In the face of impeachment, Kuang Ye took a counterattack. He didn't choose to explain anything, nor did he mean to invite credit for himself, but simply picked on, Lao Tzu quit, don't serve the head office.

Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the golden dragon chair, had been watching all this silently.

After experiencing the civil changes, Zhu Qizhen's mind has matured a lot, at least he can still see the things in front of him. That is, everyone thinks that Kuang Ye's performance has been too much and his power is too heavy for a while, and he is going to join forces to attack him.

The courtiers under his command are divided into gangs, which emperor would not know this? But most of the time it passed with a blind eye. After all, only when there is a battle will it appear that the emperor is important, and he can better find a balance in his favor.

In fact, for a while, not only the ministers, but also Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor, also received a lot of secret reports from Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Most of what is said is who this military department secretary has seen, who he has won, and who he has recommended.

Because the war is imminent, sometimes things are in a hurry, and it is often Kuang Ye who does things first, and then he will explain the reason to him, the emperor, in a fold.

There is naturally nothing wrong with such a thing in a state of emergency. But once the world is peaceful, if someone wants to pursue such a thing, it will be a good one. is as the emperor Zhu Qizhen, and he also has a grudge for Kuang Ye's affairs for not reporting, and sometimes he wonders if this old Shangshu still has the existence of himself as the emperor in his eyes, and such a courtier should also be beaten well.

Even the emperor thinks like this, so it's no wonder that under everyone's accusations, Kuang Ye can only choose to go to Zhishi.

I thought about beating Kuang Ye and the courtiers, plus the Guangdong Rebellion had been resolved, and the pressure on the military department at this time had been reduced a lot. After Zhu Qizhen weighed it in his heart, he opened his golden mouth and said: "Even if Kuang Aiqing's health is not good, then I will rest in Kyoto for a while." I will arrange for the Imperial Doctor to go to the palace to recuperate for Aiqing, and as for the affairs of the Ministry of War... For the time being, let the left waiter Wang Ji handle it on his behalf. ”

Zhu Qizhen actually agreed, and there was no so-called three pushes and five resignations. This kind of performance fell in the eyes of other ministers, some were happy, some were excited, and some felt lost.

But no matter what you think, even if Chrysostom opens, it is impossible for Kuang Ye to continue to stay in the military department and take power, the only thing to do is to kneel on the ground and thank you.

Also standing up and kneeling to thank him is Wang Ji, one of Kuang Ye's deputies, but in fact, the ideas and concepts of the two have always been inconsistent, that is, during the Southern Rebellion, what this Zuo Shilang did was always wait-and-see, and even sometimes made some small means to add to the blockage of this old Shangshu, and secretly made a mess.

In this way, people who are not successful enough and have more than enough failures often have another characteristic, that is, they can unite people and grasp the weaknesses of human nature, and it is precisely because of this skill that they are often tumblers in officialdom, and they often take care of the interests and feelings of others when doing things, which will also make him very popular. That's why I've been sitting firmly in the position of the left squire under Kuang Ye. Now, when I have the opportunity, the bento really soars.

Kuang Ye was recuperating from illness, Wang Ji was out of power, and the controversy above the court was announced to a paragraph. Kuang Ye, who was silent, went down to the court in advance, leaving the other courtiers to discuss the next way.

When Wang Ji took office, he naturally had to show something. He fell to his knees, and in a few words, he found a solution to the matter in front of him.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the foolish ministers, the affairs of Yunnan can be solved by vertical and horizontal techniques." Wang Ji, who had already gotten up, said with a confident expression.

"What is the art of vertical and horizontal?" Zhu Qizhen sat high on the top and asked with an interested look.

"In the opinion of the minister, you can first appease and reward both. Pacify a place of cross-toe. We can send envoys to contact them, recognize their status as sovereign states, and practice the law of marriage to calm their hearts. At that time, as long as the Jiaozhi troops withdrew, the natural strength of King Minzhuang and others fell sharply, and they could be defeated in a battle. ”

"Reward is the way to pay equal attention, you can go to the Xiping Marquis Mansion, allow him to be the king of Mu, pacify the rebellion in Yunnan, and guard the land of Yunnan for the Southern Ming Dynasty forever. With this kindness, there is no worry that they will not do their best. As for Yang Wenbo, the leader of the Miao people, we can also crown him as the king of Miao, hereditary replacement, so that they will always be loyal to the Nanming and the emperor. ”

"The last loyal uncle, you can send someone to order them to disband the army, if not, you can order the nearby city not to provide them with food, and at the same time ask the loyal and brave uncle to come to Beijing to receive the reward, the army has no head, and the soldiers have no food, so that the army's spirit will naturally be weakened, and it can be destroyed without attacking."

There are not many words, but as soon as Wang Ji's words came out, they had already caused everyone in the court to be frightened and change color.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it has been following the policy of not discording with relatives and not paying tribute to the Son of Heaven to guard the country's death, except for the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there is no matter of the king with a different surname, but now Wang Ji's words have completely overturned everything. All kinds of things that I didn't dare to think about before, but now I read them out in this person's mouth, how can the ministers not change their faces.

Not only the courtiers, but also Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong who is sitting high on the top at this moment, has changed his face greatly.

This is equivalent to changing the family law of the ancestors, and he is naturally clear about the powerful relationship. "Wang Ji, who gave you such the courage to dare to say such a thing? Are you convicted? Zhu Qizhen, who had a cold face and anger in his voice, asked loudly.

"The minister is terrified." Wang Ji saw that Zhu Qizhen was really angry, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, but his face did not change much, but continued: "Your Majesty, those who achieve great things are not informal. Wang Goujian tried to defeat Wu Wangfucha and became a great power in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Since ancient times, it has been the result of watching things, and few people will pay attention to the process. Your Majesty, the affairs in Yunnan are getting bigger and bigger, and if we don't stop it, I'm afraid it will hurt the cornerstone of my Nanming country. ”

A picture of loyalty against the ear, Wang Ji shouted loudly, as if everything he did was out of public intentions, if he did not allow it, it would be the emperor who was stupid and incompetent.

Fearless of the emperor's might, Wang Ji still went his own way, but made the courtiers begin to sigh at this person's loyalty. Daming and Song also have a rule of not killing scholars and doctors, and the so-called punishment of doctors is what it means.

Wang Ji's "loyalty to the top" happened under everyone's noses, and now Zhu Qizhen is furious, and he can't give any severe punishment in public. In a fit of rage, he had no choice but to say loudly: "I'm tired! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qizhen turned around and left, and Cao Jixiang, who was standing on the side, shouted loudly "retreat from the court" to announce the dispersal of today's court meeting.

The court meeting was dispersed, but the ministers were still talking about each other when they left the palace, so it can be seen that Wang Ji's words today are also quite shocking to these people.

Not getting along, not paying tribute is very majestic. But as an official, he was not able to get any practical benefits, which was just the emperor's glory. And if you can sacrifice this glory in exchange for peace in the world, it must be what many people want. After all, in front of the family and the country, there are still very few people who can really put the country in front, otherwise, there would not be so many traitors in history.

There have always been no secrets? Kuang Ye, who had just returned home, only sat down and drank a pot of tea, and then got Wang Ji's remarks in the court. Hearing this, he was furious, regardless of the opposition of his family, he was about to enter the palace to face the saint, but after the housekeeper who went to inquire about the news came back and just said a word, Kuang Ye threw himself back on the chair, looked at the front with blank eyes, and said nothing.

"Master, the new news, Wang Ji went to the backyard of the palace, saying that the emperor was going to summon him."

Just one piece of news proves a lot of things. Although Wang Ji's words are very rebellious, the emperor not only did not punish him, but also taught him privately, which can explain many things, and the emperor is not completely opposed to this matter.

"Your Majesty, you are going to ignore the laws of your ancestors!" Kuang Ye, who was relieved, suddenly roared to the sky, and then the whole person felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was really fainted by the breath.

......

In the palace.

Zhu Qizhen met with Wang Ji alone.

When there were only three people in the side hall, Zhu Qizhen, Wang Ji and Cao Jixiang. Yingzong suddenly roared with an angry expression: "Are you in my army? How much benefit do they really give you? ”

When Zhu Qizhen said these words, there was a desire to kill Wang Ji in his eyes. This person actually said in front of all the civil and military officials in the court that he wanted to be crowned king and marry, without the slightest sign in advance, this is his own army. Just imagine, I'm afraid that this news should spread soon, if he doesn't allow it, what will Xipinghou think? What would Cochin think? What would Yang Wenbo think? I'm afraid that they can only push them into the arms of the Minzhuang King family without hesitation.

If that's the case, with Nanming's strength now, there is really no chance of winning against these three forces. Even if he wins this victory with the strength of the whole country, I am afraid that he will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself. If at that time, Beiming suddenly attacked him, what would he use to resist?

In the final analysis, it was all because of Yang Chendong that he changed the outcome of the civil engineering change, so that the originally powerful Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south.

Compared with quelling the Yunnan Rebellion, or even defeating Jiaozhi and pacifying the rebellion, what Zhu Qizhen wanted to do more was to return to the northern capital and reunify the Ming Dynasty, which was the great achievement he needed. It is precisely because of this that he will not do his best to quell the rebellion in Yunnan, and Wang Ji, who took a fancy to this, stood up and put forward such an idea.
