Chapter 684

"Half a year?"

"We need to contact the envoys in various places to strive for a tacit agreement; we need to reach an agreement with our subordinates to divide up the power; we need to create a trend in the local area to unite the hearts of the people; I thought I was ready to fight against us; maybe I have to collude with Song Guo in the Southern Dynasty... half a year, isn't it too much?"

"I see."

Chu Cai bowed his head and deduced it several times, and felt that Guo Ning's judgment was very reasonable.

Ever since he joined the Ding Navy, there have been vague rumors in the court of Zhongdu that the Ding Navy is just a collection of brutal and defeated soldiers. The target was actually Guo Ning's deputy who moved Chucai.

Because of Guo Ning's viciousness, this rumor has never been taken seriously.However, many people overestimated Yila Chucai's position in Dinghai. The first-class people were immediately disappointed.

Yicha Chucai himself is of course clear about this.

He knows that he has always been the top leader in government affairs and a participant in many important decisions, but it is always Guo Ning himself who can make decisions. Even in many cases, Guo Ning listens to many opinions from his subordinates and finally acts arbitrarily. Confined to the idea of ​​subordinates.

Even though Guo Ning came from a reckless background and didn't study much, some talents seem to be granted by heaven.In a complicated situation, Guo Ning's judgment has never been wrong.

Just like these days, Yira Chucai has been trying his best to maintain the stability of the central capital, because he believes that once something happens to the emperor, King Sui will have an excuse to go to war, which will inevitably lead to violent turmoil.Guo Ning originally agreed with this opinion, but he watched the emperor die on the tower, and came down to the city to have a new idea.

Yicha Chucai was a Confucian scholar, so he always felt that if something happened to the emperor, King Sui would be determined to take revenge.In fact, political leaders in troubled times always consider practical interests and goals.

When the emperor was alive, the goal of King Sui was to continuously stir up turmoil in the areas controlled by Zhongdu and the Ding Navy, so as to slow down the speed of the Ding Navy's enrichment and expansion.Therefore, on the other side of King Sui, he will always grab all kinds of excuses and keep making troubles for the navy.Guo Ning and Yira Chucai's control over localities and various political forces is still not firm. As long as Guo Ning maintains this delicate position, troubles will happen one after another.

Instead, the emperor's death would put an end to this trouble.

Because once the emperor died, King Sui's primary goal was no longer to cause trouble for Guo Ning.

King Sui's most urgent task is to become the emperor himself; the courtiers who follow King Sui will also be anxious to be the ministers of the dragon.

Maybe they will regard Guo Ning as the culprit, and then shout the slogan of revenge earth-shatteringly, and raise the banner of revenge to Nantianmen.But there is only one thing they can really do, and what they are eager to do is to take this opportunity to completely tear up the territory of the Dajin, stay away from the corpse of the Dajin court in the central capital, and rebuild a Nanjing Dajin court.

Then what to do is not to crusade against rebels, but to sit in rows and distribute the benefits of the new dynasty evenly.Other than that, everything else has to be postponed.

This is the inevitable truth since ancient times, and it is also the inevitable choice of a political group.

This was the case for Liu Bei’s regime in the middle of Shu during the transition from Han to Wei; this was the case for Sima Rui’s regime who fled to Jiangdong after Yongjia’s rebellion; The same is true for the structure.

Therefore, I am afraid that the change in the situation really conformed to Guo Ning's judgment, and the death of the emperor would bring stability to the Ding Navy for a period of time.

This period of time may not be very long, but it is enough to move Chucai to sit in the central capital and prepare step by step for his own follow-up steps.

Yila Chucai thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "What are we going to do in the past six months?"

"Our own military and political affairs will continue according to the original routine. Since the emperor is dead, the posthumous title should be given the posthumous title; if the new emperor should be promoted, the new emperor should be promoted. I remember that the emperor has a prince, so then Arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne. Then Wanyan Shou, Shou..."

"Wan Yan Shou Zhong."

"That's right, Wanyan Shouzhong is a sick young man who seems to be dying at any moment. But his son at the beginning of the year was called Wanyan Keng, right? After Wanyan Shouzhong ascended the throne, let him be appointed as the crown prince quickly, so as not to be in a hurry next time."

"As ordered."

"In addition, the Confucian officials of the Han Dynasty in the court should all be sensible after this experience. For those who are too deeply involved in the rebellion, let them commit suicide one by one, and select a few smart people from the rest to come forward and fight against King Sui. While arguing with each other, they wrote a few bluffing articles and sent them around, accusing King Sui of murdering his father.”

"it is good."

In response, he stabbed Chucai and said: "There is one more thing, just let those smart people do it."

"What's the matter?"

"Some things, taking advantage of reform and reform in the court, just advance a little bit, and let those who are interested understand our determination and goals. If the marshal thinks it's okay, I will send people to make people ready to elect the ruling duke or king!"

This series of arrangements, all of which are of great importance, will cause quite a stir in the court.But Guo Ning just said it casually, and Chu Cai agreed without hesitation, and went further than Guo Ning.Obviously, the light death of an emperor is not only a shock to the people of Zhongdu, but also to Yira Chucai.

Guo Ning asked: "Have you ever thought about it, Qing Qing, if I were to be called the public and the king, what title would be more appropriate?"

Yila Chucai really thought about this for a long time, and he responded:
"It's nothing more than the name of the big country in the Spring and Autumn Period. From the perspective of the foundation, use Qi; from the perspective of the center and marshal's background, use Yan; in addition, the marshal's surname is Guo, maybe Zhou can also be used?"

"It's really necessary to listen to the opinions of scholars... Let's go back and think carefully. In short, Jinqing will arrange the trivial matters first. I will let Zhao Jue come back from Juyongguan to help you, and it will be enough."

Hearing this, Chu Cai suddenly became suspicious: "Marshal, these matters are very important, don't you keep an eye on them yourself?"

"An emperor just died outside the wall. Is it important? Jinqing doesn't need to worry too much, and let's do whatever he wants. I don't like to kowtow to people at the court meeting, so I won't serve you in Zhongdu."

"Huh? Marshal, where are you going? What are your plans?" Yira Chucai was a little nervous.

"We decided that the largest source of income for the navy comes from the sea, and the fleet is even more important, and I have never treated the leaders of the sea badly. Even if they have some doubts about the reorganization, why did they rebel? Why did they come to me? Are you sent to the Marshal's Mansion to die?"

Guo Ning looked at his inner courtyard, and sneered a few times: "Jin Qing, they were so easily deceived and betrayed, either because of stupidity, or because of other reasons. This is a fatal confidant, It must not be ignored."

Yicha Chucai subconsciously said: "It's a pity that Brother Dechen was seriously injured. Marshal, he was hit in the head by a whole red gold bottle, his skull was slightly dented, and the skin, flesh and bones of his face were also severely injured. The matter at sea, I'm afraid for the time being..."

Guo Ning said murderously: "So I plan to leave Zhongdu with Ah Han, live in Zhigu Village for a few days, cut off the carrion on Ding Haijun's body for us, clean up the wounds, and check the inside of it. secret."

Yila Chucai pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine. After all, the emperor died, and the marshal is in the central capital, so it is inevitable that he will be watched by all parties. I will release the news to the outside world, saying that the marshal deeply regrets not being able to rescue the emperor again In times of crisis, I deliberately went to Zhigu Village to thank guests behind closed doors, and lived in seclusion.”

"You don't have to pretend like that..." Guo Ning said halfway, holding back the word "loyalty": "It's okay, it's all up to your arrangement."
