Chapter Eighty-Eight: I Did Something Wrong
Qianqing Palace, upper study.
"Zhang Fu, do you have any doubts?"
Zhang Fu's face was like earth, and he quickly knelt on the ground, trembling like chaff, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty's grace, Your Majesty treats Zhang Fu and the Zhang family with the grace of heaven and earth, although Weichen's broken bones are not enough to report in case, I hope Your Majesty will see it!" ”
"Ahh
Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly, got up and walked in front of Zhang Fu, helped him up, looked at his frightened eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Wen Bi, last time I was in Beijing, I told you that I was not guilty of the past, why didn't you believe me?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"
Zhang Fu's hand was grabbed by Zhu Yunwen, and he didn't dare to break free, so he could only bow his head and say, "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare!" ”
"Come, sit down!"
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, then asked Liu Zhen to take the stool and let Zhang Fu sit down.
Zhang Fulian said that he didn't dare, but Zhu Yunwen insisted, he had to sit down, but he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, leaned forward, and looked like he was about to kneel down at any time......
"Wen Bi,"
Zhu Yunwen turned around and sat on the dragon chair, looked at Zhang Fu, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Bi, do you still remember the martial arts of Hongwu for twenty-six years?" ”
"Remember, Weichen - he was a student of martial arts at that time!"
"Yes, as soon as I became the prince, I created the martial arts, you were the first batch of students, and you were also the best students in that group at that time, it's a pity-"
"Your Majesty, the last general was then—"
Hearing this, Zhang Fu immediately lost his soul, immediately knelt on the ground, and said astringently: "The last general ——, Your Majesty at that time, and the last general will die!" ”
Looking at Zhang Fu, who was crying bitterly, Zhu Yunwen did not speak.
After a long time, when Zhang Fu's crying became smaller, Zhu Yunwen asked him to help him up, and then said: "Wen Bi, I didn't blame you, I don't blame you for what happened back then, in fact, back then, I did it wrong!" ”
"Your Majesty—"
Zhang Fu was shocked, and couldn't help but look up at the emperor, and then felt that something was wrong, and quickly knelt on the ground: "The sinners don't dare, it's all the fault of the sinners!" ”
After the words were spoken, Zhu Yunwen's face also calmed down, to be honest, for many years, Zhu Yunwen has not admitted his mistakes to anyone, so he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and it was difficult to speak.
And Liu Zhen next to him couldn't hide his surprised look, but he didn't dare to look at the emperor, but lowered his head, looked at Zhang Fu carefully, and secretly wondered in his heart: What is so special about this Zhang Fu?
"Zhang Fu, if I had ordered the military department to transfer your father and son away from King Yan, maybe things wouldn't be the way they are today!"
"Of course, I also have a hard time, Emperor Gao was still alive at that time, and I didn't want to make his old man sad, and I didn't want to show Tu Yan's heart so obviously."
"I originally planned to wait for me to ascend the throne before dealing with you and your father's affairs, but it was already a little late by then, your sister had already entered the Yan King's Mansion, and moving you would inevitably stimulate the Yan King, I didn't want to take this risk at that time, and with the situation at that time, I didn't dare to trust your father and son, after all—alas—"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"
"Sometimes I think it's all fate, but some time ago, when I was reading the "New Tang Dynasty Book", I suddenly became enlightened, and the white-clothed prime minister Li Mi once said: 'The husband is already the word. The Lord creates his life, not his words. If you say something, you will not reward the good and punish the evil! ’”
"Your father and son are just pawns of King Yan, I could change your fate back then, but for various reasons, I didn't do it, so I did it wrong at that time!"
"No, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Fu kowtowed again and again, and sobbed: "Your Majesty, it is the minister's father and son who have failed the emperor's grace, please give your majesty the death of Weichen, and the minister will never complain at all, but Weichen implores Your Majesty to let Weichen's family go!" ”
Zhang Fu's forehead slammed on the floor tiles, and there was a "bangbang" sound, and soon there were blood marks on the floor tiles, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Stop him!" ”
Liu Zhen hurriedly rushed over and helped Zhang Fu: "Wu Anbo, don't do this!" ”
"Wu Anbo, Your Majesty is in front, don't lose your honor in front of you!"
......
After a long time, Zhang Fu stopped his sorrowful voice, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I Zhang Fu swear here, my Zhang family swears to be loyal to Your Majesty, my heart is like a rock, it is not easy to eternity, even if the axe is added, it will not be shaken in the slightest, if this oath is violated, people and gods will abandon it, and the soul will fall into the infernal hell forever after death, although it will not be liberated for eternity." ”
Zhang Fu's words were categorical and sonorous, which shocked Liu Zhen's ears a little buzzing, and Zhu Yunwen also showed a smile: "Hurry up, Wen Bi, you don't have to be like this!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After taking the poisonous oath, Zhang Fu seemed to calm down, got up and sat down, still so respectful, but it was as if some burden had been removed from his body, and his waist no longer looked so stiff......
"That's good, that's good!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Wen Bi, over the years, you have killed countless Jurchens in the Northeast, and you are known as the 'butcher', and at the same time, you have been seriously injured five times and have been in a coma three times, and I am very distressed after hearing this. ”
"So when I was in Beijing, I promoted you to the commander of the Guards, because I thought you didn't need to be in danger, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in the northwest, you made another thousand-mile attack, and I was sweating at that time!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"
Zhang Fu was a little embarrassed, but also a little moved, he didn't expect the emperor to value him so much, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Coupled with the resignation of the knighthood the day before yesterday, I know that you have always had a knot in your heart, and you are worried that I will settle accounts after the autumn, right?"
"You're wrong, since I said that I am not guilty of the past, I will never bring up the past again."
"When I forgive you, I want to reuse you, do you understand?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified, and the ministers are dying—"
Zhang Fu knelt down again!
......
"Wen Bi, I plan to send you to Annam, are you willing?"
"Annan?"
Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go!" ”
"Hehe, that's good!" Zhu Yunwen smiled: "So, Wen Bi, do you know anything about Annan?" ”
"This,"
Zhang Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen only knows that the Chen clan of Annan was usurped, and His Majesty sent the navy and the Second Army of the Guards to Annan to help Chen Tianping restore the throne. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "For Annan, my plan is no different from North Korea, Chen Tianping will either be Li Chenggui or Li Fangyuan, there is no third red choice, do you understand?" ”
"Minister-understood!"
Zhang Fu's eyelids jumped and nodded.
"Now Cao Yushu and Chen Tianping have arrived in Annan and are preparing to build Anhai City according to the plan, and Li Jiyak did not go to Anhai City to meet Chen Tianping, but sent an envoy to Daming, but I ignored him and prepared to deal with it after the year."
"As for how to conquer Annam, my idea is this, using Anhai City as a base, giving full play to the naval superiority, destroying all the sailors in the coastal areas of Annam, and ensuring the safety of our army's supply lines."
"At the same time, we should adopt a step-by-step strategy, fight steadily and steadily, and try our best to consume Annan's manpower and material resources, so that it will not dare to rebel."
"As for the post-war period, Annan will set up a guard post to replace the local people with the people of Liangguang and Yunnan, so that there can be long-term peace and stability!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Also, if you can include Annan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I will let you follow the example of the Mu family in Yunnan and Yongzhen Annan! Would you like to? ”
"Thank Your Majesty for your grace, the minister will do his best to recover Annan for His Majesty!"
Zhang Fu bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice.
