Emperor Jianwen didn't answer, but looked at the other ministers and said, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Hubu Shangshu replied: "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate, Lin Wensheng is already extraordinarily generous to be appointed as a child, and if he is appointed prime minister again, won't this imperial examination become a joke?" ”

The ministers also expressed their disapproval, and even asked Emperor Jianwen to think twice.

Emperor Jianwen ignored it, looked at Chu Tianjue and said, "Jue'er, what do you think?" ”

Chu Tianjue said respectfully: "My father's choice of Lin Wensheng as prime minister is naturally a reason for my father's emperor, and it is because my sons agree with my father's decision, but what the ministers of the court said is also reasonable, and my sons think that my father can assess Lin Wensheng in the court, so that the ministers are convinced." ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled: "Okay, I really deserve to be my son, and I understand my father's thoughts." ”

Chu Tianyi stood up and said lightly: "Erchen disagrees. ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at him and said angrily, "What do you disagree with?" Don't you want to occupy the position of prime minister? That's a big deal.

Chu Tianyi sneered and said lightly: "Erchen is thinking about Southern Chu, but his father accuses Erchen of wanting to seize power, since this is the case......"

As he spoke, he took out the prime minister's seal in his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said lightly: "Erchen is willing to immediately give up the position of prime minister and no longer act as an agent." ”

Emperor Jianwen shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this son of a? Did you talk to me like that? Where have all those courtesies and shames been read? You are so bold and reckless, do you still have respect for me in your heart! ”

Chu Tianyi felt bitter in his heart, it turned out that he was destined to be hurt since he cared about this father, too, after so many years of ignorance, even disgust and reprimanding in court, how could it become a favor overnight, or even doting? The funny thing is that he was obviously injured to the point that his body was completely damaged, but he still subconsciously looked forward to it, blaming himself for not being able to see clearly, how could his son be as important as the emperor's face? Realizing the unhappiness in his heart, Chu Tianyi subconsciously forced himself to think of the despicable calculation of the person in front of him, and his heart hardened again.

Standing in the hall, he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Erchen is just stating a fact, as for the matter of etiquette, righteousness and shame...... I'm sorry, my son never went to school, my mother died early, and my father didn't teach. ”

Emperor Jianwen only felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching, what was this? Does it mean that he, the father, has not been taught, so he has not?

Ministers: It's still Prince Yi who is the most powerful, and he is very justified in saying that he has no courtesy, righteousness and shame, and there is no way to refute it.

Emperor Jianwen really said angrily: "Chu Tianyi, since you want to pay it, then I will accept it, and it will be clean, you have been thinking about it in the palace these days." After speaking, Gonggong Li put away the seal.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pleaded: "Your Majesty, everything Prince Yi has done these days is for the sake of Nanchu, and Weichen uses his head to ensure that Prince Yi is selfless." ”

Cao Zuo, the secretary of Dali Temple, also said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, you praised Prince Yi for his ability, and today Prince Yi only expressed his opinions, and he didn't think about it." ”

.......

In the end, basically all the ministers were interceding for Chu Tianyi.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Chu Tianyi and said lightly: "Since all of you Aiqing are interceding for you, you don't have to go back and think about it." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Erchen should go back and think about it, lest his father be disobedient and shameless on the left, and his son-in-law can't afford it." But I understood something in my heart.

Emperor Jianwen ignored him, looked at the ministers and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yi'er has never been to school, and he can make you intercede for him with his own ability, so this important position does not necessarily have to be the champion Tanhua, although Lin Wensheng is just a child, but he has managed the poor Jinan in an orderly manner in less than a year, he must have great talent, I have also passed the school examination, this person is more than enough to be the prime minister of a country, if you Aiqing does not believe it, it can be for half a year, if this person is useless, it is not too late to change people." ”

The ministers had no choice but to say: "Obey the emperor's will, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Emperor Jianwen said: "I received a secret report that the little emperor of Beifeng and the regent fought the law, and under some design, the regent actually went to the border between Beifeng and Nanchu to increase the troops, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

This is a matter for the generals.

Jiang Ao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the regent of Beifeng is not an idle person, how can he lose to a child?" This matter must be a fraud, and the last general thought that he should send a general to the border to guard the town in case of sudden changes, and the last general was willing to lead the troops there. ”

Zhao Yong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, retorted: "Your Majesty, Wechen remembers that the regent is a person who likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and if he loses the battle, he may want to take the opportunity to withdraw from the court. ”

Jiang Ao argued: "Your Majesty, the war at the border pass is changing rapidly, if we ignore it, when the regent of Beifeng invades Southern Chu, we will lose the opportunity." ”

Another general surnamed Jiang also said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what the Marquis of Zhenbei said is reasonable, no matter what, the increase in troops is always prepared, and besides, the Marquis of Zhenbei has been guarding the border for many years, so he is more sure of the situation in Beifeng." ”

The other generals said: "The last general agrees with what the Marquis of Zhenbei said. ”

Emperor Jianwen said: "What the Marquis of Zhenbei said is indeed reasonable, but the Marquis of Zhenbei has just returned to Beijing, and it is too tiring to go to the border to defend it before he arrives for a year. ”

Jiang Ao said with the unique arrogance of a military general: "It is the honor of the last general to defend Nanchu. ”

Emperor Jianwen said with a smile: "The Marquis of Zhenbei is full of enthusiasm, I am very moved, there is the Marquis of Zhenbei in Southern Chu, and it is safe." He said hesitantly: "It's just that the Marquis of Zhenbei is in charge of the forbidden army and the military affairs of the six directions, and I am very relieved, if I go to the border pass to defend it, the war will not start, wouldn't it be a waste of my right-hand man?" ”

Jiang Lige stood up and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty, although the last general of border affairs is not as good as his father, he has been with his father for many years and has dabbled a lot. ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded and said, "That's a good idea." ”

Zhao Yong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, objected: "Your Majesty, General Lige certainly has the demeanor of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but General Lige is still young and his rank is not high, so I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the command of the first army." ”

Jiang Ao said: "Your Majesty, Lige has been by the side of the last general since he was a child, and the last general has taught everything he has learned, and when he goes to the border, except for the last general, it is the most suitable for Lige." ”

Emperor Jianwen said: "In this way, I will be relieved." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said unwillingly: "Your Majesty ......"

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said, "Zhao Aiqing, I know what you want to say, isn't it just age and rank?" The Marquis of Zhenbei was also at this age to fight the world with me, and even the grade was even lower, so I felt that it was completely okay to leave the song. ”

At this time, Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Father, my son is willing to go together." ”

Emperor Jianwen raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't fought before, what are you going to do?" ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Erchen has indeed never fought, but Erchen is also familiar with military books, and besides, with General Lige here, what if Erchen doesn't know what?" Erchen's age and rank are fine, and that's enough. ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded and said: "That's the truth, so let's go to the border this time, you and Lige will have a competition to decide who is the chief commander and who is the deputy marshal." ”

Jiang Lige naturally knew why Emperor Jianwen didn't let her father go, and why he had to let Chu Tianyi go, and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, Prince Yi privately talked about the art of war with the last general, and the last general thought that Prince Yi was above the ministers, so Prince Yi could be handsome." ”

Emperor Jianwen was pleased: "Your main and deputy generals are so humble, I am very relieved, since Lige has said so, there is Prince Yi as the commander." He looked at Chu Tianyi and said, "Yi'er, you have to listen to the opinions of Lige." ”

Only then did he look at the civil and military officials and said majestically: "Prince Yi Chu Tianyi listened to the order, and I named you the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and three days later led 100,000 troops to the border pass to guard Nanchu." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Erchen listens to the order. ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at Jiang Lige again and said: "General Lige Jiang Lige listens to the order, and I will appoint you as the deputy marshal, assist Prince Yi, and guard Nanchu." ”

Jiang Lige saluted: "The last general will listen to the order." ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at the two of them with an expression that you must defend Nanchu for me: "You must cooperate with each other and never let Beifeng enter the army in the slightest." ”

For a while, the ministers were puzzled, I don't know whether Emperor Jianwen is disgusted with Prince Yi, or likes Prince Yi, if it is disgusted, why should he give the position of marshal to Chu Tianyi, who has never fought, if he likes it, why is he resolutely withdrawing Prince Yi's position as acting prime minister today, and giving the position of prime minister to the prince's person?

Chu Tianjue's eyes were full of ruthless light, and he was extremely unwilling Chu Tianyi to get the position of marshal so easily, his father was going to give Chu Tianyi this piece of military power, he wouldn't let Chu Tianyi be so lucky, didn't he go to the border? Chu Tianyi doesn't even know martial arts, if he dies at the border, then no one will doubt it.

After the early dynasty, Emperor Jianwen first summoned Chu Tianyi into the imperial study.

Chu Tianyi was as indifferent as ever, as if he was not interested in anything.

When Emperor Jianwen saw him like this, he knew that he was angry, and sighed: "Yi'er, you have always been extremely smart, why don't you know my intentions?" I even gave you a harem to spoil it, but it's just a prime minister's position, what are you angry about? ”

Chu Tianyi said with an indifferent face: "A prime minister's son doesn't care. ”

Emperor Jianwen was puzzled: "Then why are you so angry?"

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Just say what your father wants to say, and the son will go back to prepare for the expedition." ”

Emperor Jianwen said helplessly: "You are really ......" wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed helplessly.

Chu Tianyi said again: "My father designed me to separate from Lige, and this time I want to use her to consolidate my position in the army for my son, but my son really can't find a reason to be kind to my father." ”
