Chapter 588: The Prince is in a Dilemma
The older the elderly, the more they like their babies, especially their favorite sons.
Even if the queen is not in good health, she still holds the infant child in person at this time, teasing and looking at it carefully.
"This kid ...... It's much better than the old thirteen! The queen gave an evaluation.
"When he was a baby, he would cry when he was a little bad, and I was really anxious...... For this year...... Alas! ”
It was supposed to be a good thing, but suddenly the queen sighed, this turn is indeed too fast.
Baochai would not know that because of Zhu Jinghong's crying, the queen was in an impetuous mood back then, causing some people who did not have to die to be executed.
"The queen mother is wrong...... This kid is also crying when he is at home, and he has a stubborn temper with his father! ”
"When he got into the arms of the queen mother, he knew who was the one who loved him, so he was honest......"
"To say that this little boy is also smart, as if he knows who can protect him!"
In the end, he decided to give Zhu Jinghong a chance, so he approved the word "quasi" on the notebook.
Regarding the matter of the emperor's grandson, Yang Qingyin asked very carefully, and the topic was also changed.
"But he never listened, saying that he wanted to share his father's worries, and said that he didn't want to enjoy honor in vain......"
"Alas...... Let's talk about it...... It's still strange that kid is troublesome, how good it is to stay in the capital honestly, how can there be today's troubles! ”
"How long do you sleep each day?"
"Anyway, this kid doesn't need me to protect him, it's enough to have you, the princess, take care of it!"
Then her gaze swept to Baochai, and then said: "In the life of the thirteenth child, the only time I have a brain is to choose you as the princess!" ”
"Queen Mother...... Yesterday, my daughter-in-law got the news that he had rebelled in North Korea because of his mishandling, and I am afraid that many people will impeach him this time! ”
Bother...... In other words, this matter is nothing more than a nuisance.
Hearing Baochai say this, Yang Qingyin knew that this girl's trip was not simple, so she replied: "I'm just a person in the twilight, who can I protect!" ”
In Zhu Jinghong's recital, special emphasis was also placed on the replenishment of grain, grass and ordnance, which were urgently needed at the front.
There is a world of difference between the difference between marching and defending the garrison.
Although she no longer talks about Zhu Jinghong, Baochai has a worried expression from beginning to end, and Yang Qingyin has a lot of pity for her.
"Queen Mother...... I often persuade him to stay in the capital, one is to enjoy wealth and wealth, and the other is to serve his parents, which is much safer than running outside! ”
Besides, here in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming finally received an urgent delivery from Zhu Jinghong, and he had been waiting for this thing for nearly three days.
"Queen Mother...... He's in trouble now, and you can save him! ”
"Alright...... This time, it just makes this kid have a long memory, don't worry too much, raising Zhen'er is the right thing! ”
"Queen Mother...... The daughter-in-law can take care of Zhen'er, but the prince is ...... But I want you to take care of it! ”
"The queen mother is prosperous in the spring and autumn, how can there be anyone in the world that you can't protect!"
"Even His Majesty can't control him, this matter is even more difficult for you, I can't blame you!" Baochai cried and cried, and Yang Qingyin actually laughed at this time.
Then he issued an order to let several generals of the Governor's Office, as well as officials of the household department and the military department, discuss the matter.
Even if he is the most favored son, Yang Qingyin feels very dissatisfied when he mentions it at this moment.
Staring at the grandson in his arms, Yang Qingyin spoke: "Serve your parents...... He can take care of his own affairs and just don't let me worry about it! ”
"Yes!"
Just as Zhu Jinghong is not worried about being impeached, Zhu Xianming is not worried that Zhu Jinghong will not be able to defeat Anzhou at this moment.
Baochai continued to say a lot, tears kept flowing out, and finally knelt down in front of the queen, looking extremely aggrieved and sad.
"How many times do you have to wake up at night?"
Therefore, this discussion is only to discuss how to support Liaodong, especially in the two matters of increasing troops and transferring food.
This is the queen's high affirmation of Baochai, who has no sense of complacency at the moment, and then answers: "Queen Mother...... The daughter-in-law failed to persuade him, and she can hardly be called a good wife! ”
As an emperor on horseback, Zhu Xianming was well aware of the difficulty, so he was thinking about its feasibility.
Yang Qingyin was not surprised at all when she said these words to Baochai, and only heard her answer calmly: "His wings are stiff...... I'll take care of that! ”
"In the past, it could be said to be a joke, and the emperor could be forgiving...... However, this time it is a big mistake, I am afraid that the prince will be sad to pass this level! ”
Hearing the queen's words, Baochai quickly grasped the key word.
Sure enough, Zhu Jinghong wanted to suppress it forcefully, and he had already begun to dispatch troops, and promised to enter Anju, the hinterland of North Korea, within October.
"Invincible, invincible, invincible, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, who can still bully him!"
"How much milk does Zhen'er have every day?"
Although she had already guessed the result, now that she had confirmed it from the queen's mouth, it still made her feel more at ease.
It took a month to reach Anju, especially when North Korea sent more troops, but it was not so simple.
"Queen Mother, you also know that he has always acted recklessly, and I don't know how many people he has offended inside and outside the court, and he has been impeached constantly on weekdays...... This time, I'm afraid that I will have to be attacked by a group! ”
The so-called taking Anzhou within a month, in addition to taking into account the weather, another reason is that grain, grass and military supplies, which can only last one to two months.
"Disaster is coming? How I didn't know! Yang Qingyin was still calm.
After some discussion, a basic plan for the transfer of troops and food was discussed, and then only the household department and the military department needed to improve it, and then the question book was presented for preview within two days.
Once passed, it can be enforced.
And the affairs of Liaodong, Zhu Xianming arranged it like this.
As for the impeachment of Zhu Jinghong in the court, as the queen said, he can only rely on him to suppress it.
After waving everyone away, Zhu Xianming suddenly had a whim and ordered: "Go and call the prince over!" ”
The crown prince was in Wenyuan Pavilion, very close to the Qianqing Palace, so he entered the Qianqing Palace ten minutes later and appeared in front of the emperor.
After signaling the prince to get up, Zhu Xianming ordered someone to take a copy of the recital to the prince, which was Zhu Jinghong's urgent delivery.
Zhu Jingyuan watched it seriously, and he finished reading it after a while.
"What do you think of the old thirteen's strategy?"
The crown prince has never interfered in such military affairs, and when he heard the emperor ask, he didn't know how to answer for a while.
If it had been in the past, he would have said that it was up to his father, but now he understands that it is not interesting to say so.
"Father...... Erchen is not familiar with military affairs, so he does not dare to speak falsely! ”
"Say whatever you think in your heart, who is born to fight?"
"Yes!"
After contemplating it carefully, Zhu Jingyuan replied: "Father...... The bitter cold land of Liaodong is now in winter, and at this time, the army is deployed to crusade against North Korea, and the son thinks that it is not the right time! ”
"Go on!"
"And as far as my son knows, Liaodong is on the border of Korea, and the mountains and forests are not conducive to marching, and it is extremely difficult for the laborers to win the expedition!"
The prince's argument is certainly reasonable, but it cannot be said to be 100% correct, because he does not understand the specific situation.
For example, in order to put pressure on North Korea, a large number of the armies of the Yanshan and Liaodong Metropolitan Divisions, as well as the Andong Xingdu Division, moved to the "front", and along with them, grain, grass and ordnance were transported.
In other words, although the labor expedition is a fact, it is not too far.
The emperor didn't delve into this, and then asked: "The situation in Liaodong is changing, and the old thirteen is suspected of mishandling, what do you think of this matter?" ”
"The son thinks that the thirteenth brother does have omissions, but if all the charges are put on him, it will be unfair!"
The prince's words were more clever, pointing out Zhu Jinghong's mistakes, and then defended the latter in two sentences, but the focus was still on the first half of the sentence.
That's right, even if he is as kind as the prince, he now feels the threat of Zhu Jinghong, so he is willing to be suppressed by this little brother.
Regarding the prince's statement, Zhu Xianming nodded slightly, and then asked: "Give him a chance to make meritorious contributions, what do you think?" ”
Although this is a question, the emperor's intentions are already obvious.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, the thirteenth brother used soldiers like a god to let him pacify North Korea...... It's the perfect thing! ”
"So you also think that the old thirteen should be allowed to make meritorious contributions?"
The word "also" in the question sentence expressed the emperor's intentions, so Zhu Jingyuan replied solemnly: "Yes!" ”
Picking up the teacup, Zhu Xianming then asked, "But I heard...... Now there is an undercurrent surging in the capital, and many people want to impeach the old thirteen, how to deal with this matter? ”
Of course Zhu Jingyuan knew about this matter, after all, his subordinates were the main force driving this matter.
How to deal with it? This question was very abrupt, so Zhu Jingyuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
What is the attitude first, and then how to do it...... These need to be carefully considered.
To be honest, the prince's panicked appearance made Zhu Xianming feel a little disappointed.
But remembering that this kid had improved more than before, made him suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it later!" Zhu Xianming put down the teacup and said.
Obviously, Zhu Xianming has listened to what the queen has said over the years, so he will be so tolerant of the prince.
After about two minutes, the prince replied, "Father...... The son thinks that the thirteenth brother should be allowed to give full play to his strengths and make meritorious contributions! ”
"As for the impeachment of the courtiers, my son thought that he had to understand the reason, and persuaded them to take a long-term view, wait for the thirteenth brother to pacify North Korea, and then discuss the merits and demerits!"
The attitude shown by the prince made Zhu Xianming very satisfied, and he was afraid that this son would not be able to see the situation clearly.
"The courtiers are cunning and clever in their words, and it is difficult to persuade them to change their minds, but you are willing to share your worries for me...... Take on this heavy responsibility? ”
After so much, Zhu Xianming's purpose is this, that is, he wants the prince to be in front.
Of course he is hungry, he is not pranking his son, but to put pressure on the prince.
A qualified emperor is to wait to control his subordinates, not to be coerced and then drowned.
Zhu Jingyuan knew very well how big the storm was this time, and the emperor asked him to block the front at this time, which made him cry at this time.
"Father...... My son is only a shallow learner, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this! Zhu Jingyuan politely refused.
Although this would go against the emperor's will, Zhu Jingyuan knew that he was too much to lose, and he was more afraid of losing face if he couldn't do it than if he was dissatisfied with the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Xianming said coldly: "Fourth...... The position of the prince can't sit for those who are not knowledgeable! ”
In one sentence, Zhu Jingyuan's retreat was blocked, and he couldn't refute it in a word.
A person who is not a scholar is indeed not worthy of being a prince.
"Father's teachings, sons and daughters remember!"
"The courtiers are short-sighted, and the son is willing to share the worries of his father and the emperor and solve this difficulty for the thirteenth brother!"
"That's great!" Zhu Xianming smiled.
As a result, the crown prince became a shield to charge in front for the emperor.
And the shrewd East Palace officials under him could only pinch their noses to defend Zhu Jinghong.
When Zhu Jingyuan left the Qianqing Palace, he hurried back to the East Palace to discuss with his subordinates how to act.
As for the emperor, he went to Kunning Palace, and he had learned that Princess Xiang had brought the imperial grandson into the palace.
After lunch in Kunning Palace, Baochai took her son out of the palace in the afternoon, and as soon as she returned home, she received a report from Deng An, and the celebrant had received more than 30 bullet stamps.
Deng An's news is extensive and politically acumen, so he reported it as soon as he learned the news.
At noon, the emperor came to Kunning Palace, and the queen asked about Zhu Jinghong's impeachment, and the emperor told him about the arrangement of the prince's disposal.
Now that the prince is in the way, Baochai is really not panicked at all.
Although she was not in a hurry, she was not idle, still thinking about how to maximize her interests.
Two days later, after the prince and his subordinates made a move, I should personally go to the East Palace to thank him, showing that I am grateful to the prince's mansion......
If you do a little more tricks, you can also make Wenchen think that the East Palace and the Xiangwang Mansion are in the same stream...... Thinking of the end, Baochai himself smiled.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, a question suddenly popped up in her heart...... I'm not going to be a bad person, am I?
The self-evaluation didn't last for a few seconds, and a new idea popped up in Baochai's heart...... also want to make the old six families jealous and guide them to attack the East Palace!
Maybe I'm really a bad person...... Baochai had to admit this fact.
Gathering her mind, I saw her look at Deng An and instructed: "Go down and prepare more gifts, the more precious the things, the better, don't be afraid of spending money!" ”
Prepare more gifts? Who is this going for? Is it possible that you want to buy off officials?
Deng An was puzzled, he knew that the princess was thoughtful and would never do irrational things.
So now, the only thing he has to do is do what the princess wants.
"Slaves obey!"
Deng An turned to leave, and Baochai turned to look at the child.
At this time, in the study of the East Palace, the prince's face was very unsightly, because the officials around him were all persuading him not to do the business of using his mantis arm as a car.
The scholars analyzed the benefits and disadvantages for him, and he had been talking for nearly half an hour, during which the prince basically did not interject a few words.
"That's enough...... the prince said angrily, and finally silenced the room.
He rarely gets angry, so every time he gets angry, it works well.
"Do I not know what you say? But now that the emperor's order is in front of me, what else can I do except do what I do? ”
"If you really think about me, you shouldn't tell those lies...... Instead, it should be a strategy for solitary planning! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen...... It's better to take a long-term view, okay? ”
The prince has indeed grown a lot, at least for now he can think for himself and spur his subordinates to act according to his will.
It's just that it is still extremely difficult to make the subordinate officials of the East Palace obey him and follow him to block the impeachment of the Manchu Dynasty.
