Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 649 The Future of Deng Zun and Deng Fu

6 Fifty Chapters: The Future of Deng Zun and Deng Fu
The message of moving the capital was aroused in the entire Wancheng, which attracted the attention of various forces. Among them, the Deng clan was most concerned. After all, the Deng clan had taken root in Wancheng and Nanyang for nearly 300 years. Once the capital was moved, it would mean that A large number of clans have to leave Wancheng for the new capital, and many years of business operations will be destroyed in an instant.

Deng Sheng also paid close attention to the reactions of all parties. He secretly ordered Der Spiegel to monitor all parties. No, just after a meeting of the clans in Changsha County Palace, Yao Guangxiao, the leader of Der Spiegel, immediately entered the palace to meet Deng. rose.

"Your Majesty, after the message of moving the capital was spread in Wancheng recently, there has been a surge of forces from all sides, but there has been no major action for the time being. In addition, all the clans gathered in the Changsha County Prince's Mansion today." In Qianyang Palace, Yao Guangxiao cupped his hands and said. .

"Why can't you hold back so quickly? Who are there?" Deng Sheng sighed and said, he didn't expect the clan to make the first move.

Yao Guangxiao said: "There are Deng Jing, Prince of Shangyong, Deng Tong, Prince of Wuling, Deng Yuan, Marquis of Changxin, Deng Pi, Marquis of Qingning, Deng Zhu, Marquis of Changxing, and others."

"Do you know what they are talking about?" Deng Sheng asked, although the place where these clans talk is in the palace of Changsha County, ordinary people cannot enter, but Mingjing monitors the world, as long as Mingjing wants to know, the whole country of Deng knows of.

Yao Guangxiao said: "The core of the conversation among the clans is that there have been rumors about moving the capital recently, and Shangyong County King once asked Changsha County King to persuade His Majesty to dispel the idea of ​​moving the capital, but was rejected by Changsha County King on the grounds that it was not yet confirmed. gone."

"Hehe, my fourth brother has also learned to be smart!" Deng Sheng laughed when he heard the words, he himself, the fourth brother, is the most aware of his impulsive personality when he was young, but he did not expect to learn to be smart when he was old.

"In addition, the clansmen also talked about one thing, that is, the clan's talents have withered in recent years, so Changsha County King proposed to promote Nanhai Governor Deng Song and Kuaiji Governor Deng Bei. After everyone's conversation was over, Wuling County King went to the East Palace. "Yao Guangxiao said another thing.

After Deng Sheng heard the words, there was a moment of silence. Both Deng Song and Deng Bei, Deng Sheng, remembered that they were the prefects hand-picked by him back then. He also praised them for their responsibility. After all, as the clan, they abandoned their wealth and went to the South China Sea County and Kuaiji County are two barren lands, courage is commendable. It has been more than ten years since I have been there, and it is really not easy. It is time to be promoted. People have advantages, and Deng Sheng himself often lamented the lack of talent in the clan.

"Well, I got it, you go down first, remember, it's a troubled time now, Mingjing must take a good look at Wancheng, if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not being sympathetic." Deng Sheng said.

"Here!" Yao Guangxiao responded.

On the other hand, Deng Tong, the king of Wuling County, also came to Shangli Palace. Hearing Deng Tong's arrival, Deng Hao hurried out to greet him. What is it for?

"I pay homage to Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Deng Tong saluted Deng Hao.

Deng Hao hurriedly supported Deng Tong, and said, "You don't have to be polite, Uncle Huang!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Deng Tong got up and thanked.

"What's the important thing for the emperor to come here today?" Deng Hao asked. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace. These emperor uncles have never taken the initiative to come to Shangli Palace. Deng Hao does not believe that Deng Tong is today. Come see for yourself.

Deng Tong said: "There is one thing I want to tell His Highness."

"I don't know what's going on? Uncle Huang said it's okay, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Deng Hao said.

Deng Tong said: "Your Highness, in recent years, there are very few available talents in my clan. Nanhai Taishou Deng Song and Kuaiji Taishou Deng Bei are rare talents in my clan. When Yuedi was first established, neither the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were willing to go there. In the barren land, the two of them stepped forward to share the country's worries, which shows their heart, and now the two of them have been in the two counties for more than ten years, and I came today to ask for His Highness's favor."

When Deng Hao heard this, his thoughts quickly returned to 14 years ago. He was the one who recommended Deng Song and Deng Bei to Deng Sheng. Unexpectedly, it would be 14 years in a blink of an eye.

But Deng Hao was also a little embarrassed at this time, and said: "Uncle Huang, the two elder brothers have worked hard for more than ten years for the country's herdsmen. Promotion is a matter of course, but this palace can't be in charge of this matter. The promotion of officials has nothing to do with it. For promotion, the imperial court has its own rules and regulations, not to mention matters related to the clan, which need to be approved by the emperor."

"Your Highness, now that the great Deng Ding Ding Ding Ding is coming, it is time for our clan members to serve the country. Your Highness must know that this world belongs to the Deng family, and no one cares more about it than the Deng family." Deng Tong said.

Deng Hao thought for a while, and said: "Uncle Huang, to be honest, I really can't decide this matter, but I will talk to my father. As for whether it can be done, it depends on my father's will."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Deng Tong said happily. Although Deng Hao's words were not accurate, but as the prince of a country, and Deng Sheng has been working hard to improve Deng Hao's reputation in recent years, so generally Deng Hao's suggestions, As long as it is not too much, Deng Sheng will agree.

"Okay, Uncle Huang, you go back first, and I will go see Father Huang now." Deng Hao said.

"Then I will trouble Your Highness, and I will retire now!" Now that Deng Hao has agreed, Deng Tong is naturally unwilling to stay longer. It can be said that Gongdu risked his life.

After Deng Tong left, Deng Hao immediately came to Qianyang Palace to look for Deng Sheng.

"I pay homage to my father!" Deng Hao saluted.

"Get up!" Deng Sheng nodded, and said, "Your sixth uncle is looking for you?"

Deng Hao was a little strange. He knew that Deng Tong would not be able to hide it from Deng Sheng when he came to find him, but it was too fast. Deng Tong had not stayed in Shangli Palace for half an hour, and he was the first to start looking for him. Deng Sheng, less than an hour before and after, Deng Sheng found out so quickly.

"Father sees thousands of miles away!" Deng Hao complimented.

"Hehe!" Deng Sheng smiled, and said, "Is it strange how I found out so quickly? In fact, there is no need to be surprised. Under the whole world, could it be the king's land; on the shore of the land, could it be the king's minister? In this Great Deng , as long as I want to know, there is nothing I don’t know, don’t be surprised, tell me, what is your sixth uncle begging you to do?”

Deng Hao said: "Father, do you still remember Deng Song and Deng Bei?"

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "I remember that after Yuedi was pacified, it was you who personally recommended the two of them to me to go south to Nanhai County and Kuaiji County as prefects."

"The emperor's uncle came to look for the son this time, hoping that the son could give advice to the emperor and promote the two of them. The son thought to himself that the two of them have been the prefects of the two counties for more than ten years. They work hard and have outstanding achievements. It's time to be promoted." Deng Hao said.

Deng Sheng frowned and said: "It's not a big deal to promote the two of them, but with the abilities of the two of them, it is a little insufficient to serve in the central government, and they are both prefects. The promotion is either flat or a governor, but There are no vacancies right now."

Deng Hao thought for a while and said, "Father, Guanzhong is about to be taken, and there are eight counties in Xiliang. There are many officials needed, and they can be transferred to Guanzhong. In addition, Cai Jie, the governor of Jingbei Province, has written many times to request To become an official, I think that the two of them are good enough to serve as the governor of Jingbei Province."

Cai Jie, the governor of Jingbei Road, was the son of the late Cai Guogong Cai Feng and the elder brother of the empress Cai Yan. After Cai Feng became an official, Deng Sheng appointed him as the prefect of Nanjun. Sheng then appointed him as the governor of Jingbei Road, but Cai Jie's ability was not too strong, and he couldn't get a chance at all in the star-studded court of Deng Guo, so this prefect had been in office for more than ten years, and he was almost at the end of his career. old.

Deng Sheng thought about it carefully, and then said: "Forget it, it's time for Deng Song and Deng Bei to be promoted, and they are still members of the clan, so you don't need to worry about this matter, whether it is a promotion or a promotion, I have my own opinion. "

"Here!" Deng Hao replied, since Deng Sheng said so, then Deng Song and Deng Bei will definitely have a good result.

"There is one more thing, I want to discuss with you." Deng Sheng said.

"What's the matter? Please tell my father!" Deng Hao asked.

"Even the fourth and fifth children are not young anymore. You, the second child and the third child have already emerged at their age, and it is time for them to make a move." Deng Sheng said.

The fourth Deng Zun and the fifth Deng Fu were both born in the 11th year of Qianyuan, and they are both 22 years old this year. At this age, Deng Hao had already been in politics for several years, while the second Deng Han and the third Deng Yu also He has been in the army for many years, and has participated in the Pingyue and Annihilation Wars successively. Deng Zun and Deng Fu are already very late at this age.

Hearing this, Deng Hao frowned. The fifth brother, Deng Fu, was worried at all. The fifth brother was obsessed with martial arts, and his martial arts were among the best in the entire Great Deng. But when it came to governance, Deng Fu was not even as good as a county magistrate. Deng Zun, this younger brother has always been the focus of Deng Hao's attention. When he was young, he didn't think much of it, but as he got older, Deng Hao gradually discovered that this younger brother was better than himself in both literary and martial arts, so Deng Zun Hao couldn't help being wary of him, of course, it was just wary, not a life-and-death enemy. First, Deng Zun never expressed that he wanted to compete with him. Second, he had been the crown prince for more than ten years. With a certain prestige in the middle school, although the position of the crown prince is not as stable as Mount Tai, it is not something the current Deng Zun can shake.

"I don't know if the father plans to let the two younger brothers join the army or enter politics?" Deng Hao asked.

"You are also very clear about the abilities and personalities of your two younger brothers. Let's talk about the fifth brother first. The fifth brother is a warrior. If you let him spend all day in government documents, you might as well kill him. I plan to let him Go to serve in the army, stay for a few years, and give him an elite guard to guard one side." Deng Sheng thought for a while and said.

The soul that Deng Sheng implanted into Deng Fu was Siwei, a fierce general of the Yue Family Army in the Southern Song Dynasty, Gao Chong, a proper general template, and he was still a fierce general, so it can be said that Deng Sheng planned to let him go to war at the beginning.

Deng Hao thought about it, and felt that there was no problem. Since Deng Han and Deng Yu led the army, Deng Guo had set a precedent for a prince to lead the army, and it was not a big deal for Deng Fu to lead the army alone.

"As for Zun'er, I'm in a bit of a dilemma!" When Deng Zun came here, Deng Sheng began to feel a little embarrassed. When Deng Zun was born, due to a sudden error in the system, Deng Zun directly implanted the potential of Tang Taizong Li Shimin. At one time, Deng Sheng had the idea of ​​making Deng Zun the prince, and in order to realize this idea, Deng Sheng suppressed not to make the prince for many years until after the eldest grandson Deng Huan was born.Deng Sheng made up his mind to make Deng Hao the crown prince. First, it was because the country was not upright at that time, and the courtiers repeatedly proposed to establish a crown prince. Deng Sheng had no reason to wait until Deng Zun grew up before making the crown prince. It is well-known, and Deng Sheng seems to find no reason to refuse when the eldest son is so outstanding.

Since Deng Hao was made the crown prince, Deng Sheng began to focus on cultivating Deng Hao, and when choosing a wife for Deng Zun, he rejected Cui Hao's daughter and chose Huang Deng's daughter, in order not to let Deng Zun threaten him. The strength of Deng Hao's status.

"You also know that Zun'er is proficient in everything, and he is also the best among all the scholars. Whether he is leading an army alone or in charge of the government, he is more than enough. That's why I am in trouble!" Deng Sheng Said.

"Then did the father mean to ask the fourth brother?" Deng Hao asked.

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "I have asked, Zun'er said that I will be the master, I have thought about it, and decided to let him enter politics. Han'er, Yu'er, and Fu'er all joined the army. You lack a helper by your side. Therefore, I plan to let Zun'er enter politics."

"Then I don't know how the father plans to arrange for the fourth brother?" Deng Zun entered politics, but Deng Hao was not so worried, because Deng Hao had been the prince for so many years, and his prestige in the court was not comparable to that of Deng Zun. Deng Zun has no chance if he makes a big mistake.

Deng Sheng thought for a while, and said: "Now that Guanzhong is about to be settled, it is urgent to appease, and moving the capital to Luoyang is imperative, and the stability of Guanzhong is even more important, so I plan to appoint Zun'er as the envoy of Guanzhong Xuanfu to take charge of Guanzhong. "

"Father, I don't know if the Xuanfu envoy of the fourth brother can hold the military power?" Deng Hao asked quickly, if Deng Zun was only in charge of the government affairs, it would be fine if he only commanded the government affairs. I am afraid that Deng Sheng will give Deng Zun the military power in Guanzhong, then It's different, once Deng Zun has mastered the military and political power in Guanzhong, Guanzhong will become a country within a country. This power is nothing when Deng Sheng is there, but once Deng Sheng is not there, after Deng Hao ascends the throne, Deng Zun has a lot of confidence. Unreconciled, it is not a joke to start a rebellion with soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.

Who is Deng Sheng?After ruling a country for many years, how could he fail to see Deng Hao's thoughts?He was worried that Deng Zun would hold the military and political power in Guanzhong, and he would rise up to fight against him in the future.

So he sighed and said: "You don't have to worry, since I have chosen you, I won't be easily shaken. Zun'er is in charge of Guanzhong, just in charge of government affairs. As for the army, I arrange it freely. You don't have to worry about Zun'er's future. Bad for you."

"Father and emperor misunderstood, this son-in-law didn't mean that." Seeing that his thoughts were seen through by Deng Sheng, Deng Hao said hastily.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a fact or a misunderstanding, since I chose you as the crown prince, as long as you hold your breath, no one will be able to shake your position. You should go back first!" Deng Sheng said.

"Here! Your servant will leave!" Deng Hao responded and left.

Looking at Deng Hao's leaving back, Deng Sheng murmured: "Hao'er, is this the kind of person I am in your heart? Also, is Zun'er really that much of a threat to you?"

As Deng Zun grew up, Deng Hao became less and less confident. He just didn't want Deng Hao to think too much. City, do nothing.

After Deng Hao left, Deng Sheng said to Gui Xiang: "Gui Xiang, draw up the decree. Xun Yu, the governor of Lingnan Road, has served in Lingnan Road for many years. His political achievements are outstanding. He was transferred back to Wancheng and joined the Ministry of Officials. Deng Bei was promoted to the governor of Lingnan Province, and Cai Jie, the governor of Jingbei Province, has been in charge of Jingbei Province for many years. He has worked hard and benefited one side. , the posts of the prefects of Nanhai County and Kuaiji County are selected by the Ministry of Officials."

Although Deng Bei and Deng Song's abilities are limited, they are clans after all. After leaving Nanhai County and Kuaiji County, they must be promoted. The people who carry the tripod include Deng Ai, Deng Qiang, Deng Zhong, and Deng Ping in the military, and they also need talents in the political arena.

Gui Xiang recorded everything Deng Sheng said, and later sent it to the Ministry of Education to draft an order, then sent it to Menxia Province for review, and finally sent it to the Ministry of Ministers for execution.

"Re-drafting the decree, the lands of Guanzhong and Xiliang have been ruled by the Han and Qin Dynasties for a long time, and when they first entered Deng, they feared that they had doubts. The king of Qi, Deng Zun, was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Guanzhong. , Jingzhao County, Fengyi County, Henan County, Hongnong County, and Hedong County, all the government affairs of the six counties, the six counties of Guanzhong, and the eight counties of Xiliang were the prefects. .” Deng Sheng said.

After Gui Xiang finished recording, he asked, "Your Majesty, is there any more?"

Deng Sheng thought about it and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he shook his head and said, "That's all, you can send it to the Ministry of Education."

"Here!" Gui Xiang replied.

The imperial decree immediately caused a commotion in the court. Chu Wang Deng Fu joined the army, and it was nothing to serve under Xue Rengui. After all, Jin Wang Deng Han and Wei Wang Deng Yu also came here in the same way, but Qi Wang Deng Zun ruled in Guanzhong It's different, now Guanzhong has not been completely pacified, but the six counties in Guanzhong must set up a Taoist government, but now the King of Qi Deng Zun is directly in charge of Guanzhong. Qi Wang Deng Zun's?
So some thoughtful people wondered whether Deng Sheng was dissatisfied with the prince Deng Hao and planned to support Deng Zun, so after the imperial decree came out, everyone's eyes turned to the East Palace, but they found that the East Palace did not make any moves, so Many people stopped paying attention, but some people paid attention to it.
