Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House - v2 Chapter 1104
Yang Ji took office, and the first crisis followed.
Anxi King Pei Ren died.
When the news reached the capital, the world was shaken.
King Anxi passed away at the beginning of the year, and the news went on the road for a few months before reaching the capital.
“How is the situation in Xiliang?”
Everyone has the same question in their hearts, but no one can answer it.
News from Xiliang was delayed for as little as half a year and as much as a year.
If the roads are blocked, the news may be delayed for two years.
The rich and the money are in distress.
He is the head of the Intelligence Department, and half of the manpower is sent overseas.
He hadn’t heard the news of King Anxi’s death beforehand, and apparently there was a leak in the intelligence work.
Regardless of whether there is a problem with the collection of information or the problem with the delivery of the message, there is always a problem.
His Majesty asked about the situation in Xiliang, he didn’t know the situation after one question, and he lost points and performed poorly.
Of course, he was criticized by Emperor Liu Zhao.
Qian Fu was criticized, and one of the people under the Intelligence Department was counted as one, and of course he had no good life.
Move all of them, activate all intelligence networks, and be sure to find out about the current situation in Xiliang as soon as possible.
Xiliang’s official documents were delivered to the capital.
One is to report the death of King Peiren of Anxi.
The second is to ask the emperor Liu Zhao to make an decree to formally establish his son Pei Meng as the next king of Anxi.
“I won’t make this will until I understand the situation in Xiliang.”
Liu Zhao was resolute.
He worried that the death of King Peiren of Anxi and the situation in Xiliang would change.
In case Pei Meng is not enough to stabilize the situation in Xiliang, or Pei Meng has a second heart, the purpose of canonizing Pei Meng as King Anxi is simple, but it is difficult to take back the will.
At that time, the imperial court will be hard to get off the ground, and it will be ashamed.
Liu Zhao also wanted face.
The most important thing is that he has been guarding his cousin Pei Meng in his heart.
He and Pei Meng are cousins and have known each other since childhood.
Pei Meng pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, showing a big and thick face, but in fact he has the city in his chest and is scheming.
Such people have to guard against.
“King Anxi has a bottom line in doing things, and he has a family and country feeling in his heart. Pei Meng, I have to look again, and then estimate.”
Yang Jiyang Xianggong, the newly appointed Zhongshu, has a different view.
“Your Majesty is guarding Anxi’s son Pei Meng, so does Pei Meng know his majesty’s mind? I think it should be clear. He asked his Majesty to canonize him as King Anxi. It can be said to be straightforward. The minister thought he had expected his Majesty to be possible. His response. Dragging the canonized decree, Weichen thought it would be of no avail. It’s better to fulfill him first, show his majesty’s generosity, and beat him by surprise.”
“Then just do what he wants.” Liu Zhao disagreed, and insisted on understanding the situation in Xiliang before making plans.
Yang Ji pondered for a moment, “Is your Majesty worried about Pei Meng’s departure from the Great Zhou Dynasty and becoming the king? In fact, your Majesty doesn’t have to worry at all. The Weichen has specially checked the accounts of Sanhe Express. In the past few years, our trade volume with Xiliang has increased year by year. People who have returned from Xiliang tell that the main income of Anxi Palace comes from tariffs.
The Anxi Palace also needs to rely on the Great Zhou to transport materials to resist the fierce war of faith in the Western Regions. It can be said that Da Zhou is the patron of Anxi Palace. Pei Meng is a smart man, he knows how to choose, which is the best. He asked to be the king of the table above, nothing more than to manage Xiliang in a proper way. There are several brothers below him, all of whom can lead soldiers to fight. He must rely on His Majesty’s support to stabilize the overall situation. “
Liu Zhao nodded, there was some truth in this.
Then, he asked again, “Before King Anxi died, he didn’t make a request to make Pei Meng king. Did he die suddenly?”
Under normal circumstances, King Anxi should arrange all major events before his death.
It is definitely better for King Anxi to come forward for a major event like asking the prince to come forward than Pei Meng himself.
Yang Ji guessed: “It may be that the death was sudden, or it may be that King Anxi was shaken and wanted to pass the eldest son Pei Meng and set up another son. Maybe he played off by himself, and then…”
Liu Zhao laughed when he heard the words.
“Brothers fight, it’s interesting.”
“Weichen thought that your majesty should still support Pei Meng. Xiliang should not be in chaos. Once the chaos occurs, the forces from the Western Regions will take the opportunity to invade Xiliang. Your majesty and the empress will be hit hard.”
“What you said makes sense, Xiliang must not be messy.”
But Liu Zhao was not in a hurry to decree Pei Meng.
You can wait for a few months, and one or two more months will not affect you.
…
“The work of the Intelligence Department this time makes me very dissatisfied.”
Liu Zhao complained to Gu Jiu in private
“Is Qianfu getting old, things are getting more and more watery, not as elaborate as they were back then.”
Gu Jiu defended Qian Fu with two sentences, “It’s not Qian Fu’s fault! Xiliang blocked the news of King Anxi’s death. People in the Intelligence Department were all named in Anxi Palace, they were stared at, and the news could not be delivered. excusable.”
“Do you have a news channel? What is the situation in Xiliang now?” Liu Zhao looked surprised.
Gu Jiu said: “My news is from the grassland, and it is not very detailed. King Anxi passed away in the first month of the year. It is said to be very sudden. The first day I was hosting a banquet to entertain guests, and I received a stunning woman. The next day, suddenly Passed away. Immediately afterwards, the King City of Xiliang was under martial law and the news was blocked. Because the caravan was very accurate in checking the time, it was fortunate that the caravan left the King City of Xiliang before the martial law, and sent the news to the capital through the prairie business road.”
Liu Zhao frowned, “Is it because the brothers are fighting, or is there an assassin?”
On the first day of death, a stunning woman had just been accepted, which made people have to think about the assassin.
Gu Jiu said: “It’s impossible for brothers to fight! Pei Meng’s position is stable. Although the brothers are not so harmonious, no brother can threaten his position. I guess either it was a real accident or his death may be unglamorous. , So the news is blocked. Either you really met the assassin.”
Liu Zhao suddenly realized, “Are you saying that King Anxi might have died from the wind?”
Gu Jiu nodded.
Liu Zhao thought carefully, “It is indeed possible. At such a young age, if you don’t know about temperance, it is very possible to die dishonestly. It’s hard for Pei Meng, and you have to use your mind to cover up for the old thing of King Anxi.”
Gu Jiu said: “The war in the Western Regions is burning, and it is becoming more and more fierce, and it is an undifferentiated massacre. Both men and women, young and old, are very tragic. We need Anxi Palace to fight back to **** people’s hearts and turf. Therefore, I hope to get down as soon as possible. The decree canonize Pei Meng as King Anxi. In addition, the court can provide mercenaries to the Anxi Palace.”
“Mercenary?” Liu Zhao was curious.
Gu Jiu focused his head, “The Anxi Royal Mansion pays money and food, and we are responsible for the production of weapons. If the Anxi Royal Mansion does not have enough money and food, the Shaofu Bank can lend him a loan. The specific repayment can be discussed.”
After that, Gu Jiu pulled out the map of the Western Regions and analyzed with Liu Zhao that if the war in the Western Regions is left alone, there will be great hidden dangers.
There is no compromise in the struggle for belief, the struggle for land, and the people’s hearts.
Xiliang has been operating for many years and has seen some achievements.
Many of the indigenous children over there can speak and understand Chinese characters.
This is a good start.
Twenty years later, when these people grow up, the entire Western Regions will be influenced by the Han culture of Xiliang, and the pattern of the Western Regions will be completely changed.
The premise is that the Western Regions will not fight.
However, the fighting in the Western Regions is now in full swing, which is particularly unfriendly to cultural assimilation and the situation in Xiliang.
So, we must call back.
Let those crazy war butchers know how powerful Da Zhou is.
Don’t think you will fight.
Da Zhou is the true ancestor of war.
Liu Zhao looked at the map, and he was finally convinced by Gu Jiu.
The Western Regions must fight, must fight.
Just how to fight, when to fight, must first discuss with Pei Meng.
Liu Zhao squeezed his chin, “You have to arrange for someone to go to Xiliang to negotiate with Pei Meng. In addition, you have to choose a leader to fight in the Western Regions.”
“Leading generals are good candidates, but negotiators are not good candidates.”
Gu Jiu has two best candidates, one is Chen Zhuangshi, and the other is Yang Ji.
Both of these people have been to Xiliang and have played in Xiliang, and have a good understanding of the situation in the Western Regions of Xiliang.
However, Chen Zhuangshi was camping far overseas, and he had no time to drink water like an animal.
Yang Ji had just taken office, and he was dignified. Naturally, it was impossible to go to Xiliang, thousands of miles away, to negotiate with Pei Meng.
“Why not use Mr. Lu?” Gu Jiu suggested.
The former Zhongshu ordered Master Lu to retire and Zhishi retired. After a few days of decadence, he went to Shanhe Academy to accompany the two of Sanyuangong Zhou Shian and gave a class at Zhixing Academy.
Later, another class was given in the Imperial College.
He has a large rank and is the one who has achieved the greatest official position among all teachers.
Students gathered in his class.
It is said that in the first class, two or three hundred people were forced out of the original thirty positions.
The students all want to see the demeanor of the former Zhong Shuling.
Especially for students who are interested in imperial examinations, the title of Zhong Shuling is too attractive. Many students want to worship in his name.
Mr. Lu opened up the situation in just one class.
Then, happy in it, reluctant to think about it.
He boasted of good physical strength and taught three classes in one go.
One class at Shanhe College, one class at Zhixing College, one class at Guozijian.
One day off for three days, and four days for three academies.
Of course, the tuition fee is also extremely high.
Higher than his income as an official.
Gu Jiu proposed to let Mr. Lu go to Xiliang to negotiate with Pei Meng to determine the overall situation. It also depends on Mr. Lu’s qualifications and abilities.
Liu Zhao had some doubts, “He is old, and the journey to Xiliang is far away. I am worried that he will not be able to bear it. Moreover, the conditions in Xiliang are difficult. If there is an accident, it will be a great loss. I have lost a hopelessness and don’t want to lose anymore. A Mr. Lu.”
Gu Jiu thought for a while, “Among the young and middle-aged officials, there is no more suitable candidate than Mr. Lu.”
“How about let Jingcheng Pei’s family come forward directly?”
“Inappropriate!” Gu Jiu directly rejected Liu Zhao’s proposal, “Beijing Pei’s family, who can serve as the person who can persuade Pei Meng’s important task, can’t be found.”
Pei Meng is the most outstanding person of Pei’s generation and an old fox.
When King Anxi died, he was the first person among the honorable military commanders.
Gu Rui and Gu Ling are also very good, they are also honorable, and they are equally brilliant. But in front of Pei Meng, it was not enough to fight.
Yang Ji is estimated to be able to equal Pei Meng with his monstrous contributions overseas, but it is not enough to suppress Pei Meng.
Wanting to persuade Pei Meng to rely on the group of Pei family in Beijing is a joke.
Manchu dynasty civil and military, there are few people who can suppress Pei Meng.
Whether it is qualifications, military exploits, or strategy, Pei Meng vaguely has the shadow of the top three in the world.
Such a person must find someone with a heavier status to suppress him.
“So, only Mr. Lu?”
Gu Jiu nodded his head, “If Li Bingming Li has not passed away, he is the most suitable person. Li is gone, Mr. Lu is the most suitable person.”
“Then talk to Lao Lu and listen to his thoughts.”
“I’ll talk to him.”
Gu Jiu took over the matter.
Liu Zhao had no objection, “I have a bad temper and can’t stand the tormenting conversation. It is more appropriate for you to come forward. I am afraid that I will overturn the table because of a disagreement.”
Gu Jiu disliked him, “You, the older you are, the more grumpy you are. You have to learn to cultivate your character and temper your temper. Anger hurts the liver, and good health is the most important thing.”
“I just don’t want to bear it now!” Liu Zhao’s attitude was very direct.
Gu Jiu glanced at him, and he immediately admitted.
“Yes! I will listen to you. I will cultivate my character, restrain my anger, and take care of my body. Oh, my old waist!”
Liu Zhao resorted to bitter tricks, and Gu Jiu really became nervous.
It’s massage again, and plastering again.
Gu Jiu made a decision, “I will go to Xiaozhu to escape the heat tomorrow!”
