Chapter 51: To Each His Own Mind

Li Mingyu hugged His Majesty's leg and asked His Majesty not to return to Beijing, and said in front of the envoy of Mrs. Chu that Mrs. Chu was not good-hearted.

Although he was dismissed by Xiang Yun, Li Mingyu's remarks still dispersed, especially in the army, and he received a lot of approval and support.

It's too dangerous to return to Beijing now, Ankangshan is unwilling to lose the capital, and stays in Taiyuan Mansion, Hedong Province, just to get the capital back.

Your Majesty returns to Beijing at this time, won't Ankang Mountain kill two birds with one stone?

This statement does sound very reasonable, and many people in the DPRK and China agree with it.

"What's there to agree with about that?" Cui Zheng scolded, "Is this what the Metropolitan Governor who is leading the troops should say?" Afraid that His Majesty will return to Beijing and be besieged by Ankang Mountain? Why wasn't it that after His Majesty returned to Beijing, our guards gathered to besiege Ankang Mountain? ”

It's a war!

When Li Mingyu heard this reprimand, he went to hug the emperor's leg and immediately led the army to fight with Hedong Road and Ankang Mountain, and never came back if he didn't kill the thief.

How could the emperor let him go.

Cui Zheng scolded even more angrily: "Take the conquest as child's play!" Sure enough, it was the Governor of the Child. ”

scolded Li Mingyu and hid his face and didn't dare to see anyone.

But the matter did not end there, and Xiang Yun, another governor who had been silent, expressed his opinion, and he did not approve of His Majesty's return to Beijing at this time.

Xiang Yun, the elder and most serious governor, did not think about the danger of returning to Beijing, but tactically speaking, it would be more conducive to countering the rebellion if he did not return to Beijing.

"If Your Majesty stays in Linzhou, then Ankang Mountain will attack the capital, and our Linzhou can attack Ankang Mountain and attack from both sides."

"If Ankang Mountain comes to attack Linzhou, then the Lady of Chu and the Wudu Governor can attack Ankang Mountain, and they will also attack from both sides."

"The thieves are distracted from the two places, tired of fighting, and the consumption of troops is even worse."

"The capital was recovered by the guards, which is enough to tell the world that Great Xia is orthodox, the world is all Your Majesty's, and it doesn't matter where Your Majesty is."

This remark immediately won the approval of more officials and generals, and even the emperor was moved, saying that he was willing to lure and kill the thief before returning to Beijing.

Although Cui Zheng did not reprimand Xiang Yun for talking nonsense, he also sneered.

"With Your Majesty as a lure, let the thieves distract and divide the troops, and let the soldiers and horses flank, but Your Majesty returned to the capital, and the thieves attacked the capital, will there be no other soldiers and horses to attack? There are so many guards in the world! ”

"Xiang Dudu is just a clever word, in fact, he wants to keep His Majesty by his side, and he doesn't want to give His Majesty to Mrs. Chu Guo, Li Mingyu's childlike heart is not disguised, Xiang Yun just wears an extra skin as an adult."

The official was annoyed: "Governor Xiang is gentle and decent, and he even hides such a thought. ”

Cui Zheng smiled: "The general doesn't have this kind of mind, but it can't be used, he has a selfish mind, so he can be more competitive and more useful." ”

If you don't have enough ambition, how can you compete with that martial crow? He will not restrict, let alone dislike, the ambitions of the generals.

"Then, now they are clamoring not to return to Beijing, and Your Majesty has also been moved." The official looked uneasy and said, "And most of the people in Linzhou City don't want His Majesty to return to Beijing, saying that the journey is too terrible.....

"After a long period of stability here, people don't want to take risks." Cui Zheng said, "Wenchen and military generals, wealthy merchants, and common people have their own thoughts, which is human nature, but they can't ignore Daxia for their own thoughts, Your Majesty must return to the capital, this is where the orthodox heart of Daxia lies." ”

He stood up and pointed to the tall stack of papers on the table.

"The specific matters of returning to Beijing have been written, and we will go to see Your Majesty and agree on a date for returning to Beijing."

......

......

The emperor is very busy these days, and people come to see him all the time to tell him his views on whether to return to Beijing or not, not only the generals and officials, but also the palace maids and the relatives of the concubines.

Some people cry that the road is dangerous, and they don't want His Majesty to be in danger.

Some people are willing to kill for Your Majesty, assassinate, no matter how you kill, kill Ankang Mountain to clear the way for Your Majesty, and then ask Your Majesty to return to Beijing.

The words of the emperor and Cui Zheng about letting the three princes return to Beijing and stay in Linzhou to guard the people also spread, and the three princes came to return to Beijing immediately.

"The son is willing to pave the dangerous road for his father and lead the guards to meet Ankang Mountain." The young prince was full of spirits and enthusiasm.

The emperor said to my fool with tears: "My father didn't let you go into danger, my father asked you to guard the capital for your father, which proves the unification of Great Xia." ”

But when they heard that the three princes were allowed to return to Beijing, the old men from the capital did not agree, and the three princes did not rely on the lady of Chu when they arrived in the capital at a young age, and the old men did not care about contacting the court officials, and promoted the prestige of the family among the people, and came to the emperor more frequently, crying about the past of the capital and lamenting the present of the capital.

"The capital is in chaos, Your Majesty doesn't return to Beijing, and there is no need for thieves to attack, and the capital itself will be chaotic and lost."

Looking at the old men with gray hair and crying, and looking at the tablets of the dead on the way that they were holding in their hands, the emperor burst into tears and said that I would return to Beijing as soon as I returned to Beijing.

But some other court officials also cried immediately, and their hair was gray and trembling, "From the capital to Linzhou, the old minister has walked through, I know how difficult it is, how much suffering I have suffered, how can the old minister bear to let His Majesty suffer this ordeal, the old minister will die when his body is dead, please let the old ministers explore the way for His Majesty, Your Majesty is uneasy, even if there is a capital, Daxia will not be safe." ”

The emperor turned around again to support these old ministers, and tearfully promised not to risk his life.

The emperor was exhausted and tired when he heard Cui Zheng come to ask for a meeting, and he lied for the first time when he was sick and took medicine and slept without seeing.

For Cui Zheng, it's not like crying twice to appease the past.

"Xiangye let people carry a lot of paperwork." The waiter said in a low voice, "The slave maid let people secretly read it, and what was written was how to return to Beijing, who left first, who broke off, and how did the people divide it into batches..... The specific dates have been written, and after the winter is finished, it is time for His Majesty to approve the edict of the jade seal. ”

The emperor lay on the bed and suddenly sat up again: "Xiangye writes easily, how can I approve it, this crying one by one is like this, how can I go?" How do you get there? Did I force everyone to leave in the end? ”

The chamberlain nodded: "Yes, yes, Xiangye wants to decide to go and persuade everyone, how can he force His Majesty." ”

The emperor sighed: "Everyone has their own thoughts, each has their own reason, how can it be so easy to persuade." ”

The emperor knows in his heart that some people are greedy for life, some people are afraid of death, and some people steal merit, and the inner servants are wronged for the emperor: "They don't want Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

His Majesty's mind is, of course, to return to Beijing.

It was the capital of Great Xia, where there was his father and brother who could not be buried, and the emperor was eager to fly over.

"But I can't ignore the subjects of the world." The emperor sighed and wiped away his tears, and then asked, "Mingyu didn't make any more trouble?" What did Xiang Dudu say? ”

The waiter shook his head: "Prince Mingyu won't come out after being scolded by Xiangye, and Xiang Dudu didn't say anything more, they are a little elegant, don't dare to argue with Xiangye." ”

The emperor clapped his legs with both hands: "They don't go to argue with Xiangye, do they expect me to argue with Xiangye?" They don't make trouble, how can Xiangye think of a way? ”

Xiangye doesn't want to find a way, how to solve this matter?

This matter is actually the simplest, he said the way at the beginning, he secretly went back to the capital first, not only to stabilize Linzhou, but also to intercept and kill halfway from Ankang Mountain, what a simple thing!

It's a real rush to death.

It's not a good thing to only care about yourself and be a good person!

There was a soft rebuttal sound outside the door, and the emperor immediately lay back on the bed and pulled down the tent, and the chamberlain asked who was a little panicked.

"Your Majesty." The voice of the chamberlain sounded outside the door, "Xiang Dudu asks to see you." ”

Although Xiang Yun is not as difficult as Cui Zheng, now that the emperor is annoyed, he is too lazy to act, so he hides in the tent and says, "No." ”

The chamberlain went to the door and whispered: "Your Majesty took the medicine before falling asleep, what is the matter, let Xiang Dudu tell Xiangye first." ”

The waiter outside the door was leaving, but soon returned.

"Governor Xiang said that he has a good way to let His Majesty enter Beijing." He whispered through the crack in the door, "I want to tell Your Majesty first." ”

The waiter in the door scolded in his heart how much money this rabbit cub received from Xiang Yun, but when he heard this, he hesitated and turned back to tell the emperor that he knew the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor wanted to return to the capital in his dreams......

Sure enough, the emperor sat up, looking a little surprised, didn't Xiang Yun, like Li Mingyu, disapprove of him returning to the capital immediately now? Do you want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to earn fame and power? And what to do?

The emperor thought for a moment and let Xiang Yun in.

Xiang Yun leaned over and said: "Your Majesty said that you will not return to the capital, there are soldiers and horses in Linzhou, and there are Zhenwu troops of Mrs. Chu in the capital, which is conducive to fighting against Ankang Mountain, but this tactic is only for soldiers and horses, not for the region, so it is also feasible for Your Majesty to return to the capital." ”

The Emperor sat up straight, but was a little puzzled: "How can that be done?" ”

"Please allow your majesty to go to the capital first and guard the city on behalf of Mrs. Chu." Xiang Yun said, "Then Mrs. Chu Guo came to Linzhou and personally asked Her Majesty to return to Beijing." ”

He looked up at the Emperor.

"Mrs. Chu is so sincere, how can Your Majesty not return to Beijing?"

Then block the mouths of this group of people who don't want to leave, it was Mrs. Chu who forced the emperor, and it has nothing to do with the emperor, nor does it have anything to do with the officials and generals in Linzhou.

The Emperor's hand on his lap was clenched.

"Moreover, Mrs. Chu is famous, the Zhenwu army is mighty, and with her guarding Linzhou, the army and the people will be able to rest assured and avoid the pain of traveling back to Beijing for a long time."

In that case, it will not be him, the emperor, who will leave his people, in case something happens in Linzhou, it will be the matter of Mrs. Chu, and it has nothing to do with the emperor.

The emperor stood up: "Xiang Dudu is thoughtful! ”
