v2.Chapter 156 (1/2)
The military newspaper at the border was sent to Dongling court, which shocked the government and the public.
Kunwu's methods are too insidious. Looking through historical books, only Bai Qi, a famous general who was known as ”rentu” in the Warring States period, can be compared.
One pit kills 400000 soldiers, and the other turns a good soil and water into a barren land where life is ruined.
Emperor Ning was so angry that he regretted it again. Why didn't he directly put Kunwu's injury in Dongling or simply kill him!
If he didn't have the kindness of women, he would not have lost tens of thousands of soldiers in vain!
Tens of thousands of Gu's soldiers are loyal souls who have been painstakingly cultivated from generation to generation. They just died in Kunwu's wounded hands. There is no room for resistance
Think about it, always a sigh.
The imperial censor Ji Daogong is waiting. Standing beside him is Chen Yushi, who has been in the cabinet. Now he is called Chen Ge Lao.
Two old ministers stood at the bottom and looked at each other. They could see the regret of emperor Ning clearly.
Chen Ge stepped forward and said, ”Your Majesty, this is not the time to regret. When Marquis Gu came back, he asked the Ministry of household to help collect antidote herbs. It's not known that Princess Zhenjiang is at the border or can use these herbs to relieve the toxicity of soil and water. ”
Ning Di nodded slowly, ”let the Ministry of household do it as soon as possible, and the Ministry of war will help. No matter how many herbs are needed, we must try our best to alleviate the toxicity of water and soil. Once the poison penetrates into the surrounding cities, it's not only Gu's soldiers who will suffer! ”
Chen Ge Lao nodded, ”this matter, the old minister immediately draws up an imperial edict to order to go down. Another thing is that Gu's army was seriously injured and killed, but the Xikun army was in front of him, and there was no intention to retreat. Will your majesty send more reinforcements to help Marquis Gu? ”
Ning Di thought for a moment and waved his hand, ”it's not necessary. Marquis Gu acted steadily. If he needed reinforcements, he would tell me. If he didn't, we didn't have to worry about it. Instead, we should let the Ministry of war and the Ministry of household use their brains on military supplies and the Ministry of internal affairs. ”
The old Chen Ge can understand that the military supplies are used in the Ministry of war and the Ministry of household. How can they be related to the Ministry of internal affairs?
He was about to ask a question. Ji Daogong, who had been silent, looked at him. Chen Ge gave up his hand and put it down again. After thinking about it, he said, ”yes, even if the soldiers in the army are still weak after detoxification, marquis Gu and a group of generals work very hard. The minister will order the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war to send more good food, and then order the house of internal affairs to prepare the necessary items for the princess
Ning Di nodded and was satisfied with his understanding. He didn't have much to add.
The two old ministers withdrew from the imperial study and walked out of the palace along the corridor, chatting with each other.
They were colleagues who had worked in the imperial censor station for many years. They cooperated well with each other. Chen Ge said, ”thank you for your advice just now. If it wasn't for you, I would have forgotten Princess Zhenjiang. It is said that the resolution of this border crisis depends entirely on the efforts of the princess. ”
Ji Daogong did not take credit for it. ”Where, the cabinet has not yet been formed, and the order of the first and second auxiliary departments has not been determined. Mr. Chen Ge was involved in the cabinet for the first time, so he was inevitably negligent. On the other hand, although the cabinet has not been fully formed, the senior cabinet member is now an official. There is no need to call himself a subordinate to me. ”
Ji Daogong was especially green eyed to Chen Ge Lao. After two dynasties, he had passed the rare years. Ji Daogong had a unique sensitivity to the court situation.
The recent series of changes in the central government gave him an ominous premonition. The more so, the more he hoped that Chen Ge Lao, a pure and upright man who did not form cliques for personal gain, would take over the post.
Chen Ge Lao heard him mention the words of the first assistant and the second assistant. With a jump of his brow, he faintly realized something. He bowed his hand to Ji Daogong and said, ”I've worked in the imperial censor station for many years, and I admire him very much. Thanks to Mr. Ji's respect, I will be conscientious and dedicated to assisting your majesty. ”
Ji Daogong pursed his lips and laughed, and his gentle eyes showed his wisdom and transparency.
The two continued to move forward.
”At the beginning of the establishment of the cabinet, your majesty has completely abandoned Yin Shuo, the prime minister. There is no intention to include him in the new cabinet, nor to abolish the prime minister. But since ancient times, there has been no precedent for cabinet and prime minister to stand side by side. ”
Ji Daogong's words were very meaningful. Chen Ge thought about it and then said: ”indeed, your majesty knows that the cabinet has just been established, and there are no regulations to deal with many things, but he would rather leave it to the cabinet than let Prime Minister Yin intervene. Especially in the case of Gu Jiajun, your majesty seems to be very taboo about the prime minister. ”
Ji Dao said: ”the power of Yin Shuo's prime minister has been elevated, but the position of his son-in-law is real. I heard that Princess Danyang was not satisfied with her husband's son-in-law at first, but now she is as good as glue. Mr. Chen should be careful not to let others take advantage of the cabinet at this time. ”
Chen Ge old Leng Leng ground stands a foothold, doubt oneself wrong meeting Ji Dao Gong's meaning.
He hinted to himself, will Yin Shuo take advantage of the cabinet not to gain a firm foothold in the court, to lay hands on the cabinet ministers?
After generations of accumulation, the Yin family also had the status of son-in-law and the help of the second prince, his brother-in-law It's not impossible.
For the first time, Chen Ge thought of his overbearing Laolaizi. If the political enemies of the imperial court want to attack him, they will find Chen Chuxiu first.
Just about to thank Ji Daogong, looking up, the figure of the old man has gone far.
In the past, there were some immortals in the fumigation pool.……
”Have you come back yet?”
The first thing Chen Gelao did when he returned to the mansion was to find Chen Chuxiu.
The servant came forward and said, ”the young master and several young masters of the Duke's family have gone out for horse racing. They say they will come back before dark. Please rest assured.”
”Well, he often comes and goes with the young sons of the Duke's family. They don't have to inherit the family property, but they are raised by their father and brother. Can he do the same? Young as he is, he is my only son! How can I compete with those people all day long if I want to raise the main beam of the government in a hundred years
Chen Ge always connives at him, but today he hears that Ji Lao, who has never talked much, personally instructs him. His heart is hanging in the air for fear that Chen Chuxiu will make a mistake outside.
The servant comforted him: ”don't be angry, master. I've been playing a lot. Isn't it because I'm young? In two years, I'll be older, and I'll be more stable. What's more, the young master is playing outside. He hasn't caused any serious trouble, has he? ”
”It's too late to get into trouble! Others didn't move him because of my face. My status is not noble, but who doesn't know my most precious son? Now my identity has changed, and I'm coveted. I'm afraid that those who didn't dare to touch him in the past will take the initiative to find him now! ”
Servant Leng Leng, ”master is now the cabinet chief, a senior member, who dares to play childe's idea?”
