In the first personal conquest, the two vassal kings were directly cleaned up, and the two vassal lands were regained, and a large amount of supplies were also obtained from King Ding and King Jing.

Such an emperor, even though he is still young, even though many people feel strange about pretending not to fight before, but after thinking about it carefully, only such a young emperor with perseverance and wisdom can have the power of war at a young age. Now such an achievement.

Therefore, the courtiers were even more convinced by the young emperor.

At the end of September in the third year of Yonghe, when the young emperor returned to Chang'an, countless courtiers began to flatter and praise the young emperor, thinking that if they could spend more time following such an outstanding emperor in this life, Be more diligent, perhaps, you can also leave a name in the biography of famous ministers.

Xie Rongying was naturally happy in her heart.

He already knew what he was capable of.All his life, he didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted to work well under his elder brother, and then make himself a prince.

——Didn’t two vassal princes just disappear now?Now that it's gone, is it necessary to make up for it?Perhaps, brother will let him do it.

As for brother, he didn't tell him the plan at all before, but only told about Xie Yuan and Yin Shou. Now Xie Yuan and Yin Shou, who are obviously farther away, are also allowed to deal with the follow-up matters of the two domains. Xie Rongying felt slightly A little sour, but in the end I held back.

The two of them have their own fiefdoms, and it is impossible for them to live in the fiefdoms of King Yuanxian and King Beichuan for a lifetime in the future. At most, they will take some things on these two fiefdoms as their own. over there.

Xie Rongying made some calculations in her mind, and felt that King Yuan Xian's vassal land was vast and rich in resources, and it was indeed good and good.If possible, he is still willing to take Yuan Xianwang's domain as his own.

Moreover, these days, brother is not here, and Xie Rongying handles all affairs in the court instead of brother. Although he was often taught tactfully by Xie Ping at the beginning, but later, when Xie Xiang looked at him, although he still frowned, Meng Xiang almost But this one often smiled at him—obviously, Meng Xiang and the others felt that he was doing a good job as a temporary replacement for brother.

Xie Rongying also gained a lot of confidence because of this, and felt that he should put more effort into it.

It's just that during these days, Xie Rongying also had a few counselors by his side. Apart from the counselors, there were also people in the court who were willing to follow him and advise him. When he raised some ideas in the court, they were willing to stand up and support him first.

Among these people, someone reminded him now: "King Rong, the feudal land is rare. Now that the former Beichuan feudal land and the original Xianwang feudal land have just returned to the court, the saint must be worrying about how to separate these two feudal lands." The people's thoughts turned around, and the soldiers of the two vassals gradually became willing to regard themselves as soldiers of the court, not the soldiers of the vassal king. In addition, there were still many trivial matters to be dealt with in the vassal. King Yin and King Zhao They each own feudal lands. Under such circumstances, it would be inappropriate for the two of them to intervene in this matter. It would be better to wait for the sage to come back, and His Highness to ask the sage for an order, saying that he is willing to go to these two feudal lands and take over Yin Wang and King Zhao, handle the affairs of the two vassals. In this way, the sage has seen His Highness's ability, so if he is willing to become a vassal king in the future, he will consider your Highness for the first time."

Such a temptation was indeed great enough.

Therefore, Xie Rongying thought about it for a few days and felt that this matter was feasible.

When Xie Hanying came back, after some rewards, Xie Rongying was about to mention this matter, when he heard Xie Hanying knocking on the table again, he muttered: "Also, there is another matter. This time, the matter of King Yuanxian and King Beichuan is excluded. , King Yin and King Zhao made the most contributions. Therefore, I decided to increase the number of soldiers supported by the two kings to 20."

The faces of all the people turned pale.

Meng Xiang immediately stood up and said: "Sage, this is not allowed. Then why did King Yuan Xian have such a rebellious mind and ability? It is only because he has enough soldiers that he has the courage to do something. This kind of outrageous thing. If the sage makes King Yin and King Zhao have enough soldiers, then, whether one day, King Zhao and King Yin will be instigated by the people around them or dissatisfied with the sage's occasional will. Thinking about it, I feel that the number of soldiers in my hand is enough, so I have thoughts that I shouldn’t have? I have always known that the sage loves King Zhao. Since the sage loves King Zhao, he shouldn’t give King Zhao the opportunity to have such thoughts.”

Prime Minister Yan and Zhang also stood up and seconded the proposal.

Xie Rongying bowed his head and pondered for a while, he wanted to stand up, but he knew his brother's feelings for Xie Yuan, and knew that his brother had always hoped that he and Xie Yuan could stand on the side, so...Xie Rongying finally learned to be patient and pretend, and He didn't stand up, just bowed his head in silence.

Among the four prime ministers, three prime ministers raised objections, and many of the other courtiers also said that this matter was inappropriate.

Xie Hanying listened silently for a while, and then said: "What I mean is to order Yin Wang and Zhao Wang to send the 13 soldiers they have trained to the court. In this way, there will only be 5 soldiers left by the two kings." soldiers. The other [-] people were chosen from among the [-] sent by King Yuan Xian, King Beichuan, and King Ding and King Jing.”

The ministers were taken aback for a moment, and then understood.

Those soldiers who originally belonged to the vassal kings were actually not very easy to manage.After all, they don't know which of these people are still loyal to the original vassal.These people are actually easy to deal with. After all, the vassal lord they are loyal to has been sentenced to death. All the sons of the Beichuan family died, and the women were used as official slaves. The heirs of King Xian were all killed He was imprisoned in the city of Chang'an.These people are at most just playing small troubles.

However, among the 5 people sent by King Jing and King Ding, there are probably many people who are truly loyal to the two kings.

It's just that the court couldn't let go of these people.Because once the court does not want them, these people will be the help of the second king.Instead of that, it's better to get people here first.

Therefore, after the ministers heard this, Xiang Meng changed his mind and said, "If so, this matter is not impossible. However, King Zhao and King Yin should train healthy soldiers between the ages of 19 and 35 who have been trained by them for more than three years." Li sent 10 people, and they had to take over the 5 people sent by King Ding and King Jing respectively, and the 10 people under the command of King Yuanxian and King Beichuan. In this way, the two kings can also have the 20 people that the saint said people."

Meng Xiang's words were not inappropriate at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he took away the 15 elite soldiers under the command of King Yin and King Zhao who had 10 troops respectively.In particular, it has only been more than three years since King Zhao owned the vassal land, and the training time for troops has only been more than three years.And a year ago, King Zhao had only 5 soldiers.The remaining [-] people were all recruited by King Zhao a year ago when the sage wanted to transfer the elite soldiers of Marquis Ning Yuan from King Zhao's vassal, and the training time was only one year.

But now, Xiang Meng opened his mouth and asked for 10 people who had been trained the longest and were most loyal to King Zhao.Even for the King of Yin, the King of Yin has only 15 soldiers in total, and 10 people have to leave, which is a huge loss for the King of Yin.

Some of the other courtiers felt that this matter was inappropriate. To persecute King Zhao and King Yin so much, would it not only be these two vassal kings who were loyal to the court, would they feel dissatisfied with the court because of this?Originally, the imperial court had to face the covetousness of foreigners, and internally it had to prevent King Jing and King Ding from recuperating and take action against the court again. It is already a great fortune in misfortune to have the loyal King Yin and King Zhao to help them. If they are forced again, Does anyone know that King Zhao and King Yin will start to side with King Ding and King Jing next time?After all, among other things, King Jing is the biological father of King Zhao. If King Jing seriously promises that the next heir can only be King Zhao, it is hard to guarantee that King Zhao will not be shaken.Now King Zhao and King Yin don't have much contact, but everyone knows that it was King Zhao who picked up the past who was still a wolf boy and taught him seriously. When the old King Yin came to ask for someone, King Zhao also won for King Yin The greatest benefit...Under such circumstances, King Zhao may not be unable to persuade King Yin to join hands.

And at that time, the imperial court...how can it stand?

Therefore, some courtiers stood up and analyzed all the pros and cons.

But another human said: "Because of guarding against the thoughts of the second king, the imperial court has to strictly guard against them, so that even if the second king has such thoughts, he will not be able to help King Jing. In this case, it is even more necessary to discuss this matter. To carry it out to the end, one hundred thousand elite soldiers must be taken away from them."

"How can this be done? Although this world belongs to the emperor, if the emperor wants to govern the world well, he must have many courtiers to help him. And if the emperor blindly guards against his courtiers, then once the courtiers are completely chilled one day What should the imperial court do? It should be known that King Zhao and King Yin have contributed a lot to the imperial court, especially since they are both real young generals. If the imperial court trusts and respects them, they will not only be loyal to the imperial court, but also serve the court. The imperial court took back the border for dozens of years, and then selected new generals who could guard the border. At the same time, like in the recent battle, if the two hadn't helped each other, the imperial court wanted to destroy the original army at the cost of the least loss of troops like this time. King Xian and King Beichuan are simply impossible!"

An old official said earnestly: "The emperor treats his ministers as scholars, and the ministers can treat the emperor with loyalty. Moreover, King Zhao and King Yin are so capable ministers and generals, they are loyal. How can a sage worry about small gains and trifles? They? The heart of a saint should be as wide as the sea, so that it can accommodate capable people from all over the world!"

This old official usually doesn't show much, but what he said today is quite astonishing.

Xie Hanying sized up the old minister seriously, and then glanced at Prime Minister Xie, who nodded slightly at him.

Xie Hanying immediately understood that Xie Xiang was old and already an octogenarian, even if he wanted to help the future Xie Rongying again, he didn't have the body anymore.Therefore, I persuaded a courtier with the ability to be a prime minister who was not very willing to serve the court in the past. Although this courtier has reached the age of knowing the destiny, he is much younger than him. If he is really willing to plan for the court, Nature is the best.

So Xie Hanying looked at the old man for a while, then got up and helped him up personally, and said with a smile: "What Xu Qing said is true, I should reflect on myself every day, and I will not treat any loyal ministers badly. Xu Qing, And don't worry."

Only then did Xu Ruhui feel relieved of his previous concerns about the previous dynasty, and gave a big gift to Xie Hanying, sighing: "The past is over, and the old minister understands it today. However, the old minister cares about the people and thinks that he will come and go in this life." Once you have suffered, you have to do some practical things for the people of the world. And the sage is a wise king that is rare in the ages. If the old minister does not worship the sage, he will be worthless." After that, he bowed three times, one is to apologize, and the other is to say goodbye show loyalty.

Xie Hanying only smiled and said: "It's really my luck to have Xu Qing's action today, and it's a great blessing!"

Therefore, when the courtiers discussed this matter again, they all knew the will of the saint. Although some people continued to persuade them, there were fewer people who persuaded them.

Xie Hanying had already made plans in his heart, but he looked at Xie Rongying and said, "What do you think, King Rong?"

Xie Rongying had some thoughts in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he just said: "My sage has the same idea."

Xie Hanying felt disappointed and glanced at Xiang Xie.

Xie Xiang closed his eyes slightly, obviously extremely disappointed.

However, Xie Hanying had an idea, and now he is saying the same thing in the court, so he ordered according to his original idea, ordering King Zhao and King Yin to send out the 13 soldiers who were originally trained. Among the remaining soldiers in the land and those sent by the second king Dingjing, [-] people were selected and taken to the border.

In addition, King Xu Zhao and King Yin took away from the lands of the original King Xian and the Beichuan King’s vassals enough food for three years for their supporters and court officers guarding the border, as well as 30 good horses, 300 bows, 30 million arrows, and 5 arrows. A shield, [-] taels of gold.

Although there are still people in the imperial court who are unwilling and feel that the saint trusts the two kings too much, but the saint is no longer the original saint. Although he is still gentle and polite, he is much more decisive than before, so he has no choice but to admit this. thing.

When Xie Hanying returned to the palace, he summoned Prime Minister Xie.

Xie Hanying's face was ugly, and Xie Xiang's face was also ugly.

After waving everyone away, Xie Hanying said: "Great Uncle, you saw that Rong Ying...he can't. It's not that I don't give him a chance, it's him, really can't."

If such Xie Rongying is allowed to succeed, Xie Hanying is afraid that even if he has created the best situation for Xie Rongying, Xie Rongying will destroy everything now.

But Xie Xiang said: "But King Zhao can't do it either! King Zhao is the biological son of King Jing, and he is also the eldest son! If you let King Zhao inherit the throne, then does the sage really think that the spittle of the world is so easy to bear? When the king arrives, he will definitely use filial piety, which will make King Zhao breathless, so that even if King Zhao secures the throne, his reputation will definitely be ruined! Saint, do you want King Zhao to take this position, and then be regarded by the world for generations? Criticism and reprimand? And King Rong and the Queen Mother, the sage really thought that if King Zhao took that position, King Rong and the Queen Mother would really let King Zhao take that position instead of trying to find ways to kill themselves? , Saint... really don't care?"

Xie Hanying collapsed on the couch.

He thought that in his life, he would be sorry for A Yuan.
