Dingguo Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
There is no doubt that these days, the originally unknown Dingguo Mansion has been pushed back to the forefront, and the Dingguo Mansion and the Wei Mansion are in the same vein, and the old Dingguo Mansion personally asked someone to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the affairs of the Wei Mansion, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince categorically rejected the matter, which has already been in the capital.
Some people stand on Zhu Changluo's side, thinking that he adheres to the law and is the image of the Shengming monarch, but there are also some people who feel that Zhu Changluo is communiquéing personal vendetta and taking the opportunity to suppress Wei Guogong, of course, most of these are the thoughts of officials at the bottom, and among the high-level, they see different things, and what they think is naturally different.
However, in just a few days, almost all the bigwigs of some forces in the capital have figured out the blood capital of Dingguo Gong, but in this case, the prince still has to stubbornly deal with the Wei Duke's Mansion, which really disappoints some bigwigs.
How can a ruler be so intolerable!
But in any case, it is conceivable that since both sides are unwilling to concede, a game in the court must be inevitable.
Whether it is the Dingguo Mansion, which has been rooted in the court for many years, is powerful, or the newly promoted Prince of the East Palace is superior, no one can say clearly.
Just when everyone was silently waiting for the two sides to start a war, the protagonist of the matter, Zhu Changluo, was standing in front of the door of the Dingguo Mansion.
Xu Zengshou, the son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was crowned with the merit of Jingjing, Xu Zengshou was the confidant of Emperor Chengzu, and naturally settled in the capital after being knighted, in fact, before Zhu Changluo's Shouwang Mansion was completed, Dingguo Mansion was the most magnificent mansion in the capital in addition to the palace.
Zhu Changluo came here, did not deliberately publicize it, but he also did not mean to hide his figure, and handed over the greeting post in advance, so when he arrived, Xu Wenbi had already taken everyone in the mansion and was waiting outside the mansion.
"Minister Ding Guo Gong Xu Wenbi, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
In front of the public, Xu Wenbi's etiquette was very thoughtful, and the whole family greeted him.
"Grandpa Xu, please get up!"
Zhu Changluo naturally didn't bring his emotions to his face, and helped Xu Wenbi up with a smile.
"Xun Qi is the cadre of the country, and my father has already instructed the emperor to make this palace close to Xun relatives, but now that the East Palace is newly established, the affairs are complicated, so I have only come to visit Grandpa Xu until now, and I hope that Grandpa is not strange!"
"The minister doesn't dare, His Royal Highness has a precious status, and it is an honor for the minister to come to the Dingguo Mansion!"
Xu Wenbi looked frightened, and hurriedly bowed his hand.
"This ...... It's the son, right? ”
Zhu Changluo waved his hand and set his eyes on the young man behind Xu Wenbi.
Unlike other families, the Dingguo Mansion still retains the style of martial arts, although this young man is dressed in a wide brocade robe, but his strong physique is like a soldier in the army.
Xu Wenbi's face was a little embarrassed, and he said.
"Your Royal Highness forgives the sin, the son of the minister, Wenqing, has always been weak, and he went to Tianquan Mountain to cultivate a few days ago, and now he has not returned, this is the young son of the minister, Wuqing! Wu Qing, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
The young man's face was calm, and he stepped forward and arched his hand, but it was military etiquette.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Changluo looked up and down, but he didn't have an embarrassed expression, but laughed.
"I have long heard that Grandpa Xu's two sons under his knees, the son of the world is brilliant, the son of Pian, the youngest son is outstanding in martial arts, outstanding, one literary and one martial arts, but it is the blessing of Grandpa Xu! I heard that in the battle of Pingwei that just ended, Wu Qing took the lead and killed more than a dozen enemies, and he was a real warrior! ”
"Your Royal Highness has a good reputation, the Dingguo Mansion is a military meritorious background, naturally you can't forget your roots, although Wuqing is young, he can also serve the country, and he is only meritorious, compared with the ancestors, it is not worth mentioning!"
Although Xu Wenbi was surprised that Zhu Changluo was so familiar with Xu Wuqing's situation, his face was happy.
His young son is indeed competitive, although he is not as outstanding as his eldest son, but he has been rolling in the army since he was a child, and now he can be regarded as a military achievement, and it is also the face of his Dingguo Mansion to say it.
What's more, what kind of identity Zhu Changluo is, his praise is not as good as ordinary people, which naturally makes Xu Wenbi happy, but Xu Wuqing is very calm, and he is not happy because of this.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went straight into the main hall of the mansion, Zhu Changluo naturally did not come here just to visit Xu Wenbi, and the latter also knew this, so after entering the main hall, he waved his hand to rebuke the idle people.
However, what he didn't expect was that when Xu Wuqing was also planning to withdraw, Zhu Changluo suddenly spoke.
"Grandpa Xu, in the battle of Pingwei, the palace also participated, why don't you let Wuqing stay and talk to the palace?"
"Your Highness has a call, it is an honor for Wu Qing, how dare you disobey!"
Xu Wenbi was slightly stunned, he didn't know what Zhu Changluo meant, but since Zhu Changluo opened his mouth, he naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to open his mouth and order Xu Wuqing to stay.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Changluo really asked about the situation of the battle between Xu Wu and Qingping, but he didn't ask about the process of the war, but about the aftermath.
In the battle of Pingwa, the Ming army relied on powerful firearms to suppress the Wa State and could not raise its head at all, and the entire army of more than 100,000 people was killed and wounded in the end, and more than 30% were captured, and even Toyotomi Hideyoshi was seriously injured.
Xing Jue even made a vigorous ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, but unfortunately Zhu Changluo had already rushed to Yangzhou at that time, and he didn't have time to see this grand event.
However, although this battle was won, the matter is far from over, and even the next thing is the main thing.
A big war, spending so much silver, how to make up for it? Naturally, it is to scrape the flesh from the body of the Wa Kingdom!
Although there were some discordant voices in the DPRK and China, they had to keep their mouths shut in front of the empty treasury.
"Who is the person presiding over the peace talks this time?"
Zhu Changluo looked at Xu Wuqing with a smile and asked.
You must know that Xu Wuqing is not an ordinary person, the youngest son of the Dingguo family, and the person who made meritorious contributions in this war, he knows far more things than ordinary people.
"Back to Your Highness, this peace negotiation is personally presided over by Shi Shangshu of the Ministry of War, with the assistance of Lord Zhang Yangmeng and General Li Rusong!"
Xu Wuqing was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he hide it.
Since the last peace talks went wrong, Shi Xing has become more and more cautious, it is said that such peace talks can be done at most by the military squire, but he is personally in battle.
"So, what difficulties did you encounter in the peace talks?"
Zhu Changluo raised his eyebrows and asked casually.
In fact, this peace talks are very different from the last time, basically the initiative has been all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese country is now leaderless, so it is naturally slaughtered by others.
However, what was a little surprising was that Xu Wuqing hesitated for a moment and said.
"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, the peace talks have indeed encountered some difficulties, and several adults are also making difficulties!"
