Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan's expressions changed greatly at the same time. They didn't know about this yet, and they looked at Sima Yao at the same time. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Sima Yao's face, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "It's true that I didn't think about it for a moment.
You didn't tell me these things earlier. The Crown Princess called me and King Kuaiji over today just to ask us to take care of our brotherhood. If the Crown Princess said this, I can't help but express my feelings."
Wang Gong gritted his teeth: "Even if you express your intention, Your Majesty should not give such an important power to the King of Kuaiji. Giving it to him would be giving him a royal treasure, which would really mean that the country will lose its general."
Sima Yao frowned: "I was indeed a little hasty, so just now I intended to take back these powers and give them to you and your friends, but Fan Zhongshu disagreed."
Fan Ning nodded: "Of course you have to hold this power in your own hands, but not now. These are not powers now, but hot fireballs that will only hurt yourself."
Wang Gong said dissatisfied: "Fan Zhongshu, you may have gone too far. Power is power, and it will never become a fireball. As long as we can make good use of it and replace it with our people, even those dark forces can withstand us."
what?"
Fan Ning sneered: "If these dark forces are so aggressive, will Xie An give up power? What you can't even do, how confident are you two that you can do it?"
Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan were originally excited, but when they heard these words, they were like pouring cold water on them, and they fell silent immediately.
Fan Ning sighed: "I hope more than anyone else that we scholars of Confucian classics can take control of the political power earlier and faster, and correct the world's atmosphere earlier and faster, but we can't rush it. Xie An just acted too hastily.
What happened today was that he was so powerful that he controlled the government internally and had strong military forces externally. There seemed to be no reason for failure, but why did he lose like this? It was because he wanted to be dominant and dominate.
They are above other aristocratic families, so they can plot against others secretly, and even find help from barbarians from enemy countries. This is a bloody lesson, and we must not commit it!"
Wang Gong gritted his teeth: "Are we going to let Wang Guobao and the others bring chaos to the country? Our hard work over the years, I went to build a good relationship with the Xie family, and Brother Yin pretended to be friends with Huan Xuan, is it all in vain?
"
Fan Ning sneered and said: "Of course not. The Xie family wants to retreat in order to advance, so we will follow the trend and let Xie Shi be in charge of the government, Xie Xuan be in charge of the northern palace, and Xie Yan be in charge of the capital's guards. The relationship between Xie Xuan and Xie Yan is very delicate.
They will fight among themselves, and those aristocratic families hidden in the shadows will also jump out to seize power. Wang Guobao and Huanxuan are their current facades, but they cannot compete with the Xie family. In the end, they still have to stand up for themselves.
, when that time comes, it’s time for His Majesty to really take action.”
Sima Yao nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, the Xie family will fight on their own?"
Fan Ning smiled and said: "This is inevitable. The conflict between Xie Yan and Xie Xuan has been going on for a long time. In the past, it was Xie An who suppressed it to prevent it from breaking out, but now that Xie An has retired, he can no longer suppress it. Xie
Xuan is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, and he should be dismissed from his post. However, we did the opposite and continued to keep him in the Beifu Army.
Cheng. Our marriage failed, but we gave the Xie family enough face, so that the Wang and Xie families will be grateful and sincerely help."
"The royal treasure used by the King of Kuaiji is nothing more than a treacherous villain. If he comes forward to fight with the Xie family, he will definitely attract members of the Xie family and cause a split between the families. At that time, Your Majesty will only need to act as an arbiter to balance the two families.
, contain them, use their party struggles and internal fights to deal with and remove officials on both sides, and slowly replace them with our own people. In a few years, the world's power originally controlled by the children of high-ranking families and metaphysics will be
It will slowly pass into the hands of scholars."
"But ministers do not have to stand out and directly hold important positions. They can carry out propaganda through some civil servants and establish these concepts of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness among the scholars in the world. This is something that metaphysicians cannot directly deny. When the time is right, Your Majesty will make Yangzhou governor and Jingzhou governor."
Important positions such as governorship were taken back from the Xie family and from the hands of King Kuaiji."
Yin Zhongkan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Didn't you say that the governor of Yangzhou and the Beifu army were given to the King of Kuaiji? Why were they given to the Xie family?"
Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Jingzhou is given to King Kuaiji. Now brothers Huan Shiqian and Huan Shimin are seriously ill and unable to serve as directors. They have also submitted letters to resign. Your Majesty can agree, and then send Wang Guobao out to control Jingzhou and Wang Ningzhi to Jiangxi."
Prefecture, let Zhu Xu lead the governor of Yuzhou. The governor of Yangzhou can be given to the king of Kuaiji, but the Beifu army is still left to Xie Xuan. In this way, the king of Kuaiji only has the title of Yangzhou governor, but loses the most important Beifu army, which also becomes
Nothing happened. Jingzhou upstream was given to Wang Guobao, but Zhu Xu, an old general of the Huan family, and Wang Ningzhi, an ally of the Xie family, were used to separate Yuzhou and Jiangzhou, cutting off the connection between Wang Guobao and King Kuaiji. In this way, there was no breach of promise and no
Instead of allowing the King of Kuaiji to truly take power, he allowed them to confront Wang Xie's forces head-on, so that Your Majesty could take advantage of them."
Sima Yao laughed and clapped his hands: "Gao, it's really Gao. Teacher Fan, your idea is exactly the same as mine, so I'll do as you say."
Fan Ning nodded with satisfaction and looked back at Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan: "Don't be too impatient, you will definitely get what you want in less than three years, but now is not the time, so please be patient.
"
Wang Gong curled up his lips: "If the Beifu Army is still controlled by Xie Xuan, I have no objection. However, Wang Miaoyin's ordination as a monk is disrespectful to His Majesty. How should this matter be handled?"
Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Wang Miaoyin's behavior is personal and has nothing to do with the Xie family. What she did will make the Xie family sincerely loyal to her for a period of time to make up for it. Therefore, I believe that this matter cannot be punished, but should be comforted."
Sima Yao's expression changed: "Appease? How can you appease someone who despises the royal family so much?"
Fan Ning nodded: "Wang Miaoyin became a monk in order to kill Liu Yu in Hebei. It can be regarded as a sentimental thing. Your Majesty can grant her a monkhood in Jianjing Temple, treat her like a bhikshuni, and even go there often to talk with her.
Zen talks about Taoism to show favor, which shows His Majesty's generosity and broad-mindedness, and also brings the relationship with Wang Xie's family closer. Compared with the injustice you suffered from Wang Fahui in the past few years, this is nothing.
What?"
A smile broke out on Sima Yao's face: "Teacher Fan, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!"
