Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 974
However, even if it is opposition, these people dare not jump out and say it clearly, because after all, the Central Plains was once my Jin opposition site.

As long as we still bear the title of Jin, then taking back the former capital and galloping across the Central Plains is absolutely correct, and no one can object to it.

What's more, the current situation in the Central Plains is indeed chaotic. Di Qin, which was originally powerful and invincible, collapsed in an instant.

The various tribes that had been annexed by him also left one after another and began to look for their own territory. Of course, these tribes are still not stable now.

At such a good time, if Da Jin does not make progress, it will indeed be unreasonable.

Under such a background, when Wang Mi said that he wanted to fight, all the ministers in the court could only agree. Could they still say that he wanted to take back the ancestral land? Is this wrong?

This is absolutely correct!
Above the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, the interests of these top aristocratic families have always been the same, and they just want to maintain their various forces in Jiangzuo.

As long as this major premise still exists, their fights in the court will be small fights after all, and now they are arguing here, and it is just for the dominance of a court.

Wang Gong wanted to maintain his position, but on Wang Mi's side, in fact, no one planned to challenge his position.

Therefore, even if it is noisy, the scale will not be too large, and there will not be many scenes, but that is all.

And what about Wang Mi?

Naturally, he wouldn't take these petty fights to heart. What he was doing was making an enemy of the entire Dajin family.

It's something that breaks the balance!
It's a big deal that I, Wang Mi, only eat meat, and you can only get some bones!
Why do I, Langya Wang, want to talk about balance with you?Only strength is the power to break through all cages.

So you see, it is not Wang Mi who jumps out to fight Wang Gong now, but Mr. Fan.

In the end, Mr. Fan's fight can only be reduced to talking. However, Mr. Fan is a philosopher, and he will never lose in the aspect of talking.

All Wang Mi needs to do is to help from the sidelines so that Mr. Fan won't suffer.

"Wang Shilang is right, you don't look down on Wang Shilang, you also look down on the whole Beifu!"

As expected of a person who engages in philosophy, he is good at expanding the scope of attack!
Wang Mi suddenly felt that even if he didn't open his mouth, Mr. Fan could kill Wang Gong by himself.

With this big hat on, how dare Wang Gong continue?

Didn't you see He Wuji and their eyes were going to kill?
How dare Wang Gong admit it: "Fan Ayu, don't spit blood!"

"Beifu soldiers fought for the country, of course they have worked hard, how can this old man look down on them, this old man is talking about the prisoner offering ceremony, don't talk about it!"

"To the Empress Dowager, there is a reason for the old minister to say this, please allow the old minister to speak slowly."

Wang Zhenying, who was behind the bead curtain, couldn't wait a long time ago, and said at this moment: "But it's okay to say."

To be the queen mother, Wang Zhenying was still too young, and, before officially becoming the queen mother, she had almost no contact with the government.

It can be said that there is no experience.

So, she figured out a set of experiences by herself. Whenever she faced the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, when there were too many people, she would speak very little, and try to use short sentences to express her intentions.

Such a dignified and decisive appearance would at least not make the ministers in the court think that she was just a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

After getting permission, Wang Gong walked a few steps towards the center of the court hall and found a position where his peers could see him clearly.

"Beifu's successive battles and victories, Wang Shilang's command of troops well, and all the soldiers working together are all my blessings in the Jin Dynasty. However, the veteran thinks that it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony of presenting prisoners at this time."

"For one thing, there is a suspicion that it is a waste of money. The veteran heard that Wang Shilang has been busy in the general workshop for the past two days. It can be seen that he still wants to further strengthen the weapons and equipment of the Beifu. The veteran believes that this is the right way."

"If all the money spent on the prisoner offering ceremony is spent on making weapons, there will definitely be a lot of gains."

"That's the best use of everything."

"Two rules,"

There is actually a second clause, Wang Mi was shocked.

When Wang Gong gave this first reason, he immediately received admiration from many courtiers. Many of them did not agree with Wang Mi in everything.

They kept silent all the time because there was no leader leading them to attack Wang Mi.

But now, Wang Gong finally stood up, under the leadership of Uncle Guo, who could not be rejoicing, and immediately surrounded him?

However, they are still holding back, because Uncle Guo's second reason has not been finished yet.

"The prisoner presenting ceremony has existed since ancient times. However, our dynasty has been established in Jiangzuo for many years, and there are very few people who know the ancient rituals of the Central Plains in detail. The old minister knows that Wang Shilang has entrusted Fan with the presiding over the prisoner presenting ceremony. Gong, Fan Gong has always been erudite and proficient in ancient etiquette, there is nothing wrong with that."

"However, since this kind of ceremony is outdated, there is no need to raise it again now. The ceremony is just a show, and it is not worth mentioning in the face of a hearty victory. Whether it is there or not, whether it is done well or not, it doesn't matter. It will affect the glory of Beifu soldiers. My top priority now is how to make full use of the tens of thousands of Di Qin soldiers captured."

Ah this...

Unexpectedly, Wang Gong actually backhandedly pointed at Wang Mi, and sang a high-profile song for Beifu.

In this way, not only did more people agree with the court, but also Wang Zhenying's position could no longer stand firm.

Money is the most important thing!
This is true for Wang Zhenying, and it is also true for Wang Mi.

Who doesn't love money?
Who can not cherish money?
The imperial court needed money, and the Beifu also needed money. Money was indeed in high demand. Wang Gong performed well this time, with a precise vision, and hit Wang Mi's weakness with a single blow.

On this issue, Wang Zhenying's opinion is not important.Even if it is done, Wang Zhenying will not pay for it, and all the expenses of the ceremony are covered by Wang Mi alone.

Such a thing may be unbelievable to say, and no one believes it at all, and it is indeed the case in other courts.

However, it was different in the Jin Dynasty.

The imperial court here is indeed difficult, and the emperor here has just rushed to the street. A little milk baby can't decide anything at all.

During this embarrassing period of time, the Jin court's control over taxation became even weaker, and many small moneys failed to be handed over to the court, but turned around and flowed into the pockets of the aristocratic family.

This kind of embezzlement process is even aboveboard, and it is put on the bright side. When the Jiangzuo was smashed, the big aristocratic families occupied their fields, and the farmers who worked on the fields, the imperial court could not accept them at all. to a tax.

Therefore, in a sense, the current Langya Wang family is indeed richer than the Jin court.

If the people of the old Sima family want to live well, it depends on the faces of the major families.

It is necessary for the aristocratic family to be willing to transfer their income to the court, so that the old Sima family can have a meal.

As for the luxurious life, it depends on the attitude of the aristocratic families.

What kind of situation Wang Mi is facing now, if he wants to hold a large-scale prisoner offering ceremony, it will be purely self-supporting.

The better the ceremony is held, the more blameless it is in all aspects, the greater the expenditure of the Wang family.

Wang Mi is now the pillar of the Langya Wang family. Everyone knows that he is capable and powerful, so they dare not provoke him.

As a result, Wang Mi has spent a lot of money, and a lot of it was taken out of his own small coffers, and the brothers of the same clan did not dare to say anything.

However, that is only temporary and cannot last forever.

Everyone didn’t talk before, they were just swallowing their anger, but such a big event as the ceremony of presenting captives cost a lot of money, and it happened in Jiankang City, right under everyone’s noses. Will pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Before the external troubles were resolved, the internal troubles had already arisen. Even Wang Mi couldn't bear such a squeeze.

Wang Gong stabbed out with a sword, and looked at him coldly, with both complacency and viciousness in his expression.Apart from him, the other courtiers did not have a good attitude.

Especially brothers like He Wuji, who are holding their breath now, waiting for Wang Mi to fight back, their tone is smooth.

What will Wang Mi do?
For a while, the hall was very quiet, and occasionally there would be some sounds, either hiccups or coughs.

Perhaps there was the sound of grunting farts. Of course, the courtiers of the Jin Dynasty who paid attention to appearance and manners would not admit that they fart by themselves, and the situation in the court was so tense that those picky colleagues did not dare to find them out.

Wang Gong's fans grew rapidly, and some ministers who were originally on the sidelines saw that Wang Mi didn't reply for a long time, but Wang Gong's momentum gradually grew, so they immediately defected and praised Uncle Guo from time to time. Wise, Uncle Guo has a precise vision.

And Wang Shilang, why didn't he speak?
Could it be that he really wants to back down?

Everyone in Jingkou, as well as my brother Wang Xun, are anxious and nervous now, and really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Wang Mi's gourd.

At this time, even if Wang Gong is right, he can't retreat, otherwise the row of noodles will be lost!

Strictly speaking, the so-called prisoner offering ceremony was not so necessary in the first place, it was purely a product of face.

The battle was won, and all the rewards were given. For the soldiers of the Beifu, as long as the salaries were improved, those fancy ceremonies were dispensable.

This prisoner presenting ceremony was originally for the people of Jiankang City, as well as the dignitaries, to let them see the great achievements of the Beifu soldiers and recognize it.

And now, facing Wang Gong's provocation, how will Wang Mi respond?

This so-called prisoner offering ceremony has always been proposed by him alone, and it is not only the courtiers who are paying attention to his every move, Wang Zhenying behind the bead curtain is naturally no exception.

If Wang Mi doesn't speak again, Wang Zhenying will announce her resignation!

Fortunately, the moment before the Queen Mother lost control, Wang Shilang finally opened his mouth.

"Your Majesty is right. I didn't think long enough about this matter. As long as the imperial court can guarantee the rewards for the officers and men of the Northern Mansion, it's just a ceremony, so it doesn't matter."

"Children!"

"Have you thought it through?"

"All the preparations have been made. If you want to retire at this time, isn't the old man's hard work all in vain?"

The one who can't accept this kind of ending the most is Mr. Fan.

A prisoner presenting ceremony was the highlight moment of Mr. Fan. He had been looking forward to it ever since he took over this task.

In the past, old man Fan devoted himself to learning, and was not so enthusiastic about other things. As for the people in the court, they didn't think it was enough to win over their own people, so how could they think of old man Fan.

What's more, after his nephew Guobao was executed, many people who had a good relationship with Fan Ning gradually moved away from him.

Many of them approached Fan Ning for the sake of Wang Guobao and Sima Daozi.

Gather together when benefits come, and disperse when benefits go away. This is normal.

When Wang Mi retreated, Wang Gong straightened up.

"Wang Shilang is indeed the mainstay of our Great Jin Dynasty. At the critical moment, I am very pleased to be able to consider for the court."

Wu Di: When did I think about you, I was obviously thinking about my own pocketbook!

Now that he had expressed his attitude, Wang Mi did not make a sound. Fan Ning was still relentless and spit everywhere, but Wang Mi also stopped him.

There was no further development of the situation, and doubts appeared in He Wuji's eyes.

"All the lovers are loyal ministers and generals of my Great Jin. From now on, Wang Qing and others will continue to work together to protect my Great Jin."

"Xiao De'er, prepare the food and prepare the banquet."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhenying hugged the little Sima Dezong and retreated to the side hall. Under Xiao De'er's arrangement, the ministers began to walk towards the stairs below the corridor.

There is actually a banquet, which has not been treated for a long time.

Although the ministers who can stand in the court hall for a while are probably well-off and well-off, they don't care about this meal. The food in their family is not necessarily inferior to the banquet given by His Majesty the Emperor.

However, it would be nice to have a free meal.What's more, this is something that can be eaten immediately after the dynasty is over, who doesn't care about it?
Similar to the later generations, the time of the Great Jin dynasty was also very early, often before dawn, the ministers had to take transportation to the palace.

The reason why it is called a means of transportation is because it is much more difficult for the ministers of this era to travel than the ministers of later generations.

For example, officials in the Tang Dynasty didn't care even if they lived a little far from the Daming Palace. They could take a carriage or gallop on a horse.

The horse source in Datang is sufficient, and the roads throughout Chang'an City are flat and wide, which can fully meet the travel needs of dignitaries.

As for the officials of the Jin Dynasty, the time of going to court was not much later than that of the Tang Dynasty, they were almost the same, but they could only travel by ox carts, and even some poorer officials could not even afford Qingniu. Can ride a donkey to and from get off work.

Think about it, a handsome young man from an aristocratic family, who stands out in both appearance and posture, is going to perform a performance of riding a donkey backwards on the road in Jiankang City. That scene is very eye-catching to anyone who doesn't say a word.

In this way, it took a lot of time on the road, and I was still hungry, and I had to insist on standing in the carrot pit in the hall.

If these bitter court officials were allowed to go home to eat, the starving time would be even longer.
