The crown prince's words were loud and sound, directly responding to the instigation of someone behind Wang Wei, and asking Wang Wei to take responsibility.

What is his responsibility? The world is from my old Zhu family.

Zhu Houzhao is to save face for his own people. What does that mean in that sentence is that a small four-grade official can bear? You take yourself too seriously!

However, these people are not like Li Guang who can threaten people with death.

I have to go back to this matter and talk about the prince first.

Speaking of which, the prince is the future emperor, but in most dynasties, this is actually a somewhat embarrassing political symbol.

Thinking about it according to common sense, who would offend the prince? Isn't that a hole for your own future?

But this is not necessarily the case.

First, it is the so-called 'integrity' of these courtiers, if they are obedient to everything when they see the prince, then they should be even more obedient in front of the emperor, but this is not the case, right?

Second, in the Hongzhi Dynasty, this was not a reason. But most of the other time, the prince, this position is actually very delicate.

Let's put it this way. In the future, he Zhu Houzhao will become the emperor, and he will also have a crown prince, what happened to the ministers at that time? All go to the prince's mansion to burn the prince's cold stove?

What about my emperor and the Ninety-Five, where is the position?

So most of the time, whether it is a civil official or a eunuch, it is easy to be killed by the emperor when he holds the prince every day.

Sometimes there are people around the crown prince, who are acquiesced and arranged by the emperor. Because he is a prince, after all, he is noble, and sooner or later the country will be handed over to him, so he will be given some team to use in the future.

But this thing has never been such a simple idea as 'the prince is the future emperor, and I can't offend him'.

People sometimes can't help themselves.

On the other hand, it was these people in the Winter Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace who suddenly knelt down for Zhu Houzhao, and said gratefully that he was the reincarnation of Yao Shun, would their future be good?

Not necessarily.

Like Zhou Jing and Wu Kuan, they were all old men when Hongzhi was the prince,

They are all 'ministers and ministers' in public opinion, and if they flatter here, they will directly end their political lives.

In the warm pavilion,

Zhou Jing saw that Wu Kuan had really fallen again, so he answered and asked: "Since this is the case, Weichen is bold!" Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show me why Wang Yue should be appointed as the chief official of the three sides? ”

Old man Zhou just spoke in a hard tone, which made you uncomfortable. But he went straight and didn't turn around, but it was fine.

"I can answer this question, Lord Zhou. But I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to answer me first, why do you insist on opposing this matter? ”

Zhou Jing's beard shook as he spoke, "Weichen has just said that Wang Yue is immoral and unrighteous, clinging to the traitor Li Guang, how can he be qualified for such a heavy task?" ”

"Can't do it?" Zhu Houzhao asked rhetorically, "How do I remember that Wang Yue's exploits in the northwest are not small?" Lord Zhou was an official in the court at that time, so he should remember it. ”

Well, that's not a good answer.

Because that's the truth.

But at this time, Wu Kuan said: "Wang Yue has indeed made small contributions to the court, but it is also the duty of a courtier." What's more, relying on the virtue of the first emperor and relying on the lives of the soldiers, the northwest at that time was not all the work of Wang Yue alone! ”

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes in his heart,

Old guy, if you have the ability, you can give Yuan back.

"What Lord Wu means is that this time is different from the past, in the past, there was the virtue of the emperor, but now there is not, in the past, there were soldiers who used their lives, but now there is not?"

Wu Kuan's old face fell, this prince is too good at wearing such a scary hat.

"When did the old minister say such a thing? It doesn't mean that way! ”

"And what do you mean?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked, "Wang Yue is still Wang Yue, he has become the emperor and the soldiers, it was okay at the time, but now he says no, this palace really doesn't understand, his father is so benevolent and virtuous, how can he not even have the virtue of letting Wang Yue win a battle?!" ”

This, this, this,

Wu Kuan knew that the prince had a talent for sophistry, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden and so sharp.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Jing interjected at this time.

“…… Lord Zhou, please wait! Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, he was in a good position, how could he interrupt you, "Other problems can be ignored by this palace." But it's about my father, Lord Wu must say something! The father and the emperor are in the court, is the virtue of the father enough for Wang Yue to return triumphantly? ! ”

"Your Majesty's holy virtue is to be able to protect me, and all the generals of the Ming Dynasty have won all battles! Wang Yue is not the only one! ”

Wu Kuan can't help this question, he has already said it to a small extent.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about these details, and immediately qualitatively after getting this, "That's good." That is to say, you also think that General Wang Yue can win by leading the troops. Lord Zhou, you have heard, your question, Lord Wu has already answered it for me. ”

This......

This cannot be said the other way around now,

Otherwise, it means that the emperor's holiness is not enough.

"Your Highness!" Zhou Jing finally couldn't help but speak at this time, "The military situation at the border is a major event in the court, and it is reasonable to say that it is not to win." will seek a hundred victories outside, and naturally rely on the emperor's holy virtues, which is true. In that case, why not change to a gentleman for a while, a loyal servant of the country? Does His Highness really think that sending a villain with a disadvantaged virtue is beneficial to the court and the society? ”

Zhu Houzhao really felt helpless about this group of people.

"Lord Zhou's question was too bookish. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. If the commander of the army is really so easy to choose, there is no need for the father and the emperor to compete here. The more he is a man who knows soldiers and wars, he naturally wants to push him out at this time. Just like you, Lord Zhou, is an upright person, so your father let you be in charge of the world's money and food. Why didn't the palace recommend you to be the chief of the trilateral system? ”

"Lord Zhou, I really want to ask a word," the prince's tone sighed and helplessly here, "Is it important to insist on the so-called justice and righteousness in your heart, or is the safety of the country and the life and death of the people more important?" For the so-called Qing Dynasty program, he thinks he is doing the right thing, but behind this correct thing, the imperial court can't send a famous general, and the Ming Dynasty doesn't know how many more soldiers and people will die. ”

"You have been talking for a long time, it is nothing more than who is a gentleman and who is a villain, and the country wants to use a gentleman and abandon a villain, which is right. But who of you ever mentioned the soldiers and people at the border gates? Wang Yue's talent in commanding the army is the best in the world. Send him, and my Ming people and soldiers can suffer the least casualties. Have you considered any of these? ”

Lord Wu said: "But how does Your Highness know that Wang Yue can minimize the casualties of our army and people?" ”

"And you know what?!" Zhu Houzhao asked fiercely, "Isn't this kind of thing based on past experience and examples?" Wang Yue was rarely defeated in battles with the Tatars, and he was the most likely to do so! ”

"I'll say a polite word again. Your Lord Zhou and Lord Wu believe in the palace, but how many people in the court dare not speak out to support Wang Yue, because they are afraid of getting involved with Li Guang! ”

"Your Highness! Your Majesty is a virtuous monarch, and a virtuous monarch is in power, where can there be so many villains in the mouth of His Royal Highness? Zhou Jing countered loudly.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "Don't talk about any virtuous and villains with this palace!" The people who are here in the Qianqing Palace today, you all know whether there is the kind of person that this palace just talked about! You are also loyal ministers who have done your best for my Ming Dynasty. Wang Yue is a famous general in the world, but now the court can't send it because of the situation, you all think about why this is for the palace! Is it because there are too many arguments between gentlemen and villains? ”

"There were officials who heard about the incident before, and they accused the officials indiscriminately, and even your Zhou Jing became a villain! Isn't this a joke in the history books?! Now you are arguing in front of your father again, and if you win, what will be the result? That is, the court sent someone who is not as good as Wang Yue, you are happy, and the palace tells you that the Tatars are happier than you! ”
