Chapter 179 The balance point between the interests of the monarch and his ministers

"Knowing the truth, if I have any trouble in Pianguan, the defense here will be left to you for the time being."

After Chen Xun, Li Nuo and Zhang Yong left, Zhu Feng Wang Yue was left alone.

Zhu Feng was shocked and said, "Mr. Wang, how can I be so virtuous and capable?"

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I mentioned this to Eunuch Zhang, but it's probably Don’t worry, I’m fine now.”

“This and this”

Zhu Feng didn’t know that this was just Wang Yue’s method to win over him.

After Wang Yue dies, the emperor will definitely arrange for someone to take over his position as the Northwest Commander-in-Chief. Zhu Feng, a general, has no qualifications to take charge of the military affairs of the Northwest Military Affairs Company. He is not qualified. Tube.

The person who might really succeed Wang Yue is either Ma Zhongxi, the governor of Xuanfu, or Wei Shen, the governor of Datong.

But if there really is a handover process, Wang Yue is qualified to ask Zhu Feng to temporarily replace him for a few days. There is actually nothing wrong with this.

"Knowing the truth, it won't be long before His Majesty calls you back to the capital. With Mr. Zhang as your backer, you will be able to do anything good in the court from now on. The Wang family, I still want to ask you." Take care of me."

Wang Yue's words made Zhu Feng realize that this was not an errand entrusted to Northwest.

Sounds more like Tuogu.

Zhu Feng wanted to say that your son is as old as my father. Besides, I am a second-generation Xun who is just waiting to die. Who will take care of whom?

Wang Yue grabbed Zhu Feng held up his hand and said eagerly, "I may not be able to go back to the capital, but I can promise you if you are wise."

"Yes. Okay." Zhu Feng thought about it, and Wang Yue helped him a lot. Yes, if you don’t agree to this, you can’t treat yourself as a human being.

"Okay, okay." Wang Yue was satisfied and took Zhu Feng's hand and said, "Zhijie, you have noble people to help you, so there is no need to belittle yourself. Uncle Ping Jiang and Uncle Wu Ping, they are not in the northwest. To defend the territory and protect the land is all for personal fame. Unlike you, who has a sincere heart, His Majesty will definitely promote you in the future, and I will recommend you. Don’t let me down.”

< p>"Ah"

Zhu Feng was confused.

It’s just me

It’s good if I don’t pee my pants on the battlefield. From now on, no one in the northwest will look to me to lead troops into battle. That’s not my goal in life either.

p>

You have found the wrong person

Besides, I came to the northwest for personal fame, no one is nobler than the other

"If Mr. Zhang wants to use it in the future As far as I know, among the civil servants on the border, there are Yang Yingning and Wang Dehua who are in the court. Those who are not in the court, I have always admired Wang Bo'an of Yuyao. He is the son of Hanlin Wang Hua. I still have a military policy here. If you return to Beijing. , remember to give it to Mr. Zhang."

Wang Yue said, took out something and handed it to Zhu Feng very carefully.

Zhu Feng said, "Mr. Wang, you should go back to Beijing in person to show Brother Zhang. I will stay here in the near future."

"Haha, I know my integrity. No matter how long I live, even if I live a hundred years, I will still stay in the northwest to manage the army and guard against Di Yi. Your Majesty will not let me go back easily. What can I do if I go back?"

Wang Yue is in a calm mood.

There are many things that Zhu Feng doesn't understand, but Wang Yue knows them well.

With his achievements, he will be awarded the title soon. If he gets it, the emperor will definitely keep him at the northwest town, otherwise why would he, Marquis Weining or Uncle Weining, return to the capital to lead the training of the Beijing camp?

Good steel must be used on the blade. /p>

Even if he did not get the title, he was still a civil servant. With his merits, it would be impossible to arrange for him to be the left minister of the Ministry of War after returning. This would not only humiliate Wang Weining, but also embarrass Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War. < /p>

Subordinates are more powerful than their superiors, and conflicts and disputes will arise in any dynasty.

And the civil servants will not allow him to return to the Ministry of War.

No matter whether it is civil servants or ministers. It's Wu, and Wang Weining will stay in the northwest from now on, and because of his poor health, he knows that it will be difficult for him to see Zhang Zhou again in this life.

This is how he will spend his whole life. Let Zhu Feng take the things he summarized back to Zhang Zhou as a kind of entrustment and trust.

"I will definitely take it back to Brother Zhang if I have the chance. But he won’t lead troops in the future."

Zhu Feng wanted to say, in the end, would it be better to leave it to others than to Zhang Zhou?

Wang Yue smiled and said, "No. Yes, based on my many years of experience in knowing people, my ambition is not low, and when he becomes an official in the court in the future, Your Majesty will definitely think highly of him. If the northwest wants to make further progress and level the grassland to eliminate the troubles from the north, or he is the only one who can become a wise man, you can follow him and your future is boundless."

"Oh. "

Zhu Feng nodded with a dull expression.

I was still thinking, is Brother Zhang so powerful? Wang Weining shouldn't be complimenting him. Since even Wang Weining said this, then why not It’s not that Brother Zhang will be a great minister in the future

It seems I should try to curry favor with him.

“You must put your things away and remember what I said. I can only help you so far."

Wang Yue smiled, and then asked Zhu Feng to go back and digest his words.

February 21st.

Early morning.

Early in the morning, the civil servants gathered at the Meridian Gate, and while talking in twos and threes, a news spread among them.

Jianchang Wei was on February 10th. There was an earthquake on the sixth day.

“This is not the same as what your Majesty said.”

“Heaven sent a sign. It seems that your Majesty wants to clear away the moths in the court, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be ruined. Beams tend to collapse. ”

A group of people are gloating over misfortunes.

Originally, when encountering this kind of thing, they would write some articles, use the disaster situation as an example, and act as advice.

< p>But it’s saved now.

Because someone had made the suggestion in advance, the emperor accepted it and sent Jian Changbo to the imperial court.

discussion.

After Zhu Youtang arrived, his expression was neither cold nor indifferent, as if he had expected many things.

Others have no confidence in Zhang Zhou, but he has no doubts.

"My dear friends, there has just been an earthquake in Jianchang and Wei in Sichuan. Because the news was far away and the roads were inconvenient, there was no report until early this morning. I don't know what you think about this. Insights"

The emperor was patient, and first listened to the opinions of his ministers.

Liu Jian asked, "The disaster is serious."

Zhu Youtang sighed, "It's not heavy, but some houses have collapsed. I'm going to order the Sichuan Chief Envoy to send people to provide relief and do a good job." "It's a matter of peace for the people."

"Your Majesty's kindness to the people is for the benefit of the people." After Liu Jian finished speaking, he returned to the court in full view.

The emperor and his ministers were stunned.

You Liu Jian just said these two sarcastic words when you came out, even if it is your "insight"

You are really sharp with your words

Zhu Youtang waited again After a while, seeing that no one came out to speak again, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

When disasters happen in normal times, you are not allowed to express your opinions. You will come out one by one to make various connections with the disaster situation, making it seem that all disasters were caused by the negligence of my employees or the darkness in the court. There was no rain in the capital for a long time, and it was said that it was due to Cheng Minzheng's corruption of personal ethics. In the end, I dismissed Cheng Minzheng's official position.

Now I want you to say it, but you won’t say it anymore

Zhu Youtang said, “Dear gentlemen, do you think this matter is possible because I favor Jianchang? Uncle, Uncle Jianchang was arrogant and caused trouble and disturbed people's livelihood in the local area."

If you don't say it, I will say it for you.

There is nothing to hide anyway.

When the ministers heard this, they all wanted to laugh.

Your Majesty, you know what we are going to say, so why don’t you sum it up clearly?

Bai Ang, the Minister of Punishment, walked out and said, "Your Majesty, Jianchangwei is in trouble. Those who have committed the crime should be brought to justice by the local officials and guards, and the person behind it should be questioned."

Civil officials cannot rashly say that the person who carries the banner of Zhang Yanling in the local area must be Zhang Yanling's person. , it is also possible that someone is pretending to be someone else.

Let the emperor investigate, it shows that their civil servants are practical and seek truth from facts, and will not unfairly accuse good people.

Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "It is necessary to investigate, but Peng Quan, who previously commanded the Qianshi of Jianchang Guard and acted as the command envoy, the investigation is also clear. This matter is related to Jianchang Bo to some extent. It is said that there are also physical and personal evidence of communication between the two parties."

The minister became anxious upon hearing this.

Emotions have already been proven guilty before, but Your Majesty, you just didn’t say anything and asked Dongchang and Jinyiwei to get the person.

It’s simply unreasonable.

"I asked Peng Quan to come to the capital just to confront Uncle Jianchang. Didn't I already take Uncle Jianchang into custody?"

The emperor's next words , and allowed the ministers present to calm down the anger in their hearts.May.

That’s right when you think about it.

No matter what the reason was for the emperor to arrest Zhang Yanling, at least the emperor took action in advance. In addition, Peng Quan had not been formally imprisoned in the imperial prison or had a prison cell, and had not been interrogated. It cannot be said that the emperor just wanted to. Want to embarrass Peng Quan.

"I do favor and trust Uncle Jianchang, but I also pay attention to propriety in doing things, especially not to go against God's will."

When I say this, I tell the minister that I can't deal with Zhang Yanling because it's really not because Zhang Yanling did something wrong because someone told me in advance that God would be angry, and I had no choice but to do so.

Xie Qian really couldn't stand the emperor's nonsense. He walked out and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to bring order to the chaos. Should I punish the person who caused the chaos?"

A group of ministers were there. Take aim at Xie Qian.

I don’t dare to say anything I want to say, but I actually admire Xie Qian in my heart.

You, Lao Xie, still dare to talk nonsense, and Mingzheng Dianxing didn’t listen to His Majesty’s excuses, but he was still interceding for his brother-in-law

The emperor would not say it as soon as he turned his face. , imprisoned Zhang Yanling for these few days to let him reflect on himself. The purpose of punishment has been achieved. Now that the earthquake has occurred, we can fine him a few months' salary and let him go home to continue to think about his mistakes

As an emperor It is very possible that the urine is urinary.

And it is actually not easy to get to this point.

Zhu Youtang said, "This is exactly what I want to ask you all, how to deal with Uncle Jianchang, which can not only appease the resentment of God, but also give an explanation to the world so that he can get what he deserves. The lessons learned will make me feel better."

Even if the emperor did not say what the standard for "feeling better" is.

But in fact, it was to let the minister know that he still did not want to punish Zhang Yanling.

Better than the general meaning is that in the end, don’t let the Queen use the topic to be too powerful. We’d better find a way to calm public opinion, with small punishments and big warnings, and forget it.

The ministers began to discuss in low voices in front of the emperor.

This is a question the emperor asked them.

To punish Zhang Yanling, all factors must be considered to achieve the most favorable result.

From Zhu Youtang's point of view, although Zhang Zhou had suggested that Zhang Yanling should be punished to join the army in the northwest, the emperor could not bring it up personally, and had to ask the ministers to tell him.

Otherwise the emperor would say that he Instead of covering up Zhang Yanling, others would think that he was covering up. The proposal to let Zhang Yanling go to the northwest to join the army would also be rejected by the ministers.
