Wang Sheng has been staying in Jingu Garden these days.

In fact, it’s not exactly like staying in Jinguyuan.

Wang Sheng still went to Beiying once.

The unit that was separated from Beiying was Zhang Hong's unit.

Although the emperor was a little wary of Zhang Hong, it was obvious that he still believed in Wang Sheng.

At this time, I am afraid it is best to choose to believe.

But besides Zhang Hong, Wang Sheng in Beiying also fell in love with another person - Zhang Guang.

It would be a great thing if we could bring this person with us on this expedition.

That's why.

Wang Sheng still went to Beiying to communicate with this person.

In addition to Beiying, many dignitaries from Luoyang came to make friends and pay homage to Wang Sheng.

The reason is also very simple.

Naturally, it was because of the expedition against Wei County.

Wang Sheng is the commander-in-chief. Positions such as vanguard and army commander cannot be decided by himself, but other positions, such as some positions such as captain and captain, can still be appointed.

And this is also the reason why so many nobles came to see Wang Sheng.

Faced with the visits from these people, Wang Sheng was naturally pleasant. Even though he did not agree, he did not refuse immediately.

Anyone who chooses to go can go, and you can also sell a favor. Everyone knows how to do this kind of thing.

But Wang Sheng also had other worries.

This kind of worry is the situation in the world.

It seems that King Qi's secrets have been exposed in Yingchuan, but the emperor's radical approach may have the opposite effect.

This is why Wang Sheng is worried.

Originally, as the emperor, you just have to develop well. Isn't it good to unite one group of people and deal with another group of people?

Do we have to deal with everyone and let everyone unite?

Thinking of this, Wang Sheng, as a minister, felt a little helpless in his heart.

Can't carry it, can't carry it!

"Xiao Langjun, why are you sighing?"

Just when Wang Sheng was lost in thought, a clear voice came to Wang Sheng's ears.

It's Wei Jie's voice.

This sound is still easy to identify.

Because he had come to Jingu Garden many times, and because Wei Jie was so beautiful, the guards and maids in the mansion had already known him.

Among those slaves, there are probably many who are pregnant with him.

She is so beautiful that she can do whatever she wants.

"No, I just thought about so many people coming to give gifts, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while."

Wang Sheng naturally has a way to deal with it in his mind, but it is also good to complain to Wei Jie.

Just like now, the entire yard in front of him was filled with gift boxes.

As for what was in this gift box, whether it was gold, a jade pendant, calligraphy, painting, or calligraphy, Wang Sheng didn't even open it to look at it.

He doesn't lack any of these things.

Of course, in fact, these people not only sent items, but some also sent many people, such as Mei Ji, Le Nu, skilled craftsmen...

It can be said to be quite diverse.

However, the gift box can be accepted, but this person cannot.

He did not agree to these people.

If he refuses, if this beauty enjoys it, it will not have its original value if it is sent back.

"The Young Master received the mission to conquer Wei County. Naturally, the new nobles in Luoyang wanted to bring their son in. After all, although there were some people in Wei County who were causing trouble, they were just the Huns. And

Your Majesty also asked the sergeants of the Northern Camp of the Chinese Army to take action to defeat the Xiongnu and regain Wei County. It is only a matter of time. This is a credit, a gold-plated credit for safety."

In this world, children of aristocratic families have a certain background and a certain status, but they also need qualifications.

Obviously, this expedition to Wei County is an excellent opportunity for those children of aristocratic families who have already established their status and hold low positions in the court.

This gold plating, if nothing unexpected happens, can save them three years.

Human life is very precious, especially the political life of the children of these aristocratic families.

It can save three years. With these three extra years, maybe we can go further.

This is also the reason why the threshold of Wang Sheng's Golden Valley Garden has been broken through, and the gift boxes in this courtyard are almost filling the courtyard.

"Yes, I have the power of appointment. Is that why these nobles flock to me?"

Wei Jie looked at Wang Sheng's face and vaguely guessed some of Wang Sheng's thoughts.

"Actually, the young man doesn't need to think this way. The nobles from Luoyang want to send their sons and daughters, and they also give gifts to the young man. The young man will take advantage of the situation, and he can also reap the friendship and kindness of these nobles.

, the so-called kindness is hard to repay, in the future, this kind of kindness may be of great use to the young man."

How could Wang Sheng not understand this truth?

The nobles sent people over, and Wang Sheng agreed with them.

The nobles got a golden opportunity, gained their own political capital, and saved years of hard work, and Wang Sheng also gained the friendship of these people.

This is a win-win situation and there is no such injustice.

In fact, this is a deal.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would happily agree.

But Wang Sheng is not someone else. He sees things further.

If the King of Qi had other bargaining chips, it would be a simple matter for him to go to Wei Commandery and deal with the Huns. But if a war broke out in Yingchuan, he would use the same soldiers to deal with the Huns to deal with the King of Qi's army.

It's not that easy anymore.

These noble disciples, not to mention whether they are strong or not, the key is that their composition is very complex.

There is support behind you and a backer.

If someone is killed in the army, many princes and nobles will be involved later.

Wang Sheng found it difficult to move.

Although he is in a high position and most people are not afraid of him, of course he will try not to provoke anyone who can avoid provoking him.

Moreover, there are some people with evil intentions among these people, that is, people from King Qi's side. If Wang Sheng did the matter of placing spies in his army, he would be stupid.

The key is...

What Wang Sheng wants is an army that is loyal to him. If the children of these aristocratic families join, it is obvious that the effect Wang Sheng cannot achieve.

The children of the aristocratic family have always been proud, so I'm afraid they won't take him seriously.

At that time, management will also be a troublesome matter.

Although Wang Sheng had many ideas, they were all completed in just a moment.

"I don't know what Brother Shubao said. It's just that the conquest of Wei County was entrusted to me by Your Majesty. These noble sons may not be capable. If they mess up the big thing, it will be my fault."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has always wanted me to be a lonely minister. After today's incident, Your Majesty may have a grudge in his heart, which is also extremely detrimental to me."

actually...

The two worries Wang Sheng mentioned are not real worries, but they are worries that can be put on the face of the public.

These two concerns were told by Wang Sheng to the guards, to the nobles of Luoyang, and even more to the emperor.

After all, the conquest of Wei County was still a long time coming, and he had to make a gesture first. If he directly accepted these gifts and agreed to these people's requests, I'm afraid the emperor would really think too much.

"It turns out that this is what Xiaolangjun is worried about."

Wei Jie's face showed a look of enlightenment.

"Sure enough, my ideas are still too immature, but I think the young man is thinking far enough."

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the hospital and have a drink. In a few days, I won't have the opportunity to have such leisure time."

The new land tax proposed by Wang Sheng to the emperor may not be easily accepted by these aristocratic families.

In the court hall, I'm afraid there will still be some fights.

By then, let alone drinking with Wei Jie, it is still unknown whether he will be able to sleep a little longer at night.

........

In the evening, the sun sets.

Wang Sheng said goodbye to Wei Jie and returned to the study in the inner courtyard. Zhang Bin was summoned by Wang Sheng and was waiting in the study early.

"Lord."

Wang Sheng glanced at Zhang Bin and nodded lightly.

"Sir, I'm afraid you have also seen the grand scene in a courtyard in the outer courtyard. These gifts from the nobles of Luoyang, I need a courtyard to fully accommodate them."

When Zhang Bin arrived, he had already guessed that this was what Wang Sheng wanted to ask.

"When Cai Chen came down just now, he saw that the lord has a certain right to appoint the generals to defeat the Huns and regain Wei County. It is normal for these people to come to please the lord."

Regarding Zhang Bin's words, Wang Sheng also nodded lightly.

"It's really a normal thing."

"Just this matter, sir, what do you think I should do?"

How to do?

Zhang Bin stroked his beard with his hand, and then said: "If you agree, it will definitely not work. If the lord fully agrees to the expedition to Wei County this time, it will be very inappropriate. First of all, it is His Majesty. If the lord agrees too much,

I'm so happy. Although Your Majesty won't say it, the seeds of dissatisfaction are buried in your heart. If someone is provoking it, it may be a crisis of trust for the monarch, and..."

Zhang Bin took a breath and continued: "Furthermore, this expedition to Wei County is of great importance. The situation in the world is not clear now. Taking these noble sons to gild will inevitably affect the army's combat effectiveness and confuse the future."

The situation is unhelpful, and besides, the lord may have some ideas about this expedition, so it would be even more inappropriate for these nobles to follow us."

"He who knows me is sir."

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "I just don't agree, but it won't work."

"indeed."

Zhang Bin nodded slightly and agreed with Wang Sheng's words.

"If the lord directly refuses, this expedition will not only lose the friendship and kindness of these Luoyang nobles, but will also lead to enemies with these Luoyang nobles. This is something that the lord must never do. Furthermore,

These nobles from Luoyang are also part of the support for this expedition. If they are gone, the food problem will probably be a worry for our lord again."

Wang Sheng knew that what Zhang Bin said was true.

When aristocratic families give birth to people, in order to show their sincerity, they will also pay some money.

For one family or two, it is nothing, but if the number is larger, the amount of food and salary will be considerable.

At that time, Wang Sheng's method of conquering Qi Wannian was this.

It's just the kind that makes aristocratic families bleed.

Now, of course, we can't do what we did back then.

After all, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of being bitten for ten years.

"In other words, you have to choose between these."

When you are a human being, you should pay attention to one degree.

This is the golden mean.

If you are too energetic, you can easily hurt others and even more easily hurt yourself.

But without perseverance, nothing can be accomplished.

Now Wang Sheng is trying to find the golden mean that suits him best among the choices.

"Young nobles, it is impossible to reject them all."

This point is beyond doubt.

Wang Sheng can offend some people, but he can never offend everyone.

"Second, it's fine to let these honorable men and nobles watch aside. Positions can be given, but they cannot interfere in military affairs."

In other words, it is the function of a vase.

Zhang Bin quickly understood the meaning of Wang Sheng's words.

"My lord means that I want to separate these noble disciples."

"right!"

Wang Sheng's eyes were bright.

"Just divide them up and form a song among these noble disciples. Everyone can have a higher position. No one is a pawn. They can bring their own people over. There is no limit to the number of people. For the most basic merits, I will guarantee them

, but how to get ahead depends on their own efforts."

"My lord, this idea is really good."

In fact, this is not Wang Sheng’s first initiative.

During the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing happened.

"In this way, there is no need to offend the noble lord of Luoyang, and these people will not be able to disrupt the order of the army."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"In this song of nobles and nobles, you have to find someone with dignity to control the whole town."

But this selection may not be an easy task.

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"It's not urgent yet. Now that we have the method, it would be nice to have more details."

Zhang Bin also nodded underground.

"My Lord, since His Majesty said that there will be no change in Yingchuan, are we, the people in the field, going to Yingchuan?"

Going to Yingchuan?

Wang Sheng wanted to refuse at that time.

Now Yingchuan is the headquarters of King Sima Ji of Qi. He is the Marquis of Guangyuan, a trusted minister and favorite of the emperor. If my people are working in Yingchuan, aren't they looking for death?

"Sir, I'm afraid now is not the time?"

Now is really not the time.

"But if you don't send people to farm the land, King Qi will definitely be suspicious. This will not be a good thing for the lord or your majesty."

This is what Zhang Bin was worried about.

Wang Sheng thought for a moment and found that Zhang Bin's worries were not completely unreasonable.

But no matter what, the danger involved is still too great.

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"No, it's still too dangerous."

Zhang Bin, who didn't think about this, had a sinister smile on his face.

"My Lord, you don't need to send your own confidants to send people there. Ordinary people or enemies of the Lord can do it. Firstly, they can eliminate King Qi's doubts. Secondly, they can kill people with a borrowed knife. Thirdly, Lord, didn't you say

Is Pan Yue already a spy? I'm afraid these people can better cooperate with Pan Yue's actions if they go there."

What Zhang Bin said was indeed a good idea, but it inevitably made Wang Sheng feel slightly uncomfortable. After all, although there were people in Luoyang who had different political views from him, when it came to murdering lives, I'm afraid there was still no such thing.

However, this idea only stayed in Wang Sheng's mind for a moment.

There is actually no difference between a battle in the court and a battle on the battlefield, except that the former is a bloody battle, while the latter is a bloodless battle, or a battle with relatively little bloodshed.

So Wang Sheng thought for a moment, glanced at Zhang Bin, and said softly:
Chapter completed!
