"You...refuse?" Zhu Houzhao could hardly believe his ears.
"Yes, I refuse." Zhang Yanling said.
Academician Fei Hong said in a deep voice: "Duke Protector, why are you doing this? In this critical moment, you should..."
"Fuck your mother! You still have the nerve to say this?" Zhang Yanling cursed fiercely, his voice so loud that the ears of everyone present were ringing.
"If it weren't for you, how could we be in such a dangerous situation today? Do you still have the nerve to point fingers at me? You took advantage of my absence in the capital and ignored the objections of Duke Dingguo and Duke Yingying, and insisted on sending troops to attack Hetao. Now do it
If you are in such a mess, you have to ask others to wipe your butts. Do you want to be shameless? Fei Hong, you like
Are you talking about great truth? Why don’t you go and talk to the Tatars? Why don’t you go and talk to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers trapped in Dongsheng City? You have the nerve to say these things to me. I’m too shameless to you, I think of you
It's so good. I always thought you would make changes for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Time and time again, I'm disappointed. It's really disappointing."
Zhang Yanling scolded Fei Hong face to face, but he did not dare to refute even a single word.
At this time, he shouldn't be talkative, but he couldn't help it. Based on his opposition to Zhang Yanling, when he heard that Zhang Yanling dared to reject the emperor, he instinctively wanted to seize this opportunity to step on Zhang Yanling. But he realized it at this moment.
, how can this be the time when I can speak? At this time, I have to put my tail between my legs and be a human being.
But what Zhang Yanling said was not just about Fei Hong. Yang Tinghe and Zhu Houzhao were also listening, with a fever on their face and bowing their heads in silence.
Of course he could tell that Zhang Yanling's angry words were about him. The night before he issued the imperial edict, he had a heart-to-heart talk with Zhang Yanling in his house. He promised Zhang Yanling that he would make changes. Then he issued the order.
He had sinned and decided to change his past mistakes.
However, he later violated the promise he made in the imperial edict. He got drunk and caroused all night, and left the court the next day. On the matter of sending troops to the Loop, he did not wait for Zhang Yanling to come back to discuss it with him. It was such a great success.
I made the same mistake again, and now I'm in this situation.

At first, Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Lun and others tried their best to dissuade themselves, hoping to wait until Zhang Yanling came back to discuss the decision. But at that time, he actually felt that once his uncle came back, he would definitely obstruct the matter. So he did not listen to the advice at all. Even he felt that Yang Tinghe and others
There are some flaws in my plan, but I always take a chance, thinking that this time I will succeed, and my great achievements in regaining the Hetao will be enough to offset the previous mistakes and make the people of the world look at me with admiration.
Although Zhang Yanling didn't say anything after returning to Beijing, it was obvious that he was very angry. Now that he was in big trouble, he asked him to send troops. His refusal was because he didn't respect him enough. The disappointment he said was not about Fei
Macro's disappointment, but disappointment in himself.
Zhang Yanling turned to Zhu Houzhao, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years. I have been traveling all over the world. I am really tired. I want to take a good rest. Over the years, I and my family have been together less and apart more.
Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival, others are happy
We are all together, but I can't be with my wife and children. I really feel ashamed of them. My son Zhang Yi doesn't even know me anymore. Next month, my wife and two concubines will also give birth.
I want to stay with them this time. I can’t obey my order.”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yanling and wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Zhang Yanling continued: "I know that some people will say that I ignore the critical affairs of the court for the sake of my small family. I am ungrateful for the emperor's kindness, and I don't refute them. Those who say these things, I don't even bother to refute them. Because
They are like ants in front of me, Zhang Yanling. I take a look at them and say,
I lost. Of course, it is understandable if the emperor thinks so too. After all, I am indeed deeply favored by the emperor and am favored by him. If the emperor questions my loyalty and feels that I am ungrateful, I can resign from all titles and official positions.
, return all this to the emperor. If I become a commoner, at least I will end up with
I am peaceful and live a comfortable life. I am not pretentious. I am a person with no desires and pursuits. The pastoral life is more suitable for me. Besides, I am tired now and I am tired. I don’t want to, and I don’t want to go to the east again.
Running around, working hard and fighting for the mistakes of others over and over again. I am also
Look at it, I can't change anything. Forgive me for being presumptuous. This may be the last time I say these words in front of the emperor. So, please don't force me. If the emperor feels that these words of mine are rebellious and have hurt the emperor,
The majesty of the emperor. As long as the emperor has decreed that the ministers will be dealt with, the ministers will accept it."
There was deathly silence in the palace. Only Xu Guangzuo was breathing heavily due to fear. Everyone else was speechless, shocked in their hearts by Zhang Yanling's bold words.
Yang Tinghe stood there with his head lowered, mentally assessing the consequences of Zhang Yanling's words. The best result is that the emperor will be angered, and then Zhang Yanling will be unlucky. But it seems unlikely. With Zhang Yanling's current status and reputation, the emperor
I won't do it, and I don't dare to do it.
But what Zhang Yanling said today may be used. The emperor is a conceited person. Even if he doesn't say it on the surface, he will definitely be dissatisfied in his heart. This may be a seed.
But the more likely result is that the emperor will compromise. Then Zhang Yanling can take the opportunity to force the emperor to do something. For example, deal with himself, Fei Hong and others. Or there may be other favorable conditions for Zhang Yanling.
With Zhang Yanling's intelligence, he would never do it just to vent. He must have his own purpose.

It is a pity that if it were in the past, I could stand up and give a righteous rebuttal to Zhang Yanling at this moment, and help the emperor rebuke his treacherous words. But in the current situation, I must not say a word. Otherwise, just now,
The fire that goes out on oneself will be immediately ignited by Zhang Yanling.
Xu Guangzuo coughed and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Protector may have been excited after hearing the news that the army was trapped, so he said these impulsive words. Please don't mind it. Lord Protector, please tell me what you have to say."
, How is it appropriate to make a noise in front of so many people? We are discussing important matters now, so don't waste your time on emotions."
Zhang Lun also said: "Yes, Lord Protector, don't be like this. State affairs are the most important thing. We all understand your mood, and the emperor will not blame you. Don't say angry words. We still discuss the matter of sending troops."
"
Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "I have already expressed my opinion on the matter of sending troops. I have nothing more to say. I also declined the matter of leading the army on the expedition. There is no need for me to participate in the discussion on this matter. What I said is not exciting.
What I say is what is in my heart."
Xu Guangzuo and Zhang Lun smiled bitterly and were speechless. This Yanling failed to move down the stairs, which made them a little embarrassed.
Zhang Yanling cupped her hands to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I can't help you by staying here. It will affect your discussion of important matters. Please leave."
Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips and said: "Duke Protector..."
Zhang Yanling bowed and said: "I excuse myself!"
Before Zhu Houzhao could finish speaking, Zhang Yanling turned around and left, striding out the door.
Zhu Houzhao's face turned red and white, and he was very embarrassed. Everyone was dumbfounded. Just listening to Zhang Yanling's footsteps gradually disappearing under the corridor, everyone remained silent. They didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Zhu Houzhao said: "We must prepare immediately for dispatching troops and horses. Zhang Lun, assemble the troops and horses, and prepare supplies and food. This matter cannot be delayed. I am a little tired, so we will stop here for the time being. I will rest for now."
Take a break and think about it.”
Zhang Lun said hurriedly: "I obey the order."
Everyone hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll leave you!"
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head, only waved his hands and said nothing. Everyone had to file out and leave the palace.
After Zhang Yanling left the palace, he galloped all the way. It was early in the morning, and there were only a few early-rising pedestrians on the dim streets. Zhang Yanling and his party were able to gallop without any hindrance.
The market around him quickly retreated, and the cool morning breeze blew on his body, making him feel slightly chilly. But this made Zhang Yanling's hot body feel very comfortable.
Zhang Yanling originally didn't want to say what she said today, but for some reason, it suddenly broke out. She vented it out in one breath. After the depressed and disappointed emotions in her heart were vented, she felt extremely comfortable.
Zhang Yanling was indeed very disappointed with Zhu Houzhao, and she really couldn't stand him. She supported him and made up for his mistakes. Over the years, she had solved all the big mistakes he had made and the crises he had caused.
As a result, he still did not repent and still went his own way.
In Zhu Houzhao's heart, I'm afraid he is the only one. He may have a little respect and reliance on himself, but that's because he can be used by him. Most of all, he has no respect for himself at all. He has not changed at all, and he is still the willful and ignorant person.
The so-called Zhu Houzhao.
This time, we must hit him in public to make him understand that disrespecting himself is not without price. Let him understand that he is not a dog that can come and go when he calls him. If something happens, he has to put out the fire himself.
Then the old trick is repeated and the process is repeated again.

This time, Zhu Houliang must make it clear that he will not tolerate the nonsense like a child who has not grown up without limit.
Of course, Zhang Yanling is not to the point of completely disregarding the overall situation. His outburst today does have his own purpose.
Zhang Yanling knew that Zhang Lun would not dare to lead the army alone to fight the Tatars, especially after learning that the enemy's situation was complicated, he would definitely involve him. With Zhang Lun's ability, he would not be able to handle such a major military operation.
The reason why I asked him to come forward was naturally to take care of Zhang Lun and show respect.
Zhang Yanling believed that Zhang Lun would soon come to persuade him to lead the army with him. And Zhu Houzhao would also come to him in private to beg him and say some nice words to calm him down and let him help him. Because Zhu Houzhao also understood that Zhang Lun
Not a suitable candidate.
But this time, Zhang Yanling will not agree to him easily. In other words, he must not act like a cow or a horse unconditionally. He must put forward his own conditions, and explain everything thoroughly and clearly. To achieve his goals,
Zhu Houzhao must be allowed to meet his conditions.
From today on, I will work hard to be a powerful minister. I cannot allow Ming Dynasty to be tossed back and forth by Zhu Houzhao, nor can I allow Yang Ting and this gang of thieves to continue to do whatever they want without a bottom line, but still turn danger into safety.
