Kingdom of Another World - Chapter 335
During the change of Kyoto, Zhao Qianyuan sought to win in the insurance, but his victory was extremely tragic. Almost all levels were seriously damaged. The departmental systems of chaotang, forbidden army and internal defense were damaged and fragmented! If Zhang Zhou had not lived up to his high expectations, outstanding performance and turned the tide, several royal children would not have been spared.
However, everyone is qualified to grieve, but Zhao Qianyuan is not. Even if he is hit physically and mentally, he still needs to cheer up, sit in front of the stage and preside over the overall situation, and try to clean up the situation and rally as soon as possible!
In the imperial study, Zhao Qianyuan is listening to the memorials of several ministers.
“… the rebel had a ship on the Jinghe River long ago. When the horse arrived, it was gone! Mr. Huan went to hunt down, and there was no news yet!” a eunuch in the guard office replied.
Although it is a long distance from Kyoto to Nanjiang, it is basically a waterway. It is almost impossible for the other party to catch up when they are fully prepared and try their best to escape!
Zhao Qianyuan did not continue to ask about the matter, but asked Lu Fengqiao, “what’s the situation with jiaweng?”
Lu Fengqiao, with a haggard face and red and swollen eyes, bowed and said, “thank you for your concern. My father is tall and weak. Coupled with excessive sadness, he is still in bed. I’m afraid he will have to cultivate himself for some time!”
“Let the royal doctor stay at home so that he can be cured at any time!”
“Thank you, your majesty!”
“The court hall has changed a lot this time. There is a lack of space in important positions in many departments, but there are many state affairs and there can be no delay. You have a great responsibility as the left attendant of the official department. You must do this thing well as soon as possible to ensure that all departments can resume operation as soon as possible!”
“Don’t worry, your majesty. All the documents for recruiting officials to Beijing have been issued. It won’t be long before the chaotang hall can restore its full picture, and all ministries will operate as usual!”
“Qiu is the general. What about the forbidden army?”
Qiu, the general of the northern expedition, has been at home for many years. He has to return to the military headquarters this time!
“Your Majesty, the damage to the forbidden army this time is great, and it is not difficult to maintain stability, but I’m afraid it will take a long time to completely eliminate some effects!”
Some kind of influence refers not only to He Xiong, Guo Wu and others who directly participated in the rebellion, but also Pei Yuanzhao of Dazhu state! Because of Pei Yaner’s outstanding achievements in the war, Zhao Qianyuan reluctantly gave Pei Yuanzhao the title of dying for the country, but the hatred and vigilance in his heart are difficult to eliminate.
“In the matter of banning the army, we should pay more attention to safety! However, we must carefully investigate the newly promoted generals and schools, and eliminate all suspicious people without ambiguity…”
“Your Majesty, please rest assured that the old minister will do his best!”
“Prince!”
Zhao Qiying, standing on one side, never spoke. She was in a confused state. Obviously, she didn’t come out of the grief of losing her mother. She didn’t even hear Zhao Qianyuan’s cry. Lu Fengqiao wanted to remind him secretly, but Zhao Qianyuan stopped her.
Zhao Qianyuan forced down the pain of missing his wife aroused by his son and got up in person. His body shook slightly. It can be seen that his physical energy was consumed. But he still refused the help of others and walked alone to Zhao Qiying.
“Qi Ying!”
Zhao Qiying reacted and quickly wanted to plead guilty, but she couldn’t help her emotions. Her tears flowed down. Zhao Qianyuan also looked sad.
Lu Fengqiao winked at several ministers and quietly withdrew from the imperial study, leaving only Zhao Qianyuan and his son.
……
Lu Fengqiao left the imperial study with Zhao Qiying and went to Qianming palace.
“What did your majesty say to you?” Lu Fengqiao asked in a chat tone.
“My father asked me to take the overall situation into account and give some benefits to those two guys in some aspects!”
After King Jing and King Ning were restored to the throne, they immediately competed for interests. Compared with Zhao Qiying, they were poor and started from scratch! The demand for interests has reached the level of hunger, which will naturally be intentionally or unintentionally reduced to Zhao Qiying’s interests!
Zhao Qianyuan’s “psychological counseling” for his son is also a reasonable thing!
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“Didn’t my uncle remind me this morning? Of course I wouldn’t make such a mistake!”
“As the crown prince, you have to be obedient and bow your head in many things! Now the Imperial Hall has fallen sharply and many clan giants have been affected, but it is also a great opportunity to further consolidate the imperial power. Generally speaking, the situation is good for you…”
Obedience, bow and other words seem to stimulate Zhao Qiying’s nerves.
“Uncle, is my crown prince too timid? If I hadn’t endured it again and again and had to be careful about everything, maybe I could have known something earlier and made more preparations, and she wouldn’t have…”
Zhao Qiying’s tears flowed down again, and his tone was even more bitter and resentful. Lu Fengqiao stopped him and continued.
“Prince, be careful!” after confirming that there is no one around, he continued to whisper, “if you don’t want your mother’s spirit in heaven to be disappointed in you, you must bear it, okay?”
“Sorry, i… I really…”
Zhao Qiying wiped her tears and took a long breath to calm her mood.
“Did your majesty ever ask you about Zhang Shuhe?”
“Yes.”
“What do you say?”
“I answered according to my uncle’s wishes: the court needs stability; the world needs stability; the border army needs stability!”
Lu Fengqiao nodded.
“However, it is the father’s intention to let Zhang Shuhe return to Beijing. Is it not good for us to oppose? In addition, Huo Xiaoyun has the highest voice to replace Zhang Shuhe. If I operate it, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for us to let Huo Xiaoyun take over the border army?” Lu Fengqiao’s explanation is too urgent and hasn’t told the reason, so Zhao Qiying is a little puzzled.
Lu Fengqiao shook his head.
“Qi Ying, what’s the use of uncle’s bad words as long as you’re still the prince and don’t control the voice of the border army? Why should your majesty replace Zhang Shuhe? Don’t you worry about King Jing? As the prince, seizing the voice of the border army will only make people more sensitive and suspicious. Which do you think is the greater advantage or disadvantage? Besides, even if Huo Xiaoyun is close to us, But the Longzhou border army is no other place. Once the general is changed, it will inevitably be turbulent. For a while, at the moment when there may be a war with Beiyan at any time, you should focus on the overall situation and put the Empire firmly on “is this too childish?”
“Do you think your majesty is eager for talent or stability?”
There are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty who want to be virtuous. On the contrary, it is easy to tangle. I’m afraid no one can reassure the emperor more than Pei Yaner!
Just then, a little eunuch came to report that Zhang Zhou had vomited blood and fainted in the mourning hall. Zhao Qiying was nervous and asked, “don’t you want him to go again?”
“Lord Hou has to go. Who can stop him!”
“Oh, this boat!”
Zhao Qiying didn’t care about any etiquette and hurried to Qianming palace!
……
“Don’t try to be brave again, will you? Take good care of your wounds these days. I’ll be there in Qianming palace!”
Both public and private, Zhao Qiying sincerely didn’t want Zhang Zhou to have anything to do!
“Brother Ying, you have to worry! Now you are full of holes. You still have a lot of important things to take into account. You don’t have to distract your energy for me!”
“You are my best brother. Your business is a big deal!”
“It’s different from the past. It’s not a time of ambition. You have to take the overall situation into account.”
The more riddled and chaotic the situation is, the more it is time to step in and obtain benefits. This is not a cold human nature, but an objective reality. You should know that the struggle within the royal family is everywhere!
Zhao Qiying represents not only himself, but also the interests of a large group of people, including Zhang Zhou!
……
“My uncle and I have analyzed it. I will strongly recommend Pei Yaner to assume the position of an eight horse general!”
“That’s the best. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to see this little girl!”
Things are changeable. At the beginning, in Qinzhou, the little girl said to get him a general Dangdang, but the fact is just the opposite.
“Who will replace the position of the great pillar country?”
“It’s probably Qiu Yi! At present, only he is the most suitable…”
“You should be more wary of Sima family, especially the escaped Sima pearl. If you don’t eliminate this person, it’s definitely a hidden danger!”
“As long as the situation in Kyoto is stable, Sima Jingyan will be transferred back to Beijing. If Sima Jingyan dares to act against the will and doesn’t listen to the will, there is only a dead end waiting for him. As for Sima Mingzhu, who is still chasing and fleeing, his resourcefulness is amazing. I just hope he can be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible!”
“What other important news?”
“… Tong Ke, Zheng Yunhe, and Yun Zhan, the head of Hezhou, will all be transferred back to Kyoto and entrusted with important tasks; Wang Songhe will be promoted to the main hall of the Ministry of work; Qiu Jun of Suzhou criminal arrest yamen will be transferred to the Ministry of justice and directly serve as Zuo Shi!”
The prince said a lot of names. When it came to Cao Yi, he stopped and looked at Zhang Zhou. Zhang Zhou understood his intention, closed his eyes, shook his head and motioned not to mention it!
In short, the changes in the court are earth shaking. After this incident, half of the faces will be changed, and some people who seem to have nothing to do with the rebellion have also been severely punished! Just like Jiang Ju, although he did not directly participate in the chaos, he has been directly imprisoned because he has too close relationship with Zhuge Wenshan and others. He once “trapped” Zhang Zhou together, and has never been in prison again!
This is also Zhao Qianyuan’s forbearance for many years. Finally, he reached a limit and began to eliminate the roots without hesitation. Even some ruthless decisions of “better kill by mistake than let go”!
……
Zhao Qiying talked about a lot of things in the court, but there was no information about Zhang Zhou. It is estimated that Zhao Qianyuan is not in the mood to take him into account at the moment. After all, from the perspective of imperial management, Zhang Zhou is still not on the table.
Zhang Zhou himself has also seriously thought about it. He is really not suitable to “ask for merit and reward”. It is a kind of thick courtesy to stay in the palace to heal his wounds! Moreover, considering his previous actions, Zhao Qianyuan is very angry and dare not be greedy.
After repeated speculation, the result he was most afraid of was that he was detained in Beijing and let Zhao Qianyuan take care of him under his eyelids. That was what he absolutely didn’t want to see!
“Brother Ying, if your majesty wants to keep me in Beijing, you must help me push it off!”
“Boat, but I hope you can stay.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to stay, but that I’m outside. I can help you more. It’s enough to have an uncle to help you in Kyoto, and it doesn’t make much sense for me to stay!”
“However, I feel very lonely. Now she’s gone after my mother…”
Zhao Qiying is indeed at a time of emotional fragility. It’s impossible to say if there is any wind and grass, it will trigger feelings. Zhang Zhou felt uncomfortable when he saw his tears fall.
“Prince, my husband Hou has just vomited blood once!” he kept on the side, and no voice of the Wutong, finally could not help but make a voice reminder.
Wutong was injured in the palace. Zhang Zhou was told that the family was not at ease. He was sent to accompany him by the Wutong. If he was an adult, he could not be allowed to do so. But the parasol tree looked like a teenage girl. Zhang Zhou was also a meritorious man.
Wutong’s cold and unforgiving temperament, just entering the palace, met with Zhang Zhou spitting blood, and was not easily disturbed. He didn’t say a few words. The prince ran to grind for a long time. He could not help but make a voice to remind him that he could make such an attitude. It was already a great improvement.
Zhao Qiying was always polite to Zhang Zhou’s bodyguards, let alone just a little girl. The two talked more and more, and he really ignored Zhang Zhou’s previous vomiting of blood caused by emotional sadness, resulting in guilt.
“I’ve said too much today. You should have a good rest first. Don’t worry. I’ll focus on the overall situation!”
When the prince left, Zhang boat called the parasol tree to her side and whispered, “you can hurry back to tell the four niangs that you can’t neglect my teacher!”
