"The East Palace is interested in the general's recovery. Please don't be disheartened and evade the official position because of illness. Otherwise, how can you recommend a sick general to the court? How can you trust a critical commander in a critical border area? The general only needs to recharge his batteries and sit back and wait. It is an auspicious time, do not listen or believe, do not be impatient and impatient. In addition, the Ming Dynasty's border dangers are increasing day by day. I am determined to work hard to control the situation, organize the troops to prepare for war, and reproduce the phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty Taizu and Taizong from all the countries coming to court! I only ask you to elaborate when you are in the field. The dangerous points of the border and the wonderful methods of battle formations are written down in books and compiled into volumes for future generations to admire..."
"Lao He, where is the person who delivered the message?" Wang Yue suddenly stood up and chased outside.
As a result, the butler said: "Sir, he has left."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wang was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "Oh, how could you let him go?!"
Wang Zhi didn't know who could make her grandfather react like this, so she hurriedly got up and looked for the letter to find out, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Wang Yue did not hide anything from his granddaughter, "Look, it's a letter from the East Palace."
"East Palace?" Wang Zhi probably couldn't imagine why the East Palace suddenly got involved, but she was shocked when she saw the content: His Highness had already guessed her countermeasures?
But she probably didn't like the content. She pursed her lips. Even though Dong Gong was smart, she wanted his grandfather to take risks.
But he said that the old general Wang Yue was not at all of a calm temperament. Taking this letter in his hand had fulfilled his long-cherished wish, so he couldn't sit still or stand for a while.
"Zhi'er, do you think this is really a letter from the East Palace?"
If nothing else, General Wang thinks this font is funny enough.
Wang Zhi's tender and smooth face seemed to be able to squeeze out water. Even when she frowned in thought, she was still as gorgeous as ever.
"Tu Shangshu's letter explains the process of Li Guang's death. If he were not the prince, how could your majesty decide to kill Li Guang?"
Wang Yue sighed, "The key is Empress Dowager Zhou. I don't know how that old fool made Empress Dowager Zhou dissatisfied with him."
Things in the palace are secretive, so they have no way of knowing the reasons.
"In any case, Li Guang's death was partly due to the crown prince. How could the crown prince receive this letter at this time?"
Wang Yue couldn't think clearly at the moment, "No, I have to reply to the East Palace to find out. Otherwise, I will feel really uncomfortable."
The more anxious the king became,
He is a patron who has fallen.
Suddenly another one appears, so you have to catch it no matter what.
But granddaughter Wang Zhi stopped him, "Grandpa, no."
"Why not?"
The little girl's thin and red lips opened slightly, revealing a row of shell teeth in the slight slit, "In this dynasty, the position of the East Palace is very special, and the prince holds a very important position in your majesty's heart. If what grandpa wants is easy, I am here today. It is not a letter, but an imperial edict."
Wang Yue felt a chill in his heart. Doesn't that mean there are still variables?
"The ministers in the court want to take advantage of Li Guang's affairs to clean up the official career and regulate the court, which will inevitably lead to a lot of overt and covert fighting. Therefore, the prince is sure that we may be sick..." At this point, the girl's beautiful eyebrows dropped again, "With such a mind , must have made complete preparations, so grandpa does not need to be anxious, this matter will definitely have a result. But it is inevitable that the situation will not go against the trend. Once things fail, has grandpa thought of a way out? By then, Donggong will not be able to make a sound, even if he wants to I tried my best to save my grandpa, but I could only deal with it impartially. Now that I have written the letter, I have given up my truth."
Wang Yue thought that this was the truth, but he was itchy.
"But Dong Palace is the master and I am the minister. This letter from Dong Palace is straightforward. If we watch the fire from the other side, we can't hide our thoughts. Even if Dong Palace loses this time, Dong Palace will still be Eastern Palace. Your grandfather, I will climb on his lintel in the future. How can you climb up?"
Wang Zhizhen didn't know what to say. She was already seventy-two years old, and she was still considering becoming an official later...
She had advised her many times that there was no need to talk about the wheelbarrow at this time, and she should think about how to deal with it. After all, it would be inappropriate to ignore Donggong's good intentions.
Suddenly, a light flashed in her heart.
"Write a book!" Pingting's figure suddenly turned around.
"Writing a book?"
"Grandpa, you see, the letter from the East Palace has already said that grandpa is asked to sort out the situation at the border and the experience of many years of marching and fighting. This matter does not need to be involved in the court situation, right? And...if the prince becomes the prince, this book belongs to grandpa. Credit; if the prince fails, this book is also my grandfather’s heart, and the prince will not feel any resentment."
Wang Yue clapped his hands, wonderful!
"It's just..." For some reason, Wang Zhi's heart suddenly jumped. There shouldn't be anyone who thinks so carefully, right?
"Just what?"
Wang Zhi inherited Wang Yue's tall and straight figure. The girl's family grew up early. Now she is also slender and beautiful.
She read the prince's letter again and couldn't help biting her lip, "Could it be...could it be that when Dong Palace wrote the letter, he already expected that grandpa and I would have such thoughts today? Otherwise, why did he suddenly ask a military general to write a book?"
"Tsk." Wang Yue was not very satisfied with his granddaughter's words and said proudly: "Your grandfather, I am a Jinshi!"
…
…
Because the weather was so cold that it made people feel uncomfortable, so the prince ordered someone to bring a charcoal basin.
While rubbing his hands to warm himself over the fire, he knitted his eyebrows and meditated.
His face was a little red as reflected by the hot charcoal fire.
I don't know if it's roasted or angry.
He originally thought that Tu Yu was just an exception, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people who gave money to Li Guang. Therefore, it is better to listen less and believe less when talking about "national justice" in the court.
Opposite the charcoal basin is Wang Cuo.
Since the prince's attitude was important, he naturally came as a matter of course.
As Mr. Xu Ge said, he is not here to be a lobbyist, he just wants to know what the prince thinks.
Of course, according to his character, he would not tell any lies. He just conveyed the words of the elder that day and the worries in them.
"Mr. Wang is a sincere person, and I doubt there will be any lies." Zhu Houzhao's tone was faint, but from beginning to end, his eyes actually changed - Xu Pu was really old.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!"
"I trust you, why do I need to say thank you?" The prince's words really made Wang Hao feel at ease. "But I want to ask, since Mr. Ge and Mr. Wang have such worries, why do they still have to oppose their father and not choose Wang Yue?" The general is the commander-in-chief of the three sides?"
"Back to Your Highness. After Li Guang's death, too many people avoided him. Even if Wang Yue was chosen, the situation in the court would probably be unfavorable to General Wang Yue, and even more to the northwest war situation."
This is nonsense, and it is also a good reason for what the civil servants are saying now. It sounds reasonable at first glance, but the key point is whether it is feasible not to send Wang Yue?
The most knowledgeable generals in the country are all at the border, but they are losing battles every month. For the sake of the situation of the court, Wang Yue is not sent. Isn't this just leaving useful people unused?
Moreover, what is the situation in the DPRK? Isn’t it just you guys?
So Zhu Houzhao would not be satisfied with this answer.
"A suitable general could not be sent there. It will be passed down to later generations. I don't know whether it is the Zhu family and his son who are ridiculous, or the ministers in the court who are ridiculous. It is extremely ridiculous."
When Wang Hao heard this, his buttocks got off the bench and he didn't dare to sit anymore.
Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao made a gesture and said, "I'm not talking about Mr. Wang, so don't worry about it. I have said before that Mr. Wang is a sincere person, sincere to me and to the people of the world, so I will not hide anything from Mr. Wang. The palace belongs to General Wang Yue."
After hearing this, Wang Hao felt mixed emotions in his heart. If this were the case, there would definitely be a disturbance!
"Your Highness?!"
Zhu Houzhao was not afraid to say this,
In fact, he was the only one in the court who said this. Otherwise, the theory and momentum would be one-sided, and nothing would be discussed.
Although Tu Yu and others will also support Wang Yue, they are Li Guang's 'disciples', and it is difficult to form a resistance when Li Guang is dead!
If that's the case, let the prince take charge!
"Your Highness." Wang Hao knelt down, "I have the courage to ask Your Highness for advice. Why is Your Highness's attitude so different? What is Your Highness's plan?"
"I am not using any powerful tactics. My only belief is that in this world, I don't want to do anything that will please my loved ones and my enemies. I pressed Wang Yue's appointment. What do you think will make you happiest when the DPRK opposes Li Guang? Gentleman? No, they are the Tatars who caused harm in the northwest! Thousands of years later, I don’t want future generations to scold us for our incompetence and morality when they read this history. We obviously have power, but it is limited to the court. The situation has caused misfortune to the country and the nation. Dusty!"
"Xu Shoufu is right, don't persuade me. Don't kneel down and go back. You don't have to help me with this matter, but I want you not to object. In the future, it will not affect your leaving the cabinet and becoming the prime minister."
"Your Highness's words have offended the humble minister."
The Crown Prince said nothing more.
Wang Hao also left.
Zhu Houzhao in front of the charcoal basin seemed to have no expression.
After a long time, I finally said what I had said in my heart before, "Xu Pu is really old."
Liu Jin added charcoal and replied, "Did your Highness hear something?"
"As the head of the cabinet, he is like an angry daughter-in-law. It is difficult for the father-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of him. He does not dare to respond to the invitations of hundreds of officials, and his father must also take care of it. Moreover, it is also the time when he is old and serving. , His original intention should not be involved in these things. I just laid out my resignation letter and let you write it. After all, I have handed in this mission, and my father will not kill him anyway. "
The intention to retreat arises in my heart, and I naturally have no desire to make progress. But both sides are in trouble, and neither side is satisfied. But most people can't understand the meaning of trying to avoid this matter at all, and they think that Mr. Xu is willing to risk his life for the country.
"His Highness's words are always to the point. To be honest, I don't even think too much about it."
While talking, Zhang Yong also came in.
Zhu Houzhao didn't say much, and handed him a piece of paper in his hand, "I have already said hello to the Emperor Father and the Director of Ceremonies. You go and ask for a few people from the Dongchang. Please tell me who has come to Shangshu in the past few days." Let me get to know the background of the ministers who objected, especially that Shaanxi Taoist censor Hu Guimin!"
This person has his name on the ledger.
"yes!"
They say it’s not good for the overall situation? Then let’s see who is in the overall situation and who is disadvantageous.
