Chapter 082: Defending as Attacking
The soft cushions placed in the inner hall are filled with the above good silk cotton, which is soft and elastic, and even Zhao Yu, a well-informed modern person, feels very comfortable to sit on. But at this time, Ying Jieyan moved his butt from time to time, and kept squeezing his eyebrows at His Highness, completely lacking the style of 'sitting like a pine' in the past, but like an old monkey who had been burned by fire. Listening to His Royal Highness pretending to be stupid and talking to Jiang Wanzai, he obviously didn't know why, and secretly blamed himself for not rashly leading him to the mansion, but he didn't want to do this!
"Huh?! Your Highness, the old man has never told Master Jiang about this. Ying Jieyan, who was secretly complaining bitterly, listened to His Highness's words, and clearly seemed to want to direct the fire to himself, but he knew that his disciple was not an ordinary child, this was something in the words, and he wanted to find out what was wrong.
"What is it that makes Lord Jiang so unhappy?" Zhao Yu was puzzled and thought for a while, and then said, "It must be, I said that Master Jiang is fair and honest, and the most important thing is to distinguish between public and private." For the sake of our affairs, we must not go to Lord Jiang to take care of him, let him be embarrassed! ”
"His Royal Highness did say it, but the opening of the Qiongzhou Mansion is not only a matter in the palace, but a major event related to the fortunes of the country, the safety of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and Lord Jiang also praised His Highness's righteous deeds, isn't it Lord Jiang?" Ying Jieyan admitted it, and asked Jiang Wanzai rhetorically. But I secretly scolded in my heart, it was obviously this little ghost who asked me to persuade Jiang Lao'er, but now he has become a good person, and he has become a wicked person.
"Yes, it is true that the father is thinking about the country and the king, and he is not selfish. But it is disloyal to trap the king in danger and not advise. Jiang Wanzai first affirmed and denied, and said in a fierce voice.
"What the Lord said is that my concerns are not right." Strict etiquette should be given to indicate that you are taught.
"Father, I recommended you to the Queen Mother as the king's teacher, just to let you maintain His Highness's integrity, but now His Highness is in danger but does not stop it, but runs for it, which is really disappointing." Jiang Wanzai did not let him go because he strictly admitted his mistakes, it was another lesson, and it seemed that he was still angry.
"What Lord Jiang said, this king does not dare to agree." Zhao Yu listened and understood, Jiang Wanzai was angry because the old man didn't stop him from going to Qiongzhou, but you are angry and angry, you can't stop my way to survive, interjected at the moment.
"Oh, what does Your Highness have to say?" Jiang Wanzai turned his face and said in surprise.
"My lord, as a teacher, it is the responsibility of teaching the Tao and solving doubts, and he should teach his disciples to be polite, knowledgeable, and loyal, right?" Zhao Yu straightened his waist, tried his best to make himself look taller, and said with a serious expression.
"Your Highness is exactly what you said!" Jiang Wanzai nodded and said, no objection.
"What is the importance of the survival of that country and the personal gain or loss?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"Of course, the survival of the country is the most important, and there can be no people without a country." Jiang Wanzai nodded again in recognition of what His Highness said was good.
"However, this king's request to go out of Qiongzhou to protect the way of the Queen Mother and His Majesty's southern hunt, can it be a righteous act?"
"What His Highness did is really a righteous act, but ......" Jiang Wanzai had to nod yes in the face of His Highness's question again, but he suddenly realized something, and wanted to say it but was interrupted by His Highness.
"In this case, what is wrong with the gentleman teaching this king to put the country first, to be loyal to the king, and to take personal honor and disgrace lightly? Always remind this king not to forget to be loyal to the king, and revive my Great Song Dynasty and other righteous things, what is wrong with it? Furthermore, if the gentleman campaigns for the king's righteous deeds, can what he do violate his duty as a minister? Zhao Hao smiled coldly and said, "And Lord Jiang doesn't know the truth and doesn't understand the truth, so he rashly accuses Mr. of being disloyal and unjust, and this king really can't agree!" ”
"Good!" Ying Jieyan secretly screamed in his heart, and His Royal Highness not only figured out the root knot through a few words, but also reversed the passive situation in an instant. What warmed his heart was that His Royal Highness was not intimidated by the solemn momentum, and stepped on himself again, but was dedicated to maintaining it. And seeing Jiang Wanzai eating deflated, he was even happier, this old man had already reprimanded himself in his mansion, and he still wanted to persuade the prince to stop in person, but he was taught a lesson.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister is abrupt, but the old minister is favored by the emperor and has the trust of the old queen mother, so he does not dare to slack off, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness for the offense." His Royal Highness's words Jiang Wanzai really can't refute them, otherwise he would have slapped himself in the face, so he turned around and saluted Ying Jie Yan again, "Father, there were many offends in the words just now, please don't take it to heart!" ”
"It can be said that care is chaos, Lord Jiang's heart of patriotism and loyalty to the monarch can be seen in the world, this king has never doubted, and he does not dare to forget his love." Zhao Yu returned the salute, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and finally blocked Jiang Lao'er's 'offensive'. What he said just now was just sophistry, and he couldn't stand pondering, and when he talked about this matter in the house, Jiang Wanzai was not wrong at all, and the old man just didn't fulfill his responsibility to advise; And he put things at the national level, that is, Jiang Lao'er ignored it, although he was small, he wanted to contribute to the country and the king, that is, loyalty and righteousness, no one dared to argue anymore, otherwise he would be a traitorous villain.
"My lord, you and I have been friends for decades, and I am not the eyes of that woman, don't I know your heart." Ying Jie Yan also smiled and returned the salute.
"The words have come to this, the fact that His Royal Highness opened Qiongzhou is a very difficult matter, and the Queen Mother is also very protective of Her Royal Highness, and I ask Your Highness to understand, the old minister does not dare to discuss it, and it is inconvenient to say more." Jiang Wanzai took a sip of tea and said, he had already reacted at the moment, His Royal Highness was gagging himself in the name of righteousness, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only persuade him with family affection.
"What Master Jiang said is true, everyone has a love for licking calves, and besides, this king is still young, and it is even more difficult for the queen mother to agree." Zhao Hao sighed and said, but he turned to speak, and his emotions became excited, "As the saying goes: the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband. Now the Tartars have invaded, occupying our great rivers and mountains, so that the world is in chaos, from the royal family to the common people, monks, merchants, and countless heroes and heroes have gone to fight for the country. As the prince of the country, how can this king sit back and watch the country fall and the people suffer, even if he is young, he is willing to spill his blood on the battlefield, and he will not live up to his ancestors and ancestors, hundreds of millions of people, and thousands of martyrs! ”
"Your Highness...... His Royal Highness's pride was admired by the old ministers, but ......" Jiang Wanzai was also touched by Zhao Hao's fierce words, but he knew that he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and he still did not want His Highness to be in danger.
"The queen mother's love for this king does not dare to forget, this time to open the palace Qiongzhou, this king just wants to in case the situation continues to deteriorate, it is difficult to gain a foothold here, the queen mother and the royal brother also have a place to shelter from the rain, no longer have to endure the wind and rain at sea. And as long as the emperor is still there, the court is there, and the Great Song Dynasty will not die, so why should this king be sorry! Zhao Yu interrupted Jiang Wanzai's words and said loudly again.
Zhao Hao originally wanted to point to the old man Ying to persuade Jiang Wanzai to persuade him to lobby the Queen Mother for himself, but judging from the current situation, he was afraid that he would be scolded before he could say it, and he would not have a chance to say the following words, so he could only improvise. It was at this time that Jiang Wanzai wanted to persuade him with affection, and he could just use the topic to play.
"Your Royal Highness is a true lover, and the old minister ......" Jiang Wanzai praised it, but he choked up and couldn't speak. Think about His Royal Highness's desire to repay the country with death, but not forgetting family affection. And his brother died tragically, and he couldn't go to worship in person; The younger brother was dismembered by the Tartars, and he could not collect the bones for him; The body of his son who died in battle is difficult to find, and only a lonely soul is left floating on the vast sea, but he can't exceed it, and he can't help but feel sad from it, with tears in his eyes.
"There is a saying: ruthlessness may not be true how a heroic son is not a husband. Lord Jiang sacrifices his feelings and takes righteousness, and is admired by the people of the world, but he is born between heaven and earth, how can he be a ruthless thing, in the eyes of this king, he can afford the word hero, but he may not be a husband. Seeing this, Zhao Yu knew that his words had touched the sore spot in the old man's heart, and he reluctantly added a fire path.
"Big husband, real hero, old man...... The old man is worthy of the king, worthy of the country, but worthy of his family! Jiang Wanzai's face changed several times, he muttered a few words to himself, and suddenly covered his face with his sleeves and cried bitterly.
"Adult, adult......" Ying Jieyan was very stunned, and called again and again, he and Jiang Wanzai can be called close friends, and they have seen his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but I have never seen him so out of shape.
"Sir, let him cry for a while, Master Jiang, he has been depressed for too long." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said with a heavy face, he understood that his words had completely broken down Jiang Wanzai's psychological defense line that had already been eaten by grief and guilt, but he listened to the suppressed cry of the septuagenarian and looked at his trembling white beard, but he did not have the slightest joy, but felt a little more guilty and deeply uneasy.
"Your Highness, the old minister is rude!" After a while, Jiang Wanzai calmed down, wiped away the tears on his face, and forced a smile to arch his hand.
"No need to be polite!" Zhao Yu got up and refilled the tea for Jiang Wanzai, and said, at this moment, he found that he had aged a lot in a short moment, his face was sad, and his always upright waist was also ricketed, at first glance, it was no different from the village man who lost his son in the countryside, but his eyes were still resolute.
"Your Highness, old minister...... Alas, forget it! Jiang Wanzai looked up at Zhao Yu, and stopped talking.
"What the adults want to ask is Jiang Yishan's matter?" Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Wanzai's demeanor and understood in seconds, what happened just now made him a little embarrassed, but he couldn't rest assured, he immediately pointed it out.
"Exactly." Jiang Wanzai nodded and said, "My brother has passed away, Zongbao has the style of his father, strong and upright, a few days ago, he should enter the palace as a curtain, and now the peace has been fruitless, and I also ask His Highness to let go and worry about his father." ”
"You old man is such a hypocrisy!" Before Zhao Hao could answer, Ying Jieyan on the side suddenly became intimidating, pointed at Jiang Wanzai's nose and said.
"Why did Mr. say this, Lord Jiang has always been loyal, where is the hypocrisy?" Zhao Yu was also startled, he had just calmed him down, the old man was not crazy, and he wanted to ruin his own affairs, so he hurriedly stopped him......
