Chapter 52: Wang Wei
Wang Wei was born in the first year of Jingtai and was born on the shore of Taihu Lake, Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture. He is forty-eight years old this year.
His father is a magistrate, so he doesn't have to worry about life, and he has been studying with his father since he was a child, and he is known as a young genius. At the age of sixteen, his father went north to Beijing as an official, and he enrolled in the Guozijian.
Soon, he became a man of the hour for his good writing.
As soon as his article came out, the people of the country would rush to praise him, and some court officials at that time were very surprised and called him "the corporal of the world".
Chenghua ten years, twenty-five years old, won the first place in the township test "Xie Yuan"; In the following year, Zhonghuiyuan; In the palace examination, he won the third place in the first class, that is, Tanhua.
During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin made a rebellion, and Wang Wei repeatedly admonished, but finally resigned and returned to his hometown because he could not save the situation. stayed at home for 16 years, and did not come back until he died.
The articles he made were unbeatable for a while, and he also entered the cabinet as an official, so Tang Yin called him "the first article in China, and the prime minister of the DPRK and China is unparalleled." ”
In addition, he was an honest official, and was called 'the poor old man in the world'.
So Wang Yangming said that Wang Wei is a "perfect person".
This perfect man couldn't sleep at night after he returned, and the prince's words kept echoing in his ears.
Especially that sentence, the relatives are painful, the enemies are fast, if they really follow their thoughts, I am afraid that they will become the accomplices of the Tatars, and it is the people of the Ming Dynasty who suffer.
Bang bang.
"What's wrong?"
This voice made Wang Wei unhappy, he was irritable, and when he returned home, he confessed that no one was allowed to disturb him. How dare you knock on the door?
The subordinate outside the wooden door was also careful, but still said, "Master, it's from the East Palace." ”
East Palace?
Wang Wei's mind moved, and he immediately stood up and walked out.
"Please."
Why did the people who came hide in the black robes and came here late at night?
"Lord Wang."
When I went into the house and looked at it,
Isn't this Liu Jin?
"Father-in-law Liu?" Wang Wei arched his hand, "I don't know if my father-in-law is visiting, and I ask for forgiveness." This...... But what will come from Your Highness? ”
"No, Your Highness didn't know that I was coming to your mansion." Liu Jin glanced behind him and found that the subordinates of the palace had closed the door, so he also sat down with peace of mind.
At this time, this kind of atmosphere, no one will serve you.
Wang Weichai also guessed that it was not an ordinary thing, and he didn't need the few sips of tea when he was entertaining.
However, for a while, he couldn't think about Liu Jin's intention.
"Looking at Lord Wang's appearance, I guess I must have been sleepless all night after returning from the East Palace."
Wang Wei can't deny, "the court bureau, the border pass, the east palace...... I really can't sleep peacefully. ”
"But I don't know, what does Lord Wang think of His Highness's words today, and what is Lord Wang going to do? Whether to support His Highness, or continue to oppose it, or as His Highness said, watch the fire from the other side, and you can also enter the cabinet in the future. ”
Wang Wei is a very proud person.
He said with some dissatisfaction: "If according to what Gonggong Liu said, I stayed awake late at night for this matter, then I, Wang Wei, take my future too seriously." ”
Since it's not, why don't you sleep?
Liu Jin was not annoyed, and arched his hand and said, "Please give me advice." ”
"Wang Yue is indeed Li Guang's henchman, he is arrogant, conceited, and colluded with traitors, how can he be wrong to say that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee oppose him?"
Later, Wang Wei muffled a little more, "But... His Royal Highness's words are not unreasonable, Wang Yue is a long-famous general, and he has fought against Tatars in his life, and he has rarely been defeated. If he had not gone, the Tatars would have indeed benefited the most. I'm just struggling with who is right. As for going out of the cabinet and entering the phase, it's not what I want. ”
"Our family admires, have you thought about it?"
"Not yet." Wang Wei suddenly felt strange, why did you come over in the middle of the night and keep asking me questions, "I don't know my father-in-law, what is the matter with this visit?" ”
Liu Jin didn't go around with him either, "Originally, our family came to give the adult a future, but the adult said that the future is not important." Then our family is here to send the adults a disaster. ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he laughed.
"My father-in-law is a wonderful person. But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
"It's not complicated. His Royal Highness is a very assertive person, and now that Wang Yue's matter has been decided, His Royal Highness has made up his mind, and there is no possibility of returning or changing his words. This thing must be done if it is done, and it must be done if it is not worked. Lord Wang said that he hadn't thought about it yet, and he wasn't in a hurry, but if Lord Wang finally decided to go with His Royal Highness, please go up and play it! ”
In other words, Wang Wei should be invited to lead the performance and fire the first shot!
Wang Wei is a gentleman, but he is not stupid,
When this cannon is released, he is the one who bears the blame.
It's not that he can't take the blame, but he has to know the reason.
"Woe to you. Since it is a disaster, our family must always explain the reason, and we can't ask adults to die in vain. ”
In this room, the candle flame flickered, and there was a little light in the darkness, as if the secret things were hidden in such a corner of the world.
"Don't tell the truth, in fact, the courtiers can't win this trilateral battle between the chief officials. Because His Royal Highness is the East Palace, and behind him is the Emperor. But have you ever thought about it, even if Your Highness wins this battle, what is the greatest danger? ”
Wang Wei frowned in contemplation.
Liu Jin's words jumped out of the matter itself and looked at it from a higher perspective.
In other words, even if Wang Yue really went, there would still be danger in the future.
That's ......
"Hiss......" Wang Wei's eyebrows suddenly jumped, "What my father-in-law means is that Wang Yue has lost the battle!" ”
"Lord Wang is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and such a talent is an adult." Liu Jin bowed his hand and politely greeted him, "The so-called impermanence of soldiers and impermanence of water. Even if Wang Yue has the name of a famous general, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not stumble. Your Royal Highness, you must carry the burden and risk the disapproval of the world to push Wang Yue to be the chief official of the three sides, then Wang Yue must win the battle. Can...... In case of...... When the time comes, does it mean that His Royal Highness has made a mistake, and where will the face of the East Palace be placed? ”
Needless to say.
Wang Wei also understood, "So this head can't be raised by His Royal Highness." ”
Speaking of killing heads, the emperor has been waiting for the courtiers to recommend candidates, and he has not taken the initiative to speak, has he not thought about the possibility of Wang Yue being defeated? Then everyone will say, "Look, that your emperor will not listen to us." In this case, where will Da Ming's face go.
Therefore, Liu Jin's 'future' and 'misfortune' all make sense.
Wang Yue won the battle, and this matter was considered a success. The crown prince naturally remembered his merits.
If Wang Yue loses, then there must be a person who bears the blame, and at that time, this matter is that Wang Wei must persuade the prince to do this. The first evil must be done, and if you don't do it, the prince will admit this mistake.
According to this principle, it is naturally a great disaster.
"Lord Wang, Your Highness can wait, but the situation at the border can not wait, as fast as one or two days, or as slow as three or five days, Your Highness will definitely provoke the momentum. At that time, our family can only go to another king, begging him to win, and succeed. ”
"Of course...... If the adults choose not to help His Highness, or even oppose His Highness, then our family has not been here tonight, and we have not said these words. ”
That's all there is to say, and it's nonsense to stay and talk about it.
So Liu Jin got up, "My lord, stay here, our family is leaving." ”
Wang Wei shook his arm and gave Liu Jin a formal salute, "The words of the father-in-law are the real words of seeking the country!" ”
"My lord has an excessive reputation, our family is just a eunuch, and we can't make a country. Such a major event has to be planned by His Royal Highness, and what our family seeks is how to protect His Highness. ”
