"Everyone is talking about it. What should we do next after being in charge of the country alone?" Zhu Ruoji asked humbly.
"Your Highness, I think you should replace the generals of the imperial army and take charge of the military after you take over the throne." Ginger is still old and hot. Guan Shouzhen hit the point with his first words and pointed to military power. No matter which dynasty or generation, the army is very important.<
/p>
"Your Highness, you should award officials and titles to win over people's hearts; at the same time, seal the palace gates and isolate information, especially the palace of Concubine Chen Huang, which needs to be surrounded by elite troops." Gu Yi also offered a clever strategy.
"I think that in the name of calling the prince into the palace because the holy emperor is seriously ill, we should lure King Ji into the palace and either capture or kill him. Only in this way can we get rid of him once and for all," Tang Zhen said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Zhu Ruoji's eyes sparkled, and he used his eyes to seek Queen Shi's opinion.
Empress Shi couldn't help but secretly sigh, her husband is really smart about people. He appointed Tang Zhen as the prince's teacher. This is a way to reserve talents for the next twenty years! This Tang Zhen has quick thinking, bold ideas, insight and courage.
, is really a rare talent!
On the pretext that the emperor was seriously ill, he lured King Ji into the palace and either captured or killed him. Did he want to stage another Xuanwu Gate incident in the Ming Dynasty? The idea was good, but was it too risky? If it failed,
, there will definitely be rivers of blood in the capital!
"Zhu Wan's method is good, but it is too cautious and too risky. Once it fails, His Highness the Crown Prince will be put in danger. It is considered that His Highness has already supervised the country and has the honor of being a righteous person, and he will defect to you."
There will be more and more, and King Ji is just the opposite. Every time that passes, your strength becomes stronger, and King Ji becomes weaker. Therefore, there is no need to rush to solve King Ji, and you should calm down.
, Use slowness to control speed." Guan Shouzhen cleared his thoughts and said slowly.
"I also support the views of the chief minister. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Since the righteousness belongs to me, why rush for a while? If you wait until your position of supervising the country is more stable before taking action, you will have greater confidence. Moreover, now the imperial guards and the imperial army
The generals, most of whom are old ministers of the Holy Emperor, may not support us in trapping King Ji in the palace. Once the news is leaked, it will be easy to alert the enemy. In my opinion, it is better to be on the safe side." Gu Yi also supports Guan Shouzhen's point of view.
"No, the two pavilion elders know that the art of war is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared. At this time, the news that His Highness is supervising the country has not yet spread. King Ji is eager to find out the news about the Holy One. He also thinks that most of the generals of the imperial army are old ministers of the Holy One, so there must be no doubt that he is there.
It may seem like a risk, but in fact it is a great certainty. If we wait until the news of Your Highness's supervision of the country spreads before taking action, the King of Ji will have already taken precautions, and it will be difficult to take advantage of it! Moreover, the disease varies in severity, and the King of Ji has already established his power.
It's a serious disease, and strong medicine is needed to treat it. Don't hesitate, raising tigers will lead to danger." Tang Zhen did not give up and continued to persuade.
On one side are the elders who are mature and prudent, advocating slow progress; on the other side are the young ones who are enterprising and advocating quick plans. If Empress Shi was more than ten years younger, she would definitely prefer Tang Zhen's method, but she is fifty-four years old this year.
As people get older, they tend to seek stability and be conservative. Besides, if you are already a queen, why do you need to fight to the death?
She said to everyone in a gentle tone: "The words of all the gentlemen are very reasonable. Although Guan Shoufu's method is slow, it is better than sure; although Tang Shilang's method is fast, it is also risky. A son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. I think it’s better to ensure that the crown prince supervises the country first and proceed steadily!”
"I will obey the Queen's orders." The Queen's words were final and she made a decision directly. All the important ministers present, whether they agreed or not, had no choice but to obey the orders.
Tang Zhen was secretly disappointed. Everyone was satisfied with their current power and did not dare to risk their lives. The reason why King Ji grew from a meager strength to the current situation that is difficult to control was because he dared to risk his life. Fighting is so cruel. If you don’t dare to risk your life, you will fall behind.
But as a minister, the Lord has already made a decision, and it is not easy to disobey it. He thought for a while and said: "Since the Queen and Your Highness advocate slowing down the plan, there is one thing that must be paid attention to."
"Oh. Which one?" Queen Shi and Zhu Ruoji asked in unison.
"Please send heavy troops to surround the Qianqing Palace and never let the Holy One leave the palace."
"What!"
"What!"
"What!"
Everyone took a breath. Tang Zhen meant to put the old emperor under house arrest in the Qianqing Palace. This was treason! Emperor Guangwu had always been a god-like existence in everyone's hearts. The emperor who was under house arrest really didn't want to live anymore!
"Be careful in your words. Putting the emperor under house arrest is a crime of treason," Guan Shouzhen said in shock.
"First Assistant, Your Majesty is seriously ill. We are taking this action to protect His Majesty and rest in peace. This is not house arrest. Who in the world dares to put the Emperor under house arrest?" Tang Zhen smiled.
"But, Master Tang, my father can't speak now, and it's difficult to even move. Is it necessary to send heavy troops to protect him?" Zhu Ruoji was a little confused.
Tang Zhen said seriously: "Even if the Holy One is seriously ill, he is still the master of the world. We must guard against King Ji kidnapping the Holy One and holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes."
"Well, what Master Tang said makes sense." Zhu Ruoji nodded repeatedly.
Tang Zhen said again: "Your Highness, have you ever thought about what to do if the Holy One wakes up?"
"How can your father wake up when he is so ill?" Zhu Ruoji was stunned. He had never thought about this problem before, and he was extremely frightened when he thought about it. He imprisoned the country without his father's orders, and his mother was beaten to death. Ma Huanxi, the most trusted eunuch of his father, once his father wakes up, will he let himself and his mother go?
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I started sweating profusely.
Not only was he scared, but everyone present here, including Queen Shi, Guan Shouzhen, Gu Yi, etc., all couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing the words. They all looked pale and felt flustered and short of breath.
Tang Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Why are you so cowardly? If you don't do anything, you won't stop. Since you have been entrusted by His Majesty the Crown Prince to supervise the country, why should you give up halfway? If you are worried about the thunder after the Holy Emperor wakes up, then send a reliable person. Just surround the Qianqing Palace and guard it carefully."
This time, everyone finally understood Tang Zhen’s true intention of sending troops to surround the Qianqing Palace. He was afraid that King Ji would kidnap the emperor and hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. It was a lie, but it was true to prevent the old emperor from regaining power after he woke up!
"Sir, who do you think it would be best to send alone to guard Qianqing Palace?" Zhu Ruoji asked humbly.
"I think that General Yu Tai is loyal to you, and he is the only one responsible for guarding Qianqing Palace," Tang Zhen replied.
When everyone heard this, they all clapped their hands and praised it. The so-called loyalty is just a nice word. The real reason is that Yu Tai killed an official to seize the seal and presented it to the prince. He had no way out in front of the emperor. It was just right to send him to guard the Qing Palace.
Zhu Ruoji looked at Mrs. Yu, "President Yu, Guyi sent you to lead five hundred, no, one thousand personal guards, to guard Qianqing Palace and not allow anyone to enter or exit. Do you dare to take on this important task?"
The so-called "no idlers are allowed in and out", where did the idlers come from in the palace? In fact, it was to keep the old emperor's ears in check.
Mrs. Yu knew it well and said with emotion: "I will go there eventually!"
