It was the middle of autumn, and Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet as the first assistant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

That night, Zhou Yanru thought of the changes in the government in the past two days, and he was a little worried.

First of all, he was a martial artist, and within one day, he was promoted to the position of a general, and his appearance was quite popular with the emperor. That's not all. Although it violates the ancestral system, if you think about it carefully, it is only a general, which is insignificant.

Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. A mere martial artist is just a knife of the imperial court, no matter how sharp it is? As the head of the cabinet, how does he want to handle it, it is not a question of a sentence?

The key is the matter of the prince's supervisor suppressing thieves, which is the root cause of Zhou Yanru's panic.

The crown prince Zhu Cihao, others don't know, but he Zhou Yanru doesn't know? Since he was a child, he has been different from ordinary people, and he is extraordinary. Some commentators compare it with Taizu and Chengzu as the future master of the Ming Dynasty.

But the master of Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty is not the master of his Zhongxing, nor is it the master of Zhongxing of the group of people behind him. What they need is a mediocre, even mediocre emperor, if the emperor is too powerful, where will he and other figures have the opportunity to take bribes and dominate the world?

As a minister, especially to the point where he is above 10,000 people, the only thing he wants is probably to become a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng, which is already inherently opposed to the imperial power. What's more, he didn't dare to disobey the people who supported him.

Because of the existence of the crown prince, these people have always been jealous. But the prince lives in a simple place, and he never makes a mistake, they can't hold the handle, they can only hide the prince's wisdom and treat him as a transparent person. This is also the reason why the wisdom of the crown prince Zhu Cihao has not been widely known.

It's just because of that public opinion that it is in the hands of these people.

But now, the prince has stepped forward!

This makes Zhou Yanru like a man. In particular, the crown prince has never been close to them, which is the key.

Once this prince, who is not close to them and is very virtuous, gains power and even ascends to the throne, will they still have a good life?

A martial artist, they don't care. But a wise prince, the sharpest weapon held by the future emperor, the two are combined, which is fearful.

What happened during the day, Zhou Yanru was deaf and clear-sighted, and he already knew it. When he learned that the prince ordered Nawufu to go to Liaodong to transfer troops, he became even more anxious.

So after thinking about it, I had an idea.

He ordered his subordinates to take the invitation card and go to the invitation.

But before the next person went out, the two came uninvited.

In the study, the lights dimmed.

Zhou Yanru sat opposite Chen Yan and Xie Sheng, two cabinet ministers.

Chen Yannai is a scholar of the household department, a scholar of Wu Yingdian University, and a deputy assistant to the cabinet. This is not the key, the key is that Chen Yan is the representative of the Donglin Party in the DPRK.

And Zhou Yanru is the figure who was pushed to the front by the Donglin Party after Wen Tiren stepped down.

That is to say, in the cabinet, Chen Yan is actually the real first assistant.

As for Xie Sheng, he is actually a wallgrass. The Qichuzhejiang Party represented by Wen Tiren, or the Eunuch Party, when he was in power, Xie Sheng listened to Wen Tiren. And now that the Donglin Party occupies the cabinet, he listens to the Donglin Party.

As for Wei Zhaocheng, another cabinet minister who is not here, he is the only remaining representative of the eunuch party, and he has been squeezed out by these three people and has no right to speak at all.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhou Yanru to invite Wei Zhaocheng as well.

In this small study, three of the four scholars in the cabinet were present.

The lights are dim, and at first glance it looks like a fly camp dog.

Zhou Yanru said in a deep voice: "The original matter of suppressing thieves is under control. But the prince might as well come out and hold a sharp knife again. The prince has never been close to us, but if the thief is succeeded and the prince is in power, what can I do?"

Chen Yan bowed his head slightly and said, "This is also the reason why I came here to have a secret conversation with Brother Zhou." ”

He said: "The prince is too virtuous, too virtuous, easy to be arbitrary, and it is very unfavorable to the world. ”

"What does it mean to praise the emperor..."Xie Sheng stretched out his hand and gestured on his neck, which was extremely gloomy.

Praise the emperor is Chen Yan's number.

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Hey, this is inappropriate." The crown prince is the emperor's son-in-law, the prince of the Zhu family, how can he be so disrespectful?" paused, and said with a smile: "Although the thieves are a rabble, there are hundreds of thousands, although the prince is virtuous, but he has no experience, and it is natural to be defeated." ”

When Zhou Yanru heard this, he couldn't help but think for a moment, and said: "Although Emperor Zan's words are reasonable, but the martial artist has to guard against it. What the situation in Liaodong was in the past, you and I both know. But with the strength of that one man, he broke all the fierce tartars. There are many thieves, but how can they be as good as the Tartars?"

Xie Sheng couldn't help but say yes.

Chen Yan was unmoved, and said with a smile: "A tartar is a tartar, and a thief is a thief." When it comes to combat power, the thief is inferior to the Tartar. However, if the war in Liaodong was not planned by Hong Chengchou, what could he do with Nawufu alone? The war could not be decided by just one person. Especially the thieves, wandering all over the world, running away if they can't beat them, all over the world, then the martial artist has ten legs, what can he do?"

"Besides, the grain, grass, and military salaries are all in our hands, and the soldiers and horses of the towns of Liaodong, do you think they should listen to the cabinet or the prince?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru and Xie Sheng couldn't help but glance at each other, and secretly said that Chen was acting vicious.

In and out of these words, it is clear that after the prince sends out troops, he will start with grain, grass, and military salaries to force him to be defeated. And the auxiliary means is to coerce the soldiers and horses of the towns in Liaodong.

Xie Sheng interjected: "It's best to let the soldiers and horses in Liaodong Zhuzhen stay put, the prince has no soldiers in his hands, and he will go back to his house after leaving the Beijing Division, and he is about to spread a joke to make the prince lose his name." ”

This one is even more vicious, and he wants to take this opportunity to knock the prince into the dust.

When Chen Yan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he stroked his palm and said, "Brother Yijin's words are very good!"

So he pondered and said: "I heard that Nawufu will go to Liaodong tomorrow to transfer troops, so we can send people to take the first step, and the general soldiers of the towns in Liaodong will act with affection and reason, and dare not disobey it." ”

He also said: "In this way, if you don't do it, don't you stop doing it, isn't Ding Qirui of the military department suppressing thieves in Henan, but like this..."

When the rest of the two heard this, they couldn't help but be impressed, and they even praised the emperor.

In the end, Zhou Yanru still added: "We must also beware of the prestige of Nawufu in Liaodong. Breaking the Tartars, although there is a plan by Hong Chengchou, the role of Nawufu cannot be underestimated. The most respected martial artist in the army, presumably he is quite famous in the towns of Liaodong. If the towns of Liaodong thought that they were in charge of the soldiers and horses, did not listen to the orders of the cabinet, and still obeyed the Wufu, it would not be good. ”

Chen Yan groaned when he heard this, and then bowed his head: "Good." Then Brother Zhou can only see it, how should I distinguish it?"

"It's better to kill Nawufu in one go. A ruthless look flashed in Zhou Yanru's eyes: "That martial artist is strong, the prince is wise, the two are one, even if you can stop the prince this time, you may not be able to stop it next time." If you cut off his roots, it is the best solution. ”

Xie Sheng said: "However, none of the Wufu troops have injured the fur, how can we kill him?"

"As long as it's not an immortal, why can't you kill it?" Zhou Yanru smiled and looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan also laughed: "You can't kill with knives and guns, and there are firearms and cannons." If firearms and artillery can't kill them, is there no other way? I've heard that Nawufu has taken the Tartar artillery on the battlefield, and its power is so strong that it is difficult to kill. But since he is still a human being, why can't he be killed if he still has to eat and drink?"

Xie Sheng was relieved.

So Chen Yan said: "There is a conclusion at the court meeting here, and when Xianyang Mou can't stop that Wufu from going to Liaodong to transfer troops." However, the transfer of troops must be accompanied by the holy decree. His own eunuchs followed, and ate and drank with them. In this way, from Jingshi to Liaodong, there are many opportunities. ”

...

Early the next morning, Wang Yisheng came in person and walked out of the city with Zhao Yu.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the prince arrived early and came to see him off.

A set of fish scale armor was also given.

The prince grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and said deeply: "There must be obstacles on the way forward, Brother Zhao, the future of Daming is on your shoulders!"

How wise is the prince?

Over the years, the DPRK and China have been in the camp of flies and dogs, and he has seen it clearly from the outside. Among them, the disadvantages are also well known.

Now that he is going to come to the forefront, it is not in the will of some people, and he will definitely conspire to obstruct it. In particular, the transfer of troops to Liaodong is the top priority. If there are no soldiers and horses in Liaodong, it will be difficult to exterminate the thieves.

It was entrusted to Zhao Yu, because only Zhao Yu was the most suitable and reassuring to him.

It is suitable because of Zhao Yu's feat in Liaodong, and his prestige will be widely spread in Liaodong Military Town, which can best deter the army.

Rest assured, it is because Zhao Yu is strong and not afraid of swords, guns and artillery. Therefore, it is possible to break through the obstacles and transfer soldiers and horses.

If there is no Zhao Yu, Wang Yisheng is the most suitable candidate. But Wang Yisheng is not a steel and iron bone, ordinary swords are not afraid, but muskets and cannons cannot resist.

In comparison, there is Zhao Yu, and Wang Yisheng is not suitable.

Zhao Yu is also a smart person, where can't he hear what the prince means?

The Ming Dynasty has fallen to this point, the emperor has not been able to do one, and the other is that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become moths. This kind of moth is the prince's biggest enemy to turn things around, a natural enemy.

In this way, if the prince wants to take power, those moths will not be reconciled.

In just an instant, Zhao Yu thought of a lot in his mind. Those moths must try their best to push the situation forward, so that the prince will fail this time, so that they will attack the prince.

But he laughed and said, "Don't worry, the prince." That fly camp dog Gou people, little Dao ear, I am not afraid. The prince will wait for me to transfer soldiers and horses to exterminate the thieves and help the prince turn things around!"

The prince looked at Zhao Yu deeply, took in his expression, nodded, and said no more. Only then did he turn around and lead Zhao Yu to the pavilion not far away.

There is a team of men waiting.

Take a closer look, it is clear that there are a few eunuchs in charge, and there are more than 50 brocade guards with them.

The cadres waited for the prince to salute, and the prince introduced: "These fathers-in-law went to Liaodong with Brother Zhao, and there was a holy decree to transfer troops. ”

They greeted each other again.

The prince said: "This is very important, Brother Zhao must ensure the safety of the holy decree." ”

Zhao Yu hugged his fists with a straight face: "The prince can rest assured." There is an end general, let him be a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god, as long as he jumps out, he will be killed!"

After that, he deliberately glanced at this team of people who were preaching the message.

The crown prince bowed his head, and finally instructed: "Brother Zhao's prestige has spread all over the world today. When the thief knows this, he will not stand by coldly. ”

paused: "Xiao Wang is waiting for Brother Zhao's good news!"

Zhao Yu looked at the prince's eyes, glanced at the eunuchs without a trace, nodded, and said again: "The prince just rest assured!"
