Chapter 114: A Fierce Struggle
Chapter 114: A White-Hot Struggle
"Therefore, this expedition can only be led by the second prince!!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
Seeing that Wang Hongwenjie had already spoken out, the ministers from all walks of life also stood up one after another to express their positions.
Yuan Benchu was amazed, he didn't expect that his son had grown to this point, and so many courtiers would choose him, and it seemed that he was not in vain to cultivate him carefully.
Yuan Yang was still thinking, although he didn't know why Yuan Hai had to lead the army in person, but no matter what, as long as it really got his wish, Yuan Zhang would definitely not be able to kill him.
When he saw these generals, they were all silent at this time, obviously the same as him, and they didn't have anything to say.
Yuan Hai smiled and blossomed, and his heart was extremely excited. Compared with these martial artists, the ministers on his side are all sharp-tongued, skillful, and eloquent. Although the hard power is not comparable to those generals, but above the court, it has always been these civil servants who dominate.
After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, Yuan Benchu finally raised his head, and said with a tired face: "Since Hai'er is interested, Aiqing has no opinion, and the widow also feels very reasonable. The widow ordered Hai'er to be the temporary commander, light the men and horses from the Li family's army, and set off in three days!"
Yuan Benchu said: "The widow is tired, so let's do it today, and retire from the dynasty." ”
"King Shengming, send off the king!"
After Yuan Benchu left, Yuan Hai was in a good mood, and walked out of the court with a big smile, followed by many sycophantic officials.
Before leaving, Yuan Hai did not forget to taunt Yuan Yang, now that the two have openly competed, he doesn't have to worry about his brother's feelings, he said: "Big brother, the injury a few years ago, does it still hurt now? For my brother, I have some pills there, which can treat my eldest brother's injury, if the eldest brother does not dislike it, he can personally send it to the eldest brother's mansion." ”
Yuan Yang's face was cold, and he laughed angrily: "Yuan Hai, don't be happy too early, when you return triumphantly, I will help you heal your injuries!"
"Alas, it's a pity. Yuan Hai shook his head, with a disappointed look, and said, "Forget it, since the eldest brother doesn't appreciate it, it's not good to talk about it for the younger brother." For my brother, I just want to tell my eldest brother that I, Yuan Hai, still regard my eldest brother as a brother. Hahahahaha!"
In the end, Yuan Hai didn't even believe it himself, and thought it was very funny. And the ministers behind him also stood up.
Soon after, Yuan Yang and a cadre of generals were left in the court.
When Yuan Yang walked out, his eyes swept over the generals, and those generals also understood one by one, and they all bowed their heads. Those people, half of them were Yuan Yang's subordinates, and half of Li Yongbo's people were all bigwigs in charge of Li Jiajun.
Yuan Yang sneered in his heart, even if you are a prince who personally leads the army, I will still give you an empty shelf, see how you save Yuan Zhang!
......
After Yuan Hai walked out of the palace, he immediately sent someone to invite Zhou Zhen to the mansion, and he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for Yuan Yang and Li Yongbo to easily give the army to themselves for nothing.
But Zhou Zhen did not accept the invitation to go to the Second Prince's Mansion, but gave Yuan Hai a tip. And asked the person to spread the word: In the past three days, His Royal Highness the Second Prince only eats, drinks and has fun, reads more poetry books in his spare time, and learns to compose poems and recite poems by himself. Remember not to persuade the generals to go to the general's platform, and said that the fewer people who will come to the general's platform in three days, the better. In the end, he also said that this bag would not be opened until three days later, on the Dianjiang platform.
When Yuan Hai heard these words, he was also extremely surprised, didn't Zhou really know that Li Yongbo and Yuan Yang would not be able to give him the army? At this time, he should send people to persuade the generals who controlled the troops, right? Moreover, at the same time of persuasion, he also had to give crazy gifts and money, right?
But Zhou Zhen said this to himself, which is incomprehensible.
What if on the day of the expedition, not a single general, or even a soldier, is willing to go out with the army? Wouldn't that be disobeying the king's orders? This is a capital offense!
Yuan Hai was puzzled in his heart and asked, "Have you asked Tai Shuo Gongzi, why did it take three days for this bag to be opened?"
The servant said, "I asked, and the prince said that the secret of heaven should not be revealed." ”
"Got it, go down and go to the housekeeper to get a thousand taels of gold. ”
The servant was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
Yuan Hai played with this little trick, he thought about it, and walked back and forth in the study for an hour, but he still couldn't think of why he did it. However, he definitely didn't think that Zhou Zhen was joking, he only knew that Zhou Zhen must have his own ideas when he did this.
So, according to what Zhou Zhen said, Yuan Hai first put away the little bag, and then allowed people to greet the guests in the house, set up a banquet, eat, drink and have fun, and chant poems and have fun.
......
On the other side, the Grand Prince's Mansion.
After Yuan Yang walked out of the palace, he also immediately called Li Yongbo, Liu Tianming and Yan Hanyang.
Yuan Yang told what happened in the court in 1510, and when Li Yongbo heard it, he was also remorseful, he knew that he wouldn't call himself sick, and he couldn't say that he was sick in the early court, so he let Yuan Zhang go, which was a pity.
Yuan Yang said: "My opinion, give Yuan Hai an empty shelf army, and drag it out if it can." If his father intervened, he would reluctantly give him a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
Yan Hanyang didn't think twice: "I agree, hum, with the strength of the second prince's side, I'm afraid it won't do anything to us." ”
Li Yongbo was undecided and looked at Liu Tianming. At this time, Liu Tianming was pondering, he didn't give a direct suggestion, but asked: "The eldest prince just said that Prince Yuan Hai was the first to speak, are you sure it's not Wang Hong or Wen Jie, or is it another Wen Chen?"
Yuan Yang replied in surprise: "Yes." This time in the early dynasty, it was indeed Yuan Hai who spoke first, and even when there was a confrontation, Yuan Hai said the most, but Wang Hong and Wen Jie waited until the end to speak this time. ”
Liu Tianming touched his chin and said, "Really, then this is strange." ”
The other three were puzzled, and Yan Hanyang asked, "What's so strange about this? Hasn't Yuan Hai been involved in the government for more than a year? It's normal to make suggestions in the court?"
Liu Tianming smiled and said, "Of course, it is normal for Prince Yuan Hai to make a suggestion, but, Prince Yuan Yang, since the beginning of the struggle between your two brothers, until today, have you ever seen Prince Yuan Hai take the lead in putting forward his opinion?"
Yuan Yang frowned, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really none!
Liu Tianming said with a smile: "Hehe, it is obvious that Prince Yuan Hai has a master behind him. ”
