"Smack!"

The teacup fell to the ground and fell apart, and the waiter standing at the door trembled in fright.

Lao Jiu sat in the imperial study, his chest rose and fell violently, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Go, please come to see me." ”

"Yes!" The chief chamberlain responded to the order, and on the one hand ordered someone to clean up the broken porcelain, and on the other hand sent someone to invite Zhang Bangli.

When Zhang Bangli came, the hall had already been cleaned, and Lao Jiu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had calmed down, at least there was no anger on his face.

However, Zhang Bangli knew that His Majesty's mood was by no means as calm as it appeared.

Daomen's demonstration of Nanyue, although it does not seem to be aimed at the national dynasty, no one dares to say whether there is any intention to show muscles to the national dynasty and knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

Moreover, Zhang Bangli knew very well that no matter whether King Ming meant this or not, the new monarch would definitely think that King Ming was demonstrating and provoking him.

As a self-reliant person who has never advocated dealing with King Ming, how can he not become the object of His Majesty's anger?

After receiving the news, he was ready to be trained.

After saluting, he stood down and was silent.

Lao Jiu's eyes above looked at him for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Chief Chief, do you know about the Daomen demonstration of Nanyue?" ”

Zhang Bangli was silent for a moment, and then said: "The minister has just learned that he is arranging for someone to investigate this matter closely. ”

Lao Jiu had no waves on his face, just nodded, and asked again: "What does the chief think of this matter?" ”

Zhang Bangli glanced up at him, thinking about what to say.

Of course, he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't dispel His Majesty's wariness of King Ming.

But he can't help it, he can't add fuel to the fire.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to say: "The old minister thinks that Daomen's move is not unfavorable to our dynasty. ”

"Oh?" The corners of Lao Jiu's mouth sneered, but he didn't have a seizure, stood up, folded his arms, walked to the window and stood still: "I don't know what the chief thinks?" ”

Zhang Bangli looked at his back, sighed secretly, and said slowly: "According to the old minister's humble opinion, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, at least after this move, the relationship between Daomen and Nanyue will become more and more tense, and at present, this is a good thing for the dynasty." ”

Lao Jiu was noncommittal and did not speak.

Zhang Bangli paused for a moment and continued: "Second, the Daomen is so powerful and attracts the attention of the world's forces, which can play a role in alleviating the huge pressure that our country and the DPRK are about to face. ”

I have to say that Zhang Bangli still sees it clearly.

In fact, this itself is not difficult to see, but Lao Jiu

Hearing Zhang Bangli say this, Lao Jiu was somewhat touched, he was not a stupid person, but he was too jealous of King Ming, no matter what King Ming did, the first thing he thought about was that King Ming came to him, and it was difficult to calm down.

Turning around, he took a few steps back and forth, and felt that what Zhang Bangli said was indeed true.

Of course, he wouldn't think that King Ming was deliberately helping him kindly, but thought that King Ming was stealing chickens and rice, but helped him.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart immediately calmed down a little, sat back in the chair, and called out to the waiter: "Sit!" ”

Zhang Bangli was slightly flustered, but he didn't expect that he could really persuade His Majesty with two sentences.

Suddenly, the stone in his heart couldn't help but loosen a little, and secretly said to himself, Xinjun is actually still wise, and he can listen to opinions, but he is still young and his heart is undecided.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Bangli was originally a little disheartened, but he rekindled in an instant, and sincerely thanked him.

Lao Jiu didn't know Zhang Bangli's thoughts, and he didn't have the heart to care about it at this time, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes kept flashing, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Zhang Bangli saw him thinking, only when the new monarch was still thinking about what he had just said, he couldn't help but continue: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we don't need to get involved in the dispute between Daomen and Nanyue, and we should take advantage of the fact that the eyes of the major forces are attracted by Daomen and Nanyue, seize the time to stabilize ourselves, and the most important thing for the current dynasty is that the dynasty can pass smoothly." ”

"Hmm!" When Lao Jiu heard this, he nodded: "What the chief said is reasonable. ”

When Zhang Bangli heard this, he was overjoyed, and was about to continue to say some suggestions, but he didn't want to, Lao Jiu suddenly said: "Chief, I am a little considerate, and I want to ask the chief staff officer or two." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Zhang Bangli's expression was straight, he had been disheartened before, and he was ready to leave the court, but now he saw that His Majesty could take the initiative to ask him again, how could he not pay attention to it.

If he can win the trust of His Majesty, of course he is reluctant to leave the dynasty, not because he is unwilling to give up his power, but because he is entrusted by the emperor, he really can't rest assured that this dynasty will not be.

"I just listened to the chief's analysis, which benefited me a lot. Now Daomen and Nanyue are doing such a thing at this time, which is indeed beneficial to the dynasty, but I feel that at this time, what we have to do is not to watch from the wall, but to plug in, maybe the harvest will be greater. Lao Jiu's eyes were very bright.

Zhang Bangli's eyelids twitched when he listened, looking at Lao Jiu's slightly excited look, his heart that had just risen up instantly became a little colder, but he had to ask with a little bitterness: "The old minister is stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty means......"

"The chief minister is right, Daomen's move will not only make the relationship with Nanyue more tense, but also attract the attention of major forces for the country. However, I feel that this is not enough, the Daomen is making a lot of noise now, but it may not really be with the Lin family. Once the first emperor mourns, even if the Daomen does not stop, the Lin family will definitely not continue to make trouble with them, and will inevitably turn their attention to our dynasty. The pressure will still be heavy. Lao Jiu said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Bangli already had a guess in his heart, and his voice was a little dry: "Then I don't know, what does Your Majesty want to do?" ”

"Kill Lu Xunyi!" Lao Jiu's eyes turned to Zhang Bangli, his eyes were shining, and his tone could not hide his excitement: "The banner of Daomen is to save Lu Xunyi, if Lu Xunyi and others die on the Lin side, they can't hand over people, this dispute will really expand, only in this way can the interests of our country and the DPRK be maximized......"

Zhang Bangli looked at the light that flashed on Xinjun's immature face, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

For a while, he was in a trance, wondering if he was wrong, and whether he shouldn't analyze the pros and cons of this matter with His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty would not have this thought.

If it was when Emperor Dingwu was in the court in the past, this kind of thought, without being mentioned by others, would immediately move this thought.

However, this time is different from the past, how can the new monarch be compared with Emperor Dingwu, he has not been able to successfully ascend the throne, let alone intervene in the general trend of the world.

Even if Lu Xunyi is killed, so that King Ming and the Lin family will have a complete quarrel, in the short term, it will indeed be beneficial to the dynasty, the king of Ming will hold the hands and feet of the Lin family, and you will be beaten to the death, and the dynasty will indeed be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and the transition will be smoother.

But so what?

After the new monarch successfully ascends the throne, can he really control the entire dynasty?

Even if King Ming fights himself, will he really be able to exterminate the Lin family?

This is absolutely impossible, it is hard to fight, King Ming is desperate, even if the Lin family suffers heavy losses, it still exists, and it will still be one of the biggest threats to the dynasty.

What should the dynasty do at that time, without King Ming to suppress the inside and outside of the court, relying on the young new monarch alone, not to mention resisting external troubles, even the powerful ministers in the court, he may not be able to suppress it.

Not to mention the great damage to the vitality of the Daomen, who will assist the army to resist the banner barbarians at that time?

Zhang Bangli sighed in his heart, he didn't say these words to Xinjun.

Even Zhang Bangli knew that before Dingwu died, he had a long talk with the new monarch and gave him a face-to-face lecture.

However, in the eyes of Xinjun, all threats are inferior to King Ming.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xunyi is in the hands of the Lin family, and he is being cared for seamlessly, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." Zhang Bangli did not directly oppose it.

"Chief, I know that you have always been unwilling for me to kill the Ming Wang brothers, but in fact, why would I want to do this? However, for the emperor should be responsible for the country and the people, how difficult the country is now, as long as it can be beneficial to the country, I am no longer willing to do it, and I must do it. The chief is the most trusted confidant of his father, and he also asks the chief to put the country first. Lao Jiu's face sank, looking at Zhang Bangli, his voice was low.

"It's not that the minister doesn't want to ......," Zhang Bangli wanted to explain.

Lao Jiu raised his hand, stared at him for a long time, and said softly: "Chief, I always believe that among the four auxiliary ministers, you are the most trusted by my father, and I also believe that you are the most powerful courtier left by my father to me, so I will hand over the most important matters to you, I know that you can do it, I hope you will not live up to the heart of the first emperor, let alone the reputation of the Zhang family for loyalty and goodness in the past dynasties." I don't want to say more, I just ask if you are still willing to serve the dynasty and me? ”

Zhang Bangli was shocked in his heart, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and only after a long time did he raise his head: "Minister, take the order!" ”

With that, he slowly got up, turned around and exited the hall, and his back was finally completely depressed.

Lao Jiu looked at his back with complicated eyes.

As he said just now, he knew that Zhang Bangli was the most important courtier he should use, however, Zhang Bangli and King Ming were too close.

If Zhang Bangli can handle this matter well, and he can completely break with King Ming, he can use him with confidence.

If it can't be done, Lao Jiu lowered his eyes.

…………

……

Daomen went down the mountain, and the eyes of the world's forces were focused on Daomen, watching their every journey nervously.

Under the order of the head of the two mountains and four gates, in the territory of Great Xia, in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the elites of the Daomen from all over the country went straight to Nanyue.

The order was issued in the morning, and by noon, the disciples of the nearest mountain sect had already made peace with the black-clothed guards of the Ming Wang's Mansion who had been prepared for a long time.

Immediately, he didn't wait at all, and directly led several mountain sect disciples to go straight to the territory of Nanyue.

After Nanyue learned about it, the Lin clan spoke angrily: "According to the joint treaty, the Lin clan has the legal right to the southern border, Lu Xunyi and others have broken the law in the southern border, even if they are disciples of the Daomen, the southern border also has the right to detain them for investigation, this is a legitimate move, if the Daomen dares to forcibly violate the border, the Lin family will be severely punished." ”
