Today, Zheng Yongji, as always, sent the Warat envoys away, and only then did he return to the Donghua Pavilion to discuss with everyone whether to send troops to aid Warat.

According to Zheng Yongji's own meaning, if he can't save it, he won't save it.

Because, since the founding of the Great Zhou, the surrounding countries or forces that pose the greatest threat to the Great Zhou have always been Warat, and they have never changed in the past 200 years.

The other forces around it are not without a threat to the Great Zhou, but most of them are like tickling, just fighting on the border of the Great Zhou for a while, and they cannot form a real threat to the Great Zhou at all.

It's like the Kazakh rebellion that had just been put down two years ago.

But Warat is different, these two hundred years, for the Great Zhou, Warat is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty drove the conquest in person, but weakened some of the vitality of Warat, as long as after one or two decades of recuperation, Warat is still the most powerful force around the Great Zhou.

In the past 200 years, this situation has not changed.

In Zheng Yongji's view, it is the same now.

At present, although Warat is temporarily attached to the Great Zhou, it is all based on the strong national strength of the Great Zhou.

If there is turmoil in the Great Zhou, or if Warat's own strength is further expanded, it must still be the biggest threat to the Great Zhou.

Therefore, Zheng Yongji can be said to spare no effort to suppress Warat.

Of course, there is also Zheng Yongji's selfishness at work.

Today, Zheng Yongji can be said to want power and power, and he wants money and money.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, Zheng Yongji can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand, and his power is naturally very great. Especially after the overthrow of Gao Pei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zheng Yongji's power was further expanded.

Of course, Zheng Yongji has money, which does not mean that the money was obtained by him from corruption and bribery.

Cheng Yongji is not an honest person, but he also disdains corruption.

Zheng Yongji's money was all accumulated by himself.

As has been introduced before, Zheng Yongji's calligraphy can be said to be the best in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words 'one word and a thousand gold'.

So Zheng Yongji is not short of money.

In addition, Zheng Yongji's wife is very good at managing money, and the family's money is naturally increasing day by day.

That's why Zheng Yongji now wants money and power.

Compared with power and money, Zheng Yongji undoubtedly values his name more after his death.

The civil ministers and military generals of all dynasties hope that their names can leave a strong mark on the history books.

But for thousands of years, except for the beginning of the founding of all dynasties, which dynasty's ministers can be known?

Therefore, during his tenure as the first assistant to the cabinet, if Zheng Yongji wants to leave a name in history, he must do something that does not say that there is no one before or since, but at least it is something that cannot be ignored in the history books.

Undoubtedly, what happened to Warat now, Zheng Yongji felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just like the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization, how many heroes can really open up the territory and expand the territory?

These people have all left their own colorful strokes in the history books.

Therefore, Zheng Yongji also wants his name to be like a sage, once it is mentioned, it will be extremely praised.

Therefore, Zheng Yongji can be said to spare no effort to oppose Da Zhou's sending troops to support Warat now.

Now, there is another group of strongmen who have invaded Warat, and Da Zhou can just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Warat and the Rus are both defeated, Da Zhou will take the opportunity to send troops.

Of course, when the time comes, the Great Zhou will come forward, not to help Warat, but to completely cut off Warat, and when the time comes, it will open up 5,000 miles of territory, but I am afraid that it is not a vain statement.

As soon as the war is removed, whether it is Zhang Lingyang, the son of heaven, or himself, the first assistant of the cabinet, or the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, they will all be famous for centuries.

This is a great feat of opening up the territory, who is not impressed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?

As for why he didn't report this matter back to Zhang Lingyang?

Zheng Yongji believes that what is happening in Warat now is not a big deal at all.

What's more, judging from Zhang Lingyang's previous style, if he knew about this, he was afraid that nine times out of ten he would send troops to support Warat.

This is not what Zheng Yongji wants to see, nor is it what the Manchu civil and military are willing to see.

Therefore, with the acquiescence of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, Zheng Yongji suppressed the news and did not transmit it to Zhang Lingyang.

But this does not mean that no one is against it.

Li Guangtai, the imperial history of the left capital, once again stood on the opposite side of Zheng Yongji.

Previously, in order to bring down Gao Pei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zheng Yongji and Li Guangtai had cooperated.

But the honeymoon period between the two is too short.

No, less than three months after Gao Pei died, Li Guangtai once again stood on the opposite side of Zheng Yongji.

Looking at Zheng Yongji, who was sitting on the throne with a smile on his face, Li Guangtai blew his beard and glared: "Elder Zheng Ge, it's not the old man who threatens you, you do this, but you are guilty of bullying the king!" ”

"Old man, this is for Your Majesty, for the sake of Da Zhou!" Zheng Yongji said in 'righteous words', "Whether it is the current Wara, or the previous Turks and Xiongnu, they are all the henchmen of my Han people."

Now, it is rare to have a way to hurt the vitality of Warat, even if the old man deceives the king, what can he do?

Besides, could it be that you, Li Guangtai, have not committed the crime of deceiving the monarch before? ”

The meaning of Zheng Yongji's words is obvious.

Before Gao Pei's incident, Li Guangtai was suspected of concealing it and not reporting it, otherwise, Gao Pei would not have died like this.

"You ......" Seeing Zheng Yongji say this, Li Guangtai trembled with anger, but he couldn't say anything from the side.

After all, what he did before was indeed suspected of defrauding the king.

"Is it difficult?" Zheng Yongji squinted at Li Guangtai and asked, "You Li Guangtai accepted the benefits of Warat, so you spoke for Warat?" ”

What Li Guangtai cares about most is his name, and when Zheng Yongji said this, it can be regarded as catching Li Guangtai's sore feet.

Where is Li Guangtai willing, he grabbed Zheng Yongji's arm and didn't let go, "Elder Zheng Ge, the old man respects you as the first assistant of the cabinet, but you can't humiliate the old man in vain."

You have to make this matter clear today, or the old man won't stop with you! ”

See Cheng Yong-kee. Li Guangtai and the two quarreled, and Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, opened his mouth to persuade: "Both of them are important ministers of the imperial court, what kind of system is this?" Say it and don't let outsiders laugh at it? ”

Other ministers also spoke one after another to persuade him, and Li Guangtai gave up.

But when I looked at Zheng Yongji, I never had a good face.

Grinding and chirping, half a day passed, and everyone still didn't convince Li Guangtai.

In the end, Zheng Yongji clapped his hand and said: "The old man is the first assistant of the cabinet, if His Majesty blames him, all the blame will be borne by the old man." ”

Seeing Zheng Yongji say this, no one here has an opinion.

Even Li Guangtai, who didn't like Zheng Yongji, just sighed, got up and shook his sleeves, and walked out of the gate of Donghua Pavilion......
