Chapter 663: Defeat is decided
No one doesn't want their children to grow up as soon as possible, but everyone's path is different, like Xiao Ye Zhen's identity, his growth and maturity are destined to be different from other children of the same age, and when he understands that his supreme position has always been threatened by his respected father, the break between father and son is not far away.
Ye Xun is very willing to see his son grow up and mature, but he is just a son! Don't you think you're too young?
If Xiao Ye Zhen came back and told Ye Xun what he saw and heard in the camp, Ye Xun would not have so many ideas, but after this kid came back, he didn't say a word about what he saw and heard in the camp, so Ye Xun couldn't help but think about it.
Is it a child who has a lot of sex and forgot to say it?
Ye Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, and for a while he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
But no matter what, if Xiao Ye Zhen really has such a scheming, Ye Xun will still be happy, because this is a city that an emperor must have.
After the army stayed at Shanhaiguan for a day, it continued to march eastward, and the armies of all parts of Liaodong had already assembled in place, just waiting for Ye Xun.
The day after Ye Xun and his entourage left the Third Customs, Fang Zhenru and Liu Zongzhou arrived.
Although they have absolute confidence in Ye Xun, there is a case in everything if it is not, and the emperor is young, and he has no brothers and descendants, if there is really any mistake, who can afford this responsibility?
And in the subconscious of these courtiers, there is no idea that the emperor is just a decoration as before, just like now, the emperor is put on a show when he goes to court, and everything is solved by the ministers, isn't it good! What is the emperor doing to understand so much?
The two adults are obviously a little too taken for granted, although this is a great tomorrow, but the army no longer only obeys the orders of the imperial court, at least when Ye Xun is there.
When the two adults came to Guanxia, they were told that because of the Mingjin War, Shanhaiguan had been temporarily closed for five days, and no one was allowed to leave the customs without the will of His Majesty the Emperor or the Queen Mother.
Fang Zhenru and Liu Zongzhou listened to the words of the guards, and their noses were almost crooked.
The two knew very well that the only one who could give an order to the Shanhaiguan guards was Ye Xun, in other words, without Ye Xun's order, they could only wait for the switch to pass five days later.
What does it mean that Xiucai meets a soldier and can't be explained? The current situation is that no matter how the two coerce and lure, the guards just don't listen, and finally hide and disappear.
You must know that the three customs are the most important channels for communication inside and outside the customs, and there are more than two adults who are in a hurry to pass the customs.
However, the notice on the city wall clearly states that it is wartime, and those who make trouble will be punished as collaborating with the enemy.
There is such a notice, even if there is a big grievance, you have to endure it, and the charge of collaborating with the enemy will be deducted, let alone doing business, and it is difficult to say whether you can keep your head or not.
Fortunately, the retreat is only five days, so wait five days!
The merchants and the people can wait, but the two elders can't wait! The old arms and legs couldn't stand the toss, so the two of them sent someone to ask the Queen Mother for instructions, and then stayed in the temporary inn outside the gate.
After dinner, Liu Zongzhou came to Fang Zhenru's room, waved off the subordinates, and then quietly looked at Fang Zhenru for a while before saying, "Lord Fang, what do you think Gonggong Ye's intention is?" ”
Fang Zhenru snorted coldly and said: "No intentions, the first emperor only has such an heir left, if there is really any mistake, his surname Ye will definitely be the number one sinner in the Ming Dynasty, the old man has fought for this old life, and he will fight to the death."
Liu Zongzhou smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, you are so old, how can you learn from young people, and you have to be brave."
The old man suddenly reacted, looked at Liu Zongzhou and said, "Lord Liu has something to say, but it's okay to say it."
Liu Zongzhou stepped down as Shuntianfu Yin three years ago, and then became a professor at the Imperial University, where he also served as the teacher of the little emperor.
In the past six years, Liu Zongzhou has been recognized by the court both as an official, as a scholar or as a person.
Fang Zhenru's personal relationship with Liu Zongzhou is also very good, as long as it is something that Liu Zongzhou advocates, he will also strongly approve of it.
Liu Zongzhou subconsciously looked left and right, and then said: "Lord Fang, the matter has come to this point, even if we catch up, I am afraid that we will not be able to snatch His Majesty back, but through this incident, I feel that Gonggong Ye's control over His Majesty is not too tight?" ”
Listening to Liu Zongzhou's words, Fang Zhenru couldn't help but be silent, yes! Except for Liu Zongzhou, the emperor, even with an important minister of the court like him, he usually can't contact the emperor, and he usually doesn't feel anything, but now after Liu Zongzhou mentioned it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
I only heard Liu Zongzhou continue: "It is undeniable that Gonggong Ye has made great contributions to the court and the people of the world, but this cannot hide the fact that he is greedy for power, Your Majesty is growing up day by day, if you always let Gonggong Ye control Your Majesty like this, when will Your Majesty be able to govern in person?" ”
"Ye Gonggong's achievements cannot be denied, but the world is the world of scholars after all, if Ye Gonggong can stop as soon as possible, maybe he will have a good death, if it really comes to the day when he is inseparable from His Majesty..."
Speaking of this, Liu Zongzhou didn't say any more, but he couldn't stop shaking his head, but he had already revealed his thoughts.
Of course, Fang Zhenru understood the key to this, but what could he do, the army had always been under Ye Xun's absolute control, and without the support of the army, any ideas they had could only be utopian.
And the most critical point is that if Ye Xun is forced to be in a hurry, what if he plays any tricks to set up a new monarch.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”
"Too good an idea, no, but I think our hope is in His Majesty"
"Oh! What do you mean by that? ”
"I have been a teacher for Your Majesty for three years, Your Majesty gives me the impression that I am very intelligent, and I can often draw inferences from one another, and over time, I will be a generation of Ming Jun, and I asked Your Majesty, Ye Gonggong spared no effort to teach His Majesty, and His Majesty's feelings for Ye Gonggong should be very complicated"
Hearing this, Fang Zhenru understood a little, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "According to what you mean, we don't have to be too concerned about Gonggong Ye bringing His Majesty out this time?" ”
"What should be said, we still have to say it, we have to let Gonggong Ye and His Majesty know our attitude, otherwise Your Majesty thinks it's better to go out than stay in the palace, what if you get used to it?"
"Good! We waited for him for five days, and when we saw it, how did the surnamed Ye face us? ”
Old man Fang was really angry, such a big matter, he didn't even say a word in the court, what did he think of the court? Did they open it from the Ye family?
Lao Fang really thought right, Da Ming was in fact, already surnamed Ye, and if the emperor was not Ye Xun's son, no matter what they did, there would be no problem.
But everything is afraid but, isn't it? ...
