Chapter 355 Confrontation (2)
In the matter of going to the Central Plains to provide disaster relief, Zhao Xun, the King of Qi, was opposed by some ministers, but in the silence of the vast majority of the right prime ministers, they were finally passed.
A few days ago, Zhao Zhi summoned Yang Daosi alone. What the two said was unknown to outsiders. Today, the King of Qi was entrusted with important tasks and went to Hedong to preside over the comprehensive work of disaster relief. No one from the Right Prime Minister's Party stood up to oppose it. Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi should have had a private exchange. Without Yang Daosi's clear statement, the Right Prime Minister's Party dared not do anything randomly about the major incidents of the King of Qi.
Zhao Zhi let King Zhao Xun go to the Central Plains, and a discerning person could tell at a glance that he was preparing to build a reputation and win over the people's hearts. The next step may be to promote him to the crown prince.
The official assessment matter and the discussions between the ministers have come to an end.
The Wing King Zhao He silently looked at Zhao Xun opposite him, his eyes wide and he didn't know what he was thinking.
King Zhao Shuo of Chu sat there quietly, his eyes closed. It was almost two hours since the beginning of the court meeting, and he was still motionless from beginning to end, as if he was asleep.
After Zheng Renjie, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, reported his opinions on the official examination and received the approval of most court officials, Zheng Renjie stepped down and sat back on his chair.
The two main topics of the court meeting today have been discussed, so there should be nothing wrong, but... many people know that this is just the beginning, and a more exciting program will be released soon.
Zhao Zhi's eyes inadvertently glanced at the Wing King Zhao He, then looked at the ministers and said indifferently: "The time is almost over. If it's okay, let's scatter the court."
As Zhao Zhi spoke, everyone in the hall breathed for a moment. Many officials who knew the details looked at the Wing King Zhao He and the King Zhao Xun of Qi. They would not pay too much attention to Li Xun, because Zhao He and Zhao Xun were the real protagonists of today's court meeting.
"Your Majesty, please report if you have any questions."
Zhan Taiyi Heng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, walked out of the court, came to the middle of the hall, bowed and said loudly.
Zhao Zhi said indifferently: "If you have something to do, report it."
"Your Majesty, now our Dajin and Dashi have a good relationship. With the establishment of the Maritime Bureau, the benefits brought by trade have become increasingly greater. In time, it will definitely become the second largest source of taxes for our Dajin except Jiangnan. Such an important place, I suggest that a smart and capable person with sufficient reputation should be sent to take charge, so that we can ensure that we can be safe."
"I agree with what Zhan Tai Yi Heng said."
As soon as Zhan Taiyi Heng's voice fell.
The Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall, the Minister of Political Affairs, and the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Xiao Hui immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although there are 80,000 soldiers in Longyou, there are less than 20,000 soldiers in the entire Longyou West Road, among which Wuzhou has only 10,000 soldiers. Wuzhou is the forefront of the military of the entire Longyou Road. It is still a bit inappropriate for the few soldiers. Although our Dajin and Dashi are now in good relations, there are only interests between countries. How can there be feelings? When will the military fronts rise again, no one can be sure of us."
"Your Majesty, the words of Prime Minister Xiao and Zhan Tai Yiheng, I agree that the land of Wuzhou is of great importance, and its military strength should indeed be strengthened. If the employment of people is not properly carried out, another vassal state may be formed. I suggest that Your Majesty can choose a prince and go to Wuzhou to serve as a position. The court can rest assured, and Your Majesty can rest assured."
"I'm going to discuss it."
The ministers came out to submit petitions one after another, all of which were the same. Wuzhou was very important and a heavyweight figure needed to be sent to take charge.
Li Xun, who was behind the scene, looked at the scene ahead, who seemed to be acting, and couldn't help but sneer on his face.
These people are really ridiculous. Isn’t they just the same thing? They want to replace themselves as the governor of Wuzhou. They say that Wuzhou is very important and requires the prince to be in charge to be foolproof. Isn’t they just talking about the Wing King Zhao He? They just didn’t say the name explicitly, but who doesn’t understand it in their hearts?
As for what kind of military generals are not credible, the prince is his own person, Li Xun even thinks this is simply a big joke. If the general has military power, as long as it is not a chaos in the world, he will only dominate the side and dare not do too much. Once the prince has territory and military power, his ambitions will not dominate the side, because everyone has the same surname. If you can be the emperor, why can't I?
"Brother, it seems that your situation is not very good!"
Zhang Jin turned his head and whispered to Li Xun.
Li Xun sneered and said, "What's wrong with it? The sky falls, so there is naturally a tall one holding it."
Zhang Jin looked at Li Xun deeply. At this time, he was still so calm, and I think there must be a solution to it.
Zhang Jin was thinking too much. Li Xun had no idea what situation the situation would be heading. Although just yesterday, Zhao Xun summoned Li Xun to the Qi Palace, which showed that Liu Zhigu would help him in today's court meeting, it is still unknown whether he could defeat the plan of King Wing. After all, Zhao Zhi still agreed to let King Wing go to Wuzhou to serve. If Zhao Zhi could not change Zhao Zhi's idea, it would be useless to say too much.
King of Wings Zhao He looked at the court officials' inverted suggestions, but there was no joy on his face, and his mood became heavier, because... Until now, no one stood up to speak, and something abnormal would happen. How could Zhao He not understand this truth? His intention to seize Li Xun's military power is equivalent to killing half of the King of Qi. Can Zhao Xun sit and wait for death?
Looking at the ministers who were speaking below, Zhao Zhi leaned back slightly, leaned on the back of the chair, and his face became playful. His fingers gently tapped the table and squinted his eyes. He did not rush to express his opinions, but just listened quietly as the ministers kept talking.
Xiao Zheng and Zhan Taiyiheng also saw an abnormality at this time. The two looked at each other, as if they had exchanged opinions in their eyes. Then, Zhan Taiyiheng said again: "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks what I have reported?"
Zhan Taiyi Heng spoke, and the ministers next to him immediately closed their mouths.
“Your advice is very good.”
Zhao Zhi nodded, said lightly, then sat upright, looked at the prime minister of the other government affairs halls, and asked, "Do you have any objections to the suggestions of Xiao Zheng and others?"
Liu Zhongyuan and others didn't know what to say for a while.
When King Yi was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Hedongdao Jiedushi, he was strongly opposed by many ministers. Zhao Zhi forced this appointment. He Dongdao was not far from the capital. The court could see it and also take care of it. Now that he was asked to go to Longyou, can the court still take care of it?
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Are you discussing it?"
Li Zhong stood up and said tentatively.
After Li Zhong became the Left Prime Minister, he has always been very low-key. As long as the affairs in the court are not related to military aspects, there is little to say, but he knows that the Wing King Zhao He wants to go to Wuzhou. Li Zhong has always opposed this and also talks about many pros and cons, but Zhao Zhi never listened to it.
