Chapter 263 State affairs, state situation
The banquet dispersed, and the night was late, and the entire Xuanzheng Hall was silent. You could hear the sound of water droplets falling down along the copper dragon head mouth.
Several cabinet ministers lay on the ground and advised: "Your Majesty, the war will be settled. Xiangyang and Jiangling should focus on stability, cultivate moral policies and strengthen people's hearts. The court should send a capable minister to take charge."
Gao Wei took off his robe and clothes, covered his palms on the incense burner, and listened expressionlessly, and asked, "According to all the people, who should I send?"
The ministers looked at each other, and finally Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "I think that King Lanling has made outstanding achievements in military affairs and has always cultivated moral politics. With his prestige, he should be able to stabilize the southwest half of the wall!"
"That's it?" The emperor couldn't see the joy and anger clearly on his face.
When Zheng Yu saw the khan on his forehead, he said, "Of course it is not possible to rely on Lanling King. Your Majesty has said that the army is the army and the government is the government. I think another person should be sent as the deputy to assist the general in charge of government affairs."
King Lanling is a great scholar and a royal family. No matter what His Majesty’s real thoughts are, he must not let him take over the power or not.
As for Wang Lin, he was removed from it as soon as possible. In other words, Wang Lin had a criminal record. His Majesty said he believed him, but in fact, it might not be necessary. Giving a title of king is also a reward for his military achievements.
There are not many officials available in the court now, and even fewer can be transferred out. To whom the newly-captured territory is really a headache to be delivered.
"Do you have a suitable candidate to recommend me?"
Zheng Yu hurriedly bowed to the ground and said respectfully: "This is the dictatorial matter of Your Majesty's holy heart, and I dare not speak nonsense."
Gao Wei raised his hand and made him get up with a kind expression, "You and I are both monarchs and ministers, and teachers and friends. How can I not listen to the opinions of the ministers for such a major matter? It doesn't matter if you have anything to say."
Zheng Yu then stood up and pondered for a while before saying, "I think Fang Gongyi, the Minister of Personnel, is a man of good fortune, has always been arrogance, is famous, and knows military affairs, and should be able to take on this important task..." He carefully looked at the emperor's expression and continued, "If we want to stabilize the southwest half of the wall in a short period of time and manage the rear, I think Fang Gongyi is the most suitable candidate."
Gao Wei thought for a moment and nodded, "It's really appropriate to do things with caution. I asked him to do several errands before, and every one was done beautifully. I think he has the ability to be the deputy of the general."
He said again: "A month ago, Ping Jian, the governor of Pingzhou, gradually became poor, and he made three confession memorials in a row. He is old and I can't force him anymore. I originally wanted to let Fang Shenyan take over, but now it seems... I have to change someone."
Zheng Yu turned his eyes and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise, Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Youzhou, where our dynasty is located, we must not be careless. At present, Gao Baoning is in control of military affairs in the three states, without the name of a great governor, but with the reality of a great governor, it is time to find someone to give him his power."
"Gao Baoning has always been diligent and loyal, why would he say such words?" Gao Wei frowned slightly and looked unhappy.
Zheng Yu quickly said: "I am not instigating Your Majesty to suspect him, but he is now in charge of military affairs in the three states. This is not a long-term solution..."
Although the emperor arranged a slaughter of Di Fulian in Youzhou, how could he check and balance Gao Baoning? In Youyan land, heavy troops were hoarded. If Gao Baoning had any other ideas...
"It seems that someone is going to recommend it to me, so let's talk about it." Gao Wei glanced at him deeply, with an infinite meaning that seemed to be undetectable.
"I think Gao Feng, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, is a senior official of the Ministry of Revenue, and is young and strong, and can take on this position."
"Gao Jin? He joined the position last year, right? If he was released now as the governor of a state and a chief rank of the border, would his qualifications and age be too shallow?" Gao Wei frowned and pondered. Zheng Yu went on the railway while the hot: "Ambition is not about being old, and even the right prime minister often praises him... Moreover, Gao Jin is very good at the people's livelihood plan. Not everyone can do the national policy of winning over the barbarians. Only with qualifications can you do it."
The emperor nodded and smiled satisfied, "It's reasonable, then let's do what Zheng Qing said."
After the group left, Gao Wei was silent for a long time and sighed: "It's all their own little thoughts, it's rare for me to be a pure minister."
Zheng Yu’s advice just now may not have hidden his own little thoughts. Zhao Yanshen’s health is getting worse day by day. Who wouldn’t want to sit on the right prime minister’s seat in the pavilion? At this time, in order to pave the way, it is inevitable to form cliques.
Well, no one is perfect. Although Gao Wei is the emperor's honor, he cannot suppress all the little thoughts of the people below. It is obviously unrealistic to let them be patriotic and loyal to the emperor without conditions. He looked through the memorial for a while and suddenly asked, "By the way, have the Prince of Liang Xiao Cong and Yuwen Zhi settled it?"
Lu Ran said carefully: "Report to Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang, Xiao Cong, has been placed in the inn, and is treated more than the prince. As for the newly built mansion, time is too hasty and has not been completed yet. As for Yuwen Zhi, he has been imprisoned. Without His Majesty's permission, no one is allowed to approach and visit."
A sarcastic sneer flashed in Gao Wei's eyes and said lightly: "Good wine and good food are served, and I'm still useful to keep this person."
This time, the Zhou Kingdom was defeated, and the domestic situation would inevitably be fierce, and all the spearheads would be directed at Yuwen Hu, and there would be no chaos in the country.
Although Yuwen Zhi cannot support the wall, his identity is there after all, and his status is noble and he is Yuwen Tai's parent-child... It may not be a useful knife if it is used well.
Although he made some arrangements in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he intensified the struggle between Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Yong, and exposed the trump cards of both sides more or less, it was impossible to expand the influence.
Of course, with the current strength of Northern Qi, there is no need to be afraid of what the Northern Zhou can do to him. The arrangements that should be made have been almost completed.
Many things, such as ethnic integration, such as gathering of tribes, and decentralizing the six towns, are actually just one step away.
At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty had been completely exposed to the world's vision, and it had unprecedented vitality, and it had fought south and north, strengthened its strength like a snowball.
It is like a cyclone lurking in the dark, slowly waiting for the wind and clouds to gather, expanding into a huge storm that can tear everything apart!
The candlelight swayed, and behind the sky-blue curtain, it was faintly wide, and no one dared to breathe heavily. The leak was still dripping, Lu Ran reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."
"Wait a little longer." Gao Wei looked at a memorial in his palm, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. "This Wang Cao is such a talented person. Where is he now?"
Lu Ran thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, he came to Jinyang with the Prince of Liang."
