Chapter 1619 Li Zan: Then follow the wishes of King Wei
…
Dahan, the first year of Jianxing, the first day of October
With the Han Dynasty and the Bashu Rebellion pacified, the border troubles caused by the bandits in the northwest were resolved, and the Han Dynasty court temporarily entered a peaceful period.
And the people throughout Shenjing City are discussing this war.
It can be said that the resolution of internal and external troubles greatly shocked the opposition forces who secretly slandered King Wei.
Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, backyard, waterside pavilion——
Yan Yiliu was dressed in a green dress, with three thousand lush hair tied into an exquisite bun, and her face with a bit of cherubic air seemed to be covered with a layer of rose-red aura, and she was holding a hand
Fishing rod, fishing.
After King Wei and King Liang failed in forcing the palace, the two kings of Wei and Liang were deposed as commoners, King Wei was imprisoned, and Yan Yiliu returned to the palace of Nan'an County.
It was considered that he had completely drawn a clear line with the King of Wei, with only a letter of peace and separation.
"Miss, miss, something serious has happened." At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran into the octagonal pavilion with double eaves and hooked corners, and said to Yan Yiliu.
When Yan Yiliu looked back, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink. He raised the rod suddenly, and a "clatter" sound suddenly sounded. In the sparkling waves, a goldfish could be seen shining brightly in the sunlight.
Yan Yiliu turned around with a pretty face, took off the goldfish from the hook, and said, "What's wrong?"
The maid whispered: "Miss, there are rumors outside that the Duke of Liao quelled the Shu rebellion in Sichuan, and the King of Wei... he died in the rebellion."
Yan Yiliu paused slightly with the fish in his hand, and then, with a nonchalant expression on his face, he put the goldfish in his hand into the bucket nearby.
"oh."
"Miss, uncle, he..."
Yan Yiliu said coldly: "That person is no longer my uncle."
One is separated and the other is wide, each is happy.
Yan Yiliu looked silent for a moment and said, "Okay, don't delay my fishing any longer."
The maid was stunned for a moment, and then left the back house without saying anything else.
Yan Yiliu sighed softly and looked at the fish floating on the lake. For some reason, he no longer had the idea to continue fishing.
When I got up, I went to the backyard. Concubine Nan'an was in the hall, coaxing her grandson.
After the Prince of Nan'an County was deprived of the title of County King, this old concubine undoubtedly became more honest and responsible.
But seeing Jia Heng being crowned a prince and becoming more and more famous outside, the old concubine felt unwilling to do so.
Princess Nan'an came closer, her eyes were as bright as water, she was surprised and said: "Yiliu, why does your face look so bad?"
Yan Yiliu walked closer. Under his plump eyebrows, his beautiful eyes were as bright as water and he said, "Old lady, it's nothing."
Princess Nan'an said: "Yiliu, I just heard from people outside that King Wei seems to be in Sichuan..."
When Yan Yiliu heard this, his flawless face suddenly changed, and he said, "Old lady, what do other people's affairs have to do with us? We don't need to care."
Hearing this, Princess Nan'an sighed softly and said: "One day, a couple will be kind to each other for a hundred days. Since Liu is a person who values friendship and righteousness, how can he not be attached to the love between husband and wife in his heart?"
As the saying goes, where there is love, there is hate.
If there is not love, how can there be hatred?
While Yan Yiliu was speaking, he lightly pursed his slightly pink lips, and his charming and naive face with a hint of heroism seemed to be covered with a touch of sadness.
Princess Nan'an said: "No matter what, after King Wei's remains and coffin are delivered to the capital, you should also go there and pay homage, so as to live up to the love between husband and wife."
"Yes." Yan Yiliu responded softly and said, "Old lady, I'm going back first."
Concubine Nan'an nodded, her eyes loving and peaceful, and said, "Go."
This child is just like her father, a stubborn person, but since Liu is still young and has no children, she should remarry.
The Yan family did not build any chastity arch.
But who else in this sacred city dares to marry her?
…
…
Wuying Hall, Military Aircraft Duty House
Li Zan, the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, was discussing the establishment of prefectures and counties in Liaodong with his cabinet ministers Qi Kun, cabinet ministers Zhao Yi and Liu Zheng, and military minister Shi Jie.
The Jiannu slaves in Liaodong were pacified, but this does not mean that the follow-up aftermath in Liaodong is over. Immigration to the borders, setting up governments and counties, accepting former Eight Banners soldiers, and how to treat the Jurchen herdsmen are all required one by one.
Keep it in mind.
There are as many as millions of Jurchens in Liaodong. These people must be properly resettled and integrated into the Han Dynasty, otherwise a new rebellion will occur.
Li Zan pondered for a moment and said: "In the east of Liaodong, we encouraged intermarriage between Manchus and Han people, made the Manchus learn the Han language and writing, and sent garrison troops to farm in Liaodong and build beacons to warn of border incidents."
Qi Kun nodded and said: "What Yuan Fu said is true. We cannot continue to do what we did before. The Jurchen chieftains in Liaodong are all commanding the tribes in Liaodong. They are accumulating strength and will rebel again when we in the Central Plains are busy with internal affairs."
Shi Jie answered from the side: "I, the Han Dynasty, have set up prefectures and counties throughout Liaodong to control Liaodong with both civil and military forces. We will not repeat the old events in Liaodong."
Li Zan said: "In recent years, the national policy of allocating people to farmland has been implemented throughout the country. According to the fish scale records reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs by all prefectures and counties in the world, the population of local prefectures and counties has increased sharply, and the number of people's household registrations has increased. This pavilion believes that the people of Qilu can be expropriated, and the immigration has actually
side."
Shi Jie said: "Immigration to the border and appeasing the border should be a national policy that needs to be adhered to."
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "After Bashu is pacified, the matter of reforming the country and returning it to the local people should also be put on the agenda."
When Qi Kun and Shi Jie heard this, they didn't say much else and just nodded.
Li Zan's face paused, and he asked in surprise: "Where is King Wei? Has King Wei ever entered the palace? King Wei is familiar with military and state affairs, so he should also come to the palace to discuss matters together."
Shi Jie said: "Yuan Fu, you have already sent someone to Ningguo Mansion to inform King Wei. I think they are on their way."
After a while, a prisoner's voice was heard from outside, saying loudly: "His Royal Highness King Wei has arrived."
Qi Kun said: "King Wei is here."
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a black and red satin python suit coming from outside. He had a resolute face and sharp eyes.
"King Wei." Qi Kun came forward and said with a smile on his face.
Jia Heng exchanged pleasantries and said, "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Qi Ge, I've been waiting for a long time."
Li Zan was surprised and said: "I was just discussing the affairs of Liaodong with Mr. Qi Ge. King Wei is the commander-in-chief of Ping Liao. He has previously mentioned the matters governing Liao after Ping Liao. I don't know what the situation is?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "I have mentioned Mr. Li Ge in the memorial before, but there have been new changes recently?"
"That's not true. It's just that the land of Liaodong has just been conquered. There are millions of Jurchens in Liaodong. It's not easy for me, a big man, to govern Liaodong and set up prefectures and counties." Li Zan said.
Jia Heng nodded and agreed: "What Yuan Fu said is true. In the land of Liaodong, it is necessary to select smart and capable ministers to go to the governor's town."
Li Zan looked expressionless and asked, "Does King Wei have any suggestions for action?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I think that we can set up a governor's palace in Shenyang, and let the governor of Liaoning rule over the former Shenyang, Tieling and other guard areas. At the same time, the Jurchen Eight Banners will organize and rule, and set up a system where our Han officials and the banner leaders will be jointly managed.
In addition, a governor of Jilin was appointed, and in Haixi, the barbarian Jurchen lands were governed by civilized officials."
To put it bluntly, they exercised iron-fisted control over places such as Yuan Shengjing, where the Jurchen power was strongest in Jianzhou, while the Heilongjiang, Kyrgyzstan and other places were educated and nurtured by civilian officials.
As for Heilongjiang, it has always been a bitter cold place. Even if it is a border area where immigrants are immigrated, it is unlikely that too many Han people will come there. It is really inappropriate to reorganize a bureaucracy.
After Li Zan heard this, he nodded and said: "It is the way to structure the economic system by setting up governors to govern various prefectures and counties."
Jia Heng said: "The candidate for the governor of Liaoning should also be chosen carefully. Only those who have both wisdom and courage will not be qualified."
The candidate who can serve as the first governor of Liaoning must be a person who is in charge of the army but not the herdsmen.
As Jia Heng spoke, he stared at Li Zan, calmed down, and said: "Mr. Li Ge, I thought that the former Minister of Military Aircraft Wang Ziteng and the current Xuanhua General Soldier could hold this position. What do you think Mr. Li Ge?"
Hearing this, Li Zan's eyes couldn't help but cast a dark look under his thin, loose eyebrows, and he was shocked.
Does Jia Ziyu want to further install cronies among local governors?
Li Zan said: "King Wei, Wang Ziteng serves as the commander-in-chief in Xuanhua and has no actual achievements. He hastily appointed him as the governor of Liaoning to control the vast territory of the town. Will he be able to control the situation in Liaodong?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Prince Teng was very mature and prudent during the Battle of Pingliao. Although I had some disagreements with him in the Beijing camp, I have seen his actions over the years.
His impetuousness is gone."
This sentence can be regarded as clearing up the suspicion that he has planted his cronies. He recommends candidates with a public heart.
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "King Wei, Zou Jing, the former commander-in-chief of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department of Peking, is a serious and astute man. He is most suitable for supervising Liaodong and controlling power with gentleness."
Jia Heng's eyes were shining brightly under his sword-shaped eyebrows, and he said: "Zou Jing has been living in a bitter and cold place for a long time. He has been away from home for five or six years. He should be transferred to the capital to show the court's sympathy."
Li Zan said: "King Wei, do you want to send someone to ask Zou Jing for his opinion? If so, is he willing to go to Liaodong?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, speechless for a moment.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, Qi Kun tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Mr. Li Ge, what King Wei said is not unreasonable. Zou Shilang is a civil servant, and there are tigers and wolves in Liaodong all over Jingzhen, so he may not be able to take on such a responsibility. Heavy responsibility."
At this moment, Zhao Yi, Minister of Industry, also echoed.
Liu Zheng's lips twitched, and he finally swallowed his words of agreement temporarily.
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Li Ge, let's finalize this matter."
Since Li Zan believed that he was installing cronies, no matter how noble and upright he was, he would not win Li Zan's approval. The new land in Liaodong should also be included in his pocket.
As for Wang Ziteng's ability, when he took office as deputy envoy of Jingying Jiedu, although his performance was mediocre, he could still be considered satisfactory.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Li Ge should take this opportunity to discuss the candidate for the governor of Sichuan."
Li Zan was surprised and said: "Does King Wei have a favorite candidate in his heart?"
At this moment, there was a hint of anger in the voice of the chief minister of the cabinet.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said loudly: "Sichuan is in chaos, and we need a strong-armed minister to serve as the governor of Sichuan. He can eliminate the influence of the Gao family in Sichuan and guard against local military and political officials colluding with the left and right to deceive superiors and subordinates."
Li Zan's heart moved slightly, his eyes were condensed, and he looked at the young man in the python suit and asked: "What do you think of King Wei?"
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Shi Ding, the governor of Henan, has been in charge of Henan for many years. He has dealt with chaos and brought peace, and he has done his job with sincerity. I think he can supervise Sichuan."
Li Zan was surprised and asked: "Shi Ding? If I remember correctly, Shi Ding and Prince Teng are both in-laws of King Wei."
Jia Heng said: "Mr. Li Ge never avoids relatives when promoting talents. During the reign of Emperor Sejongxian, I was so unscrupulous. I recommended Shi Ding as governor of Henan at first, and Emperor Sejongxian used it. After a few years, Shi Ding became the governor of Henan." It’s very lively in the land of Henan.”
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "When Marquis Zhongjing leaves, the governor of Henan becomes vacant. Who should take over?"
Jia Heng said: "Henan has been in chaos for several years and has returned to peace. When we look for civil servants to pacify Henan, I remember that when Emperor Sejongxian was there, I said that after the chaos in the Central Plains, Wu Xun was elected to govern. Now that the situation in Henan is smooth, , then choose civil servants to take over, promote culture and education, and be on the side of the herdsmen."
As he said before, he has always been public-minded, loyal to the country, and has no selfish motives in what he says or does.
Li Zan frowned, feeling suspicious in his heart.
Jia Heng said, turning to look at Qi Kun aside, and said in a deep voice: "Peng Ye, the envoy to Henan Province, worked conscientiously during his tenure in Henan Province, so his transfer to the governorship of Henan Province should be expected."
Peng Ye was originally the censor of the Zuo Deputy Capital, and could be regarded as a general of the Qi Party. Now that he recommended Peng Ye, it could be regarded as a show of goodwill to the Qi Party.
We should not blindly regard all civil servant groups as our enemies, and we should also win over those who should be co-opted.
It can only be said that things have changed. At that time, he and Yang Guochang, the leader of the Qi Party, had constant disagreements. In the end, they went around in circles, but he still connected with the Qi Party.
It can only be said that there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in politics, only permanent interests.
Hearing this, Qi Kun continued his conversation on the side, saying: "After the past few years of governance, Henan has become prosperous. The people do not close their homes at night and do not pick up lost things on the road. It is time to look for civil servants to care for Henan and follow the country's system of using civil servants and herdsmen."
Li Zan's face was as quiet as Xuan Shui's, but his heart couldn't help but be cast into a haze.
Doesn't Qi Kun know that King Wei is forming a clique? How can he join forces with King Wei?
Jia Heng said: "What do you think Mr. Li Ge?"
As for the selection of Henan Chief Envoy, Meng Jinwen, former Henan Governor and current Henan Deputy Chief Envoy, took over.
And Fu Qiufang's brother Fu Shi can also travel from Xinyang Prefecture to Henan Prefecture. The so-called movement means that the entire chain will move.
After all, he still didn't have many people under his command, so he could only control the bulk, which was the candidates for the governors of the provinces.
Until all the governors in the world were his disciples, he would have to consider the objections of the governors all over the world.
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said in an indifferent tone: "Then follow the wishes of King Wei."
King Wei's intention to monopolize power is clearly revealed, and there is no need for him to directly conflict with him now.
Jia Heng nodded and said nothing else. He left Wuying Hall and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Li Zan watched the young man in the python suit leave, his face gloomy and unspeakable.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion
The originally gloomy weather with surging dark clouds suddenly suddenly changed, and it was seen that the bleak autumn rain was falling, covering the whole world, making it vast and dark.
After Jia Heng finished bathing and changing clothes, he returned to the backyard and looked at Qin Keqing.
At this moment, Qin Keqing was teasing a child, and a slight blush could be seen on her plump and bright face.
Jia Heng said: "Ke Qing."
Qin Keqing's face, as fair as jade, seemed to be covered with a layer of aura as red as drunkenness, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, saying: "Husband, you are back."
"Daddy~" Jia Fu raised her pink and jade-carved face, stared at her father, and called out, with a look of joy in her eyes.
Third Sister You smiled and said, "Fu'er, you have to call me father later."
Jia Heng came forward, picked up Jia Fu's delicate body, smiled, and said, "Fu'er, let daddy see if he's heavier again."
Jia Fu snorted softly and said, "Dad, I'm a lot heavier, but I'm also a lot taller."
Jia Heng sat down, his eyes as warm as the sun, and asked: "Have you missed your father at home these days?"
Jia Fu said: "I think about it every day, but daddy doesn't come here every day."
Jia Heng smiled, pinched Fu'er's rosy cheeks, and whispered: "Dad is busy with things outside. He has only been completely free for the past two days."
Jia Fu called out sweetly, "Daddy."
Jia Heng smiled softly and pinched his daughter's pink cheeks. Under his sharp eyebrows, his eyes were full of doting and affection.
Qin Keqing's increasingly gentle and pleasant face looked at the young man in the python suit with a bright smile and said: "Husband, Fu'er is studying and practicing calligraphy now. You have free time. You can teach me more."
she."
But my heart finally let out a sigh.
Her belly has not moved yet, and she also wants to give birth to a boy.
Jia Heng asked with a smile: "But Qing, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Qin Keqing's beautiful, sparkling eyes were as bright as water under her eyebrows. She said, "I didn't think about anything. I just thought about it. Fu'er is so old, but she's already several years old."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looking a little dazed, and said, "Yes."
From the sixteenth year of Chongping, when Fu'er was born, to now, when Fu'er is five years old, the time he spent with Fu'er was actually only a handful, and he didn't really witness Fu'er's growth.
I have to say, it is undoubtedly a pity.
When I am busy with major world affairs in the future, I will not be able to take it into consideration.
Qin Keqing said: "Husband, Jingqing's wife seems to be pregnant." I want to carry Fu'er with me to my father's house in the next two days. Husband, please come with me."
"Is Mr. Jing going to be a father?" Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "It's just in time to reunite with my father-in-law."
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were soft and shining under her beautiful willow eyebrows, and she whispered: "What's going on?"
In fact, in the back house, there is nothing more than talking about these family affairs.
Jia Heng flirted with his daughter Fu'er for a while, then stopped lingering in the hall. He got up, left the backyard, and headed to the Grand View Garden, intending to see Daiyu.
