Chapter 3 The World Talks
Zichen Hall is now gloomy.
These people in the court are accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and they have won and lost in wars with Liao, Xixia, and Jin.
It is said that a small Shuibo Liangshan, just send an officer and soldier to get nine out of ten, but who would have thought that the local government had no way to take Shuibo Liangshan, and the imperial court was unwilling to surrender to Zhao'an, and the privy envoy Tong Guan took tens of thousands of horses to conquer and defeated two formations in succession, lost his troops and abandoned his armor and returned.
I thought that it should be no problem for Gao Qiu to personally lead hundreds of thousands of troops, but who knew that he didn't get a little cheap, and he lost his soldiers.
The imperial court had no way to send an envoy to Zhao'an, who knew that the envoy who read the edict was shot dead on the spot by Liang Shanbo's grass cowards.
Hit, hit four times, can't beat; Zhao'an, Zhao'an twice, but people are unwilling. This can give these people in the court a headache.
Gao Yu said that he would send more troops and horses to attack again, but could he win this time? What should I do if I can't win again? Do you want the face of the imperial court?
But if you are worried, everyone is still clear in their hearts, and there are only these two ways to deal with the Liangshan thieves, either to crusade or to recruit peace, there is no third way to go.
You can't admit defeat and say, "You Liangshan people are amazing, you come to be the emperor?" ”
Therefore, the early dynasty had already begun for a quarter of an hour, and these people in the court were still silent one by one, except for the Taiwei Yang Jian, who asked to send the forbidden army to support Gao Yu.
Just kidding, Yang Jian's performance is because his butt decides his head, and if other people talk a lot, if the result is not good, it will become the target of public criticism. So, silence is gold now!
However, seeing that the Manchu Dynasty ministers did not speak, Emperor Daojun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was anxious:
"What's wrong? Are they all dumb? It's hard for a group of water and grass to live for the Manchu Dynasty? I thought that if I couldn't surrender, I could only attack! If Tong Guan can't win, he will let Gao Yu go, and if Gao Yu can't win, he will let Yang Jian go, and if he can't win, he will transfer the Northwest Frontier Army and let the Seed Master Dao fight, I don't believe that I can't cure this gang of grass robbers! ”
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji's words pressed the waist of the Manchu Dynasty Duke a little more, but Yang Jian, who was named, had no way to escape, lying on the ground and pouting his ass and generously stated:
"Your Majesty! The Northwest Frontier Army must not be transferred! Western Xia is eyeing the tiger, once the master Dao takes the northwest border army to Shandong, the northwest will be empty, once there is movement in Western Xia, the consequences will be unimaginable! As for the minister, although he is not feeling well now and his legs and feet are not very dexterous, he is also willing to go to the soup for His Majesty and live and die for the world! Chen Yang Jian is ready to lead troops to Shandong! ”
Sick?
Zhao Ji looked at Yang Jian, who was crying, and his heart was soft again, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay!" If your body is useless, don't hold it up, stay in the court! ”
Zhao Ji sighed helplessly: "It seems that Gao Yu can only hold on......"
"Father! Zhao Huan, the minister, is willing to share the worries of the court! ”
Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the Zichen Palace, and the ministers were stunned in disbelief, and watched Zhao Huan walk into the hall blankly, and couldn't help but look at each other one by one.
Did you hear me right? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually said that he was willing to share the worries of the court?
Is he going to take his troops to war?
The crown prince, who has always been so cowardly that he doesn't dare to fart in front of the emperor, wants to lead troops to suppress bandits? Or the bandits of Liangshan, Shandong?
I must be old and dizzy, and I am in a trance! No, you have to wake up!
So many people secretly pinched the tender meat under their armpits with their hands in their sleeves......
Ouch! Hurt! It hurts!
What the? Isn't it in a trance? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really said that he would lead troops to suppress bandits?
"Your Majesty! Never! The privy envoy Tong Guan hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The prince is the prince of the country, and he is in danger?" Besides, even Captain Gao is helpless, the prince has never been in charge of the army, this ......"
"Tong Shumi's too worried!"
Tong Guan was interrupted before he finished speaking, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Taishi Cai Jing, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned: he and Cai Jing are in the same group, how can he ......
But before Tong Guan could think about it, Cai Jing said again:
"Your Majesty! The gang of thieves in Songjiang, Shandong, deceived the world under the guise of doing the right thing for heaven; The reason why he did not accept the edict was because it was the minister who went to read the holy decree; If it is replaced by the crown prince, the thieves will not dare to make a mistake at that time, and maybe they will succeed! Besides, even if it fails to recruit security again, with the protection of the imperial army, it will not be a problem for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to retreat! And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart of benevolence and filial piety, which is the blessing of the country, why doesn't Your Majesty complete the filial piety of His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
Well?
Zhao Huan couldn't help but wonder, Cai Jing, the old fox, didn't sing against him today, it was really the sun coming out in the west!
But when he turned around, he happened to see Zhao Kai, the third child who was listening, and he immediately realized in his heart that he couldn't retreat if he wanted to.
Zhao Huan has more than a dozen brothers, the second died early, and the third Zhao Kai is second only to Zhao Huan in terms of age, and he is actually the same age as Zhao Huan.
Zhao Kai, like Song Huizong, is a person who has achieved success in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is deeply favored by Emperor Daojun. Two years ago, he secretly participated in the imperial examination in the first year of Chonghe, because of his extraordinary literary color, he was invincible all the way, and entered the palace examination of the last level of the imperial examination, played well, and won the first place, so he became famous throughout the country.
Of course, in the end, Zhao Ji was afraid of being gossiped by the world, so he deliberately named the second Wang Ang as the champion, but in fact the champion was still Zhao Kai.
And then Zhao Ji named Zhao Kai as the envoy of Jingnan and Ningjiang Military Festival, Jiangling, Kuizhou Mu, and also entered the king of Yun, and his favor for Zhao Kai can be said to have reached its peak.
So from then on, Zhao Ji set an unspoken rule: the crown prince can not come in the morning, but Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, must come to study politics!
What do you mean?
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Emperor Daojun preferred Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and the crown prince, who had always been famous for his nests, would be deposed sooner or later!
This also leads to the fact that Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and others, who have the highest status in the court, are relatively close to Zhao Kai, and the eunuch Tong Guan is more neutral.
Now that Zhao Kai is flirting with Cai Jing, Zhao Huan, who has the "Divine Eye", immediately understands their treacherous plan: to kill people with a knife to get rid of themselves and let Zhao Kai take the throne!
And Zhao Huan is almost sure that the unsympathetic Zhao Ji will definitely agree!
Sure enough, after Zhao Huan understood what Cai Jing meant, Yang Jian, Tong Guan and others also understood, and Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji also immediately understood.
"What Aiqing said is very true! As a royal son, he should have shared the worries of the court; If there is a king in political affairs and a prince in military affairs in the future, it will definitely become a beautiful talk in the world! Spread my will: The crown prince will personally lead the troops to quell the rebellion of the Liangshan bandits, let Gao Yu come back, don't be embarrassed in Shandong! ”
