Chapter 990: The One Who Achieves Great Things (Third Update)
Liu Daxia tried to persuade Xie Qian, but his words were pale at this time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
No matter what he says, Liu Daxia has the factor of using Shen Xi in it, Shen Xi is just a descendant, the champion at the age of thirteen, and now he is only seventeen years old, let him bear such a heavy responsibility, if Shen Xi is lost in the northwest, then Liu Daxia can't get out of the matter, this is where Xie Qian is dissatisfied.
Liu Daxia used Shen Xi, naturally thinking about what would happen if he used it right, but he never considered the result after failure.
Whether it is public or private, Xie Qian will not agree to let Liu Daxia transfer Shen Xi to the northwest to be the governor of Yansui, let alone let Shen Xi lead the troops to the battle, even if Shen Xi is left in Zhan Shifu as a lecturer in the East Palace, it is better than pushing Shen Xi to the battlefield, Xie Qian wants to die to protect Shen Xi from being pushed to a dead end by Liu Daxia.
When Ma Wensheng saw this situation, he couldn't help the two make peace at all, so he could only express his opinion: "Shen Xi is a young talent, and the old man has never denied it, but he is too extreme, once or twice, he may be able to take advantage of the contempt of others for him, and get results, but it is not a long-term solution." ”
"I heard that after the war in the northwest, the Tatar envoys went to the capital and went to his palace to provoke, intending to compete with him on the battlefield. Shi Yong, have you taken this into account? ”
One sentence gets to the heart of the matter.
Shen Xi is very hated by the Tatars, if the Tatars want to kill Shen Xi, the enemy who humiliates them, maybe when Shen Xi sends out troops, they will first mediate internally, and then join forces to fight against Shen Xi, with the fierceness of the Tatar cavalry, the same mistake will not be made twice, then Shen Xi will probably not die well.
Xie Qian sneered: "You ask him, didn't he expect it?" Maybe he was trying to use Shen Xi'er as a bait, preparing to let Shen Xi'er carry tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers and horses, and then he led his troops to attack the rear of Tatar and cut off the back road of Tatar, Shen Xi'er died on the spot, but he could be famous! ”
Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian both looked at Liu Daxia.
Among the three, Xie Qian knew very little about the art of war, after all, he was never in charge of the army, and he was good at learning and handling government affairs, and rarely involved in specific conquests.
But even Xie Qian could see that Liu Daxia was ready to push Shen Xi out as bait and send him to death, and Liu Daxia's denial was in vain!
What Liu Daxia thought before was that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, since he wanted to create a good external environment for the new prince of the Ming Dynasty to ascend the throne, it was acceptable to sacrifice one or two people or even tens of thousands of soldiers.
What's more, Liu Daxia did not take the initiative to push Shen Xi to death, Shen Xi still has a chance to save himself, maybe Shen Xi can lead three or five thousand soldiers and horses, withstand the siege of tens of thousands of Tatar iron cavalry, and finally return victorious?
Those who achieve great things are informal, as for the life and death of one or two people, or even the life and death of people whom Liu Daxia admired and admired before, it doesn't matter, this is the ruthlessness of being in the court, because everything is the interests first, and on the premise of achieving the goal, anyone can sacrifice.
Out of consideration for the overall situation, Xie Qian thought that Liu Daxia's move was very good, taking advantage of the Tatars' hatred of Shen Xi, letting Shen Xi lead the troops in front and attracting the main Tatar force to attack, and he also believed that with Shen Xi's ghostly talent, he could bring a small number of soldiers and horses to support it for a long time, which was a kind of confidence in Shen Xi.
But two fists are hard to beat four hands, Shen Xi is impossible to survive under the watchful eye of many enemies no matter what, but Liu Daxia can seize the fighter plane to get the results, not necessarily to end the back of the Tatar and wipe out the main force of the Tatar, at least in this kind of real sword and real gun warfare will not fall behind. Using Shen Xi and thousands of soldiers and horses who died in exchange for the overall superiority of the Ming army, this made it difficult for Xie Qian to accept.
Xie Qian's support for Shen Xi is no longer from the perspective of the imperial court, but out of righteous indignation, why did you let my grandson-in-law die?
The effect of you Liu Daxia going out as a bait may be better than Shen Xi, you are obviously recommending Shen Xi, but secretly you are using him and sending him to death, you want my little good granddaughter to be a widow as soon as she gets married, don't think about it!
Xie Qian's personal feelings are greater than justice, and he is a little speechless in Liu Daxia's opinion, you protect a Shen Xi, but let His Majesty's dying wish not be fulfilled, this is the attitude you should have as a minister?
Since his words were stiff, Liu Daxia knew that it would be useless to say anything to Xie Qian, if he continued to insist on letting Shen Xi go out with the army, or even let Shen Xi become a vanguard officer, then he would be equivalent to completely losing Xie Qian, a political ally, and it would be difficult to get Xie Qian's help in the government in the future.
Ma Wensheng saw this layer and hurriedly waved his hand: "This matter will be discussed in the future, and I will ask Your Majesty for advice, and Your Majesty will decide it personally!" ”
Ma Wensheng, who has always been old and strong, seems to be speaking neutrally, but in Xie Qian's opinion, Ma Wensheng is clearly on Liu Daxia's side.
What does it mean to be "personally determined by His Majesty"? The emperor has promised Liu Daxia to let Shen Xi go out with the army, as for letting Shen Xi be the governor of Yansui, or some other errand, this may be discussed later, but this matter is irreparable.
I now want Liu Daxia to tell Your Majesty, please Your Majesty take back your order and replace someone else to go on the expedition with Liu Daxia, you Ma Wensheng now say that listening to Your Majesty is equivalent to saying that you support Liu Daxia, then I have nothing to talk to you about.
Xie Qian flicked his sleeves and said: "If you Liu Dongshan (Liu Daxia's name) continue to be obsessed, the food and salary of the three armies will be allocated, and the old man will cooperate, it will be a big deal...... The old man resigned and returned to his hometown, even if His Majesty did not allow it, I tossed this old bone and became sick, saying that I was sick! Leave! ”
After speaking, Xie Qian didn't even turn back and left Liu's mansion, which made Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia feel helpless.
In addition to Xie Qian's decent work in recent years, he has done several major things one after another, but also because of the other two, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have fallen off the chain, and they have taken sick leave and personal leave when they have nothing to do, and they don't go to court at home.
The emperor originally intended to let Cheng Minzheng join the cabinet to share the heavy responsibilities, but after Cheng Minzheng died in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the emperor felt that the party disputes within the court were serious, so that Fu Han, Wu Kuan and others, who had a competitive relationship with Cheng Minzheng, failed to enter the cabinet until Zhu Youji's death.
The cabinet has always maintained three cabinet scholars, mainly because Zhu Youzhu felt that there was no one who could do things properly and convince the public to enter the cabinet, and he could not be rashly transferred when he was not in good health, so even if Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had no intention of going to court and repeatedly resigned, they would rather let Xie Qian take on the errand of the cabinet alone, and did not recruit another person.
It's good now, Xie Qian has already made his words clear in order to protect Shen Xi...... If Liu Daxia insists on going his own way, then I won't play with you, for the sake of the interests of the so-called imperial court, as well as a good external environment for the crown prince to ascend the throne, you will push my grandson-in-law out and send him to death, let me watch the obedient and well-behaved little granddaughter as a widow, then I thank someone for what life to serve the court, I will resign directly!
"Shi Yong, don't think too much, Yu Qiao just couldn't let go for a while, and then I will come to the door to persuade you, what you should do, what you should do, I will stand by your side." Ma Wensheng expressed his attitude at this time.
Ma Wensheng's intersection with Xie Qian and Shen Xi is far less than Liu Daxia, although he also admires Shen Xi's ability to do things, but he once led the troops to Hami, and he is more of a soldier, he can only achieve strategic goals, and sacrificing a few people is not a matter at all, so he thinks that Xie Qian is purely emotional.
This time, he unconditionally supported Liu Daxia and asked Liu Daxia to continue his previous plan to send troops.
Since one Shen Xi can be exchanged for the victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Tatars, why not do such a cheap good thing?
Even if Shen Xi died, he was just a young descendant, and the imperial court would admit three hundred jinshi every three years, so why did you think that he must be better than others?
At this time, Liu Daxia was in a dilemma.
Xie Qian put pressure on him, and Ma Wensheng actually put pressure on him, if this matter is not picked on the bright side, maybe Liu Daxia will feel better, because whether Shen Xi is used or not, it can be said that it is "actual need", but now it has become Liu Daxia's choice whether to stand on the side of justice or private feelings, and Ma Wensheng is clearly putting him in a position where he can't get off the stage.
Liu Daxia thought to himself: "Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao, you shouldn't talk about things in front of the negative picture, maybe I will sell your face, because I know that your existence in this battle is greater than Shen Xi, and I would rather use Shen Xi in exchange for your support." But now you tell the negative plan about it, if I follow you, then the negative plan will play the court in this matter, where will I be? ”
Liu Daxia said: "What Ma Shangshu reminds is that I am afraid that this matter will have to be played by Your Majesty, and it will be decided by Your Majesty." ”
Liu Daxia has been in officialdom for many years, so he will never be talked about. He felt that the key issue was now Zhu Youji, Xie Qian's attitude was so clear that he refused to let Shen Xi go on the expedition, and it was not him and Ma Wensheng who moved Xie Qian, nor Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, except for the emperor, no one could make Xie Qian change his mind.
Previously, Xie Qian had been forced to agree to Emperor Hongzhi and let Shen Xi go with Liu Daxia, but now Liu Daxia could only risk offending Xie Qian in order to prevent Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian from embarrassing him at the same time, so that the emperor could put pressure on Xie Qian again......
Didn't you Xie Qian say that he wanted to resign and not do it? Then I will go and tell Your Majesty that you have used your resignation and illness to threaten me, and Your Majesty will talk to you again, and you dare to do this, that is the crime of bullying the king, see how you deal with yourself!
still responded to that sentence, those who become big things are not informal, Liu Daxia was troubled by Emperor Hongzhi, and was pushed into a dilemma by Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian, he didn't care how much friendship he had with Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng.
How can politicians mess with righteousness for the sake of personal interests?
