Chapter 1542: Playing Right

Wu Zheng's eyes shrank, and then turned to Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi, "The two phases, you must have heard it?" ”

"The ministers heard me."

"Do you understand?"

"Wait for me to understand!"

"That's good, let's deal with it according to Liu Yuan's intentions...... In addition, please ask the two ministers to go to the palace again. Wu Zheng said leisurely, "Please come to the palace tonight, and wait for the couch on the mansion." ”

Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, what do you want to ......?" ”

Wu Zheng raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "What? The two prime ministers think that Lone also wants to kill the king? ”

"The ministers don't dare." Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi are beating drums in their hearts, and finally pressed this matter down, if the emperor and King Wu are opposite, and cause trouble again, how can it be good?

Furthermore, it is right for the minister to see the king, how can there be any reason to ask the king to come to see the minister?

Wu Zheng got up slowly, "Tell Your Majesty that if he doesn't come tonight, the king of tomorrow will have to enter the palace to see him." ”

Everyone understands the threat in Wu Zheng's words, if Wu Zheng enters the palace tomorrow, it is likely that he will tear his face and see red with a bayonet.

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng said to Liu Yuan: "You come with me." ”

After Wu Zheng and his entourage left, only Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi remained in the main hall.

Huang Daozhou smiled bitterly: "Brother Wanxun, what should this be?" ”

Wang Yi was silent for a while and said, "If the prince wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty, he doesn't need to be so troublesome...... General Liao has surrendered, and the left battalion is naturally in the hands of the prince, and it is difficult for His Majesty to resist with only the right battalion and the forbidden army...... Instead of looking for boredom, it is better to deal with it calmly, just do what the prince wants, Your Majesty should be able to figure this out. ”

Huang Daozhou sighed lightly and said: "Huang looks really old, I really can't figure it out, Your Majesty is fledgling, why bother to provoke King Wu, isn't it...... Hey, that's the only way to go, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven...... How?! ”

……。

"King Wu...... I was wrong. ”

Zhu Lianbi, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was cramped like a child in front of Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, if he was really a child, it would be good.

"Your Majesty is serious." Wu Zheng said calmly, "Since ancient times, there is no right or wrong for emperors...... It's only the minister's fault. ”

"No, no...... I was really wrong. Zhu Lianbi's face was frightened, making Wu Zheng wonder if he was really as domineering as Cao Apu.

Wu Zheng muttered lightly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"I ...... I don't blame me for listening to the slander of the horse thief and harming King Wu...... No, no, I just allowed Ma Jixiang to impeach King Wu...... There is no intention to harm King Wu. ”

"Nope." Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty is wrong, the fault is not here. ”

Zhu Lianbi was surprised and said: "Please also ask King Wu to give advice." ”

Wu Zheng said: "The minister said, the emperor is not right or wrong...... The emperor regarded his ministers as enemies, and he was right. Ten steps away from the imperial power, within a thousand miles...... Ministers are self-aware, and any emperor who encounters a courtier like a minister wants to get rid of him as soon as possible...... Your Majesty is wrong, and you are wrong because you don't know it. ”

Zhu Lianbi began to be surprised, and then, understood, seemed to understand.

"I remember the teachings of King Wu."

Wu Zheng was speechless, it seems that the Zhu family is really no one, but I don't know if the Yongli in the southwest border will make people's eyes light up.

"Your Majesty, do you know what is the purpose of the minister to invite His Majesty to the mansion today?" Wu Zheng had to start a new topic, and this was Wu Zheng's real purpose.

"This ...... Please also ask King Wu to speak clearly. ”

Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Lianbi for a while before he spoke: "The Yangtze River is transported from Jingjiang to Dangtu and is under the temporary jurisdiction of the General's Mansion. ”

Zhu Lianbi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly agreed: "Since King Wu wants it, I will go back to the palace to prepare the ......." ”

"Your Majesty won't think about it anymore?" Wu Zheng was a little surprised.

Zhu Lianbi looked like he was about to cry, "King Wu just wants to be transported by river, even if King Wu wants the throne, I can also be located in King Wu." ”

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty thinks that the minister wants to seize power?" ”

Zhu Lianbi hurriedly shook his head into a drum.

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Yangzhou, Huai'an, and Xuzhou are newly attached, and the people's hearts are unstable and the internal affairs are withering, and it will take at least a year and a half to stabilize...... Although our dynasty and the Qing court confronted each other across the Yellow River, Your Majesty should know that the west and south of Xuzhou are still the spheres of influence of the Qing court, and our dynasty has only recovered the coast. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng stood up and pointed to the Grand Canal and said to Zhu Lianbi: "Now the north-south trade depends on the Grand Canal, and this time the Qing court sent a delegation to Hangzhou Mansion to force the ministers to send troops to Fujian with northern ore, timber and other resources to assist the Fujian Qing army to hold on...... This time, and even more so in the future, we cannot be controlled by others. ”

At this time, Zhu Lianbi cautiously asked: "But all the grain in the north must be transported from the south to the north, why doesn't King Wu use this to contend with the Qing court?" ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said: "No, although food is also military supplies, it is also civilian materials. If grain is used to counter the north, then the north can spread rumors and tell the people in the north that the new dynasty has cut off the livelihood of the people...... In this way, the people's will will quickly reverse, adding countless obstacles to the Northern Expedition. Besides, if the northern grain is really cut off, it will not be the Manchu people who will really suffer, but the Han compatriots. ”

Zhu Lianbi nodded, "What King Wu said is very true. ”

Wu Zhengdao: "Although Jiangnan is not rich in ore, timber and other materials, but Shudi, Yunnan-Guizhou, Fujian and Guangdong can replace the north, and now the minister and the Yongli Dynasty Jin King have made an offensive and defensive alliance, and they can communicate with Yungui or not, then, compared to the land, the waterway consumption will be saved, and the minister has a sailor to escort, relatively safe." ”

"I understand what King Wu means."

Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "The minister wants to make a decision with His Majesty, although the imperial court money bank collapsed before and was integrated into the Hanming Bank, but the predecessor of the Hanming Bank, the Mojia Money Bank, the imperial court household department owned the shares, and after the integration into the Hanming Bank, it was converted into the shares of the Hanming Bank, which was nearly one percent, so no matter who controlled this route, the annual income of the Hanming Bank would not be less than that of His Majesty." ”

Zhu Lianbi was very surprised, but this was indeed the best news he had ever heard, "I ...... Thank you, King Wu. ”

Wu Zheng sighed lightly: "The minister doesn't want to repeat the nonsense of the near virtuous minister and the far villain...... But there is no doubt that Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi are loyal ministers, capable ministers, and cadres. His Majesty has not been on the throne for a year, and everything is ...... Listen to them so you don't make the mistake again. ”

Zhu Lianbi nodded again and again, praising kindness.

Wu Zheng knew very well that the seemingly well-behaved Zhu Lianbi in front of him would never change his mind because of his words now.

But as Huang Daozhou and Wang Yi admonished, this is indeed not the time to get to the bottom of the crime.
