Chapter 52: Reaching an Agreement
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be decided by the emperor alone.
The emperor immediately summoned Cui Zheng and asked Xiang Yun to tell Cui Zheng about this matter again.
"Xiangye, what do you think?" After Xiang Yun finished speaking, the emperor couldn't wait to ask, looking happy, "With the Lady of Chu in Linzhou, the people of Linzhou can rest assured." ”
Cui Zheng frowned and said, "It's a big deal to do this, and it's a lot of work....."
It is indeed very troublesome to transfer soldiers and horses between the two places, the distance is long, there are many soldiers and horses, and it takes a lot of time to come and go.
Xiang Yun said: "You can only let the generals move, and the soldiers and horses don't have to move." ”
Cui Zheng glanced at him: "Now is the critical time of the battle, it is not a good thing to change generals in battle, is Xiang Dudu very confident?" ”
Xiang Yun said: "Don't say it's a guard, as long as you have the intention to kill thieves, even if it's a group of homeless people, you can become an army in my hands Xiang Yun." ”
The mild-mannered Xiang Yun had undisguised arrogance when talking about the battle.
The emperor nodded again and again: "Governor Xiang is brave and strategic, and he is good at leading the troops. ”
Some time ago, Ankang Mountain occupied Hedong Road and gathered momentum to attack Linzhou, Li Mingyu suddenly said goodbye, it was Xiang Yun with his wounded body to arrange troops, not only stabilized Linzhou, but also commanded Zhang An Wang Lin to push back the Andezhong rebels outside Linzhou for fifty miles.
Cui Zheng said: "There is no absolute, and what has not happened cannot be asserted." ”
Although he said this, he did not open the documents he brought back to the capital for the emperor to read.
Xiang Yundao: "This is what I think from the perspective of tactics and the war situation, whether it is feasible or not, how to operate, and I have to discuss it with everyone." ”
Cui Zheng hummed, Xiang Yun bowed and retired, walked out of the door, and listened to Cui Zheng say to the emperor: "Your Majesty will take a look at these first...."
The emperor's voice was a little apprehensive: "Didn't you say that you don't need to take everyone away, you still need to watch it......"
Cui Zheng's voice was a little annoyed: "Your Majesty, are you planning to return to Beijing alone?" ”
"Of course not, of course not." The emperor said in a loud voice, "I'll see..."
Xiang Yun stepped out of the door, and the door closed behind it, cutting off the sound inside.
Jiang You was waiting indoors, and when he saw Xiang Yun coming in, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Does Choi Sang-ye agree? ”
He didn't ask the emperor, but asked Cui Zheng, which sounded a little rebellious, and the old servant who was in the room walked outside the door and waited.
Xiang Yun said: "Xiangye, like Your Majesty, wants to return to Beijing, so as long as my purpose is to ask them to return to the capital, he will agree." ”
Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm still worried that he doesn't believe in the governor." ”
Xiang Yun smiled, sat down slowly on the table, and looked at the map, these days he was trapped in the palace room, but his mind did not leave the vast world outside for a moment.
"It doesn't matter if he believes it or not." He said, "It's enough that he doesn't believe in Wu Ya'er. ”
......
......
Cui Zheng held the lamp and looked at the map carefully, and the emperor followed behind him.
"Xiangye, what are you looking at?" He asked, and added, "You see, in general, our guards have the advantage, and the rebels of the thieves are divided, so what Xiang Dudu said is ......."
"Xiang Dudu's method is feasible." Cui Zhengdao took the emperor's words.
The emperor was overjoyed: "If Xiangye says it is good, it must be good." ”
Cui Zheng didn't care about this false praise, and still looked at Yutu: "His method is completely superfluous for returning to Beijing, and it is unnecessary." ”
The emperor suddenly became apprehensive: "It's also more secure, it's better to do more than to do less...."
"That's not necessarily, sometimes it's a mess." Cui Zheng categorically retorted, for example, when he returned to Beijing this time, except for thinking about how to settle the people and how to return to Beijing in an orderly manner, there was no need to consider other things, especially those who were afraid of danger and considered their own interests and prevented them from returning to Beijing.
The emperor was refuted by him again, his expression was sneered, he stopped talking, and looked at Cui Zheng who was facing Yutu, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Cui Zheng didn't care about the stagnation in the room, he stood up straight after reading the map.
"But it is necessary to transfer Mrs. Chu to Linzhou." He said, "She can't be in the capital anymore." ”
The emperor asked, "Why?" ”
If he could, he would certainly prefer to let Mrs. Chu guard the capital at this time.
Cui Zheng nodded at the map: "The Zhenwu army is strong. ”
......
......
The emperor also looked closely at the map, and his eyes walked on it, Huainan Road, Xuanwu Road, mixed with the banners of the soldiers and horses of the white-robed army and the sword of the South Road, but they were all placed by the wife of Chu State, and Jiangnan Province also planted a small flag of the Chu army, Han Xu of Shannan Province.... It can be regarded as half of the lady of Chu State, and this side of Hebei Province has been recovered by Wu Ya'er.
The emperor stretched out his palm and landed on the map, and his big palm couldn't cover it.
"Wu Ya'er is unruly, His Majesty has ignored him several times, and now he has half of the Great Xia Guard, and he is not obedient to words, and he is on par with the thieves." Cui Zhengdao.
The emperor said, "I believe in the loyalty of Wu Ya'er and the Lady of Chu State. ”
Cui Zheng said: "The ministers do not doubt their loyalty to Your Majesty, however, Your Majesty cannot give them the opportunity to strengthen their ambitions. ”
The emperor looked at Yutu and sighed lightly, and said his sincere words: "Whether you are loyal or ambitious, how can I be swayed, I am relying on them now." ”
Cui Zheng said: "It is precisely because Your Majesty relies on them that their ambitions are born, so Your Majesty should rely on a few more people, not just Wu Ya'er." ”
"Li Mingyu is still young, there are many soldiers and horses in Jiannan Road, and I stay by my side." The emperor no longer concealed it, and said calmly, "Xiang Dudu can be released." ”
He looked at Yutu and took two steps.
"Governor Xiang has a nephew Xiang Nan who is in charge of Huainan Province, and he has Qi Shan in Southeast Province as a parent, although Qi Shan can't help him wholeheartedly, at least he won't cause chaos."
"If the capital is in his hands."
The emperor's palm swept across the map.
"Xiang Dudu can be on a par with Wu Ya'er."
This emperor knows everything in his heart, but he doesn't say it, but only lets others say it, Cui Zheng has already seen through him: "It is this consideration that the minister thinks that Xiang Dudu's method is feasible and has more far-reaching significance." ”
"But there's one biggest problem." The emperor paced a few steps again, then stopped and turned his head to look at Cui Zheng, "Is the Lady of Chu willing to come to Linzhou?" ”
That is the capital, and the capital where the Son of Heaven will return soon.
Mrs. Chu is greedy for power and domineering and has a good name, how can she give up this place that has attracted the attention of the whole world?
Cui Zheng said: "Let Han Xu write to her." ”
The emperor glared: "This, this?" ”
Han Xu has a lot to do with Mrs. Chu Guo, and there are many jokes in the court, of course the emperor also knows, more detailed than the courtiers, and the chamberlain heard that Shannan Dao said that Han Xu had a letter from Mrs. Chu close to him.
But this matter is not trivial, can you talk about the private relationship between men and women?
"Is this okay?" The emperor lowered his voice, and Mrs. Chu didn't listen to Han Xu first, "How can you tell Han Xu?" ”
Do you want to let Han Xu seduce his wife in the name of the imperial court?
Cui Zheng looked at the emperor's strange face and said busily: "Of course, Han Xu is transferred to Linzhou, Your Majesty will return to Beijing, and the imperial court cannot move away at once, and a reliable courtier is needed to stabilize Linzhou." ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly: "This is good, this is good." ”
"With Wenchen, we also need military generals." Cui Zheng said, "Han Xu and Mrs. Chu are familiar with each other and trust each other, so it is reasonable for him to come forward and invite Mrs. Chu to guard Linzhou." ”
The emperor stroked his palm: "Fortunately, I have such good ministers and brave generals in Great Xia." ”
.......
........
Xiang Yun was soon summoned, and the emperor told him that after careful consideration by Xiangye, he agreed to his proposal.
"Xiang Dudu in the name of pathfinding." Cui Zheng said, "First take the soldiers and horses and a few ministers back to Beijing, and the ministers will bring His Majesty's commendation to Mrs. Chu and the edict asking Mrs. Chu to assist Linzhou." ”
Xiang Yun said: "Mrs. Chu Guo's edict from Linzhou should be held by the minister, when it comes to the use of soldiers, it is more appropriate for the minister to talk to Mrs. Chu Guo." ”
Whoever holds it is the same, Cui Zheng nodded.
Xiang Yun said: "The minister also wants to ask His Majesty to give the minister an edict." ”
The emperor said generously: "What edict do you want?" ”
Xiang Yun leaned over and said, "Please give the ministers a cheap act like the edict of my personal visit." ”
The emperor was taken aback, and Cui Zheng looked at Xiang Yun with a slight gaze.
Cheaply, as if I were there.
If Mrs. Chu refused to obey the order to come to Linzhou at that time, would he Xiang Yun dare to kill her?
This time, without waiting for Cui Zheng to speak, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair put his hands on his knees and said, "Quasi." ”
