248 Impossible, absolutely impossible
In the Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City, many ministers were lined up on both sides, but Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne, but his face was cold, looking at an old man with white hair and beard below, and said in a cold tone: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Mao Qing verify that Zhou Qing's impeachment remarks originally originated from the people in your house, what do you say about this?" ”
Hearing Emperor Hongwu's words, everyone in the palace couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Han Gong, who was the imperial master Li Shanchang.
Jin Yiwei was originally not famous, but in the case of the original prime minister Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong was deceived from his superiors and subordinates, and everything he did was shaken cleanly, and he became famous in one fell swoop, and no one dared to despise Jin Yiwei.
Now, it is Jinyi Wei who has verified it, and these people in the palace don't think it's a false accusation. It was also for this reason that they were all a little curious and stared at Li Shanchang.
It stands to reason that the reason why the big horse is a big horse is that after Li Shanchang proposed to the emperor, he stepped in and snatched Princess Lin'an, who was supposed to belong to Li Shanchang's daughter-in-law, and became a big horse.
As the saying goes, killing parents, taking wives, and blocking people's wealth are all from deep hatred. Why did you come to Taishi, but you want to help the enemy speak?
Logically speaking, it's a bit weird!
As soon as Li Shanchang heard this, his mind changed rapidly, with his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, an old man, he was in a very clear mood, Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, he was absolutely sure, if he shirked and said that he didn't know, it was just that the subordinate said it himself, and he would definitely not be able to satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.
Moreover, if you say that way, once Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that he is deceiving him, it is really hard to imagine what the consequences will be!
Thinking of this, Li Shanchang hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it should be the old minister who taught the dog and enlightened him to learn from King Yan and the big horse, and when the subordinates heard it, they learned to go outside and say it." This is the old minister's lack of discipline, and please punish Your Majesty! ”
It's not too much to say behind closed doors, let alone praise others.
But the question is, are you Li Shanchang really complimenting? Many people have doubts about this.
As one of the impeachers, Yushi Zhou Guanzheng, this old brother who can force Zhu Yuanzhang to admit his mistakes, naturally will not give face to the Korean public, and directly asked: "Even if you teach your children in your own house, you can't belittle others, or will I praise His Royal Highness King Yan and Da Ma in the future." What is the purpose of this move? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to it and was a little unhappy in his heart. For him, the best thing is that his son and son-in-law can surpass all the founding generals. In this way, his Zhu family's country will be stable. Everyone thinks so, and he's happy.
However, he himself knows that militarily speaking, his son and son-in-law will definitely not be able to surpass those famous founding generals. Even if there is a victory in the first battle of Yongping. However, among the founding generals, there are not a few who have won such a big victory.
Even if the war in Liaodong can be won, it is estimated that it will only gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, and it is obvious which one is greater than Fu Youde and Mu Ying leading an army of 200,000 to fight Yunnan.
If you want to ignore your conscience and compare it with this, you will exaggerate the war in Liaodong instead, which will obviously cause dissatisfaction among many people. Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool, how can he not see how bad this will be for his son and son-in-law!
Therefore, he was also dissatisfied with Li Shanchang's explanation.
At this time, Li Shanchang faced Zhou Guanzheng's questioning, and saw Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfied eyes staring at him, and finally, he regretted it a little.
It's okay to kill once or twice, but once you kill too many times, you will eventually discover your true purpose!
But at this point, it is impossible to admit this in any case.
No, I heard Li Shanchang "calmly" face Zhou Guanzheng, and immediately talked eloquently: "Have you forgotten that His Royal Highness King Yan and Da Horse had a competition with the Marquis of Yongchang, but everyone was not optimistic, what was the result, a big victory?" Do you dare to say, among the others, who can win so much like King Yan and the Great Horse? ”
The first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty was not sealed by himself, in other words, his strength is also present, and it is impossible to overthrow him by one or two questions!
Sure enough, when Zhou Guanzheng heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Of course, he still remembers the original competition. At that time, it was true that no one was optimistic that King Yan and Da Horse would win the Marquis of Yongchang, and the result was indeed too surprising.
However, he also came back to his senses, after all, it was just a competition, not a real battle, so it couldn't be counted.
Just as he was about to refute, he heard Li Shanchang continue to ask: "Before Xiangshan County, a county under the jurisdiction of the Great Horse, did you think that with the help of King Yan, Xiangshan County would be as prosperous as it is today?" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Guanzheng was stunned again.
Everything in Xiangshan County can be said to be a miracle. No one could have imagined that in just three years, Xiangshan County would become so prosperous!
However, he also quickly came back to his senses, the prosperity of Xiangshan County is not a military matter. Didn't you just say that in terms of war? You are slandering the famous general of the founding of the country, not saying that the local can minister!
Could it be far-fetched, saying that King Yan and Da Pony joined forces to exterminate the pirates, so that Xiangshan County was as prosperous?
When he was about to refute, Li Shanchang said there again: "Also, I went to Beiping, and I won't come back until the big horse arrives." However, in the blink of an eye, His Royal Highness King Yan and the big horse joined forces to get the Yongping victory. With the age of the two of them, as well as their experience in the army, isn't it worth appreciating and learning? ”
If you say it from this point of view, this Yongping victory, not to mention, among the founding generals, there are indeed few people who can do it. However, there are exceptions, such as Deng Yu, who has been leading troops to fight since he was sixteen years old, more than four years before King Yan and Da Pony.
However, no matter what, Li Shanchang's words are still somewhat suspicious of sycophancy, and they are still a bit exaggerated.
No, I heard Zhou Guanzheng come back to his senses, and immediately said: "But the rumors of the Beijing division are to compare the Liaodong war with the Yunnan war and belittle the merits of the Yunnan war to praise the Liaodong war. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne, listening to Li Shanchang listing the merits of his son and son-in-law, felt a lot more comfortable, and unconsciously, there was less judgment on whether Li Shanchang really had malicious intentions.
As far as I hear now, it can be said that Li Shanchang is suspected of deliberately touting his son and son-in-law and letting his daughter and son-in-law arouse the disgust of others, but it can also be considered that he is suspected of patting his own ass, just as Zhou Guanzheng said.
Thinking of this, he watched coldly and continued to see how Li Shanchang replied to Zhou Guanzheng's question.
I only heard that Li Shanchang did not show timidity, but continued to talk eloquently: "You are just the heart of a villain!" I've had conflicts with the pony, and I've worked with him, so I can say that I know a lot about the pony. I think there is a big horse to help His Royal Highness King Yan and judge that they can achieve a great victory in the war in Liaodong, is there a problem? At most, it's just that my judgment is wrong, why do you want to be so up-and-coming and aggressive? ”
Anyway, if he admits that it was a stick kill, it is absolutely impossible. That's what I think, I think they're very powerful, at most they're wrong, is there a problem?
This in itself is Li Shanchang's way to retreat and adopt the strategy of stick killing!
He is not afraid of others at all. The only thing that made him a little worried was that he was afraid that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, there would be a suspicion, in that case, even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it, he would have to be careful in the future.
Here, Zhou Guanzheng was stunned for a moment, according to Li Shanchang, he suddenly became a villain, which was definitely an insult to him. At least he thinks he is upright, and he takes Tang Zhiwei Zheng as an example, how can he say that!
He was about to go crazy when he heard the emperor speak.
I only heard Emperor Hongwu ask Li Shanchang coldly: "So you judge that the war in Liaodong can win a greater victory than the war in Yunnan?" Over in Yunnan, it is no longer a problem to take the entire territory of Yunnan! Well? ”
That's the key!
It's okay for you to praise Zhu Di and Zhang Yifan, but if you compare the war in Yunnan and exaggerate it, then there is a problem!
When Li Shanchang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was a little panicked in his heart.
He knew very well in his heart that he knew Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang also knew him, and he would not think that with his ability, he would not be able to judge which of the battles in Liaodong or Yunnan was greater! What is the purpose of saying this nonsense with your eyes open?
For a while, Li Shanchang faced Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, and he didn't know how to answer. He knew that if a bad answer was not good, he would definitely be suspicious in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
In the Wuying Palace, the kung fu at this time became very quiet, and everyone was staring at Li Shanchang and listening to how he answered the emperor's questions.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside. At the same time, there were people shouting, and the noise was faintly heard in the temple.
What's going on?
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Then, the crown prince Zhu Biao opened his mouth and said with a little surprise: "It seems to be a great victory, a success document?" ”
He looked at the atmosphere in the hall, which was really a little bad. Although Taishi exaggerated his words, after all, he was praising his fourth brother and eldest brother-in-law, and it was not good for him to be too embarrassed.
Obviously, he is still not as sophisticated as Zhu Yuanzhang and perceives more things.
Hearing the prince's words, the atmosphere in the Wuying Hall suddenly relaxed. After all, it's a good thing that the report paperwork has arrived.
Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong said with a smile: "According to the calculation of time, it must be that Yunnan has won some more victories, and maybe they have taken Kunming!" ”
The transmission of a good news document like this must be a big victory. Ordinary victories are no longer rare, and there is no such way of rewarding them.
When Wei Guogong Deng heard this, he also said with a smile: "That's right, the war in Yunnan, I'm afraid it's almost over." ”
The rest of the people in the hall basically made similar remarks, and they all agreed that it was a great victory in Yunnan.
Who let the Yunnan war was led by the famous Marquis Yingchuan and Xipinghou, and it was 200,000 horses, and the DPRK and China made sufficient preparations for the war in Yunnan from last year to this year, from grain and grass materials to the offensive of the people's hearts, etc., taking Yunnan is basically a sure thing.
Seeing this atmosphere in the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the thoughts of continuing to ask Li Shanchang, and did not spoil everyone's interest. His own arrangement is also to focus on recovering Yunnan this year, so that he can free up his hands and face the remnants of Mengyuan in the north with all his might.
"Great victory, great victory in Liaodong, pacification of ......, destruction of ......"
The sound was getting closer, and I could already hear it clearly. However, this made everyone in the Wuying Hall think that they had heard it wrong.
"What, where's the big win? How do I sound like Liaodong? ”
"I should have heard it wrong, there is no preparation on the Liaodong side, where will there be a big victory?"
"Hey, what I heard seems to be Liaodong, am I misheard?"
"Yes, I heard it too, it seems that something is calm and extinguished, I should have heard it wrong, right?"
“……”
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the Wuying Palace, which made them even more curious, where was the great victory? So, they looked at the door of the Wuying Hall one by one.
At this time, the person who reported the victory had already arrived at the gate of the temple.
I saw a eunuch holding a document of success, hurried in, full of excitement, shouted loudly to everyone in the palace: "Liaodong great victory, Naha surrendered, Goryeo was destroyed, great victory, great victory, great victory!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
What's the situation?
Did you hear that wrong?
Liaodong Naha, that is more than 200,000 horses, and surrendered? Goryeo destroyed? How is this possible? By whom? What's the big win? What the hell is going on?
At this moment, even the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not calm, his expression was surprised, and he even had an eagerness that had not appeared for many years, and immediately stretched out his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and submit it!" ”
Li Shanchang was also dumbfounded when he watched the eunuch hurriedly deliver the report document with very fast small steps.
Liaodong victory? How is this possible?
If he could imagine that he had won the first battle, it was indeed possible! However, if you say that with the current amount of troops deployed by the imperial court in Liaodong, you want to force Naha, who has 200,000 horses, to surrender, how is it possible?
That Naha was captured by the imperial court officers and soldiers before, but after he thought he was a famous family, he looked down on the Ming Dynasty, and refused to surrender alive or dead, and now he has surrendered? How is this possible!
And what Goryeo was destroyed? It's a kingdom that has existed for hundreds of years, and what storm has not been experienced before it has been destroyed? I hadn't heard any wind before, how was this possible?
In short, in the Wuying Hall at this time, no matter who it is, it is all in the mind, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" ”
In the end, everyone stopped guessing in vain, and all eyes were on the emperor, waiting for the final confirmation of the news!
