Chapter 125: Yang Pu's Death

For the people of any age. War always brings suffering.

No matter how politician or careerist is, there are a thousand and ten thousand reasons to go to war, but for the people, there is only one life for one person, and only a few lives for a family.

There can be no more, and people cannot be resurrected from the dead.

Zhu Qizhen is still a little too far away from the people.

He may have thought deep enough in terms of strategy. He has his reasons, but if you put your heart on ordinary people, you can definitely not fight, and you will not fight.

Even if it is victorious, there are all kinds of benefits, but how much can really fall on the people? But when it's the turn to give, it's the people at the bottom who pay for their flesh and blood.

Cao Nai's understanding of this model is very clear. Because Cao Nai's hometown was also one of the areas where the Northern Expedition recruited people. There are too many people who have never returned, and some of them have not even been able to bring back the news of their deaths.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream.

This is not an exaggeration, but a realistic approach.

As a native of Hebei, Cao Nai's last thing to do is the people of Hebei.

Because the people of the nine borders are accustomed to war, and that is, the people of Hebei, Shanxi and other places, in peacetime, are quite peaceful. But as soon as the war began, many of the laborers were not able to go to the south.

Yang Pu looked at Cao Nai.

He was actually not too satisfied with Cao Nai.

But there is no way to do it, and the successor of the first assistant to the cabinet is by no means something that Yang Pu can determine.

If Yang Pu even accepted the position of the first assistant of the cabinet privately, Zhu Qizhen would definitely not be able to bear it. Cao Nai is Yang Shiqi's team, and it is a compromise between Zhu Qizhen and the civilian official group.

At this point, Cao Nai's position must not be moved.

Yang Pu knew that he couldn't replace Cao Nai, so he tried to pull Cao Nai into his camp.

There was blood spilling between the corners of Yang Pu's mouth. The voice was also vague, as if every word he said would bring a great burden to his body, Yang Pu tried to stabilize his breath, and said: "I'm old, this position of assistant will be yours sooner or later." You are a student of Dongli Gong, and there are some things that I don't need to say, and you know what to do. ”

"In the future, the important task of this court will be handed over to you."

"Your Majesty must not be allowed to repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taizong."

There is no need for a hammer to ring the drum, Cao Nai, as a talent carefully cultivated by Yang Shiqi, is absolutely excellent in political literacy. He naturally understood the meaning of what Yang Pu said.

Eleven years after orthodoxy, Cao Nai already felt something, because Yang Pu had already transferred many affairs to Cao Nai.

Cao Nai's feeling is feeling. But he secretly suppressed all his actions and acted as if he didn't know anything.

Many things, the more they come to an end, the more variable they become. Therefore, Cao Nai's movement is better than being still, and finally waited for today, the cabinet

The position of Shousuke is right in front of you. Cao Nai's mood has not fluctuated much, and it seems to be more focused on Yang Pu's condition. said: "Why did Shoufu say this, and today is indispensable Shoufu, I am soft-spoken, and I advise Your Majesty on the matter, or Shoufu is an old and important minister like Shoufu." ”

"Patriarch?" Yang Pu said with a wry smile in his words: "I'm afraid, our majesty, the most hated is the old minister." ”

I don't know if this sentence touched Yang Pu's mind.

Yang Pu immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled his clothes.

Zhu Qizhen was thinking silently in the palace, and then when he asked Yang Pu to step down, he didn't want to send news that Yang Pu vomited blood after returning home.

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback and said, "Has the Imperial Doctor ever been there?" ”

"It's gone." Fan Hong said.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Send an order to the Tai Hospital, at all costs, you must cure the first assistant." ”

"Yes." Fan Hong immediately agreed.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't sit still anymore, and couldn't stop wandering when he got up.

To be honest, when Zhu Qi was extremely angry, he may not have thought about letting Yang Pu die, but once he regained his senses, he did not hesitate to press this idea.

Without him, if the Ming Dynasty can't be tolerant of conscientious ministers like Yang Pu, how can the people of the world work hard for the court in the future.

Sanyang, who stabilized the dynasty at the beginning, Yang Rong died of illness first, and Yang Shiqi also died of illness at home, only now Yang Pu is gone.

Even if he didn't care about Yang Pu's merits in the Zhengtong Dynasty, just saying that his merits in the three dynasties of Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong, Zhu Qizhen decided to give Yang Pu a very sad death. Glory in life, great name after death.

This has nothing to do with Yang Pu's own political views.

It is purely a funeral for the living.

Therefore, even if Zhu Qizhen thinks about it now, he just wants Yang Pu to retreat. Didn't want to do anything with Yang Pu? After all, to punish Yang Pu, Zhu Qizhen is certainly happy.

But for the old ministers who have worked hard for decades for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen can't be tolerant, although Yang Pu is not guaranteed in the evening, but can Zhu Qizhen have any good reputation?

It's almost a two-way defeat.

Yang Pu was seriously ill at the moment, but he suddenly solved Zhu Qizhen's problem.

It's just that when he thought of it, Yang Pu probably had the heart of death, and Zhu Qizhen's heart was full of feelings.

In fact, he has always wanted to convince Yang Pu that if Yang Pu can agree to fight with the tile thorns, and hand over the logistics affairs to Yang Pu in the future, Zhu Qizhen will be much more relieved.

After all, Yang Pu was a person who had experienced Taizong's Northern Expedition and knew how this logistics was organized.

But now, the difference between him and Yang Pu on this matter can no longer be bridged.

Before, Zhu Qizhen said that it was a big battle with the tile spur, but it was mostly verbal, but now as the situation is approaching step by step, the big war is approaching little by little.

It's time for the dagger to come to an end.

This question

It is already on the agenda of the imperial court, and no one can avoid it.

Zhu Qizhen may not want to cause an uproar in the imperial court, and the civil officials may not want to have a hard top with the emperor. There is a price to be paid for a hard cap with the emperor.

It's just that everyone has their own persistence that they can't back from.

It is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to give up the general strategy of fighting with the tile spur, and Yang Pu is also unwilling, so that the people of the world will be reduced to the situation of Yongle again, the people will not have a good life, and even Shandong will rebel.

Politics is, of course, the art of compromise. But it would be a mistake to think that the essence of politics is compromise. At the end of the words is the sword.

"The timing of my husband's illness is excellent." Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "I don't have to fight in the imperial court." ”

"Your Majesty, the Tai Hospital is coming to report, and the Imperial Doctor Lou asks His Majesty to visit Yang Mansion." Fan Hong said.;

Zhu Qizhen, who had just calmed down, was shocked by this sentence and said, "How can this be? Didn't you just get sick today? ”

As mentioned above, the emperor cannot visit the minister casually, and there is only one situation in which the emperor can visit the minister, that is, the minister has reached the point of death, and he can no longer get better. The emperor was able to visit before he died.

It has only been a few hours, and Yang Pu's illness has developed like this.

Fan Hong said: "Doctor Lou said that Shoufu has been sick for some time, and he has been pressing it with the medicine of the tiger and wolf, but now it can't be suppressed, and it is like fire and water, I'm afraid it will be between the past two days." ”

Zhu Qizhen's lips trembled slightly, and he said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”

"Your Majesty," Fan Hong said, "At this hour, the palace gate has been locked. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then open the lock, why can't I open it myself." ”

Fan Hong didn't dare to say anything, and said, "The slave understands. ”

Although under normal circumstances, after the palace gate is locked, it has always been unlocked until dawn. Even if there is an urgent military situation, it can only be handed through the crack in the door.

The palace is strictly forbidden, and it is never an empty word.

But Zhu Qizhen spoke, and all the rules are not rules.

Zhu Qizhen left the palace overnight, Yang Pu's house was not far from the palace, and the house where Yang Pu lived was a house. Zhu Qizhen went out of the palace and turned a few streets to arrive.

It's just that before Zhu Qizhen arrived at Yang's house, he heard bursts of crying that shook the sky. White cloths hung on the door of Yang's house.

Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly emptied.

Seeing this, how could he not know that Yang Pu, the old minister, was no longer there.

The last fierce conflict in the palace turned out to be the last impression they left on each other. Thinking about Yang Pu in the past few years, he has been conscientious, coordinating up and down, and letting hundreds of officials perform their own positions, and it seems that it is not Yang Pu who does specific things, but without Yang Pu to unify everything, Zhou Chen is not so easy to do things.

Thinking of these, Zhu Qizhen felt a deep sense of remorse.
