Lord of the House: Chapter 3 King Ning

In the early morning, light snow drifted from the cloudy sky, the paved floor in front of the Governor's Palace was full of carriages, a long line of hitching posts was full of horses, and all kinds of sedan chairs were also long. Some of the guards who have identities should go to the front yard entrance hall to take shelter from the wind and snow. More people are standing outside waiting in a pile in the east and a pile in the west, and those who do not know each other will meet and report to their home. In the future, if we can take care of them, we will ask each other for news if we know each other. These people are walking by the side of adults, and the news is also the most well-informed, far better than those small counties who know how critical the current situation is.

Except for those who couldn't escape, almost all the chief officials and generals of the yamen, the towns, and the prefectures of Jiangdong County were summoned to the yamen of the Governor's Mansion for a meeting. In addition to Cheng Yuqian, Gu Wuchen and other officials from the six ministries of Jiangning, who also came to discuss the military and politics together, the two Zhejiang counties also sent a number of civil and military officials who participated in politics and were at the commander level to attend the meeting.

Lin Fu first went to see Liu Zhi to receive the special decree for rewarding merit, and then came to the council hall. Civil servants and military generals are among the ranks, and at least they are at the rank of commander-in-chief, Zhaowu Colonel and above, and there are people from all yamen.

The two highest-ranking figures, Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian, did not appear, and everyone waited patiently. Different from the lively outside, the council hall was very depressed, except for the small whispers, there was no other movement.

Lin Fu walked in, momentarily confused as to which side he should stand on.

Seeing Xiao Xuanchou, the deputy envoy of the inspector in Jiangdong, Lin Fu raised his foot and had to step over it, so as to save that the most important official title on his head was Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy Si Zuo to participate in politics, and he knew the affairs of Chongzhou County, and it was counted as Jiangdong Xuanfu Emissary Secretary. The official, who has just given the order, has not yet had the opportunity to meet Si Wangtian, the envoy of the Jiang Dong Xuanfu.

Gu Wuchen, who was sitting on the Taishi chair and drinking tea slowly, gave Lin Fu a wink. Lin Fuxun looked over, but saw Wang Tian, ​​the envoy of Jiangdong propaganda, Han Zai, the right political counselor, and Shen Rong, the newly appointed prefect of Weiyang, and others standing in the corner. The eyes that looked over were very strange, Liu Shidu, the prefect of Hailing, and Lin Tingli, the prefect of Dongyang were also standing in the pile, looking at them with smiles.

Lin Fu walked over, first bowed his hands to his nominal boss Wang Tian, ​​and said, "Lin Fu has seen Mr. Wang..."

Most of the people in the council hall didn't recognize Lin Fu, so they all looked over at this time, wanting to see what kind of person the Jinghai envoy was: the imperial court sent envoys twice to announce special decrees to reward merits and titles, and the year of the weak crown He was quickly promoted to Jiangdong's left to participate in politics by his background, and he held the heroic army. As the Jinghai capital's superintendent, he knew that Chongzhou county was the only place where he was full of civil and military affairs.

Ordinary people are just envious and jealous, but the feelings of Jiangning government governor Wang Xueshan, Jiangdong inspector Yu Xinyuan, Weiyang prefect Shen Rong and others are much more complicated. Thinking of Lin Bing's rapid development, they couldn't help thinking of the footprints Lin Bing stepped on on their shoulders, heads, and faces, and their hearts were aching.

Lin Fu really became famous in the four battles of King Qin of Yannan, but without Chen Xueshan, Yu Xinyuan (Wu Dang), Shen Rong and others stepping on his feet as stepping stones, how could Lin Fu be qualified to lead an army to the north of King Qin last autumn?

Wang Tian is better. Although he has always been at odds with Gu Wuchen, there is no direct conflict.

Shen Rong stood beside Wang Tian and spoke, and when he saw Lin Fu approaching, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Shen Rong almost died in Luoyang Lake, and then he gave Lin Tingli an arrogance in Dongyang. To say that he didn't hate Lin Bie would only lie to a ghost. It is not difficult for Shen Rong to understand afterwards that Hong Zekou's early robbery of the Qin family's fleet in Luoyang Lake was done by Lin Bie secretly. Unfortunately, he himself was even more incapable of wiping it clean, and he couldn't grasp the handle that would kill Lin Bie. Only with a cold face.

When Han Zai saw Lin Fu approaching, he felt a little embarrassed.

More than a month ago, when he left Chongzhou with the excuse of asking for help, he didn't go back to Jiangning directly, but stayed with Xiao Baiming in Jiyang for two days. Others didn't know about this, and he was worried that Lin Fu would be able to guess it.

Xiao Taoyuan died, Xiao Baiming, Chen Qianhu and others led the army to defect to the extravagant family. Once the matter of staying in Jiyang on the way back to Jiangning to ask for help is revealed, even if Han Zai can clear the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and save his head, it will still be worthwhile. Can't keep the black gauze hat on his head.

Lin Bie smiled intentionally or unintentionally, making Han Zai's heart skip a beat.

Lin Fu didn't care about Han Zai either. He is now Zuo Sengzheng, and he has the right to know the affairs of Chongzhou County. The special envoy of Xuanfu on Han Zai's head no longer has any binding force on him. With Master Liu, did the second uncle only arrive this morning?"

Lin Tingli finally sent Shen Rong away and took his coveted seat in the Dongyang prefecture. He was proud of the spring breeze and smiled, and said to Lin Fu: "Seventeen is polite, now you are also a five-rank official of the imperial court, and you have a title, second uncle. I can't be your salute anymore... I just arrived this morning, and it's convenient to get down by boat."

"Let's talk about the old and young first, the second uncle will always be my second uncle, and this will never change." Lin Fu smiled, and asked Liu Shidu when he was going to Jiangning and where he lived.

Liu Shidu's smiling face greeted Lin Fu with a smile, which was completely a gesture of fellowship with his peers.

Although Chongzhou County is still under the jurisdiction of Hailing Prefecture in name, all taxes are allocated to Jiangdong Zuo Army for military pay. jurisdiction. On the contrary, Lin Fu participated in politics as the Minister of Xuanfu, and as the deputy of Xuanfu, he could even intervene in the affairs of Hailing Mansion.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind the screen inside the Mingtang, and all the whispers in the hall disappeared. Waiting for Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian, two big men who were nominally the chief ministers of the southeast to appear, Lin Fu saw The salt and iron envoy Zhang Yan came out with Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian. I didn't expect him to move so fast, and thought that others were still inspecting the salt area in Huainan.

Zhang Yan is the salt and iron envoy of the fourth grade, not to mention the officials of the Sixth Division of Jiangning, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen, Wang Tian, ​​Yu Xinyuan and others are all officials of the third grade. Generally speaking, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to discuss secretly with Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian, but leave Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen, Wang Tian, ​​Yu Xinyuan and others outside. The special purpose that people can know the details.

Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen were far away, and exchanged glances with Lin Tingli, knowing that he also had such a guess.

"Please ask Mr. Gu Wuchen, Mr. Wang Xueshan, Mr. Wang Tian, ​​Mr. Yu Xinyuan Yu, the six lords of Jiangning, and Mr. Lin Fulin, the governor of Jinghai, to stay in the court to discuss the secret affairs, and the other adults, please avoid the grievances for the time being..." Cheng Yuqian Come out and say.

Lin Fu felt strange in his heart. What secrets wanted him to participate in, but asked those civil servants and military generals who were higher than him to avoid it?

After everyone retreated, the conference hall suddenly became empty, and everyone could be allocated a chair for the master, and Lin Fu naturally accompanies the last seat.

Yue Lengqiu looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Let's talk about Master Zhang..."

Zhang Yan bowed his hands and said, "The emperor had already issued an order in Beijing seven days ago that King Yan should be moved to Jiangning, and the title of King Ning will be changed. He will come to Jiangning soon to become a vassal. The secret order has Zhang Yan in Jiangning to raise money on his behalf. It's not easy to move the domain, you need to cooperate with all adults, and be fully prepared..."

The King of Yan, Yuan Jianwu, was the son of Emperor Delong at the age of twenty-six. The current emperor has no heirs, and among his sons and nephews, Yan Wang Yuan Jianwu has the best reputation.

Lin Fu had guessed that the emperor might change the title of Yuan Jianwu to King Ning in order to replace him with the heir and the southeast. He didn't expect the action to be so quick. Almost immediately after the news of the Jinan civil uprising reached Beijing, he did so immediately. decision.

Lin Fu didn't even have time to exchange opinions with Gu Wuchen on the matter. He didn't expect that Zhang Yan had followed him to Jiangning with a secret order.

Lin Fu couldn't think of the intense undercurrent behind this decision for a while, but he understood why Cheng Yuqian and the others wanted him to stay and participate in the secret discussion.

Ning Wang Yuanjianwu left Beijing and came to Jiangning to join the vassal, which means to establish a successor in the southeast of the town. The standard of officials and guards in the royal palace will be higher than that of ordinary vassal kings. It may be necessary to look up to the East Palace, so as to reflect the meaning of the succession. King Ning Jufan's team is huge, and it is impossible to pass through Zhongzhou or Shandong to the south without a sound. It is likely to attract a large number of rebel bandits to intercept the road. There needs to be a foolproof response plan here.

After all, Lin Bie's stall is another coolie job.

Even if King Ning didn't take the sea route, after entering Shandong, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ would avoid the rebel zone and head south along Huaikou. He had to deploy elite troops to respond, and Jiangdong Zuojun would be suitable.

Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen exchanged looks, and Gu Wuchen was also quite surprised: moving the capital, moving the capital, the capital and the government have been discussing for a long time, and the change of King Yan's Yuanjian Wu to King Ning can be said to be the most practical step.

Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, ​​Yu Xinyuan and others all had different expressions.

Yu Xinyuan is happy, making the move to the southeast of Ningwang Town is the most practical step, and the center of gravity of the empire has returned to Jiangnan, so the Wu Party, which represents local forces, will naturally have more opportunities to rise. The first step, not a few days have passed yet.

Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian are not necessarily happy. If the emperor is old and frail, Ning Wangli will soon inherit the throne. It is possible for them to share the merits of support, and this official authority will naturally rise to a higher level.

It is a pity that the current emperor is at his peak in spring and autumn and is in his prime. Even if King Ning is established as his heir, he does not know how many years it will take to ascend to the throne. At this time, they went to hug King Ning's thighs and bowed down to King Ning. It may not be good, but it may be a disaster - if the emperor has children in the future, they will naturally cut off King Ning's authority and follow King Ning. How can the ministers and generals in the southeast who are close to each other have good fruit to eat?

Lin Fu looked at Yue Lengqiu and Cheng Yuqian.

Cheng Yuqian was calm. He was usually mediocre, and he didn't fight for power with Yue Lengqiu. Now that the military power and Jiangning's garrison power are given to Gu Wuchen, he is also very calm.

Yue Lengqiu felt different. He was originally the uncrowned king in Jiangning, and King Ning was a vassal. First of all, he was the most restricted.

Even if the imperial court would not grant King Ning too much real power, having a boss who nominally needs to ask for instructions on everything will make people quite uncomfortable. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
