Chapter 682: War and Peace
Brother Yu repeated what she had just said to the Empress Dowager to Wang Peizhen. That's really all he knows, and what he just said is the truth, as for the next thing, I'm afraid only Sister Xin and the little emperor know.
Wang Peizhen carefully examined Brother Yu in the carriage, and saw that Brother Yu really didn't look like a lie, and Wang Peizhen also knew Brother Yu, he was the most well-behaved child, and he didn't look like a person who could do that kind of thing.
Wang Peizhen is just afraid that if Brother Yu is used, or if it is possible that Brother Yu is instructed by Wang Jingsheng.
Now Wang Jingsheng is very biased towards Wei Mingxu, Wang Peizhen can't make up his mind for a while, what extent does Wang Jingsheng's bias towards Wei Mingxu be. Will they really rebel with him?
Wang Peizhen felt that it was necessary for her to go to the house in person, so she asked.
In King Jing's mansion, the imperial doctors gave the little emperor an injection, and the little emperor's pulse was finally stabilized, and he also tried his best to feed the medicine, hoping to wake up.
The winter days were short, Lin Zhixuan saw that the sky was getting darker outside, ordered someone to prepare a meal, and ordered someone to clean up Yue Baolou and give the Empress Dowager a night's rest.
The Empress Dowager saw that Yuxuan was just a resting room, and it was very cold on all sides, and she wanted to move the little emperor with her, but the imperial doctor told Yue Baolou that the windows were tight, and he lit a charcoal basin, and he was afraid that the little emperor would not breathe well at night, so it was better to be here.
Lin Zhixuan listened, so she ordered someone to let Xijinzhai out and give it to the empress dowager and the little emperor to live, after all, Xijinzhai is an underground flue, there is no open flame, and it is a gauze window, which is very breathable.
The Empress Dowager nodded in response, but she also knew that she would not be able to sleep this night.
Wei Mingxu has returned.
Lin Zhixuan and the Empress Dowager withdrew from everyone, and Liu Xi was the only one in the house, plus an unconscious little emperor.
The situation is similar to a few years ago, but now, everyone has a lot of confidence in their hearts.
The Empress Dowager didn't ask Wei Mingxu much where this was going to go, her own son, who she knew best, must have something important.
Sure enough, Wei Mingxu took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to the Empress Dowager.
While the Empress Dowager watched, Wei Mingxu and the Empress Dowager also said succinctly and clearly together with Lin Zhixuan: "Su Yu is at the border pass and has found some evidence that Xie Wenliang colluded with Mongolia and had bad intentions. Among them, there are three letters exchanged between them, the language is very ambiguous, but there is already a joint rebellion in it. ”
Lin Zhixuan felt that something was vaguely wrong in her heart, the current little emperor was nominally the daughter of the Xie family and the son of the former emperor, and he was a member of the Xie family, and the Xie family wanted to protect the little emperor before it was too late, how could he rebel. Eighty percent of the letters in this letter are united with Mongolia, wanting to clear the monarch's side, and opposing Wei Mingxu's remarks.
The Empress Dowager knew it well, but because of the confidentiality of this matter, as Wei Mingxu said, Xie Wenliang's words were ambiguous, only saying that the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not clear and the government was unclear, but she did not specify who the ruler was, so it could be said that it was Wei Mingxu, and it could also be said that it was the political situation of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, so it was like a rebellion.
Moreover, he was a town marquis, and he had private contacts with the Mongol khans, and he was originally a collaborator.
The Empress Dowager nodded while looking at the letter, and took out a piece of letter from it, which contained a few sentences, which were quite a bit of disobedience to Wei Mingxu's rule, reflecting the regent of the dynasty. Except for this one, the rest of the letters, just a few words, are even more suspicious.
Wei Mingxu naturally thanked his mother for his carefulness, and said: "Xie Wenliang is afraid that he will not be able to keep the generation at the border pass, I plan to let the old fifteenth go over, take a few years of soldiers at the border pass, and when I get acquainted with the officers and soldiers, I will bring back the Northwest Army and reorganize it." ”
The Empress Dowager was surprised: "Could it be that Wei Yingwu really defeated Mongolia in the first place, and he didn't even need a large army on the border?"
Wei Mingxu was a little hesitant, and he had to thank Lin Zhixuan for this matter, but Wei Mingxu was afraid that the Empress Dowager would know about it, and she would get to the bottom of it and not involve Lin Zhixuan.
Wei Mingxu didn't say much, but said: "Don't worry, mother, in this matter, I have my own people in my heart, and the people I installed in Mongolia have been useful, and she alone can reach most of the Northwest Army." ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Mingxu and didn't want to say more, although she had a lot of doubts in her heart, she didn't ask her son again.
What she was worried about was: "Is the fifteenth child picking again? I think he won't be willing to be sent to Mongolia by you, he doesn't have the patience to plan slowly." ”
Wei Mingxu didn't say much, but frowned slightly. These are all later words, if this time makes a fuss, Xie Bingchu and his party will make a big fuss about the fact that the fire in Wei Mingxu's palace almost killed the little emperor today, and he can use this military report from the northwest to ridicule him, so that Xie Bingchu can't pick it up, but in this way, a court battle is indispensable.
Finally, the court has only been slightly stable for a year, the people have begun to recuperate, and their new policies have been implemented step by step for less than a year.
Moreover, there is also the Mu family, which has been silent for so many years but has an undercurrent, although the surname Lin has been changed now, it can be regarded as a show of goodwill with Wei Mingxu, but the wolf ambition in it, Wei Mingxu is not unaware, if he and Xie Bingchu have a quarrel this time, both will lose, and the Mu family will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it is not without a chance to make a comeback.
The Empress Dowager asked Wei Mingxu: "How sure are you?"
Wei Mingxu didn't say anything, it's not impossible to fight hard, but I'm afraid that if things are done, Xie Wenliang in the northwest will rise up and come to the side of Qingjun, and when the time comes, things will be even more ugly from Wendou to Weapon Fighting.
Lin Zhixuan served a cup of tea to both the Empress Dowager and Wei Mingxu.
The sky outside has darkened, today is the fifteenth festival, some rich and noble families have set off fireworks one after another, from the screen window of Xijin Zhai to look out, colorful, very beautiful.
Lin Zhixuan's mind had already turned thousands of times, and she couldn't help but persuade Wei Mingxu out loud: "The fifteenth festival is still in the year, and there has been a lot of trouble today, why not have a good year in peace." ”
Wei Mingxu glanced at Lin Zhixuan, and took the cup of chrysanthemum tea from her hand, one of them entered the fire today, and the other was also in a hurry, and his lips were a little peeling.
Lin Zhixuan looked at Wei Mingxu's slightly puzzled gaze, and she also had the courage to say her thoughts, maybe it could help the current predicament, even if it didn't work, it was to mention it and give them one more way out.
"I always think that war is better than peace. Now that these two things have happened, I think that if the Zhongyong Duke knows the handle in the hands of the prince, he will definitely be more uncomfortable than we are now. The matter of King Jing's Mansion has been laid out on the bright side, and I have to give an explanation. But the good thing is that this matter can be big or small. And Xie Wenliang's matter is ironclad, once it comes out, it will be no smaller.
I thought, instead of fighting to the death, making a mess in the court, and then letting others benefit, it is better for our two families to shake hands and make peace.
Mongolia is no longer a climate, and the affairs of the northwest, if the people in the hands of the prince are really useful, they can also contain each other with the northwest army. As long as it does not hurt the country, the prince can still control the situation, so don't rush this matter for a while.
With this handle, he shook hands with Zhongyong Gong and made peace, and even let Zhongyong Gong and his party unite with us to help us suppress this matter in Jingwangfu. Everything is big and small, just like nothing, nothing has happened......"
Lin Zhixuan's voice was not in a hurry or slow, she said it slowly and slowly, making people stop in their ears, just like this cup of chrysanthemum tea, calming their nerves and minds, and making people even lose half of their anger.
