Chapter 970 The necessity of having a good grandfather (3)
"Grandfather, are you?" Jiang Yu said in confusion.
Grand Tutor Jiang sighed, "Although we did not do this on purpose, it will definitely make the powerful families in the Western Yue Dynasty dissatisfied. What happened to me giving up the title of Grand Tutor? Just tell Your Majesty and Mu Xiang that after I retired, I plan to open a college outside the city to teach students."
The eldest son of the Jiang family quickly advised: "Father, never. How can you do that girl Yu Yan... Why don't you let her resign and go home? A girl's house is not good..."
"Don't you!" said Grand Tutor Jiang: "Do you think Your Majesty is leaving Yu Yan just to find it fun? Besides... the little prince is growing up, and I am holding the reputation of a prince's tutor for nothing. Do you think Your Majesty will really let me teach the little prince? It's better to retreat earlier. Look, I retire... Yu'er and your brothers should take another step. Your Majesty will not make things too difficult for Yan'er because of my relationship." After all, the old fox who survived the previous emperor and could still live comfortably under the high pressure of Prince Rong Jiu. How could these young people guess?
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yu's letter was sent on the next day, Mr. Rong Jiu kept it as usual but failed, he praised Grand Tutor Jiang's noble character. As a veteran of the three dynasties, the prime minister of the former dynasty and the only Grand Tutor of the prince. After retirement, Mr. Jiang still wanted to open a school to benefit the students of the world. Of course, such sentiments must be rewarded greatly. Rong Jin generously promoted the two legitimate sons of the Jiang family and Jiang Yu to the first level. Although the two legitimate sons of the Jiang family were only promoted from the fourth rank to the fourth rank, it was not very eye-catching, but Jiang Yu was different. He himself was from the second rank.
The Minister of Personnel was promoted to the second rank of officialdom at once. However, the Minister of Personnel was still alive, so Jiang Yu was awarded the position of Minister of War. You know, Jiang Yu was only twenty-nine years old, but he became the first among young officials. Even Nangong Yi and Bu Yutang, who were promoted one after another in a few years, were pressed down by him. For a moment, the ministers in the hall were also a little confused. The young thought that why did he not have such a powerful grandfather? The old man thought, is your Majesty reminding them to give way to the young people?
In the eyes of most people, Jiang Yu is really lucky. A few years ago, he was a fourth-rank official. Grand Tutor Jiang lost the prime minister's real power and stood up to support Mu Xiang. Jiang Yu went straight to the second-rank. This time Grand Tutor Jiang resigned directly and went home to support his retirement. All fathers and sons of the Jiang family were promoted. However, no matter what, it was at least proved that His Majesty was still nostalgic and gave face to the old ministers. His Majesty was not only good at killing people and intimidating his ministers. So under the circumstances of various discussions, it was revealed that the new female Jinshi Jiang Hui was the daughter of the Jiang family and the powerful people in the imperial city did not rebound or reject too much. They just raised a... "Oh, so that's it" idea.
In the Nangong family's mansion, Nangong Jue was sitting in the study and wiping the Qingfeng sword that had accompanied him for most of his life. Since the war with the Western Regions ended, Nangong Jue has returned to the capital and continued to live his life for more than 20 years, but Nangong Yu continued to stay on the frontier. Over the past few years, Nangong Jue has gradually figured out the key to getting along with Rong Jin and his ministers. No matter what kind of emperor and ministers, the most important thing between the king and his ministers is a degree, which is not enough or not good. The Nangong family's military merits have reached its peak, but he has
As soon as he is old, as long as he is gone, Nangong Yi is in politics, and Nangong Yu has at least twenty or thirty years to go. Nangong Jue is very clear that his son is not a genius. However, this is the best for the Nangong family. Once he is gone, the power of the Nangong family will inevitably weaken, but it just avoids the danger of making His Majesty taboo. In view of his old man who devotes his efforts to the Western Yue Dynasty, as long as the Nangong family does not do anything extraordinary, they will definitely take care of them. The Nangong family will definitely not decline within two or three generations.
In this way... he could also feel at ease to continue fighting for the Western Vietnam.
"Father." Nangong Yi stood at the door, looking at Nangong Jue who was ecstatic with the sword in his hand.
"What's the matter?" Nangong Jue put down the sword in his hand and asked. Now that there is no major matter, he will no longer go to court. If there is any major matter, the emperor will naturally summon it, or Nangong Yi will come back to report. Nangong Yi told the story of the morning court this morning. Nangong was definitely not interested in the resignation of Grand Tutor Jiang. Instead, he was stunned when he heard that Jiang Yu was promoted to Minister of War, and pondered for a while before saying, "It seems that Your Majesty can't wait."
Nangong Yi was stunned, "Why did your father say?"
Nangong Jue said: "Your Majesty is probably planning to send troops. Now, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Works are all young confidants promoted by His Majesty and Mu Xiang. Your Majesty has completely controlled the government. If Jiang Yu is placed in the Ministry of War, it must be that Your Majesty plans to lead the army in person. With Jiang Yu and the Ministry of War, Your Majesty naturally has no worries anymore." Nangong Yi frowned and said: "However, Jiang Yu has just taken office, he is too young and has insufficient qualifications, so I am afraid he can't suppress those people. If Jiang Yu is confused, wouldn't it..."
Nangong Jue shook his head and smiled, "Old Man Jiang just retired, not dead. He would never watch his grandson being bullied. This is also the reason why His Majesty is relieved to hand over the Ministry of War to Jiang Yu. After three dynasties, Old Man Jiang will naturally understand his order when he saw His Majesty's order." Nangong Yi was silent for a while, and then sighed helplessly, "The child is not thinking well, and his father is working hard."
Nangong Jue smiled and said, "No need to do this, you did a good job. Yi'er, Your Majesty will not hand over the Ministry of War to you, so you don't have to feel lost. It's not that Your Majesty does not trust you, but that doing this is the best for you to the Nangong family and the most reassuring for Your Majesty. Although you are not as good as Jiang Yu now, he is the only one in the Jiang family now. You still have a father, younger brother, and King Zhuang. When the king and his ministers get along, not only Your Majesty must balance, but the ministers themselves also need to know how to advance and retreat. If Old Man Jiang had not retreated, Jiang Yu would definitely not be able to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Nangong Yi naturally understood these things. In fact, he was not dissatisfied with any dissatisfaction in his heart, but people always felt a little envious and jealous of those who were particularly lucky. After being reminded by his father, Nangong Yi suddenly woke up. The Nangong family was originally the confidant of King Zhuang, and King Zhuang was originally the emperor's opponent. Now King Zhuang is still valued by the emperor. His father is still a unique general in the Western Yue Dynasty. His younger brother is far away from the border and holds military power. He has won two consecutive victories in just five years since he ascended the throne. What else can he be dissatisfied with? He is actually much luckier than most people.
