Chapter 336
Choosing the strategy of pre-empting people, Zhao Bing knew that it would expose the strength of Qiongzhou too early and attract greater revenge from the Yuan army. But under the current situation, he had no choice. Only in this way could he win a short period of peace, so that he could accumulate strength, welcome the enemy's more fierce attack, and defend the base, and even if the court fell in this regard, he would not continue to wander.
"Your Majesty, how do you arrange it here?" Ying Jieyan asked again.
"Since they had a quarrel last time, they had something to hide from me, but now it seems that they have no clear plan to deal with the enemy, and they still fantasize about gaining a foothold in Guangzhou." Zhao Bing said with a wry smile.
"Then the governor's army will not rescue?" Ying Jieyan asked with a frown.
"Wen Songrui was too arrogant and hated Zhang Shijie. He also criticized many of the ministers for their actions, so that no one could show his attention. Now he went to his right prime minister and transferred the title of Duke to the Duke of the Kingdom to clearly refuse him to return to the court. He has become an abandoned son, but I cannot protect him." Zhao Bing sighed and said helplessly.
"Oh, Wen Songrui is loyal to the country and supports the court with all his might, but he didn't expect to end like this." Ying Jieyan sighed, "Can Your Majesty really save him?"
"It's hard to say, I'm powerless. Wen Songrui was too radical and he would blame him if he didn't want to do so. When he received an edict from his return to the court, he wrote to 6 people to express his dissatisfaction, saying: The emperor was young and the prime minister (referring to Chen Yizhong) escaped from the desert. The edicts were all out of the mouths of the princes, so how could he refuse to say anything? Such a temperament... alas!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said, "If he still did not change his nature, even if he returned to the court, he would only cause trouble again, causing endless internal struggles. And our Qiongzhou is far from reach. Whether he can persist depends on his luck."
"Wen Songrui is indeed a man of temperament, generous and open-minded, but loyal and courageous, and has great talent. As Your Majesty said, he likes to distinguish between good and evil, and has repeatedly violated the rules with words. But if Your Majesty gets his arm, he will definitely eliminate the accumulated traits in the court and change the dull and depressed wind." Ying Jieyan saw that Your Majesty was not interested in him, and advised him.
"I understand what sir means, but the war is coming, so it's better to cause less trouble." Zhao Bing knew Ying Jieyan's meaning very well. He wanted to use Wen Tianxiang to enter the country to change the power structure in the court, so that he could win more voice and participation. But a camel suddenly came from the horses and shouted that it was wrong here and there, and you all had to eat and not be hungry for three days like me, so the horses would not be able to kick it together. Wen Tianxiang had weak power in the court. If he wanted to implement his own concept of governing the country, he must use his own strength to succeed. But now he is just a decoration. If he wants to take power and act as a coup, the mess here has not been cleaned up by then, and Zhang Hongfan has arrived, and he can't guess it without thinking.
Zhao Bing also knew that those who are capable are proud, and the result of being proud is that everyone is foolish. Only when he is correct, everyone must listen to me to succeed. He does not reject those who are capable of taking power, but he is worried that he will monopolize power after controlling the court. This is equivalent to killing a powerful minister and cultivating another one in a blink of an eye. With his current understanding of Wen Tianxiang, this possibility is not lacking. Even if he respects the emperor and respects the Tao, he will inevitably look down on his child at that time and insist on showing him aside and continue to be a decoration. At that time, will he have another "coup" or can he only let him do what he does?
Therefore, Zhao Bing felt that it was not the time to let Wen Tianxiang enter the court now, and the timing was not right. He also needed to suffer some setbacks and tempers, learn to tolerate, and understand that the principle that the young emperor was also the emperor. Otherwise, he would not be able to control it after getting a wild horse, so he wanted to wait and see, but he couldn't wait, and there was nothing he could do without waiting. He didn't have to do everything, and everything had to be decided by the empress dowager, but he still felt quite desolate in his heart. A loyal minister who was respected by later generations could not die because of his own selfishness, but Zhao Bing really did not have the ability to protect him for the time being.
"Yeah." Ying Jieyan nodded. He quickly understood His Majesty's difficulties and concerns, but he still felt sad.
"Sir, you can secretly send someone to contact him in my name and tell him that he cannot do anything, so that he can retreat to Qiongzhou to preserve his strength and wait for a comeback." Zhao Bing could understand the depression and pain of a "abandoned son". He said to Ying Jieyan, who was also in a heavy mood.
"Okay. I will tell Your Majesty the difficulties, hoping that he can understand Your Majesty's difficulties." Ying Jieyan thought about it and had no other choice. Qiongzhou is also facing a war and cannot send anyone to reinforce. He can only give him some comfort and hope!
"Okay, tell him that he must keep a useful body and must not do stupid things because of impulse." Zhao Bing reminded him again.
"Oh, now your Majesty is suffering. He is thinking about how to fight the enemy and always guard against his own people's open and secret arrows. But I am powerless and can only watch your Majesty suffer." Ying Jieyan said with a very emotional feeling after hearing this.
"Sir, I am not bad. Everyone in the court knows that I have the support of the government troops behind me, so I dare not act arrogantly. The better you fight against Ali Hague, the greater the results, the better my life will be. No one is afraid that you will come to clear the emperor." Zhao Bing said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will defend Qiongzhou and protect Your Majesty's foundation even if I die." Ying Jie said seriously.
"I have something to worry about with the sir here. But you don't have to go to the court less if you have nothing to do. You will have to give at least a few thousand stones of food once. We are not rich either!" Zhao Bing smacked the teeth and said with a very heartache.
"Haha, everyone is not wrong. You will be heartbroken when you say that Your Majesty will definitely be heartbroken." Ying Jie Yan Fuxi smiled, "But your Majesty is worried. This year, the weather is still good. In more than a month, the autumn grain will be harvested, so you can ensure that at least half a year of military food is worry-free. The strategy of using grain and copper and iron to offset the extraction of food has also been initially established, and it can ensure the use of food on the entire island when the summer harvest is next year."
"Okay, the war is imminent, let the capital and the institute produce all its weapons to ensure supply. This money cannot be saved. If it is not enough, you can tell the General Administration to withdraw it from the inner government account." Zhao Bing said happily.
"Your Majesty seems to have a lot of private money. Can you give me some advice?" Ying Jieyan leaned forward and said.
"Hehe, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If Qiongzhou is not protected, no matter where we escape, it will be enough for our master and apprentice to be a rich man." Zhao Bing whispered in Ying Jieyan's ear.
"Since that's the case, I'm not polite. But Your Majesty should not feel sorry for you and ask me for it later!" Ying Jieyan Gong bowed and thanked him.
"That's not sure. If you don't return it, I will take people to my husband's house for dinner every day. That guy is worth three!" Zhao Bing pointed at Ni Liang and said.
