Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 152 Song Gongwen's ambition, the coast is in danger! 【Ask monthly ticket】

And for these.

Song Gongwen didn't care about it.

What he thinks in his heart is to do his best for the country.

As for the size of the power, there is no deliberate desire to pursue it.

It's just that if you want to do certain things, especially to make a country better and better, you must have power in your hands.

Just as he discussed with Zhang Zhengming at the beginning, with Zhang Zhengming's reputation, he will continue to pave the way and expand Song Gongwen's influence.

Now, this plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Song Gongwen is no longer what it used to be.

Ignored by colleagues.

Instead, he has truly become a pivotal figure.

Together with the cabinet colleagues, they also need to be treated seriously, let alone other officials in the court.

Especially after experiencing this time, the gentry went to Beijing to stop the reform, but he caught them all in one go.

Song Gongwen's reputation became better and better, and the court officials also saw his iron-blooded skills.

Everyone is in awe of it and dare not make mistakes.

At the same time, the gentry were arrested.

This also means that the reforms implemented in Jiangnan will hardly be hindered.

The only thing worth paying attention to is whether Wang Shouyuan, who is the inspector of Liangjiang and the hardcore gentry faction, will choose to take action during this process.

Although Wang Shouyuan's official position is not high, he is indeed the leader of the gentry, and he can be said to be very powerful.

If you continue to stop the reform at this time, it will still bring trouble to Song Gongwen.

But in the eyes of those officials in the court.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were hit hard because of this visit to Beijing.

Even if Wang Shouyuan objects now, it will not help.

However, once the reform was successfully implemented in the Jiangnan area.

It is only a matter of time before the whole world implements the appropriation of the land into the mu.

As long as it succeeds, no matter what, Song Gongwen will leave a strong mark in the history.

The cabinet members present naturally admired him very much.

but.

For these, Song Gongwen only responded slightly.

In his view, all his achievements were accomplished with the help of His Majesty and the teacher, so he didn't have the slightest admiration in his heart.

On the contrary, he also felt that as his influence grew, he needed to do more in the future.

After all, with great power comes great responsibility.In Song Gongwen's heart, he only wanted to serve the country.

What he wants is for Wei to truly dominate the Eastern Continent!

The power is great, but it is more convenient to act.

It's just in his heart.

But some emotion.

He has indeed received a lot of respect.

But all of this is based on the fact that the teacher is accused.

The teacher uses his posthumous name to pave the way for himself, so in the future, he must do better.

Soon, the other three cabinet scholars finished their compliments and returned to their positions to start preparing for today's imperial meeting.

In the past month, nothing major happened.The problem of the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River going to Beijing has been resolved.The two projects of the Grand Canal and Wei Zhidao are also proceeding in an orderly manner without any problems.

Therefore, they don't have many things to report, it's nothing more than those few things.

Of course, the coast has been a bit shaky lately.

Zhao Jiguang has already signed up.

It is necessary to report back to His Majesty, how to deal with it.

After all, this relationship is not an ordinary pirate, but the remnants of the former royal family.

If one is not good, it will affect the court situation of the entire Wei Dynasty, so it must not be sloppy.

"Are they all here?"

At this time, Wei Yunyi walked into the imperial study from the door, followed by Wang Jin who had just finished his rest.

Seeing this, everyone stood up one after another, and said respectfully: "My minister sees Your Majesty!"

"Okay, don't be too polite, let's all get up."

Wei Yunyi smiled and signaled everyone to get up.

Then go to the main seat and sit down.

And then, according to the usual practice, each will report some recent major events.

What about the war in the north, and the recently established Gaoyang Protectorate.

As for the others, they are all small things, nothing unusual.

But after talking about the Gaoyang Protectorate.

Wei Yunyi remembered that his brother-in-law didn't seem to have gone to his post yet.

After all, he had just won a big battle outside, so he should stay in the capital to rest more.

It's just that it's almost the same now, so he directly ordered his brother-in-law to go to the post as soon as possible, just out of sight and out of mind.

If the other party hadn't brought people to kill Gao Yang suddenly, he would have ruined his luck long ago.

We have to wait until now.

The great scholars present naturally had no opinion on this, as this had already been decided long ago.

As for Song Gongwen, even though he was a little bit reluctant to part with his son, but think about it, the Gaoyang Capital Protectorate was first established, and someone really needed to take charge of the overall situation.

My son does not have much experience and talent in governing the region, but there will be a large number of officials who will follow him to the post, so there will definitely be no problems.

Furthermore, Gaoyang Kingdom had just been destroyed not long ago, so there must still be some resistance forces.

With a son, effective suppression can also be carried out.

At the same time, you can also conduct military training.

Lay some foundations for the subsequent dispatch of troops to the grassland.

Soon, some small things have been resolved.

Minister of the Ministry of War came out, took out a note, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the note handed over by Zhao Jiguang, the Commander-in-Chief of Haizhou. It just arrived today. It is said that in the coastal area recently, there are remnants of the former royal family stirring up trouble."

"There are still a large number of pirates responding, and now they have occupied some islands, and they may threaten my coastal people at any time."

After finishing speaking, he respectfully presented the notebook with both hands.

The navy is also the army of Wei.

Generally speaking, ordinary memorials naturally have to go through the Ministry of War.

In addition, the current minister of the Ministry of War is still a cabinet scholar, so he should indeed submit this report.

And Wei Yunyi frowned after hearing these words.He had heard about the pirates before, but he didn't care much about it.

After all, those pirates threaten the coastal areas every once in a while.It's just that looking at the memorial of my brother-in-law now, the situation is even worse than imagined.

Even the former royal family's desires and sins are involved, and a big move is obviously brewing.

These people have always been a worry in Wei's mind.

Although the strength is not strong.

But in the end, it was left from the previous dynasty, so no matter what, they must all be wiped out.

Wei Yunyi felt that the remnants of the former royal family, after more than a hundred years of development overseas, became more and more powerful and conquered many pirates. Attack.

Although neither was successful, it also caused a great disaster.

You should know that those are pirates who do all sorts of evil.

I don't know how many people along the coast were slaughtered.

It's just these, the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty are hiding behind, and they haven't really come out.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.Because those people always look forward to the day when they can counterattack the Central Plains.

If the reputation of massacring the people is involved, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on future plans.

Of course, no matter what, Wei Yunyi has to do now.

That's how to solve this kind of thing.

In fact, if he wants to be a foolish king, he can just ignore it.But the problem is that those pirates are extremely cruel, and it is impossible for him to drag the common people into the water just because he wants to curb the luck of Great Wei.

Therefore, after a rough thought, Wei Yunyi spoke up, and said: "Then let Zhao Jiguang pay attention to the movements of the pirates. When it is critical, he can decide whether to send troops or not!"

In fact, he was very clear about the reason why his brother-in-law presented this memorial.

What is needed is to have the power to start a war at any time.

Because in Wei's military system.

Except for the South and North.

It is necessary for the market to resist the outside world, and it can launch a war outside at any time.

Other garrisons, including naval divisions, must obtain the permission of the court if they want to take the initiative to use troops to fight.

This can prevent some rewards and start a war anytime and anywhere, which can be regarded as curbing the power of generals.

Now the pirates are active, and there are signs of attacking the coastal areas.

He made this decision to protect the people.

of course.

Wei Yunyi knew it very well.

My brother-in-law has just taken office as commander-in-chief of Haizhou.

The first half of his life was almost spent on flat ground, fighting against the grassland army.

Even with some experience, it might be difficult to gain the upper hand at sea.

That's why Wei Yunyi agreed with him to fight against the pirates.

Thinking about how much they can fight even if they fight?

Could it be possible to directly destroy the pirates?

And his expectations for his brother-in-law.

It's just to prevent the pirates from going ashore and prevent the people from suffering innocent disasters.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Next to him, Lin Yuansong, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not have any objection to this.

Pirates have always been a confidant in the coastal areas, and every once in a while, they will go ashore to plunder.It's a pity that the navy is not strong enough to completely suppress the pirates.

He thought, Zhao Jiguang is in charge of the navy now, and he hopes that the other party can change this situation.

After the affairs of the Ministry of War were over, Wei Yunyi just wanted to speak.

But unexpectedly at this time.

Wang Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up suddenly, and immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I also have a brochure here, which was handed over by Chen Xuance."

Chen Xuance?
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was taken aback.

It wasn't until now that they remembered that this was the first new champion of the Tianqi dynasty.

He had already been sent to Tiandu Kingdom by His Majesty before, and wanted to ease the relationship between the two countries.

Now counting the days, it should be almost to the destination.

really.

Wang Lun continued at this moment: "Chen Xuance said that he has already entered the territory of Tiandu Kingdom. He said that this time, he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and allow the two countries to have good relations again. However, he also said that it may take some time. time."

Although Tiandu Kingdom is adjacent to Great Wei, the distance from the capital is still very long.

Moreover, several snow-capped mountains have to be crossed, and the conditions can be said to be very difficult.

After hearing Wang Lun's words, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Originally the champion of the new division.

And it is still the first in this dynasty, which can almost be regarded as a promising future.

But who knows that he spoke at the court meeting that day, and was finally appointed as an envoy.

This encounter made people very helpless.

But look at the tone of the other party on the note.

Except for Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming, the few bachelors present couldn't help shaking their heads.

The relationship between the two countries has been deteriorating for decades. How can it be improved by going on a mission?
Especially King Ah Li, who was tyrannical and ambitious towards Wei, wanted him to retreat and continue to establish a friendly relationship between the two countries. No matter how you looked at it, it was somewhat impossible.

This breath is too big.

As for Wei Yunyi, after hearing this.

I also thought so in my heart.

Of course, what he hopes is that Chen Xuance can make the relationship between Great Wei and Tiandu Kingdom worse and worse.

Originally, the national strength of the current Great Wei was rising, and it would undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket to find ways to contain it from within the country. We had to find ways from the surrounding countries.

Back then, Gao Yangguo was also given high hopes by himself, but who knew it would be so unrestrained.

In less than a month, it was directly wiped out.

But Tiandu Kingdom is different.

The book is rich in resources.

In addition, I didn't send troops, I just sent a sycophant who can flatter me, just to achieve this goal.

Now, looking at this situation, it should be as expected.

But only the relationship with Tiandu deteriorated.

Then Dawei will undoubtedly be under pressure.

It would be great if Tiandu Kingdom could still send troops at such a time.

As for whether it will pose a threat to the people of Wei, Wei Yunyi is not worried about it at all.

Because in Tiandu, troops can only be sent from the Wusi area, and Wusi has a vast land and few people, not to mention a hundred miles around, sometimes a thousand miles around, and there are no people to be seen, and it is almost impossible to threaten the people.

And the Wusi area belongs to the territory of the Great Wei, if it is invaded at this time.

The luck of Great Wei will undoubtedly be weakened.

It can be said.

For Chen Xuance, Wei Yunyi also had expectations.

Immediately, with a smile on his face, he continued: "Okay, he is indeed the number one scholar hand-picked by me. It's really good. Wang Lun, please give me a reply and say that I have great confidence in him. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as the relationship between the two countries If the relationship between them is on the right track, he, Chen Xuance, is the hero of our Great Wei!"

The other party is the treacherous minister talent that he is optimistic about. In many cases, he must show preference.

It's just that the Minister of Rites was taken aback immediately after hearing the words.

No way?
Your Majesty really believes that Chen Xuance can bring the relationship between Great Wei and Tiandu Kingdom back on track?

At this moment, he couldn't help but want to say something, but after thinking about it, it's better not to say.

After all, Chen Xuance has arrived in Tiandu Kingdom now.

The wood is done.

Either way, let the other party try first.

As for Chen Xuance, as an envoy of the Great Wei, after arriving in Tiandu Kingdom, although there will be some troubles, his life will definitely not be in danger.

After all, behind him, but relying on the entire Great Wei.No matter how tyrannical King Ah Li was, he didn't have the guts to kill him, unless he wanted to provoke a real war between the two countries.

Although Tiandu Kingdom is a powerful country in the Eastern Continent, compared to the Great Wei, it is still weaker.

King Ali really wanted to take back that disputed area.

But it doesn't mean that they dare to start a real war.

So everyone present.

Neither Wei Yunyi nor the others will worry about each other.

Especially Song Gongwen and Zhang Zhengming looked at each other at this moment, because only the two of them knew the purpose of Chen Xuance's trip to Tiandu Kingdom.

Whether it succeeds or not, it will not do any harm to Wei.

And after the Minister of Rites reported back.

All the great scholars present finally had nothing else to do.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi knew it was time for him to speak!
