Chapter 845: Border Pass
"Is this delicious?" Ruyu pointed to a piece of pastry on the table and asked.
"It should be okay," Bijin grabbed a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Well, it's delicious, this one is delicious." ”
Ruyu seemed to be so excited, and she couldn't help but grab a piece and stuff it into her mouth.
"Tartle, it's mung bean flavor again," Ruyu spit out the pastry in her mouth with a disgusted expression.
Ruyu doesn't like to eat pastries made of mung beans, so there are a lot of pastries, and Ruyu doesn't like to eat them.
Whenever she is with Nijin, she wants to eat those pastries first, if it is not made of mung beans, then Ruyu will take them to eat.
"Haha, haha," Rujin couldn't help but laugh, "but this one is really delicious." ”
In addition to mung beans, this pastry also has lotus seeds and cashew nuts, and the fragrant aroma when it is just baked is that no one can help but take a bite.
"I don't want to eat it anyway." Ruyu pursed her lips.
Not long after, Zhou Yuheng was about to take Zhou Bijin away.
Ruyu was very reluctant, holding Bijin's hand and unwilling to let go.
Nijin said, "Ruyu, I will come to see you again." ”
Like jade staring at the back of like brocade.
On the main hall, hundreds of officials are in line.
Lin Ce was wearing a purple-blue court robe and sat on the dragon chair, with several pieces of jade inlaid on the golden crown on his head, and a pair of coiled dragons inlaid in the center.
Offstage, Zhou Yuheng stood aside wearing a unicorn pattern gown.
This is the third day in a row that the same thing has been discussed, and many officials who originally had different opinions have gradually reached a consensus, but Zhou Yuheng and Lin Ce still hold opposite opinions, and neither of them is willing to take a half step back.
"The defense of this pass, the most important thing, is to have a general loyal to the court to guard it, and other than that, it's not the point." Lin Ce said seriously, and there was no room for the slightest suspicion.
"Your Majesty, the border is very important, in addition to the soldiers, the city wall is even more important." Zhou Yuheng could see that Lin Ce didn't want to build the city wall, but Zhou Yuheng still had to express his opinion.
In Zhou Yuheng's view, it is inappropriate for border defense to rely on individuals alone, first, not every soldier will be loyal to the Great Ming Kingdom, and second, when the soldiers are old and frail, there is still great uncertainty.
One is the emperor, the other is the regent, and the rest of the officials are also silent.
At this time, talking too much will offend people, and not speaking may be the best way.
As soon as Zhou Yuheng's words fell, Lin Ce's face suddenly became a dark cloud.
If it weren't for Zhou Yuheng's great achievements, Lin Ce's holy decree would have made Zhou Yuheng's head fall to the ground.
Lin Ce has always been obedient to Zhou Yuheng, but as Lin Ce grew up, Lin Ce became more and more of his own ideas.
Lin Ce naturally attaches great importance to the defense of this side of the pass and the safety of the country, but Lin Ce also thought that if the city wall was built, the project would be huge and the people would be injured.
Lin Ce didn't want the people to suffer. I didn't want anyone to talk about building the walls.
But Zhou Yuheng didn't think so.
In order for the country to be stable for a long time, everyone should pay sacrifices.
"Please also ask the emperor to think twice." Zhou Yuheng clenched his fists with both hands and said with a serious face.
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind." Lin Ce frowned, waved his hand and said.
All the officials lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
Zhou Yuheng saw that Lin Ce's attitude was so resolute, so he didn't say anything anymore and quietly stepped aside.
After retiring from the dynasty, Zhou Yuheng drank sullen wine alone. Lin Ce didn't come over to comfort Zhou Yuheng.
After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yuheng became a little excited.
"This Lin Ce seems to have grown his wings and wants to fly, and he openly opposes the idea I put forward." Zhou Yu put the wine glass on the table violently. Said angrily.
"The prince is angry, if this word reaches the emperor's ears, he will lose his head." The servant on the side reminded in a whisper.
"He dares, I'm his uncle!" Zhou Yuheng has a lot of grievances in his heart, but now in addition to drinking to relieve boredom, Zhou Yuheng really doesn't have a good way to get rid of it.
Zhou Yuheng drank one jar of wine after another, and after a while, he got himself drunk.
Slept all night.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yuheng did not go to the morning court because of his illness, and after Lin Ce retired from the court, Zhou Yuheng found Lin Ce who was reviewing the recital.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been ill recently, and I have come to ask for my resignation, hoping that the emperor will be approved." Zhou Yuheng said softly, but his attitude was resolute.
Lin Ce was a little surprised, put down the fold in his hand and stood up.
"Where my uncle is unwell, I will ask the imperial doctor to treat my uncle."
"No need, heart disease still needs heart medicine," Zhou Yuheng rejected Lin Ce's suggestion.
Lin Ce saw that Zhou Yuheng was determined to leave, and thought that there was no major incident in the palace recently, so he allowed Zhou Yuheng.
Soon, Zhou Zhengzheng learned the news and found Lin Ce as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, why did you let Yu Heng leave like this?" Zhou Zheng was a little anxious, if there was no Zhou Yuheng in the court, there would soon be chaos.
"Queen Mother, my uncle wants to rest, so I'll let him rest. Lin Ce didn't think Zhou Yuheng was that important,"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, virtuous monarchs have listened to both sides and understood things, and it is normal for the regent to have different political opinions from you." Zhou Zhengzheng tried to make Lin Ce change his attitude towards Zhou Yuheng.
Not only whether to build the city wall this time, but many things in the court still need to be discussed by Lin Ce and Zhou Yuheng. And what Zhou Zhengzheng cares about most is nothing more than that Lin Ce can sit on the throne for a longer time.
"The queen mother is too worried, and there are still many ministers in the court who are loyal to me." Lin Ce said lightly.
Zhou Zheng saw that he couldn't change Lin Ce immediately, so he didn't come hard, and just when it was time to eat, Zhou Zhengzheng asked people to prepare, and he wanted to have a meal with Lin Ce.
Soon, a delicious meal was served.
Zhou Zheng specially arranged a few dishes that Lin Ce liked to eat, and Lin Ce hadn't eaten with Zhou Zhengzheng for a while, so he put down what he was doing, and Lin Ce sat down happily.
"The queen mother has a heart," Lin Ce's heart warmed when he saw the dishes on the table.
"Eat, I see you've lost a little weight lately," Zhou Zheng smiled slightly.
Zhou Zhengzheng's warmth quickly soothed Lin Ce.
At the dinner table, Zhou Zhengzheng no longer talked about things in the court, but just chatted with Lin Ce wholeheartedly to talk about life.
"Your Majesty, you can eat more of this," Zhou Zhengzheng personally sandwiched a piece of chestnut for Lin Ce.
This chestnut is the kind of small chestnut, which is very glutinous and fragrant, and Lin Ce's favorite food is also this kind of chestnut.
"Hmm," Lin Ce ate one very satisfied, and one bite at a time.
After eating with Lin Ce, Zhou Zheng tidied up a little, and then went to Zhou Yuheng's house again.
