Chapter 1253: Red Line

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Tinghe raised his eyes and looked at the music next to him, and rubbed his sore neck a little tiredly, the years are not forgiving! He was tired after just watching the recital for two hours, but what made him a little dissatisfied was that his efficiency today had dropped by half.

The reason is because Emperor Zhengde summoned Zhang Zhijie to the palace early in the morning. Yang Tinghe knew that Emperor Zhengde would definitely talk to Zhang Zhijie about the king.

With a different surname, I didn't expect him to encounter this kind of thing. The Ming Dynasty has not encountered this kind of thing for more than 100 years, and in the Zhengde Dynasty, the emperor had the idea of being crowned a king with a different surname.

Although it is expected that Zhang Zhijie will not accept the title of king, but there is no absolute in the world, if Zhang Zhijie can't stand the temptation and readily accepts it, then the court will inevitably have some turmoil, thinking of this, Yang Tinghe's eyes showed a look of worry.

Yang Tinghe did not express his opposition and pushed the matter to Zhang Zhijie, on the one hand, because he didn't want to get into trouble with Emperor Zhengde, and it was easier for Zhang Zhijie to resign by himself. On the other hand, Yang Tinghe also meant to test Zhang Zhijie and test whether Zhang Zhijie was ambitious.

Just when Yang Tinghe was a little worried in his heart, there was a sudden commotion outside, Yang Tinghe frowned slightly, and was about to get up and scold, when a familiar voice came in, "Yang Ge is old man on duty?" ”

This is Zhang Zhijie's voice, the scribe outside responded respectfully, Yang Tinghe rubbed his brows, and got up to greet him with a smile.

"Elder Yang Ge, take the liberty to visit!" Zhang Zhijie arched his hand and smiled.

"Governor Zhang is here, Peng is shining, please inside!" Yang Tinghe greeted him with a smile, invited Zhang Zhijie to sit inside, and ordered the scribe to serve tea.

After serving the tea, the scribe closed the door and retreated, Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Governor Zhang's face is full of red light, and he seems to have a great joy!" ”

Zhang Zhijie was surprised when he heard this: "Oh? Elder Yang Ge thinks that this governor has something to be happy about? ”

Yang Tinghe smiled when he heard this: "This is difficult for the old man, speaking of which, the emperor also asked the old man, the emperor wants to crown Governor Zhang as the king of the county, presumably the emperor has already informed Governor Zhang today, right?" Isn't that something to celebrate? ”

Zhang Zhijie waved his hand and smiled when he heard this: "Yang Ge Lao Xiu wants to mention it again, it's really annoying to me!" How can I think of me, how can I be crowned the king of the county by the emperor? Not to mention the ancestral motto that a different surname cannot be crowned a king, I, Zhang Zhijie, am not a master of the end, how dare I accept the emperor's intention to be crowned a king? ”

Hearing that Zhang Zhijie seemed to have dispelled Emperor Zhengde's idea of making him king, the worry in Yang Tinghe's heart dissipated, and his suspicion of Zhang Zhijie also dissipated.

Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Hey, Governor Zhang's words are wrong, Governor Zhang has made great contributions to the imperial court, which is well known to the world, and the emperor wants to crown Governor Zhang as the king of the county, which is also the proper meaning." So when the emperor inquired about the old man, the old man did not object! ”

Zhang Zhijie heard this and feigned anger and said: "Yang Ge is not authentic, and he does not persuade the emperor, this is deliberately roasting the governor on the fire!" If it spreads, I don't know how my colleagues will laugh at it! ”

Yang Tinghe hurriedly explained: "Oh, don't misunderstand Governor Zhang, the old man has no such intention, the old man does think that Governor Zhang has made great contributions, and it is okay for the emperor to break the routine and be crowned king, of course, considering that there is an ancestral training that a different surname cannot be crowned king." Therefore, the old man thinks that it is okay or not, it is all in Governor Zhang's thoughts! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "How can He De, I dare not be ashamed!" There is an ancestral precept that a different surname is not allowed to be crowned a king, and this governor does not dare to set this precedent! ”

Yang Tinghe listened to it and exclaimed: "Governor Zhang is highly meritorious and self-contained, and he is really a model for hundreds of officials!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Elder Yang Ge, don't give me a top hat, don't dare to be it." Today, I came to visit Yang Ge and always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I had something important to discuss with Yang Ge Lao! ”

Now Yang Tinghe was finally completely relieved, his mentality was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Oh, Governor Zhang has something to say." Zhang Zhijie carefully analyzed the situation on the grassland, and Yang Tinghe listened very carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning and pondering.

"The most important thing now is to stabilize the middle of the grassland, after the middle of the grassland, there is the border army of the Ming Dynasty to deter, and the eastern parts of the grassland to help, the grassland will not be able to make any waves!" Zhang Zhijie said lightly.

Yang Tinghe was greatly surprised when he heard this, he thought that the grassland would be calmed for decades after this war, and he was very excited to see that according to Zhang Zhijie's intentions, it was expected that the grassland problem would be completely solved.

Yang Tinghe nodded solemnly and said: "What Governor Zhang said is very true, if you can completely pacify the grassland, the merit will be in the future!" It's just that how to control the middle of the grassland, does Governor Zhang have a plan? ”

Facing Yang Tinghe's excited eyes, Zhang Zhijie affirmed: "Yes! Yang Tinghe was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Dare to ask Governor Zhang, will Ji An come out?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It should be on Gushi Hatun." After the slaughter of the Chahar tribe and the Khalkha tribe, the Tumut tribe was the largest tribe in the middle of the steppe, and the Tumut tribe was in the hands of Gushihatun! ”

"According to the rules of the grassland, the emperor has become the khan of the grassland, so Gushi Hatun should naturally marry the emperor, and the Tumut people will naturally return to their hearts! If Gushi Hatun can give birth to a prince for the emperor, he will be divided into the grassland as the king, then there will be no war in the grassland from now on! ”

Yang Tinghe was first excited when he heard this, and then frowned and said: "Gushi Hatun is a grassland person after all, if you want to persuade her to enter the palace as a concubine, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "On the way to Beijing, the governor has already tried it, for the sake of peace in the grassland, Gushi Hatun expressed his willingness to enter the palace as a concubine!" ”

Yang Tinghe's face flushed when he heard this, and he slapped the table and exclaimed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Governor Zhang's clever plan to set the grassland! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot to be done in this matter, and his heart was very excited.

At this moment, Zhang Zhijie's mouth slowly spit out the word "but", Yang Tinghe's excitement receded like a tide, and he exclaimed: "But? But what? ”

Zhang Zhijie groaned: "However, there is still a lack of people who pull the red line. Yang Ge is highly respected, and he is the first auxiliary scholar of the dynasty, if Yang Ge Lao comes forward, writes to the emperor, and asks the queen mother, this matter will be promising! ”

Yang Tinghe was startled when he heard the words, he thought that there was still some problem, it turned out that he was just missing a person who was holding the red line. Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Governor Zhang has just returned triumphantly from the grassland, he is not only familiar with Gushi Hatun, but also the nephew of the Queen Mother, and trusted by the emperor, this person is naturally Governor Zhang!" ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head when he heard this: "After all, this governor is young and shallow, so it's not appropriate!" Yang Ge Lao's high morality and respect are what everyone expects, and even the emperor is interested in Yang Ge Lao. For the sake of the people of Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin, please don't shirk Yang Gelao! ”
