Chapter 062: Problem Solving
Liu Huang was urgently summoned to the palace today to participate in the court meeting, and heard that the Queen Mother approved the peace proposal, and King Wei was also willing to pledge Mongolia for Sheji. He knew that King Wei had always been 'benevolent and righteous', so his first reaction was that after learning about the suffering of the Queen Mother and the difficulties of the imperial court, he resolutely decided to pledge Mongolia and go to the trouble for the country. Liu Huang was shocked when he heard this, he was like sitting on pins and needles, and in the subsequent court discussion, he changed his previous 'moderation' attitude and vigorously opposed the peace proposal, but under Chen Yizhong's strong suppression, he was finally unable to return to the sky.
The matter of peace negotiations could not be reversed, and Liu Huang understood that King Wei's pledge would also be a foregone conclusion, so he couldn't help but be worried. He never contacted King Wei after getting off the plague ship, but it does not mean that he has forgotten His Highness's life-saving grace and the friendship he has formed with half a teacher, especially his unusual maturity and wisdom also make him firmly believe that as long as time and experience are given, His Highness will definitely become the backbone of the revival of the Great Song Dynasty and the pillar of the country. And he also knows the truth that 'being alone in the forest wind will destroy it', and his frequent contact with it will inevitably attract the attention of others, so he deliberately avoids it.
But Liu Huang's kindness Zhao Hao did not appreciate it, not only high-profile memorials, but also many Quanzhou volunteers into the house, making it known to passers-by, so that the Queen Mother summoned him into the palace to ask King Wei what to do, he could only explain with great effort that His Royal Highness was benevolent and soft-hearted, and he couldn't bear to watch the volunteers who had lived and died with him live without a life to treat them so well, and the volunteers would definitely feel that their virtues were more loyal to the court, which helped Zhao Hao cover up the past.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao's tossed things out became bigger and bigger, and his performance was very different from the past, which caused many courtiers to ask him in private, and Liu Huang could only say that those people who were taken in by King Wei acted indiscriminately in order to please the prince. Later, His Royal Highness 'vainly' talked about the government at the court meeting, so that Jiang Wanzai also came to ask, and he had no choice but to half-truths and half-truths perfunctory, only saying that His Royal Highness was smart and talented, and told the story of the two playing on the boat.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanzai actually took Ying Jieyan to Weiwang's Mansion to find out, and then came to ask questions. Liu Huang saw that His Royal Highness had leaked the bottom, so he could only tell the story of His Royal Highness's medicine on the ship to save people and use the wind to destroy the enemy. But he still strictly adhered to the agreement on the ship, and did not say a word about the encounter with immortals in His Highness's dream. When he learned that His Royal Highness actually took the initiative to pledge Mongolia in order to reach a peace agreement this time, Liu Huang could no longer sit still, and after dispersing the court, he found Jiang Wanzai and asked him to try to stop it.
Jiang Wanzai is the actual controller behind the scenes of the imperial court, but he also has a lot of scruples about doing things, if he frequently goes in and out of the Wei Wang's Mansion, he will definitely arouse everyone's suspicion, especially in this sensitive period. Previously, after a long sigh with King Wei, he felt that he didn't look like a 'stupid' person who threw himself into the net, so he suspected that Zhao Hao had other plans, and acting rashly might disrupt his deployment. And Pan Heng's strictness in his mansion had already been given, and walking around would not arouse suspicion, so he and Liu Huang first went to find out why King Xia Wei was suddenly like this......
Now that the words have come to this, Liu Huang and Ying Jieyan have understood Zhao Yu's intention to decide to pledge Mongolia, and he wants to take this opportunity to open a government and form an army alone. His trick is clever and clever, but it is really a risky move, and a slight change in the middle may lead to chickens flying and eggs fighting. However, the two of them felt that whether the matter was successful or not should be put aside, and their courage alone had to be admirable, and their reasonable analysis made the two even more embarrassed, especially since the plan came from the mouth of a child.
"Your Highness's desire to open a mansion and set up a government office is not just for fun, there should be a plan?" Ying Jieyan wanted to know where the prince's self-confidence came from, but was interrupted by Liu Di's promise, although he felt strange, but it was not good to ask again, so he turned to Zhao Yu to find out.
"Of course, this king is not for fun, but wants to follow the example of Wen Xiang and leave the court, supervise the place, and resist the Yuan and the Song Dynasty." Zhao Yu said with a hint of anger in his words, obviously dissatisfied with Yan Jie's words. However, he also has a bottom in his heart at the moment, the two of them seem to be menacing when they come, but in fact, there is no malice, but it is a manifestation of concern and chaos, and he can act according to the plan.
"I have lost my word, and Your Highness has atoned for your sins." Ying Jieyan's face flushed, and he hurriedly saluted, but this also reminded him that although he admired His Highness's wit in the past, he ignored that he was not an ordinary child, and what he said just now was indeed abrupt.
"Why did Your Highness leave the Imperial Court?" Liu Huang was in a hurry, a prince wanted to leave the court and set up another mountain, how could it not make people suspicious, although he was just a child.
"Zhuge Kongming, the minister of Shu at the end of the Han Dynasty, once said: On the temple, rotten wood is an official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu. As a result, the wolf-hearted and dog-lunged people were in power, and the servants and servants were in charge one after another, so that the community became a mound and ruins, and the common people suffered a lot. How similar is this statement to today, the ruler does not think about how to restore the country, but blindly seeks peace, and does not hesitate to bend the knee to call him a minister, called his son and nephew, but he has ever considered the dignity of His Majesty; Those who govern the local area do not think about the grace of the country and the king, and the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, and the enemy army will flee before it arrives, and even betray the lord to seek glory; They only know how to ask for tens of thousands of people to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they do not ask about their hunger and cold, and they do not show compassion, so that the people's livelihood is poor! ”
This king's move is also helpless. Although the temple is large, where is there a place for loyal ministers and righteous people. This king is sorry for the ancestors and ancestors who founded the country, and he is sorry for the people of Li, so what face does he have to stand above the court? Why don't you leave the imperial court to find a place for Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to live and revive the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. "Zhao Yu knew that his identity was sensitive, and the Great Song Dynasty had a tradition of strictly controlling the clan in order to prevent the rebellion of the king, in this special period when there was a gun and the king of grass, if he opened a government and wanted to stay away from the court without a legitimate reason, he would be suspected of setting up another central government. Therefore, it can only be said that it is righteous and awe-inspiring, in order to win their support.
"I see." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, the hall fell silent, the two didn't expect His Highness to think so far, which formed a huge contrast with his age, how not to be shocked, "That day, His Highness already had a plan, but in the end, the old man couldn't get a glimpse of the mystery, it was really shameful." After a while, Ying Jie Yancai sighed and said with a depressed face, he was lifted in the middle of the year when he drooped, and then became a civil and military double jinshi, and he became famous in the government and the opposition in the year of the weak crown.
"Lord Ying, what else happened to the game that day?" Liu Di had seen His Royal Highness's 'magic' on the ship, and naturally had immunity, and he did not lose his temper like Ying Jieyan, seeing his lost soul, thinking that there must be a story in it, he asked.
"Alas, that day, His Royal Highness and Lord Jiang played against each other, at the beginning, His Highness was full of forces and was in an embarrassment, but in the end, he reversed the situation with the strategy of sacrificing his son to survive, forcing Lord Jiang to abandon the plate and surrender. And today's events coincide with the chess game of that day, His Royal Highness is obviously sacrificing himself to pledge Mongolia, but in fact, he wants to take advantage of the situation to plot to open the government, and then achieve the purpose of supervising the place. It's a pity that he was old and stupid, and he couldn't understand the meaning of His Royal Highness, and he hurried over to the house to ask what was going on, ashamed, ashamed! Ying Jieyan smiled bitterly at himself.
"Oh, there's a reason for this......" Liu Di heard that something seemed to appear in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while and fell into hard thought.
Zhao Yu took a sip of herbal tea from his cup, looked at the two people in front of him, and his self-confidence was hit, like a chicken with a plague, hanging his head and sighing. The other frowned and meditated, his lips trembling, not knowing what he was pondering. And he seems to be calm, and his heart is also up and down, in fact, he doesn't know what the consequences will be if he tells the two of them about his plan, but if he doesn't say it, he can't find out their attitude, and without their support, his follow-up plan will be difficult to implement.
"Since Your Highness has decided to open the mansion, you will get your wish. But supervising the place is a major matter, after all, His Royal Highness is young, how can the Queen Mother rest assured, and how can the courtiers support it. What does His Highness plan to let the old man know? After being silent for a while, Ying Jieyan asked.
Although Ying Jieyan has already learned the wisdom of His Royal Highness, if he can open the mansion, he has already won in danger, and His Royal Highness will gamble with his life. Compared with the next step, it is quite dangerous, because by a young prince who is handsome out of the town, there is only one emperor Gaozong in the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, but he is already an adult. If this matter is changed, he can't think of any good way to break the game, and he also understands that a chess master is to take one step and see ten moves, and he will not have a backhand. The more this is the case, the more he wants to figure out His Highness's next plan, but he doesn't understand that it is actually his own conceit that is causing trouble, or he is not convinced that a child is actually smarter than himself.
"Since you want to know, why not, this king is trying to ask for advice." Zhao Yu said very simply, he is not afraid to ask, he is afraid not to ask, otherwise he doesn't know how to implement his next plan!
"Your Highness is modest, and the old man is ashamed." Peeping into people's secrets is a taboo for officials, and this matter involves the life and death of the palace, Ying Jieyan didn't expect His Royal Highness to tell him, but he couldn't bear it or asked. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness told him bluntly, so he felt ashamed to treat people with the heart of a villain, and the little arrogant frame of a scholar on his body was a little unbearable.
"My lord thinks that the peace talks with Mongolia have been fruitless, what will the court do next?" Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked first.
"I'm afraid that it will be like a frightened bird, and withdraw from Chaozhou as soon as possible." Ying Jie thought for a moment.
"This king also thinks so, where do you think the court will retreat?" Zhao Yu nodded in agreement and asked again.
"The two Guangzhous are lost again, the land Tartars are raging, it is difficult to have a foothold, I want to go to the sea again, and then find another place to stay, but I can't think of any suitable place for a while."
"Well, what do you think Chen Xiang suggests?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"Occupy the city." Liu Huang, who had been pondering, suddenly interjected.
"Why is Sheng Bo so sure, could it be that he has a plan with Chen Xiang in advance?" Seeing that he had answered so simply, Ying Jieyan asked vigilantly......
