Chapter 463: Sycophancy
The sky is slightly bright, the summer day is fast, and the emperor palace will start the early dynasty.
The generals lined up on either side, and the scarlet carpet stretched from the lacquered door to the steps below the dragon chair. This is the biggest pattern after the new emperor took office, and the military generals in the Song and Ming dynasties had a very low status. Led the troops outside, and he was also a civil minister's supervisor, so it can be said that the military generals were one level lower than the civilian officials. After Zhu Cihuan ascended the throne, the civil and military were in the same dynasty, and the grades were equal. The Governors of the Five Armies and the Admirals of the Nine Gates are listed in equal positions.
Yang Fan, as the Shangzhu State and the protector of the country, stood at the forefront of the military generals. The eyes of the generals were focused on this. Because today, it is the first time since the new emperor ascended the throne that Yang Fan has participated in politics in the court. For Yang Fan, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen was still a little grateful to Yang Fan, after all, if there was no Yang Fan, the Donglin Party would control the government and would not have their share in the position. The main thing to talk about today is the Liaodong Alliance.
No one has spoken out against the tax reform, because the benefits he brought to the Ming Dynasty's financial revenue are spoken in silver.
"Ahem." Xu Ji coughed coldly, and glanced at Yang Fan at the front with some disappointment. Naturally, he extremely did not want to see Yang Fan go to court.
"The Holy One has arrived!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The courtiers knelt down. On the side of the Imperial Palace, the little emperor was wearing a dragon robe and walked up slowly. is just a six-year-old child, he has to take on the heavy responsibility of the king of a country, if there is no Yang Fan and a few people to assist, this Ming will still die.
"Excuse me." Zhu Cihuan, supported by Cao Huachun, sat down and looked around. Stay at Yang Fan at the front.
Cao Huachun said in a straight voice: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Xu Ji said: "Minister." Something happens. Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, and his old man still seemed unwilling. I want Yang Fan not to go to Liaodong.
"What's the matter with Xu Shilang?"
Xu Ji took a step forward and said, "Holy Lord, what the minister wants to do today is the matter of the Liaodong Alliance. Now that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is gradually rising, it is really inappropriate for the city to meet the alliance. Moreover, Shangzhu Guo was appointed by the emperor as an auxiliary minister, if Jiannu was not good to Yang Guogong, what should he do? ”
Zhu Qi glanced at Yang Fan's father-in-law, and it seemed that he didn't want anything to happen to his good son-in-law. Then he asked, "Then what good advice does Xu Shilang have?" ”
"Don't dare to suggest." Xu Ji saluted and said, "It's just that this alliance needs the pillar of a country to go." Wechen thought that if he wanted to send someone over, he only needed the envoy of Honglu Temple to go over. Jiannu established a puppet dynasty and fought against my Ming Dynasty, his heart can be punished, if he sends the protector of the country to go, he attaches too much importance to it, and it is not in line with the ceremony. ”
"What do you think?" Zhu Cihuan is still young and does not have enough experience. But some of the words that ask for advice are still well learned.
Several people from the Ministry of Rites also said that it was indeed inappropriate to let the pillar of a country act as an envoy. They were wrong this time. Xu Ji is Yang Fan's old father-in-law. The whole dynasty knew about this, and when they saw Xu Ji standing up, they thought it was Yang Fan's meaning. Originally, Zhu Youzhen was in power. Yang Fan's position is not so prominent. This is said to be a national letter, but in fact, Fan Wencheng of Liaodong wants to knock out Yang Fan. I came up with the Hongmen Banquet. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen couldn't wait for Yang Fan to go to Liaodong immediately. In any case, it is the perfect time to pull out the thorn in the flesh. At that time, Yang Fan was really hard to refuse.
But now it's different, Yang Fan was still a little marquis, and he didn't have any real position, although he doesn't participate in the government now, but people with a discerning eye can see that many of his handwritings are still from the hands of this Shangzhu country. Now even his father-in-law has stood up to speak, of course, to follow the trend and give this Shangzhu country some face.
Zhu Cihuan looked at Yang Fan, a little puzzled: "What does Yang Guogong think?" ”
Yang Fan sighed in his heart, what else do you think? We discussed it more than ten days ago, and at this time, let me take the blame again, this loyal minister, it seems that it is really not good. Yang Fan was miserable in his heart, but his face was still calm. He can't say what he's going to do. But he can't show the intention of wanting to go, otherwise it will be easy to show flaws. Obviously it was a Hongmen banquet, of course Yang Fan wanted to show that he was forced to go as a last resort.
"All things are decided by the Holy."
This remark is like waiting for the young lady in the boudoir to see Ruyi Langjun, and she has to pretend to be reserved to say that everything is decided by her father, and all present, including the young Zhu Cihuan, have a trace of contempt for Yang Fan. If the emperor can decide, what's the use of letting you speak?
Only Zhu Qi, who understands the inside story of the matter and lives a human being, understands Yang Fan's unspeakable secrets, so he said: "Since the protector has no objection, then this matter is settled." After all, this time, the puppet dynasty agreed that Fan Wencheng and the protector would meet, and let's see what the puppet dynasty had to say. ”
"Holy Lord, this matter is still out of place." Xu Ji bit it and said: "If Yang Guogong goes and spreads it, others will think that I am afraid of the puppet dynasty and damage the prestige of the country." "When a literati speak, they hurt the foundation of the country at every turn, and damage the national prestige at every turn, and they always have to make something when they have nothing to do. Zhu Cihuan frowned, Lao Xu said it seamlessly, he couldn't just kill him with a shot, so who else in the court would dare to speak out in the future.
"Therefore, I beg the Holy One to take back the ordination." Xu Ji saw that Zhu Cihuan had loosened up and climbed up.
"Please take back your destiny!" A cadre of courtiers knelt down one after another, thinking that it was Yang Fan himself who was difficult to speak, so they persuaded even more instigating. Yang Fan is called a depressed, these people are full of food and have nothing to do, this time to offer hospitality.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also has a word. I don't know if to talk about it or not? Zhu Qi still had to come to relieve the siege, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh? What does the Zong Decree have to say? "The little emperor is also unsure, what the situation is. Zhu Qineng opened his mouth, so naturally he didn't have to say anything.
The minister believes that this matter has to be done by the protector himself. The situation in Liao is complicated, and the Protector won the first battle at the Daling River, and is extremely familiar with the terrain and strategy there, if he only sends an envoy over, it is likely that it will be difficult to control the overall situation. Therefore, it is more appropriate for the protector to go. ”
"The sect's order is very true, so it was decided."
Yang Fan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty would be mistaken, thinking that Yang Fan didn't want to go, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Fan's own old man who was making an obstacle. This time, the sycophant shot had no effect. After everything was settled, Yang Fan was also relieved.
This time Liaodong and his party must go straight to Huanglong and succeed in one fell swoop! (To be continued.) )
