Chapter 539: The Prince's Wrath
There is such a thing as a matter of principle.
If this principle goes wrong, it will be the bane.
There is a cattle slaughtering book, and you are still shouting that you have stolen and killed the cow, for fear that others will not know.
Even if the palace suspects that you have done something bad and decides to turn a blind eye, it is difficult for you to deal with you if you shout.
Zhu Houzhao will never learn this.
Zhu Houzhao ate happily, Wen Yansheng also served on the table, drinking wine and eating side dishes at ease, for His Royal Highness the Prince, he was not in the mood to stammer and curry, he was a meritorious man, even if he neglected His Royal Highness the Prince, but what was it, he could still dismiss the official, even if he was dismissed, it was not a matter of the sky falling.
Zhu Houzhao was sweating all over his food, and when he was full of food and drink, he looked at Wen Yansheng and was silent for a long time before he said indifferently: "Sir, such a good craft, I don't know what position I live in now?" ”
"The minister is the prefect of Ningbo."
Zhu Houzhao's body was shocked, and he looked indignant: "Ningbo Prefect, what does it mean, a big official, a talent like Mr., must not be buried, Ming'er will say hello to the Ministry of Officials, you come to Zhenguo Mansion, what the palace lacks the most is a person like Mr. with unique skills." ”
From the moment he ate the first bite of beef, Zhu Houzhao was determined to keep him.
For those chaotic readers, Zhu Houzhao has no interest at all.
In his town, there are mostly 'chickens and dogs' who can build ships, who can publish strange knowledge, and a group of fishermen, who seem to ...... Zhu Houzhao didn't plan to recruit any good people to come in.
Zhenguo Mansion ......
Wen Yansheng was a little confused.
He has become a great talent?
………………
Two days later, the express came.
Emperor Hongji held a court meeting.
The news sent by the East Factory caused a huge confusion among the ministers.
The ministers were gossiping and talking.
Datong was attacked.
Somehow, a city wall in the northwest corner was actually buried with gunpowder in the ground, and with a loud bang, the wall collapsed several feet of gap.
All of a sudden, the whole of Datong fell into chaos.
The Tatars, on the other hand, were clearly preparing to attack.
At this time, it was too late to repair the city walls.
In the entire Datong Pass, the military and civilians have fallen into chaos.
A large number of merchants and ordinary people have begun to flee, and many people in nearby prefectures and counties have learned the news and are also preparing to go south with their families.
The scene when the Hu people in the north entered the customs is something that no one dares to forget.
Once they entered the customs, these people who were full of evil used their methods of beating grass and valleys to sweep around, rape and plunder, and do all kinds of evil.
Every time such a crisis occurs, countless white bones will be separated, countless wives will be separated, and families will be destroyed.
In this Datong Xiongguan, there are people who have been bought by the Tatars.
This is also unimaginable for people above the temple.
Datong ...... It may be falling.
This was the first thought that popped into everyone's mind.
Emperor Hongji was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao, who was standing in the temple, showed a smile and couldn't help but laugh.
Fang Jifan stood at the head of the British Gong Zhang Mao, and now that he has become a marquis, he can finally have a good position here, instead of standing in a corner.
He was quite close to the crown prince, and when he heard this laughter, his face suddenly turned miserable, and he only hated the position he was in, which was too dazzling, and unconsciously hid behind Zhang Mao's burly body.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why are you laughing?" Someone noticed Zhu Houzhao's laughter and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Just when everyone's hearts are in turmoil, they have to deal with this terrible crisis, and they are worried about it, children who love to laugh are always easy to be picked up.
Zhu Houzhao stood up and said word by word: "Your Majesty, Marquis Dingyuan, what I expected was good." ”
He stood up and looked at his worried father.
His father glared at him fiercely.
Even if the Tatars only invaded Datong, there are still hundreds of thousands of Beijing battalions in the Beijing Division, which can be safe, but once they enter the customs, it means that countless soldiers and civilians have suffered from the Tatars.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were about to bulge out, and he glared at him viciously.
Zhu Houzhao didn't think so, and said very calmly: "The Marquis of Dingyuan believes that the Tatars are not just angry to go south, but have other plans, that Tatar Khan is extremely cunning, this time to go south, its purpose is to cooperate with the bought Datong City, take Datong, and look at the Guannei." ”
Zhu Houzhao, who carefully analyzed the battle situation, was full of pride.
"Come to think of it, in the next, there is a mess in the Datong wall, they must go south with all their might, straight to Datong, after they arrived near Datong that day, they are already exhausted, and they will not rush to attack, but ...... will rest under the city for a day, so as to recharge and take Datong City in one fell swoop. ”
"The location where they are stationed, eight or nine times out of ten, is the nearest pass from Datong, here, surrounded by mountains on both sides, the front is Datong, retreat, there is only one passage, such a valley camp, is the best, when camping at night, do not worry that Datong blows up their bonfire, the mountains on both sides, can shield them from the wind, and do not worry about someone attacking at night, but ...... This also gave Erchen's Zhenguo Mansion an opportunity to take advantage of! ”
Fang Jifan had already expected it......
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
The ministers were in an uproar.
Some people think it's incredible.
Some people don't believe it.
There is also a glimmer of hope.
But...... Such a big thing is not child's play.
Once Datong falls, the consequences will be nothing less than the collapse of the heavens and the earth.
But some people still seemed flustered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are so confident, but you need to know...... This Tatar ......"
The one who spoke was a Hanlin scholar.
His voice trembled, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied with the prince's overly optimistic attitude.
You are the prince, the prince should think of the army and the people, and now the people are in danger, and they are still making nonsense in the temple, which is a big deserved.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty may not be able to do things well, but when it comes to the word dare to speak, it is well-deserved.
This is like skill, all these skill points, not on technology, nor on hands-on ability, or other abilities, but they are all on one mouth. Everyone's mouth has reached the god level, and they not only know how to speak, but also dare to say it!
One person spoke, and everyone responded and counterattacked Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, it really shouldn't be, now the military and people of Datong are caught in fire and water, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that the south of Datong has become an opportunity to take advantage of, but if there is a mistake, something goes wrong, what should I do?" Your Highness is self-respecting. ”
"Your Highness......"
Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed.
He thought that what he was studying with people in the court was a matter of tactics, wasn't it the Tatars? Isn't there a fatal gap in Datongguan? At this time, I didn't think about how to fight, but because of my attitude, I was criticized by everyone.
Zhu Houzhao was very angry in his heart, and he was angry for a while, and yelled at everyone: "Enough." ”
He glanced around at everyone and scolded angrily.
"The Tatars are here, and now what we are waiting for here is how to deal with the Tatars, how to fight the Tatars, and what kind of intention is this? Since you have the people in your heart, then go to Datong, in Datong, fight to the death with the Tatars, and talk verbose here, you have to let everyone put on a face like a mournful woman, open your mouth to the people, and close your mouth to what to do? ”
Zhu Houzhao's face turned blue, like an angry lion cub, and his eyes were red.
"When things come to this point, we should think about how to deal with it, calm down, and think about how to deal with it, instead of waiting here, like this, everyone only knows that the people of the dawn are here, what's the use? This Ming is my Zhu family, and the subjects are also the subjects of my father and the palace, do you love the people? ”
“……”
For a moment there was silence in the temple.
Fang Jifan almost suffocated.
He looked at the high-flying Emperor Hongzhi from afar, because he was far away, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't know what the emperor's expression and mood were now.
However, Emperor Hongzhi did not speak.
Apparently, he also thinks that his son has a point.
But......
As soon as I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to send them to Datong, I heard that the Crown Prince reprimanded them for only superficial work.
Many people almost fainted.
That's not what the prince should say.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can this be?
How can you say such heart-wrenching words, it is simply unbearable and unacceptable.
Someone cried.
The one who spoke before was the Hanlin Scholar.
But at this time, Zhan Shi Yang Tinghe's face was pale and uncertain, and he fell to his knees with a poof.
In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come to class at all, and as the Prince's teacher, he never taught the Prince, which has to be said to be a very ironic thing.
And now...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......
He knelt down and said bitterly, "How can Your Highness say such a thing...... How can the ministers accept such heart-wrenching words, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to send the ministers and others to the border town, the ministers and others have nothing to say. But His Royal Highness is a prince, and he treats his courtiers like this, and treats military affairs like child's play, Your Highness, ......"
Yang Tinghe cried.
Many people knelt down, as if they had been hurt by Zhu Houzhao's huge verbal violence, and they all wept bitterly: "The crime of death of the ministers, the ministers are also for the sake of the country, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say such a heart-wrenching word, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, His Royal Highness regards the minister as a mustard, so please ask His Royal Highness to punish him." ”
Fang Jifan hid in the shadows, and he already knew in his heart that Zhu Houzhao would never be able to play with them.
After all, ginger is still old and spicy
As soon as these people knelt, cried, and shouted, they had the name of loyalty and righteousness, which not only conformed to the Confucian moral norms, but also looked like they were willing to die for the sake of the court, and they were all killed, which completely put Zhu Houzhao into a position pointed out by ten thousand people.
