Chapter 224: Chinese New Year's Eve Talk

Jiajing's twenty-fifth year Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chen Di unexpectedly came to Yongshou Palace. He wants to share the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Emperor Jiajing.

Lu Fang served the imperial meal for Chen Di and Emperor Jiajing.

The young eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor tasted the imperial food. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty had to taste the food first by the eunuchs, which was to prevent someone from poisoning and murdering the emperor.

Emperor Jiajing seemed to have taken too many pills during the day, and he seemed listless.

Lu Fang reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, is it okay to have a meal?" ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh, let's eat"

Chen Di said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

After speaking, Chen Di raised his glass: "I wish the emperor a long life." ”

Emperor Jiajing sneered: "Long life without borders? I'm afraid that Governor Chen is looking forward to my early death, right? ”

Emperor Jiajing's attitude was expected by Chen Di: "Why did the emperor say this? Can Father-in-law Lu recuse himself? I have a few words to say to the emperor. ”

Lu Fang retreated with interest.

Chen Di said: "Your Majesty, now that you have no power and no threat to me, why should I want you to die early?" If you die, I will have a new king. Historically, ministers who support new kings often don't die well, so why should I touch that mold? ”

Chen Di is telling the truth.

Emperor Jiajing said: "According to what you mean, I don't even have the value of death now?" ”

Chen Di nodded: "Although the words are ugly, they are true. ”

Emperor Jiajing shook his head helplessly: "Alas, I regret that I shouldn't have appointed you as a jinshi in the first place, I regret that I shouldn't have sent you to Taizhou as a prefect, and I regret that I shouldn't have let you take charge of the army and establish the Flying Tiger New Army." ”

Chen Di said: "Regret? Now that the six ministries are balanced, the Ming Dynasty has an elite division, and the people's lives are better. I don't see what the emperor has to regret. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "This world is handed down by Hong Wuye!" I lost it in my hands, and I naturally regret it! ”

Chen Di took a sip of porridge: "Your Majesty, there is a word I don't know if you have heard?" ”

Emperor Jiajing asked, "What word?" ”

Chen Di said: "Stubborn! ”

After Chen Di finished saying this, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first!" ”

Chen Di returned to the West Garden to watch the room. Lu Bing was waiting for Chen Di in the duty room.

Chen Di asked: "Commander Lu came to visit late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

Lu Bing got up and said, "Does the Metropolitan Governor know that after the military meeting in Xiyuan last night, one of the participants went to the Yan Mansion late at night?" ”

Chen Di said in surprise: "Who?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "The right waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Long Zixing!" ”

Although the backbone of Lu Bing's Nanyati Cavalry is in Datongwei, he still leaves a lot of eyeliner in the capital. He was happy to see Chen Di and Yan Song having a gap, so he told Chen Di about it as soon as possible.

Chen Diluo understood the reason after thinking about it. Long Zixing took refuge in the Yan Party before he was transferred to the capital! Although he reuses his talents, this person is still Yan Song's person at the root!

Lu Bing asked Chen Di: "Dare to ask the Metropolitan Governor, what will you do with Long Zixing?" ”

Chen Di smiled: "Disposition? Why did I dispose of Long Zixing? Long Zixing is the right attendant of the household department, and Yan Shoufu is also the secretary of the household department. It is understandable for the squire to visit the house of the official of the main department. ”

Lu Bingdao: "Knock on the door? Do you have a late-night visit? And the Grand Governor had just finished a military meeting at that time! There's a lot going on here! ”

Chen Di smelled a hint of sowing discord from Lu Bing's words: "This is a mistake. As the saying goes, there is no suspicion in employing people, but not in doubt. In fact, this is not right, there is no doubt about employing people, as long as the suspect has talent, he must also use it! Long Zixing is full of economics and asks, wouldn't such a person be condescending if he is not reused? ”

Lu Bingdao: "There is a saying among martial artists, military affairs are made by one, and defeated by two or three." It's the same with politics! In today's imperial court, there are two political departments, one is the governor of the capital, and the other is the first assistant Yan Song! This is not a long-term solution! ”

Chen Di laughed and said, "Commander Lu is really loyal to the emperor!" ”

Lu Bing asked: "Why did the Metropolitan Governor say this?" ”

Chen Di said: "What Commander Lu wants to see most now is probably that I am fighting with Yan Song, so you can find the right time to support the emperor to regain power, right?" ”

Lu Bing sneered: "Alas, I'm so stupid, I actually forgot that the Metropolitan Governor is a genius in the world." How can I hide this little trick from the Grand Governor? ”

Chen Di said: "Don't say it's Long Zixing, even if it's a royalist like you who wants to support the emperor's ****, don't I use it the same?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "Royalists? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "This is a new word invented by the students of Xingming Academy. Since ancient times, the emperor has been loyal, but in fact, it is not. Loyalty to the country, loyalty to the nation, and loyalty to the people is great loyalty! Loyalty to the monarch alone is at best foolish loyalty! ”

Lu Bingdao: "It's a pity that the emperor doesn't understand my hard work and regards me as your party." ”

Chen Di stared at Lu Bing's eyes and said: "It doesn't matter whose henchmen are, the important thing is to do practical things for Daming!" Commander Lu has made great contributions to the collection of Tatar military intelligence in Datongwei in the past six months! I often wonder why I can't raise an intelligence team like Nan Yati Cavalry? ”

Lu Bingdao: "The Metropolitan Governor, the interlacing is like a mountain!" It's like I don't have the ability to build an elite division like the Flying Tigers! ”

Chen Di asked Lu Bing: "Commander Lu, if the emperor is not in my hands now, will you kill me?" ”

Lu Bing replied: "Half a year ago, it would, but not now." ”

Chen Di asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Bing replied: "Because in the past six months, I have seen you Chen Di do a lot of good things for Daming." Stranded half a year ago, where could the Ming Dynasty expect the Northern Expedition to be Tatar? I'm afraid that there is only a tribute to the Tatars! ”

Chen Di laughed: "This also has the credit of Commander Lu for making you!" ”

Lu Bingtui said to Chen Di with confidence: "Governor, put aside the sowing discord, I advise you, it is better to get rid of Yan Song's father and son sooner or later!" I have been the commander of the Jinyi Guard for more than ten years, and all the official situations are under my control. Yan Song's father and son are greedy for both power and money. They regard their position as more important than anything else, and they will never care about the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and the life or death of the people. ”

Chen Di asked: "The emperor also knew the shortcomings of Yan Song's father and son before, why did he still use this father and son?" ”

Lu Bing said: "Emperor's technique! The emperor used Yan Song's hand, and he could only turn a blind eye to his corruption. ”

Chen Di said: "Commander Lu, I will also tell you a word. Yan Song's father and son, I will get rid of them sooner or later! Of course, I don't mean to kill these two people, but to make them surrender their rights. Yan Song is in charge of the cabinet, and sooner or later he will mislead the country! I'm not afraid of you telling Yan Song this. Yan Song himself had already realized that I had the intention of bringing him down, and of course, I also noticed that he had the idea of bringing me down. ”

Lu Bing nodded: "Well, the Metropolitan Governor is a masterpiece in the world, I can see through it, and the Metropolitan Governor can naturally see through it." ”

Chen Di knocked Lu Bing: "In this Northern Expedition, I will leave a thousand firecrackers in the capital, and let Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the military department, sit in the capital." If anyone wants to take advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Flying Tiger Army to make trouble in Beijing, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! ”

Chen Di was talking about Yan Song's father and son, but secretly he was reminding Lu Bing not to think anything wrong.

Chen Di opened the window of the Xiyuan duty room and glanced at the bright moon in the sky: "A few hours will be the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing." I hope that the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty will bless me, and our Ming army will be able to raise the prestige of the country in the new year. ”
