Chapter 95: Wings (First Update, Asking for Support)
Something else?
What else will happen?
Kill the king and usurp the throne!
I'm afraid that's the kind of thing, the corners of my lips are slightly raised. Zhu Mingzhong said a little mockingly.
"None of them were afraid back then."
"That's because the king was a minister at the beginning, and now the king is likely to be a minister as a king. So they can't help but worry. ”
Looking at the king, Qian Lei continued.
"Even if they don't worry, the people of the world will be worried, and if Zhu Youlang and his son have any accidents in the ten thousand years, how will the king explain to the people of the world at that time?"
Qian Lei's question made Zhu Mingzhong's brows lock slightly, and his face changed slightly.
"At that time, even if any one of them and father and son suffers an accident, it will be the king's order in the eyes of the world, and what if someone uses this as an excuse to fight against him? At that time, even if the king had countless reasons, there was no way to explain it, so from this point of view, Cangshui's twists and turns seemed to be in danger of the king, but in fact, it saved the king from fire and water! ”
Save the king from fire and water!
With his brows furrowed, Zhu Mingzhong snorted. "If that's the case, I have to thank him!" Hearing the dissatisfaction in the king's tone, Qian Lei just smiled, and then continued.
"It's not about thanks, after all, after this incident, the court's vigilance against the king, and even the killing intent are obvious, but the king ......"
Staring at the thoughtful king, Qian Lei smiled.
"Even if the court intends to harm the king, as long as the loyal and righteous army is there, how can they win the king?" This is the truth, as long as the loyal and righteous army is here, they can't do anything about themselves!
"Actually, now that there is such a trouble, for Jiangbei, if you talk about the disadvantages, you can't say that there is no, you can wait to see it, I'm afraid the benefits will only be more!"
"Bingqi, it seems that you came to Shenyang this time, I'm afraid you really have something to say about the main department."
With a smile on his face, Zhu Mingzhong unconsciously stroked his beard, he has completely integrated into this era in the past two years, including growing a beard like a person of this era, although his beard is not long, but sometimes he involuntarily wants to touch it twice.
"The King." Qian Lei leaned his upper body over, stared at the king and said solemnly.
"After the king raised troops in Jiangyin, he first returned to Changzhou, and then conquered Nanjing, which can be said to have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. But what kind of danger did the king face? At the beginning in Nanjing, the king was almost killed by the king of Fujian, and then went north to the north alone, with thousands of men and horses, all relying on the lives of the brothers, before laying the foundation of my Jiangbei today, and then later, Dasu went south, my loyal army to tens of thousands against 100,000, after a bloody battle, Dasu led 100,000 elite soldiers all for my loyal army to annihilate, since then the trend of the Qing Dynasty will be declining, the king can be said to be turning the tide. Now, the king led his troops north, recovered Liaodong, cut off the back road of the Qing captives, and made them go away to the grassland. It can be said that if there is no king, there will naturally be no Ming today's momentum, but what if the battle is over? Once the great war in the world is over, raising another 100,000 men and horses will not only consume food and wages, increase the burden on the people, but also make the court feel uneasy, which is naturally not a good thing. When the time comes, it is natural to reduce the army, and what will the king choose at that time? The minister said something that should not be said. ”
"Say it, Bingqi." Zhu Mingzhong nodded and said.
"Over the years, since the king got acquainted with you, you have been loyal to the king, and how can the king not know that whenever you have something to say, just say yours, and the king will never blame you in the slightest."
"King Xie, I'm not welcome." The king's answer made Qian Lei say quite emotionally.
"Once the world is calm, it will naturally be mentioned that the knives and guns will be put into storage and the horses will be put in Nanshan, after all, at that time. The time is ripe, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a thing as today's foreign surname vassal king in charge of the world's military power, at that time, the government and the opposition must take disarmament as the first priority, and the loyal army, the Chu army, the Min army and the Jin army will be abolished in large numbers, and what will happen to the king? In the opinion of the ministers, the king will certainly give up the land to protect the sea, and with the loyalty of the king to the affairs of the state, he will definitely agree to disarmament, but he will also try to preserve the navy, after all, I am equal to the overseas land, and cannot do without the naval fleet. ”
"Bingqi, you're right!" Zhu Mingzhong did not choose Qian Lei's statement, if he did not choose, he would indeed choose to protect the navy, after all, the future era is the age of great navigation, and it is inseparable from the naval fleet.
"But the king, all this is for the sake of the court. As for the king's sake, you think about it personally. ”
Qian Lei paused for a moment and said in a firm tone. "Not to mention anything else, that is, since the king started his army, in order to promote the Ming Dynasty, he expelled the Qing captives, and there are more than one or two people who have offended during the period? Please forgive the minister to say a straight thing, the world is jealous of the king, and the haters are probably all over the government and the opposition. If he dismantles the loyal army for the Ming Dynasty in the future, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Tell me what the consequences will be." Qian Lei's words made Zhu Mingzhong's heart tighten slightly.
"The day when the horses are put into Nanshan and the swords and guns are put into storage, it is the time when the king dies!" When such a sentence came out of Qian Lei's mouth, Zhu Mingzhong's brows tightened, and he was silent, just sitting there quietly looking into the distance.
"Just like now, even if the king has the world's heroes in his hands, but once the court suspects the king, what is the king in the eyes of the court? It's a threat, it's someone who wants to get rid of it quickly! Today's king is the mainstay of the world, as for his day, if the king has no soldiers in his hands, I am afraid that the person who talks to the king now is not a minister, but the brocade guard of the court, and the king is probably already in the edict of the brocade guard at this time! King! ”
Qian Lei's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong's heart beat violently, yes! If it weren't for this "warning", I'm afraid there is a real good chance that he would not be against disarmament. If that's the case, it's tantamount to giving up his head, would he do such a thing?
Whether it will or not, I'm afraid only God knows. But after this turmoil, no matter what, he will not give his head to others. This is a good thing after all!
"If you disarm, you will be able to cut your own wings, and you will lose your heroic heart! How long can it last? Therefore, all heroes in the world must not cut their wings! ”
Qian Lei's reminder made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, and he looked at Qian Lei with straight eyes. He has always regarded Qian Lei, who was born as a master, as the kind of official who is proficient in government affairs, but on the other hand, Qian Lei rarely expresses his opinions in the military office, because he is better at handling ordinary government affairs, rather than as a staff member and staff officer in military affairs. However, the sentence just now, "All heroes in the world must not cut their own wings", caused him to have a strong shock.
"Wings can't be cut by themselves!" Zhu Mingzhong nodded, looked at Qian Lei and said.
"This time, they reminded right, otherwise, when this king cut his wings, I am afraid it will be the day of the king's death, and the merit will be high......"
Meritorious Cover Lord!
Throughout the ages, how many people have lost their lives because of these four words? In the history books, it can be said that there are countless such examples, loyal ministers...... How many have a good end? With such a sigh in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong smiled bitterly.
"It seems that I really want to thank Cang Shui, his twist and turn can be said to have completely dispelled all the illusions of this king!"
Yes, the illusion is completely gone. Although this time, the imperial court did not show that it wanted to kill him, but Zhu Mingzhong knew very well that it was only a matter of time before Zhu Youlang wanted to kill him, and after returning to the imperial capital, the biggest threat to them may no longer be the Manchu Qing, and even they would not think about any western expeditions, as long as they were alive, they would never rest assured.
"Before coming to Shenyang, the ministers have already discussed this matter, if the ministers' property is not bad, after returning to the capital division, they will definitely order the king to lead the army to the west!" Looking at the king, Qian Lei expressed their guess.
"Oh!" With a sneer, Zhu Mingzhong said. "They want to borrow a knife to kill someone!"
"I want to borrow a knife to cut the wings of the king, once the king can't fight well, how will the emperor think of the king? How will the government and the opposition officials and gentry view the king? They will definitely take this opportunity to cut off the king's wings, and when there is not a single soldier in the king's hands, everything can naturally be plotted slowly! ”
Zhu Mingzhong nodded, this is the most common method throughout the ages. He was silent, he didn't say anything, just sat there, holding a teacup in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at Qian Lei and asked.
"So, what do you think?" The "you" in his mouth naturally refers to a few people who have joined the army, and he needs to know their opinions. More importantly, you need to know what they think.
"The king has no way to retreat now, and if he retreats, he will die without a place to be buried!" Qian Lei's answer made Zhu Mingzhong's heart stunned again. There is no place to die! This is definitely not alarmist, what Qian Lei said is the truth, if this time, he does not respond accurately, then there will definitely be no place to die in the future, not only personally, but also his family.
"The king......" Looking at the king, whose face changed from time to time, Qian Lei continued.
"Whether the king is the heir of the first emperor or not, in fact, it doesn't matter to the imperial court, Li Ziyuan will not miss this opportunity to fall into the ground, even Zheng Jing is also happy to see the Huai Fan abolished, as for Li Dingguo and Zhang Huangyan, they are weak, if the court insists on going its own way, what can they do to win the court?"
"Then ......" After a slight pause, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically.
"Bingqi, tell me, what should I do now?" If it weren't for seeing his own danger, Zhu Mingzhong would never be so angry, and now he has no way out!
"The King." Qian Lei said without thinking.
"In fact, everyone in the world wants to know, who is the king?"
