Wang Zheng didn't know why, but he had absolute trust in Dongchang.
Perhaps he believed that Dongchang was representing the emperor when he went out to handle the case. Even if there were flaws in the handling of the case, the emperor should point them out. Anyone else's comments would be regarded as contempt for the emperor's authority.
Of course, now that I have a Plum Blossom Order in my arms, I am truly a member of Dongchang.
This is probably a unique thing in the entire imperial court.
As for the Daning Dusi, in the future, in addition to defending its own jurisdiction, cooperating with the East Factory at any time will be the second responsibility of the Daning Dusi.
After some compliments and scoldings, and with the busy work in the kitchen, all the dishes were finally served.
Wang Zheng picked up the wine bowl in front of him, pushed the chair back, and stood up. He slowly walked to the door of the hall, and gently raised it towards the people beside the twenty or thirty tables in the yard: "Everyone
, I am very grateful to everyone who came to attend my fiftieth birthday despite your busy schedule. I have been in charge of Daning Dusi for many years, and thanks to your unremitting cooperation and support, Daning Dusi is as strong as it is today. I will do it first to respect you."
As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the bowl of soju in his hand in one gulp.
Raising the empty bowl in his hand, Wang Zheng said again: "The dishes have been served, you can start drinking!"
Amidst the congratulations from those in the courtyard, Wang Zhengyou walked into the hall and slowly sat down in his seat.
On this table in the hall, the people sitting on it are the commanders or deputy commanders who are in charge of a guard post. They are all real powerful figures.
They are also a group of trusted commanders under Wang Zheng who are absolutely obedient.
After taking turns to toast, a commander said: "Sir, from now on, we can be determined to be on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince. If so, should we resolutely refuse the deliberate wooing of other princes?"
Wang Zheng, who picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up his favorite braised fish, stopped in the air when he heard this.
After thinking for a while, he finally took back his chopsticks and looked up at everyone.
"This question of yours should be one that everyone wants to ask." After a pause, Wang Zheng's face became extremely serious, "What our emperor dislikes the most is the army participating in the prince's succession. The commander of the Imperial Guard at that time
Ji Gang, how favored he was. When he shot willows during the Dragon Boat Festival, all the officials regarded the deer as a horse and did not dare to refute. But because he helped the King of Han and participated in the action to seize the crown prince, he was eventually charged with treason by the emperor and executed on the same day.
"
"Of course, everyone who understands knows that there are other reasons for this, but the fundamental reason is that he participated in the seizure of the heir. Although we are supporting the prince now, who is the orthodox prince in the eyes of the emperor, we must not exclude others. Support
In the eyes of the emperor, the prince is loyal to the court and to the emperor himself. But if he rejects other princes thousands of miles away, in the eyes of the emperor, he is also rejected thousands of miles away. We are all princes, and we are one
They must not be offended, and even on the surface, their reasonable demands must be supported.”
"But at all times, we remember in our hearts that the prince we want to protect is His Royal Highness. As long as there is no conflict between them, if there is a conflict, we will stand by the prince's side as soon as possible."
Wang Zheng said earnestly.
The commanders under him all have nothing to say when fighting a war. They move forward bravely and never retreat. But when it comes to the secret games in the court, as straight-tempered people, they speak freely and express their joy, anger, sorrow, and joy on their faces.
, it is inevitable to suffer a loss.
"Well, what we lack is this kind of crooked intestines. Otherwise, if another prince secretly expresses his kindness in the future, we will let him come. Forget it, sir. We really can't deal with such a brain-consuming thing."
The famous commander held a plump fried chicken leg in his hand, chewing on it and saying vaguely.
Looking at his fierce generals, Wang Zheng slowly shook his head: "A thousand-mile dike was destroyed in an ant nest. If they want to get the support of the army, they must penetrate from the grassroots up little by little. You let them come here
I am a kind of rejection invisibly. If things go on like this, they will definitely think that there is no hope of winning over me, and whenever they get a chance, they will poke trouble in the back."
"What should I do? I really can't handle those things."
"As I said, as long as the demands are reasonable, try to satisfy them. But when doing things, just use 10% of your strength, which is what the people call it, a foreign worker." Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh to himself.
Since ancient times, superiors have always asked subordinates to work hard and devote themselves to everything. It was better for me to teach him how to be a grinder. If other princes heard this, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
"Hey, I understand." The commander picked up the chopsticks, picked up a big chicken leg, stretched out his arms, and placed it in the rice bowl in front of Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng shook his head and laughed.
These subordinates of his, the chicken legs that passed through most of the table, are his thoughts.
If you are not good at words and share your favorite things with others, it is the most euphemistic expression that they will listen and respect you.
While everyone was getting excited, a commander from Daning Dusi came in, walked around the big table, and said in Wang Zheng's ear: "The Jin Yiwei people are here, and the leader is a Qianhu."
"Not to mention a Qianhu, even the commander of the Jinyi Guards came and asked them to wait." Wang Zheng raised his arm and waved to everyone, "Which one of you here is not the person who commands a guard?
"
Wang Zheng felt angry when he heard the words "Jinyiwei".
For no other reason, because Xiao Chen had already said hello, Jin Yiwei came here this time to find fault with the previous case handled by Dongchang.
When Dongchang handles the case, Daning Dusi also dispatches a lot of people. What is the difference between making trouble for Dongchang and making trouble for yourself? What's more, he is holding a Plum Blossom Order in his arms.
There's nothing good about this kind of person who's looking for trouble.
"The Jinyiwei came to Daning Dusi this time with the consent of Dongchang. Although their purpose was not pure, they were openly trying to find this rebellious force and solve problems for the court. If we ignore them like this, it will inevitably happen
It will leave an excuse for the other party not to cooperate." The commanding officer whispered.
All the commanders also put down their chopsticks.
"Or, sir, you can go and meet them."
"This Jin Yiwei is not a good person. Sir, just go and deal with it. We are all your subordinates. We can just eat and drink by ourselves. It doesn't matter."
"If we ask them to wait, we don't know what bad words they will come up with to use against us."
Everyone tried to persuade Wang Zheng.
"Open a table for them so that they can enjoy my happiness." Wang Zhengdao said, taking a step back.
"This, my subordinates said, but they said that they had already eaten on the street on the way here." The commanding officer whispered back.
"Then let them wait." Wang Zheng waved his hand, "Tell them that today, on my birthday, the commanders of each guard station have arrived, and there are many military matters that need to be discussed in person."
If the commander wanted to say more, Wang Zheng waved his hand, "That's it, let's go."
In a small courtyard dozens of feet away from the Daning Dusi Yamen, the Jinyi Guards were sitting in the simple living room.
The commander of the Daning Dusi came in with a smile on his face: "Zhang Qianhu, this is the commander's fiftieth birthday. The commanders from various guard posts are also here. The commander is currently discussing military affairs with them.
It may take a while longer.”
"It doesn't matter, military affairs come first. It doesn't matter if I wait here longer." Zhang Jin was unhappy in his heart, but he still said politely.
"My lord, the commander, has said that he will hold a banquet for the brothers of Jinyiwei, and I will take the opportunity to enjoy his happiness. How about Zhang Qianhu go to the banquet with me first? After eating and drinking, maybe your lord will also finish his work?"
"
"No, no." Zhang Jin hurriedly shook his head, "Today is the commander's birthday. I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. How could I have the nerve to go to the banquet."
"Gifts or not, it's all a trivial matter. Your Majesty said, let the brothers enjoy themselves." The commanding officer said with a smile.
Zhang Jin clasped his hands in his fists: "Thank you for your kindness. When I came here, I had already eaten on the street. We will just wait here."
"In that case, I'll go back and resume my life first. Zhang Qianhu is free to do so." He nodded towards the other party, commanded his colleagues to turn around and leave the small courtyard.
