Volume 3 Life Chapter 43 The Old Fox's Plans
Bei Jue Se stood up helplessly. Fortunately, yesterday at the family banquet, King Nanmian did not immediately agree to his request to send an envoy, and after he came back from the family banquet for fear of being resolutely refused, he has been thinking about what kind of reason he can better convince King Nanmian and let King Nanmian agree to his envoy to Daming. After thinking about the results of a night, it can come in handy today.
Coughing and clearing his throat, he briefly organized the reasons he had thought of last night in his mind, and after Bei Jue took a deep breath, he bent over to the King of Nanmian and began to say: "Father, Erchen thinks that it is most appropriate for Erchen to send tribute to Daming. Erchen grew up in Daming, worked as an errand in Daming Palace, and was familiar with the environment and palace personnel in Daming, not only that, but Erchen's mother was also the lord of Daming. The queen mother and the current Emperor Ming are cousins and brothers, in terms of generation, the son is finally the nephew of the Ming Emperor, and the son is to explain to the emperor, or there is room for discussion. Moreover, the son of the minister's external public Fengping County King and the father of the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty - the first emperor Xiaozhuang Huang had a very good relationship, even if the emperor did not sell family accounts with the son of the son of the son, the two queen mothers would not miss the old love for the son of the deceased, right? Based on the above reasons, Erchen definitely has reason to believe that he is the best candidate to send to the Ming Dynasty. ”
After Bei Juese finished speaking, he looked up at King Nanmian waiting for him to speak.
King Nanmian pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "What you said is not unreasonable. However, as your Fourth and Sixth Princes said, this is a long way to go, and there are bandits and bandits on the road, and it is not appropriate for you to take such risks as the prince of a country. ”
The King of Thailand took over and said, "What the king said is right, please think twice." ”
King Shun stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if we don't send the crown prince to envoy Daming, do we have a more suitable candidate?" The matter of sending tribute has been delayed for a long time, and if the tribute is not paid, the ministers are afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty. It is difficult for a big country to be violated, and our small country and widows cannot withstand any wind and waves. I hope the king will make a decision as soon as possible! ”
And the king should also be in harmony and say, "Let the king decide!" ”
The ministers who supported the two of them also chanted: "Please decide the king!" ”
King Nanmian had an embarrassed expression on his face.
Bei Juese saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Father doesn't have to worry about the safety of his sons. Didn't Erchen just come all the way from Daming to Nanmian safe and sound? There was not much danger along the way, and besides, Erchen's senior brother was a first-class master, and it would be safe to have him by his side. Erchen knew his father's worries, but ......" Bei Juese paused and looked at King Nanmian with a firm gaze, "Erchen, as the prince of Nanmian Country, did not stand up when Nanmian Country encountered difficulties, but only hid in the palace like a turtle with a shrunken head for his own safety, and did nothing, so that the incompetent future king of Nanmian can be recognized by the people of Nanmian?" Father, you don't want your son to become an incompetent monarch who is spurned by the people in the future, do you? As he spoke, Bei Juese couldn't help but feel a little blood boiling, and his gaze when he looked at King Nanmian changed from firm to burning expectation.
Hearing such words, King Nanmian had not had time to express his opinion, and King Shun had already taken the lead in applauding with a smile and said loudly: "It is really a blessing for us to have such a prince who understands the overall situation and takes care of the overall situation!" Your Majesty, since the crown prince has such a merciful heart for the country and the people, why not respect his decision? ”
The ministers who supported him immediately shouted in unison: "Long live the king, the prince is wise!" ”
The crowd was a little excited, and after listening to the bloody dialogue of the northern beauty, the king of Ping and the king of Tai, who opposed the prince's envoy, and their supporters, looked at the atmosphere of the scene, they couldn't say anything, so they had to stand aside and look at the king of Nanmian without saying a word, waiting for him to make a final decision.
King Nanmian raised his hand and signaled the people below to be quiet. After everyone was quiet, he looked around at everyone in the lobby, and finally turned his gaze to Bei Juese. Seeing that Bei Juese still looked at him with that kind of passionate expectant gaze, waiting for him to speak. His face changed slightly, his mouth opened and opened, but he didn't speak.
Everyone held their breath and looked at King Nanmian, waiting.
King Nanmian hesitated again and again, and finally leaned back on the back of the chair weakly, and said with difficulty: "Let the prince envoy Daming." ”
As soon as the words fell, the party that supported the prince's envoy immediately cheered: "The king is wise! ”
In this cheer, the King of Nanmian looked at Bei Jue with a complicated expression, and King Ping and King Tai shook their heads helplessly and gently; And Ruan Jinglun, who easily transferred the problem, seemed to be very satisfied with the result and smiled slightly.
After retiring from the court, only King Nam Mian on the throne and Ruan Jinglun standing under the throne were left in the empty court hall.
King Nanmian's face was full of melancholy, and he said a little weakly: "Ruan Qing's family, why did you push the prince to a dangerous place?" ”
Ruan Jinglun said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, when did the minister push His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to a dangerous place?" The minister just asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to express his thoughts. The one who insisted on sending the Ming Dynasty was His Royal Highness the Prince; It was you, the king, who agreed to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send an envoy! ”
King Nanmian was speechless for a while, and only sighed after a long time.
Ruan Jinglun straightened his face and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the envoy to Daming is a good time to train His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and let His Highness establish a solid foundation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been absent from the king's side for many years, and now the foundation of the new crown prince is unstable, the people's hearts are not oriented, and people with ulterior motives intend to shake the position of the prince of His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness the crown prince does not do anything, it may be difficult to protect the throne of the monarch in the future. ”
King Nanmian said slowly: "The king you said has also thought about it. However, in the long run, the foundation of the prince can be slowly stabilized, the hearts of the people can be won over one by one, and those with ulterior motives can also be swept away one by one. He can stay by the king's side and slowly learn the way of being a king, without asking Ying to envoy the Ming Dynasty. ”
Ruan Jinglun said: "Do you want a future heir to the throne who has nothing to do, can only hide under the shelter and do nothing? ”
King Nanmian looked at Ruan Jinglun for a while, and after a while, he rubbed his temples, closed his eyes and said, "Ruan Qing's family, this king ordered you to accompany the prince to envoy Daming to ensure the prince's safety, and there is no room for mistakes." You, go back and prepare. ”
Ruan Jinglun smiled and said, "Thank you, Wang! The ministers will do their best to live up to the king's trust! ”
Outside the hall of the court, there was a blue sunny day. Ruan Jinglun, who came out of the lobby, raised his eyes to look at the vast sky, touched the long beard on his chin, and showed an unfathomable smile. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like a fox.
