Chapter 531 The way of being a king, the way of balance!
The carriage arrived soon.
Today's palace seems to be no different from usual. Wang Kang was completely awakened along the way. Emperor Zhao urgently summoned him late at night, and something must have happened.
The place where he summoned was still in the Chuigong Hall. In my impression, Jiang Chengli seemed to have been in the Chuigong Hall all day long, which shows his diligence...
Wang Kang was alone in the Jinru Hall, the lights were slightly dim, and Jiang Chengli reviewed the memorial after sitting alone in the dragon case.
Beside him, there was an old eunuch, who was also the eunuch in the palace, Wei Xian.
Perhaps because of the momentum, Jiang Chengli raised his head, looked at Wang Kang, and said a little embarrassedly: "Your rest day is probably about to end..."
Wang Kang asked, "Is something happened?"
"Shen Yuanchong... is leaving!"
Jiang Chengli seemed to say casually: "Or it's just running away!"
"What?"
Although his tone was calm, Wang Kang was shocked because he knew very well what Jiang Chengli meant.
In fact, he had already expected this, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden.
During the imperial examination, he discovered fraud and quickly destroyed it, forming an iron case, pointing to Shen Yuanchong.
He took out his hidden arrangements for many years and greatly damaged his power. He was forced to resign and interrogate to serve in politics...
Among them, the old nobles were also deeply hit...
All these things made Wang Kang understand that Shen Yuanchong was likely to leave.
Leave Kyoto!
This old fox has a deep sense of smell. He knew that if he stayed, he might be seized by Emperor Zhao Jiang Chengli and took the opportunity to deal with it...
Shen Yuanchong is a marquis and has his own fiefdom, Huaiyin. As long as he leaves Beijing, he will leap into the sea.
Huaiyin is located on the border of Yue and Zhao. With his constant exchanges with Yue Kingdom, his purpose is obvious, this is really a way to let the tiger go back to the mountain!
Wang Kang kept asking Qing Erniang to stare at it, but Shangjing City was not his own territory after all, and it was difficult for Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to penetrate it.
He always thought Jiang Chengli would be on guard, but he didn't expect that he would omission...
As if he knew what Wang Kang was thinking, Jiang Cheng left and said, "I underestimated him. He had already made plans for this day. There was always a substitute by his side. This substitute was the same as him, and he made mistakes..."
"I have arranged for Yuwen Nai to pursue him, but with the old fox's defense, there may be no result!"
Now, Wang Kang understood that it was too late. He shook his head and asked again: "Then you call me up late at night, because you want..."
"I want to give you a new position,"
Jiang Cheng left and said, "Let you go to Feng'an City and be the city guard!"
"What?"
Wang Kang was shocked again and asked subconsciously: "Where is Feng'ancheng?"
"In the northern border province, it is considered to be crossing the border of Zhao."
Wang Kang asked coldly: "Is it not far from Shen Yuanchong's fiefdom? "
"right!"
"You're kidding!"
Wang Kang said, "The battle between Yue and Zhao is about to break out, but what is Shen Yuanchong's attitude towards me? Don't you not know?"
"Are you asking me to guard the country's gates for you, or do you put me on the fire and roast me!"
"Are you scared?" Jiang Chengli asked.
"It has nothing to do with fear or not," Wang Kang asked back: "There are so many people in this court, why is this person me?"
"Then you can take a look at this first,"
Jiang Chengli walked out of the dragon case and handed him a piece of paper. Wang Kang unfolded it and saw a sentence written on it.
"Wang Kang, I am waiting for you in Huaiyin, so dare to come and fight me and me to a real battle!"
The signature is Shen Yuanchong!
"This was found on Shen Yuanchong's substitute,"
Jiang Cheng left and said, "I was not going to let you go, but after seeing this letter, I decided to let you go."
"You haven't been to Beijing for a long time, but you have done big things many times. The people have resisted you very much. You can avoid the limelight when you go for a while."
"Also, this is also an opportunity for you, do you understand?"
"Besides, Feng'an City is not as dangerous as you think. You are just a striker, and there will be a large army following you soon."
Seeing that Wang Kang was not speaking, Jiang Chengli said again: "Aren't you always looking for Zhang Xianxian's whereabouts? There, maybe you will find the answer!"
"you……"
Hearing this, Wang Kang looked at Jiang Chengli in disbelief, looking for Zhang Xianxian, and was always doing it secretly, even Lin Yuyan and Li Qingman beside him knew about it.
But he actually knew!
At this moment, Wang Kang became deeply afraid of Jiang Chengli...
"You should understand that from the time your father accepts my title, your Earl's Mansion of Fuyang will not be out of the matter, and you cannot..."
"I agreed!"
Wang Kang suddenly spoke.
"good!"
"I just knew that you wouldn't let me down!"
Wang Kang asked again: "How many people can you give me?"
"The recruitment of recruits has only begun, and training will take time, all..."
Wang Kang looked at him with his eyes fixed and said, "So I can't give me one soldier, right?"
"This is the case for the time being, but you don't have to worry. Feng'an City has a standing defender and a Fang family run it. You are just a striker."
Jiang Chengli said again: "If war really starts, the army will rush to help quickly."
"I see,"
Wang Kang took a deep breath and said, "Then when will I set off?"
"The faster the better. Feng'an City is old and cannot support it. You need to take charge of the overall situation."
"good."
The two agreed on some details, and Wang Kang left...
After Jiang Chengli sat in the Dragon Case again, he rubbed his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Wei Xian, do you think I did this right?"
"Is Your Majesty ready to support Wang Kang and check and balance that person?"
"You can see clearly, and I'm afraid he already knows it, otherwise he wouldn't agree,"
Jiang Chengli said in a deep voice: "This time is a chance I give him. If he can catch it, I will give him endless power."
"Everyone in the court called loyal and kind, but you don't know who is black and who is white. Some are gray and will turn white or black at any time, so you don't know who to believe,"
"Even if it exists, there is a reason. Both black and white must exist. What I can do is to balance the forces of all parties. The way to be a king is also the way to balance."
"Your Majesty,"
Wei Xian said again: "But you really won't give Wang Kang a soldier?"
"It's not that I don't give it, it's that I can't give it for the time being. I want to see what his new Fengcheng has, otherwise I will be uneasy..."
Wei Xian bowed and said, "But the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Province, Liu Zhang, is probably an uncertain factor!"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chengli snorted coldly, slammed the table and stood up.
"The only three major provinces, Weizhong Province, is subject to the court's restraint. Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, Xishan Province, has unclear position. Liu Zhang, the Marquis of the Northern Xinjiang Province, is lip service to the court, and is lip service to the court!"
"If you don't destroy it, you won't be established. If there are any gods and ghosts, I will take this opportunity to completely calm down and make clear government orders. Even if you bet on the country, you will be willing to do whatever you want!"
In the Chuigong Hall, Jiang Chengli's domineering voice echoed...
