Chapter 177 Invite Wei Guogong to come out
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "It's not just that you don't know. I don't know either. However, after much deliberation, I still have to ask Wei Guogong to come out. Song Guogong is a subordinate of Wei Guogong, and Wei Guogong is the leader of the famous generals in our dynasty. Don't worry, Duke Guo of Wei. The first reason is that Duke Guo of Wei has always had a humble character, but Duke Guo of Song is not a stable one. The second reason is that Duke Guo of Song has no heirs, but the Duke of Wei has heirs. The third reason is that. Finally, the bones of Wei Guogong are relatively weak. .”
Ding Xian listened and sighed secretly in his heart. The last sentence was too straightforward.
Duke Guo of Wei was the leader of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty. Not only Duke Guo of Song was his subordinate, but almost all generals today had been his subordinates. Just the fact that Wei Guogong came out was a great benefit to Nanjing. It was enough to make up for the impact of the previous defeat.
It can be said that for most people. None of them believed that Duke Xu Da of Wei would lose the battle.
This benefit alone is enough for Zhu Yunwen to change his tendency.
The violent side of Wei Guogong's character has long been restrained. Ever since He Xi met Wei Guogong Xu Da, Wei Guogong has always given people the impression that he is a good gentleman who promotes younger generations and is tolerant and generous.
This is certainly due to the generous side of Wei Guogong's nature.
But it doesn't mean that Wei Guogong is just like this. After all, a figure who fought out in troubled times and became a military god really has no temper at all. No one believes it.
It's just that Zhu Yunwen, like Ding Xian, only saw Xu Da who was getting rich, establishing a good life, and cultivating himself. I didn’t see Xu Da who fought to the death on the battlefield decades ago.
Naturally, I felt that Xu Da was easy to talk to, but Song Guogong Feng Sheng was not easy to talk to. A further extension is that Zhu Yunwen believed more in the loyalty of Wei Guogong than in the loyalty of Song Guogong.
As for the fact that the Duke of Wei has heirs, the reason why it is an advantage is that having heirs brings a weakness. Once you have a weakness, it's easy to control it.
If both Wei Guogong and Song Guogong refused to bow their heads, Zhu Yunwen really had nothing to do with them. But in one sentence, if you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your children. They can be tough, but their sons dare not.
The last sentence is the most explicit.
That is because Wei Guogong's health is not good, and it is true that he is lingering on his sick bed.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know the true progress of Xu Da's condition. But we also know that Xu Da's life is not long. It can range from three to five years at most and one or two years at least.
Military reform is a major event. Once such a thing is accomplished, it will have a profound influence on the military.
Zhu Yunwen did not want to have a soldier in the army who could suppress his presence.
Therefore, when Xu Da did this, the impact was minimal. Without him, even if Xu Da did nothing, wouldn't he have any influence in the army? Impossible, even if Xu Da keeps restricting himself and restraining himself, he can't change the situation where his disciples and old officials are all over the world.
Xu Da did this, which certainly strengthened Xu Da's prestige. But Xu Da only has a few years left to live.
Wait for Xu Da to kick his legs.
The new Duke of Wei could inherit Xu Da's title, but not his prestige.
Almost, Zhu Yunwen plotted Xu Da to death. I want Xu Da to die exhausted.
This made Ding Xian slightly uncomfortable.
Ding Xian said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Duke Wei is not willing to come out."
Zhu Yunwen said calmly: "That's your business."
Ding Xian understood that this matter was left to him.
Ding Xian said, "I will try to find out what Duke Wei is saying for your majesty."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Old and important minister of the State of Wei, please go and express my condolences on my behalf."
"Yes." Ding Xian said.
------
The middle door of Wei Guogong's mansion was wide open.
Welcome the imperial edict.
This is a rare thing for other families, but for the Duke of Wei, it is a common thing.
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang also lived here.
Imperial decree or something. Even more separated by Sancha
Five to.
Even when he came to the Jianwen Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen continued to favor Wei Guogong. There are rewards for every year and festival, and even if I think of it occasionally, there are additional rewards. Basically, only the imperial court gives rewards to the outside world. No matter what the reward is, the Duke of Wei is the first.
To welcome the imperial edict, the Duke of Wei already had a complete set of procedures in place.
Only this time, it's different from other times.
As a famous person in the court, Ding Xian naturally cannot come here for some reward.
After the reward, he naturally asked to see Duke Wei.
After a conversation, Wei Guogong asked Xu Huizu to send the people out.
But Xu Huizu felt that Ding Xian's expression seemed a little bad.
After he returned, he immediately asked his father, "Father, what is this Bachelor Ding doing at home?"
Xu Da's body is getting weaker and weaker.
He was sitting very straight at the moment, not because he didn't want to lean back, but because he couldn't. My whole back hurts when I lean on it.
Fortunately, it is summer now, so Xu Da's health is better.
In winter, Xu Da's body became even more unsupportable.
Xu Da said to his son calmly: "Our Majesty hopes that I will be in charge of the northern front army."
Xu Huizu was shocked and said: "How can your Majesty do this? Father, how can you still be in charge of military affairs with your body?"
Xu Da said: "Of course I refused. However, I think your Majesty will not give up easily."
Xu Huizu said: "What should we do?"
Xu Da said: "What should we do? Is Fu Youde coming to the capital soon?"
Xu Huizu said: "According to the itinerary, we will cross the river in two days."
Xu Da said: "Tell Fu Youde this matter. Let him figure it out on his own."
Xu Huizu said: "My child understands."
With the ability of the Xu family, it was very simple to inform Fu Youde of this news. It's just that the Xu family has never participated in court affairs before.
After Xu Huizu finished this matter, he hesitated in his heart and said, "Father, your Majesty is so sick and rushed to the hospital, which shows that the war on the front line has reached a very critical point. Does my father have any clever ideas that can turn the situation around?"
Xu Da sighed and said: "I have never heard of any clever ideas in my life. They are all people who are stupid in reading. I really think that the war in the world can be decided by some clever tricks. Liu Bowen has made many clever tricks, but he Why was I so crushed by Li Shanchang? Without him, fighting a war, to put it bluntly, means having more people, more food, and more soldiers, rather than some clever plot. Now I have no strength left. If I were a few decades younger and studied firearms warfare, It may not be as good as He Xi. Let alone now. So Fu Youde wants to copy He Xi's method, which in my opinion is the most appropriate method. However, there are some things that others rent to do, but you do it. "
"This is the crux of the matter. After all, Fu Youde is a fool. He has been all his life. He doesn't know that the battle in the temple and on the battlefield are two completely different worlds. I think Fu Youde is in danger."
Xu Da is also one of the few generals who can clearly understand the relationship between the temple and the battlefield. In fact, Xu Da didn't know much about temples. At least he understands that the temple is not his place to play. On the battlefield, he was invincible. Above the temple, he Xu Da is just a new soldier.
Therefore, for decades, Xu Da did not take power, did not interfere in the court, and kept his peace. Completely listen to Zhu Yuanzhang. What does Zhu Yuanzhang say?
It is quite a state where water is beneficial to all things without any struggle.
This allowed Xu Da to survive the entire Hongwu era safely.
But the problem is that Fu Youde doesn't think so. Fu Youde has always been politically active. This kind of activity was still suppressed during the Hongwu period. Historically, Fu Youde may not be on Zhu Yuanzhang's must-kill list. But in the end, he still killed him.
Many times it was Fu Youde who couldn't stand the injustice.
In politics, people often have to be wronged.
In Xu Da's opinion, Fu Youde killed Lan Yu and it was not wrong to marry his daughter to Zhu Yunwen. But adding the two together creates a problem.
Under this situation, Fu Youde still wanted to get involved in the military power of the world, and even presided over military reforms.
It can be said that everything is correct. But everything added up to something very wrong.
Xu Huizu said: "Then what does it mean for father to give Fu Youde a message?"
"I asked Fu Youde to come out and make some noise so that these people don't bother me." Wei Guogong Xu Da said calmly: "I just want to be quiet for a few days."
