Chapter 27: Fighting for the country is omnipotent
It was already mid-autumn when Zhou Yanru became the chief minister of the cabinet.
That night, Zhou Yanru was quite worried when he thought of the changes in the government in the past or two days.
First, a mere martial artist was promoted to the position of General General from Caomin within one day, and his appearance was quite favored by the emperor. This is nothing. Although it violates the ancestral system, if you think about it carefully, it is not worth mentioning that only General General General General.
Those who work hard to control others, while those who work hard to control others. A mere warrior is just a knife from the court. What can he do if he is sharp? As the chief assistant of the cabinet, how he wants to manage it is not a question of one sentence?
The key is that the prince supervised his troops to suppress the thieves, which was the root cause of Zhou Yanru's panic.
The prince Zhu Cihao, others don’t know, but Zhou Yanru still doesn’t know? He has been different from ordinary people since childhood, and is extraordinary. Some people who evaluate him compare him with Taizu and Chengzu and regard him as the leader of the revival of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
But the Ming Dynasty's revival was not his revival, nor the revival of the group of people behind him. What they needed was a mediocre, even stupid emperor. If the emperor was too powerful, where would he and others have the opportunity to take power and accept bribes and dominate the world?
Those who are ministers, especially to his level, are less than one person and more than ten thousand people. The only thing they want is to become a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng, which is inherently contrary to the imperial power. Moreover, he dare not disobey the people who support him behind him.
As a result, the existence of the prince made these people afraid. However, the prince lived in simplicity and never made any mistakes. They could not hold on to the handle and could only cover up the prince's wisdom and treat it as a transparent person. This is also the reason why the wiseness of the prince Zhu Cihao was never widely known.
It is just because of the public opinion that is controlled by these people.
But now, the prince has come forward!
This made Zhou Yanru feel like he was in a slight way. Especially the prince has never been close to them, which is the key.
Once this prince, who is not close to them and is very wise, gets power and even ascends to the throne, will they still have a good life?
A martial artist, they don’t care. But a wise prince, the sharpest weapon to be held by the future emperor, is a combination of the two, which is fearful.
Zhou Yanru knew what happened during the day and had a clear eye and had already known it. When he learned that the prince ordered the martial artist to go to Liaodong to dispatch troops, he became even more anxious.
So after thinking about it, I had an idea.
He ordered his servant to take the invitation and go to invite someone.
But before the servant went out, the two came uninvited.
In the study, the lights were dim.
Zhou Yanru, Chen Yan and Xie Sheng, two cabinet ministers, sat opposite each other.
Chen Yan is the Minister of Revenue, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and the second assistant to the cabinet. This is not the key, Chen Yan is the representative of the Donglin Party in the court.
Zhou Yanru was the person who pushed the Donglin Party to the forefront after Wen Tiren stepped down.
In other words, in the cabinet, Chen Yan is actually the real prime minister.
As for Xie Sheng, he was actually a fence-in-law. The Qi Chuzhe Party, or the eunuch Party represented by Wen Tiren, was in power, and when Xie Sheng was in power, he listened to Wen Tiren. Now that the Donglin Party has occupied the cabinet, he listened to the Donglin Party.
As for the other cabinet minister Wei Zhaocheng, who was not here, he was the only remaining representative of the eunuch party, and he had no say in all of them.
Naturally, Zhou Yanru could not have invited Wei Zhaocheng to come too.
In this small study, there were three people present from the four Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
The lights are dim, and it looks like a fucking dog.
Zhou Yanru said in a deep voice: "Originally, the matter of suppressing the thieves was under control. But the prince might as well come out and hold a sharp knife. The prince was not close to us. If the suppression of the thieves was successful and the prince was in control of the power, what would we do?"
Chen Yan nodded slightly and said, "This is why we are here to have a close conversation with Brother Zhou."
He said, "The prince is too wise and too wise, and he is prone to arbitrary behavior, which is very disadvantageous to the world. We are the example of the world and we must eliminate such hidden dangers."
"To praise the emperor..." Xie Sheng stretched out his hand and gestured around his neck, which was particularly gloomy.
Zanhuang is Chen Yan's name.
Chen Yan smiled slightly: "Oh, this is a big deal. The crown prince is the emperor's legitimate son and the crown prince of the Zhu family. How could he be so disrespectful?" He paused and said: "Although the thief is a mob, there are hundreds of thousands of them. Although the crown prince is virtuous, he has no experience. It is natural to lose the battle."
When Zhou Yanru heard this, he couldn't help but think about it for a moment and said, "Although the words of the emperor are reasonable, the martial artist has to be careful. What was the situation in Liaodong in the past is known to you and I know it. But with the power of that man, he defeated the violent Tartars. Although there are many bandits, how can they be as good as the Tartars?"
Xie Sheng couldn't help but nod and said yes.
Chen Yan was unmoved and said with a smile: "The Tartars are Tartars, and the Thorns are Thorns. If the fighting power is about, the Thorns are not as good as the Thorns. But if the war in Liaodong was not planned by Hong Chengchou, what could the war be done by just one martial artist? The war cannot be decided by only one person. Especially the Thorns who travel around the world and run away if they can't beat them, and they are everywhere. What can the Thorns do if they have ten legs?"
"Besides, the food, grass, and military pay are all in our control. Do you think they should listen to the cabinet or the crown prince?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanru and Xie Sheng couldn't help but look at each other and thought to himself that Chen Yan was vicious.
In addition, it is clearly that after the prince sends troops, he starts with food and military pay, and forces him to defeat him. The auxiliary means are to threaten the troops and horses of the Liaodong towns.
Xie Sheng interrupted: "It is best to keep the troops in Liaodong towns still in place. The prince has no soldiers available. He will go back home after leaving the capital. He is about to spread a joke to make the prince's reputation die."
This man was even more vicious and wanted to take this opportunity to knock the prince out of dust.
When Chen Yan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Yi Jin is such a great word!"
So he carefully said, "I heard that the martial artist will go to Liaodong to dispatch troops tomorrow. In this way, we can send someone to take the lead and move the generals of the Liaodong towns to understand the truth, and dare not disobey them in terms of measure."
He also said: "In this way, don't do it again and again. Didn't Ding Qirui, the Ministry of War, suppress the thieves in Henan? But this is like this..."
When the two of you heard this, they were impressed and praised the emperor for his complete plans.
Finally, Zhou Yanru added: "We must be careful of the reputation of the martial artist in Liaodong. Although Hong Chengchou had plans to defeat the Tartars, the role of the martial artist should not be underestimated. The martial artist in the army who is most respectful and powerful in winning must be quite famous in the Liaodong towns. If the Liaodong towns thought that they had taken charge of the troops and horses, and did not obey the cabinet's orders, they would not be good."
Chen Yan pondered when he heard this, then nodded: "Serious. Then Brother Zhou saw, how should we keep in touch?"
"It's better to kill the martial artist." A ruthless look flashed in Zhou Yanru's eyes: "The martial artist is strong and the prince is smart. The two are one. Even if they can stop the prince this time, they may not be able to stop it next time. It would be better to eliminate his roots, which is the perfect solution."
Xie Sheng said: "But the martial artist has never been injured in the army. How can he kill him?"
"As long as you are not a god, why can't you kill me?" Zhou Yanru smiled and looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan also laughed: "There are no knives and guns, and there are firearms and cannons. Is there no other way to kill firearms and cannons? I heard that the warrior took the Tartars' cannons on the battlefield. Its strength is so strong that it is difficult to kill. But since he is still a human being, he still has to eat and drink water, why can't he kill?"
Xie Sheng was relieved.
So Chen Yan said: "As a conclusion was made at this dynasty meeting, the casual plot could not stop the martial artist from going to Liaodong to dispatch troops. However, the military must be followed by the imperial edict. The eunuchs will follow him and accompany him to eat and drink. In this way, from the capital to Liaodong, there are many opportunities."
...
The next morning, Wang Yisheng came in person and rushed out of the city with Zhao Yu.
When I arrived at the city gate, the prince arrived early and came to see him off in person.
A set of fish scale armor was also given.
The prince grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and said deeply: "There must be obstacles to the future. Brother Zhao, the future of the Ming Dynasty will be entrusted to your shoulders!"
How wise is the prince?
Over the years, he has been watching the fuck outside the court and can see clearly. He is also aware of the disadvantages.
Now that he is going to the forefront, it is not in line with the wishes of some people, he must conspire and make conspiracies to impose obstacles. Especially when he goes to Liaodong to dispatch troops, it is the top priority. If there are no Liaodong troops, it is very difficult to eliminate the bandits.
Therefore, he was entrusted to Zhao Yu because only Zhao Yu is the most suitable and reassuring him the most.
It is appropriate because Zhao Yu's feat in Liaodong, his reputation must be widely spread to the Liaodong military town, which can best intimidate the morale of the army.
Don't worry, it's because Zhao Yu is strong and not afraid of swords, guns, artillery, and cannons. Therefore, he has the greatest possibility of breaking through obstacles and transferring troops.
If there was no Zhao Yu, Wang Yisheng would be the most suitable candidate. But Wang Yisheng would not be a steel bar or iron bone. He would not be afraid of ordinary swords, but muskets and cannons could not resist.
In comparison, it is not appropriate to have Zhao Yu and Wang Yisheng.
Zhao Yu is also a smart person, so how can he not hear the prince’s meaning?
The Emperor could not do anything about the Ming Dynasty. The second was that all the civil and military officials of the dynasty had become borers. Such borers were the prince's biggest enemy and natural enemy.
In this way, if the prince wants to take power, those borers will definitely not be willing to do so.
In just a moment, Zhao Yu thought of many things in his mind. Those borers must try their best to promote the situation and make the prince fail this matter, so as to attack the prince.
But he laughed and said, "Don't worry, Prince. Those who are so frivolous, I'm not afraid of it. Prince, please wait for me to transfer troops to eliminate the bandits and help the prince turn the world around!"
The prince looked at Zhao Yu deeply, stopped his expression, nodded, and said no more. Then he turned around and led Zhao Yu to the pavilion not far away.
There is a team of people waiting.
After a closer look, it was clear that there were several eunuchs at the forefront, and there were about fifty people in the Jinyiwei.
The group of people waited for the prince to bow to the prince, and the prince introduced: "These father-in-laws will go to Liaodong with Brother Zhao, and the imperial edict will be passed on."
They greeted each other again.
The prince said again: "This is crucial, Brother Zhao must ensure the safety of the imperial edict."
Zhao Yu clasped his fists seriously: "Don't worry, the prince is here. If you have the last general, let him be a ghost and a god. As long as you jump out, you will kill them!"
After saying that, he also took a special glance at the team of people who were passing the order.
The prince nodded and finally instructed: "Brother Zhao's reputation has spread all over the world today. If the thief knows it, he will definitely not watch it coldly."
He paused: "Xiao Wang is waiting for the good news from Brother Zhao!"
