Chapter 339
It was mid-autumn, and Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet as the first assistant.
That night, Zhou Yanru was a little worried when he thought about the changes in government and politics in the past two days.
First, it was trifling, a martial artist, and within a day, the grass-people promoted to the position of general, and that appearance was quite popular with the emperor. This is nothing. Although it violates the ancestral system, but if you think about it carefully, there is only one general, which is insignificant.
Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. A trifling martial artist is just a knife in the Imperial Court. How can it be sharp? As the chief assistant of the cabinet, how he wants to handle it is not a question of one sentence?
The key is the Crown Prince Governor's suppression of thieves, which is the source of Zhou Yanru's anxiety.
Crown Prince Zhu Cihao, other people don't know, he Zhou Yanru doesn't know? He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. Some evaluators regard it with the mention of Taizu and Chengzu on equal terms as the future master of the Great Ming.
But Great Ming's master of rejuvenation is not his master of rejuvenation, nor the master of rejuvenation of the group of people behind him. What they need is a mediocre or even stupid emperor. If the emperor is too powerful, where will he and the others have the opportunity to take power and accept bribes and take over the world?
As a minister, especially to the point where he is under one person above ten thousand people, the only thing he wants is to become a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng, which is a natural opposition to imperial power. What's more, he did not dare to disobey the people behind him.
Because of the existence of Crown Prince, these people have always been afraid. But Crown Prince is reclusive and never makes mistakes. They can't hold the handle, they can only cover up Crown Prince's wisdom and act as a transparent person. This is also the reason why Crown Prince Zhu Cihao's wisdom is not widely known.
Just because of that public opinion, it is in the hands of these people.
But now, Crown Prince has come forward!
This makes Zhou Yanru like a man on his back. This is the key, especially since Crown Prince has never been close to them.
Once the Crown Prince, who is not close to them, and who is very wise and very wise, gets power and even ascends the throne, will they also have a good life?
A martial artist, they don't care. But a wise Crown Prince, the sharpest weapon wielded by the future emperor, combines the two into one, which is terrifying.
What happened in the daytime, Zhou Yanru's sharp ears and keen eyes, has long been known. Knowing that the Crown Prince ordered the martial artist to go to Liaodong to transfer troops, I became even more anxious.
So after thinking about it, I came up with an idea.
I ordered someone to take the invitation and go to invite someone.
But before the servant went out, the two turned up without being invited.
In the study, the lights are dim.
Zhou Yanru sat opposite Chen Yan and Xie Sheng, two cabinet ministers.
Chen Yan is the Minister of the Household Department, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and the second assistant of the cabinet. This is not the key, the key is that Chen Yan is the representative of the Donglin Party in the Imperial court.
As for Zhou Yanru, after Wen Tiren stepped down, the Donglin Party came to the fore.
In other words, in the cabinet, Chen Yan is actually the real chief assistant.
As for Xie Sheng, he's actually a scumbag. The Qi Chu-Zhe Party, or the eunuch party represented by Wen Tiren, when in power, Xie Sheng listened to Wen Tiren. But now that the Donglin Party occupies the cabinet, he listens to the Donglin Party.
As for the other cabinet minister, Wei Zhaocheng, who is not here, he is the only remaining representative of the eunuch party, and has been squeezed out by these three people and has no right to speak.
Naturally, Zhou Yanru impossible also invited Wei Zhaocheng.
In this small study room, three of the four senior scholars in the cabinet were present.
The lights are dim, and at first glance, it is shamelessly seeking personal gain.
Zhou Yanru said solemnly: "Originally, the thief was under control. However, the Crown Prince may come out and hold a sharp knife. The Crown Prince has never been close to me. The thief was successfully suppressed, and the Crown Prince has the power, what can I do?"
Chen Yan nodded slightly, saying, "That's why I came here to have a secret conversation with Brother Zhou."
Then said: "Crown Prince is too wise, too wise, easy to act arbitrarily, and greatly disadvantageous to the world. I will lead the world for the sake of the world, and I will put an end to such hidden dangers."
" With the meaning of praising the emperor..." Xie Sheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture on his neck, which was extraordinarily gloomy.
Zan Huang is Chen Yan's number.
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Hey, this is a big inappropriate remark. The Crown Prince is the emperor's direct son, the Zhu Family heir, how can he be so disrespectful?" paused, said with a smile: "The thief may It's a mob, but there are several hundred thousand plans. Although the Crown Prince is wise, he has no experience, and he is defeated as it should be by rights."
Zhou Yanru, hearing this, could not help thinking for a moment, and said, "I like it. Although the emperor's remarks are reasonable, the martial artist has to guard against it. You and I both know what the situation in Liaodong was like in the past. However, with the strength of that one person, all the violent Tatars were defeated. Although there were many thieves, But how can I get the Tatar?"
Xie Sheng also can't help nod to say yes.
Chen Yan remained unmoved, said with a smile: "Tatar is a Tatar, and a thief is a thief. In terms of battle strength, the thief is naturally inferior to Tatar. But the war in Liaodong, if it wasn't for Hong Chengchou's plan, only What can a martial artist do? Wars are not decided by only one person. Especially thieves, who run around the world, can't beat and run, everywhere in the world, even if the martial artist has ten legs, what can they do? ?"
"As the provisions are all under our control, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong towns, do you think they should listen to the cabinet or the Crown Prince?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yanru and Xie Sheng couldn't help but look at each other, secretly said Chen Yan was vicious.
These words, inside and out, are clearly waiting for Crown Prince to send troops, starting with provisions and military pay, to force him to defeat. And the auxiliary means is to coerce the troops and horses of the towns in Liaodong.
Xie Sheng interjected: "It's best to keep the troops and horses in the towns of Liaodong in place, Crown Prince has no troops to use, he will go home after leaving the capital, and he is about to spread a joke and let him The Crown Prince has lost his reputation."
This one is even more vicious, taking this opportunity to knock the Crown Prince out of the dust.
When Chen Yan heard it, his eyes shined, and he patted his hand: "Brother Yi Jin, this is a good word!"
So he thought about it and said, "I heard that the martial artist will go to Liaodong tomorrow to tune in. Soldiers, in this case, we can send people to take a step ahead, and the general soldiers of the various towns in Liaodong will move with love and reason, and will not dare to go against it."
He said, "If this is the case, no Don't stop doing it, Ding Qirui of the Ministry of War is not in Henan to suppress thieves, but it's like this..."
The rest of the two people heard this, and couldn't help but be amazed, and even praised the emperor for no last resort.
In the end, Zhou Yanru added: "We must also beware of the prestige of the martial artist in Liaodong. Although Hong Chengchou planned to defeat Tatar, the role of the martial artist should not be underestimated. The most respectful winner must have a reputation in the towns of Liaodong. If the towns in Liaodong thought that they would control their troops and horses, and did not obey the orders of the cabinet, but still obeyed the martial artist, it would be bad.”
Chen Yan pondered this, and then nodded: "Good. As far as Brother Zhou sees it, how should I deal with it?"
"It's better to die ends all one's troubles and kill that Martial artist." Zhou Yanru's eyes flashed a very ruthless color: "The martial artist is strong and the Crown Prince is strong, the two are combined, even if the Crown Prince can be stopped this time, it may not be able to stop the next time. The only solution is to cut off his roots."
Xie Sheng said, "However, the martial artist has never hurt his fur, so how can he kill him?"
"If not Divine Immortal, why can't you kill it?" Zhou Yanru laughed and looked towards Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also laughed: "Knives and guns can't kill, also firearms and cannons. Firearms and cannons can't kill, isn't there any other way? I heard that the martial artist took Tatar hard on the battlefield. His cannon is so powerful that it is hard to kill. But since he is still a human, he still needs to eat and drink, so why can't he kill?"
Xie Sheng was relieved.
So Chen Yan said: "There is already a conclusion at the court meeting here, and Xianyang Conspiracy can't stop the martial artist from going to Liaodong to transfer troops. However, when transferring troops, they must follow the imperial edict. Eat and drink. In this way, from the capital to Liaodong, there are many opportunities."
...
Early next morning, Wang Yisheng personally came and went out of the city with Zhao Yu. And go.
Arriving at the city gate, the Crown Prince arrived early and came to see him in person.
A set of fish scale armor is also presented.
Crown Prince grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and said deeply: "There are bound to be obstacles on the way forward. Brother Zhao, the future of Great Ming, rests on your shoulders!"
How wise is the Crown Prince?
Over the years, the Imperial court shamelessly seeks personal gain. The disadvantages are also well known.
Now he is going to the front, which is not in line with the wishes of some people, and must be blocked by crafty plots and machinations. In particular, dispatching troops to Liaodong is the top priority. Without Liaodong troops and horses, it would be very difficult to exterminate the rogues.
It was only because of Zhao Yu that Zhao Yu was the most suitable and most reassuring.
It is suitable because Zhao Yu's feats in Liaodong will spread his fame widely in Liaodong's military town, which can best convince the military.
Relax, because Zhao Yu is strong, not afraid of guns and guns. Therefore, there is the greatest possible obstacle to breakthrough, and troops and horses are transferred.
If there is no Zhao Yu, Wang Yisheng is the most suitable candidate. But Wang Yisheng is not steel muscles and iron bones. He is not afraid of ordinary swords, but muskets and cannons cannot resist.
In comparison, Zhao Yu and Wang Yisheng are not suitable.
Zhao Yu is also a smart person, why can't you hear what Crown Prince means?
This Great Ming Dynasty has fallen to the point where it is now, the emperor failed to be one of them, and the other is that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have become moths. These worms are Crown Prince's greatest enemy, a natural enemy.
In this way, those worms will not be reconciled if the Crown Prince wants to be in power.
In just an instant, Zhao Yu thought of a lot in his mind. Those assholes must try their best to push the situation to make Crown Prince lose this time, so they come to attack Crown Prince.
But then said with a big smile: "Crown Prince, don't worry. I am not afraid of those who shamelessly seek personal gain, minor arts. Crown Prince wait for me to transfer troops and horses to exterminate thieves. , to help Crown Prince turn things around!"
Crown Prince took a deep look at Zhao Yu, withdrew his expression, nodded, and said no more. Then he turned around and led Zhao Yu to the pavilion not far away.
A team of people is waiting.
Taking a closer look, it was clear that the first few Court Eunuchs were the Bright Gown Guards with fifty or so people.
That group of people saluted the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince introduced: "These father-in-laws will go to Liaodong with you, Brother Zhao, and have passed down the imperial decree to deploy troops."
Meet each other again.
Crown Prince said again: "This is very important, Brother Zhao must ensure the safety of the imperial edict."
Zhao Yu cup one fist in the other hand: "Crown Prince rest assured. That's right. There is an end, no matter how evil monsters he is, as long as he jumps out, he will kill them all!"
finished speaking, and also deliberately glanced at this group of people who preached the message.
Crown Prince nodded and finally instructed: "Brother Zhao's reputation has spread all over the world today. The thief who knows about it will definitely not stand by."
paused: "Little Wang just wait. Good news from Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Yu looked at Crown Prince's wink, glanced at the Court Eunuch, nodded, and said again: "Crown Prince, just don't worry!"
