61. The King and the Ministers (II)

The Sixty-First King and His Ministers (II)

"You" Rao is Sheng Wenyu is resourceful, but at this moment, he is so angry that he can't say a word.

Zhao Junyong has been gambling today, first relying on Chen Liu's proximity to Bianliang, and betting that Liu Futong can't return to his teacher thousands of miles because he took the initiative to "dedicate victory" to Han Lin'er for such a trivial matter. Now, he began to bet that Zhu Butcher had a limit to what he did, and he would refuse to meet him if the Tartars were not destroyed. As for the impact of this move on the overall situation of the Northern Expedition and the endless troubles brought to the Bianliang Red Scarf, it is not in the scope of its consideration!

"The last general has not read much, but he has also heard the story of the heroes of the six countries who joined forces to destroy Qin. Your Royal Highness may wish to issue an edict to invite the heroes of the whole world to march north, and those who break through the capital first will be sealed with the capital or Jining. In this way, the heroes will inevitably use their lives one by one, and the Tartar north is just around the corner! "Lest Sheng Wenyu would not be angry on the spot, the deputy governor of the Privy Council, Peng Da, also stood up and recited the prepared speech in a crepe!

"Good, this plan is very good!" When Han Lin'er heard this, she almost jumped up with excitement. On the spot, he twisted his head to the table and prepared to run over to write an edict. The legs had just taken a few steps, but behind the curtain, there was a faint sound of a very crisp ring impact, "Ding-!" ”

Han Lin'er's face changed instantly, and then he shook his head with a smile, "However, Prime Minister Liu Chengcheng is now far away in Zigui, and Prime Minister Zhu Chongba and Prime Minister Peng are also busy fighting with the Tartars in Jiangnan, so they have no time to take a trip to the north." Lonely, lonely, alas, lonely, if you give an edict now, it will be a little unacceptable to them! ”

He is indeed anxious to take power, and it is true that he lacks the experience and insight of a generation of heroes, but he has read a lot of books over the years. was splashed with a scoop of cold water by his own mother, and immediately remembered the fate of King Chu Huai back then.

That's right, King Chu Huai's will to be the king of Xianyang first did greatly boost the morale of the three armies, and with Liu Bang as a chess piece, he dealt a severe blow to Xiang Yu's arrogance. However, King Chu Huai finally died in the hands of Xiang Yu, and all his previous efforts were in vain to cheapen Liu Bang's chess piece.

Today, Zhu Chongjiu's strength is no less than that of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu back then. And Zhao Jun's treachery and shamelessness also chased Liu San'er in the excerpt! If he wanted not to repeat the mistakes of King Chu Huai, he had to take every step carefully.

Everything must be measured, this is the advice that his mother just gave him. It's okay to use each other with Zhao Jun, and it's okay to use Zhao Jun's potential to deal with Liu Futong. Even by vigorously supporting Zhao Junyong to contain Zhu Chongjiu, it was within the scope of the emperor's technique. However, if you play with fire too hard and accidentally provoke Liu Futong or others to take risks, the gains outweigh the losses. After all, in addition to occupying the position of righteousness, the mother and son have not had time to master a single soldier in their hands now. Really force others to the point of no way back, and if you don't get it right, the result will be burning.

"It's better to be like this" Concerned about his personal safety, Han Lin'er added with a smile, "Anyway, all of you uncles are here today, you might as well discuss a Northern Expedition route with Sheng Pingzhang." Try to avoid the Huai'an army, so as not to run in vain after Manager Zhu. As for the edict, Lone will not issue it now. After the Tartars have been expelled, they will be rewarded for their deeds. Anyway, as long as the merits of Uncle Zhao and Uncle Peng are irrefutable, at that time, how can Gu be stingy with a few princes?! ”

'This damn woman, she won't suffer just if she wants to take advantage! Zhao Jun heard this, and his smile immediately froze on his face. originally planned to take advantage of Han Lin'er's momentum to follow behind Zhu Butcher to pick up ready-made bargains. On the one hand, you can get a share of the miraculous feats of the Yellow Dragon, and on the other hand, you can also grab a piece of your own territory north of the Yellow River without the slightest effort, and from then on, you can completely enter the deep mountains. Unexpectedly, seeing that the plan was about to succeed, the woman surnamed Yang suddenly jumped out and stirred up the situation!

This kid isn't hopelessly stupid! Sheng Wenyu, who was already desperate, listened to it, but his face instantly regained a little vitality. Since the route of the Northern Expedition has to be discussed with himself, let Zhao Junyong and Peng Da go west out of Luzhou and go straight to Jining to deal with Chakhan Timur. Anyway, the surnamed Zhao himself said that he didn't want to be a bystander, so he could just contain the power of the prince of Mengyuan, Aiyu Zhilidala, so that the latter could no longer rush to rescue Dadu.

Only the straight-hearted Peng Da found Zhao Jun in advance to prepare the lines, and there was no such scene at the moment. Therefore, he frowned and said very truthfully: "Why do you want to discuss another route? Wouldn't it be nice to go hand in hand with Brother Zhu, or help him clean up some crumbs along the way? I estimate that if the Dog Emperor doesn't fight with Brother Zhu fiercely, he will definitely be reluctant to give up Dadu. And when the two armies were in a decisive battle, Zhao Pingzhang and I suddenly led men and horses to kill from the flanks, and we would definitely be able to kill the Dog Emperor by surprise! ”

'Who knows which side you're going to help back then?' Sheng Wenyu smiled and muttered secretly in his heart. Whether it was for public or private purposes, he would not approve of letting Zhao Jun's soldiers and horses get too close to the Huai'an army. One is that it does not play any role in containing the Yuan army, and second, with Zhao Junyong following behind, Xu Da definitely does not dare to move forward boldly with confidence, which is equivalent to Zhao and Peng helping Meng Yuan in disguise.

"I don't know anything about marching and fighting. The two uncles discussed with Sheng Pingzhang. Anyway, he is usually responsible for the food and grass, and the two uncles, one as the political affairs of Pingzhang and the other as the governor of the Privy Council, can just make decisions together with Sheng Pingzhang! Seeing that Zhao Junyong and Sheng Wenyu both refused to speak, Han Lin'er didn't have the heart to listen to Peng Da's reckless nonsense, so he had to add hard.

According to the imperial court structure of the "Great Song Dynasty", the three principal officials of Zhongshu Province, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Historical Observatory got together and had the right to decide most military and government affairs. The civil officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory are usually ornaments, and when the left and right prime ministers are outside, the Zhongshu Province is in charge of Pingzhang political affairs, and the power of the Privy Council is vested in the affairs of the Privy Council. Sheng Wenyu and Zhao Junyong are both Pingzhang, and Peng Da has the title of knowing the Privy Council

"Well, that's fine! It's just that Sheng Pingzhang is probably not very familiar with military affairs, and he may not agree with the ideas of Weichen and Governor Peng! Zhao Jun had no choice but to retreat.

"Although Sheng is not talented, he has read some military books to some extent. Besides, among the generals who stayed in Bianliang, they may not all be ignorant of military affairs! Sheng Wenyu immediately pricked up his eyes and replied without humility or arrogance.

"Really? Zhao didn't see it, there was a dragon and a crouching tiger in Bianliang City! Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and sneered very unceremoniously.

"Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger may not be, barely all blind people!" With a bare mouth, Sheng Wenyu is not afraid of anyone. He shrugged his shoulders and pouted with a sneer.

"Don't fight between the two uncles!" Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Han Lin'er had no choice but to interject again, "Actually, Zigui is not far from here. If the two of them can't compromise their opinions, they can directly send a messenger to report to Prime Minister Liu Cheng for a decision. A round trip is a matter of ten days at most. And the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition also need to take some time to prepare! ”

'Little bastard, pick up cheap and sell good! Zhao Jun was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, he glanced at Han Lin'er fiercely, and said loudly: "Forget about the grain and grass, Zhao didn't expect Sheng Pingzhang to help prepare." However, the date of the dispatch of troops cannot be postponed again and again! ”

When the two sides disagree, go to ask Liu Futong, isn't that tantamount to digging your own grave? Seeing that a strong army is about to stand on its own, how can Liu Futong give everyone a good look? is willing not to dismantle the stage secretly, it is already broad-minded. If you don't get it right, it's possible to rush back immediately and stop it yourself.

"There are a few righteous families in the north, who are looking forward to the king. Grain and grass, grain and grass are heavy, they promised to raise it on their behalf! Peng Da didn't want Liu Futong to interfere, so he took half a step forward, and the urn sounded angrily.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, the three uncles will discuss it on their own! Lonely, lonely here waiting for the final result. Han Lin'er was a little jealous of his meaty appearance, took two steps back, and made a decision with a forced smile.

At this time, Zhao Junyong and Sheng Wenyu had nothing to say, and both bowed down to receive the order. Immediately, in front of Han Lin'er, they made an appointment to discuss the specific time of military affairs, and then each of them retired.

As a "corporal of Lixian", Han Lin'er naturally wanted to personally send everyone out of the palace. When he saw everyone get into the carriage one after another, and the moment he turned his head, his legs stumbled obviously, and he almost knelt on the cold bluestone slab.

"Your Highness beware!" Liu San, the chief eunuch who witnessed the entire confrontation, jumped forward with an arrow step and stretched out his hand to help. Han Lin'er vigilantly pushed it away, laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the road is a little slippery, and I didn't stand firm." Haha, the main thing is to see Uncle Zhao and Uncle Peng return triumphantly, and Lone is so happy. Lone is really happy today! ”

"The old slave sends His Highness back to the dormitory!" Liu San, the chief eunuch, lowered his eyelids and tried his best to let the words come out of his mouth without any emotion.

Today's matter, on the surface, it seems that Han Lin'er's mother and son have taken a big advantage. used Zhao Jun for nothing, but did not pay any actual price. But with the experience of serving those Mongolian princes in the early years, Liu San deeply felt the stupidity of the mother and son. Getting rid of Liu Futong's control, it seems that he is a big step closer to the real emperor. In fact, it was one foot that had already stepped into the ghost gate, just waiting for the king of Yama to send a ghost to seduce the soul!

"Hey, Royal? The Mongols and Han people are not all virtuous! Raising his eyes and looking at Han Lin'er's already soaked back, the old eunuch shook his head quietly.

He felt a little pity for Han Lin'er, but he wasn't prepared to make any reminders. It's not just to please Liu Futong, but, to say to people like him, anyway, they are all eunuchs, and which master to serve is actually no different!
