Chapter 650: The Future of Deng Zun and Deng Fu
Chapter 650: Deng Zun, Deng Fu's future
The message of moving the capital caused a lot of controversy throughout Wancheng and attracted the attention of all forces. Among them, the Deng clan clan was the most concerned. After all, the Deng clan clan clan has been in Wancheng and Nanyang for almost three hundred years. Once the capital is moved, it means that a large number of clan clans will leave Wancheng and go to Xindu, and years of operations will be destroyed in an instant.
Deng Sheng also paid close attention to the reactions of various forces. He secretly ordered Mingjing to monitor all forces. As soon as the royal family had just held a meeting at the Changsha County Prince's Mansion, Mingjing Mingshou Yao Guangxiao immediately entered the palace to see Deng Sheng.
"Your Majesty, after the recent message of moving the capital spread in Wancheng, various forces have surged, but there has been no major move yet. In addition, today a group of royal families gathered in Changsha County Prince's Mansion." Yao Guangxiao bowed and said in Ganyang Palace.
"Why can't I hold back so quickly? Who are there?" Deng Sheng sighed and said, he didn't expect that the first person to act was the royal family.
Yao Guangxiao said: "There are the Shangyong County Prince Deng Jing, the Wuling County Prince Deng Tong, the Changxin Hou Deng Yuan, the Qingning Hou Deng Pi, the Changxing Hou Deng Zhu and others."
"Do you know what they are talking about?" Deng Sheng asked. Although the place where these royal families talked to was in the Changsha County Prince's Mansion and most people couldn't get in, Mingjing monitored the world. As long as Mingjing wanted to know, there was nothing in the entire Deng Kingdom who didn't know.
Yao Guangxiao said: "The core of the conversation between the royal family is that there have been rumors about the capital movement in recent days, and the Prince Shangyong once asked the Prince of Changsha to persuade His Majesty to dispel the idea of moving the capital, but the Prince of Changsha refused on the grounds that it was not confirmed yet."
"Haha, I, the fourth brother, have learned to be smart!" Deng Sheng laughed when he heard this. He knew the best. He was impulsive when he was young. He didn't expect that he would learn to be smart when he was old.
"In addition, the royal family also talked about one thing, that is, the royal family has withered in recent years, so the Changsha County Prince proposed to promote the Nanhai Prefect Deng Song and Kuaiji Prefect Deng Bei. After everyone's conversation, the Wuling County Prince went to the East Palace." Yao Guangxiao said another thing.
After hearing this, Deng Sheng suddenly felt silent. Deng Song and Deng Bei, both of them, Deng Sheng remembered that they were the prefect whom they had chosen. He praised them for their responsibility. After all, as a royal family, they abandoned their wealth and went to Nanhai County and Kuaiji County, the two wild places, with commendable courage. They have been there for more than ten years, and it is really not easy. It is time to promote them. Although the two are not top-notch, they naturally have advantages over others from the royal family. Moreover, Deng Sheng himself often lamented that there were insufficient talents in the royal family.
"Well, I understand, you go down first, remember, it's a troublesome now, Mingjing must take Wancheng well. If there is any mistake, don't blame me for not being merciless." Deng Sheng said.
"Here!" Yao Guangxiao responded.
On the other hand, Deng Tong, the Prince of Wuling, also came to Shangli Palace. When Deng Hao heard that Deng Tong had arrived, he hurriedly came out to greet him. At the same time, he felt very strange that his uncles had never taken the initiative to go to Shangli Palace to find him. What is the purpose of today?
"I pay homage to the Crown Prince!" Deng Tong saluted Deng Hao.
Deng Hao quickly helped Deng Tong up and said, "Uncle Emperor, don't be too polite!"
"Thank you Your Highness!" Deng Tong stood up and thanked.
"What's the important thing about the emperor's uncle coming today?" Deng Hao asked. As the saying goes, he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. He had never been to Shangli Palace for his own initiative. Deng Hao didn't believe that Deng Tong was visiting him today.
Deng Tong said, "There is one thing I want to tell His Highness."
"I don't know what? The emperor 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 talents available in my royal family. The Nanhai Prefect Deng Song and the Kuaiji Prefect Deng Bei are rare talents in my royal family. At that time, the Yue region was settled, and all the civil and military officials in the court were unwilling to go to such a wild place. They stood up to share the worries of the country, which shows their hearts. Now they have been in the two counties for more than ten years. I am here to ask Your Highness for grace today."
When Deng Hao heard this, his thoughts quickly returned to fourteen years ago. It was he who recommended Deng Song and Deng Bei to Deng Sheng. Unexpectedly, it would be fourteen years in a blink of an eye.
However, Deng Hao was also a little embarrassed at this time and said, "Uncle, the two brothers guarded one of the national herdsmen and worked diligently for more than ten years. It is natural to promote it, but this is not the case. The promotion and promotion of officials have their own regulations, not to mention that it is related to the royal family. The father and emperor need to nod."
"Your Highness, now the Great Deng is about to settle the world, and it is the time for us and other members of the royal family to serve the country. Your Highness must know that the world belongs to the Deng family, and there is no one who cares more about it than the Deng family." Deng Tong said.
Deng Hao thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I am really unable to tell you about this matter. However, what I will tell my father. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on what the father means."
"Thank you Your Highness!" Deng Tong said happily. Although Deng Hao was not right, as the prince of a country, Deng Sheng has been committed to improving Deng Hao's reputation in recent years. Therefore, Deng Sheng generally agrees as long as the suggestions put forward by Deng Hao are not too excessive.
"Okay, uncle, go back first, I will go to see my father now." Deng Hao said.
"Then I'll give you my best, I'll take your leave now!" Since Deng Hao had agreed, Deng Tong naturally didn't want to stay longer. After all, as a royal family, especially the royal family who snatched the throne with Deng Sheng back then, every time they entered the palace, they could be said to be at risk of their lives.
After Deng Tong left, Deng Hao immediately came to Ganyang Palace to look for Deng Sheng.
"My son pays homage to my father!" Deng Hao politely said.
"Get up!" Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Have your sixth uncle gone to find you?"
Deng Hao was a little surprised. He knew that Deng Tong would definitely not be able to hide it from Deng Sheng when he came to him, but this was too fast. Deng Tong stayed in Shangli Palace for less than half an hour, and he also started looking for Deng Sheng at the first time. It took less than an hour before and Deng Sheng knew so quickly.
"Father sees Wanli!" Deng Hao complimented.
"Haha!" Deng Sheng smiled and said, "Is it strange that I could know so quickly? In fact, there is no need to be surprised. All over the world, is it the king's land; the shores of the land, is it 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, say, what is your sixth uncle asking you to do?"
Deng Hao said: "Does your father still remember Deng Song and Deng Bei?"
Deng Sheng nodded and said, "I remember that after pacifying Yue, you personally recommended them to me and asked them to go south to Nanhai County and Kuaiji County to serve as prefects."
"This time the emperor came to see Erchen, hoping that Erchen could make suggestions to his father and promote them. Erchen thought that they had been the prefect of the two counties for more than ten years, and they worked diligently and had outstanding political achievements. It was time to promote them." Deng Hao said.
Deng Sheng frowned and said, "It is not a big deal to promote them, but with their abilities, they are slightly insufficient in the central government. They are both prefects, and they will either be promoted or serve as a governor, but there are no vacancy now."
Deng Hao thought for a while and said, "Father, Guanzhong is about to be taken down, and there are still eight counties in Xiliang. There are many officials needed, so they can be transferred to Guanzhong. In addition, the governor of Jingbei Road Cai Jie wrote letters to request his resignation many times. My sons thought that the two of them were enough to serve as governor of Jingbei Road."
Cai Jie, the governor of Jingbei Province, is the son of the late Duke Cai Feng and the elder brother of the queen Cai Yan. After Cai Feng retired, Deng Sheng appointed him as the prefect of Nanjun. Later, after establishing a governor, Deng Sheng appointed him as the governor of Jingbei Province because of the lack of successor of the Cai family. However, Cai Jie was not very capable and could not get any chance in the court of Deng, which was full of stars. Therefore, this prefect has been more than ten years old and is almost at the age of retiring.
Deng Sheng thought about it carefully, and then said, "Well, it's time for Deng Song and Deng Bei to be promoted, and they are still royal families. You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own opinions on whether to transfer or promote it."
"Here!" Deng Hao replied. Since Deng Sheng said so, Deng Song and Deng Bei will definitely have a good result.
"There is another thing, I want to discuss it with you." Deng Sheng said.
"What's the matter? Please tell me your father!" Deng Hao asked.
"Even the fourth and fifth brothers, they are not young anymore. You, the second and third brothers, have already made their mark at their age, and it is time for them to move." Deng Sheng said.
The fourth brother Deng Zun and the fifth brother Deng Fu were both born in the 11th year of Qianyuan. They are both twenty-two years old this year. Deng Hao had been in politics for several years at this age, while the second brother Deng Han and the third brother Deng Yu also served in the army for many years and participated in the Battle of Pingyue and Destroy the South. Deng Zun and Deng Fu were already very late.
Deng Hao frowned when he heard this. 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 Deng Deng. However, when it comes to government affairs, Deng Fu was not even as good as a county magistrate. The key is the fourth brother Deng Zun. This younger brother has always been a key focus for Deng Hao. He didn't think anything when he was young. However, as he grew older, Deng Hao gradually discovered that this younger brother's literary and martial arts must surpass him. Therefore, Deng Hao couldn't help but be wary of him. Of course, he was just guarding him. It was not a life-and-death enemy. First, Deng Zun never expressed his desire to compete with him. Second, he had been the crown prince for more than ten years and had a certain prestige in the court. Although the position of crown prince is not as stable as Mount Tai, it is not something that Deng Zun can shake now.
"I wonder if my father plans to let the two younger brothers join the army or go to politics?" Deng Hao asked.
"You are also very clear about the abilities and personalities of your two younger brothers. Let's talk about Lao Wu first. Lao Wu is a martial artist. If you let him stay in government documents all day, you might as well kill him. I plan to let him go to the army to serve. After a few years, give him an elite guard and guard the side." Deng Sheng thought for a while and said.
The soul that Deng Sheng implanted on Deng Fu at the beginning was the fourth dimension of Gao Chong, a powerful general in the Yue family army of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was a complete template for generals, and it was also a powerful 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 State has set a precedent for the prince to lead the army. It is not a big deal for Deng Fu to lead the army alone.
"As for Zun'er, I'm a little embarrassed!" When Deng Zun came to Deng Zun, Deng Sheng began to feel embarrassed. When Deng Zun was born, due to a sudden system error, Deng Zun directly implanted the potential of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. It once gave Deng Sheng the idea of establishing Deng Zun as the crown prince. In order to realize this idea, Deng Sheng still suppressed not to establish the crown prince for many years. It was not until the birth of his eldest grandson Deng Huan. Deng Sheng made up his mind to establish Deng Hao as the crown prince. Firstly, because the country was not in good shape at that time, court officials repeatedly proposed to establish the crown prince. Deng Sheng had no reason to hold on until Deng Zun became older. Secondly, Deng Hao had a reputation in both his abilities and evaluations. With such excellent eldest son, Deng Sheng seemed to have no reason to refuse.
Since Deng Hao was appointed as the crown prince, Deng Sheng began to focus on cultivating Deng Hao. When choosing a wife for Deng Zun, he rejected Cui Hao's daughter and Huang Deng's daughter, in order not to let Deng Zun have the strength to threaten Deng Hao's status.
"You also know that Zun'er is proficient in literature and martial arts, and is also a leader among all the scholars. Whether he is leading the army alone or in charge of the ruling party, it is more than enough. It is precisely this that makes me embarrassed!" Deng Sheng said.
"Did your father mean to ask the fourth brother?" Deng Hao asked.
Deng Sheng nodded and said, "I have asked, Zun'er said that I will let me take charge. I have thought about it and decided to let him go to politics. Han'er, Yu'er, and Fu'er are all in the army. You lack a helper around you, so I plan to let Zun'er enter politics."
"Then I wonder how my father plans to settle the fourth brother?" Deng Zun was in politics, but Deng Hao was not so worried, because Deng Hao had been the crown prince for so many years, and his prestige in the court was not comparable to Deng Zun, and as long as he did not make any major mistakes, Deng Zun would have no chance.
Deng Sheng thought for a while and said, "Now that Guanzhong is about to set up a tripod, it is urgent to appease it. Moreover, moving the capital to Luoyang is imperative, so the stability of Guanzhong is even more important. Therefore, I plan to appoint Zun'er as Guanzhong Xuanfu Envoy to be in charge of Guanzhong."
"Father, I wonder if the fourth brother, the envoy of Xuanfu, can take charge of military power?" Deng Hao asked hurriedly. If Deng Zun was just in charge of government affairs, it would be better if he was afraid that Deng Sheng would give all the military power of Guanzhong to Deng Zun. That would be different. Once Deng Zun grasped the military power of Guanzhong, Guanzhong would become a country in the middle of the country. This power was nothing when Deng Sheng was there, but once Deng Sheng was not here and after Deng Hao ascended the throne, Deng Zun was unwilling to accept it and rebelled all the troops in Guanzhong. That would be no joke.
