Chapter 806 Treasures of the Kings
"Your Majesty, the letter from the General has arrived." Huaien quietly walked into the bedroom and woke up the napping emperor.
The old emperor stretched out his hand and Wei Yang's letter was delivered.
"After Yang Yiqing left, I don't know if he was accepted. This person has great talents. If he uses them well, he may not be able to become a wise minister in the future. If he can use his power in a reasonable place, it will be a good thing for the dynasty." The old emperor was a little uneasy.
After opening the letter, he was very pleased with two things Wei Yang said.
Wei Yang recognized Yang Yiqing's talent and believed that such a person should be used by me.
But as for how to use it, Wei Yang doesn't care.
"I don't know what Your Majesty said about the two adopted sons, and I don't want to pay attention to them. Since they have the blood of Taizu, aren't they the same as those of the kings? They lack experience in governing the country than the kings, and I am afraid they are far inferior to King Yue and King Ning." Wei Yang replied to the old emperor's secret inquiry. This matter was not that he did not want to interfere, but that he did not want to interfere at all.
The old emperor paid a heavy price to seize the throne. After Zhu Jing, the King of Qi who stayed in the capital, Emperor Taizong adhered to the strategy of getting far and near attack when he was cutting the vassals, so he held a certain amount of military strength. The King of Qi was old and also controlled the Zongzheng Mansion. The old emperor promised that the title of King of Qi would not be cut off, and his second son was the adopted son of the emperor, who was also named Zhu Youqing.
Therefore, these two people are now the sons of the old emperor. The old emperor treats them very badly. They are neither allowed to go to Fengyang nor live in the capital. They have the fief of the King of Qi in Qingzhou and the fief of the King of Lu in the Zhongwei of the Liaodong Dusi (Liaoyang). Although the two kings have no military power and no financial power, they have no worries about food and clothing. They also have the rare guards in the emperor's personal control. They are in charge of the local and surrounding Jinyiwei hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei as the governor of the Jinyiwei. They are not very famous among the kings, but their power is not low.
But these two people have never entered the center of power, so even if they have real power, they do not have rich experience in governing the country. The old emperor asked Wei Yang if the emperor's grandson did not have time to grow up, it would be feasible to let any of these two people take over the capital. Wei Yang's answer was no.
The emperor had expected this answer.
"According to our information, the two kings have never been interested in the competition. If they were allowed to enter the capital, they might have harmed them." Huai'en said, he was too in control of the two kings.
The old emperor glanced at him with a smile, and the two of them were naturally under control. Huai'en directly grasped all the secret agents around the two of them.
"Okay, they don't want to move, and I don't care too much. It's better to let them live a prosperous and prosperous life," the old emperor asked again, "How is the King of Yue?"
"The King of Yue still only handles government affairs. Now even the Ministry of Revenue has given up some of it. It may be a transaction, or aversion to suspicion," said Huai'en, "but the Prince of Yue..."
"They have brought all the letters to the western frontier. Xiangyang is very clear about this. Forget it, let them make trouble," the old emperor ordered, "Go to pass the imperial edict, King Qi Wenjunxiu, King Lu is concerned about the country and reward them... Well, bring some palace collections to the King of Qi. King Lu, let him go to Shanhaiguan and prepare to inspect his Prince Lu's mansion. He can't be the King of Lu, but he has been staying in Dengzhou. He also needs to know who gave him a fief."
Although King Lu's fief was in the Liaodong Dusi, which belonged to the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Office, it was a place of war and he had never been there. He had been across the sea in Dengzhou. Now Wang Shouren is in Shanhaiguan and naturally wants King Lu to prepare for the vassal.
Huai'en breathed a sigh of relief. He was not worried about the two kings.
He was worried that the emperor would attack the two kings who were not harmful, which would instead cause the kings to rebound.
"However, this move is very clever," the old emperor said with a letter, "Since King Ning wants to rebel, it is probably difficult to outline. King Yue is a vassal and monitor King Ning nearby, which is a good idea."
Didn’t it mean that King Ning jumped out first?
"It is obvious that I want Jiangxi to suffer less from the war," the old emperor suddenly said with a smile, "If this guy knew the truth, I wonder if he would be so ruthless. It is unsatisfactory to deal with these people who have great intimidation to the imperial power. I have been considered to be the most righteous person to be able to retain the Ning Wang lineage."
Others don’t believe this, but Huai’en believes it.
Although the old emperor loved Concubine Lian the most and missed His Majesty the last queen, there were not many concubines in the palace. Why did he not have any more children over the years?
After ascending the throne, there was an unknown change in the palace seizure. The old emperor has never been able to have children since then. Behind this, the previous generation of Ning Wang was guilty of the crime. The old emperor was indeed very kind and righteous to be able to retain the Ning Wang lineage.
Having said that, Huaien also knew that the son of King Ning...
No!
Huai'en suddenly remembered that Princess Ning was in Xi'an Prefecture. If she came to the capital in the future...
The son of Princess Ning is also King Ning, right?
"You are wrong. That woman is just used by me to make Wei Yang understand that his son is his son, and the Crown Princess only has him a man's tool. As for what good results can be achieved, it is also an unexpected gain. How to deal with this mess in the future is their business," the old emperor smiled, "Why is Ning Wang? Of course, it is necessary for the descendants of Ning Wang to receive this matter. There is no need for Li Dai Taozhuan."
Why?
"The treasure of King Fu has appeared, and the treasure of King Zhou must not be far away." The old emperor's eyes were indifferent, "Hui'en, did King Zhao find the treasure of the former King Zhao? Did King Jin find the treasure? The treasure of King Qin is also looking for the treasure of the former King Qin and King An, did he find it?"
Huai'en understood everything in his heart. This was to find money for the future battles.
Zhu Qi, the first generation of Zhao, died in a minor age. After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he found a branch to inherit the title of King Zhao, which also inherited part of the property left by Emperor Taizu. Everyone in the world knows what kind of virtues Emperor Taizu is, and he has saved a lot of wealth for his children and grandchildren.
Not to mention the King of Jin, they were all the kings who had been in Taiyuan for many years. Emperor Taizong also investigated how much money the King of Jin was hiding, and it also left behind a precious wealth.
As for the first generation of Qin King, he had been liquidated as Prince Yiwen died, and Emperor Taizong was appointed as King of Qin. Now it seems that the purpose is to relocate the inheritance of the first generation of Qin King. In this generation of Qin King, he had another wealth he had plundered in the past two years, which was a guarantee for the use of foreign troops.
King An didn’t have much wealth. In Pingliang, rabbits didn’t make nests when passing by, but there was the throat of the westward journey to Guanzhong, and King An accumulated a lot of wealth.
Nowadays, most of the kings have been killed by generations of emperors and beaten to death, but those wealth is said to be still waiting for "destined people".
The emperor felt that he was blessed with great blessings, and no one was more blessed to bear those wealth than him.
"The King of Fu is not the most treasures. I am a little clear about this. Originally, I mean to attack King of Fu first. This man is too arrogant and plundering too carefully. Wei Yang will definitely not tolerate him. But unexpectedly, the battle between the kings has reached such a point," the old emperor looked murderous intent and sighed, "I will not be sorry that the kings have found so many flaws when I don't kill him. However, it is probably not only King Ning who is staring at King of Fu's treasure. The kings are very envious. Now it is not time to settle the score. After returning to the capital...huh."
