Chapter 264 This is no longer a contest and collision of the same magnitude
"Is this what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should do? He forgets justice with grievances. Doesn't he know that this opportunity can enable our Ming Dynasty's northern border to enjoy peace and tranquility for at least several decades? How much less military expenditure the country can spend on northern Xinjiang?
Li Shu, who has been able to live and work in peace for decades." Yu Qian, this loyal minister who has always been impartial, ignored court disputes, and worked honestly and conscientiously, at this moment, couldn't help but look at the man sitting there.
Standing next to him, Wang Zhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, vomited his bitterness and complained in a low voice.
"Tingyi, you finally see it clearly, haha..." Lao Wang stroked his long beard under his chin and showed a meaningful smile. "Speaking of which, we are ministers and should not criticize the emperor.
, However, the emperor ascended the throne when the country was in danger. Although he had the ambition to work hard and thought hard about politics, he could not persist for a long time. His character was suspicious and unclear. He was trying to promote the throne for his ministers in times of crisis.
But the more this happens, the more he feels that the ministers are doing this out of helplessness."
"Yes, he is often suspicious of his ministers, unwilling to use officials with confidence, and favoring his eunuchs. Compared with the past emperors, he is even worse." Yu Qian couldn't help but said with a sad smile. "Not to mention that he is single-minded.
He established his legitimate son as the crown prince and ignored the great trust of the country and the country. If this continues, great changes will occur in the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, Lao Wang raised his eyebrows, looked at Yu Qian with a smile and said, "Ting Yi came to my humble residence today, surely it's not just to complain, right?"
"Actually, Qian does have something to discuss with the old minister." Yu Qian took a deep breath and said a little uncomfortably in the face of Wang Zhi's shrewd and sophisticated eyes.
Old Wang Zhi pondered for a while, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Oh, in that case, please tell Tingyi directly, um... If Tingyi wants me to make concessions on deposing the crown prince, then Tingyi
It’s better not to say it. Although I am a minister of the Emperor, I am also a minister of the Ming Dynasty. What I do is not for the king, but for the country.”
Yu Qian couldn't help but feel a little bitter on his face. "Old Minister, Ming Dynasty, can't stand the torment..."
"It is precisely because I know that the Ming Dynasty cannot withstand the hardships that I said these words. Tingyi, with your talents, can't you still see what His Majesty the Emperor has done? You can't see clearly today.
The behavior of the emperor?" Lao Wang sighed, his voice getting deeper and deeper. "Presumably, you have also heard about the fact that I, the general of the Ming Dynasty, secretly sent troops to the grassland without telling the court and the emperor.
?”
Yu Qian's figure couldn't help but stiffen, and his shoulders slumped down. Although the generals tried their best to conceal it, Yu Qian, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, how could he not find out the clues? After linking up the details, although Yu Qian didn't
He could guess the ins and outs of the matter, but one thing he was sure of was that His Majesty Zhu Qizhen must have used some tricks to make the generals in these border towns couldn't help but agree.
Hidden troops cut down the grassland.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
It was precisely because he had vaguely guessed the truth, and it was precisely because of the terrible consequences that might come from understanding this truth, that Yu Qian appeared in the house of Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to find this man who was extremely firm in his stance and opposed the current situation.
The emperor deposed the old minister who established the crown prince, hoping to obtain a compromise between the ministers and the emperor from him and end the dispute as soon as possible.
This allowed the emperor to come forward and order the Northern Expedition in Bianzhen. In this way, Zhu Qiyu was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. The credit for this battle would definitely be attributed to Zhu Qiyu, which would not only enhance his prestige, but also consolidate his authority.
Moreover, it can also weaken the strength formed by Zhu Qizhen's previous series of plans, and let the soldiers on all sides understand that today, he is their emperor, not Zhu Qizhen. Because Yu Qian does not want to see that just now
The Ming Dynasty, which had been severely damaged by the Tumubao Incident, once again experienced the Battle of Jingnan. From this aspect, Yu Qian's starting point was also for the Ming Dynasty, not for a certain emperor.
"Tingyi, you are a great talent, and your heart is for the country and the country. This old man can see clearly and know what you are thinking in your heart. But now, if I and the ministers agree, what will the Supreme Emperor think?"
Wang Zhi took a big sip of tea, chewed the tea leaves that poured into his mouth, and slowly chewed the astringent and light fragrance emitted by the leaves. There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Don't forget, Your Majesty. Before the Northern Expedition, His Majesty made a blood edict to be the emperor of today, which shows his great ambition. Since the Northern Expedition, he has followed the example of Gou Jian, working hard and striving to achieve his goals, and putting the country first in everything he does.
, Li Shu was always put first, and in less than two years, the Xuan Mansion had completely restored its old views, and was even far more prosperous than when Yang Hong was there..."
"...I look at all the ancestors since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Who can have such a method? Who has such courage? This has never happened since ancient times."
"The emperor has shown himself to be a hero and has the ambition to be a hero. Does Ting Yi think that he can suppress this kind of people just because we are all attached to him? Besides, the emperor of today is very narrow-minded.
, His depravity has made him the laughing stock of the world. If he really angers the Supreme Emperor, who has already controlled the hearts and minds of the army and the people in the important town of Xuanfu, by that time, we don’t want the Ming Dynasty to be in chaos, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop it.”
After hearing these words of Lao Wangzhi, Yu Qian couldn't help but be stunned. Now that he thought about it carefully, Yu Qian couldn't help but be shocked to discover that Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who had abdicated the throne, in less than two years, had only relied on
An empty title of supervising the civil and military affairs of Xuanfu has actually grasped the hearts of more than a million people in Xuanfu and the military morale of nearly a hundred thousand elite troops.
In the past two years, in the Ming Dynasty, the most popular, most widespread, and most popular thing among the people in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, up and down the Yellow River, was not the stories of ancient talents and beauties, nor those romance novelists, but Zhu Qi's
The deeds of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty Emperor.
It can be said that there are not many people in the world who don't know Zhu Qizhen's series of legendary deeds.
And similarly, today's emperor is narrow-minded and selfish. He wants to prevent the emperor from traveling to a foreign land by making peace with Wasi. He treats the emperor like a poor man. Later, he even breaks his promise and allows his legitimate son to become a prince.
The prince secretly ordered someone to poison him, and he lived a luxurious and arrogant life. He doted on the eunuchs. As the king of a country, he liked to prostitute women all day long...
In short, in the eyes of the people of Ming Dynasty, there is almost a sharp contrast between the Emperor and His Majesty the Supreme Emperor. It is clear at a glance who is good and who is bad. Although Yu Qian also knows very well that these must be done by people with good intentions, and those people with good intentions are not.
It's not something that his ability can stop, not to mention he doesn't have the slightest bit of evidence.
Not to mention him, even the newly appointed commander of the Jin Yiwei, Lu Zhong, is now scolded by Zhu Qiyu all day long, but there is still nothing he can do. Even if he finds a trace of clues, it will happen quickly.
I found out that those were just fake traps.
The more he thought about it, Yu Qian felt that his heart was filled with shock and horror. Unexpectedly, sweat had wet his cheeks, and even the thick back of the green shirt was soaked with sweat.
For a moment, Yu Qian realized that his thoughts were so naive and wishful thinking.
In other words, the current general trend of the Ming Dynasty is no longer dependent on any minister or the will of others. Everything is as if His Majesty Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor, has been laying out the plan from the beginning, eroding step by step.
It corrodes people's hearts and corrupts the ruling and opposition parties of the Ming Dynasty.
And he seemed to still have the energy to benefit the Ming Dynasty's greatest enemy, Wa Ci. It only took less than two years for Wa Ci, who was originally powerful enough to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty and even regarded as a personal nuisance of the Ming Dynasty.
Really, under his turbulent hands, everything was reduced to ashes in an understatement...
Even though Emperor Taizong had great martial arts skills at that time, he did not have the means to do so. What's more, he was just an emperor who had abdicated. In less than two years, he quietly became the emperor.
No one noticed him, or they had already laid the groundwork before anyone had time to be alert, forming a trend that no one could stop.
"...In this case, even if all the civil and military officials in the court are on the side of the emperor and unanimously pass the proposal to abolish the crown prince, so what?" Yu Qian couldn't help but pause his feet and let out a long sigh.
Lao Wang, who had been staring at Yu Qian's expression changing and sweating profusely in silence, directly replied: "Ting Yi, you finally figured it out. You know, the prince is now beside the emperor, and he abdicated the throne
, which is equivalent to a compromise, but you should also know what the current Supreme Emperor's character is like."
"Today's actions in the past have been wronged too much. Although the Supreme Emperor has made concessions step by step, these concessions have made everyone in the world see clearly what kind of person today is. When the time comes, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor will strike with his arms.
There are far more people in the world who are clapping their hands and applauding than those who are on the side of today’s emperor.”

"What's more, I also received news a few days ago that Wu Qinghou, General Zhenshuo, and Datong Town's Chief Military Officer Shi Heng have already left Datong Town with 25,000 elite troops, fighting with Gansu, Guyuan, and Ningxia
Elite troops from all sides gathered at Yingma Terrace." Lao Wangzhi's words were very soft, but they were no less than a thunder, exploding in Yu Qian's ears.
Yu Qian suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Old Wang Zhi, as if he wanted to see the authenticity of these words from his face. Although he had guessed, which towns in the border areas might send troops to the grassland
, However, he could never have imagined that as the most trusted general of the emperor and one of the most trusted generals, and as an important chess piece to secretly monitor the Emperor who was stationed in Xuan Mansion, he would actually stand at such a time.
That side of Zhu Qizhen.
Not to mention how much shock this news would cause if spread, more importantly, it was like a signal. Even Shi Heng, a close confidant of the emperor, was accepted by the Supreme Emperor. So, let me ask, Ming Dynasty's Northern Frontier Town
Generals, who else would have any hesitation?
Even if it costs a thousand gold to buy bones, it is nothing more than this. What's more, today's emperor's trust in Shi Heng is known to the whole world, and Datong Border Town has become more and more powerful with the help of today's emperor.
It was powerful, comparable to the important town of Xuanfu. The combined troops and horses in these two places alone amounted to more than 200,000 elite border troops.
The border towns in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty were important military towns that had been strengthened and strengthened from the Hongwu period until the present day. It can be said that most of the elites of the Ming Dynasty were in these border towns. If these border towns were all close to
The words of Zhu Qizhen, the Supreme Emperor... In today's world, even if he has the full support of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, what is the use?
Thinking about it, Emperor Taizong only rose to power with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and finally seized the throne. What's more, today, the prestige and magnanimity of the Supreme Emperor, both in court and at home, far exceed that of the emperor today. If the emperor really does something dirty again,
In terms of means...
In other words, this is no longer a contest and collision of the same magnitude, but the scale has tilted greatly before it started. Thinking of this, Yu Qian couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and his originally straight waist,
He also seemed to be a little stooped, giving off an aura of depression.
Lao Wangzhi stood up slowly, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the blue sky outside the window and the unpredictable clouds. With the gentle breeze, he pointed at the snow-like hair on the temples and the
He has a long beard and a calm gaze, revealing a sense of enlightenment and suddenness.
When I was very young, under the guidance of Teacher Qimeng, I once read an article that was so eye-catching and clear that Lao Wang couldn't help but recite it: "Mencius said: Shun was born in
Among the acres of land, Fu Shuo was raised among the buildings, Jiao Ge was raised among the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was raised among the scholars, Sun Shuao was raised among the sea, and Baili Xi was raised among the city. Therefore, heaven will give great responsibilities to these people.
You must first strain your mind, strain your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, deplete your body, and mess up your actions. Therefore, if you are tempted to endure your nature, you will benefit what you can't do. People will always make mistakes, and then they can change. Trapped in the heart, balance
In thinking, then writing. In character, in sound, then in metaphor. When you enter, you will be helpless, and when you leave, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will be permanently destroyed. Then you will know that you are born in sorrow and die in peace and happiness..."
Listening to Lao Wangzhi's old and rich voice, reciting this famous Mencius poem, Yu Qian couldn't help but feel swayed. The past of Zhu Qizhen, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, seemed to be a legendary experience, one by one.
It flashed before my eyes and finally settled on the figure under the capital city. It was far less tall than the towering city walls of the capital city, but it made people feel extremely majestic and so proud that everyone in the world seemed to be willing to bow down and worship...
On that day, Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly fell seriously ill and was lying in the palace. The Ministry of War responded to all affairs and entrusted them to the Minister of the Ministry of War. After hearing the news, the emperor sent many imperial doctors and good medicines to show his favor. However, for Yu Qian before
He implored the emperor to allow soldiers from all over the border to send troops to the desert to level the grasslands and restore Taizong's prosperous age, but he turned a blind eye and delegated political affairs to the cabinet and internal officials. Zhu Qiyu seemed to have realized that the situation was not good for him, and stepped up his efforts to abolish the crown prince.
It even hinted that all the close eunuchs should use the method of dealing with the cabinet to bribe the important officials of the court, so that they could stand on their side on the issue of deposing the crown prince...

: I’m full of energy, hehe, I finally got another 4,000. I’ll try to get 4,000 every day from now on. Once I get used to it, I’ll try to speed it up. Thank you all for your understanding, support and encouragement.
In addition, at least give some recommendation votes or something. There is no use keeping that thing. You don’t need to leave it all to Qing to join in the fun, right, hehe... ro!.
