Chapter 010: Prime Minister Zhang
Lonely people, can be lonely, have their own reasons to be lonely, but anyone who can endure loneliness, can keep the lonely, there is always a piece of heaven in his heart, Mu Yang's heart, revenge is the first, he occupies the lonely emptiness with a vengeful heart, and passes the boring time with good memories, only in this way will the days not be sad, and the time of nearly half a month can barely cope with it.
But except for the vegetable garden and firewood house, the outside world is not so simple, on this day, Prime Minister Zhang came to Duanmu Palace, "What is he doing?" Scar understands that this Prime Minister Zhang has not come to Duanmu Mansion for a few days throughout the year.
His Royal Highness looked at the person who reported coldly and said, "Please invite him to the living room!"
Then came to the living room with a scar, and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng led three or four people to the living room, "Oh, Prime Minister Zhang, what kind of wind blew you to me?"
Prime Minister Zhang arched his hands, snorted, and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm really sorry to disturb your Qing Xiu, I have always wanted to come to the palace to visit, but I am entangled in official business, and I have never had a chance!"
While they were greeting, and after the host and guest seats were decided, the honest man had already served tea, and His Royal Highness the Prince said, "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng has every opportunity, and has been working hard for my Yuanyue Kingdom, where to talk about what to visit, I welcome Prime Minister Zhang here at any time, but I don't know how Prime Minister Zhang is free to come to my house today?"
The prince was also straightforward, and when he asked about the matter, Prime Minister Zhang took a sip of tea slowly, and said slowly, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I heard that when His Royal Highness the Prince went to Qianfeng City, although the soldiers he brought with him were all wiped out, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince also brought back a young man from Qianfeng City, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
His Royal Highness the Prince knows very well that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is not completely sure, it is impossible for him to come to the house to ask about this matter, paper can never contain the fire, he has no way to say panic, it really can't be fake, it can't be fake, he can't say panic, he can solve the siege for a while, but what should I do about the things that follow? He smiled and said, "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is really discerning, has vast magical powers, and has no matter how big or small, even such a small matter, he has personally come to ask!"
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man beside Prime Minister Zhang Cheng didn't wait for Prime Minister Zhang to speak, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince is really extraordinary, such a big thing, to put it mildly, is it a trivial matter, as a prince, don't you know the laws of the Yuanyue Kingdom, but all wars, food and captives must be handed over to the military department, and everything taken must be handed over to the household department?"
This young man was disrespectful and a little aggressive, where could Scar listen to it, and said coldly, "Hmph, boy, what kind of thing are you, how can you teach His Royal Highness the prince a lesson?"
The young man wanted to say something, but he was motioned by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng to sit down, and said with a smile, "The sword general is angry, and the dog is ignorant." ”
It turns out that this young man is the son of Prime Minister Zhang Ruran, this person relies on his father is Prime Minister, with a thick mouth, and has been following behind his father, as if he is the second Prime Minister of Yuanyue Kingdom, when he walks, his feet are lifted to the sky!
Scar looked at Zhang Ruran coldly, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but the prince spoke, "Gongzi is reasonable, this king knows this law, but the people brought back by this king do not combine the income from war and food, besides, if a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child in the mountains is handed over to the military department, he is afraid that the child will be frightened, so he will stay in the house and do some rough work of chopping wood and farming!"
Prime Minister Zhang's eyes radiated a cunning look, his face was full of smiles, he gently picked up the tea, took a sip, and said to His Royal Highness the Prince with a smile, "Your Royal Highness, you are kind-hearted, this is a well-known thing in our Yuanyue Kingdom, but His Royal Highness the Prince, this rumor is terrible, if it is known by outsiders, it will not be good, it will damage the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince, right?"
This Prime Minister Zhang is a scheming man, and in his words, on the surface, it seems that he is reminding His Royal Highness the Prince, but in essence, it is a threat to let His Royal Highness the Prince hand over Mu Yang!
The prince was helpless, he understood that if Mu Yang was handed over to the military department, torture was indispensable, and whether he could return to the prince's mansion, let alone it, he thought for a long time, nodded, and said, "What Prime Minister Zhang said is extremely true, so let's do it, I will explain the situation to the monarch tomorrow morning, and wait for the monarch to decide, what do you think, Prime Minister?"
A smug smile filled Prime Minister Zhang's old face, he shook his head gently, and said, "I don't think it's appropriate, Your Royal Highness, in the early dynasty, facing the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if you say that the young man was brought back from Qianfeng City, what will the civil and military officials think of this?
It seems that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's father and son came to Duanmu Wangfu at this time, and it is inevitable to win Mu Yang, everything he said just now is just a foreshadowing, and the ultimate goal is to take Mu Yang away!!
"What? You want to take that kid away? Why? Even if you want to hand it over to the Ministry of War, you can only bring it to us and hand it over, and we brought people back, so why should you hand it over? Even if you want to ask for merit and reward, you won't grab merit and grab it to the palace!" Scar was so angry that his fists were clenched like sandbags, and what he hated most were those courteous Wenchen in the court, one set in his mouth, and another set in his heart, he was eager to jump over and kill his two fathers and sons with one fist.
Prime Minister Zhang was not frightened by the scar, he put down the teacup in his hand, smiled, and said, "General Dao must have misunderstood his true appearance, where am I robbing the merit, I am obviously to relieve the siege for His Royal Highness the Prince, think about it, if His Royal Highness the Prince is brought to the court, if a minister asks why he didn't hand it in at that time, and the matter has been handed over for a long time after half a month, how should His Royal Highness the Prince explain?
The prince said, "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is reasonable, since this is the case, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to come with me, go to the firewood room, and take that kid to the military department!"
He was reluctant to hand over Mu Yang, because he knew that after handing him over, Mu Yang would have to suffer hardship, but what could he do? This Prime Minister Zhang, who clearly said that he was thinking about him, was actually here to bring people, and how could there be anything that he had already determined that would not be successful? Rather than handing him over to the Ministry of War, it was better not to bring him back to Yuanyue Kingdom.
Scar looked helplessly at His Royal Highness the Prince who stood up, he knew very well in his heart that this weapon went, after a period of torture, everything changed, many people could not withstand that kind of torture, even if they survived, they didn't know where they would be sent, he and His Royal Highness the Prince were born and died, His Royal Highness the Prince never took in prisoners, or disbanded on the spot, "If you want to stay, you can stay, and if you don't want to stay, as long as you don't become an enemy of my Yuanyue Kingdom, you can go home with the weapons in your hands." ”
He never took prisoners, because he knew that if there were few people, he would have to hand them over to the army, even if he was a prince, and if there were many prisoners, he would send them to the nearest places after forming them, and never took possession of them. This time he went to Qianfeng City, he didn't know why His Royal Highness the Prince would bring Mu Yang back to Yuanyue Kingdom.
Under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Prince, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's father and son went straight to the firewood room from the living room to the courtyard.
