Chapter 170: Matching Opponents at Chess Matches and Meeting Liangcai 10
After Wang Chen said that, he looked up and saw the agarwood sprayed from the beast furnace permeating the entire hall. Sima Yao, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, casually wore a white gauze hat and a big sleeve shirt. He sat behind the imperial case.
A stamp was displayed on it except for the two palace maids standing beside them. There was only Sima Daozi next to them. Wang Ya and Wang Ya were sitting long, making the entire hall look extremely empty.
Sima Yao's voice was very friendly, "Yuanda, have you drafted the chapter?" This chapter was the chapter that Wang Min was writing just now. Although it was almost not in the hands of the emperor, the aristocratic families were
No matter how arrogant you are, you have to give the emperor six basic face. Human rights are the most important power of the emperor. You have to respect it.
Although the emperor has no real power and let him see the personnel issues, it is actually just giving him face, but this is a matter of etiquette. If you don’t respect it, the emperor will certainly not do anything to you, but political enemies may use this to attack you
So unless it is time to decree, the ministers will still maintain basic respect for Sima Yao.
At this time, Wang Chen presented a letter with both hands and said loudly: "I have already prepared it, please read it to your Majesty."
A small yellow door ran over, took the stamp with both hands, and then carefully placed it on the imperial desk. Sima Yao smiled at Wang Min, then picked up the stamp, and quickly looked at it from beginning to end, and casually
Handed it to Sima Daozi beside him and said, "Daozi, look at it."
Sima Daozi is the son of the previous emperor, Emperor Jian Wen. Sima Yao's younger brother is now named King of Langya. Some people say that this title is actually a different name from the King of Wang, because the outside world generally calls their family, which is called Langya.
Wang Family
Sima Daozi is now the closest branch to the royal family. Because the Xie family once gained great power at that time, Xie An was too suppressed by the imperial power, so Sima Yao also had a little autonomy.
Therefore, Sima Daozi has some power now Sima Yao believes that with Sima Daozi by his side, his throne can be more consolidated, and he may become a true emperor in the future.
After taking the stamp, Sima Daozi browsed carefully, frowned, and glanced at Wang Chen. It was obvious that he didn't agree, and Sima Daozi didn't say anything.
Sima Yao smiled and said, "Yuanda, do you know why all the officials are left to you for the disposal of this time?"
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Of course it is Your Majesty's respect and trust."
Sima Yao nodded, "Your family has been virtuous for five generations. Your father Wang Tanzhi has made great contributions to the court, and I will never forget it."
Wang Chen knew that the great contribution the emperor mentioned was that Xie An and Wang Tan prevented Emperor Jian Wen from passing the throne to Huan Wen. At that time, Huan Wen had great military and political power, and his party members were spread all over the government and the country. It can be said that he had become Cao Cao's second.
He insisted on usurping the throne, and I'm afraid no one could stop him, but in the end, he still failed. To some extent, this was thanks to Wang Tanzhi and Xie An who squeezed Huan Wen with words. Huan Wen
Very face, I want to be the emperor, but I don't want to be a traitor
Sima Yao continued, "Hehe, it's the same Wang family, well, your Taiyuan Wang family is different from many people. I know that you have been loyal to the royal family for generations, have a great reputation, you are extraordinary in your talent, and the King of Langya has many times
Recommended, I want to use you more. Lu Na, the Minister of Personnel, has been promoted to the Minister of the Left Pushe. You will be the one who sits in his seat. Others say that you are young and energetic, rely on wine to make a living. You will be more restrained in the future and do not abolish the king's affairs.
”
These words have a deep meaning. In addition to making a wish to Wang Chen for his appointment as an official and trying to win over them, the most important sentence is "the same surname as the king", which is very debatable.
Everyone knows that a very important factor in the Jin Dynasty being able to settle down in Jiangnan was because of the Wang family. Generally speaking, due to the huge difference in status, the Wang family mentioned by others is without exception, Wang Dao and Wang Dun's family - Langya Wang Family
!
Sima Yao's words were a clear hint that Wang Chen was having an objection to the Wang family! This is an important signal
The Wang family has always controlled the government affairs. It is normal for the royal family to be dissatisfied with the Wang family. However, Emperor Ming of Jin was overturned by the Wang family. Because the difference in strength between them was too great, they would only dare to come secretly, even if they were dissatisfied.
Don't dare to say it openly
So Sima Yao dares to speak openly now. What does this mean?
But now, Wang Chen had no time to think about it. He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, I must devote myself to my whole life until I die!"
Sima Yao smiled slightly, obviously very satisfied. When he glanced at the stamp on the imperial desk, his smile slowly faded from his face, and said coldly: "Liu Yu's army is unstoppable, Dingling people are uprising, conquering Li Yang, Murong
It is said that people have been sent south to communicate with our court. Now Yao Chang and Qi Fu Guoren have held up the banner of righteousness. The pseudo-Qin is now in turmoil and the building is about to collapse. Xie Xuan and Huan Shiqian.
Zhu Xu jointly stated that he wanted to mobilize the whole country's troops again and attack the Central Plains again. What do you think?"
Sima Daozi said without thinking: "Brother, the battle between the north and the south has been four years, and the soldiers are exhausted. Although the battle of Feishui was a complete victory last year, he basically used up all his savings. The next Northern Expedition was still
I borrowed money and paid it back, but it is still a problem. Now the treasury and grain are hard to support the war ahead.”
Sima Yao heard this and nodded and said, "You have made sense. Since that's the case, I issued an edict: Huan Shiqian was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and returned to Jiangling; Zhu Xu took over as the governor of Yuzhou and returned to Shouyang; Xie Xuan returned to Huaiyin
When rectifying the army and practicing literature, you must not use rash weapons!”
At this time, Wang Ya, who was standing next to Wang Chen, raised her waist and said with a serious expression: "What if Xie Xuan refuses to obey the imperial edict?"
There was a silence in the hall. Maybe no one had considered this section, but Wang Ya was not exaggerating. Xie Xuan led his troops away all year round, and the planning and dispatching was all thanks to Xie An. Xie An is now called sick. It is said that no one has been seen. The court dispatched him.
Can the soldiers of the Northern Palace be mobilized? Since Jinting crossed the river, Wang Dun, Su Jun and Huan Wen have all gained their own troops. The lessons of the past are necessary to guard against
Sima Daozi snorted, "He thanked Xuan for daring!"
Wang Ya said quietly: "One Xie Xuan cannot make a climate. What if Huan and Xie families have different intentions?"
Sima Daozi chuckled and shook his head and said, "The Huan and Xie families have deep conflicts. How could they be willing to come together?"
Wang Ya said: "Things in the world are hard to predict, so you should not take it lightly."
Wang Chen said at this time: "It was impossible for them to come together, but if King Langya is too anxious, they can come together!"
Sima Daozi's face changed suddenly
Sima Yao's tone turned heavy and asked, "What are your good ideas? You are all my confidants. At this time, you will speak freely and don't be scruples."
Wang Ya said: "As long as Huan Xie is not a one-hearted person, it is easy to deal with. The key is to choose a suitable person who passes the imperial edict. This person who passes the imperial edict has a role. He must not only express His Majesty's meaning, but also be a qualified lobbyist."
"Who is the best place to go?"
"Wu County Prefect Wang Xun"
Sima Yao smiled relievedly. He understood Wang Ya's thoughts. Wang Xun had a great prestige among the Gaomen clans, and had been favored by Huan Wen. He encountered Xie An's exclusion, but he was also a very loyal person who could proclaim the imperial edict.
Even if he could suppress Xie Xuan, Huan Shiqian did not dare to act rashly, so he said, "So quickly summon Wang Xun to the capital, become the minister of the army, and declare an edict in front of the army!"
Sima Daozi agreed and said, "The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered Wang Xian to return home after he was sick. Your Majesty has approved the report. Who should replace his position?"
Sima Yao sighed: "Wang Xianzhi's brothers are rarely famous, they are unruly and romantic, but they are the most romantic. Unfortunately, Wang Hui's elegant character is unrestrained. I heard that he is not in charge of the affairs of the government in Jingzhou. I have summoned him to be the Minister of the Yellow Sect, but he actually abandoned his post and went to Jingdong.
Returning, he has all his talents, but his actions are not as good as his son-in-law Wang Xian's work in cursive scripts, good at painting, and good at painting, but he is sincere in his wishes. Unfortunately, God is jealous of talent. He heard that he is very sick. The above statement said that he is old and wants to go back to his hometown in Kuaiji
, I have to return to the mountains and forests, and I am determined to do it. I am very sorry. The candidates of the Zhongshu Ling must be like Zijing, with both fame and talent and knowledge, what do you think?"
Sima Daozi's eyes flashed and he said with a little excitement: "Wang Guobao is a prominent family. Your Majesty also said that the Wang family in Taiyuan has been loyal for generations. I recommend Wang Guobao as the Secretary of the Central Committee."
He just recommended Wang Chen to preside over the Ministry of Personnel and asked his brother to serve as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Sima Daozi is very close to the Wang family and the wind is too obvious!
Sima Yao didn't say anything, and said for a long time, "The Wang family in Taiyuan is not just his family."
Sima Daozi disagreed and replied: "Your Majesty, another branch, Wang Gong is a talent. Danyang Yin guards the capital and has a great responsibility. How can he be distracted from the palace? Although Wang Guobao's calligraphy is difficult to compare with Zijing, he can handle government affairs with great success."
Sima Yao pondered silently, and the hall was silent
Wang Ya thought in her heart that Wang Guobao was just a secretary, and was promoted to the Secretary of the Central Committee. It was too urgent to promote Langya King to be a nepotist. If he expressed his opposition, he would inevitably offend the powerful Langya King and who were about to be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel. He had a great future.
Wang Chen thought for a moment, and Wang Ya slowly said: "When talking about family background, calligraphy, and romantic affairs, I remembered someone, no less than Zijing, but he did not come from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but from Langya."
The white fan immediately appeared in Wang Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but smile. Wang Ya had already said his name, "Shi Zhong Wang Min!" Wang Ya continued in a peaceful voice: "You can let Wang Guobao be the Sui Zhong, watch
What does Your Majesty think if his talent and knowledge are used in the future?"
"Yeah!" Sima Yao looked at Sima Daozi and asked, "What do you think? Brother Yu!"
Sima Daozi swallowed his saliva and bowed, "Abide by the order!"
"By the way!" Wang Chen suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I remember something."
“But it’s okay”
"A few days ago, I received news that Cui Hao, the son of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Zhang Gun, the former prime minister of the Dayan Kingdom, all went to Liangzhou."
