high official

Chapter 904 Unpredictable
"..." As soon as Zhu Di said this, the three grand scholars all lowered their heads with different expressions.Jin Youzi's face was shocked and confused!Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi looked stunned, and there was still a hint of chill on the latter's face...

"Grandfather! Think twice!" Why didn't Zhu Zhanji do the same?He begged in despair.

"You'd better think about which two cobblers to send him there." Zhu Di glanced at him and said lightly.At that moment, the emperor's heart was as hard as a stone, absolutely beyond doubt!
Zhu Zhanji's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart. Knowing that Zhu Di's decision could not be changed, he could only settle for the next best thing, and don't let anyone make trouble for Wang Xian: "Wei Yuan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is an official official. , He has both ability and political integrity, and he is also Wang Xian's teacher. Sending this person to Shandong as an inspector is enough to restrain Wang Xian, make him behave, and not hinder him. He can make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Sun Er thinks he is the best candidate .”

"What do you guys think?" After hearing Taisun's words, Zhu Di looked at the three great scholars and King Zhao again.

"What His Royal Highness Taisun said is very true. Wei Yuan is indeed the best candidate." The three bachelors and Wei Yuan are Qingliu's friends, so naturally no one objected.

"His Royal Highness's selection is very appropriate," Zhao Wang didn't care about the selection of the envoy, and immediately followed Zhu Zhanji's words: "However, the selection of the capital is related to the military affairs of a province, and please let the emperor's sacred heart be dictatorial!"

"Grandpa Emperor..." Zhu Zhanji was extremely depressed. He knew that this time King Zhao had confirmed the emperor's pulse, and he was no match at all...

"That's it. Let Wei Yuan come to see me tomorrow." Zhu Di really didn't allow Zhu Zhanji to say more, so he said bluntly: "As for the candidate for the capital, Guo Yi, Marquis of Anyang, is a veteran of Jingnan. Let him go to Shandong."

"Yes." Everyone nodded in response. Zhu Zhanji had no objection when he heard that it was Guo Yi. This was one of the candidates he considered...

So they decided on two candidates who were about to take up the post, and they would face the Holy Spirit the next day, and after giving the opportunity in person, they would be able to leave.

Seeing that the whole thing was done, Zhu Zhanji still didn't give up, and asked tentatively: "Wang Xian also asked the imperial court to transfer troops to Shandong in case of accidents. I wonder what the emperor's grandfather wants?"

Zhu Di never allowed anyone to get involved in military affairs, so the three academicians and King Zhao remained silent, waiting for the emperor to express his opinion.

"There's no need for that." Zhu Di said lightly, "Not to mention that there is no chaos in Shandong yet, even if chaos does happen, it will be nothing more than a gathering of disorderly people. Shandong has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, which is more than enough." Pause Said: "Could it be possible that all of my [-] soldiers and horses were bought by the White Lotus Sect?!"

"Yes..." Zhu Zhanji's soul flew into the sky, and he followed others to salute and leave.

.

Coming out of the Hall of Qinzheng, King Zhao bowed his hands to Zhu Zhanji and the three academicians in a happy mood, and walked away.Zhu Zhanji stared at his back, his eyes were about to breathe fire!He had made a promise with Wang Xian before that he would definitely help him get the military and political power, and at the worst, he would send him a troop there. Now that everything has been ruined, how can he explain to Wang Xian!
"Your Highness, calm down." Jin Youzi comforted Zhu Zhanji softly: "It's not that you didn't try your best, it's because the emperor is too afraid of the prince..."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head dejectedly, if he really tried his best, then there is nothing to say?But did he really try his best?Zhu Zhanji couldn't deceive himself - he still cared too much about the emperor's attitude, and even risked annoying the emperor to fight for Wang Xian...

Forced to squeeze out a smile, Zhu Zhanji nodded, and left in a daze.

When the three grand scholars returned to the cabinet, they were also gloomy.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Jin Youzi sighed again and again: "It's abnormal to be so biased! Could it be that the Emperor really believed King Zhao's nonsense, thinking that the situation in Shandong is not so bad?!"

"On the contrary, I'm afraid that the emperor has decided that Shandong is hard to return." Yang Shiqi looked around and said in a low voice, "Shandong's problems did not happen overnight, but accumulated over decades. I'm afraid we have to make a mess first, and then we can bring order after the chaos!"

"Then what are you asking Wang Xian to do?!" Jin Youzi asked in horror.

"Because Wang Xian doesn't go, Shandong may not be in chaos for a while, but once he goes to Shandong, there will be chaos before his eyes!" Yang Rong sipped his tea and said in a low voice.

"What?!" Jin Youzi was a little confused, "You said that the emperor sent Wang Xian to Shandong on purpose to cause chaos in Shandong?"

"Since Shandong is doomed to chaos, of course early chaos is better than late chaos. Early chaos is small and easy to clean up; late chaos is big and difficult to clean up!" Yang Rong slowly explained.

"This... this..." Jin Youzi stammered in surprise, "Could it be that the emperor really did it on purpose?"

"Your Majesty, the master of Yingcha, who is rare in a hundred years, doesn't know that Lin San, the former leader of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, died at the hands of Wang Xian? There is also the King of Han, and Wang Xian is also an endless enemy! If you want to calm down Regarding the situation, whoever the emperor sends to Shandong is more suitable than sending Wang Xian! But why did the emperor choose Wang Xian?!" Yang Shiqi said quietly.

"That's right, the White Lotus Sect doesn't talk about it. The King of Han definitely hopes that Shandong will be in chaos, so he can take advantage of the troubled waters!" Jin Youzi said with deep conviction: "Others have gone to Shandong, and they can still show affection and reason to the King of Han. But with Wang Xian gone, the two sides will only meet each other in battle!"

"Hey..." After Jin Youzi finished speaking, he said sadly: "No wonder the emperor refuses to let Wang Xian take over Shandong's military affairs, and doesn't even give him any military power!" , I agree with this. But Wang Xian is a national scholar, so he shouldn't be treated like this!"

"Hey..." Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi shook their heads and remained silent, but in fact, the three of them knew very well, because Wang Xian and the crown prince were too close... The emperor asked Wang Xian to go to Shandong, and he could justifiably remove the crown prince's strong support in the capital. .If something goes wrong in Shandong's errand, the emperor can take advantage of the situation to get rid of Wang Xian.Of course, if Wang Xian is lucky enough to finish the errand, it will be great...

The three great scholars all marveled at the emperor's ruthless intentions... Now, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor has become more and more delicate. Although the battle for moving the capital ended in the emperor's victory.But the emperor won the argument and lost the hearts of the people, and now the government and the public are all following the prince's lead!Even though they are the emperor's close ministers and scholars, their hearts are towards the prince...

However, this is useless, because the military power and imperial command are firmly in the hands of the emperor, and the avant-garde guards of the prince's family have become empty; the leader of Jinyiwei, Wang Xian, was also transferred away from the prince and thrown into In this fire pit in Shandong.What worries the courtiers even more is that the relationship between the crown prince and the grandson has serious cracks. His highness the grandson has clearly sided with the emperor, drifting away from his father... and the king Zhao with ulterior motives , the king of Han with a wicked heart...

Such a chaotic and delicate relationship made the ministers tremble all the time, lest if they were a little careless, they would be buried in this canine court situation!After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital, the situation that was supposed to have a new look, but because of these messy relationships, seemed lifeless, like a puddle of mud, no one could move forward!

Under the stagnant water, everyone is waiting, everyone is secretly accumulating strength, and when the moment of breaking the game comes, they will show their fangs and bite the enemy's throat fiercely!Let the blood of your loved ones water that lofty dragon chair!

Will this Shandong be the place to break the game? !
.

In Shandong, imperial envoys go to the palace.The chief envoy, Chu Yan, came to Yingmao every day, asking for instructions early and reporting late, and he completely regarded himself as Wang Xian's subordinate.

"My lord, has the court's order arrived?" Chu Yan asked cautiously seeing that Wang Xian's complexion was not good today.

"Here we are." Wang Xian said indifferently: "The emperor scolded me, saying that I am a coward, and if I dare to mess around again, I will break my dog's legs."

"The emperor said that, it just shows that the lord is the emperor's confidant, and the relationship is a little far away, so he would never speak like this." Chu Yan hurriedly comforted Wang Xian, and then asked: "What else is said in the imperial decree?"

"Wei Yuan, a Hanlin scholar, is the new inspector, and Guo Yi, Marquis of Anyang, is the new capital." Wang Xian said with a gloomy expression. Now that he has completed the conquest of officialdom in Shandong, he naturally put away his cynical mask.

"Isn't this very good?" Chu Yan had asked Wang Xian before, who would he like to take over as the inspector and the capital, both of whom had been mentioned by Wang Xian.

"But the emperor rejected my request to send troops." Wang Xian sighed: "If you don't hold the knife handle in your own hands, you will always feel uneasy."

"Your Excellency, you are overwhelmed. Most of the officers and men in Shandong are still loyal to the imperial court. As long as they rectify well, they can still be trusted." Chu Yan comforted Wang Xiandao.

"I hope so." Wang Xian sighed again, rubbed his face vigorously and said, "Forget it, don't worry about these uncontrollable things. We have enough things at hand!"

"Yes. Your Excellency has proposed five measures to curb the White Lotus Sect, including uniting the squires and mutual protection. His subordinates have already made detailed rules." Chu Yan took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian took it over, carefully read it word by word, and told Chu Yan his opinion. It took a full hour to finalize the measures against the White Lotus Sect, "After the revision, it will be implemented in the whole province. It must be Every county magistrate who has failed in the assessment will take his black hat!" Wang Xian, an official below the fourth rank, can deal with it at will. After Liu Ben is taken down, there are no officials in Shandong that he can't move.

"Yes!" Chu Yan replied in a deep voice, got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Chu," Wang Xian also got up to see him off, and said with a stern expression, "What we have to do is to draw the bottom out of the pot, not to stop the boiling water. The White Lotus Sect must be weakened, but it must not stir up civil uprisings. Remember that!"

"Understood." Chu Yan nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, my lord."

Looking at Chu Yan's leaving back, Wang Xian sighed sadly and closed his eyes in pain.What he and Chu Yan said was just the tip of the iceberg. There are more things on his mind that cannot be explained to outsiders... Before he started to get rid of Liu Ben and Ma Zhong, he had received Zhu Zhanji's assurance that he would take over Shandong's military affairs Daquan or transferring the vanguard of the government army to Shandong, the two can at least help him do the same!But in the end, nothing was done...
