Chapter 1197 1198 [Thousands of Miles of Happy Wind] (12)

There is a row of inconspicuous houses in the southeast corner of the imperial city, which is the central political hall of the Daliang court.

Countless memorials are sent here every day. The two governors and three political advisors are each responsible for one. They formulate their opinions and then discuss them publicly. Finally, they are sent to the imperial study for review by His Majesty the Emperor.

When the sun was setting, Han Gongduan, the ruler on the right, came to the duty room of Luo Ting, the ruler on the left, waved his hand to several people from Zhongshushe to leave, then sat next to him and sighed softly.

Luo Ting put down the memorial in his hand, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows lightly, and asked calmly: "Why are you sighing?"

Han Gongduan remained silent.

Luo Ting glanced at him in confusion and asked: "Are you worried about the war in the western border? Guliang can attack and defend well, and it is difficult for Xiwu to take advantage of him. As long as the border army persists until the beginning of March, the two battalions of the Beijing army will

Then we can reach the border, and the war will definitely enter a stalemate by then, and Xiwu will not be able to sustain it for too long."

Han Gongduan smiled and said leisurely: "Brother Ji Yu, Yu brother is not worried about the war in the Western Region. Although Yu brother is not familiar with military affairs, he does not doubt the strategizing ability of Marquis Guangping. It's just that I can't help but feel sad when I think of another thing.

I am afraid that even His Majesty did not expect that the two governments would be so harmonious during this period and that they would complement each other well together."

Luo Ting's eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "What do you want to say?"

Han Gongduan said: "From the beginning of the founding of Daliang to the present, the relations between the two governments have not been very harmonious, because the civil servants did not want Wu Xun to have too much real power, and vice versa. Although there is pressure from the border war this time,

The operation speed of Xifu is even faster than when Wang Pingzhang took power. Brother Ji Yu, Duke Wei has only been in charge of Xifu for two months."

Luo Ting was silent for a moment, then stood up, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one of them to Han Gongduan.

The tea was slightly hot, but Luo Ting seemed not to notice it, and seemed to be savoring the light bitterness of the tea.

After a long time, he put down the tea cup and said: "There is no need to elaborate on the ability of Duke Wei, and his prestige and qualifications can be controlled by those below. Those officials in the Xifu have been tempered for many years, and they naturally understand what it means to protect oneself wisely. At this juncture, no one dares to be perfunctory.

."

Han Gongduan shook his head and said: "After all, it was too fast. It was so fast that it made people think that Duke Wei had been ready to take over the West Mansion a long time ago."

This sentence means a lot.

Luo Ting looked at him steadily.

Han Gongduan continued: "Young brother has only come back to his senses these days. When Duke Wei originally proposed to restore the border army's camp control, he never thought that he would be able to leave the capital. Instead, he focused on the two military aircraft. Waiting for Guangping Hou and Xiang Hou

After the Marquis of the City leaves the capital, once war breaks out, Duke Wei can legitimately take charge of the Western Palace, and even His Majesty cannot bypass him and appoint another person."

He paused slightly and then his tone gradually became serious: "In just two months, the Xifu has replaced eleven middle- and lower-level officials. Although there is real evidence for Duke Wei's dismissal of them, coincidentally, most of these people have been under the supervision of the Marquis of Xiangcheng.

support. In short, Xifu is gradually becoming the official voice of Duke Wei."

Luo Ting frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Since there is real evidence, Duke Wei Guo's actions are beyond reproach."

Han Gongduan did not refute, but changed the subject: "The assassination case on Gushui Street implicated more than thirty officials from the DPRK and China. I am not trying to defend these traitors, but what is shocking is that these people

There is one thing in common, that is, they are not of high rank but hold real power. Yudi has another doubt about this matter. With the skills that Duke Wei has shown over the years, how could those brave and loyal soldiers allow assassins to appear in his territory?

before?"

Luo Ting was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Junxing Gong said before his death that the most taboo thing in the court is unfounded charges."

Of course Han Gongduan understood the profound meaning of Mo Haoli's words. Hearing this, he sighed lightly: "Whether the assassination on Gushui Street was done by Duke Wei to set up the situation? I really have no evidence, but combined with the many weird things that happened after the late emperor's death, it is a coincidence."

There were too many. After that assassination, the enemy's secret agents hidden in Kyoto were wiped out, a large number of vacancies appeared in the court, and many people were promoted."

He stared into Luo Ting's eyes and asked slowly: "If they are all from Duke Wei, plus Xifu and Beiying, as well as several ministers with ambiguous attitudes, what kind of power will this have? Even if Wei Guogong is not involved, what kind of power will they have?"

Putting aside the influence of the Duke of Guo on the border army and the influence of the Xiangyun on the people's livelihood in Kyoto, has Brother Ji Yu never been worried about the huge power he currently controls?"

"What if I say I'm not worried?"

Luo Ting asked calmly.

Han Gongduan was slightly startled. Seeing that the other party was not joking, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Today's Duke Wei is an out-and-out powerful minister, and it is difficult to check and balance him. If this continues, the structure of the court will be completely unbalanced.

"

Luo Ting stood up again, holding the pot and pouring tea. Seeing that the teacup in front of Han Gong was still seventy full, he smiled and said, "Take some tea first."

Han Gongduan couldn't help but said helplessly: "Luo is in power!"

"I understand your concerns." Luo Ting filled up his tea cup, then sat down and said, "Do you think Pei Yue has a disobedient heart, whether it is controlling the Xifu, or using the Gushui Street assassination case to install people in the court?

He has close personal relationships with Sheng Duanming, Jian Rong and others, all of which point to his evil intentions."

"Isn't it right?"

"Yes or no." Luo Ting smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "From a common sense point of view, a minister with such fame and power is enough to arouse everyone's fear. But those principles that are universally applicable...

It cannot be applied to Pei Yue. Haven't you seen yet that Pei Yue is an outlier among Wu Xun's relatives?"

Han Gongduan looked slightly confused.

Luo Ting said warmly: "If you think about it carefully, is Pei Yue greedy for powerful people?"

Han Gongduan subconsciously wanted to refute. Judging from the turmoil in the court in the past few months, couldn't it prove Pei Yue's desire to seize power? But out of respect for Luo Ting, he seriously thought about Pei Yue's decision to ascend to the court.

What he did after that, his expression gradually became weird.

Upon seeing this, Luo Ting said: "From the third year of Kaiping to the late Emperor's great campaign, in these five years, Pei Yue went from a concubine to a first-class prince. Except for recommending Jian Rong to me, he never interfered.

No official was appointed or dismissed. Of course, you can also think that this is because Pei Yue was too scheming to show his feet in front of the late emperor."

He said unhurriedly: "Actually, you still don't understand. The appointment of Pei Yue as the auxiliary minister by the late emperor shows that there is some unknown tacit understanding or agreement between him and Pei Yue. I have never doubted the determination and determination of the late emperor.

courage, if

He believed that Pei Yue needed to be eliminated, and Pei Yue would not survive until now. Although Your Majesty is still young and immature, there is one thing he did very well, that is, he believed in the arrangements of the late emperor. Perhaps this was also the reason why the late emperor chose him.

"

Han Gongduan gradually understood and sighed: "In the past, many people thought that the second or fourth prince was stronger than your majesty, but now they know that your majesty is worthy of the evaluation of being wise and foolish."

Luo Ting said: "Of course, I completely understand your concerns. After all, Pei Yue is still very young, but you have to understand that things are always moving forward. In any case, Pei Yue is a minister after all, and no matter how much he does, it is just for himself.

Guarantee cannot fundamentally shake the stability of the imperial power. In his

While moving forward step by step, isn't His Majesty becoming more mature? To put it bluntly, Pei Yue needs time to gain a firm foothold, and His Majesty also needs time to master the court. After a few years, His Majesty will be able to sit more comfortably.

It's safe, no minister can threaten the emperor's safety."

Han Gongduan nodded slightly.

Luo Ting smiled gently and said calmly: "Not to mention the serious border war now, from a long-term perspective, forcing Pei Yue is the stupidest choice. As long as you and I keep our eyes open and keep an eye on him, and Wang Pingzhang

Having learned from the past, Pei Yue should understand the weight of the word "righteous name". In my opinion, he just wants to do something practical for Daliang, and he looks at the problem very clearly and will not do anything unbearable."

Han Gongduan said sincerely: "I would like to be taught."

Luo Ting waved his hand, glanced at the files on the table, and said with emotion: "It seems that I have to light up the lamp again today, so you can stay and help me share some of the burden."

Han Gongduan said respectfully: "How dare you disobey your orders."
