Chapter 51: A Restless Relative
The war was about to break out, Li Qing didn't dare to take it lightly, and as soon as he left the palace, he went to Yu Qian's house.
"In terms of armaments, food and grass, are you sure it's okay?" Li Qing asked, "This is not a joke, and there is no room for the slightest mistake." ”
Yu Qian nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I know what's at stake." ”
"That's good." Li Qing relaxed a little, "In a month at the latest, there will be turmoil, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Yu Qian bowed his head and suggested: "In case of emergency, Mr. may wish to apply for the position of overseer, after all, ...... You have experience. ”
"I'm just a seventh-grade person, how can I be a prisoner?" Li Qing shook his head, "Besides, I am also a civil official, strictly speaking, it is a civilian group, I can't open this opening, I finally canceled the minister of town guarding before, and I can't make another civilian official to supervise the army." ”
"Alright then!" Yu Qian sighed, "Has the emperor decided on the candidate for the prison army?" ”
"Not yet, but it's almost certain that it's a eunuch." Li Qing said.
Yu Qian frowned, "Eunuchs and supervising the army, there are endless disasters!" ”
"But there's no better choice, is there?" Li Qing asked rhetorically.
Yu Qian was speechless, but psychologically, he still rejected the eunuchs.
Like other civil servants, Yu Qian also felt that the eunuchs were just slaves of the emperor's house, and they were not qualified to enter the political arena, especially the reputation of the eunuch group in history was notorious.
If he could, he would prefer a civilian official to be a military supervisor, but in this situation, there are indeed no civilian officials who can handle it.
Even if there were, the emperor wouldn't use it.
The contradictions between monarchs and ministers are too deep, even to the point of incompatibility.
"Alas......!" Yu Qian sighed bitterly: "I don't know when we will be able to restore the Xuande Dynasty, the harmony between the monarch and the minister!" ”
"I'm afraid I can't." Li Qing smiled bitterly, "Even if the first emperor survives, it will be difficult to do it;
In fact, the harmony of the monarchs and ministers of the Xuande Dynasty is just an illusion, mainly because there is no contrast, there is no harm, and the high-intensity oppression of the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties gave Xuanzong a good political soil;
If he gives a little kindness, the ministers will be grateful to Dade, but now it is different, they have lived too comfortably all these years. ”
Li Qing sighed: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, nothing more; Monarchs and ministers are destined to be unable to harmonize unless one of them compromises and accommodates. ”
Yu Qian nodded silently.
Li Qing said again: "Didn't you say before that Wang Ji could try it?" Now is an opportunity, you test him first, it's really not good, I'll go out. ”
"Sir out of the horse?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Sir, your identity must not be exposed." ”
"Thinking too much," Li Qing shook his head, with a dark face, "I mean, if he is incorrigible, I will quietly make him ruthless." ”
Yu Qian: "......"
Is this what the court officials do?
The rivers and lakes are not as reckless as you, just come up and get a book, it's really ...... Yu Qian didn't know what to say.
In fact, Li Qing didn't want to, but the military department secretary during the war period was very important, although the military department secretary did not participate in the war, he was in charge of logistics.
When there is a war, the logistics can't keep up, and then something big will happen.
"The Empress Dowager will be buried in a few days, so you can walk around with him more these days." Li Qing said, "No matter what the result is, tell me when the time comes." ”
Yu Qian agreed.
…
Five days later.
The Empress Dowager went out of the funeral, Zhu Qizhen personally supported the coffin, and the ministers wore linen and filial piety to see off the Empress Dowager.
Walk all the way, cry all the way.
All the way to the Offering Tomb.
Zhu Qizhen watched the burial of the imperial grandmother, his heart was empty, and he did not hesitate to send his father to the emperor, but he was also very uncomfortable.
Over the years, the Zhang family can be described as conscientious, although the court situation is unsatisfactory, but this is not her fault, at least she stabilized the court situation, and completely gave him the imperial power excessively, without accidents.
You know, when he first ascended the throne, he was not even eight years old.
For this alone, Zhu Qizhen can't help but be grateful.
"Grandma Huang, look at it." Zhu Qizhen said, "Soon you will know that Zhen'er is really not bragging. ”
The ministers are also gearing up, and their counterattack is about to begin.
The next day, the nave.
Sun hurriedly walked in, and when he saw his younger brother's cynical appearance, his anxious face couldn't help but sink, and he snorted: "I know, what urgent can you have?" ”
Sun Xianzong put down the teacup and saluted in a fake manner, "Weichen see the Queen Mother." ”
"Let's be flat." Sun waved his sleeves, walked to the chair and sat down, "Say, what the hell is going on?" ”
Sun Xianzong glanced at the little yellow door and did not speak.
Sun waved his hand, "Stand down." ”
"Yes, sissy." The little yellow door retreated.
Sun Xianzong looked at Zhen'er again.
"My own people." Sun said.
Sun Xianzong smiled, but still didn't say.
Sun frowned, and had no choice but to say, "Zhen'er, you step aside." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Zhen'er also withdrew.
"Can you say that now?" Sun snorted lightly, "Are you in trouble again?" ”
Sun Xianzong smiled and said, "How can it, sister, you can't help but look down on your brother too much, right?" ”
"I don't know you yet?" Sun scoffed.
Sun Xianzong was not angry, and said patiently: "Sister, now that the Empress Dowager is buried, your chance, our Sun family's great opportunity has come!" ”
Sun's face changed slightly, and he reprimanded, "What are you talking about? ”
"Look at you, what's the hurry?" Sun Xianzong still smiled, "Sister, didn't you say before, when the old lady is gone, it will be your home field, isn't the old lady gone now?" ”
"It's different now, the old lady is gone, and I can't interfere in government politics." Sun shook his head, "Zhen'er has grown up, it's not something I can manage." ”
"No matter how old you are, it's your son, isn't it?" Sun Xianzong retorted, "The Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, can he still fight against your mother?" ”
"He can!" Sun sighed depressedly and glared at his younger brother, "Tell you, it's okay to cause less trouble, otherwise my sister may not be able to protect you." ”
"Sister~"
"Okay, okay, are you short of money again?" Sun took out a silver ticket from his cuffs, and said helplessly: "Your income is not low, and you have oil and water to fish, so don't be extrava......gant in the future."
Sun Xianzong waved his hand, "Sister, I don't want money this time." ”
"And what do you want?" Sun was puzzled.
"My brother wants you to take our Sun family to soar!" Sun Xianzong said.
"You got kicked in the head by a donkey, didn't you?" Sun Shi was angry, "Do you really think that it is so easy to do politics?" ”
Sun Xianzong said faintly: "What if more than half of the courtiers support it? ”
"What?"
……
Master of Ceremonies.
The injury on Wang Zhen's forehead has basically healed, but the bulging bag has not yet disappeared, and he looks like an old birthday star.
"Godfather, godfather......" An eager voice came from far and near, startling Wang Zhen, who was thinking about his heart, and the big seal in his hand almost fell.
"Bastard, what's the name of a blind chicken?" Wang Zhen scolded and put the big seal back into the wooden box, "What's the matter?" ”
The little eunuch took a few breaths and said flatteringly: "My son has news to tell his godfather." ”
"What's the news?"
The little eunuch stepped forward and said in his ear: "Godfather, Uncle Guo has come to see the Queen Mother today." ”
"What kind of news is this?" Wang Zhen scolded, then another beating, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"This ...... The son didn't know. Xiao Huangmen's face was scornful, and seeing that Wang Zhen was not happy, he hurriedly added, "It seems that he is plotting a big thing, and the queen mother directly drove her son out." ”
Wang Zhen was speechless: "When someone's family is here, it's normal for the sister and brother to say some confidant words, what does this mean?" ”
"No, no, my son still has the ability to observe words and feelings, but it's bad to look at Uncle Guo's appearance." The little eunuch's tone was firm, and seeing that Wang Zhen was unimpressed, he added, "Even the palace maid Zhen'er, who is inseparable from the queen mother, has been driven out." ”
"Oh?" Wang Zhen finally got a little interested, and he knew that the palace maid was a confidant of the queen mother.
What can't even a confidant listen to? Wang Zhen was puzzled.
Seeing that he was silent, Xiao Huangmen said tentatively: "Godfather, do you want to let the emperor know?" ”
Wang Zhen remembered the last time the ministers knelt at the palace gate and threatened to chop him up, but the little emperor forcibly carried him down, allowing him to survive the crisis safely.
Then, I thought of Sun's strength and ambition......
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Well, I have to tell the emperor." ”
He patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, and took out a piece of broken silver, "Good job, if there is any news in the future, tell our family as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, yes, godfather, rest assured." The little eunuch took it into his arms like a baby, smiled from ear to ear, and was happy to contribute to the pension.
Wang Zhen stood up and asked, "You didn't tell the emperor, did you?" ”
"How dare my son report to the next level, isn't this to tell my godfather first." The little eunuch hurriedly shook his head.
"Well, that's good." Wang Zhen laughed and walked out of the celebrant supervisor.
