Chapter 264: This is no longer a contest and collision of the same magnitude

"This is still what the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty should do? Forgetting justice with personal grievances, doesn't he know that this opportunity can enable me to gain peace in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty for at least decades, how much less military spending the country can spend, and Li Shu in the northern Xinjiang can live and work in peace for decades. "Yu Qian, this loyal minister who has always been impartial, has always ignored the court disputes, and has been honest and conscientious in his work, at this moment, he couldn't help it, and spit out his bitterness to the official Shangshu Wang Zhi who was sitting beside him, and whispered his grievances.

"Tingyi, you can finally see it clearly, hehe......" Lao Wang stroked his long beard under his chin and showed a meaningful smile. Speaking of which, we are courtiers, and we should not refer to the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is based on the opportunity of the country's dying, although he has the ambition to work hard and be diligent in ideology and politics, but he has not been able to hold it for a long time. His surname is suspicious and his mind is unknown. He pushed the throne of God for the ministers in danger, but the more this happened, the more he felt that the ministers were just forced to do so. ”

"Yes, I am often suspicious of the ministers, and I refuse to rest assured that I will appoint the officials, and I favor the eunuchs, which is better than the emperor in the past." Yu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly. "What's more, he is bent on making his son-in-law the crown prince, and he ignores the trust of the country's society, and in the long run, the Ming Dynasty will undergo great changes."

Hearing this, Lao Wang raised his eyebrows, looked at Yu Qianyan with a smile, and said, "Ting Yi came to the old man's humble house today, it must not be just to complain, right?" ”

"Actually, Qian does have a matter, come to Lao Shangshu to discuss." Yu Qian took a deep breath and met Wang Zhi's shrewd and spicy gaze, slightly uncomfortable.

Lao Wang groaned slightly, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Oh, even so, please tell Tingyi bluntly, hmm...... If Tingyi wants the old man to make concessions on the matter of abolishing the crown prince, then Tingyi should not say it well, although the old man is a subordinate of the Son of Heaven, he is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and he does it not for the king, but for the country. ”

Yu Qian's face couldn't help but show a little astringency. "Old Shangshu, Da Ming, can't stand the toss......"

It was precisely because he knew that the Ming Dynasty could not withstand the toss, so the old man said this. Tingyi, with your talents, can't you still see what His Majesty the Emperor has done? Can't you see the words and deeds of today? Lao Wang sighed, and his voice became deeper and deeper. Presumably, you have also heard that my generals of the Ming Dynasty quietly sent troops to the grassland without hiding from the court and today, right? ”

Yu Qian's figure couldn't help but stiffen, and his shoulders collapsed, although the generals tried their best to conceal it, but he, Yu Qian, as the secretary of the military department, how could he not find out the traces of spiders and worms? After contacting it back and forth, although Yu Qian couldn't guess the ins and outs of the matter, he was already sure of one thing, that is, His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor Taishang, must have used some tricks, so that the generals of these border towns couldn't help but be moved, and agreed to secretly send troops to cut down the grassland.

-------------------- it is precisely because he vaguely guessed the truth, and it is really because he understands the truth and the terrible consequences that may be brought out, that Yu Qian will appear in the mansion of Wang Zhi, the old official of the Ministry of Shangshu, looking for this old Shangshu who has an extremely firm position and opposes the abolition of the crown prince by today's son, hoping to get a compromise between the ministers and the Son of Heaven from him, and end the dispute as soon as possible.

In this way, Zhu Qiyu is the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the merits of this battle will inevitably be attributed to Zhu Qiyu, which can not only enhance his prestige, but also consolidate his authority.

Moreover, it can also weaken the strength formed by Zhu Qizhen's previous series of plans, so that the soldiers on all sides understand that today is their emperor. And not Zhu Qizhen. Because Yu Qian didn't want to see the Ming Dynasty, which had just experienced the heavy damage of the Tumubao Change, experience another battle of martyrdom. From this point of view, Yu Qian's starting point is also for the Ming Dynasty, not for a certain emperor.

"Tingyi, you are a great talent, your heart is for the country, this old man can see it clearly, and he knows what you think in your heart, but now, if the old man and the ministers agree, what will the emperor think?" Lao Wang took a sip of tea, chewed the tea leaves poured into his mouth, and slowly chewed the astringency and light fragrance emitted by the leaves, and there was a trace of helplessness in his voice.

"Don't forget the Emperor, before His Majesty hunted in the north, he was allowed to be located in the current day with a blood edict, which shows his open-mindedness. Since the Northern Hunt, he has followed the example of Gou Jian to lie down and taste the courage, work hard, put the country first in everything, and take Li Shu as the first everywhere, Xuanfu has been restored to the old view in less than two years, and even far more prosperous than Yang Hong's time......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The old man looks at the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who can have such means? Who has such audacity? It has never been done since ancient times. ”

"Now that the emperor has appeared as a hero, and he has also given birth to the ambition of a hero, this kind of people, does Tingyi think that he can suppress it just by relying on us to be the son of today? Moreover, when today's Ziqi is so narrow, and his behavior is degenerate, it is almost the laughing stock of the world, if it really angers the Emperor Taishang, who has already held the hearts of the army and the people in the important town of Xuanfu, at that time, we don't want the Ming Dynasty to be in turmoil, and I am afraid that we will not be able to stop it. ”

Lao Wang Zhi's words, Yu Qian couldn't help but be stunned, and now thinking about it carefully, Yu Qian couldn't help but be shocked to find that Zhu Qizhen, who had already abdicated the throne, in less than two years, just by virtue of the empty title of supervising the civil and military affairs of Xuanfu Town, he had actually grasped the heart of more than one million Li Shu in Xuanfu and the military heart of nearly 100,000 elite divisions.

In the past two years, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, up and down the Yellow River, among the people, the most popular, the most widespread, the most enjoyable, is not the story of the ancient talented and beautiful women, not those romance novelists, but the deeds of Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that there are not many people in the world who don't know about Zhu Qizhen's series of legendary deeds.

And in the same way, when today's son is narrow-minded, selfish, and wants to prevent the emperor from making peace with the tile thorn in a foreign land, and treats the emperor with the etiquette of a poor man, he wants to keep his promise, and wants his sister-in-law to become the prince, secretly makes people want to poison the prince, and lives a luxurious and arrogant life, favors the eunuchs, and as the king of a country, he likes to advocate women...... In short, when today's son and His Majesty the Emperor Taishang, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, there has almost formed a sharp contrast, who is good and who is bad, at a glance. Although, Yu Qian also knows very well that these must be done by people with intentions, and those who have intentions are not something that his ability can stop, not to mention that he has no evidence at all.

Not to mention him, it is the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Zhong, who is now scolded by Zhu Qiyu all day long, and there is still no way, even if he finds a trace of spiders, but it is soon discovered that those are just fake traps.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his heart was full of shock and shock, and he didn't know when the sweat had wet his cheeks, and even the thick back of the green shirt on his body was also invaded by sweat and soaked a lot. At this moment, Yu Qian realized that his thoughts were so naΓ―ve and wishful thinking.

In other words, the general trend of the Ming Dynasty is no longer a courtier, or it is not transferred by the will of others, everything, just like His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor, has been laying out from the beginning, eroding step by step, eroding people's hearts, and eroding the Ming government and the opposition.

And he seems to have the strength to profit the Ming Dynasty's biggest rival, the tile spur, it only took less than two years, the original strong enough to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Ming Dynasty regarded it as a confidant, actually really under his cloud-turning hands, it was wiped out in an understatement...... Even if Emperor Taizong was a great martial artist back then, he didn't have such means as him, not to mention, he was just an emperor who had already abdicated the throne, and in less than two years, he was quietly and silently, before everyone noticed him, or before everyone had time to be vigilant, he had already paved the way, forming a general trend that no one could stop anymore.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In this way, even if all the civil and military officials in the court are on the side of the current day and unanimously pass the proposal to abolish the crown prince, so what? Yu Qian couldn't help but pause and sighed.

The old Wang, who had been staring at the changing expression and sweating like pulp, replied directly: "Tingyi, you have finally figured it out, you must know that now the crown prince, but by the side of the emperor, he abdicates the throne, which is equivalent to making a compromise, but you should also know what the surname of the current emperor is like." ”

"When today's past actions have been too much to lose, and although the emperor has retreated step by step, these concessions have made everyone in the world see clearly what kind of person he is today. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor Taishang struck a blow, and I am afraid that there will be far more people in the world who are clapping their hands and applauding than those who are standing on the side of today. ”

--------------------What's more, a few days ago, the old man also received news that Marquis Wuqing, General Zhenshuo, and Shi Heng, the chief military officer of Datong Town, had already left Datong Town, leading 25,000 elites to gather troops in Yingmatai with the elites of Gansu, Guyuan, and Ningxia. Lao Wang Zhi's words were very light, but they were no less than a thunderclap, which exploded in Yu Qian's ears.

Yu Qian Huoran opened his eyes wide, staring at the old Wang Zhi deadly, as if he wanted to see the truth of these words from his face, although he had guessed that in Zhubian, there might be a few towns that would send troops to the grassland, but he could not imagine that as the most trusted general today and picked it up single-handedly, as an important chess piece secretly monitoring the Emperor Taishang who stayed in Xuanfu, he would actually stand on the side of Zhu Qizhen at such a time.

Not to mention how much shock this news will cause if it spreads, more importantly, this is like a signal, even Shi Heng, who is today's henchman, has been accepted by the Emperor, so let's ask, who will have half a minute of hesitation among the generals of the border towns in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty?

Even if it is a thousand dollars to buy bones, not to mention, when today's son believes in Shi Heng, it can be said that the world knows it, and Datong border town, with the help of today's son, has become more and more powerful, comparable to the important town of Naxuanfu, just the soldiers and horses in these two places combined, there are more than 200,000 elite border troops.

It can be said that most of the elite of the Ming Dynasty are in these border towns, if these border towns have been relying on Zhu Qizhen, the emperor...... Today, even if it has the full support of the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK, what is the use?

I think that at the beginning, Emperor Taizong only relied on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to rise up and finally seize the throne, not to mention that now, Emperor Taishang is in the court and the opposition, and his prestige and bearing are far more than today's...... In other words, this is no longer a contest and collision of the same magnitude, but before it even begins, the scales have been greatly tilted. Thinking of this, Yu Qian couldn't help but sigh dejectedly, and his waist, which was originally straight, seemed to be a little rickety, revealing a depressed atmosphere.

Lao Wang stood up slowly, stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the blue sky and the unpredictable clouds outside the window, with the habit and wind, blowing and pointing at the two sideburns like snow hair and the long beard, and in his peaceful eyes, there was a sense of understanding and abruptness.

When he was very young, under the teaching of the enlightenment teacher, an article he had read was so eye-catching and clear that Lao Wang couldn't help but recite it: "Mencius said: Shun is in the acres, Fu Shuo is in the plate building, Jiao is in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is in the sea, and Baili Xi is in the city." Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. People are permanent, and then they can change. Trapped in the heart, weighed in the worry, and then done. It is in the color, in the sound, and then in the metaphor. If you enter, you will not be able to go home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die. Then he knows that he is born in sorrow, and dies in peace......"

Listening to the old and rich voice of Lao Wang Zhi, reciting this famous Mencius famous article, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel his heart swaying, Zhu Qizhen, the past of His Majesty the Emperor, as if the legend-like experience, flashed in front of his eyes one by one, and finally fixed under the city of Jingshi, which is far less tall than the towering city wall of Jingshi, but it makes people feel extremely majestic, so proud that everyone in the world seems to be willing to bow their heads to the figure...... It is said that Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly fell seriously ill and was sick in the house, and the Ministry of War should be entrusted to the Ministry of War, and the Son of Heaven heard the news and sent the imperial doctor and medicine many times to show his favor, but he turned a blind eye to the letter of Yu Qian who pleaded with the Son of Heaven to allow the soldiers to send troops to the desert to level the grassland and restore the prosperity of Taizong, but he turned a blind eye to the political commissar and the cabinet and internal officials. And Zhu Qiyu also seemed to realize that the situation was unfavorable to him, and stepped up the promotion of the abolition of the crown prince, and even hinted that the confidants and eunuchs would bribe those important ministers of the court by dealing with the cabinet, so that they could stand on their side in the matter of abolishing the crown prince......
