153. A change in people's hearts under the overall situation
Obviously, the deceased emperor is laying out an overall situation, and this bureau has wrapped the Taiyuan royal family in, and at this time, the Taiyuan royal family or the queen mother Wang family discovered this bureau for some reason, so they didn't care about offending His Majesty today, and they also wanted to cut off Wang Cheng, the left servant of the household who might affect the Wang family or weaken the Wang family, and completely let the Wang family get out of this bureau.
Of course, these are just speculations in Sun Xiao's own heart, but he will not open his mouth to say it to Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang.
Because what Sun Xiao could think of, Zheng Zhuang could also think of, the two glanced at each other, they knew each other, tacitly, and smiled at each other, but they revealed the topic.
It's just that they underestimated after all, underestimating the emperor who sat on the imperial chair three months ago and calmly looked down on the world!
Zheng Zhuang picked up the fishing rod on the ground again, squeezed it firmly in his hand, looked at the empty lotus pond, and said again: "This time, the seventh brother of this king was imprisoned, so many people took action, presumably the seventh brother of this king will also help, what do you think, what should I do?" ”
Sun Xiao listened, put away the smile on his face, and then said calmly: "Prince, as the eldest son of the first emperor, the eldest brother of His Majesty, and was named the King of Yan, inside and outside the court, the prince is the most valuable, seeing that His Majesty and the six major families in the north led by the Taiyuan royal family are going to have a fight, why should the prince get involved?" Besides, the prince is involved, and His Majesty may not appreciate it. ”
"On the surface, this is obviously because of the matter of Tang Prince Zheng Jiao, which triggered this fight, but why is it not a struggle between the imperial power and the family?"
"Fifty years ago, your grandfather, Emperor Sejong, used iron and blood and the army to deter the family, and then used means to divide and disintegrate the power of the family, and the power of the family was also hit hard. But in recent years, the family has gradually recovered, and they are not reconciled, and they also hope to gain greater power and have a greater say in the court. Otherwise, if there is only one Tang King, why should the six families of the North Land speak together? ”
"They are afraid, they see the shadow of Emperor Sejong in His Majesty today, and they never want to go back to the days when they were afraid of the past. Therefore, the action of the six major families in the north this time is not only a test of Your Majesty, a test of Your Majesty's attitude towards the family, because of a Tang king, these families can still retreat, but also want Your Majesty to see the strength of the family, because in this era of great changes, everyone will have a different position to participate, and the family is no exception, they also need to find their own accurate positioning. ”
"Therefore, in this fight, it is better for the prince not to participate, the prince is a courtier after all, he cannot represent the imperial power, and if he participates, the prince will only be resisted by the Northland family, and if he participates, His Majesty will take it for granted, but His Majesty will not trust you."
After Sun Xiao finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zheng Zhuang listened, but he was silent, he knew in his heart that as a former candidate for the crown prince, there will always be a pimple in the heart of His Majesty Zheng Wen today, and there will always be distrust, at this moment, no matter what he does, in the heart of His Majesty today, it will always be magnified, it will be doubted, and once the seeds of doubt are planted, there will be disadvantages for himself who has given up the struggle for the throne.
I am afraid that there will be many obstacles to my plan to enter the court and establish a meritorious career in the future, but in this matter, I have let go of the opportunity to speak out and show my face, and I am still unwilling!
At this time, Zheng Zhuang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and after a long time, he said: "Sir, this king is still unwilling, if you miss this opportunity, watch coldly, fall silent, and don't speak again, those henchmen of Lone are afraid that they will forget about Lone, which is greatly disadvantageous to this king." ”
Sun Xiao listened, nodded, and then said: "What the prince said is not bad, the prince's power in the court is still not small, the so-called people go to tea and cool, the prince does not speak, after a long time, they are afraid that they will have their own thoughts, but the prince has thought clearly?" This time, the prince will obviously do more harm than good, and the prince is afraid that there will be many opponents in the future, after all, the family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
"What's the matter? It's not a person on the same path, so what if you offend? The big dry can only be the big dry of the Zheng family, the clown who jumps off the beam, but he is enough! After listening to Sun Xiao's words, Zheng Zhuang said domineeringly.
Looking at the pond full of lotus ponds, he spoke again: "This king is the descendant of the Taizu, and the blood of the Zheng family flows in his blood. ”
At this time, Zheng Zhuang, with a calm face, was full of pride, let go of all ambitions, and he was also a hot-blooded hero!
Suddenly, the white feathers floating on the pond sinked down sharply, Zheng Zhuang saw it, pinched the fishing rod, and lifted it up, and a big fish bit the hook and jumped out of the water.
……
In the evening, the sun sets, and the golden glow puts on a layer of xia clothes for the ancient Yanjing City, making this giant city more tall and majestic, like a big man in a high position, looking at the sea at the foot of the sea, thinking about the sea, exploring the sea, and looking forward to the sea.
When Zheng Wen raised his head, the Daming Palace had already lit up the Wanzhang Palace lamp.
At this time, Zheng Wen was reading Yin Jialiang's "Opening the Sea Fold" in Yanjing Mansion, looking at a huge map hanging on the imperial study alone.
This map is the map of the territory of the Great Qian, it is still very fine, along the coastline marks the East China Sea, the West Sea, the South China Sea, the North Sea, in addition to marking the islands such as the Wa Kingdom and Liuqiu, it is all gray, this is the symbol of the sea, obviously the Han nation at this time, although it has begun to gradually realize the sea, but the sea is still unfamiliar.
Turning to the land part, there are three major water systems of the big rivers and the Pearl River, along which many cities are marked by the big rivers and rivers, and the dotted lines are densely drawn, which is the county division of the great Qian.
In the southern corner of the Daqian territory map, the area of Dali in Annan is marked, Annan is a geographical term, and Dali is a national noun. To the northwest, there is a small area, marked by the "Xia", surrounded by the Mongols and the Great Qian, which was the Western Xia founded by Li Yuanhao.
The other areas are marked with the words "Mongolia", which is the area that belongs to Mongolia, but obviously this area is a large area of gray, almost one and a half times the size of the Daqian area, which is the territory of Mongolian rule, except for a few scattered signs of the city words, there is nothing else, not that I don't want to mark it in detail, in fact, the Mongol-ruled area is vast and sparsely populated, and the Daqian can't understand how big Mongolia is, in fact, the Mongols at this time can't figure out how big their own territory is, and most of the maps in the hands of the Mongols at this time are obtained by Daqian.
Zheng Wen looked at the huge Mongolian region with the lights on, and still admired the generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan Temujin who established Mongolia and fought in the east and west, this is a political and military genius, and a great opponent of his grandfather Emperor Sejong's contemporaries!
But admiration is admiration, as long as there is a chance, Zheng Wen will not hesitate to attack Mongolia, this has nothing to do with feelings, only politics, as an emperor who wants to make a difference, as far as his eyes can see, he does not want to exist an opponent who can compete with himself, only a dead opponent is a good opponent in Zheng Wen's heart.
Zheng Wen thought so, just like Kublai Khan's heart, as long as there is a chance to destroy the great cadres, he will not hesitate to act, Zheng Wen also thinks so in his heart. Two contemporaneous opponents, one controls Mongolia and the other controls Daqian, just like the grandfathers of the two supreme rulers thirty years ago, ready to extinguish each other, but thirty years ago, the grandfathers of the two fought a draw, and thirty years later, what will be the end?
Suddenly, Huang An walked in from the outside, saluted Zheng Wen's back, and then said, "Emperor! ”
Zheng Wen said without looking back: "Say, what's the matter?" I'm listening. ”
Huang An listened, and then said again: "Emperor, the old slave has generally checked clearly, for the matter of Tang Wangye, the reason why the Wang family made a move is because the Wang family saw the danger and wanted to stop the loss in time, it turned out that the first emperor ......"
Zheng Wen listened to the cause and effect, it turned out that this was just a thousand transactions between Concubine Xie Gui and the Queen Mother Wang, he nodded before he spoke: "The Wang family is still a good acquaintance, but I just thought that I would not pursue it if I revealed the deliberate and released it to me with kindness, and I was borrowing my hand to get rid of Wang Cheng's dead fish?" I still want to give them face, but I'm not so generous. He said coldly.
Huang An listened, but asked with a confused face: "Emperor, this is the old slave's East Factory took a lot of effort to find out, how can it ......?"
"How could it be?" Before Huang An finished speaking, he interrupted and said: "My queen mother can stand in this palace without a child for more than ten years, how can she be a simple person, she didn't deliberately reveal it, how could you find out so quickly?" ”
Zheng Wen paused for a moment before he said again: "That's it, the reason why I was able to ascend the throne is that she contributed after all, and I can't be ungrateful, after all, the courtiers are all watching, that's it, so be it!" He said paradoxically.
Huang An on the side listened, but he was even more confused, but he didn't dare to ask again, but he felt that the Wang family was afraid that this time it would pass.
It's just that Zheng Wen, as an emperor, sits on the imperial chair and looks down on the world, accepts the worship of the people of the world, and controls the life and death of thousands of people, his mind is weird and unpredictable, how can he be understood by a eunuch?
Zheng Wen paused for a moment before he spoke: "Big companion, what's wrong with this bad person?" ”
