high official

Chapter 1131

"Can you say something else?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes bored.

Wu Wei thought for a while, and could only add another sentence: "If they are stronger, it will be difficult for us to take it easy..."

"Is this different..." Wang Xian almost choked to death without a mouthful of water.

After Wang Xian finished coughing, Wu Wei said seriously: "My lord, don't be blindly optimistic. In fact, this time, we are not the only winners."

"En." Wang Xian nodded, deeply agreeing with Wu Wei's words. "The performance of the civil servants this time was unexpected. I didn't expect them to do this before."

"Yes, and the subordinates faintly felt that even we were in Yang Shiqi's calculations, and it was because he predicted that we would definitely make a move that he dared to be so unscrupulous." Wu Wei said softly.

"That's right, he is not only fighting for time with the nobles, but also for time with us." Wang Xian said with deep conviction: "Before I return to the capital, the power must be transferred from the outer court to the inner court, creating a fait accompli. I can't help it..."

Wang Xian had to lament the powerful inertia of history. He himself, a butterfly, was already able to interfere, but he still couldn't change the rise of the cabinet.It's just that no matter how shrewd Yang Shiqi is, he never expected that he would personally open the magic box of the eunuch intervening in politics!Don't forget, the inner court includes not only the cabinet, but also the eunuch institution!
But that’s all for later, and Wang Xian is becoming more and more lazy to take care of this leisurely mind. He said with emotion: “Sometimes, I really admire these civil servants. Give it a little sunshine and it will be brilliant, give it a little rain and it will grow."

"Your Excellency is absurd." Wu Wei said softly.

"I'm not praising you..." Wang Xian rubbed his forehead weakly.

"The subordinate understands. The subordinate is saying that the adults think too highly of them." Wu Wei said indifferently: "Although those civil servants are dancing happily, they are actually weak, and it is easy to kill any of them."

"Yes, they are indeed weak as individuals, but as a whole, they are indestructible." Wang Xian smiled wryly, "Even if the dynasty changes, these people are still needed to govern the world." After a pause, Wang Xian sighed and said: "And history has proven countless times that if you want ordinary people to live a stable life for a few days, you still have to rely on a government dominated by civilians."

"Is this the reason why my lord doesn't let Yang Shiqi move?" Wu Wei looked at Wang Xian.

"Yes." Wang Xian did not deny it, nodded and said: "Besides, he, Mr. Yang, is not a threat right now."

"In my humble opinion, it is right to erase him at this time." Wu Wei still wanted to insist.

"I don't want to seize the country, so there's no need to eliminate all threats, right?" Wang Xian frowned.

"Grandpa, people have immediate worries without long-term concerns." Wu Wei said in a deep voice.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "That's the matter."

"Yes..." Wu Wei sighed, this is what he couldn't understand Wang Xian the most.But right now, I can only leave it alone, and change the subject: "Xue Huan, what do you plan to do with the Lord?"

"Bring him here." Wang Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and frowned slightly.

.

After a while, Xue Huan, who was tied up by Wuhuada, came in front of Wang Xian under the escort of Jin Yiwei.

"Kneel down!" Seeing Xue Huan raising his head rebelliously, Jin Yiwei yelled angrily, and was about to force him to the ground.

"Stop!" But Wang Xian stopped him and said, "Untie him."

Jin Yiwei naturally obeyed Wang Xian's order, and quickly untied Xue Huan from the rope. Xue Huan rubbed his wrist, looked at Wang Xian expressionlessly and said, "Don't do this, if you want to kill, you have to cut it quickly."

"Sit down!" Seeing Xue Huan's angry face, Wang Xian suddenly shouted angrily.

The corners of Xue Huan's mouth twitched a few times, and he actually sat down obediently.Although he is rebellious and full of hatred, it has nothing to do with Wang Xian. In his heart, Wang Xian is still his boss and his eldest brother.

"You all go out." Wang Xian signaled Jin Yiwei to retreat.Only he and Wu Wei were left in the room, talking to Xue Huan.

Jin Yiwei was worried that Bawang Xue would violently injure others, so he hesitated worriedly.

"What are you worrying about, here are all brothers who depend on each other for life and death!" Wang Xian frowned slightly, and several guards in Jin Yi hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Wang Xian's words seemed to have touched Xue Huan, reminding him of those days of fighting side by side with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the disrespect on his face was gradually replaced by sentimentality.Is there anything more sad for a hot-blooded man than siblings turning against each other?

"Why, do you have a different opinion?" Wang Xian glanced at Xue Huan, and said arrogantly: "If you have an opinion, you have to keep it!"

"My lord, we are each masters, are we still brothers?" Xue Huan said bitterly.

"I've never seen such a solid-minded person from your old Xue family!" Wang Xian said angrily, "The father and son have reconciled as before, and you still have to continue playing rough with me!"

"What?!" Xue Huan was struck by lightning. He was arrested early yesterday, so he naturally didn't know the subsequent development of the matter.

"Can I lie to you?" Wang Xian said indifferently: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness Taisun knelt outside Qianqing Palace for a whole day, expressing that he would change his past mistakes and start a new life, and finally won the emperor's forgiveness, allowing him to go back and study with peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about being robbed of your seat.”

Although what Wang Xian said was plain, Xue Huan heard every word like a knife, piercing his heart with blood.He pinned his hopes on the grandson who avenged his father, but he completely broke his oath and confessed to the emperor!This made Xue Huan feel that he had been deceived, betrayed, and abandoned!

"Hey!" Xue Huan slapped the armrest of the chair with hatred, and with a click, the hard rosewood armrest was broken into several pieces!
Wang Xian looked at Xue Huan calmly, and after he had finished venting, he said softly: "I am also very sad about your father's matter. The old marquis has treated me well, but I can't help him. I can only keep him. son, leave a line of incense for the old Xue family..."

Wang Xian's statement was very ingenious, he didn't avoid Xue Lu's matter, instead he directly used Xue Lu to talk about it, hitting Xue Huan's heart directly!

This trick really worked, Xue Huan's tears couldn't stop streaming down, and he howled in a low voice: "I'm such a waste. I can't avenge my father, and I have to kill the old Xue family." Since even Zhu Zhanji shrank It's a headache, and revenge is naturally impossible. Xue Huan's one-threaded head is finally worried about the incense of the old Xue's family.

His father had two sons, the eldest, Xue Xun, died in Jiulongkou at a young age, and they haven't married yet...

"Why can't you understand people's words?" Wu Wei couldn't help scolding: "I didn't listen to what the adults said, do you want to keep you?"

"I'm planning to rebel, and I'm colluding with the imperial guards, intending to murder the emperor..." Xue Huan wiped his tears and looked forward to Wang Xian: "Can this be kept?"

Wang Xian and Wu Wei looked at each other and laughed loudly. Wang Xian covered his stomach with one hand, pointed at Xue Huan with the other, and said with a smile, "You, you, will you die if you are not honest?"

Wu Wei also had a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Didn't you not do anything? Why did you say everything in your heart?"

"I..." Xue Huan didn't have enough head, scratched the top of his head and said: "It is true that I have recruited a group of guards, and I made an appointment with them to listen to my orders, but before I went out, I was blocked in the room by Jin Yiwei. "

"Okay! Don't bother!" Wang Xian's tears came out of his smile, and he laughed and cursed while wiping his tears: "With your intelligence, you dare to imitate others and rebel!"

"You guys didn't do anything, that's enough." Wu Wei patiently explained, "Since we didn't catch the current situation, we can only rely on confession and evidence. After rigorous interrogation, Jin Yiwei found nothing. These people can only be released without charge.”

"That's fine too..." Xue Huan's eyes widened, and he finally realized what it means to have someone in court.In the end, he asked with some concern: "But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a blatant cover-up, right?"

"It's not something you worry about." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xian's mouth. For a person who was charged with killing the king and the king, the mere crime of covering up is really a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

"Although the lord can protect you, you can't just let you go like this. That's too disrespectful to the emperor and the court." Wu Wei worried that Wang Xian would be too generous, so he hurriedly said: "You guys You have to go to the Nine Frontiers first, and with your family's relationship in the army, you won't suffer too much if you go there, and I'll find a way to transfer you back after a few years."

"That's no problem, I'll go to Guyuan." Sure enough, Xue Huan didn't care about the Nine Frontiers, and rather than wasting his life in the capital, he yearned to make contributions in the frontier fortress.

But Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Don't go to Jiubian, let's go to Cochin."

"Jozhi?" Both Xue Huan and Wu Wei were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Wang Xian to mention this place.Xue Huan said in a muffled voice: "Didn't you hear that the old emperor thought it was too expensive and planned to withdraw troops from the province?"

Cochin Chief Envoy was established in the fifth year of Yongle, under the jurisdiction of 36 prefectures, 180 states, and more than [-] counties, which is probably the future Vietnam.Emperor Yongle sent troops to conquer this area, directly ruled it, and established a political system exactly the same as that of the mainland, with the provincial yamen as the provincial yamen, and the government, prefecture, The central government directly governs the county, and adopts the method of changing customs and promoting Confucianism, in order to incorporate the people here into China.

This method of assimilation was originally no problem. The Chinese nation used this method to gradually expand its territory from the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin, and then to Lingnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou... If it persists, Annan and even the entire Central South The peninsula is the territory of the Chinese nation.

However, the conquest of Annan was not smooth. There are reasons why Annan's original rulers were unwilling to hand over the country, and why the officials they sent were corrupt and incompetent, which led to the rebellion of officials and the people. The army did not regard Cochin as its own territory, burned, killed and looted wantonly, which aroused national hatred.But these are not big problems that cannot be solved. As long as the right medicine is prescribed and persistence is made, the chief envoy of Jiaozhi will surely become an inseparable part of the territory of Ming Dynasty.
