Early in the morning of the eighth day of October, the report of the imperial doctor was sent to the desk of the old emperor Wanyan Yong. The report said that Wan Yan Yusheng "watched and heard, although he laughed from time to time, he knew how to eat and drink, and he defecated", in one sentence, Wan Yan Yusheng's recovery is in sight. At this time, the old emperor had really run out of oil, his eyes were sunken, and he was so thin that he didn't look like a human being. In the past few days, he has been sleeping longer and longer, and he can't even enter the imperial meal, just drink some thin soup.

After receiving the report, Wan Yan Yong summoned Wan Yan Jing, Wan Yan Zhangshou, Tu Dan Li and Yan Zhanwang and other important ministers into the palace, and sent the report to several people to watch.

Zhang Shou knew it well, and his smile was natural and sincere. Wan Yanjing frowned secretly, he faintly felt that this matter was strange. As for Tu Dan Li and Yan Zhanwang, they looked at each other. The two of them are now on the same side as Yan Yudu, and they have attacked Yan Yudu several times, so it is naturally impossible for them to return to the camp of the main battle faction.

However, several people were old foxes, and although they had different thoughts, they all bowed down and congratulated the old emperor.

Wan Yan Zhangshou took the opportunity to play, and the forbidden army and the garrison battalion escorted Wan Yan Yusheng back to Zhongdu to recuperate. The old emperor nodded in agreement, and sent a decree to let the sixth prince return to Beijing after Yan Yusheng.

Walking out of the Taihe Palace, Wanyan Zhangshou and Wanyan Jing walked side by side.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's illness is not optimistic, you and I should go to the Tai Hospital! Urge all the doctors to do their best! ”

Wan Yanjing frowned slightly, before, both of them had gone to the Tai Hospital to inquire about the old emperor's condition and see how long he could live. But this matter is actually not in accordance with the rules, the emperor's lifespan, how can the courtiers ask? It's just that the two sides are in favor of the opposition, and it is normal to pay attention to this matter, and others will not say anything.

"What Lord Zuo said is very true!" After Yan Jing pondered for a moment, he still agreed.

Tu Dan Li and Yan Zhanwang glanced at each other, then turned around and walked towards Yuhua Palace, where Wan Yan Jing lived.

————

The Tai Hospital is in the outer city of Miyagi, and it takes half an hour to walk from the Taihe Hall. Zhang Shou and Wan Yan Jing'an walked as cars, walking slowly.

"Lord Right Minister, Your Majesty asked about the establishment of the prince a few days ago, but there has been no movement in the past two days, I don't know what Lord Right Xiang thinks?" Zhang Shou's tone was calm, as if chatting.

"You and I know the candidate, so why bother asking!" Wan Yanjing is old, and he is not so polite when he speaks to Zhang Shou, who is a junior character.

Zhang Shou didn't care, "If the prince doesn't stand, the courtiers are panicking." Once the holy car returns to heaven, I am afraid that Dajin will fall into civil strife, and the right minister is the first minister of my Dajin, and I need to come up with a charter. ”

Wan Yanjing looked at Zhang Shou with some surprise, Zhang Shou has always been gentle and elegant, speaking and doing things, hiding needles in the cotton, and now he actually said something like "The Holy Driver Returns to Heaven", which is very different from his usual style.

"The Holy Dragon's body is not safe, why shouldn't I? In the past two years, I have done a little more work, and I am dizzy, panting and palpitating, and the day of my departure may not be far away. I'm old, and I'm powerless about the things in the court! ”

Zhang Shou scolded secretly in his heart, you are an old thing, your body is better than me, but you are still selling here. "The health of the right minister is seen by everyone, and even I am envious! Even if I go big, I'll go ahead of adults. ”

"Lord Zuo Xiang is really good at laughing, you are less than fifty years old, and you are in the prime of life, what are you talking about?" Wan Yanjing shook his head.

After Yan Jing didn't answer the words about the situation in Dajin, Zhang Shou had no choice but to take the curve. "Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are autumn. When I was a teenager, every time I heard about the great achievements of the right minister, I was full of enthusiasm, and I regretted that I was a scribe and could not gallop on the field under the command of adults. It's a pity to think about it now. ”

"Wu can determine the country, Wen Ke Anbang, why should Lord Zuo be humble. Over the years, you have assisted His Majesty in handling government affairs, and you have contributed a lot to the prosperity of Daikin today! Wan Yanjing's words are also pertinent.

"The ancients accompanied the king like a tiger, but my emperor is benevolent and good at accepting advice, and it is better to sit on the spring breeze when the court is an official. And the holy eyes are like lightning, and we are discerning, and we are courtiers, all of whom are just beating down. As for those who do not merit, future generations will have their own conclusions. I just hope that after a hundred years, no one will dig up the grave and whip the corpse, and I will be satisfied. ”

"Gravediggers? Lord Zuo Xiang laughed. ”

"The world is unpredictable. Wei Xuancheng (that is, Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty) contributed to Sheji, and Tang Taizong used it as a mirror, but after Xuancheng's death, Taizong smashed his tombstone. Although the Holy One is better than Taizong today, I am not a genius. What will happen after death is really unpredictable. Zhang Shou pulled out the examples of Wei Zheng and Li Shimin, and implicitly pointed out.

"Xuancheng and Taizong have a good beginning but no good end, and it is a pity that the good stories of the monarchs and ministers are ancient. However, the crown prince Li Chengqian rebelled, and the two people recommended by Wei Zheng strongly, Hou Junji, the secretary of the ministry, and Du Zhenglun, the waiter of the Chinese book, were all involved, so it is no wonder that Taizong was furious and smashed Wei Zheng's tombstone! Referring to this history, Wan Yanjing also sighed.

Zhang Shou said, "Taizong personally conquered Goryeo, worked the people and lost money, and returned in embarrassment, so he remembered Wei Xuancheng's good coming, went to his tomb to mourn, and re-erected a monument for him. Although the ending is good, Wei Zheng is under the spring, I am afraid that it is cold. I wonder if you and I will be able to be quiet after we die? ”

Wan Yanjing suddenly realized that Zhang Shou deliberately mentioned this history, and his intention was not simple. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Right and wrong have their own hearts." We can't take care of what is behind us. Maybe as soon as you enter the Yellow Spring, you will fall into reincarnation, and you will be a human animal in the next life, and you don't know how much you care! ”

Zhang Shou frowned, this old fox is really difficult to deal with, the oil and salt don't enter, it seems that he has to take strong medicine.

"I don't dare to agree with what the adults say." Wanyan Zhangshou shook his head and said, "Even if adults don't think about themselves, they should think about Dajin." You and I are both descendants of Taizu Aguta, and the foundation of our ancestors cannot be lost! Do we want to see it destroyed? ”

"Humph! If His Royal Highness ascends the throne, he will definitely wave his army to the south and seize the Central Plains, and the prosperity of Dajin will definitely be better than today! Zhang Shou spoke politely, and Wan Yanjing's face also turned cold.

Zhang Shou is secretly happy, I'm not afraid that you have no opinion, but I'm afraid that you won't accept it. "Your Excellency has been in charge of the military for a long time, so your Excellency thinks that if Dajin goes south, how long will it take to occupy the north of the Yangtze River?"

"Dajin and Daqi went to war, and the number of victories and losses was fifty-five, but if they got the help of Western Xia and Shu, they would definitely be able to attack and win. Within two years, the world can be determined! ”

"Then Dajin and Shu and Western Xia, how to divide the territory?"

"This ......," Wan Yanjing fell silent. This is really a difficult problem, and the greed of the old emperor Li Renxiao of Western Xia is well known. Daikin wants to dig meat out of his mouth and eat it, I'm afraid it won't be easy. However, Wan Yanjing will naturally not be left behind because of this, "We just have to fight in the past, as for how to scrape the score, we will talk about it then!" ”

Zhang Shou smiled slightly, "The Yangtze River is more dangerous than the Yellow River, whether it is Dajin or Western Xia, they are not used to water warfare." When Cao Mengde led the army south, known as 800,000, the power was great, and there was no two for a while, but the battle of Chibi was burned by Zhou Yu. Even if I Dajin and Xixia join forces, how many points can I beat Cao Mengde? As for what the adults said, discussing with the Western Xia to scrape the territory of Daqi north of the Yangtze River is tantamount to seeking the skin of the tiger, and at that time, I am afraid that Dajin and the Western Xia will fight to the death. ”

"Fight it, fight it, is Daikin still afraid that Xixia will not succeed? Joke! Wan Yanjing seemed to be dismissive of Western Xia.

In such a controversy, Wanyan Zhangshou and Wanyan Jing have quarreled many times on behalf of the main battle faction and the main peace faction respectively, and there is naturally no result today. However, Zhang Shou's purpose is obviously not here, "No matter what the result is, the war will not end in a few months, and it is possible that it will last for three or five years." After a long time, whether there will be problems within my Daikin is still being discussed. What's more, we don't have to sit back and relax when we go south, there are still those Tatars north of Dajin! ”

Wan Yanjing frowned and said, "Second Highness is at the helm of Dajin, with an old minister like you and me assisting, what will be the problem?" ”

Zhang Shou simply said it thoroughly, "His Royal Highness was raised by the right minister, and he must know better than me what he is like." I heard that two days ago, at the night banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion, His Royal Highness actually took action against a Western Xia guard, which is really ridiculous. The trivial matter is still like this, once the Second Highness becomes the Ninety-Five, I can only hang the crown and go, I don't want to end up with a whole corpse. As for adults, you shouldn't have this concern, right? ”

Wan Yanjing fell silent again, and the scene of that night appeared in front of him again. That night, Tart Li even glanced at Wan Yan Yu and asked him to say something about the scene, but Wan Yan Yu ignored it. This made Wan Yan Jing extremely worried, a trivial matter, Wan Yan Yu couldn't restrain his anger, if it was a major military event, what would happen to Wan Yan Yu who ascended the throne? Will he be like Wu Zixu at the beginning, "Hang my eyes above the east gate of Wu, and watch Yue Kou's entry and destroy Wu Ye!" ”

However, what kind of person is Wan Yanjing, how could he be forced to ask by Zhang Shou, "Even if His Second Highness is deficient, he will definitely be able to become a temporary hero!" How can you guess? ”

"Male Lord? Then we Dajin will be blessed. Zhang Shou chuckled, "King Hailing reappears, I can only hope that after the Second Highness, there will be another Ming monarch like the current saint!" I also hope that the right minister can be like when he was young, and then make a decision! ”

"Wanyan Zhangshou!" Wan Yanjing glared angrily, "What do you mean?" ”

"My lord is angry, it's my own words, I hope you will forgive me!" Zhang Shou gave a deep salute and was very respectful.

Wan Yanjing snorted coldly and continued to move forward, but his heart was beating a drum. The lesson of King Hailing's Wanyan Liang is not profound. He killed the monarch and stood on his own, and was later calculated by Wan Yan Yong and died in the civil strife in the army. It's because he is violent and impermanent, and he doesn't count killing. Although it is quite literary and martial, because of his stubbornness, he is in danger of Dajin. After Wan Yan Liang's death, he was deposed by the new emperor Wan Yan Yong and demoted to the title of "King of Hailing".

He once assisted Wan Yan Yong to achieve great causes, which is Wan Yan Jing's greatest contribution. Now that Zhang Shou has finished taking Yan Yu and is better than Wan Yan Liang, he is sarcastic about Wan Yan Jing, and Wan Yan Jing is inevitably annoyed and angry, although in his heart, he deeply believes what Zhang Shou said.

Zhang Shou can be regarded as letting go, and he told Wan Yan Jing directly, which made Wan Yan Jing, who was already worried, even more uneasy, and had to cover it up by being angry.

Seeing that the Tai Hospital was imminent, Zhang Shou took out the letter that Yan Yusheng had already written from his arms, chased after him for two steps, caught up with Yan Jing, and handed it over.

Wan Yanjing looked at the envelope and frowned, "Didn't I return it to you?" ”

"This is newly written by His Royal Highness the Sixth, ask me to transfer it to you, it is sealed with fire paint, and your Excellency will know when you check it."

Sure enough, the seal of the letter was also stamped with Yan Yusheng's private seal.

Wan Yanjing nodded slightly, and stuffed the letter in his arms, "Didn't His Highness's injury just improve?" Why did you send the letter immediately? ”

"The Sixth Highness is safe and sound, the enemy is cruel, and he has to do it!" Anyway, Yan Yusheng is coming back, and Zhang Shou is not afraid to reveal a little information.

"What?" Wan Yan Jing was dumbfounded! ~
