Chapter 626 Deng Sheng's Worries

Chapter 627: Deng Sheng's Worries

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on August [-]th, Deng Jun used Sima Shang, the captain of the south, to invite the king into the urn, and encircled and suppressed the Qiang Rangers in Lintao City. The main general Ma Zun and the deputy Ma Ting were captured alive. Putting down their weapons and surrendering, and after the victory, Deng Jun was faced with the issue of how to deal with the five thousand Qiang rangers and their chief general Ma Zun and deputy general Ma Ting.

"What's there to discuss? A group of barbarians, why don't you just kill them? To save food from being wasted." Chang Mao said, in his opinion, this group of captives is a burden, not to mention, these captives, except Other than Ma Zun and Ma Ting, they were all Qiang people, so it would be no pity to kill them.

But as soon as Chang Mao said this, Tozuo was very dissatisfied. The Qiang Rangers are barbarians, so what is he?However, in view of Chang Mao's status and family background, he could not provoke him, in order not to cause trouble for the ethnic group, Tozuo had to endure it.

"No general!" At this time, Jia Xu, who has always been good at guessing people's hearts, noticed Tozuo's strangeness, so he said: "The Ma clan has a high prestige in Xiliang, and Ma Zun, as the eldest son of the Ma clan, is a The status is very high, and Ma Zhi still has [-] Qin troops in his hands. If we kill Ma Zun, Ma Zhi will have no room for maneuver. No, that would have to make Ma Zhi scruples and scruples."

"In the same way, all the Qiang Rangers come from the major Qiang tribes in Xiliang, and they are all the most elite of the major tribes. If my father Deng wants to rule the counties of Xiliang in the future, the support of the Qiang people is absolutely necessary. At least, if we massacre these 5000 people, we will have a blood feud with the Qiang people, and the Qiang people will not trust me in the future." Jia Xu continued.

What Jia Xu said made Li Siye nod his head again and again, and said: "What the military master said is true. In this way, Ma Zun, Ma Ting and five thousand Qiang Rangers will not be able to kill them!"

"Not only can't be killed, but I have to make offerings, so that I can show my big heart!" Jia Xu said, nodding his head.

"But how should we deal with it? Ma Zun and Ma Ting are alright, and our army does not lack food for these two men, but there are a full 5000 Qiang Rangers, although it will not affect our army's food and grass. supply, but if our army and the Qin army fight fiercely, it will be too late to repent!" Li Siye said.

"General, we can send them to Wudu County and Hanzhong County in batches. It's not a big problem to house two or 300 people in one city. As for Ma Zun and Ma Ting, we can take them with us!" At this time , Said Su Yun, Wudang Guards Master.

It is impossible to march with these [-] captives, and it would be inappropriate to find a place to settle them alone. After all, the main force of the Deng Army will continue to march towards the counties of Xiliang, and at most there will only be some places left behind. The defenders, facing [-] elite Qiang people, are prone to problems, so after much deliberation, it is more appropriate to arrange them separately.

Li Siye thought for a while, then nodded and said: "What Su Junjun said is quite appropriate, so how about this, I will send a letter of this repair book to the Nanzheng Zhuge Inspector, so that he is ready to accept the job, as long as the situation is settled Five thousand Qiang rangers, then we will continue to march!"

"Here!" Everyone responded.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch. Just as Li Siye and others finally decided how to place the five thousand Qiang riders after discussing in Lintao City, Deng Sheng from Wancheng who was thousands of miles away also met a different person. Big or small trouble.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on August [-]th, in Qianyang Palace, Wancheng, Deng Hao stood up and said to Deng Sheng: "Father, the Beijing examination for this year's imperial examination has ended, and the department has selected the most outstanding three hundred Famous students will hold the palace examination five days later, I wonder if the emperor has anything to say?"

Since the 23rd year of Qianyuan, the imperial examination system has become the main official selection system in Deng. It is divided into county examinations, road examinations, Beijing examinations, and palace examinations. 300 people were selected as Jinshi.

"The imperial examination is a major event in the country and should not be ignored. This year's imperial examination will be presided over by you in the Jingyang Hall, assisted by Wang Meng, the Minister of the Ministry of Education. These three hundred Jinshi are all talents from my great Deng. You must maintain a humble attitude. Don't be negligent!" Deng Sheng thought for a while, and decided to let Deng Hao preside over the palace examination. In the past, every palace examination was presided over by Deng Sheng himself, but now Deng Hao is already a young man, and this group of Jinshi After becoming an official, most of them go to the local government, and they will definitely not return to the central government in ten or eight years. That is to say, this group of people will be the backbone of Deng Hao's governance of the world in the future. Let Deng Hao establish prestige.

As for the Minister of the Ministry of Education, this is not a fixed candidate, it is rotated every three years, and this time the Minister of the Ministry of Education is the Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Meng.

"Here! Then I don't know what the exam questions are for the palace exam?" Deng Hao asked again. The palace exam is different from the county exam, Taoist exam, and Beijing exam. The questions are all set by the department, but the palace exam is set by the emperor himself.

This is really not up to Deng Hao to decide, because only the emperor himself can raise the country's attention. Deng Sheng thought for a while and said, "The question of the imperial examination today is, how to rule the world?"

"How to rule the world?" Deng Hao was a little stunned. This question is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. Since Deng Sheng ascended the throne, various systems have been gradually improved. It's too big a problem, but the difficulty lies in how to make a breakthrough, but this exam question is difficult because all aspects of Deng Guo are relatively perfect now, but as long as you are familiar with the various systems of the imperial court, it is not particularly difficult. But Deng Hao felt that it was difficult to see the gap in this exam question, unless it was an amazing talent.

"That's right, it's how to rule the world!" Deng Sheng said with certainty. This question is already a commonplace question, but many people may be limited to the scope of Deng's existing territory, but the world Deng Sheng mentioned is not It refers to the current territory of Deng State, but the whole world. As far as the current momentum is concerned, as long as there are no major accidents, Deng State’s unification of the world is already a certainty, so what Deng Sheng wants is how to govern Qin and Qin. Zhao Di's good strategy, but Deng Sheng will not say it clearly.

"Here, my son, let's discuss specific matters with Wang Shangshu!" Now that he got the answer he wanted, Deng Hao planned to discuss with Wang Meng. After all, after having a topic, there needs to be a criterion for judging.

"No hurry, I still have something to ask you!" Just as Deng Hao was about to leave, Deng Sheng stopped him.

"I don't know what else is going on with the emperor?" Deng Hao asked puzzled.

Deng Sheng said to the servant Gui Xiang who was standing beside him: "Gui Xiang, retreat to the left and right, no one is allowed to approach Qianyang Palace without my order!"

"Here!" Gui Xiang responded, and then asked everyone to leave, and he also left, closing the palace gate.

In Qianyang Palace at this time, only Deng Sheng and Deng Hao and his son were left.

"I heard that there is some unhappiness between you and Hu Weiyong?" Deng Sheng asked Deng Hao.

Hearing this, Deng Hao smiled wryly and said: "Father sees thousands of miles away, but in fact, there is no conflict between my minister and Prime Minister Hu. It's just that there are some disagreements in political opinions. It's not a big problem. Prime Minister Hu is also thinking about the court." Not long ago, Between Deng Hao and Hu Weiyong, because on some matters, Deng Hao and Hu Weiyong had some different opinions, and there were some conflicts between them. Deng Hao actually didn't take it seriously. Who knew that Deng Sheng would know up.

"Hao'er, what kind of person do you think Hu Weiyong is?" Deng Sheng asked again.

Deng Hao thought for a while, and said: "Hu Xiang is the pillar of the country, with great ability, and he is also very inspiring to my ministers!" Deng Hao said.

"I'm not asking you these things. You don't need to tell me what Hu Weiyong is capable of. I know better than you. I'm asking you. What do you think of Hu Weiyong?" Deng Sheng was a little dissatisfied with Deng Hao's answer. Of course he knew that Hu Weiyong was capable, otherwise He will not hand over Shangshu Province to him, but what Deng Sheng wants to know more is Deng Hao's opinion of Hu Weiyong.

"Father, Xiangnai Hu is the senior of my son, it's not appropriate to talk about it behind his back!" Deng Hao replied.

"What's wrong? You are the prince, and the crown prince is also the king. No matter how powerful Hu Weiyong is, no matter how old his qualifications are, no matter how senior he is, he is still your subject. What can't you say?" Deng Sheng said.

"Since my father asked, I said bluntly that this is just my son's opinion. If there is something wrong, please correct me!" Since Deng Sheng insisted on asking, Deng Hao had no choice but to answer truthfully. up.

"Let's hear it!" Deng Sheng said while sitting.

"Hu Xiang is very capable, but he is too power-hungry and sometimes selfish. Since he became Minister of the Book, he has promoted many former students and old officials in various places. However, I have also inspected it. These people are capable." Deng Hao said.

"But I heard that he disrespected you in many things?" Deng Sheng said with a straight face.

"It's not that I'm disrespectful. Prime Minister Hu is one of the three prime ministers after all, and he's a veteran minister for many years. If I see something wrong with my minister, I just want to point it out!" Deng Hao said.

"It's right to mention one or two points, but he shouldn't refute your face in front of many officials. This is not the way of a minister!" Deng Sheng said.

Hearing this, Deng Hao had to smile wryly. It seems that Deng Sheng knew a lot. Deng Hao didn't take these things seriously at first, but he didn't expect Deng Sheng to be so fussy!

"I'm not dead yet, but he's so domineering. If you succeed in the future, will he take you seriously?" Deng Sheng's eyes showed fierceness, which startled Deng Hao. How many years has it been? He had never seen Deng Sheng's eyes like this before, and Deng Hao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Father, Prime Minister Hu is inseparable from today's imperial court!" Deng Hao thought that Deng Sheng was going to take Hu Weiyong into action, so he quickly persuaded him. In front of his eyes, Deng Hao didn't want to see Deng Sheng deal a cruel blow.

"Humph! My Great Deng has come out in large numbers. A single Hu Weiyong will not affect the operation of the court, but you are right. Today's Great Deng is in troubled times. The battle against Qin has not yet been decided. Hu Weiyong is still useful. I hope he can restrain himself in the future!" Deng Sheng sneered.

Although Hu Weiyong is very capable, in Deng Sheng's eyes, he is just a transitional prime minister. If Jiang Wan is not old, and Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Wang Meng and others have not fully grown up, when will Shang Shuling's position be? Is it Hu Weiyong's turn?I thought that after a few years, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Wang Meng and others would grow up and be qualified to be prime ministers, and they would give Hu Weiyong a decent curtain call, but who would have thought that Hu Weiyong could be such a demon? Hu Weiyong was greedy for power and position. I have always known, but as long as he is still there, Hu Weiyong will not be able to make any troubles. However, Hu Weiyong insists on his high position and power, arbitrarily installs cronies, and disrespects the prince. This is not what Deng Sheng is happy to see.

Deng Sheng has reached the age of knowing the destiny, and he has to think about the things behind him. There is a system. Deng Sheng is not worried about Hu Weiyong's loyalty to himself, but a person's personality cannot be interfered by the system. When Deng Sheng was alive, Hu Weiyong No matter how powerful the desire for power is, he dare not act recklessly, but once he is gone, can Deng Hao still restrain Hu Weiyong?This is what Deng Sheng had to consider.

"I intend to decree to appoint Jiang Wan as the crown prince and tutor to assist you in handling the government affairs!" Deng Sheng said.

"But father, Han Guogong has already retired, and he is not too young. Isn't it appropriate to do so?" The unspoken rule has always been the default, although there is no express regulation, but after the official reaches the age of 60, he will gradually retreat to the second line, which has become a tacit understanding. There will be no objection.

"It's nothing inappropriate. I just asked him to assist you. It's not a decision-making. Everything depends on you. He gives advice from the side. I tell you, if there is anyone else who can hold Hu Weiyong apart from me If so, it must be Jiang Wan, as long as you have Jiang Wan by your side, Hu Weiyong will not dare to act presumptuously!" Deng Sheng said.

When Jiang Wan was minister, he was Hu Weiyong's immediate boss, and Hu Weiyong had always been the backbone of the Jiang family, and he was valued by Jiang Wan. It is not an exaggeration to say that Hu Weiyong was Jiang Wan's student, but after Jiang Wan retired to the second line, The power of the Jiang family has basically fallen into the hands of Hu Weiyong, but as long as Jiang Wan stands up, Hu Weiyong will always be just a younger brother. Perhaps in terms of ability, Jiang Wan may not be stronger than Hu Weiyong, but in terms of qualifications and prestige, Jiang Wan can crush Hu Weiyong, just like Although Yue Fei resigned from the position of General in the General's Dudu's Mansion, if Yue Fei really wanted to do something, he would be more effective than Xue Rengui in the General's Dudu's Mansion.

"Thank you, father!" Deng Hao said gratefully. He knew that this was a trump card Deng Sheng gave him. As the emperor, Deng Sheng couldn't directly face many things, so he could only continue to increase the chips in Deng Hao's hands, so that Deng Sheng Hao can better control the court.

"You and my father and son don't need to thank you, but don't be too serious. As long as Hu Weiyong doesn't go too far, you can just turn a blind eye and close one eye. You can ask Jiang Wan how to do it. I told you!" Deng Sheng said.

"Here! Father, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The imperial examination is coming soon, and I still have many things to discuss with Wang Shangshu!" Deng Hao said.

"Go, use dim sum!" Deng Sheng nodded and said.

After Deng Hao left, a sad look appeared on Deng Sheng's face. He felt that he should do something. Deng Hao has been the prince for more than ten years. To be honest, he has been very good, but there is one thing that makes Deng Sheng Not very satisfied, that is, Deng Hao relied too much on the court ministers, and he didn't have his own team around him.

In recent years, Deng Sheng has also selected many young talents to serve as officials in the East Palace, but these people's abilities are only temporary talents. If they want to compare with people like Hu Weiyong, they are still far behind. People, how will Deng Hao control the court in the future?
You must know that when Deng Sheng ascended the throne at the beginning of the year, he had the help of Jiang Wan, Cheng Yu, Chang Yuchun, Yang Yanzhao, etc., and gradually took back the military and political power from the hands of the five ministers. If Deng Hao had no trusted confidants, How can I fight against those old foxes in the court in the future?

Thinking of this, Deng Sheng closed his eyes, and said silently in his mind: "System, come out, I want to call!"
