was paralyzed. It is urgent.
It is an intelligence agency that wants to reorganize the Xuanjing Division and lay out the main pillars!"
"What Aiqing said makes sense..."
Emperor Liang nodded and sighed: "Xia Jiang has been in charge of the Xuanjing Division for more than ten years. He has made countless achievements, but he doesn't know who can take his place?"
The Xuanjing Division was too important, and it had to be someone the emperor could trust. It took Xia Jiang more than ten years to finally get Emperor Liang to trust him. Even the officials in the court couldn't think of anyone else who could be qualified?
Song Fu cupped his hands and said: "I recommend someone, this person is the Seventh Prince Xiao Ce. He is both civil and military, and he is your Majesty's son. He can be loyal. If he can be trained and trained, he can be of great use!"
"Xiao Ce?"
Emperor Liang fell into deep thought. The Prince of the East Palace had always had a close friendship with his seventh brother Xiao Ce. He immediately stood up and said, "Father, I think that my seventh brother is quite talented and I can give him a try."
There was really no one around Emperor Liang, so the prince stood up to speak again, but he still nodded and agreed: "Gao Zhan, you go and pass on my instructions, let Lao Qi take charge of the Xuanjing Division, reintegrate the intelligence agencies of Da Liang, and investigate Feng Feng
News about Wu Chao."
"Old slave, take your orders!"
The great eunuch Gao Zhan bowed and retreated.
Xun Baishui immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first make peace at home. Now that Meng Zhi's treason has spread throughout the country, this trend must not rise. I ask your Majesty to capture the Meng clan and add some
Punish him severely, re-establish the position of commander of the Imperial Guard, and stabilize the capital of Jinling!"
Emperor Liang snorted coldly: "I treat Meng Zhi very well. This person has ulterior motives and dares to betray me. He ordered the Xuanjing Division to thoroughly investigate the Meng family. If anyone in the family is implicated, they will be killed. Meng's outside relatives and children are involved.
Tuck into the quiet courtyard and be a slave forever!"
"Xun Aiqing, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, controlling the Imperial Guard is a top priority. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
The Prince of the East Palace had just tasted the sweetness and said excitedly: "My son recommended..."
But before he finished speaking, Emperor Liang said calmly: "I am asking Mr. Xun, what did you say when you came out?"
"My son, I'm sorry."
The prince of the East Palace broke into a cold sweat behind his back and retreated hastily.
This was Emperor Liang's balancing act. He first pulled the forces of the East Palace, and then gave Xun Baishui a little sweetness. In this way, the forces on both sides were still balanced.
Xun Baishui bowed and said: "When promoting talents, we should not avoid relatives. Xun Feizhan, a nephew of the old minister clan, is on the list of Langya masters and is loyal to Daliang. Your Majesty may be able to use him..."
Um......
Emperor Liang nodded and said calmly: "It is said that your nephew is the best in martial arts among the younger generation, so I will temporarily appoint him as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. He will be rewarded for his meritorious service in the future. What do you think, Ai Qing?"
"
Xun Baishui paused and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I am grateful and I dare not forget it!"
After filling up the two big holes in the Liang Kingdom, we finally talked about the top priority - how to solve the problem of the rise of the Feng Wu Dynasty:
"Your Majesty, the Fengwu bandits are too powerful to make an enemy. It is better to send an envoy to confer a prince first to stabilize the Fengwu King..."
"This is a very clever plan. If you send another princess to marry, maybe you can turn the hostility into friendship..."
"Yunzhou is located in the southeast and close to northern Xinjiang. It is almost adjacent to the Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Yan Dynasty. The terrain is critical. How can we let it go?"
"I beg your Majesty to send troops to fight against the fucking Feng Wu bandit!"
...
The ministers in the DPRK were talking a lot and making a lot of noise.
Some advocate appeasing the Feng Wu Army, while others have a tough attitude and want to send people to confront the Feng Wu Army head on. You name it.
In the end, there was still a group of ministers in the court, talking about it and making a lot of noise.
Emperor Liang's head was buzzing, and he waved his hands repeatedly to stop everyone, and asked: "What's the fuss about in Fengtian Hall? Xun Aiqing, you are always very wise, what do you think is the safest way to deal with it?"
Xun Baishui, the chief minister of the cabinet, is as wily and calculating as the prime minister of the empire, and he will be relied upon at critical moments...
