Lord Yu is a temperamental person, and it is inevitable that he will be hindered when he does things," Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Besides, so many people have died, and they just patted their butts and left, and people like him can't do such a thing." ”

"Temperamental?" Zhu Qizhen snorted lightly in his nose, "This scholar is better than those generals, is it possible that he still has to wear linen and filial piety to make a full head and come to see me again?" ”

"The emperor said with a smile," Wang Zhen kept the smile on his face, "Lord Yu, he will enter Beijing early tomorrow morning to see the emperor." ”

"Are you so sure?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said, "It can't be the news from Dongchang, right?" Seeing that he laughed a few times and didn't answer, he realized something: "I forgot, the people who are guarding Yu Qian's side are all Jinyi Guards." Putting the fold in his hand on the table, he wanted to get up, moved away from the topic and said, "That Tartar King Sain Poloco has settled down?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Wang Zhen hurriedly bowed forward to support his elbow, "Heavy troops have been stationed around the hall where the king lives, and Dongchang and Jinyi Wei have also sent a lot of people over, so there will be no more trouble." ”

"Well, okay," Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, quietly pulled away his sleeves, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and muttered: "This northern expedition, am I a little too hasty?" Always thinking of sending a light horse over to make a fuss, although there will be no big gains, but there will be no loss, who knows......" shook his head, his expression was a little gloomy.

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhen arched his hand and said, "This northern expedition has nothing to do with victory or defeat. It mainly shows a posture of my Da Ming, the Tartar can hit me, and my Da Ming can also hit it. What's more, although our army has suffered heavy losses, the Tartars have also suffered a lot of casualties, and they have also captured a prince, and in general, I still have a slight upper hand in the Ming Dynasty......"

"Your mouth, you always change the law to coax me to be happy," Zhu Qizhen smiled, and said in a changed voice: "Sain Polo wants to see me, but he doesn't spend time but desperately stops me, the motive for this is really intriguing!" ”

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhen said: "According to the news reported by reliable sources, there is also constant discord between the various tribes of the Mobei Tartars, and although it is expensive to get rid of it, it is the sweat of the various tribes of the grassland, but the strength in the hands is limited. The one who could threaten his position was the leader of the Tart Ross Division, known as the Taishi, a man of great ambition who had been secretly accumulating strength in order to take the position of Toktobu and replace him......"

"Wow, the enemy is attacking, it is really my blessing," Zhu Qizhen said lightly, looking sideways at Wang Zhen, "I heard that this is also famous, with more than 100,000 elite cavalry in his hands, he has expeditions to various countries in the Western Regions, and recently defeated Duoyanwei, it is really incredible!" His strength has far surpassed that of Tokhtar and does not seize the throne, what is he waiting for? ”

"Waiting for the return of the hearts of the people of all tribes of the grassland," Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Since the Temujin of the Qiyan tribe unified Mobei more than two hundred years ago, there has been an unwritten rule on the grassland, that is, the descendants of non-golden families are not allowed to be called Khan. Although he has the strength first, but he has no reputation, the tribes of the steppe will not accept a tribal leader from the west as their supreme Great Khan, and there are some stronger tribes who support Tokhtarbuhua, and the time is not yet ripe for him to replace Tokhtarbuhua. ”

"Then what is the purpose of Sain Polo's request to see me?" Zhu Qizhen asked again.

"Sain Polo is Yexian's younger brother," Wang Zhen said slowly: "This person can fight habitually, and he is also leaned on as his right-hand man, and he is often replaced."

Let's do something important......"

"So, to a certain extent, he can fully represent Yexian?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and said.

"The emperor is wise," Wang Zhen bowed and said, "This person is loyal to Yexian, and he also has great trust in this younger brother, and he must have come to see the emperor for the benefit of the Ross Ministry." ”

"And what can I give him?" Zhu Qizhen frowned.

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhen smiled, "My Ming Dynasty is the Heavenly Empire, civilization is prosperous, the prestige spreads all over the world, and the surrounding states and small countries are all proud of getting the support and title of my Ming Dynasty, although he is strong, but his prestige is insufficient, if he can borrow my Ming to elevate himself, then he can be on an equal footing with the Tartar Khan court who has not spent money, and if it goes on like this, it will not be just around the corner to replace it?" ”

"Well, yes, that's the truth," Zhu Qizhen nodded, glanced at Wang Zhen and said, "I didn't expect that your Mr. Wang is quite strategic in his heart, and it is really wronged to let you be an internal official." You should go to the outer court to enter the phase. ”

"The emperor's words really killed the old slave," Wang Zhen fell to his knees, "The old slave only knows how to serve the emperor, and he doesn't understand anything else, and some nonsense can't be ......true."

"Get up, get up," Zhu Qizhen frowned on his forehead, "This is not the outer hall, you kneel at every turn, what does it look like?" ”

"Yes, yes," Wang Zhen stood up, shook the sleeves of his robe, and bowed repeatedly: "The old slave was excited for a while, and he was a little carried away. ”

"Sain Polo came to see me, and I can't rush to see him......" Zhu Qizhen muttered: "This matter should be discussed in the court, and see what your ministers have to say?" ”

"Emperor Shengming," Wang Zhen said with a smile: "Hang him first, kill his arrogance, and let that king know the majesty of my great tomorrow." ”

"What kind of prestige do I have," Zhu Qizhen sneered at himself, "Their cavalry came in when they said they would come in, and they shook around under the Jingshi City and swaggered away, it would be good if he didn't take me lightly." ”

"The emperor must not say that," Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "A momentary negligence, how can it be taken seriously, this tiger still has a nap time!" What about him Sain Polo, he was not captured alive by my loyal and brave men of the Ming Dynasty, and it sounds better to treat him as an envoy of Fanbang, but in fact, he is not a prisoner of the ranks, how can he be held up in front of the emperor? ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and his face softened a lot.

"Your Majesty......" Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "Capturing Sain Polo alive will enable our army to return to the pass safely and avoid all overturning......

Before Wang Zhen finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen interrupted: "Don't say it, I know who you are talking about?" Glancing at him, "I didn't expect you to speak for him." ”

"The old slave recommends talents for the country, and he has no two hearts, please ask the emperor to see it!" After speaking, Wang Zhen looked upright.

"Really?" Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "It's rare for Mr. Wang to be so caring, so this person's wife has nothing to do with Mr. Wang, right?" ”

Wang Zhen's body was shocked, and his face changed.

"A few months ago, the Tartar soldiers came to the city, and the hearts of the people in the capital fluctuated.

At one time, there were rumors that I had moved the idea of moving the capital, and some wealthy gentry and officials and nobles sold their properties in the capital at a low price and fled south......" Zhu Qizhen's pair of dragon eyes stared at Wang Zhen tightly, "Mr. Wang's fortune is not small!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Wang Zhen looked frightened, his knees weakened, and he bent to the ground with a "poof".

"Mr. Wang, this is the second time you have given me this gift," Zhu Qizhen had a smile on his face, "What, did you tell me right?" ”

Wang Zhen touched the ground with his head, and his whole body was like a sieve of chaff, "The old slave has served the emperor all his life, and he has never had a different heart, and he also asks the emperor to see it!" ”

"Mr. Wang's loyalty, I know it," Zhu Qizhen sighed lightly, "When I was still in the East Palace, you accompanied me, and for so many years, it really hurt you." ”

"The old slave is the emperor's liver and brain, and he will not hesitate to ......" Wang Zhen kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I just want to be by the emperor's side." His voice trembled, with a hint of crying.

"It's been twelve years since I succeeded to the throne," Zhu Qi looked at him calmly, "At the beginning, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty regarded me as young, and they often used the ancestral system and the laws of the court to suppress me, and there was also a queen mother hanging the curtain to listen to the government. Once the Empress Dowager wanted to kill you, but I begged her to save you......"

"Emperor Hongen, the old slave can't repay him even if he is broken to pieces." Wang Zhen trembled.

"Get up," Zhu Qizhen pulled him up, and seeing that his face was still as pale as earth, he slowed down his tone and said: "You are not like those ministers, you can be named a marquis, a wife and a son, and when you die, there will not even be a person to worship and worship." ”

Wang Zhen saw that there was no anger on his face, and he slowly let go of his hanging heart, and sighed: "The old slave should serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and should not be selfish." ”

"If a person is not a sage, how can he be without desires and desires?" Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "Those who abandon me and leave, how can I ask you for their sake......

"That'...... What are you, Your Majesty? Wang Zhen opened his mouth and was a little confused.

"I have always remembered Yang Muyun in my heart, and I don't need you to stand up for him," Zhu Qizhen's face sank and said: "He has saved the king and the princess, and his wife has also saved me, and I have always remembered this." This expedition is outside, even if Shen Rong doesn't say anything about the merits he has made, others will play them to me...... Do you know why I can't reuse him now? ”

"The old slave is stupid, and he doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will?" Wang Zhen lowered his head.

"Mr. Wang, but it doesn't matter, you and I are so restrained." Zhu Qizhen smiled.

"Is it because of the Queen Mother?"

“......”

"Is it because of Cheng Guogong?"

“......”

"The old slave is foolish, please make it clear to the emperor."

"It's because he's too young," Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "He was only fifteen years old, and he climbed to the position of Zhengwupin, and he was the only one among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, right?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Wang Zhen was stunned.

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, you should also know this sentence, right?" Zhu Qi looked at him calmly and said.
