"I report to the Empress Dowager that I have led Beifu to win consecutive battles. It is God who has blessed us with the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is not my own efforts. I would like to give the minister's reward to the officers and soldiers of Beifu to boost the power of the army." Wang Mi said with a loud voice.
He said these words.
The so-called edicts are those things that are only for the sake of appearance, and are made for the eyes of the high officials in the imperial court.
In fact, Wang Zhenying and Wang Mi had already reached an agreement on the details of the reward. However, in the edict, Wang Zhenying still wrote the one for Wang Mi.
And Wang Mi obviously knew what was going on. At this time, of course he had to stand up and show courtesy.
Wang Zhenying smiled in the bead curtain and said: "Wang Aiqing, you deserve these. You have worked hard for me, how can you not give me a reward?"
This is another polite word, light and without any weight.
The Queen Mother behind the bead curtain and Wang Mi standing under the throne each understood their roles and how they should behave at this time.
Wang Mi repeatedly humbled himself, and Wang Zhenying kept trying to stuff the rewards into his arms. Naturally, all the ministers also expressed that Wang Shilang was absolutely qualified to receive these rewards.
In fact, his contribution is far beyond what these awards can reward. He is a great contributor to our Jin Dynasty.
Number one lucky star.
Even Wang Gong, who was as petty as a needle's eye, stood up and said a few words without hurting.
Although no one took it seriously.
But this is the responsibility of the prime minister and minister of the imperial court. One code must be the same. Even if there is trouble in the future, it will be a matter of the future. Now is the stage of judging merit and rewards. Although I disagree in private, when it comes to the court, I should persuade him to enter.
I still have to advise.
You can't show your pettiness in real time in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
Of course, everything is a performance. Wang Zhenying understands it, and Wang Mi also knows it very well. As for Wang Gong, if Wang Mi really dares to agree, he will immediately pull out a memorial from his sleeve and join him on the spot!
After a performance, the reward naturally did not fall into Wang Shilang's pocket, and the officers and soldiers of Beifu did not receive an extra share.
Originally, this edict was equivalent to a blank check, asking for money, which was not available.
There was no preparation for Wang Mi in the first place. In the end, after the performance of harmony between the monarch and his ministers was over, Wang Mi also expressed his loyalty and showed it to the court officials. Behind the curtain, in Wang Zhenying's arms, Sima De
Zong burped happily.
It's over.
It should be over.
There was a brief gap above the court. Although it was not long, it was enough to make people nervous.
No one knows what will happen next, not even the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying behind the bead curtain.
What should be done, she thought.
Although it sounds strange to say, it is a living fact.
Since Sima Yao's death, this is the first time Wang Zhenying has publicly hosted a court meeting. As a newcomer, to be honest, she is a bit nervous.
When this person is nervous, his brain will easily short-circuit.
"My dear friends, if you have any important matters, please report them."
As the spokesperson of Emperor Sima Dezong, although Wang Zhenying is not qualified to speak in the hall, at this time, only she can speak.
At this time in the Jin Dynasty, the folk customs were still relatively free and undisciplined.
I am the one who speaks and you are the one who delivers the message. The Queen Mother cannot have a direct conversation with the ministers. There is no need for eunuchs to convey the message on their behalf. There is no such thing.
It's not that complicated at all.
Now, when Wang Zhenying speaks from behind the bead curtain, no minister thinks that he is like a hen crowing and has exceeded his authority.
Instead, you look at me, I look at you, and see if there is such a brave person among the colleagues present.
Wang Mi looked at the back of Wang Gong's head and leaned closer to Yuan Yuezhi: "Didn't you say that someone wants to cause trouble for me?"
"Where?"
Yuan Yuezhi laughed softly and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we didn't?"
"Looking at you, you seem to be looking forward to it."
Yuan Yuezhi had a serious face and didn't even look at Wang Mi before he snarled back. This quarrel made Wang Shilang feel comfortable.
right!
The more indifferent a person is, the easier it is to arouse Wang Shilang's interest.
Being indifferent and informal in speaking and smiling can only show that he has a lot of stuff in his stomach and is a person with real abilities.
For example, take Lao Fan, he is a good-tempered person, but it is of little use to be cheerful all day long. He is a person who studies philosophy. Every day he is either fishing in the court or studying in a small study room.
For such a person, as a conversation partner, it is good to recite poems and write poems, but it is a bit difficult to pay attention to the trends in the court, or even evolve into a right-hand man.
Even if you can prevent him from getting involved in big things, you still can't let him get involved, otherwise it will be a hindrance and ruin things. Don't even think about blaming Mr. Fan, it's all your own fault.
No one is talking?
No one wants to stir up trouble?
Wang Zhenying's face inevitably showed a disappointed expression.
At this time, the man standing in the first row of the hall rolled up his sleeves and finally stood up.
"To the Queen Mother, I have something important to report." The loud voice came from Wang Aning!
This guy is really going to cause trouble!
Wang Mi was standing next to Wang Gong, slightly missing by a small distance. He looked at Wang Gong with question marks on his face as he walked in front of him, raised his hands, and started to play.
Although he hasn't explained what happened yet, Wang Mi has already made some preparations.
It must be inseparable from him.
The eyes of the ministers all rushed over at once.
here we go!
The drama finally begins!
"If Zaifu has anything to say, you can say it."
There was no memorial in Wang Gong's hand, and Wang Zhenying could see it clearly.
As for Wang Gong, he really had no intention of impeaching anyone. At this time, the steaming air above the hall seemed to be filled with a layer of tension.
The most nervous person is neither Wang Zhenying, nor Wang Gong, nor even Wang Mi, who is ready to take over.
Instead, the ministers were queuing up to watch the show.
Wang Gong's attack must be against Wang Mi. The hatred between these old friends is an open secret in the court.
Many people rolled up their sleeves and were ready to choose a side.
But where will Wang Gong start?
There are also a few smart ones who have now set their sights on Yin Zhongkan.
This person is Wang Gong’s best friend and think tank. He definitely knows what Wang Gong wants to do. Unfortunately, Brother Zhong Kan also looks confused now.
Some friends with clear eyes and minds, who were already extremely smart people in the court, discovered an even more shocking fact.
Wang Xun, where is Wang Fahu?
Isn't he a member of Wang Gong's party?
How can I stand with my family member Wang Mi at this moment?
Could it be that they were going in both directions?
Such a shocking fact, Wang Gong himself was so shocked that he didn't notice it at all, which is probably a good thing.
It's the same for both parties.
"The Queen Mother, I heard that Shilang Wang captured a large number of Di Qin soldiers and some surrendered generals. These achievements have been quite rare in the past ten years. Shilang Wang is a young and talented man, and he is indeed the pillar of our Jin Dynasty. I
I admire and envy him at the same time. If I were twenty years younger, I would also imitate Wang Shilang, mount his horse, whip his whip, and leap north."
Before provoking trouble, he always flattered him. This is Wang Gong's behavior as a decent person and has nothing to do with his personal inclinations.
No one agreed with him, but there were a few sneers.
It seems that even if he is twenty years younger, many people still doubt Lao Wang's abilities.
Wang Mi just listened quietly. When Wang Gong mentioned the word prisoner, his eyes brightened slightly, but soon darkened again.
It feels like I've already touched a little bit of the thread.
At this time, Wang Gong had finished singing high notes and finally moved on to the next topic.
hurry up!
When you're done talking and doing it, you can go home and have dinner.
Many ministers had arrived early and hungry. The palace of the Jin Dynasty was filled with a searching atmosphere from top to bottom.
His Majesty the Emperor is still nursing and does not have the ability to help the ministers prepare breakfast, so he can only solve the problem himself.
Wang Gong: The stumbling block among peers.
Sima Dezong: She’s not a biological mother, but it feels warm to hug her.
"Shilang Wang's hard work has made great achievements, and the military exploits of the Beifu brothers do need to be displayed. However, the veteran also believes that it is not appropriate to continue the prisoner presentation ceremony."
"Why can't it be done?"
"Wang Aning, are you deliberately going against me?"
Before Wang Mi could say anything, Fan Ning, who was always good-tempered, jumped out first.
This is correct. Compared with Wang Mi, the most anxious person in the court now is indeed Fan Ning. Because since Wang Mi handed over this errand to Mr. Fan, he has been studying behind closed doors until yesterday.
Only then did the complete plan come out.
They were about to take the prisoners of war and some Beifu soldiers to practice, but before they even started, they were put in a position by Wang Gong.
Fan Ning no longer wanted to care about what purpose Wang Gong was trying to achieve, nor was he interested. Although the preparation time was not long, the old man spent a lot of effort on it. In order to be able to organize this prisoner dedication ceremony,
It was solemn and in line with ancient etiquette. Fan Ning looked through ancient books and didn't know how much information he consulted.
So much hard work, so much hard work, was negated by Wang Gong's words?
Wang Gong was also anxious.
"When did I target you?"
"Is the prince targeting me?"
"That's right. I led Beifu and I conquered Yecheng. The prince blocked the prisoner presentation ceremony. This is obviously because he has a problem with me."
Wang Mi stood on Fan Ning's side and finally spoke.
Fan Ning looked proud. With the support of Wang Shilang, there is no battle that cannot be won!
Wang Gong and Wang Mi started fighting, and the rest of the people in the court were naturally unwilling to lag behind and expressed their opinions.
The court hall of Jin Dynasty has not been as lively as it is today for a long time.
The imperial court at the end of the Jin Dynasty did not have any high-end gadgets. These people should have the same interests.
They came from an aristocratic family and were able to achieve the reputation they have today thanks to the fall of Jin Dynasty and their crossing south to Jiangzuo.
Many people often have questions: Why do the aristocratic families in Jiangzuo pay so much attention to status, and no matter what they do, they must judge the outcome based on family status?
If it is an exaggeration, there is one reason that is easily overlooked.
That is, the reason why family status is emphasized may be precisely because if something is lacking, something needs to be shown off.
It is true that the Jiangzuo family headed by the Langya Wang family was also the leading family in the Central Plains region.
Their status was impeccable, but when they were in the Central Plains, they were just a flower among a hundred flowers blooming.
It will definitely not reach the same momentum as after crossing Jiangzuo south.
In the Central Plains, there are also first-class aristocratic families such as the Cui family of Qinghe, the Cui family of Boling, and the Li family of Zhaojun, which originated from today's Hebei Province.
Back then, when everyone was messing around in the Central Plains, no one was weak.
Unfortunately, in the years of chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Cui family in Qinghe and Boling, as well as the Li family in Zhaojun and the Lu family in Fanyang did not choose to flee south, but most of them stayed in the Central Plains.
This is of course a choice made after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.
Nowadays, when the wealthy families in Jiangzuo are gaining equal distribution of benefits through family balance, what are the wealthy families in the Central Plains doing?
Have you been ravaged by aliens?
It is undeniable that this is true, and in those days, many aristocratic families clung to their own territories and lived a very hard life.
However, after this period of time has passed, the Central Plains families can regain their youth, and they can also integrate with the major forces occupying the Central Plains and control the court.
However, this process must be much more difficult than that of the wealthy Jiangzuo family. After all, at that time, in the Jiangzuo area, in addition to Jiankang City, there were a few cities around it, and many places were basically still relatively barbaric and economically disadvantaged.
The level is not high. It is easy for these big and well-established families to fool a group of people in the hinterland of Jiangzuo.
Moreover, the villagers here are not as powerful and ferocious as those barbarians, and they are still easy to talk to.
The core interests, land, and industries of the Jiangzuo family are all in Jiangzuo. Of course, they have no aggressive intentions to take back the Central Plains.
People are very realistic animals. If we break into the Central Plains at this time, what kind of situation will we face?
The traditional Central Plains aristocratic families are not easy to mess with. Since the aristocratic families are respected, can we, the Central Plains aristocratic families, also get a share of the pie?
Of course it’s impossible!
Not only will they not give this opportunity, but the aristocratic families in Jiangzuo are also taking strict precautions against such a situation happening at all times, and have already created an atmosphere in public opinion that is not suitable for the aristocratic families on the other side of the Yangtze River.
Those aristocratic families in the Central Plains region are no longer good. Their bloodline is impure and they marry with other races. How can they still be called aristocratic families?
I still want to snatch the benefits, how is that possible?
Therefore, this is the reason why the Jin Dynasty had a good situation several times, but they were unwilling to take a little risk and compete for more territory.
With the Yangtze River or even the Huaihe River farther north as the dividing line, you mix with yours and we mix with ours. Wouldn't it be great for everyone to live in peace and harmony across a river?
Therefore, in the eyes of many Jiangzu scholars, what Wang Mi did was not very popular.
By fighting like this, aren't you breaking the existing pattern?
What if this angers the brothers in the Central Plains and destroys the existing good situation in Jiangzuo?
