Yang Tinghe glanced at Jiao Fang very angrily, he hated Jiao Fang deeply, at this juncture, this Jiao Fang is still here to play his little abacus, the country let such a person into the cabinet, what a joke. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Jiao Fang's reasons can't be faulted, and people are also verbally planning to visit the emperor, although Yang Tinghe can guess Jiao Fang's intentions, it is not easy to argue at this time.

However, Yang Tinghe can't help but think at this time, now that the king of Chu has mastered the military power, not to mention other military horses, just the new army and the Chu army that came from afar, they are now the hardcore henchmen of the king of Chu, and now his henchmen have mastered the factory guard, the country has been in power for a hundred years, and he has never seen such a powerful person, no matter whether Jiao Fang proposed that Zhang Yong was a candidate to ask the king of Chu for merit and reward, or the king of Chu had hinted before, he was afraid that he would have to pay more attention in the future.

Empress Dowager Zhang is not in the mood to care about this at this time, what is the struggle for power and profit, what gains and losses, at this time it has nothing to do with this old lady, she just wants to find her son, there is only one thought.

She sighed and said, "No matter what, try your best to find it, the emperor is a child's surname, and when he goes outside, he doesn't know how much hardship he has to endure, and the court can't leave him, so he must be found back." Her eyes fell on Liu Chengfeng and said, "How is the matter of peace?" ”

In fact, the Empress Dowager Zhang just asked unintentionally, she couldn't just ask her son, now that the emperor has run away, the dragons have no leader, and she, as the queen mother, always has to ask about political affairs.

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly said the conditions reached by himself and Li Ruofan, and the Empress Dowager Zhang said: "This is a great achievement, that is, my old wife also knows that these conditions come out, and there will be no external troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity, although the credit is very great, but the court has not rewarded you, this matter, hurry up, as for Li Ruofan, she can understand the general situation, and the court will not treat her badly, Daming is gracious in all directions, as long as she is willing to sincerely repent, and from now on she will serve my Ming Dynasty, she will naturally be given grand treatment, and give a vassal king." , It seems inappropriate to call the king of Mongolia, what does Liu Aiqing have in mind? ”

Liu Chengfeng muttered: "Although its country is Mongolia, it is really inappropriate to call it the king of Mongolia, so how about calling it the king of Zhengbei?" The men of his country, in the future, will be recruited by my Ming Dynasty, as a cavalry to fight in all directions, the south is watery, not suitable for cavalry combat, the future can be my Ming northern barrier, in the name of the north of the Ming Dynasty Although it is an obstacle to the etiquette, but it is also appropriate. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded her head and said: "Just do it, this matter can't be delayed, the Ministry of Rites will immediately prepare the gold seal and gold book, as for other things, you can discuss it yourself, the mourning family is a woman's family, this kind of thing is not suitable to come forward, Liu Chengfeng, now that the emperor is not in Beijing, you have to take care of many things." ”

Maybe for others, Liu Chengfeng is not trustworthy, but for the Queen Mother, Liu Chengfeng is a person worthy of trust, and now the closest person to her is only Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Weichen obeys the order. ”

Everyone came out of the palace, Yang Tinghe approached Liu Chengfeng, and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "What are you happy about?" ”

In fact, he knew that Yang Tinghe rashly came to congratulate him, in fact, he meant to test him, this Yang Tinghe was very wary of himself.

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly: "Your Highness has made another great contribution, isn't it a happy event?" ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at him and said coldly: "The emperor is nowhere to be found, this is also a happy event?" Lord Yang is too unclear about the importance of the matter. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, and looked at Liu Chengfeng, who was in the carriage, and gradually walked away in the carriage, not moving for a while. Li Dongyang heard the conversation between him and Liu Chengfeng clearly, he walked over and said to Yang Tinghe: "What is Yang Gong thinking?" ”

Yang Tinghe said with a gloomy face: "The king is nowhere to be seen, and there are human rights in the court and the central government for a while, the old man is worried that this Ming Dynasty may have the disaster of Xiao Wall, so he must be a little vigilant." ”

Li Dongyang looked at Yang Tinghe silently, and did not speak at this time.

Yang Tinghe continued: "We are deeply favored by the country, and we must not wait until the catastrophe is no longer enough to make amends.

Li Dongyang said: "When the time comes, who can stop it?" Didn't you see that Jiao Fang? Old foxes like Jiao Fang are all dead hearted, and now there are Zhang Yong, Qian Fang, Chen Hongyu and others who are looking forward, if they really have different intentions, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to support it alone. ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes narrowed, and he said, "So we must not let him stay in Jingshi anymore, we must let him go back to his fiefdom." ”

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, it was easy to say, when the first emperor returned to heaven, the cabinet also played a trick to force Liu Chengfeng to join the domain, what was the result? As a result, they are back, and now they are doing the same trick again, but I am afraid that it will be difficult.

"Now that the emperor is nowhere to be found, and the Empress Dowager Zhang has no one to rely on, how can she be willing to let the King of Chu return to his domain? Yang Gong, I'm afraid this matter is not easy. ”

Yang Tinghe said: "So we must find the emperor as soon as possible, only by finding the emperor can we wait for the opportunity to let Liu Chengfeng go from where." ”

Yang Tinghe's face showed a look of desperation, his idea was indeed for the good of the society, but don't forget, when Liu Jin was in chaos, he watched Liu Chengfeng arrive in Beijing, and when Liu Chengfeng cleaned up Liu Jin, he was so anxious to ask Liu Chengfeng to roll back.

Li Dongyang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "But what if the emperor can't find it for a while." ”

"How long do you mean by one?" Yang Tinghe raised his eyes to look at Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang said: "Maybe it's three months, maybe half a year." ”

Yang Tinghe was also silent.

This is a very complicated issue, if the emperor was taken away by the enemy, maybe it would be better to say something, or the emperor passed the news of his death, it would be easier to do, after all, there are precedents in the Ming Dynasty, everything is done according to the precedent, but it is missing, if there is really no news for so long, what should it be?

After a long time, Yang Tinghe gritted his teeth and said: "The country cannot be said to be without a king. He dropped this sentence, glanced at Li Dongyang very meaningfully, and said, "What does Li Gong think?" ”

Li Dongyang nodded his head and said, "Good!" ”

The two looked at each other, and they had reached an agreement.

In fact, this unanimity is not the idea of the two of them, this is the consideration of almost all court officials, the emperor has no news, so it is impossible to delay it like this, since the emperor himself refuses to come back, and he can't find anyone for a while, the only way can only be to set up a new king. They can pat their chests and say to people very frankly that this is all for the sake of the country's society, in fact...... And indeed it is.

The two said goodbye and went home without mentioning it.

Liu Chengfeng returned to the palace, he had just arrived on the front foot, and Jiao Fang had arrived on the back foot.

Jiao Fang came to pay respects, of course, he didn't just come to pat the horse, of course an old fox like Jiao Fang knew that for people like the King of Chu, it was useless for you to meet him, if you want to be his pawn, the most important thing is not to praise but to value, Jiao Fang has been performing now, for this value, he wants the King of Chu to know that he is a person worth using, and this is enough.

Liu Chengfeng asked someone to arrange for him to be in the flower hall, and took a bath before meeting him, Jiao Fang saw Liu Chengfeng, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness......"

Liu Chengfeng raised his hand and said tiredly: "If you have anything to say, let's get straight to the point, don't be polite." ”

Jiao Fang nodded and said, "In this current situation, it would be fine if the emperor could find it back, but did His Highness arrange a way back for himself, what if the emperor can't find it?" ”

Jiao Fang is also straight to the point, and even asks this kind of thing bluntly.

Liu Chengfeng looked at Jiao Fang and said: "The emperor must be found, as long as the emperor is still in the world, this king will continue to search, Jiao Fang, what do you mean by asking these words?" ”

Jiao Fang said: "But the country can't be said to be without a king......"

His words are also very bold, but he is so presumptuous in front of Liu Chengfeng, he does show his absolute sincerity to Liu Chengfeng, he continued: "Of course, His Royal Highness has deep feelings for the emperor, but the ministers are different, once the emperor does not come back, the ministers are afraid that they will have to make other plans, and they will support the new monarch in the future, what should His Highness do?" ”

Liu Chengfeng squinted and said nothing.

He has a headache now, where did this damn Zhu Houzhao go, he doesn't care whether Zhu Houzhao is a good emperor or not, or whether he is suitable to be an emperor, for Liu Chengfeng, only if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, he can feel at ease, this is also his promise to the first emperor.

Jiao Fang continued: "If His Royal Highness does not support the new monarch, and His Royal Highness is already a supreme minister, and the Chu State is also suspected of being strong, I am afraid that after the new monarch ascends the throne, he may not be able to tolerate His Highness." ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at Jiao Fang nakedly, and said unceremoniously: "If you have anything to say, don't beat around the bush, just say it." ”

Jiao Fang straightened his chest and said: "The lower officials think that if the emperor really doesn't come back, the lower officials have two strategies, and this best policy is really at that time, His Royal Highness personally proposed to establish a new monarch, so that he can complete a meritorious service, and then return to the country, the new emperor is grateful to His Royal Highness, and naturally will not be embarrassed by His Royal Highness." This is the next policy, that is, His Royal Highness Suo surname will now play a request to return to his vassal state, and never interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, from now on the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty, and the Chu State is the Chu State. Only in this way can His Highness stay out of the matter and preserve himself. Otherwise, if one is not good, there will be a catastrophe. ”

Liu Chengfeng sneered and said, "This is your idea?" ”

Jiao Fang said earnestly: "Of course, the emperor may not be able to come back, as long as he can come back, things will be easy to say, the reason why the lower official said this is just to ask His Royal Highness to consider it thoroughly, just in case." ”
