Chapter 168 The British Duke was ordered to be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!
This old saying is true, the more you are in a high position, the more you need to be low-key and humble, otherwise, it is extremely easy to attract trouble.
"Madame is polite, slave little Guizi."
Xiao Guizi didn't expect the British Duchess to be so gentle, without the arrogance of the Duchess of the Kingdom, she was very easy to get along with, which made him feel a little more good about the British Duchess.
"Grandpa Gui, come, come and sit down."
Sun beckoned Xiao Guizi to sit down.
After that, asked,
"Father-in-law Gui, I don't know why the king sent you here?"
"Madam, this, a great event, the king has crowned the second prince as the third rank of General Zhaoyi, and the previous matter of the Fu prince has also been decided, and it has nothing to do with the second son. Everything was done by the emperor's edict, and the king had issued an edict to confiscate all the properties of the Fu Wangfu, and his family members were reduced to commoners. ”
Xiao Guizi hurriedly said.
"What?"
"Seal the dog as General Sanpin Zhaoyi? Father-in-law Gui, did you really say that? He didn't say anything else, punishment or something? ”
Sun asked with some surprise.
She really didn't expect that King Fu was killed as a big thing, and in the end, it was actually such a result, and the case was closed lightly with one sentence.
Alas!
This is what the supreme power of the king can do.
Perhaps this is the capriciousness of power.
"No, no, the edict of canonization also let the slave bring it to Madame. In addition, the British Duke was also named the general of the thief, controlled the army, and was responsible for the war against the rebel Li Zicheng. ”
Xiao Guizi knows that the British government is now in full swing, and the two members of the family are armed with heavy troops, which is a great honor.
This is one of the reasons why he decided to establish a good relationship with the British government.
He clearly judged that the power of the British government would reach a new level, and at that time, this noble family of the first honor of the Ming Dynasty would be worthy of its name and genuine.
A British Duke Zhang Broad & Bright and a Zhang Rui, as long as the two of them do not die halfway, the glory of the British Mansion will continue forever, and no one can easily shake it.
"The Great General of the Thieves? also controls the armies, isn't this the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses? Father-in-law Gui, is this gentleman really saying that? ”
Sun asked.
"Of course it's true, madam, this edict has been sent to Shangshu Province, and now it has been passed on to the front-line camps."
Xiao Guizi said.
"How so? How could my lord carry such a heavy burden, my British government is afraid of losing his trust in the king. ”
Sun said anxiously.
"It's okay, we all believe in the British Gong, he is the god of war of our Ming Kingdom, and he will definitely be able to lead our Ming army to defeat the rebel Li Zicheng and return my mountains and rivers."
Xiao Guizi's words are not compliments, but the truth from the heart.
Now that the Daming Kingdom Building is about to fall, the reliance of these ordinary people is not Chongzhen on the dragon chair at all, but the British public Zhang Shize.
Zhang Shize attacked the Gao family army in a surprise battle at night, and wiped out tens of thousands of people in the first battle, which shocked the world in one fell swoop and made everyone regard him as an idol.
After a period of small talk, Sun asked Xiao Guizi to leave, and she asked Xiao Guizi to give 500 taels of silver tickets as tea money.
But in the end, Xiao Guizi did not accept it.
He can't accept it, and he doesn't dare to accept it, he is as smart as him, and he also knows that letting the Zhang family owe a favor can be more affordable than five hundred taels of silver.
(Casting a long line to catch a big fish)
He still understands this truth.
"Cheng'er, everything is as you expected, it seems that this time our monarch really wants to reuse our British Mansion, but the mountains and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings, which is not necessarily a good thing. It would be good if the rebels could be defeated, but if the battle was lost, this great favor could also turn into a great killing opportunity. ”
Sun still understood very well, and was not carried away by the great grace in front of him.
She can calmly analyze the murderous motive behind this, and she is worthy of being a virtuous helper of the British government, and she is really smart.
"Mother, now we can only take one step at a time."
Zhang Cheng on the side persuaded.
"Yes, we can only bless your father now to defeat the rebel Li Zicheng."
Sun said.
While she said these words, she looked at Zhang Cheng pointedly, and after what happened just now, she could also see that her eldest son was not a thing in the pool.
Thoughtful and scheming, it's not simple at all.
Alas!!
For other families, it is naturally extremely happy to have such a pair of sons, but the Sun family sees it far away.
She's worried about whether her two sons will kill each other in the future?!
This is not alarmism.
She has always known Zhang Shize's ambitions, and now their Zhang family is getting closer and closer to that throne.
Once he replaces the Zhu family in the future, then the battle between Zhang Rui and Zhang Cheng will be unavoidable.
One is brave, the other is scheming, both sons are equally excellent, the palms and backs of their hands are meat, they fight, no matter who wins or loses, it is the loss of their old Zhang family, and it is also the last thing she wants to see as a mother.
Rebel against the general!
Zhang Shize!
General Sanpin Zhaoyi!
Zhang Rui!
What else is King Fu's death is Zhang Rui's edict, isn't this a joke? Could it be more ridiculous?
(Blind)
When the cabinet received the edict sent by Wang Chengen, the cabinet officials on duty were filled with great dissatisfaction.
Afterwards.
This sudden situation was sent to Wei Zaode's house as soon as possible, and it happened that Hu Dingchun, the head of the household department, and several other scholars were also there.
"Lord Shoufu, we can't sit still like this, if Zhang Shize is allowed to take charge of the military power of my Ming Kingdom, then won't we become lambs to be slaughtered and slaughtered."
Hu Dingchun, as the secretary of the household department, naturally has his ability, especially the ability to manage money, which is absolutely a must.
Over the years, the property collected by their Donglin Party has been because of Hu Dingchun's operation, so in the end, no matter how the court investigates, it has no effect, and every time it is in vain.
As soon as the account books passed over Hu Dingchun's hands, they immediately became clean, and no clues could be found, even if there were some flaws, they were not painful.
"Yes, Shousuke-sama, we can't go on like this."
"We must rescue Chen Gelao."
"Let's put pressure on the king."
Pei Ju, an official of the cabinet and an official of the Ministry of Industry of the Fourth Product, said.
He's new to the mix.
"This?"
"Lord Shoufu, what you said is not unreasonable, we can't let the king trust those nobles so much, and now Zhang Rui has taken back the military power of the two Huai armies by bloody means."
"I'm worried that the king will hand over the military power to those nobles, such as the traitor Li Guozhen."
"If the monarch has more military power in his hands, then there will be something to do with our cabinet, I am afraid that our Donglin Party will also be wiped out."
"Over the years, the king has been controlled by us everywhere, how can he not have resentment."
Qian Yizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said.
Today's six departments only lack one vacancy in the Ministry of War, and the former Secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Denian, was slaughtered by Zhang Rui.
"Shousuke-sama, ladies and gentlemen, I think we can't go toe-to-toe with your lord now."
"As the saying goes, this time, that time."
"We've suffered a lot of setbacks right now, and to some extent, we're on the back foot."
"We don't have much military power."
"There aren't many people available."
"If we continue to work against the king, maybe the king will also cut off our heads and raid our homes like those military attaches in the two Huai battalions."
Xu Runyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.
