Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1186: Ah Man’s ambition?

After Director Wang raised this matter, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

At this time, the people gathered in the palace were not the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but some officials who were really close to and loyal to King Langya. Simply put, they were members of power groups with relevant interests.

Most of them came from the north.

For people like them, it would be the best if they could return to the Northland. However, the Northland had been in war and occupied by barbarians one after another. They knew very well that without enough troops to support them, they wanted to Return to the north was absolutely out of the question.

Most of the many barbarians, bandits and rebels did not recognize the imperial court. Not only did they establish the country, they also engaged in other hostile actions. Relying on the name of the imperial court, they could not guarantee safety.

But now the Xuanjia Army, which is still nominally under the imperial court, has basically reunified the north, and has launched vigorous construction activities, including suppressing bandits. It looks like there will be long-term peace and stability, and there will be no more wars. It seems that these The northern nobles can now return.

It's just that these are just superficial situations.

If in the past, this minister and general regained the lost territory, it would be a great achievement. The court would reward him, and then he would be given military power and rest in peace, which would be a normal way of control.

But the current situation is completely different. The land occupied by that minister, the troops he leads, and the officials he oversees are all far beyond the court. Under such a situation, it makes no sense for the court to control the other party.

In fact, everyone in the world knows very well that even if Chen Zhineng is willing to delegate power for the sake of the former emperor, the power attached to him will never allow things to happen, because that would be the most important thing. It has truly harmed their interests and future.

Not to mention, if someone can really get such a status, how many people have been able to let it go in the past and present, including Zhou Gong, Huo Guang, etc., these people all know some secret rumors.

Therefore, Jiang Zuo's ministers cannot say that they are fully aware of Chen Zhi's thoughts, but at least they have some thoughts about it.

In addition, there is another key factor that caused the officials to rarely mention the situation in the North during this period, whether in court or in private, and that was Chen Zhi's attitude towards the aristocratic family. ——

Whether it is from his restraint on the family's power, his management of the family's land, and his control over the family's tenants, there is an implicit hint of hostility.

More importantly, the imperial examination system that Chen Zhi is currently trying to promote is a great threat to the aristocratic families. However, the northern aristocratic families have been completely subdued by Chen Zhi and do not have the courage and strength to resist.

In contrast, Jiangzuo's family is still in a relatively self-contained situation. Even before the situation in the Northland was not yet clear, people would often criticize it.

With such a relaxed environment, in comparison, I am naturally unwilling to return to the north.

But now that Director Wang has raised this issue, they are faced with an attitude that must be clarified.

"I don't know the attitude of the champion. Maybe as soon as he ascended the throne today, the Xuanjia army will come across the river, and then push them all the way. In the end, will the Chen family rule the roost, or will the little emperor of Guanzhong be enshrined as a puppet? I have nothing to do with waiting.”

Director Wang looked serious and spoke word by word, causing the atmosphere in the study to suddenly become solemn.

If in the past, others might have scoffed at this analysis.

But now no one dares to take it lightly, because the Xuanjia Army has already taken concrete actions, telling the forces in the world that they generally do not target anyone, but as long as they do, the corresponding forces will basically be in trouble.

Irresistible!

This is the feeling that the Xuanjia Army gives people all over the world today.

"Fortunately, the king and the champion prince still have a good relationship!" Seeing everyone's solemn expressions and frowning, Director Wang changed the topic again and expressed his analysis, "I think the champion prince will definitely come. It is also inclined towards the king, but the key is to dispel the doubts in his heart."

"How to get rid of it?" At this time, King Langya, who had always been silent, suddenly asked.Compared with a few years ago, King Langya now looks like an adult and even has a beard. However, there are still some traces of the past on his face. However, after holding power and arbitrating the conflicts between the northern and southern families for several years, he still developed his tolerance. As soon as Shi opened his mouth, there was a majestic blessing, and others stopped and listened.

Only Director Wang who was asked by him responded: "You need to let the champion know that the imperial court has no thoughts about the North."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless. Even King Langya's expression changed continuously. Even though the city was in his heart, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Director Wang saw the appearance of several people and continued: "Everything needs to be done step by step. Today, we must first obtain the name of orthodoxy and rule Jiangzuo. After all, the Han family is still the most powerful in the world. There may be changes in the future, but if it is now If we can’t take this step, we will never mention the future.”

This statement is almost clear——

If you want to worry about the Northern Territory, you have to have an orthodox title. Only when you become emperor can you have a legitimate name. And the orthodoxy in the world is still Yan Liu in name. As long as you get the throne, you will have opportunities in the future. If you don't get the throne, it's all nothing. Thought.

Everyone suddenly had nothing to say.

Finally, King Langya nodded and asked, "How do I convey this to my teacher?"

Director Wang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. When he heard this, he cupped his hands and said: "This matter should be done by me personally to the north to show my sincerity."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised again, even King Langya shook his head subconsciously, and wanted to stop it, because now the king director is his backbone, the key to stabilizing the government, it is not enough to describe it with his left hand and right arm.

Director Wang didn't wait for him to speak, and explained: "Wei Chen's importance can make the champion know the king's true intention."

King Langya fell silent for a moment.

It was precisely because of Director Wang's important status that sending him out seemed sincere. After all, if he were to tell the higher-ups, he, the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, could only go there in person, which was unreasonable and would not be possible.

In the end, after King Langya weighed the situation, he finally nodded, but in the end he couldn't help but tell him: "Ai Qing, you must take care of yourself when you go north."

"Thank you so much for your concern, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Director Wang bowed.

After the meeting, all the ministers came to praise and entrust him to show their closeness.

After Director Wang responded one by one, he returned to the palace.

As soon as they entered the mansion, the clan members who had learned the news immediately gathered around. Some complained, some praised, and some were disappointed. The situation was complicated.

Finally, Director Wang dispersed the clan members and called only a few brothers to the study room to give instructions on many matters after leaving.

Brother Wang Kuang couldn't help but ask: "Is there any danger in going north this time? If the champion has... thoughts of self-reliance, wouldn't it be critical?"

Director Wang shook his head and said: "I believe that the champion may have the ambition of hiding. Even if he doesn't, maybe we can both settle down."
