In the Prince's Mansion –

Yu Suzhong and Zhang Laizhan met.

Yu Suzhong: "General Zhang, long time no see. ”

Zhang Laizhan: "General Yu." ”

Yu Suzhong: "I know that the King of Liaoyang has always been reluctant to associate with any faction of the imperial court, but I really didn't expect General Zhang to stand on His Royal Highness's side now." ”

Zhang Laizhan didn't answer, he knew in his heart what he was doing it for: first, because of his precious daughter's lifelong entrustment, and second, and most importantly, he really appreciated His Royal Highness the Prince. Touched by the charm of this young man, he rekindled all his strength to contribute to the court and the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Suzhong: "Your Highness, today I see that Chao Wan'an is abnormal, what does it mean to come to show favor to His Highness?" ”

Zhu Youtang: "Whether it's Wan'an or Wang Zhi, they all want to use the East Palace as a gunman, so Wan An tries his best to marry his daughter into the East Palace and wants to raise her as a puppet." The imperial court is controlled by this cabinet and a western factory, and it is really my sorrow for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Huai'en: "But Wan'an asked His Majesty for a blank appointment letter for Wang Zhi today, which means that he can promote his subordinate generals at will and win the hearts of the people in the army." This step by step is really a careful calculation. ”

Zhu Youtang: "It's a pity that the person who went to Wara to assassinate my Xichang is dead, and there is no evidence. It's better to be still, it's better for us to pretend to be quieter as Wan'an wishes, so that he thinks I'm really afraid of him.

At present, the most important thing is that the border defense of the Ming Dynasty is temporarily safe, but the Central Plains is empty of troops, and the strong branches are weak, which is a big problem.

What worries me more is that if Warat and Tatar join forces, and they join forces with scum like Wang Zhi, it is very likely that it will threaten the capital.

Since the Gyeonggi garrison has been completely exposed to Wan'an, why don't we take advantage of this redeployment of troops to bring up strong generals. ”

Yu Suzhong: "Your Highness, do you know that Wan An will also guess your intentions." ”

Zhu Youtang: "I just let them know and let them have scruples, so that they will slow down, and we can fight for more time to disturb their army." ”

Wynne: "Your Highness, I want to recommend General Zhang to Your Majesty." His Royal Highness can know that General Zhang was transferred from the cabinet and stationed at the border because he offended Wan'an in his early years.

If you promote General Zhang at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the Wan'an pass. ”

Zhu Youtang: "I don't need to mention it, this matter can be handed over to Ma Wensheng, the right attendant of the Ministry of War." ”

Yu Suzhong: "Your Highness, you should know that Ma Wensheng is Wan'an's person, and it was Wan'an who single-handedly promoted him, from Fujian to the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, and entered the right servant of the military department." ”

Zhu Youtang: "Master Ma is a person from Wan'an on the surface, but in fact, he is consistent with us in his understanding of the matter of purging the imperial cabinet.

Master Ma is just a secret chess piece that I inserted into the Wan'an Ministry, and what he did was just borrowing his strength. ”

Yu Suzhong: "In this way, Ma Wensheng is your person." You made him pretend to take refuge in Wan'an, didn't you? ”

Youtang raised the wine cup and clinked glasses to Yu Suzhong.

Zhu Youtang: "General Zhang has also been in Beijing for some time, and he should also know something about the deployment of troops in Gyeonggi Province and even Kannai Province, what does General Zhang think?" ”

Zhang Laizhan: "My Ming army defense is heavy on the outside and light on the inside, the power of the West Factory is too much, the Central Plains army is becoming more and more empty, and the Central Plains area, the peace has been maintained for a long time, and the soldiers are negligent in training——"

Zhu Youtang: "General Zhang, see it thoroughly. In fact, the general does not have to shy away from it, and I believe that the general can also see where the turmoil will come from. ”

Zhang Laizhan: "The north captives and the south are attacked on both sides. ”

Zhu Youtang stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "That's why the DPRK needs generals like General Zhang more."

Gu pleaded with General Zhang to stay in Beijing, and Gu still had many military tactics to consult with the general, and hoped that the general could discuss with Gu and adjust the strategy of garrisoning troops in Gyeonggi and the Central Plains.

Even if it can't suppress the treacherous misdeeds of Wan'an Wangzhi and his party, it can somewhat enhance the ability to deal with any turmoil in the future.

General Zhang—"

Zhang Laizhan stood up and saluted back: "Your Highness, don't say it anymore."

The last general has fully understood the meaning of His Royal Highness, and the last general will stay in the army, fulfill his responsibilities as a general, and do his best to serve the country. ”

Youtang bowed deeply——

Zhang Laizhan was moved, and replied: "I didn't expect His Highness to be young and so thoughtful, I have to say that His Highness's Wen Tao's strategy can be regarded as the best in the world." ”

Youtang: "The general has won the award, but he is only the heir of the royal family, and he must think more about the common people in the world and the people of Li." ”

Wynne: "Your Highness has naturally grown up, and he has his own opinions on doing things. Presumably, the queen mother and the mother under the nine springs are also relieved. ”

Youtang: "Speaking of the emperor's grandmother and mother, they treat me kindly, raise me, protect me, and raise me, but to this day, I still can't clear my mother's grievances, and I can't find my mother's family history and relatives.

It's that I'm useless. ”

Wynne: "How come, Your Highness is the pride of the sky, and the mother knows the ground, and she will be proud of His Highness's ambition." ”

Xie moved into the hall and told Wan Jinxiu to come to the house.

Youtang: "You can help me think of a reason to send her away." ”

Yu Suzhong: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to do this.

Your Highness, you think, you are unanimous with Wan An in public today on political advice, isn't it just to make him, the head of the cabinet, think that you have softened?

But at this time, if you send Wan Jinxiu away and let Wan Jinxiu go to Wan Guifei to cry, I am afraid there will be trouble. ”

Huaien: "Your Highness, the position of the crown princess, whether in public or private, should be Wan Jinxiu, the daughter of Wan'an."

Your Prince's Mansion and Wan'an's Cabinet Mansion are the palms and backs of your hands in Your Majesty's place.

We can't bring him down, we can win him over. ”

"Something that is in the same stream with Wan'an, you can't do it alone." When Youtang heard the persuasion of these two people, he was quite excited.

"Wooing Wan'an, axiomally speaking, will only make Wan'an more rampant, let his forces go deep into the prince's mansion, and at that time, the status of the East Palace will be more threatened, which is really not an obvious move.

Privately, Lone didn't want to collude with the court about the private affairs of his wife's life.

This is definitely not what I Zhu Youtang wanted.

I have long said that the lonely princess can only be Zhang Mingyu alone.

Regardless of whether she came from a prominent family or not; Regardless of whether or not she has the power that Lone has used behind her, nothing can change her place in my heart. ”

Youtang got up and faced Zhang Laizhan: "Today, General Zhang is here.

Youtang made a stand, even if Lone is helpless now, but the position of the crown princess, Lone will have to give it to Yu'er sooner or later. ”

Zhang Laizhan was very moved: "His Royal Highness's love for the dog girl will be known in the end.

It's just that Your Highness is in the whirlpool of power, and your marriage is not your own private matter, but a state matter, so don't be rash.

It is necessary to think long-term, and when necessary, it is also necessary to sacrifice the personal feelings of children. ”
