Shuangfeike from all over the world
Chapter 81 Treacherous
Knowing that Wei Nan said this, Xie Ce wanted to do something practical for the people and the country, but because he was in an embarrassing situation now, in order to avoid Xie Ce's embarrassment, he gave him an ambiguous answer.
This person is like this, he has always wronged himself for the sake of the overall situation and Xie Ce.Xie Ce would not be ignorant of going against Wei Nan's wishes, but he would not let Wei Nan continue to wrong him like this.
Xie Ce thought for a while, and said to Wei Nan: "Brother asked me if I wanted to be emperor, I didn't want to, not at all. But I haven't thought of a good way yet, so that Daqi can continue to function without the emperor. Right now, the Dongyi people have not retreated, the people have not been resettled after the war, the world is still devastated, and the defenders in the four regions have to re-plan and resettle. If no one comes out to lead these things, I am afraid that the world will continue to be chaotic."
Xie Ce still has one more thing that he didn't say: If I don't have the power in my hands, how can I protect you in this chaotic situation?How can you fulfill your desire to continue to serve the people of the country?
In order to avoid Wei Nan's embarrassment, Xie Ce didn't want him to come forward to deal with the Zhou family.At this moment, how could she tell him that the biggest reason for becoming an emperor is to protect him and fulfill his ambition?
"So... you still want to be the emperor, don't you?" Wei Nan's expectant heart suddenly sank.
He knew that Xie Ce had never been interested in power, and that he was pushed on this path by his masters and himself, so he was surprised that Xie Ce agreed to inherit the throne.
Wei Nan never expected that this idiot agreed to be the emperor just to protect himself and fulfill himself.
"Well, these two old guys promised not to force me to get married. And don't worry, brother, I will think of a way to get the best of both worlds, which will allow me to have more freedom and spend more time with you, and at the same time allow the country's affairs to be properly handled Deal with it." Xie Ce didn't see the disappointment in Wei Nan's eyes at this moment.
Wei Nan looked at Xie Ce and thought to himself: I'm afraid you think too simply, as long as you are pushed to that position, many things will be beyond your control.But how could Wei Nan say such things to Xie Ce?
"What are you thinking, so preoccupied?" Seeing that Wei Nan was silent for a long time, Xie Ce raised his head and glanced at him, but he didn't notice Wei Nan's abnormal mood.
"After thinking that you became the emperor, I should call you His Majesty the Emperor." Wei Nan forced a smile seeing Xie Ce's serious look.
"You can call it whatever you want, who can control you?" Xie Ce put all the utensils back into the medicine box, walked over to hold Wei Nande's hand and went outside to eat.
"Brother, I want to issue a decree to announce to the world that you are respected as a brother, so that you will not be in an embarrassing situation. What do you think?" Xie Ce asked while picking up vegetables for Wei Nan.
"It's up to you..." Wei Nan was so absorbed in Xie Ce's becoming emperor that he didn't pay much attention to what Xie Ce said.
Wei Nan was thinking about where Xie Ce would go after he became emperor.He seldom thought about this matter before, and his mind was all about Xie Ce's return to Beijing, but after he was poisoned, he became dizzy and unable to think.
He once thought that after Xie Ce returned to the country, after tidying up the country, he and Xie Ce would stay away from the court and live freely in the rivers and lakes.But at this point, Wei Nan realized how naive he was back then.Xie Ce must be the emperor, as the emperor, how could he let go of everything and leave with him.
Now Nie Rulan is jealous of him, and keeps weakening him behind his back; Li Jingze can't tolerate the relationship between himself and Xie Ce... Xie Ce is so stupid that he can't understand how difficult his situation is...
Wei Nan thought about it and didn't know how to deal with himself: It's still a long time, think about it slowly, before the people in his hands are cleaned up by Nie Rulan, first help him straighten out the affairs of the capital, and then... ...Let's take a step and see one step at a time!
"Then today, brother, do you want to go to court with me?" Xie Ce knew that Wei Nan was worried about the court, so he asked intimately, "You don't have to worry about anything, I just want you to be there, help me calm down those Zhou gangs Courtiers of the same party."
Wei Nan's courtiers naturally obeyed Xie Ce's decree 100%, but Zhou Tang's courtiers were hard to say.When Wei Nan was in the court, he used and suppressed this group of people and caused them all kinds of troubles, so these people were very afraid of this vicious King Ming.If Wei Nan stood facing up, those people would not dare to be presumptuous towards Xie Ce.
But now Wei Nan is in an embarrassing situation. Although he is still a prince, he is the prince of the previous dynasty. He appears in the court at this time. What is the relationship between him and Xie Ce?Where is he standing with what identity?
Wei Nan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said: "I won't go today, I'm going out of the palace today to help you deal with some things. By the way, Lian Ruoqian is a great responsibility. He has the ability to do things and has a responsibility. Focus on training, Like his father, he will become the pillar of Daqi. In the three provinces and six ministries, many officials are not high-ranking, but they are really capable, but because of the corruption in the previous dynasty, they have no chance for promotion. Like Chen Ganze, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Jinyuan, the member of the Ministry, and Liang Lin, the head of the household department, are all hard-working people, we can give them more opportunities to practice, and they will be able to take on important responsibilities in the future."
"Also, as the crown prince of Daqi, it is right for you to temporarily stop the courtiers and aristocratic families of Zhoutang's party in order to ensure the stability of the capital and the court after the restoration of the country, but these people are definitely your future. Obstacles. In order to implement the policy smoothly in the future and push truly capable people to the top, the people in the court need a big change. Let me help you with this matter." Wei Nan said.
Wei Nan was clear about court affairs, but Xie Ce couldn't figure it out, and he wasn't familiar with the people. What he was good at was on the battlefield.With a "tsk", he shook his head and said, "When you were a bandit, you would be beaten up by your adoptive father if you did something wrong; if the emperor did something wrong, it would be a disaster for the whole Qi. It's okay for me to kill the enemy. This matter in the court has to be mentioned by the elder brother, you can't leave me alone!"
Wei Nan smiled lightly, and said, "I'm just looking after you? Don't worry, I'm your aide, and I will do my best for you, okay?"
"It's more or less the same!" Xie Ce hugged Wei Nan shamelessly and gnawed and touched him. After a long while, he reluctantly let him go, and went up to the court under the service of Fatty Wang.
In the court today, Xie Ce promulgated his second decree as His Royal Highness the Prince of Daqi in front of all civil and military officials. An/bang, martial arts can set the country, and the country has meritorious service. The name lives in the world and the merit will last forever.Gu Jin complies with the will of heaven, respects King Ming as his brother, and enjoys the honor of all eternity with Gu!
Prince Daqi's two consecutive decrees were related to Wei Nan, and for a while the mysterious King Ming was even more in the limelight, and Xie Ce's series of actions had pushed him to the top of public opinion.
Li Jingze and Nie Rulan wished that Wei Nan's reputation would get worse, and they did not object to Xie Ce doing such a stupid thing.
Wei Nan himself didn't know that he had stole the limelight today, so he changed into casual clothes, got on a carriage and went back to Ming Palace.Xuanyi Baiju's two remaining killers have been waiting for him in the Ming Palace for a long time.
"Your Highness, during the time you were in the palace, I was unable to contact you. Many of our hidden guards were abolished by Master Nie. We did not dare to do anything without your order. I ordered all the hidden guards to lie dormant. .” The killer knelt and reported to Wei Nan.
Wei Nan smiled wryly, and said: "This king knows that such a day will come sooner or later. Forget it, let him go... they can do whatever they want, and I'm tired too."
"Your Highness, you have made great contributions to Da Qi. Now that Prince Da Qi has not succeeded to the throne, they can't wait to cross the river and demolish the bridge. This old slave is not worth it for you!" The old housekeeper was always calm, but now he was so angry with Wei Nan that they treated him like this trembling.
"Forget it, Uncle Zhang... I'm also disappointed, it's better to retire." Wei Nan sighed.
"Notify the remaining hidden guards, mobilize all those who can move, and closely monitor the courtiers of Zhou Tang's party, as well as the powerful princes of the Zhou family, including their family members and servants. Immediately investigate and report to me with conclusive evidence."
After Wei Nan finished speaking, he handed a note to the killer, saying: "These people on the list must be removed, but His Royal Highness has issued a decree to amnesty the world, so we can only find ways to get rid of them slowly. You are now At least, pick a few of the hidden guards who are capable enough to assist you to do it, be quick with your hands and feet, and don't leave any excuses."
"Yes!" The killer took the note from Wei Nan, read it over and memorized all the names, turned around and burned the note, bowed and left.
"Your Highness, they treat you like this, why do you need to help them like this!" The old housekeeper couldn't help it anymore, and said to Wei Nan with a sob.
"This old slave was ordered by the late emperor to take care of you. Seeing you being so wronged now...you are making this old slave feel...how can you live!" The old butler finally couldn't help crying.
"I'm helping Xie Ce, not helping them..." Wei Nan glanced at the old housekeeper who was standing beside him wiping his tears with his head down, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I have to trouble you with something."
"Your Highness, just give orders." The old housekeeper put away his tears and said in a low voice.
"Divide out the people in your hands and send them to the Northeast Camp in Lingshan to closely monitor Zhou Jin's two sons," Wei Nan said.
This old butler was Zhou Xian's domestic slave when he was the Duke Protector, and had a close relationship with Zhou Xian, and Zhou Xian assigned Wei Nan to look after him.Before Zhou Xian became terminally ill, he secretly ordered him to obey King Ming's orders in everything and protect him comprehensively.
According to Wei Nan's instructions, the old housekeeper specially recruited a group of children with foreign surnames who were closely related to the powerful Zhou family members, and selected some of them as confidantes to train.
"Is Your Highness worried that Zhou Jin's two sons will rebel?" asked the old housekeeper.
"Zhou Jin's bones are not cold yet. His sons should have noticed something strange about his death. I am worried that they will do something irrational in a fit of anger."
Zhou Jin guarded the Northwest Camp all his life, and he has made outstanding achievements. If his two sons find out that their father was murdered by his own people in the end, there is no guarantee that they will not take some crazy revenge. It will be troublesome for the Dongyi people to unite.
"Since Your Highness is worried, why don't you recall them back to the capital and give them an idle errand. It's better to be under your nose than to be out of control in Lingshan." The old housekeeper suggested with a bow.
"Zhou Jin and his sons have made great achievements in the war. Doing so will chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers. You just need to send someone to watch them secretly. As long as they don't make any changes, you don't need to worry about them." Wei Nan handed over a delicate Give the wooden box to Uncle Zhang, "This is for Hong'er mother and son. Be careful that the guards in their mother and son's residence must be clean, and don't mix with other people who don't know the details."
Uncle Zhang took the wooden box, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that they would not treat their mother and child badly. Although it is under house arrest, there are a lot of servants serving them, and there will be no shortage of food and clothing for them... ...why do you... alas!"
"Their mother and son have never done anything wrong... I have always used tricks to make them lose their husbands and fathers... A little bit of thought, I should relieve some of the guilt in my heart." Wei Nan said, "Go, next month Remember to find a teacher for Honger, he has reached the age of enlightenment, he should study hard and practice calligraphy."
Wei Nan was busy at the Ming Palace until it was time to light the lamps at night, the person Xie Ce sent to pick him up urged him several times before he got into the carriage and returned to the palace.
At night, Wei Nan tossed and turned in bed unable to fall asleep, and Xie Ce was also unable to fall asleep because of his turning over.
"Why don't you sleep? Are you worried, or is something uncomfortable?" Xie Ce rubbed his eyes, stood up and turned on the lamp, looking at Wei Nan with a troubled look on his face.
"Xie Ce, you have Li Jingze and Nie Rulan to guard the affairs of the court, and I also secretly sent people to clean up those diehards. I am not very worried. I am worried about the war on Lingshan... and Zhou Jin and the two A son." Turning on the lamp, Wei Nan sat up and rubbed his swollen temples.
Although Zhou Xian usurped the throne and harmed the country, Zhou Jin was loyal.In order to keep the country, Zhou Jin's eldest son and second son died in battle ten years ago; Zhou Jin was assassinated by Fan Xiaojiu, leaving only his third son, Zhou Yi, and fourth son, Zhou Qi.
Although these two are young and vigorous young generals, they have fought in the battlefield for more than ten years.With Zhou Jin being wronged so much, and the Zhou family suffering so much, can they bear their dissent?
When Zhou Jin died, although the Northeast camp was dispersed by the Dongyi people, Xie Ce went there quickly and kept most of their strength.
The Zhou family has run the Northeast camp for generations, and this Northeast camp is almost the Zhou family army.If Zhou Yi and Zhou Qi turned against each other, the entire Northeast camp would be a thunderbolt buried beside Cao Jingqiu.
If this thunderbolt explodes, can Cao Jingqiu, who has been struggling to support himself, still be able to withstand the blow of internal and external troubles?
"Brother, did you hear anything when you left the palace today?"
Wei Nan's right hand is a prosthetic limb, which was always inconvenient. Xie Ce quickly pulled his hands down and gently pressed Wei Nan's temple.
"After listening to some, Zhou Yi and Zhou Qi have been very depressed, and they declared to Cao Jingqiu that they would guard their father's spirit for three months. Now that the time for March is approaching, Cao Jingqiu sent people to condolences, but the two of them refused to come, saying that they were sad. Wei Nan frowned slightly, even with his eyes slightly closed, Xie Ce could feel his anxiety.
"How about I issue a decree to posthumously confer the titles on Zhou Jin and his two sons who died in battle, and promote his third and fourth sons, so as to save Zhou Jin's face, is that okay?" Xie Ce asked softly.
"However, isn't this wronging you? The Zhou family is sorry for you, and you have to appease them in the end." Wei Nan pulled Xie Ce's hands down with some distress, and embraced him in his arms.
"I've been wronged no matter where. Zhou Jin is a loyal family and a pillar of the country. He should have been more beautiful behind him. It's also good for the frontline soldiers to see that I, Jiang Ce, am not a narrow-minded grudge. The Zhou family is a usurper To destroy my family, not only did I not kill them after I returned to the country, but I also clearly rewarded and punished them. If the two sons of Zhou Jin dare to resent in their hearts, then they are ungrateful and against the sky, and the world will spurn them." Xie Ce said with a smile .
"Pursuing the imperial decree amount plaque is not only an honor, but also a shackle. The two sons of Zhou Jin will definitely accept it for their father. After accepting my award, they will not be able to rebel, otherwise it will be like beating their old father." Face."
Wei Nan looked at the man in his arms in surprise. Although the 28-year-old Xie Ce's face was still as handsome and cold as when he first met Xie Jiazhai, he was more calm and confident. Feel the strange regal air.The matter that made Wei Nan worry for a long time was turned invisible by Xie Ce's Huairou policy.
"You've really grown up...surprised me..." Wei Nan hugged the person in his arms tightly and murmured.Xie Ce has grown up, to the point where he far surpasses his masters, and to the point where he can easily grasp the key points in a relationship that is becoming more and more charming.
"My brother used to walk too fast. In order to keep up with my brother's pace, I had to chase after you desperately, and now I finally caught up with my brother's footsteps... I just want to protect you, but you are flying too high , I can only be qualified to protect you if I fly higher..." Xie Ce lay in Wei Nan's arms with his arms around his waist, yearning for this place that made him extremely happy.
This person is like this, he has always wronged himself for the sake of the overall situation and Xie Ce.Xie Ce would not be ignorant of going against Wei Nan's wishes, but he would not let Wei Nan continue to wrong him like this.
Xie Ce thought for a while, and said to Wei Nan: "Brother asked me if I wanted to be emperor, I didn't want to, not at all.
