Chapter 31: Preparing to Meet the Tigress

The reason why Lu Bing thinks about the problem this way is not because he likes to watch the excitement, let alone because he wants to profit from it and fight for power, but the situation at the moment must be like this. Yang Tinghe had no problem fighting with the emperor, because he felt that he had enough weight, but he suddenly jumped out of a Jinshi who was in the period of observing politics and called for him, and he was so speechless that he could only mess around, which made Yang Tinghe and this old face unable to hang up, so the matter fell into a deadlock.

Lu Bing's southern tour had a very important purpose to ease the relationship between Yang Tinghe and Zhu Houxi and be a friendly bridge between the two, but after Zhang Zhang's mixing, this hard work was wasted, and the results obtained at the cost of his disability were greatly reduced. Lu Bing has now learned to be a little peaceful, knowing that it is useless to be angry and impulsive at this time, he can only work hard to solve the problem, so he discussed with Meng Xueqing and thought of this countermeasure.

Now let Yang Tinghe admit defeat, Yang Tinghe naturally refuses, he is a successful person, successful people are very persistent or stubborn, not to mention that if he admits it now, he will inevitably be unable to get over his face. It is even more impossible to let Zhu Houxi admit it, he is the ninety-five honor of the world today, if he regresses in this matter, where will the emperor be in the future?

Now that Zhu Houxi has been teased by Zhang Xuan, even Lu Bing, who has to accompany him to go over, who will let him be brothers. Neither of the two sides will be the first to admit defeat, and Lu Bing does not want to be like this, because once this is the case, the losing side will begin to suppress, and after the depression is silence, and after the silence, it will definitely explode, which is a bad situation that Lu Bing does not want to see.

The winning side is not much better, even if the winning side is invincible in the world, because this is a duel between the top two in power, the winner will naturally be complacent, and the emperor will become solipsistic when he wins, although this is the essence of the emperor, but an emperor who no longer listens to advice must not be a good emperor. If Yang Tinghe wins, it will be even worse, he will never take Zhu Houxi in his eyes again, then even if he will not seize power, there will always be people who will rise to the top, because the imperial power is no longer unique.

For the sake of today's plan, we can only continue to intensify the contradictions, and even provoke the contradictions to the maximum, so that things can develop to the point where the two of them can't get out of control, so that they will be evenly matched, at this time, Lu Bing will adjust it again, let the two of them take a step back and return to a balanced state, which is the best and wonderful state. After Lu Bing and Meng Xueqing discussed this countermeasure, Lu Bing said a very classic sentence: "This is a harmonious society." Meng Xueqing thought about the old and praised the word harmony, which was too incisive.

Of course, this matter naturally will not be told to Yang Tinghe or Zhu Houxi, in that case, it will not have the effect it should have, so Lu Bing only asked Zhang Xuan to write another letter and submit it, constantly provoking the sensitive nerves of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. For Zhang Zhang's performance, the cabinet will never allow it to be handed over, the cabinet can control Zhang Zhang's boss, the Ministry of Rites, and it is generally not allowed to report to the next level, so as long as the Ministry of Rites does not perform for Zhang Zhang, everything done is useless. As for playing directly, it is even more impossible, Zhang Xuan's grade is not enough, and Lu Bing is not enough, even Lu Bing will not wade into this troubled water, once he is touched, he will lose his justice, and he will not be able to mediate from it in the future.

And the previous letter somehow ran to Zhu Houxi's table, whether the eunuch intended to flatter or others didn't pay attention to what the Jinshi wrote during the period of observing the government, this is unknown, and no one cares about these anymore. It may be a mistake or there may be countless possibilities, in short, Lu Bing can only see the process and result of the matter, no matter how powerful the secret agent is, he can't hear the inner thoughts of others.

The current situation is different, Zhang Xuan belongs to the key care object, so the folds can't be presented at all, let alone Zhu Houxi's hands, if anyone has nothing to do with this, it is purely to bring Yang Tinghe's hatred. Lu Bing has his own way to deal with this, and told Zhang Xuan not to worry about it, and he will know when the time comes.

After Lu Bing saw Zhang Xuan, he found Yang Shen again, that is, Yang Tinghe's son, this person has a very high IQ and is the champion of Zhengde for six years, but in short, after Lu Bing scolded Zhang Xuan for his shamelessness in a hoarse voice, Yang Shen felt the same way, and talked with Lu Bing very happily, and he had the feeling of hating to see each other late, so he almost bowed to Lu Bing.

After returning home, Yang Shen summed up Lu Bing's slightly vulgar words after some modification in his mind, and conveyed such a message to Yang Tinghe, that is, Lu Bing also supports us, and Zhu Houxi's descendants support us, Zhu Houyu has now become a real loner, and it is only a matter of time before he admits defeat. Yang Tinghe Zhilu said that his son was smart, although Lu Bing was also very shrewd, but out of his father's pride and trust, Yang Tinghe thought that Yang Shen would not fall for Lu Bing's scheme, so he was overjoyed after hearing this, and was full of confidence and was ready to fight Zhu Houxi to the end.

After Lu Bing finished this work, he said to the subordinate who came to Yang Shen and Zhang Xuan: "Take my death-free gold medal and waist card, enter the palace and invite the emperor." The next person almost cried after hearing this, he was an old man brought by Lu Song from Anlu, a few years older than Lu Bing, and he could be regarded as watching Lu Bing grow up, and he also served His Royal Highness King Xing on weekdays, so seeing the emperor was much better than ordinary people, and he would not be so frightened. But now Lu Bing's courage is too big, and he thinks that Zhu Houyu is the idle king who follows his ass, but it is different from the past, and now Zhu Houyu is the emperor, the lord of the world, how can he say that he will be invited.

But the master's order could not be disobeyed, so he ran to the palace with a sad face, for fear that the emperor would be unhappy and say that he did not understand etiquette, so he beheaded himself first, which could be regarded as paying for Lu Bing's rudeness.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the heavily guarded palace saw Lu Bing's token and the gold medal for avoiding death, he instantly got out of the way and went directly to Xuan Bing. Anyway, the mouths of the people who were surprised didn't close them for several days, and they were even more respectful to Lu Bing, and they didn't dare to slack off at all, because Lu Bing was too good.

With the arrival of Zhu Houxi, Lu Bing naturally had to make enough face and not be too arrogant, so he went out and stood at the corner of the street leaning on his subordinates to greet him, and the wound was in severe pain, and Lu Bing's steamed buns were sweating profusely. After welcoming the saint, Lu Bing and Zhu Houyu returned to the mansion, and after entering the house, they sent off the people, and Zhu Houyu said: "I am suffocated, you have almost investigated my matter, right?" ”

Lu Bing nodded, and Zhu Houxi sighed and said: "Hey, anyway, there are one worry after another, let me tell you something, recently I have ordered people to negotiate with the Wa State, and ordered them to hand over Xia Dade and the others as soon as possible, otherwise they will bear the consequences." ”

Lu Bing naturally sent someone to inquire, but the news was like a stone sinking into the sea, Lu Bing couldn't help but be a little desperate, but when he heard that Zhu Houyu had used the strength of the country, he rekindled a glimmer of hope, Zhu Houxi said: "Anyway, there are a few meanings expressed in my national letter, you listen, strongly protest, strongly condemn, solemnly negotiate, very disappointed, do you think this can scare the Japanese country to compromise?" ”

Lu Bing smiled dumbly and said: "It looks like this since ancient times, and I don't blame future generations." Ahem, it can't be helped, it's just a stopgap measure. ”

Zhu Houxi didn't understand, but nodded calmly, after all, as an emperor, he can't have so many questions and ignorance like before, asking Lu Bing every day, so much faceless, so if he doesn't understand now, he occasionally has to pretend to understand.

Lu Bing said: "Let's get down to business, I originally wanted to send someone into the palace to face the saint, but I think it's better to say this matter in person, besides, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and it is far less pure and secret than me here." According to my investigation, the Empress Dowager is already on the waterway, and she will be able to enter Beijing in a few months, right? ”

Zhu Houxi sighed and said, "Exactly." ”

"Then Your Majesty thinks that when the Queen Mother enters Beijing, can you and Yang Tinghe's affairs be resolved?" Lu Bing asked.

Zhu Houxi said bluntly: "That old stubborn, it's really fucking shameless, I think this matter is mysterious, and I can't kill them all, I'm afraid that things haven't been dealt with when the queen mother enters Beijing, hey, what should I do?" Lu Bing, you told me about this when I came here, what are your clever plans? ”

"There is no clever plan," Lu Bing said, Zhu Houxi showed a hint of disappointment, Lu Bing continued: "But I want me to take care of his injury for another half a month, and when I get better, I will go to meet him, I am the old man of Xingwangfu, the Queen Mother watched me grow up, I advise the Queen Mother, don't let her be too angry, the Queen Mother will listen to my persuasion." There is still time, so there is no need to be too anxious, and my current physical condition cannot travel immediately. In fact, we are not afraid that the matter will not be solved, but we are afraid that the queen mother's body will be angry. ”

Zhu Houxi suddenly realized: "Exactly, what you think is very reasonable, very good, this matter belongs to you, I'm afraid that besides you, I Daming will never be able to find a second suitable candidate." It's just that your body can hold it? ”

"What are these things, I, Lu Bing, am an iron-clad man, and besides, the heavens have been entrusted to the people, and they must first work hard and work their bodies" Lu Bing muttered and said: "In short, for the sake of the emperor, I will go out of my way, and it doesn't hurt to run around again." I just reported this matter to His Majesty, you arrange it as soon as possible, let me go to meet it, don't let Yang Tinghe get mixed up. ”

"Inevitably." Zhu Houxi said: "Then there is labor, I won't talk about what I am next to, it's still the same as when I was a child, if I have a bite to eat, you will have a mouthful, and our brothers will work together to break the gold." Lu Bing almost burst out laughing when he heard this, but he nodded solemnly, it was the same as when he was a child, when Zhu Houxi was just a little clever follower. Just blow it, who doesn't know people, dare to blow it while guarding the parties, it's really hard to be embarrassed by Zhu Houxi's face, if it's the same as when he was a child, the two of them should change their dignity and humility positions, but Zhu Houyu is the emperor after all, Lu Bing still saves him enough face, this is not a time-traveling drama, you can get acquainted with the emperor, but if it's too much, you will have to kill yourself.

Lu Bing and Zhu Houyu chatted for a while, and then Lu Bing said some modern inventions and creations, and asked Zhu Houyu to go back to study. After Zhu Houxi left, Meng Xueqing walked over with lotus steps and asked, "Mrs. Jiang, can you handle it?" ”

Lu Bing shuddered and said: "Zhu Houxi is not a good stubble, I am afraid of talking to her once with this tigress, but this kind of character is also very provocative, but this, this is really a chore, or Xueqing, you will accompany me, right?" ”

Meng Xueqing pursed her lips and smiled and nodded at the tip of Lu Bing's nose, then pointed to her stomach and said: "Don't be, you should go to such a dangerous thing by yourself, don't say that you are afraid, I have seen it a few times and I am afraid, don't frighten the child in my belly, this is your flesh and blood, you don't feel distressed at all." ”

"Madame is right, I'll go by myself, if I don't go into the tiger's den, I'll go to see this tigress." Lu Bing said and laughed evilly.

————————————————————————————————————

Zhang Xuan wrote the recital, this time he changed the title, the name is "Da Li or Ask", and then according to Lu Bing's arrangement, he threw himself in from Zuo Shunmen.

The reason why Zuo Shunmen was chosen to deliver this piece of music was because of Zuo Shunmen's special status. On the courtyard wall south of the East Corner Gate, one of the three gates of Fengtian Gate, such a door is opened facing west from east to west, and this gate is Zuoshun Gate. There is a yamen in this gate called Tongzheng Division, as long as the song is delivered here, the emperor can see this "Great Gift or Question" at the first time.

Because the general administration department is carefully selected eunuchs who can read and hyphenation, these eunuchs are considered "loyal", and the documents delivered are all to be registered, if they are concealed and not reported, they will be killed, so they are loyal. Of course, whether to kill the head or not, whether it can be reported is another matter, since ancient times, there have been policies and countermeasures, but Lu Bing is very sure of this, because the people in the General Administration Department are eunuchs, which is the key.

Although Zhang Yonghe and Gu Dayong have been sued by the imperial historian Xiao Huai now, it is unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse, but after all, they are still in office, not to mention that the majesty among the eunuchs is still there. How did Lu Bing intercede for Yang Tinghe, begging to let Zhang Yonggu go, both of them knew the truth, so such a small favor, especially a favor against Yang Tinghe, the two would definitely help, so Zhang Zhang's performance would definitely reach Zhu Houxi smoothly.

In this regard, Yang Tinghe was a little restless, and he also heard the news that Zhang Xuan was going to the General Administration Department to deliver it, because not far from Zuo Shunmen was where the cabinet office was located. Yang Tinghe was so powerful that he was naturally embarrassed to stop him personally, so he sent a few young officials from the Hanlin Academy to persuade Zhang Xuan, hoping that he could give up his hostility with Yang Tinghe.

As a result, Zhang Xuan did not hesitate, and convinced a few people on the spot with that fearless spirit, and a few loyal people wanted to step forward to snatch the "Great Gift or Question" in Zhang Zhang's hand, but they were driven out of Lu by the guards of the General Administration Department who had already arranged for Lu. Zhang Xuan successfully threw this letter and smiled with satisfaction, in his opinion, he has the support of Lu Bing, and the emperor's respect, and stands on the united front with the imperial power, it seems that the day of soaring is coming.
