Chapter 303 Win-Win
"Wang Zhonghe? Before, Grand Secretary Cai You and Cai clearly stated that Cai Tao was responsible for handling matters in Jiangnan for Cai Xiang. Why did he replace him so quickly?
If the official remembers correctly, Wang Zhonglu is your father-in-law, Mount Tai!"
Are you going to take the blame for your son by taking the blame?
It's really cruel!
Jiang Chen pretended to be puzzled, but his eyes were full of contempt and mockery.
Um-
Cai Jing's face was so angry that his face was pitch black, and his head was thrust and thunderous.
When Song Yunheng saw this, he shouted angrily: "Jiang Chen, enough! Are you questioning the prime minister of the dynasty? Wang Zhonglu is responsible for handling Jiangnan affairs and then handed over to Cai Xiang through Cai Tao. Is there anything wrong?"
"That's it! He actually openly slandered the great master of the dynasty for the sake of just a few thousand war horses, which is very selfish!
No wonder everyone says that Lord Jiang is trusting that the Heavenly Book is in hand and does not take the laws and regulations of the court and the ministers seriously!”
Song Yunheng echoed loudly.
Cao Kuo stared at Jiang Chen with a bad look and said, "Children, have you never heard of lions fighting with rabbits and using all their strength?
If someone dares to be ill-intentioned, the Duke of the country will cut off Fang La's head and flatten them one by one! What are you worried about?"
After saying that, he knelt on one knee to Song Huizong and asked: "The official family, the old minister is willing to lead troops to Jiangnan to wipe out the Fang La rebellion for you! I beg the official family to allow it!"
"Old Duke, please get up!"
Although Song Huizong was unhappy and grabbed Cao Kuo, who refused to let go of military power for a long time, he looked respectful and caring, saying:
"I am very pleased that the Duke of Cao is old and the heroic spirit is here!
But good steel is to be used on the blade. You are still going to be able to accumulate energy and wait to recover the Sixteen State of Yanyun for me. Why do you need to take action yourself if you are a mere bandit in Jiangnan?"
"Official family, I am old minister..."
Cao Kuo still had to fight for it, but Song Huizong raised his hand and interrupted:
"Before, because of the bet between Yuan Chang and Liangchen, I have already agreed to Liangchen. If Zhu Jie could not pacify Jiangnan before the autumn harvest, he would let him lead the troops to quell the rebellion. How could he go back on his word? You must know that you have no jokes!"
"The chief of the Yuan Dynasty must have never forgotten this matter, right?"
As Song Huizong spoke, he looked at Cai Jing with a little dissatisfaction.
Cai Jing's eyelids twitched in fear and immediately realized something was wrong.
He didn't know that Song Huizong was about to take advantage of the matter of destroying Lao Ganzi to completely regain the military power of the Cao family and other old honors and further strengthen the imperial power; he didn't know that the culprit that failed his plan was his good nephew Cai Xie.
He looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and said, "Old minister naturally remembers it! However, Jiang Chen was young and had no experience in commanding troops. If he had three or two shortcomings, wouldn't the prehistoric scripture and the secret recipes in it be peerless?
Please think twice, don’t let Jiang Chen take risks easily!”
"Jiang Chen is in charge of the country, so he must not be mistaken. Please think twice about the official!"
"I also oppose that Jiang Chen leads his troops to fight! If he accidentally falls into Fang La's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Cao Kuo, Song Yunheng, Bai Shizhong and others all spoke out against it.
"I thank you for your concern and love!"
Jiang Chen was amused and said confidently: "Please rest assured that Fang La's rebellion was not because of how powerful he was, but because Zhu Jie's ferocious beast, which was reincarnated by Zhu Yan, had been evil in Jiangnan for many years, and had completely lost the hearts of the people and aroused the public's anger.
Therefore, as long as Zhu Jie is convicted, the banner of "killing Zhu Jie and killing Tong Guan" that Fang La will be defeated halfway. By then, properly resettling refugees will be able to easily quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and there will be no great war or danger!
Is there anyone in the court who is better at placing refugees than officials? You have already seen the Yuqing Villa?"
this……
Cao Gu and others frowned at the same time. Conviction of Zhu Xie would definitely win the hearts of the people and the praise of Shilin in the entire Jiangnan. They also wanted this credit.
So they said firmly: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of anything! Master Jiang is in charge of the country's welfare and must not take risks. Doesn't this mean that all the civil and military officials in the court are useless people?"
"I firmly disagree. Jiang Chen, don't be so unlucky!
For your safety, even if you have a bad reputation of saying something but not believing, you will never agree to let you go to Jiangnan to quell the chaos!”
Cai Jing was anxious and pulled Jiang Chen's arm, showing an expression of my good intentions for you.
Well--
You're so shameless, right?
Jiang Chen was so angry that his head was buzzing, and he was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Gao Qiu smiled at Song Huizong and said, "Officials, if you, Cai Xiang and others are worried about the safety of Liangchen, why not let me accompany him to quell the rebellion?
I am willing to issue a military order to ensure that Jiang Chen will return safely and return with triumphant success!”
Upon hearing this, Cai Jing, Cao Kuo and others were stunned. Unexpectedly, Gao Qiu had the idea of making contributions and suddenly made such a move.
However, Jiang Chen looked at Gao Qiu with relief, thinking that his previous investment in the Gao family was not in vain, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to bow to Song Huizong:
"Master, Master Gao won every battle in the Western Army and made many extraordinary achievements. If Master Gao was commanded by Master Gao, and his master had already arranged the old master Zong Zezong on Huaian South Road, he would have absolutely no mistake!"
"Okay! Liangchen is very good. Today I will officially sign Gao Qiu and Liangchen as the left and right marshals, leading the Long Guard Army and the Jimin Army to quell the rebellion!
After the food and grass are ready, I will go and take the head of Fang La for me!"
Song Huizong originally intended to let Gao Qiu gradually take over the imperial guards. Seeing that Jiang Chen was willing to give up his merits, he immediately agreed happily.
Although Fang La's rebellion became more and more powerful day by day, under the slander of Cai Jing, Tan Zhen and others, Song Huizong still believed that it was just a group of unnamed refugee bandits and did not pay any attention to it.
"Thank you, the official!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Gao Qiu and Jiang Chen looked at each other and were both extremely satisfied with the result.
Gao Qiu was satisfied because he had made contributions and could also take advantage of the opportunity to fight to rectify and clean up the imperial guards under his command, and take full control as quickly as possible.
When Jiang Chen was satisfied, the matter was finalized and with Gao Qiu, a powerful ally, there was no need to worry too much about Cai Jing stumbling.
After all, Gao Qiu was the absolute confidant of Song Huizong. He was with him when he was Duan Wang. His speaking weight was no less than that of Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, and it was even more effective.
Otherwise, Song Huizong would not have worked hard to operate and was determined to let Gao Qiu take over the entire imperial guards, which shows his inner trust in Gao Qiu!
Seeing this, Cai Jing and Cao Kuo were both depressed!
But the imperial edict of Emperor Huizong of Song was issued. Even if they were unwilling to accept it, they would not dare to refute it. They could only keep a gloomy face and not speak.
When Song Huizong saw this, he comforted him: "Duke Cao and Yuanchang should not be disappointed. After the rebellion in Jiangnan is pacified, there will be a big battle to conquer Liao. There are some opportunities for you to be loyal to me!"
