Just as Lu Zhen was worried, after the two good news entered Beijing City, the news had reached Wang Zhen who was in the palace.

After learning the news, he was so proud that he immediately left the celebrant and went to serve the Son of Heaven. In fact, as the eunuch in charge of the seal, his official duties on weekdays are no less than that of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor, so he can only find time to serve around him more.

But today, even if there is something important, Wang Zhen has to put it aside first and follow the emperor closely. He did this for two purposes, one was that if the military department wanted to conceal it, or if he wanted to delay the time with these two good news, then he could open his mouth and accuse them of bullying the king.

Of course, this is the best result, and it is almost impossible for Kuang Yu's sophistication to make such a mistake, and he will definitely report the good news to the Son of Heaven in time. At this time, Wang Zhen will be able to achieve his other goal, that is, to play right and wrong in front of the Son of Heaven, and to put the guilt of this Mongolian invasion on the person who advocates opening the field, especially that Lu Jin.

Presumably, in the face of this unexpected event, coupled with Zhu Qizhen's youth and vigor, Lu Zhen always has to suffer a big loss. Perhaps, in a fit of rage, the emperor would have dismissed him from his official position, and it would have been easy for him to remove him afterwards.

With a strong desire for hope, Wang Zhen soon came to the Dongnuan Pavilion where today's son was. Because of the growing cold, for the sake of the dragon body, Zhu Qizhen moved the place where he usually handles government affairs to this warm pavilion half a month ago.

Although it was freezing outside, it was warm as spring in this warm pavilion where there were several stoves and charcoal stoves were hidden in the four walls. The young monarch of a kingdom, dressed only in a single coat, was standing in front of the huge sand table and thinking about something.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was looking at the sand table made by Lu Jin, Wang Zhen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. But as soon as he thought that this thorn in the eye would soon be driven out of the court, he became happy again, and hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute: "The old slave came to serve Your Majesty." ”

"Oh? If I want to use troops against the Mongols in the north, should I send troops from Bauhinia Pass, or should I take a detour from Shanhaiguan? The former is better than direct, and the latter is unexpected, or it can kill them by surprise! Zhu Qizhen hurriedly waved his hand and said such a thing.

Zhu Qizhen, who is young and vigorous, yearning to become a wise and resolute king like Taizong, has been free in the past two months, and will always stand in front of this sand table to deduce the Northern Expedition. Of course, this is only when there are no foreign ministers who dare to do this, otherwise I am afraid that I will be persuaded by others and annoyed.

Wang Zhen naturally didn't dare to spoil the emperor's interest, so he hurriedly approached with a smile, and only after taking a closer look did he hesitate and said, "The old slave really doesn't know much about military affairs. But there is one thing that I have heard of, which is called the sophistry of soldiers. Since sending troops from Shanhaiguan was the most unexpected for the Tartars, it was time to choose this place. ”

"Oh? Do you think so too? Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed, in fact, he was more inclined to use troops against the north from here. Now with Wang Zhen's support, he finds more and more that there is no problem with his judgment.

But it was only a moment of joy, and then he sighed again: "It's a pity that it is very difficult for me to achieve this wish." Especially now that there are more exchanges and trades between the imperial court and Mongolians, and the relationship is closer, I am afraid that there will not even be a small friction, let alone a real war meeting. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to lead an army like Taizu Taizong......"

Seeing the lost appearance of the Son of Heaven, Wang Zhen's heart suddenly moved, maybe it was a good opportunity now. As long as you talk about the matter yourself, and then take the opportunity to mix up a few words, even if Kuang Yu and them really come, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and walk around. Moreover, even if he is wrong, the Son of Heaven will not blame, this can be regarded as completely invincible!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen moved slightly closer to the Son of Heaven, and opened his mouth to tell the story of the two victories in the north. But as soon as the words reached his mouth, before he could say it, the voice of a eunuch outside the warm pavilion rang out: "Your Majesty, Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian, and Lu Jin, the waiter, are asking to see you outside the palace." ”

This sentence directly blocked Wang Zhen's provocative words, making him feel annoyed, and immediately wrote down this voice. In two days, I will find a reason to rectify this guy who has ruined his own good deeds. And what made him feel even more unhappy was Kuang Yu's reaction, they didn't even wait a day, they entered the palace so quickly, and even Lu Zhen followed, which completely frustrated his best plan.

"Oh? Declare them to come in and speak. Zhu Qizhen didn't know what kind of mood the cronies around him were in at the moment, so he nodded without hesitation.

So far, Wang Zhen didn't want to say anything, but followed the Son of Heaven back to the imperial case, and stood behind him honestly. Anyway, he has to stay in the warm pavilion, so it will be good to cause chaos for people when the time comes, right?

After a while, the Son of Heaven reviewed two more notes, and only then did someone outside communicate again, saying that several officials were waiting to see them outside. Only then did Zhu Qizhen put down the brush in his hand and nodded at Wang Zhen.

Even if he was reluctant, Wang Zhen could only say according to the rules: "Xuan!" ”

With this answer, the closed door was silently opened, and the three military officials walked in one after another, followed by a salute from the monarch and the ministers.

After they got up and asked people to prepare a brocade pier for Kuang Yu to sit down, Zhu Qizhen said with some curiosity: "Kuang Qing, did you suddenly come together to see me at this time, but something big happened?" ”

The eyes of the three exchanged slightly, and Kuang Yu nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." Earlier today, two good news suddenly came from the north, and the minister did not dare to specialize, so he hurriedly entered the palace to perform. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned, and said in disbelief: "North? Good news? But did there any war break out with the Mongols? ”

"Positive...... Precisely. As Kuang Yu spoke, he had already handed over the two good news from his sleeve, and continued in his mouth: "Just half a month ago, several Mongolian tribes suddenly found an excuse to invade our Daming border town. ”

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Isn't it said that the recent establishment of more camps in the border areas has greatly improved the relationship between my Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian people? The Son of Heaven finally changed his face and asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" Kwong Yu was really hard to answer for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Qizhen had already taken the two good news, and quickly looked at them, but did not continue to ask. It's just that the more he looks, the more his two eyebrows are twisted together, and he looks even more unhappy. In the end, he slapped them on the table and shouted: "How unreasonable is this! Those barbarians are really easy to deceive my court! ”

Seeing that Long Yan was furious, the three courtiers hurriedly saluted again, and exclaimed: "I hope Your Majesty will calm your anger, don't be angry with the dragon body." ”

"Hmph, I opened a field to show my sincerity, and exchanged all the property that I was unwilling to do with them to them, it's not that we're afraid of them, but it's just for long-term peace and stability, and less damage to human lives. But they're good, it's clear that they have to make inches! The Son of Heaven continued to say a few words angrily, and then waved his hand to get them up.

After the three of them stood up, Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Lu Jin: "Lu Jin, you took the lead in proposing this matter and advocated it again, what do you think about this?" ”

"The minister knows the crime, but the minister sees the opportunity and missees the greed of those people." Lu Jin hurriedly bent down and admitted his mistake: "The minister entered the palace today to ask His Majesty for his guilt." ”

"Hmph, you're self-aware." The emperor was angry at this time, so naturally he had nothing to say.

And Wang Zhen, who was behind him, was overjoyed when he saw this. It would be great if the Son of Heaven dismissed Lu Zhen from his official position in a fit of rage.

It's a pity that soon, his wish will come to fruition. I saw Kuang Yu suddenly play: "Your Majesty has a word to play." ”

"Say." Although annoyed, Zhu Qizhen still nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, although this matter of opening the field was mentioned by Lu Jin, it was also jointly promoted by the Manchu courtiers. Even officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are in favor of using business to resolve disputes between the two sides. Although in the end, it seems that this method is a little inappropriate, but the blame cannot be fully attributed to Lu Jin. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty......" Yu Qian also then played: "The minister thinks that Lu Jin's proposal of this law is also out of a heart of worry for the country and the king, even if something really goes wrong, he can't be blamed alone." If Your Majesty really wants to be punished, the minister is willing to accept it! ”

"The minister is also willing to be guilty of the same crime as Lu Jin, after all, this matter is also allowed by the minister, if there is a mistake, the minister will not escape the involvement!" Kuang Yu also followed with such a sentence.

Wang Zhen hated a lot in his heart, but he couldn't speak at this time, so he could only scan the three of them with a gloomy gaze. They are really smart, they rushed to the Son of Heaven to admit their mistakes before they made a move, and under the protection of this Shangshu and the squire, the Son of Heaven really wouldn't do anything to Lu Jin.

Zhu Qizhen was really as Wang Zhen expected, and the momentum just now was weak, and he sighed: "You all get up, I am by no means a stupid king who arbitrarily offends others." Lu Jin's intention in proposing this method is naturally good, and I understand this. However, the current situation is also seen by everyone, the court is disgraced, someone has to bear it, right? ”

Lu Zhen looked at the two bosses beside him gratefully, and then gritted his teeth forward: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." However, before His Majesty convicted the minister, the minister still had a few words to say. ”
