Chapter 544 Zhao Tingmei's idea
Zhao Tingmei took a sip of tea and interrupted Zhao Dezhao with a smile. Suddenly, she realized that the action was special, Zhao Tingmei smiled quite playfully.
"Uncle San?"
"I never could do what my second brother could do back then. First, I can't do it again. Without the skills of my second brother, my second brother had no prestige. I just rely on a mere Kaifeng prefecture to connect inside and outside, connecting civil and military affairs. Even a person like Zhao Pu couldn't do it. This is his ability, but I am not that piece of material. Second, the eldest brother of the past trusted me wholeheartedly and had no doubts at all. No matter whether he believed it wrong or not, you would never be able to do it."
"Uncle San, I..."
"Okay, this is our uncle and nephew. In terms of scheming, I may not be as good as you now, but after all, I have been playing with the Sun family and my son for so many years. In terms of vision, I am still quite confident. I can be annoyed if I talk too much nonsense. Think about it, you say that your prestige is insufficient, which is compared to the eldest brother, but is the second brother's prestige enough compared to the eldest brother? If you don't have enough prestige, just get it together."
Zhao Dezhao immediately felt enlightened when he heard this, "What method? Uncle San, do you have any solutions? You must teach me."
Zhao Tingmei smiled and said, "Actually, the situation is far from as serious as you said. It is just a powerful minister. Which dynasty and which generation has it? How many powerful ministers are there who truly usurped the country?"
"One time, another time, since the end of the Tang Dynasty..."
"I know that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor changed like a lantern, so the officials and the people even changed their inertia. They always felt that if anyone had a little more power, they would definitely usurp the throne. Just think about it yourself, who were the powerful ministers in the past sixty years? They were all the generals who held military power and had prestige at the same time. What about now? Are you referring to the powerful ministers Yue Ge'er or Uncle Chunming?"
"What's the difference between them, father and son?"
"The difference is big. What do you think the elder brother has made so many reforms in his ten years in power? Why did he get rid of the imperial guards at such a great price to transform the new army in the city? Gone are the days when the arrogant soldiers are expelled from the commander. The soldiers are not loyal to a general, nor even to a king. Although Brother Yue seems to be quite arrogant, if he really wants to wear a yellow robe, no one will follow him to make trouble. The Sun family's father and son are powerful ministers, there is no doubt that they will be powerful ministers who rebel? To be honest, it is too early to say that now, they do not have the strength. You actually have a chance, and it is very big.
The key to this matter is to say a thousand words and ten thousand, in fact, Sun Yue must return to Beijing first. I have an idea. My elder brother once said that the king of Yan Yun will be regained. After the battle is over, he can be appointed as the king of a different surname, and transferred back to Beijing to raise it openly and secretly. If he really has no intention, it would be good to be Guo Ziyi in the future. If there is, it would be better than the father and son working together now, so that you can be afraid of the mouse."
"The lesson of Uncle San is that after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized. But I don't know when this battle will be finished. No one knows better about Sun Yue's methods than Uncle San. The things that the father and son have to do will not be able to see through if they don't take the chess to the last step."
"Tsk, that's right, you don't know the situation in the north at all? You point to Sun Yue to report to you? That Cao Can is not reliable? You emperor is really... Haha, send a military supervisor to you. At least you can't let Sun Yue replace the army with his own family. After the war, you can ensure that the army can be disbanded normally and return to their own houses. If you send some reinforcements, you can no longer send the new army in Beijing. Wang Chao, the governor of Jianxiongjun, and Zhang Duo, the governor of the National Guarding Army. These are all common people who have a close relationship with me on weekdays. After the war, the people will go home, and Sun Yue can't control them."
"This is OK, but who will be the supervisor?"
"I have a candidate who must be loyal to you and there is no problem with ability. Even Sun Yue has to give this person three points of face, but I don't know if you dare to use it."
"who?"
"Brother's confidant eunuch, Wang Ji'en."
"ah?"
Zhao Dezhao looked confused. The name was really too unexpected to him. He had never thought about it before.
"You don't have to doubt his ability. After all, after being with my elder brother for so long, I still understand the simple military strategy. Even Sun Yue praised me for being awesome a few years ago. Besides, the military supervisor didn't have to be too big. The key is reliability, right? This person is a eunuch and a slave to our Zhao family. Anyone in the world may defect to Sun Yue, but he is not the only one. Besides, he is the elder brother's servant and has been kind to the Sun family's father and son. Sun Yue will at least not make things difficult for him."
"This... I understand. Uncle San is advising me to use eunuchs with respect. Haha, since he attacked Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, there has never been a real eunuch with real power in the past fifty years. Once this example is launched, I am afraid that many people will scold me for being a fool."
"If you want to have a good reputation, just give all the military and national power to Sun Chunming. Why do you have to ask me? When Wang Ji'en comes back, you might as well set up an inner government office outside the two governments, and he will take the lead. Leave the power struggle to him. Isn't it just right? Even if you can suppress the powerful ministers, you won't be able to kill them. If you kill them, you won't be able to hurt you."
"Why must Wang Ji'en be used? I also have caring eunuchs around me."
Zhao Tingmei looked at him with a fool's expression and said, "First, they do not have the ability and face of Wang Ji'en. Second, the people of the world and the civil and military officials of the court, including the Sun family, are all loyal to my elder brother. Although you are a living king, you may not have the reputation of your elder brother. With my understanding of Sun Yue, if you dare to use your own eunuch to deal with his father, he will dare to let your eunuch die without knowing it. Therefore, you can only use Wang Ji'en for this matter."
Zhao Dezhao smiled awkwardly, and felt a little reluctant. This clearly means that the emperor, as a emperor, is not as good as his father's death. After all, he is an adult, and it is inevitable that he will hurt his self-esteem a little.
Zhao Tingmei ignored his facial expressions. He had finished everything he wanted to say, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He rubbed his dizzy head and said goodbye to Zhao Dezhao in a neat way and went back to his house to sleep.
When he went back to the house, Kou Zhun was still talking to his wife, and couldn't help but smile and said, "You little Kou, you are really becoming more and more arrogant. You dare to go into my bedroom without complaining. I think you are clearly spoiled by me."
Kou Zhun made an exaggeration: "Your Highness, you don't bring such an unjust accusation. It was obviously the princess who insisted on pulling me and asking Wang Shuai about marrying his daughter."
