Chapter 120: The Conspirator (Part I)
Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, without the permission of the imperial court and without the will of Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong transferred soldiers and horses from the nine sides without authorization, and disregarded the safety of the nine sides, and the safety of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Chunchen said loudly in front of the ministers: "In such a special period, especially the critical period of encircling and suppressing the Liukou, the Duke of Dingguo will play this, and he must have other ideas in his heart!" ”
Zhu Chunchen knew very well in their hearts that the young man sitting on the dragon chair was not as simple as they saw, so when playing to Zhu Ciran, Zhu Chunchen and them chewed the words in private for a long time before finally completing such a recital and answer.
Zhu Ciran, who was sitting on the dragon chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and listened carefully to Zhu Chunchen's answer, although he said that he was very disgusted with Zhu Chunchen and them in his heart, but in the rebellion for more than a year, even if he wanted to take advantage of Zhang Weixian's death to take advantage of the situation to receive some of the power back, but in the end, he fell into Zhu Chunchen's way, so that it was he Zhu Chunchen who finally obtained the greatest benefits.
On the contrary, as an emperor, he did not get the slightest power.
Therefore, Zhu Ciran was very disgusted with Zhu Chunchen in his heart.
This painful lesson made Zhu Ciran very clear in his heart that his blatant seizure of power in this way might attract more attention from Zhu Chunchen and them, judging from the situation in front of them, if they want to gain power, they must let Zhu Chunchen relax their vigilance in their hearts.
Otherwise everything is in vain.
After all, in the current Ming Dynasty, all the power is in the hands of Zhu Chunchen and them.
In this special period of rampant partisanship, the weakness of imperial power has become the most difficult to break through the status quo, so Zhu Ciran must be patient.
Zhu Ciran narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Recently, I have occasionally felt cold, so I am a little powerless about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and I don't know much about what Chengguo Gong said, about Dingguo Gong. ”
Because of the relationship with Zhu Chunchen and them, Zhu Ciran has a deep vigilance in his heart for Zhu Chunchen's every move, although Zhu Ciran's heart is very clear about the ins and outs of this war, after all, Zhao Zongxi, the chief attendant of the Jinyi Guard, reported to Zhu Ciran in detail about the war that occurred in the Nuergan region some time ago.
Of course, this was all done at the behest of Zhao Zongwu.
Since he wants to seek this throne, Zhao Zongwu wants to make Zhu Ciran, who is on the throne at this time, dislike Zhu Chunchen from the bottom of his heart, only in this way, and only in this way, can he solve the current relatively balanced situation.
Everyone's interests are different, which makes them think about and deploy differently.
Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, what Cheng Guogong said is true, in fact, Dingguo Gong brought the victory to invite merit, as early as more than a month ago, it has been handed over, but the ministers have been thinking in their hearts, Dingguo Gong did not listen to the imperial court decrees, and led the army to fight without authorization, which had a great impact on my Ming Dynasty!" It has also had a great impact on His Majesty's prestige! ”
Broken!
If there is a way, care is chaos.
After listening to Zhang Zhiji's words, Zhu Chunchen, who was standing next to him, secretly said in his heart that it was not good, Zhang Zhiji did not say anything wrong with what he said in the first half, but only in the middle, you temporarily detain the rest of the month, this is wrong, although the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that they absolutely control the general trend of the court, but there are some things he can't say too clearly, and he still says it in front of Zhu Ciran, which is not a right thing in itself.
It's not.
Zhu Ciran, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was silent for a long time after listening to the words of Zhang Zhiji, who thought he was innocent.
In this process, Zhu Chunchen tried his best to organize the rhetoric in his mind, preparing to find a way to bring back this unexpected conversation.
But Zhu Ciran would not give him this opportunity.
Just when Zhu Chunchen wanted to speak, Zhu Ciran, who was silent, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It is equivalent to saying that the Duke of Dingguo led the army to attack Jiannu without authorization, the Duke of Chengguo, the Duke of Britain, and the Duke of Pingguo, you have known the news in a few months?" ”
Zhu Ciran's rhetorical question made Zhang Zhiji's heart shake!
I knew right away that he had said the wrong thing.
Knowing a few months ago, and knowing it recently, are completely different concepts!
Although these things are well-known in reality, on the bright side, especially in such a solemn court, it is not as simple as it seems.
Because the nature of this has changed.
"I want to ask the British duke." But Zhu Ciran finally seized this opportunity, how could he let it go easily, so here, he looked at Zhang Zhiji, who was slightly cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "This emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is I in charge, or is the British Duke doing it?" Why have I never heard of these things that the British government has just said? ”
Although Zhu Ciran's age is still young, the cruel struggle environment, the unwillingness in his heart, and Zhao Zongwu's intentional guidance make him wiser than his peers.
can be the role of the emperor, and none of them are simple existences.
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" After hearing this, especially in front of so many ministers, Zhang Zhiji, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, decided to retreat, "The minister just said the wrong thing, and the minister only learned about this matter recently, but because of the raging troubles of the rogues, the minister did not pay attention at that time." ”
There is a way that the more you explain, the more confusing it becomes.
Although saying Zhang Zhiji's words pushed away the language problem of the previous sentence very well, what he didn't expect was that this gave Zhu Ciran another opportunity to attack.
Interesting!
After listening to Zhang Zhiji's words, Zhu Ciran, who was sitting on the dragon chair, unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said to Zhang Zhiji: "Oh, it turns out that this matter was written by the Duke of Dingguo at that time, but the British Duke was worried about the suppression of the Liukou at that time, so he didn't take this matter to heart. Could it be that the slave construction forces entrenched on the border are not my Ming henchmen? ”
Because from the very beginning, Zhu Ciran was wary of Zhu Chunchen in his heart, so even if Zhu Chunchen was discussing the words, under some preconditions, Zhu Ciran would not necessarily fall into the trap.
After all, a teenager in the rebellious period is the easiest to launch a fierce resistance.
There was no chance before, but now that the opportunity is sent to the door, how could Zhu Ciran not take it?
Joke!
Zhu Chunchen glanced at Zhang Zhiji, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, and scolded secretly in his heart, because of his interjection, the situation moved towards a completely new trend, which also made the previous set, Zhu Ciran did not fall into it at all, on the contrary, he also rebelled against them!
But that's already the case, so they can't just react passively!
Therefore, after glancing at Xu Xi and suggesting that he should not speak, Zhu Chunchen stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the British Duke has absolutely no such meaning, the place where the rogue is raging is my Ming Dynasty's henchmen, and the Jiannu Koubian is also my Ming's henchmen, although the situation is different, but their nature is the same.
It's just that because Dingguo Gong is in the hands of the elite soldiers and horses of my Ming Dynasty, he is more comfortable in the matter of fighting against Jiannu, but it is the ministers, and the army sent out is almost all simple and young in the local area, in order to protect the stability of the Ming Dynasty and ensure the safety of the place, they went to the battlefield after a short training!
In this process, in order to support the front-line army to encircle and suppress the Liukou, it can be said that it is painstaking, the current Ming Dynasty's finances are really miserable, years of famine, disaster relief, so that the treasury has long been empty, but for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, even if the ministers dedicate all their family business, then everything is worth it! ”
After all, after such a long period of political struggle, this sensitivity is still necessary, otherwise how can he, Zhu Chunchen, be worthy of being the leader of the auxiliary government and the country?
If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight!
Everyone must understand this truth.
Don't say it, Zhu Chunchen's words were cleverly resolved, Zhu Ciran wanted to grasp the point tightly, making Zhu Ciran want to grasp the point of attack, like a punch into the air!
was so obviously reminded by Zhu Chunchen, even if Zhang Zhiji had a competitive relationship in their hearts, they were allies at the moment.
"What Cheng Guogong said is extremely true, and I hope that Your Majesty will learn from it!" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiji said to Zhu Ciran with very exaggerated movements.
Bad old man, bad drip!
After listening to Zhu Chunchen's words and seeing Zhang Zhiji's reaction, Zhu Ciran was very upset in his heart, and he was even more secretly scolded in his heart.
But at the same time, he also knew very well in his heart that such an ingenious opportunity was deprived by Zhu Chunchen like this, and he was not left with a chance at all.
But he didn't want to just give up.
Since Dingguo Gong has shown such strength, and since you don't want to see Dingguo Gong return, why can't I pull Dingguo Gong into the water?
Although Zhu Ciran has a slight affection for Zhao Zongwu, in front of power, everything seems so pale.
Even in front of Zhao Zongxi, Zhu Ciran has never said anything bad about Zhao Zongwu, but for the emperor, seeing different things and saying different things is their own talent.
Although Zhu Ciran did not learn from his father, he was still able to get a glimpse of the true meaning through learning from books.
Therefore, under such a premise, especially in Zhu Ciran's heart, he is very eager to seek power, and he is absolutely rich and dangerous.
Let's see if we can pull Zhao Zongwu back, so that in this increasingly turbid water, he can catch the big fish that he has been wanting for a long time?
If he succeeds, won't he make a lot of money?
