Chapter 140 Does Mr. Wenhe have a plan?

"Maybe His Majesty just wants to get something else, and it seems that His Majesty has already got what he wants." Jia Xu said sitting opposite Zheng Ming.

Zheng Ming's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jia Xu.

With such a great god in front of him, why is he wasting his brain cells?

"Mr. Wenhe, what do you think His Majesty's purpose is?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know the specific purpose, but I feel that what His Majesty wants should be something special, something that Da Zhou will not let go easily."

"His Highness said before that His Majesty seems to be planning a big event, and it is very likely that this thing is related to His Majesty's big event."

"Your Majesty is stupid, please forgive me."

Zheng Ming rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Wen He, don't be modest."

If you are stupid, then I am not a fool.

It is normal for Jia Xu not to be able to analyze it. If he can analyze it without the main information, then he is not a counselor, but a fortune teller.

However, there is one thing Jia Xu said that Zheng Ming didn't expect, which is Zheng Qingsong's previous operation.

A national war involving hundreds of thousands of troops started just because of a mission?
This war has not been right from the start.

Thinking back now, Zheng Ming felt that Zheng Qingsong might have been responsible for that mission.

Even his younger brother was directly killed, so ruthless!
Thinking about it this way, the front and back are connected.

Zheng Qingsong wanted something from Dazhou, but he couldn't ask for it explicitly, and Dazhou would not hand it over easily, so he intercepted and killed the mission, using this as a reason to march into Dazhou. After a big battle, Da Zhou had to succumb.

Any land cession and compensation are just a bonus.

"This king is becoming more and more curious about Father's plans."

Thinking about this clearly, Zheng Ming said softly.

However, Jia Xu said: "His Royal Highness's top priority is to find a way to keep Lingyuan Mansion."

Zheng Ming's expression froze slightly.

Damn, forget about it!
The peace talks between Dazhou and Dali ended, and thirteen mansions were ceded, including Lingyuan Mansion.

This also means that Lingyuan Mansion will belong to Dali in the future.

And he is only the king of Shanhai County, so there is no reason to occupy a mansion.

"Mr. Wen He has a clever plan?" Zheng Ming asked.

Since Jia Xu proposed it, he naturally had some ideas.

"Your Highness can recommend Mr. Xin to be an official in the court, and serve as the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture."

Zheng Ming frowned slightly, and said, "But Mr. Xin has no fame, even if this king recommends him, it doesn't conform to the court selection mechanism."

"As long as His Majesty agrees, any rules can be broken," Jia Xu said.

"And His Highness wants to hand over the navy."

Now Zheng Ming was even more dissatisfied, he didn't even want to hand over the Lingyuan Mansion to the court, let alone the navy.

Jia Xu continued: "Currently, the Shanhai County Navy is the only marine navy in Dali, and Lingyuan Mansion is the only coastal area in Dali apart from Shanhai County. All the ministers in the court will be dissatisfied with this."

"If His Highness doesn't hand it over, he will definitely become the public enemy of many forces in the court."

Interests are moving.

With the precedent of Shanhai County, the whole Dali knows that Haimao makes money, which force doesn't want a piece of the pie?

It's just that before Zheng Ming was only tossing around in Shanhai County, although they were greedy, there was nothing they could do.

But Lingyuan Mansion is different.

Zheng Ming has no reason or qualification to occupy Lingyuan Mansion.

"Just being the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture is not enough!" Zheng Ming said in a deep voice.

Using [-] sailors and the entire Lingyuan Mansion to exchange Xin Qiji's official position as a magistrate, this deal is too loss-making.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Even if His Highness handed over the navy and Lingyuan Mansion to the court, they can still belong to His Highness."

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what Jia Xu meant.

Sure enough, he is a fine person, and he only thinks of crooked ideas.

But it doesn't matter if the idea is crooked or not, as long as it works.

The navy is given to Chaotang, but the officers and men of the navy are all his people. Even if Chaotang strengthens the navy, the part he can control will only increase and not decrease.

The same is true for Lingyuan Mansion, as long as Xin Qiji occupies the position of magistrate, then the whole Lingyuan Mansion will not belong to him.

Moreover, Lingyuan Mansion is next to Shanhai County, so it should not be too easy for Zheng Ming to intervene.

With such an operation, Zheng Ming can not only get the approval of the cheap Lao Tzu and the court officials, but also use the court to strengthen the navy and Lingyuan Mansion.It can also allow Chaotang to share the pressure of Shanhai County in the sea.

And this situation does not affect the evaluation of the system, such as Siyuan Kingdom, Siyuan Kingdom still belongs to the Dongying Dynasty, and the nominal owner is still that daimyo, but the system still counts Siyuan Kingdom in its luck value.

So as long as Zheng Ming actually controls the Navy and Lingyuan Mansion, it doesn't matter whether he has a name or not.

"Then follow what Mister said." Zheng Ming said with a smile.

"Your Highness is wise." Jia Xu complimented.

……

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zheng Qingsong looked at the memorial sent by Zheng Ming, and said with a smile: "This kid is quite smart."

"This is what His Highness should do." Eunuch Wei laughed.

"It's rare for him to be so honest." Zheng Qingsong said casually.

Although he doesn't mind the princes fighting, it doesn't mean he has no bottom line.

If Zheng Ming really occupied Lingyuan Mansion, he really had to think about how to deal with Zheng Ming.

But now that Zheng Ming took the initiative to hand over the Lingyuan Mansion and the navy, he felt very relieved.

"Recruit the cabinet into the palace." Zheng Qingsong said.

"Yes!" Eunuch Wei replied.

Soon, four cabinet ministers came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"How is the arrangement between Yunnan Province and Lingyuan Mansion?" Zheng Qingsong looked at the four of them and asked.

Zhang Lingzheng stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet's opinion is that Yunnan Province will continue to retain the original plan, Lingyuan Mansion will be merged into Beishan Province, and the court will send officials to manage it."

Zheng Qingsong nodded slightly, this is a matter of course, there is nothing to discuss.

"Who did the officials pick?" he asked.

Zhang Lingzheng took out a memorial and handed it to Zheng Qingsong, saying: "Currently only the officials of Yunnan Province have been drawn up, and the officials of Lingyuan Mansion have not been drawn up yet."

Zheng Qingsong opened the memorial and glanced casually.

This kind of matter can be dealt with by the cabinet. In fact, he does not need to ask specifically.

"Old Liang Ge, how about Xin Qiji?" He asked suddenly.

Liang Songnian was surprised, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xin has a great talent in the world, and he will help the time and the future."

"Oh, it must be extraordinary to be so respected by Mr. Liang Ge." Zheng Qingsong said with some surprise.

He understands Liang Songnian's temper, it's smelly and hard, and he always speaks out to persuade him.

People are divided into groups, and things of a feather flock together. It is not unreasonable for Liang Songnian and Song Yanneng to become friends.

But Liang Songnian is also an arrogant person, he will not praise someone casually.

"If that's the case, let him be the magistrate of Lingyuan Prefecture. We'll see if he's talented or not." Zheng Qingsong said flatly.

Liang Songnian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The other three remained silent, looking down at their noses.

They all knew in their hearts that Xin Qiji belonged to Zheng Ming, and the cabinet had already formed a tacit agreement with Zheng Ming, so they just ignored him, because it was useless to ask.
