No matter how respectful the identity is, after all, it is just a few women in the harem, and their affairs are not enough for the emperor to worry about, and when the court meeting was over, Xu Xun was directly invited to the Wenhua Palace - obviously, King Yu was still a little panicked in his heart, and always hoped that Xu Xun could be by his side to give him courage.

"There was a lot of quarrel at the court meeting." Jin Ying is the candidate to serve the king of the court, and at this time, he is also diligently explaining the situation to Xu Xun. "All kinds of things needed for the ceremony are ready, but this move to the capital is still a matter of staying, but there is no accurate number, many ministers are willing to move the capital back to Nanjing, and the two sides quarreled endlessly at the court meeting, or His Royal Highness the King of Yu was impatient to hear it, and it gradually stopped."

Xu Xun's brows couldn't help frowning - the fact that King Yu was on the throne was almost impossible to change after being recognized by the existing important ministers, and Jin Ying also mentioned just now that although the ceremony will be held tomorrow, everyone has already made a big bow to King Yu today, and King Yu is already the de facto emperor. Of course, as an emperor, his experience is still very new, and it is probably a luxury to say that there are any clever means to balance the court situation, but the most basic skills should still be there. For example, when the two sides are in dispute, as the emperor decides which side to support, which side will have an overwhelming advantage, this reason, King Yu should still understand in his heart, right?

After entering the Wenhua Hall and seeing the look of King Yu, Xu Xun also had a bottom in his heart: after all, he was less experienced and still a more impulsive age, and he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of Wara. When they arrived at the court meeting, the ministers frightened a few words, but they became scared again, and they didn't know if they could lead the crowd to resist Warat.

Just came to power, and there are few people who can do it perfectly, but it's a pity that he is ordered to be in danger and doesn't have much capital to make mistakes. Xu Xun sighed in his heart, sat behind the screen, several ministers saluted, and the Lord of the Ministry of Shangshu said, "Although there is a change in the stars, it is a lie, but at the moment there is no food, no money, no people, how can I resist Wara, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, I am afraid that the Jingshi will be broken, and the situation will be worse." ”

Jin Ying didn't finish talking along the way, and then continued to explain to Xu Xun, "Just now in the palace, the waiter said that Xu Yuanyu's astrological signs have changed, please move the capital to Nanjing, and be reprimanded by Yu Shilang." ”

Xu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly-no wonder even the always steady Lord Wang said that this was a false statement, even if he moved south, it could not be because of the change in the stars, and he just felt that King Yu and the inner court needed an excuse to move south and engage in speculation, and this person's character can be seen.

"He's from Qin Tianjian?" Xu Xun asked.

"No, Hanlin waiter." Jin Ying replied, "This person is erudite and well-informed, and he has dedicated the "Collection of Martial Arts" and talked about military and political affairs, which is quite praised. ”

Generally speaking, it is difficult to get the position of Hanlin Shi, after all, there are many opportunities to contact the emperor, and many ideas can be directly instilled into the emperor. Don't look humble, but noble, and this person has published books, and it sounds like a good reputation, which adds to his weight. Xu Xun frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of this person before—when did you dedicate the book?" ”

"It was seven years ago." Kim Young replied cautiously.

"Oh." Xu Xun smiled: This person's temperament seems to be really motivated - seven years of orthodoxy, isn't it the year of the first emperor's pro-government? The book said that the military and political strategies have always been a shortcut to the back in and out, this Xu Yuanyu is not shallow. "Since it's not a newcomer to the imperial court, why don't you know that studying astronomy privately is a big crime?"

After she came in, she must figure out what she is talking about now, and everyone is prepared for this, and they all calm down and wait for Xu Xun to keep up with the rhythm. Therefore, although her voice was not loud, the people in the palace heard it clearly, and just one sentence made everyone change color: saying that what the other party said was a false speech, and the other party was lucky, in fact, it was nothing, and it was not uncommon for the court to debate, such fierce words. The concubine came up and directly beat people into the ranks of private astronomy and ill-intentioned people, and if she seriously wanted to punish the crime, it was not impossible to go to prison. How can this make people not feel terrified?

Although the king is young and inexperienced, the concubine has watched politics for many years and has been in charge of the emperor's seal, and she was silent in the past, because after all, she was not the emperor's own mother, and she was subject to many restrictions.

Each of these old ministers has been up and down for many years before they climbed to the current position, who has not experienced the ups and downs of Emperor Zhang's death? Thinking of the looming figure of the concubine in the court over the years, they are all afraid of each other: there are some things in the future, but they can't do too much......

Her words are also equivalent to making her own position clear, and King Yu also said, "Niangniang is right, now that I think about it, this person's intentions are really hateful, but he thinks of me as something." Even if you want to move south, there is nothing to hide, to be afraid of Warat is to be afraid of Warat, is it said that the stars have changed, and people in the world will really believe it? ”

Of course, when it comes to this step, no one wants to bear the reputation of being afraid of Warat, and even if most of the crime of moving south and losing the land is indeed counted on the head of the first emperor, if the king of Yu orders the southward migration, he will not be able to pull away this shameful charge in the future. Coupled with his mother's resolute and decisive statement, King Yu's voice was stunned, and he was a little shaken, but now he is afraid that it has also dissipated, and he directly named Yu Shilang's name. "The squire knows the soldiers, and he is the most opposed to moving the capital, so you might as well speak freely and tell me your views on the situation."

Yu Shilang stepped forward, calmly gave a salute in the complicated eyes of everyone, and talked eloquently, "Now the enemy army is proud ...... for the time being."

Xu Xun listened behind the screen, in fact, Yu Shilang's approach did not have any surprising tricks, it was nothing more than to restrain the grain and grass, transfer the troops into Beijing, and call on the army and the people to stick to it. - There are very few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can do this. In the case that most people are panicked, such a confident attitude has made him naturally stand out.

It seems that the commander who should lead the crowd to resist Warat should be this person, Xu Xun thought back in his heart, and affirmed that although he was not the first to advocate the enthronement of King Yu like Lord Wang, he was also the third minister to echo it, so he settled down - although it was a bit helpless to say this, but at this juncture, if they were not ministers who firmly stood on King Yu's side, their mother and son would definitely not be able to be appointed with confidence.

As for the balance of the court or something, it will be a matter of the future, now since the emperor is already in favor of staying behind, and the ministers except for Yu Shilang, no one has a more perfect plan, so it is logical that because the adult is in charge of the overall situation, the king of Yu discussed with Xu Xun to promote him to the secretary of the military department, and his tone was hesitant when he spoke, and he was a little weak.

Xu Xun said with a smile, "This is also the proper meaning of the question, you can discuss and decide with the cabinet." If you are afraid that you will not do things well and make people laugh at what you have done wrong, you can also ask the slaves and maids of the celebrant supervisor, they also know a lot about this. ”

"Having said that, I don't have peace in my heart if I don't ask my mother." King Yu didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with asking Xu Xun about everything, "If my mother thinks that this is done, I will have confidence in my heart." ”

He hesitated slightly, and then said, "There is one more thing, I want my mother to analyze the stakes for me - at today's court meeting, in addition to the two major events of ascending the throne and resisting the enemy, the ministers are also unanimous, demanding that Wang Zhen's clan be punished and his henchmen beheaded." But I think that Wang Zhen has not been in the dynasty for a long time, even if there is a fault in this matter, most of it is on his brother...... Is the clan too cruel? ”

After all, politics is not a family affair, it is really going to kill people, and the most annoying thing about it is that it often implicates innocent relatives, but for thousands of years, the imperial court has acted like this, and there is a set of rules in it. Now that Wang Zhen's army has been defeated, he should have died, and the wealth of the Wang family has turned into flowing water, and the fall is only in the mist. But after all, he has been in the palace for less than a year, and everyone knows a lot of things, and they all figure out their intentions and flatter. To put it bluntly, there are thousands of mistakes, the most wrong is the first emperor, Wang Zhen is at most an accomplice, and the king is also very clear about the inside story of what he did, and he is somewhat forced to do so.

"Although the clan punishment is too cruel, it can't let them be safe and sound," Xu Xundao said, "There must be a family raid and exile, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people...... In my opinion, this matter should be handled in a big way. ”

King Yu's expression moved, "Niang means ......"

There is nothing to shy away from talking to King Yu, Xu Xun said directly, "Now it is said that the first emperor is dead, that is to not disturb the people's hearts, if it is rumored that the emperor was captured by Wara, things will only be more complicated, and the hesitation in the hearts of the ministers will only be more." But understand that people know in their hearts whether the first emperor died or not, you see that today and yesterday said so much, but no one said anything about the funeral of the first emperor. In case he was really captured, and he didn't commit suicide, and the Warat side wanted to return him, or let us pay for ransom, and we did all the funerals here, wouldn't the court be ridiculous and generous? It's all about the future. ”

A shadow suddenly flashed across King Yu's face, "My son understands." ”

Dealing with Wang Zhen can only be said to be a smear - or it is not appropriate to smear, it can only be said to be the first step to liquidate the actions of the first emperor, and then naturally it is necessary to belittle the political achievements of the first emperor, and then further buy the minds of the ministers and reduce the reputation of the first emperor, although this is not a top priority, but many things can now start to foreshadow. Xu Xundao, "Today, people like Xu Yuanyu will never be lacking in the court. If you do a big deal with Wang Zhen's family today, someone will dedicate a book tomorrow to talk about the mistakes of the first emperor. You can't say a lot of things clearly, but the people below will figure it out, whoever figure it out well, you will be promoted to whomever official, and others will understand the style, and they will naturally have a choice...... This is a fairly simple way of the emperor, and if you have more contact with political affairs, you will understand. ”

King Yu nodded again and again, "In this way, tomorrow I will order the royal family and party members to be confiscated and displayed to the public, and go to Dali Temple to discuss the crime." ”

Xu Xun has no knowledge of the Wang family at all, in fact, this is the first time that she has really dominated the progress of a political matter, and her will determines the outcome - just because of her words, the fate of many strangers has changed, and from then on, I am afraid that she will be displaced and fall from the clouds. She didn't feel the sweetness of power, and her heart was heavy, she just nodded silently, and she didn't have much interest in talking.

However, her words aroused another worry of King Yu, "It has been almost ten days since the incident, if someone escapes, they should also arrive in Jingshi, if my brother is not dead, he will be captured by Wara......"

If that's the case, it's time for the news to reach the capital, right?

It was also a coincidence that when the mother and son were discussing, someone outside the house had already come in to report urgently, "Governor Liuchang has something important to see." ”

The first thing Liu Zhien said when he came in was explosive news. "Your Highness, Niangniang, the slave maid just received a report from the fine merchant who was placed in the Warat army, and the news has recently circulated in the royal court's tent, saying that it is ...... Emperor Xian - said that he was the eldest son of Emperor Zhang, and he was really captured alive! Na Xizuo took a look, and there was really a young man who was about the same age as Emperor Zhang's eldest son, who was escorted to the Yexian account! ”

Xu Xun and King Yu didn't care about the entanglement with him, the two mothers and sons glanced at each other, and their faces sank: the worst happened.

Before Xu Xun could speak, King Yu had already blurted out, "This-what can I do!" What should I do if my brother comes back? ”

After all, it is changing too fast, and it seems to be a bit of an appearance, but in terms of mentality, he still hasn't changed at all, and he doesn't regard himself as an emperor at all.

Xu Xun looked at the panic on King Yu's face, sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought of the joyful expression on Emperor Zhang's face when he talked to her about his son many years ago. Over the years, she has gradually rarely thought of Emperor Zhang, but now when her memory comes back, his smiling face at that time is still vivid, as if even the sound is still lingering in her ears.

If you go forward step by step like this, even if you go to Huangquan in the future, I'm afraid you won't have the face to see him again, right? Before he died, she was sorry for him, but she didn't expect that after he died, she would continue to be sorry for him.

His heart was full of mixed tastes and unbearable sourness, but when Xu Xun spoke, his tone was categorical and unwavering.

"It's all come to this, do you still want him back?"

Her voice was cold and astringent, reaching the ears of King Yu, making him involuntarily smart, and even Liu Zhien raised his head in a little stunned, and together with King Yu, looked at the noble concubine whose face was sinking like water.

"At this point, I can't let him step into the capital." Xu Xun repeated, she looked at King Yu, and said slowly, "Zhuang'er, do you still want to be a ten-out emperor?" ”

If you still want to do it, you can't let him come back! Otherwise, with the ministers' respect for orthodoxy, even if they do not come up with any ridiculous arguments to welcome him back to the throne, the authority of the king will definitely be greatly reduced. If you still want to be a powerful monarch who is a man of his word and controls the world with one hand, let alone let him go back to the palace, even the capital can't let him take a step.

King Yu's face changed several times, and he couldn't answer Xu Xun's question for a while.
