Chapter 252: The Son of Heaven's Means
Zhang Zhifang saw that Li Maoxun wanted to speak, and immediately shouted angrily in anger: "Li Maoxun, you are talking nonsense!" β
The two of them have always had a gap, and at this juncture, Li Maoxun still did this kind of thing, after all, in the past, Li Maoxun secretly said bad things about Zhang Zhifang, and it was Zhang Zhifang who was so angry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, Li Maoxun smiled at Zhang Zhifang and said: "Fang Jin, don't worry, I haven't said anything yet!" β
"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will ......"
"Shut up!" Before Zhang Zhifang finished speaking, he saw Zhang Zhongwu shouting angrily, and at the same time turned to Li Maoxun and snorted coldly: "Say it!" β
After hearing this, Li Maoxun glanced at Zhang Zhifang, who was coldly facing him, and then said with a smile: "The last general feels that what Fang Jin said is reasonable, since he has the heart to repent, so that Jun Zi should give him a chance, and although Fang Zheng is reckless, he is a fierce general, he must be able to establish a meritorious career on the battlefield, and he will also have a bright face!" β
As soon as the words came out, Zhang Zhifang was stunned, he never expected that Li Maoxun, who had always been against him, would open his mouth to speak for himself, but when Zhang Zhifang was stunned, he heard Li Maoxun say: "It's better to make the king let him be a partial general under the command of the last general, and if he has merit, he will be promoted, and if he has no merit, he will be degraded!" β
Zhang Zhifang's heart suddenly cooled when he heard this, and he looked at Zhang Yunshen, Zhou Qi, and Li Chengye with a blank eye, and the three of them turned their heads to the side with a tacit understanding at this time, and Zhang Zhongwu said coldly: "Look at what they do, according to what Li Maoxun said, if you make an inch, the merit will be offset, and if you violate the military rules again, the old man will not be spared!" β
Seeing this, Zhang Zhifang had no choice but to accept the order, and at the same time silently greeted Li Maoxun in turn in his heart before leaving.
......
In the evening, Li Chengye Mansion.
The wine and food were withdrawn, Zheng Cheng was slightly drunk, with a thick smile on his face, and he looked extremely excited, while Li Chengye was more reserved, drinking the freshly brewed tea soup by himself.
"I originally thought that Zhang Yuanjun would complain today, but I didn't expect to agree to send troops so happily, which saved you a lot of tongue!" Zheng Zhen smiled unintentionally.
Li Chengye also had a faint smile on his face after hearing this, and he really sweated after knowing the will of the imperial court, for fear that Zhang Zhongwu would quit the army in anger, but now it seems that he is too worried, at least Zhang Zhongwu is far smarter than he imagined, and he also knows how to figure out the intentions of the Son of Heaven, so as to make the most correct choice.
After thinking about it, Li Chengye said: "Zhang Zhongwu has been in Lulong for a long time, sitting on 100,000 male soldiers, if he changes ordinary people, he will naturally be arrogant, and even despise Tianwei and disobey the emperor's order, especially at this juncture, the imperial court refuses to send reinforcements, and the consumption is naturally Lu Long's soldiers, but Zhang Zhongwu can still maintain a clear heart, which is really rare!" β
"In this way, Zhang Yuanjun is a smart person, at least much smarter than the generals under his command!" Zheng Zhen couldn't help but groan.
"Hehe, that's natural, otherwise, as the envoy of the Xiongwu Army, how could he grasp the excellent opportunity of the Youzhou rebellion and become the envoy of the Lulong Festival?! Now His Majesty gave him a position as an envoy, but did not give him a single soldier, the meaning of which is obvious, on the surface it seems to be a reward, but in fact it is a reproach, and Chengde's civil strife first, and then in the hands of Yi soldiers lost several cities, this sin he Zhang Zhongwu can not get rid of no matter what! β
"Li Tingshi means that he ...... Guilty? Zheng Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Hahaha, what is his weak heart, the 100,000 male soldiers are real, not to mention that although the three towns of Hebei have old grudges, they are all the same, although they are not prosperous, but they are both losses, if the imperial court really raises troops to fight, the three towns of Hebei will definitely stand on the same line!" Li Chengye couldn't help laughing.
When Zheng Zheng heard this, he became more and more puzzled, and couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why is he still obedient to the imperial court?" β
"Hehe, the reason is very simple, what Zhang Zhongwu wants is a good reputation, he is the kind of person who has power and fame in his hands!" Li Chengye said with a smile.
"Then why did he refuse the reward of the imperial court, after all, the name of this envoy is already a very human minister, and this name is enough to leave a page in the history books!" Zheng Jin then asked again.
"If he wants to capture the past and indulge in it, if he accepts the reward of the prime minister at this time, he will not be able to sit down steadily, and it will be difficult to calm the mouth of the people in the world, if he can accept this reward justifiably after he calms down the border troubles, so that he can not only erase the sin of civil strife with Chengde, but also make the people of the world respect him, how can Zhang Zhongwu give up such a good thing!"
Zheng Zhen suddenly realized after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, before that, he thought he had seen through this officialdom, but after hearing Li Chengye's words today, he realized that he was still too far behind, and he looked so naΓ―ve in front of these old guys.
Seeing that Zheng Zheng was silent, Li Chengye smiled slowly again: "Why is Taiwanese silent? β
Zheng Jin shook his head helplessly, and replied with a dejected face: "Thanks to the guidance of the assassin history, Zheng Jin has benefited a lot!" β
Li Chengye laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha! Taiwanese, these are just some trivial tricks in the officialdom, you can't get on the scene, you can naturally understand the mystery after being in it for a long time, but there is one person who you should be most cautious to deal with! β
"Who? Please also give me advice! Zheng Zhen hurriedly crossed his hands and bowed, and at this moment he was already half awake from the wine.
"Naturally, it's that person!" Li Chengye said, and at the same time bowed slightly in the direction of Chang'an.
"Your Majesty?" Zheng Zhen was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood most of it.
In this wordless game, whether in the face of Cheng Dejun or Lu Longjun, Li Chen, the Son of Heaven, has firmly held the initiative in his hands from beginning to end, although he has only a one-sided relationship with these two people, but Li Chen, the Son of Heaven, seems to know the temper and temperament of these two major festivals, especially for Zhang Zhongwu, who was originally on one side, supported the army and respected himself, and had a natural initiative in sweeping away the border troubles, but Li Chen threw out an ethereal "Tongping Zhangshi" title lightly and easily took the initiative. This method alone has approached Emperor Taizongwen.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jin suddenly had a new understanding of this new son of heaven who had just ascended the throne, or more of an inexplicable awe.
"How difficult it is for Your Majesty, before ascending the throne, he followed Master Zhixian to travel all over the world, and returned for several years, this experience alone is unmatched, if there is no pair of eyes like a torch and extraordinary means, Your Majesty will not be able to survive to this day!" Li Chengye couldn't help but sigh.
Zheng Zheng nodded when he heard this, but suddenly thought of something, and whispered to Li Chengye: "I wonder if Your Majesty will pass on the position of the crown prince to Zeyuan?" β
