Chapter 676： Confrontation!

Lu Zheng chatted with all the officials one by one, and the Emperor Xin De suddenly called for all the officials to see him.

The ministers went to the hall, and Emperor Xin De sat on the high dragon chair, and his companion Feng Gonggong stood on his side. Under the dragon seat, sandalwood lingered. Emperor Xin De rarely wore the dragon court uniform and crown. The temperament has changed.

All the ministers entered the hall and bowed together, saying: "See your majesty, long live, long live!"

Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said: "Be flat, the qings have been working hard recently. Since I came to Jiangnan, Jiangshan Sheji has been born with all kinds of sorrows, the trouble of the rebels in Liaodong, the trouble of the rebels in Longyou, now I am Dakang has only two places in the north, Shandong and Beijing, and all other areas are in the hands of the traitors!

Today, I sit in the court and listen to politics. I just want to listen to the opinions of all the Aiqings. Everyone is thinking about the country and the mountains and speaking freely. I listen carefully, how about? "

According to Emperor Xinde, all the ministers all looked at me, and I looked at you, and didn't know how to talk about it. There are too many problems in Dakang now, and it is not easy to explain how to say it for a while. Besides, even if you see these problems, how to solve them? With the current situation in Dakang, can it be resolved?

In addition, there is the most important point. The ministers are all whispering in their hearts. I don't know why Emperor Xinde suddenly asked about this. What does your Majesty think in his heart? What is he going to do?

Over the past few decades, the actions and behaviors of Emperor Xin De have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The courtiers all know that the truth of your majesty's hard work in cultivating immortals is just incidental, and it is often just a whim. Just like today, Emperor Xin De suddenly put on his costume, and everyone felt awkward and uncomfortable. In their memory, they hadn't gone to court for a long time.

Except for a few people such as Duan Lintang, many of the veterans sitting here have not even seen Emperor Xin De sit in the court in person. For example, Lu Zheng was attending the court meeting for the first time today. I have to say that this is an irony, the biggest irony since the establishment of the Dakang dynasty for more than a hundred years.

The courtiers were all dumb, and Emperor Xin De's expression was a bit ugly. He said: "You are all my pillars of great prosperity? I let you talk freely. Why do you cringe like this?

Duan Aiqing, speak first! Are you the prime minister, let's start! "

Duan Tanglin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority at the moment should be to defend Jiangnan first. Jiangnan cannot be without defense, so the reconstruction of the Nanfu Army is imminent! Jiangnan is not guarded, and the hearts of the people are unstable. Please make sure to arrange Jiangnan well. The problem of the Nanfu Army is related to the stability of people's hearts and the prosperity of the national fortune!"

Emperor Xinde nodded and said: "Duan Xiang makes sense. I have received the proposal to rebuild the Nanfu Army a long time ago, and I have been thinking about it! The saying goes well, if you want to know the soldier, you must choose the general first. The position of the chief commander of the military army is particularly important. Since Duan Qing mentioned this issue, I also think that this matter is imminent and urgent. How about we discuss it today?"

With the words of Emperor Xin De, there was a lot of noise below. At this time, the chief governor of the Nanfu Army should be selected? This is the most controversial thing recently!

The general governor of the Nanfu Army is very important, and the position is too important. Now all forces are wrestling around this issue. The main reason is that the tacit understanding between Your Majesty and the Jiangnan Powers does not seem to have been reached. The question of selection is really difficult to determine suddenly.

Now that Emperor Xinde suddenly raised the question of selecting generals in the Nanfu army, could he have a tacit understanding between him and the Jiangnan power lords? Subconsciously, many people turned their eyes to Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng also looked confused, but he made a lot of waves in his heart.

He knew in his heart that Emperor Xin De had put up such a big battle today and was about to showdown on certain issues. It came so suddenly that Lu Zheng suddenly realized that he was the only one representing the power of Jiangnan today, and he thought about it. Therefore, he couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that his majesty is still that majesty, and he always works hard to calculate people in silent places. But even if this is the case, will all parties be satisfied with the selection of the general of the Nanfu Army today?

Emperor Xin De raised a question and immediately asked his courtiers to recommend him. Duan Tanglin was the first to speak. He said: "The Nanfu military is very important, and the chief minister should be the chief. The most appropriate thing is that Master Jin is always heavy and has good training. Under his leadership, the Nanfu Army will surely grow rapidly, thus smoothly safeguarding our stability in the south of the Yangtze River!"

When Duan Tanglin said this, someone immediately agreed, but it was Duan's Duan Zheng who was waiting for a few doctors first, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird! At this moment, it is clear that Jin Wannian, Shang Shu of the Ministry of War, has been pushed to the forefront, and the current situation is indeed only Jin Wannian the most appropriate. It seems that this candidate does not have too many objections.

But is it really so? Lu Zheng's eyes slowly narrowed. From this incident, he had already seen the current strategy of the Duan family. The Duan family is now close to Emperor Xin De. The two sides have already had a considerable understanding, and Jin Wannian must have done so. With a tacit understanding with Duan Tanglin, courtiers have split.

In fact, this is normal, because Emperor Xin De’s behavior style is like this. He absolutely cannot tolerate the dominance of one party. His favorite drama is to engage in differentiation, so that the various forces in North Korea and China can fight, and then have a certain balance. On this basis, he adjusts in the middle, so as to master the initiative.

Obviously, the Duan family is now preparing to establish a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, but is not ready to rely on the power of the south of the Yangtze River. What about today’s meeting? Is it possible that Cheng Jin Wannian really became the chief governor of the Nanfu Army so easily?

Many people subconsciously set their sights on Lu Zheng, because Lu Zheng is now the leading figure of the Jiangnan Power Clan. On this occasion, the Jiangnan Clan Clan wants to fight back, so he should raise his arms.

But the subtle thing is that on this occasion, Lu Zheng's official rank is not high, at least there are several prime ministers in front of him! Duan Tanglin has spoken, it is not his turn yet, Zuo Jia Zuojie hasn't spoken yet!

Does the Zuo Family and Emperor Xin De also have a tacit understanding? This question is also a question in everyone's mind. Lu Zheng lowered his head and said nothing, as if waiting for something quietly.

The left stair did not speak, and the atmosphere in the court was a bit cold. Xin Dedi sat on the dragon chair, looking around, looking around, and said, "What's the matter? Did Zhu Qing have no objections?"

He cast his gaze on the left order, and said, "Left, why are you not talking today?"

Step left: "Return to your Majesty, the ministers really don't know much about military affairs, so I dare not say anything. If your majesty needs advice from the ministers for government affairs, the ministers must speak up in righteousness, and they will die for the country and society!"

Emperor Xinde laughed and said, "What a leftist, you are humble enough, okay, if you don't say it, you will be treated as if you have no objections! Then everyone present has no objections? Isn't that I can make an order? Are you sure about this?"

When Emperor Xinde said this, his gaze fell on Lu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, and Lu Zheng still lowered his head and said nothing. The civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty also secretly glanced at Lu Zheng, wanting to see what Lu Zheng's attitude was, but Lu Zheng had no intention to speak after all. It seemed that he was also satisfied with the candidate of Emperor Xinde, and had no objection.

And just when everyone was confused by Lu Zheng’s attitude, a person in the hall suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Duan Xiang’s proposal is inappropriate! Jin Shangshu is the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and he serves as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War. The governor of the city, isn't there only the Southern Army Army in the world?

At present, Dakang is not only a place in the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it only an army in the south of the Yangtze River. There are still twelve guards in the capital. His Royal Highness is still working hard to supervise the country and sacrifice for the country!

In addition, His Royal Highness King Qi of Shandong has just expelled the Liaodong rebels for the country, and he also has an army capable of conquering and fighting well! If Jin Shangshu becomes the leader of the Nanfu Army, our great army in the North, how will they look at our court?

Did the court really give them up? Let them become traitors? "

As soon as he said this, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone looked at the speaker. It was Cao Weiming. After Cao Weiming's speech, Zhao Chongqian immediately rushed out and said, "Weichen thought that Cao Shangshu said and even reasoned famous words! The Shangshu of the Dakang War Department must not only lead a commander of the army, so I will be better off and I will have no peace!"

The two Shangshu objected, and the situation suddenly became more subtle. Jin Wannian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also took a step forward, saying: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think this is wrong! The ministers are the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and all military affairs in the world are handled by the ministers. Now, although the Nanfu Army is important, letting the Weichen as the chief governor of the Nanfu Army will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary suspicion and trouble, so the Weichen also thinks it is inappropriate!"

At a critical moment, Jin Wannian retreated by himself. When it comes to the reason, it is naturally very simple. If he serves as the chief commander of the Nanfu Army and asks him to give up his position as a minister of war, obviously he will never want to.

Or some people say that the chief governor of the Nanfu Army has real military power in his hands, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is just a vacant position. Which of these two positions is more important, doesn't Jin Wannian know?

Of course, Jin Wannian knew that the chief governor of the Nanfu Army had real power, but he also knew that the real power of the Nanfu Army was in the hands of the Jiangnan Powers, and the Jiangnan Powers would never hand over the military power to Jin Wannian. On the territory of Jiangnan, Jin Wannian is not afraid that Jin Wannian is very capable. Jiangnan Quanshu has countless ways to make him subdue!

Therefore, when Jin Wannian served as the chief governor of the Southern Army in Jiangnan, he was bound to be just an empty shelf. Since they are all empty shelves, why didn't he serve as the military secretary? In the position of Shang Shu, maybe one day His Majesty will send him to re-form an army! At that time, when Jin Wannian returned to Shandong, wouldn't it be that the dragon returned to the sea?

The scene was blown up, and the three Shangshu objected. The proposal of Emperor Xin De lost the basis for implementation. The scene was very embarrassing. Emperor Xin De's face was very gloomy, while the hearts of the other officials were secretly funny.

Only then did they understand that there was originally no tacit understanding between Emperor Xin De and the Jiangnan Power Sovereign. What Emperor Xin De did today was wishful thinking, but his wishful thinking. Lu Zheng did not move at all, so he collapsed. This shows how interesting the situation in Jiangnan is, and how far Emperor Xin De's control of Dakang has become.

Emperor Xin De was a clever man. In the early days of his reign, he could quickly grasp power. At that time, the entire Dakang believed that he would be a master.

However, Emperor Xinde used decades of ruined government affairs to tell Dakang's subjects how unreliable he was. No matter how talented the emperor is, his mind is not on government affairs. Over time, it will naturally cause distraction and distrust of others.

And no matter how superb tactics, the emperor’s mind is the most powerful. In the face of facts and people's minds, these methods and minds are just trivia. Emperor Xin De's methods are powerful, but his masters of the dilemma have really become a chaos in the world. Even his sons don't have any hope of him, can they still count on the people of the world to continue to guarantee their trust in him?

Duan Tanglin's face was also very ugly. Originally, he made up his mind today to wrestle with Lu Zheng! With this, he can establish prestige in the south of the Yangtze River, and let all the forces in the south of the Yangtze River know that the Duan family from the capital has the courage to challenge the Lu family. With this, he can slowly avoid the dominance of the Lu family.

However, the reality is very cruel. Lu Zheng did not speak from the beginning to the end of today’s discussion, but Duan Tanglin suffered a major setback. In other words, Duan Tanglin didn’t even have a chance to challenge Lu Zheng. His full ambitions are now fully transformed. For humiliation.

Emperor Xinde snorted coldly, and said: "The Dakang Nanfu Army cannot be left without a general. If the Nanfu Army cannot be built because it cannot elect the future, it is simply a big joke, and it will really make the world. Shame!"

"Cao Weiming, you think Jin Shangshu is not a suitable candidate, do you have a suitable candidate?" Xin De Emperor asked.

Cao Weiming said neither humble nor arrogant: "We have no suitable candidates for the minister!"

"Zhao Zhongqian!"

Zhao Zhongqian stepped forward and bowed: "Weichen also has no suitable candidates!"

Emperor Xinde asked Tier Zuo and several other people again, and got the same answer. He couldn't help it anymore. He stood up furiously, pointed his fingers at the ministers below, shaking with anger and said:

"You are ashamed to be the pillar of the country, and you have disappointed me too much. Could it be that I have such a vast territory, so many outstanding people, that no one can be the leader of the Nanfu Army?

There are so many of you, all of them are wine pouches and rice bags, they are all corpse-position vegetarian meals, all are...all...all..." Emperor Xin De said three of them in a row at the last time, but he didn't know how to curse.

He yelled, panting, the ministers below all lowered their eyebrows and plucked their eyes, no one uttered a word, and the atmosphere did not come out. He scolded for a while, really tired, he gently raised his hand and sat down sullenly. I don’t know how long it took. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:

"Lu Zheng, you didn't say a word today. What is the reason for this? Well, every time my Dakang is in danger, you will turn the tide. You can talk about it today. You can talk about my Dakang Nanfu Who is the most appropriate military governor?"
