Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 913: Two kings think at the same time, the minister is embarrassed

Yang Jie and Chen Yong had serious expressions when they heard the news. However, since Chen Zhi had already vaccinated them, it was not a big surprise. They were just thinking about how to present it in front of the emperor. He said that when he heard the words of King Guanghan, the anxiety in his heart calmed down a bit.

They immediately realized that what happened this time might not be the worst. At least the two sides of the court were trying to compete. They were able to mediate and adjust, which gave them a lot of room for maneuver.

You know, King Guanghan is not the only one who wants to win over Yang Jie and Chen Yong.

When the King of Guanghan's family was the dominant one and had power over the whole government, it was natural for them to keep their word. No one dared to say a word even if they were referring to deer as horses. Therefore, there was no need to worry about where the characters in Jiuqing belonged.

But things are different now. Once there are competitors, they need to use their own methods.

Sure enough, King Ganling smiled slightly and said: "Actually, the most urgent task is to first determine whether the matter is true or false. If it is false, then the person who lied about the military situation must be found out to serve as a warning to others. If it is true, then Governor Wang will rashly Attacking the land of the imperial court is still his own pastoral and guarding land, which is really unreasonable, and there must be an explanation."

These words undoubtedly showed his attitude, but they seemed less sincere than King Guanghan.

Yang Jie and Chen Yong also felt that King Ganling's words were an attempt to make a big deal trivial and trivialize it.
If this is the case, then these two people cannot feel at ease. As Jiu Qing, they are very aware of the current predicament of the imperial court. It can be said that there is war in all directions. It seems that all the territories of the Han Dynasty are not peaceful. However, the central government is in a tug of war. Down here, the troops are stretched thin, and they have to put out fires everywhere. The key is that the fires cannot be put out completely.

For example, the king of Jiangdu led his own army to put out the fire in the north, but was frightened by the fire and was trapped in one place, not daring to move, and even separated Youzhou.

Therefore, if another change occurs in Youzhou, the government should not say that it will provide support or intervene, but can only issue one or two documents to reprimand it. That would be good, but you still have to worry about Wang Jun coming back.

Now it seems that King Ganling thought differently from King Guanghan and was unwilling to provoke and complain about Wang Jun?
As soon as this battle report came through, almost all the important ministers knew clearly that it was not just a rumor. It was groundless and might not be without reason. The situation in Youzhou had long been known through many channels. They had already known about this battle when it started. Well, who would think it is fake news?

If the news is false and unverified, how dare you beat the drum to announce it during the court meeting?

Thinking about it like this, everyone became confused about King Ganling's thoughts.

But unexpectedly, he followed King Ganling to the emperor, saluted and said: "However, the fact that this incident can happen shows that the current situation in the north is really a bit stiff. It is the governor Wang who occupies the position." It has been too long, and one person is involved in two states. This is rarely seen in the Han Dynasty, which inevitably makes people suspicious. Therefore, there are many gossips. If this root cause is not eliminated, even if today's incident proves to be a false alarm. , but it might happen again in the future..."

Hearing this, not to mention Yang Jie and Chen Yong were stunned. Even the others, including King Guanghan, looked surprised. How could they not understand the meaning of these words?

Could it be that at this time, King Ganling still wants to stimulate Wang Jun?Want to make a fuss about your reputation?

Sure enough, I heard King Ganling live up to expectations and say: "So I feel that the burden on the governor of Wang is too heavy, which may be one of the reasons for the frequent rumors. It is better to ask him to move his position. I heard that there were discussions in the court before, It is said that the acting prefect is worthy of the important task, and many courtiers have suggested that he take over the post of Youzhou. Now that Chen Taishou has the title of General of the Northern Expedition, if he takes over Youzhou, it will be a success."

These words woke up the emperor who was immersed in surprise.Emperor Liu Dai was the most shocked after hearing the news. Unlike his ministers, the emperor's impression of Chen Zhi always remained as a talented celebrity. He felt that Chen Zhi's articles were well written. , also capable, but now this minister is suddenly involved with the border official, and it is still a war!

Thinking about it, the young emperor asked: "I remember that a few months ago, Chen Qing fought with the Hu people and won a big victory. The imperial court thought there was something wrong, so they specially sent people to investigate. It turned out that it was concealed, but instead of reporting too much, it was underreporting, is there such a thing?"

"That's right." Zhao Qi, Minister of the Fifth Army, came out and nodded. "At that time, the Yushitai sent people there, and there were also people from the Shangshutai supervising. Because false reports of military exploits were too frequent in the border areas, there was still a bottom line. , there will not be too many reports at once, but the number of people reported by General Zhengbei at that time was full of doubts in the court, so he sent it there. It was later proved that it was not an overreport, but some people said that this move still deceived the court. The suspicion must be severely punished."

"I also remember this." Emperor Liu Dai nodded, then shook his head, "I said at that time that Chen Qing is a man who knows the military, how can he punish him, but several veterans said that no matter how much, it was all deception. We have been arguing about this for a long time, so the matter of recommending Chen Zhi as the governor of Youzhou has been dropped. I remember this matter was mentioned by Zhang Shangshu, right?"

"This..." Zhang Ying couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He had secretly promoted this matter at that time, but of course he didn't want Chen Zhi to take advantage of it, but wanted to intensify the conflict between him and Wang Jun and force the two families to become more and more hostile. It is difficult to reconcile. Now it seems that although it has not been actually implemented, it still has a profound impact. Hasn't this been marked?

Therefore, from Zhang Yingzhi's point of view, he is optimistic about the success of this matter, but the two princes are trying to win over each other. He can't sing the opposite directly, so he can only keep a low profile. Anyway, if he wants to come, Wang Jun Taking action, Chen Zhi was absolutely unable to resist. He just had to wait for the desired result.

But the emperor's words made him unable to remain silent.

Since you can't remain silent, take a stand.

"I think this matter needs to be carefully considered before making a decision," Zhang Ying said in a calm tone, neither humble nor overbearing, "After all, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false. If there is any discrepancy, there must be something wrong. It damages the dignity of the imperial court."

These words made all the ministers nod slightly.

What does it mean to be difficult to distinguish between true and false?Are you unable to tell whether the war in Youzhou is real or fake?
No, everyone knows that they are going to be beaten, so the key is actually the next sentence——

If you give Chen Zhi a name, but he is completely defeated and Youzhou is completely controlled by Wang Jun, then this court order, apart from worsening the relationship between the two parties and making Wang Jun feel disgusted, the biggest effect is to make the court Majesty is compromised.

But this sentence undoubtedly shows that Zhang Ying, Yang Jie and Chen Yong are not on the same side and have no intention of recruiting.

Liu Dai frowned after hearing this and was about to say more.

At this time, Mo Anjie listened to Xiao Huangmen's words again, and finally a memorial came over.

"For your information, Your Majesty, King Jiangdu has written a memorial."
