Chapter 601 Loyalty(2/3)
Han Shitou came out, glanced at the sunshine outside, and said, "The weather is nice."
Zhao Sanfu came in a hurry.
"Shaojian Han."
"Pick up the important ones and tell them."
"Yes." Zhao Sanfu said, "It's mainly news from Northern Xinjiang."
Wang Shou was still on his way into the palace. He came here now to inform Han Shitou, the emperor, of the important news. Then, Han Shitou would respond to the two pieces of news. If there was a mistake, who was responsible for it?
Who are you looking for trouble?
This is also a check and balance.
"Huang Chunhui vomited blood, and then the city arrested the leaker..."
"Huang Chunhui then reviewed the Northern Xinjiang Army and praised Liao Jin in the street, and..." Zhao Sanfu glanced at Han Shitou, "and Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou."
Han Shitou said calmly: "It's an overstep!"
"Yes." Zhao Sanfu continued: "Then Liao Jin took action and persuaded the general of Nangui City to surrender, Sun Yan, a descendant of the Sun family of the Northern Liao clan..."
"Is there more?"
"No more."
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty remembers your loyalty."
Zhao Sanfu shed tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Young Supervisor."
Zhao Sanfu resigned.
A female official happened to come to the Liyuan. When she saw Han Shitou, she smiled and said, "Why is Young Inspector Han in a daze? Is he relaxing in the sun?"
Han Shitou raised his head and smiled, "Yes! Comfortable."
Then, the emperor's roar came again from the opera house.
"The appointment of the Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi came from me. Does that old dog think he is an emperor?"
Things are serious!
Then the king and his ministers discussed matters.
"Take it down!" Zheng Qi suggested without hesitation to take down Huang Chunhui, "Order the important ministers to suppress him. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world and rebel?"
"If Beiliao is aroused and invades on a large scale, who will resist?" Left Prime Minister Chen Shen glanced at Zheng Qi, his eyes clearly filled with contempt.
Zheng Qi is just a mad dog kept by the father-in-law, and his suggestions are mostly against people and things.
"There are so many famous generals in the DPRK..."
"Who?" Chen Shen rarely spoke, but he was aggressive.
Zheng Qi's eyes turned...
Look at those generals, they are said to be famous generals, but how many of them have been baptized by the war?
The most recent one is Zhang Huan, but this man once served as the military governor of southern Xinjiang. If he were to take over as the military governor of northern Xinjiang, Zhang Huan would be begging for his bones!
Who can resist the hundreds of thousands of cavalry from Northern Liao?
Zheng Qi glanced at the emperor and found that the emperor's anger... seemed to be gone.
In other words, the emperor had no intention of dealing with Huang Chunhui at all.
Chen Shen said: "Your Majesty, Huang Chunhui vomited blood and will not die soon. We all know his intention to provoke Beiliao.
He was worried about what would happen to Northern Xinjiang after he left.
I want to say that since you are not at ease, just throw the problem to Chang'an and let the Dukes of Chang'an solve it.
But I thought about it and thought about it again, but found that it was difficult!
There are more than 100,000 troops in Northern Xinjiang and hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Northern Liao. Who can take over such a situation and such a mess?"
The ministers were silent.
yes!
Who can take over?
There is something in Chen Shen's words...it's not just a question of ability, but also a question of running-in.
Northern Xinjiang has been suppressed for many years. How much resentment do the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang have?
Zheng Qi also shamelessly talked about taking down Huang Chunhui to see who dares to rebel... Someone really rebelled and the situation in northern Xinjiang collapsed. Who will bear the responsibility?
But Huang Chunhui arranged a successor in public in Taoxian County. This was an overstep and a big mistake!
This shows that Huang Chunhui is desperate for the emperor.
I am desperate for Chang'an.
He believed that after he left, the emperor would take action to disrupt the inherent structure of Northern Xinjiang and turn Northern Xinjiang into a tool of checks and balances... This is what Huang Chunhui cannot tolerate the most!
Therefore, he would rather take the risk of being whipped after death and announce his successor in public, and even said that Chang'an was also satisfied.
This is the style of powerful ministers.
Once Beijiang continues to follow his arrangements, the relationship with Chang'an will become increasingly alienated. Chang'an's subsequent response will be nothing more than two methods:
First, wait for Huang Chunhui to go before easing the relationship and slowly bringing Beijiang back.
Second, after Huang Chunhui leaves, he can deploy people to transform Northern Xinjiang. But if this method is not done well, it will trigger a backlash in Northern Xinjiang. Once there is a stalemate, Northern Xinjiang may become a country within a country.
Has the emperor thought about this consequence?
Chen Shen looked at the emperor calmly.
The emperor looked very calm, almost indifferent.
"Medical officer, we have already set off."
The emperor's words made the hall breathe a sigh of relief.
This is a conciliatory gesture.
"Let's break up!"
The ministers dispersed.
Chen Shen walked with several close officials.
"His Majesty has already acquiesced to Liao Jin's succession. Anyway, Liao Jin couldn't hold on for a few more years. But he went on to recommend Yang Xuan... the Zhou family's son-in-law. This is the main reason that angered His Majesty."
Chen Shen nodded, "What does Zhou Zun mean?"
Everyone looked and saw Zhou Zun walking alone behind.
"Invite him." Chen Shen usually talks little and does little, but today he changed his past style and became proactive.
Zhou Zun came over.
"Your son-in-law is young, and it is a bit taboo for Huang Chunhui to recommend him." Chen Shen said bluntly.
"I know."
"Then, please forgive me for speaking bluntly."
"Please speak, Mr. Chen."
"Do Zhou and Huang Chunhui have any friendship!?"
Chen Shen stared at him.
"My son-in-law... Before we got married, I was dissatisfied with him, and everyone knew about it. But the child likes me, and I can't do anything about it."
Yang Xuan was rejected by the Zhou family for a long time and was ridiculed by insiders for a long time.
"He went to Northern Xinjiang, and the letters he exchanged were about good news but not bad news, but I frequently heard his name in the good news."
Zhou Zun looked at Chen Shen and raised his voice.
"I love my daughter, so after we got married, I asked him to stay in Chang'an, but he flatly refused.
The old man asked him, how is Chang'an?
He said that Chang'an is good, but Chang'an is good because there are countless loyal and brave people guarding the country in northern and southern Xinjiang.
If you don’t go, and I won’t go, then, who will protect Datang? Who will protect our homeland?”
The ministers stopped and turned around slowly.
Zhou Zun said: "When he went to northern Xinjiang, many people said he was going to die, but he still had no hesitation.
In Taiping, he managed a sinful city in an orderly manner, which is now known as Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall.
In Chenzhou, he destroyed three major tribes and defeated the Northern Liao Army in Tanzhou... I don't know Huang Chunhui's intention in recommending him, but I want to ask..."
Zhou Zun looked at Chen Shen, "Is he worthy of this respect? Why do we have to wait until Huang Chunhui comes to see him?"
boom!
