Chapter 703: Pretending to be crazy
Things are really embarrassing, Zhao Zhen's old face is flushed, and his face that has been pale for many days finally turned red, it's just that this red is not normal......
Kings and courtiers, especially courtiers, were very difficult to deal with...... In the past, Zhao Zhen has always given Wang Ningan unconditional trust, and Wang Ningan also reciprocated with sincerity, but as he got older and his health deteriorated, he had to think more about the prince, so naturally, he had to restrict Wang Ningan.
This time, the Qin mission was sent to the northwest out of this mentality.
But his little distrust was infinitely magnified, causing a catastrophe, Zhao Zhen blamed himself for dying, so he vomited blood, and now he was pierced by Chen Lin, the old eunuch actually speculated about his holy will, and only drafted the holy decree.
Even if he knows that nonsense is a prevarication, but now that it is now, how can Zhao Zhen explain it?
How can he say that he can eliminate Wang Ningan's suspicions?
And this kind of thing makes it clear that between the monarch and the minister, a decision must be made, do you want to abolish Wang Ning'an?
Don't say that Zhao Zhen can't make up his mind, even if he does, does he have the strength?
And the crown prince is also here, at a young age, without Wang Ning'an's protection, can he take power smoothly? There have been fewer things in the palace over the years?
There are countless pairs of eyes staring in the dark, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and they have reached the point where they can do everything...... As soon as Zhao Zhen thought of this, his head was about to explode, his body was already not good, and he was even more sweaty and shaky this time.
Zhao Shu was furious, he was about to hit with his fist!
"What a shameless old dog! In order to shirk the blame, you dare to blame your father, you are crazy! I, I'll kill you! ”
"Slow!"
Wang Ningan hurriedly stopped the prince and shook his head at him.
"Your Highness, Rong Chen asks a few words."
The prince huffed, "Sir, this old thing will talk nonsense, don't believe him!" ”
Wang Ningan smiled and nodded, and when he turned to Chen Lin, he instantly became solemn.
"Gonggong Chen, you said that Your Majesty was suspicious of me, so you issued an edict for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty only asked the armies in front to cooperate, and did not mean to send troops, right?"
"This ...... Naturally, there is none. Chen Lin said in a low voice.
"Then Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu sent troops, is it against the holy decree?"
"Yes...... Yes, it's all to blame for the old slave's negligence and being deceived by them. ”
Wang Ningan smiled faintly again, "Gonggong Chen, when did the news of Yuzang Huama's surrender come?" ”
Chen Lin was a little stunned!
Wang Ningan sneered, "It should be before the Qin mission leaves, right?" How else do you make a plan? When did Your Majesty know about this? Have you ever deceived the king? ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly came to his senses, Chen Lin wanted to put the blame on him and pretend to be worried, but after careful consideration, they had no loyalty at all!
Sending troops privately, such a big thing, and daring to hide it from yourself, what kind of loyal minister!
"Chen Lin!"
Zhao Zhen gritted his back molars and said, "You tell me clearly, what's going on?" ”
Chen Lin was speechless again, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Back to the words of the saint, the matter of Yu Zang Hua Ma is, it was Shen Duan who hid it from the old slave, and the old slave didn't know anything in advance! See, sage! ”
Wang Ningan laughed, "Chen Lin, if there is no matter of Yu Zang Hua Ma, why do you want to give Qin the right to transfer troops?" Even at the expense of falsifying the Holy Decree? If you don't know, such a big matter, does Shen Duan dare to call the shots alone? ”
Chen Lin finally understood Wang Ning'an's power, and changed to an ordinary courtier, when he learned that the Son of Heaven was suspicious, he had already become a mess, who could be like Wang Ning'an, so calm, and caught his own loopholes, what a demon!
Chen Lin thought for a while and laughed at himself, "Xianggong Wang, the old slave is too old and in poor health, Shen Duan is used to bending to meet him, the old slave was deceived by him, and he thought of the kindness of the saint and wanted to share the worries of the saint, so he made his own opinion, drafted a central decree, embezzled the jade seal of the Son of Heaven, and handed it to Shen Duan. ”
said, and knelt down at Zhao Zhen again, "Sage, the old slave knows that he is deeply guilty, even if he is cut by a thousand knives, he is to blame." It's just that the old slave has a heart, and he is still loyal to His Majesty, please see the saint! ”
"Ridiculous!"
Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Zhao Shu shouted: "Shameless old thief, Hao's first horseman!" You forged a holy decree and buried 100,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! How many families are broken because of you, and the overall situation in the entire northwest is almost impossible to clean up, do you still have the Great Song Dynasty in your eyes? You still have the face to say that you are loyal to the saint, you are simply clever and despicable! ”
Chen Lin raised his head, looked at the little prince with a strong voice, and smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, the Son of Heaven is angry, ambushing millions of corpses, bleeding thousands of miles. Sooner or later, you will also inherit the unification, and a mere 100,000 horses and horses are nothing! I have been in the Song Dynasty for so many years, and I have lost fewer battles? Not to mention anything else, when Emperor Taizong forcibly conquered the sixteen states of Yanyun, it was called the restoration of the homeland, but in fact, it was to weaken the strength of the army, and the two northern expeditions, the total number of dead soldiers was nearly 500,000! Wang Xianggong, your ancestor, the old general Wang Gui, died at the hands of Emperor Taizong! There are also good water rivers, three river mouths, sage wisdom, appointment of Xia Zhu, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan! What are they? It's just a civil servant, and he is also worthy of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops? The result? Millions of soldiers and people died tragically at the hands of the Western Xia, and the world was in turmoil and chaos...... Even so, His Majesty is reluctant to hand over military power to courtiers who can fight! ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you still think 100,000 people are nothing?"
Chen Lin seemed to be possessed by something, his voice was like a bell, and he asked loudly, Zhao Zhen's face had turned the color of pig liver, and he wanted to scold, but he was so angry that he coughed and couldn't speak.
Zhao Shu's eyes widened in shock, of course he was familiar with the matter of Taizong's Northern Expedition.
But the problem is that no one has ever told him in the past that Taizong is to consume Jiangmen, not to recover his homeland...... No, absolutely not!
Emperor Taizong is not that kind of person!
"Chen Lin!"
Zhao Shu couldn't help it, rushed over frantically, pushed the old eunuch down, raised his fist and hit it.
"You are mad, you are talking nonsense, you slander Emperor Taizong, I will kill you!"
At this time, Zhao Zhen finally relented, and he said in a dull voice: "The emperor retreats!" ”
After scolding twice in a row, Wang Ningan came over and pulled Zhao Shu away.
Chen Lin is so old, he has exhausted his physical strength from what he said just now, and he was beaten by Zhao Shu again, and half of his life is gone at this moment, so he can only crawl on the ground and cough constantly.
Among these people, Zhao Zhen was anxious and angry, he had half a life, and now only residual blood remained, Zhao Shu was young and lost his mind with anger, Chen Lin was half dead, only Wang Ning'an kept his composure.
Chen Lin's outburst just now, a few words were still lingering in Wang Ningan's ears.
It may not be unreasonable to say that the Northern Expedition was done by Zhao Er in order to weaken the generals, after all, Zhao Da died in a blur back then, and Zhao Da's prestige in the army is far from being comparable to Zhao Er.
Therefore, it makes sense to cut off the Jiangmen forces by using the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, but the price is too great.
Wang Ningan didn't want to investigate what Zhao Er's plans were now, what really shocked him was why Chen Lin said this?
Is the old eunuch crazy?
From the beginning, he said that he was watching the holy will and forging the holy will, and now, he pulled Zhao Er out and whipped the corpse, and pushed the defeat in the northwest on Zhao Zhen's head......
His intention in doing this seems to be only one, and that is to divide the feelings of monarchs and ministers!
The three Qincha went to the northwest and transferred troops to attack Lingzhou.
Why do you do this?
Wang Ningan has been thinking about it these days.
Tan Xian: The explanation they gave was to steal credit.
It seems to make sense, but it's obviously a fire pit, and if you lose more and win less, what can you do if you get the credit? Transferring troops without permission and disobeying orders is still a capital crime, why should they take risks?
There are people who do everything in this world, but no one does anything that loses money!
Whether it's Chen Lin or other immortals...... After decades of cultivation, they don't have a reckless man, and what they do must not be explained by a moment of confusion......
So what exactly are they trying to do?
When Chen Lin was angry, he said those words, but Wang Ningan suddenly woke up!
Maybe that's what they're for!
Divide the feelings of monarchs and ministers, and provoke the conflict between himself and Zhao Zhen!
Everything is a layer of window paper, if it is not broken, it will be shrouded in fog, and if it is broken, it will be clear at once.
Wang Ningan returned to think about it, and instantly understood why he took the risk of attacking Lingzhou.
Because if you win the war, you can sit back on the charge of delaying the fighter plane and raising your own self-respect.
defeated, it can also be said that Wang Ningan did not save him when he saw death, regardless of the overall situation, and his desire for profit was consumed.
No matter how you look at it, you won't lose!
Only these people didn't expect that they would be wiped out and defeated so badly!
The situation in the northwest was suddenly out of control, and they simply did not allow them to continue to play a divisive strategy.
And they didn't expect that Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an were far closer than they imagined, and the emperor would immediately send the crown prince to the northwest to repair the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
Then Wang Ningan won the battle again and stabilized the overall situation in the northwest, but it made their foolproof calculations, and there was a big loophole!
The reason why a conspiracy is called a conspiracy is that it can't be put on the table, and when Wang Ningan guessed the other party's routine, he suddenly became calm.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen was about to make an order to dispose of Chen Lin.
Wang Ningan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Chen Lin is crazy and outrageous, no matter how you deal with it, it will cheapen him!" The best punishment for him is to bring out the whole incident and let the truth come to light, and at that time, the old thief's lies can be self-defeating. ”
Zhao Zhen's eyes were confused, can this matter still be investigated?
Chen Lin's words just now made Zhao Zhen shudder.
This old guy has been in the palace for too many years, and he knows too many secrets, and just a few words can make the royal family lose face, and the harm is too great.
When you kill him immediately, you will find an unsolved case, what a dilemma!
Wang Ningan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked Imperial Doctor Qian to return to Beijing and ask him to treat Shen Duan, and the minister thinks that he may be able to return to normal for Shen Duan, and then ......."
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly ran in and knelt outside.
Zhao Zhen said irritably: "What's the matter?" ”
"Go back, go back to Your Majesty, Uncle Guo is here, he, he said that he found out, Shen Duan is pretending to be crazy!"
