Chapter 356: There is no vanity under fame
Wu Zheng began to get serious, "There is some truth in what you said, continue to speak." ”
"But no matter how talented the lord is, he is a minister after all, this is a double-edged sword, which can be used and restricted. In my opinion, at this time, the lord's wings are full, but with the great exploits of the Northern Expedition, it will not take much time for the world to shake because of it, and then the talents who will join the lord will be endless, and the lord no longer needs to rely on the fame of the court. ”
Wu Zheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "I understand what you mean, but if I raise another flag, will the talent you just said still come to vote?" Also, now more than half of the generals under my command are Ming generals and ministers, if I raise another flag, will they still follow me? Such a change will completely weaken the current strength, and if the Qing court notices it and gathers a large army to the south, it will be in danger of falling into the nest. ”
Ma Shiying smiled weirdly, "The lord is right, but it's a centimeter away, and it's a thousand miles wrong." ”
"What's the explanation?"
"If the current court is still the Chongzhen Dynasty or the Hongguang Dynasty, if the lord sets up another banner, it will be an anti-minister. But what is it now? This court is just a group of old ministers who have established a royal family, neither the edict of the previous emperor, nor the enthronement of the emperor, not to mention whether it is in line with the law of etiquette and law, but to say that if the lord finds a suitable royal family to support, it is another flag I am talking about. ”
Wu Zheng frowned and said: "What's the difference between that and now, Princess Changping is in charge of the country, which I initiated and supported." ”
Ma Shiying waved his hand again and again: "No, no." I mean, to install another royal family and then to reorganize the court. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned, this matter ...... It seems to be operable.
If you form a court that you can completely control, then you will not have the constraints of the past, but the problem is that if you do this, the existing strength will be weakened by the division into two forces.
"Nope." Wu Zheng shook his head decisively and said, "In this way, two forces have been formed within the Nine Mansions, and as a result, internal friction will be the one who is close to the enemy and the one who is happy." ”
Ma Shiying said: "Won't the lord be able to win over and recruit the appropriate officials among the old ministers?" For example, Mr. Qian, I heard that Mr. Qian is the lord Taishan? ”
Wu Zheng smiled bitterly, "Everyone in this world will vote for me, but he won't." ”
Ma Shiying picked his eyes and looked at Wu Zheng, nodded and said, "I have also heard of Zhiting's loyalty and stubbornness. That Zhang Cangshui, Xiong Rulin, Sun Jiaji and others should be with the main bus, okay? ”
Wu Zheng pondered: "It's possible for these three people, but ...... Hey, their hearts are in the Ming Dynasty. ”
Ma Shiying high-fived and said: "It's good that the heart is in Daming, the old decay is also in Daming, isn't the lord also in Daming?" It's just that this clear word needs to be defined by the meaning of the lord. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly said, yes, when I came to this world, I didn't want to restore Zhu Ming, but to restore Han Ming.
But after these days, I have forgotten my original intention, do you really want to be Zhu Ming's widow?
Wu Zheng instantly figured out that these days, slowly integrating into this era, he was slowly changing because of the inspiration of these heroic martyrs who died generously around him.
is like Zhang Guowei, he is a typical peacemaker, with an indecisive personality, but he guards the bottom line of loyalty in his heart until he sacrifices his life for the country.
is like Qian Sule, stubborn and stubborn, but his loyalty to Daming is beyond reproach.
Just like Zhang Huangyan, he is not a politician, but he is doing everything he can, he is a capable minister who can work hard and is willing to work.
The personality charm of these people kept affecting Wu Zheng's state of mind, slowly and imperceptibly, until he guided Wu Zheng into confusion.
But now Wu Zheng understands that when he came to this world, what he wanted to do was not a foolish and loyal relic.
At the very least, it shouldn't be a small court that is stupidly loyal to this unjustifiable name.
This small court was just a springboard for itself at the beginning, and now, it is regarded as its own ...... Family?!
With this understanding, Wu Zheng suddenly became refreshed, and he patted Ma Shiying on the shoulder and said, "A conversation with you is better than ten years of study." ”
Ma Shiying was delighted to find that Wu Zheng, who had been depressed, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he was very surprised.
"My lord has decided to take my advice?"
Wu Zheng said firmly: "In front of me, there is only one way from beginning to end, and that is to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore sight." On this road, no matter who stands in the way, there is only one word, kill! ”
And at this time, with the sound of hurried horses' hooves, it didn't take long for Song An's voice to appear by the window of Wu Zheng's carriage,
"Something has happened to the young master."
Wu Zheng lifted the curtain and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Song An glanced at Ma Shiying, and Wu Zheng said abruptly: "If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it." ”
Song An said at this time: "Young master, I just reported to the Tianfu garrison, and I should report to Tianfu...... It's messed up. ”
"Messed up?" Wu Zheng was indeed surprised, in his opinion, unless the Qing army attacked again, Ying Tianfu would not be in chaos.
Wang Zhiren received such a great favor from himself, and included Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and Suzhou in his pocket, chaos, this is not in line with normal feelings?
Even if Wang Zhiren surrendered to the enemy, the Qing court would not be able to give such a generous price, what good is chaos?
And Wang Zhiren did not move, and his more than 10,000 garrisons outside Zhengyang Gate were enough to deter some small people in the city.
But Wu Zheng never thought that Chen Zilong and others, who were captured by the Qing army, were not sent to Shuntian Mansion by Hong Chengchou, perhaps in Hong Chengchou's opinion, these people are not qualified to be sent to Shuntian Mansion.
Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition suddenly recovered Yingtianfu, and all the literati were stranded in prison, and Wu Zheng returned south due to his father's illness and lost the opportunity to learn about it.
Xia Wanchun is a student of Chen Zilong, and after Chen Zilong is released from prison, as long as he takes a little care, he will naturally not make a special trip to report this situation to Wu Zheng.
These literati have hard bones, but their tempers are stubborn, and they can't pull back the nine cows that they have identified.
And the rise of Wu Zheng has too many coincidences and cannot be replicated, and there is no background and shade behind him, which has become an opportunity for these literati to regain their positions and show their talents.
This is beyond reproach.
Any change of power is to hit a vested interest or group, absorb the interests of both sides, and begin to grow.
Just like in martial arts, if a newcomer wants to show his head, the fastest and most effective way is to defeat a master who has already become famous.
Wu Zheng, in the eyes of these highly qualified literati, is a famous master with no background.
And Wu Zheng's age, his reckless words and deeds over the past year, and his initiative to support Princess Changping to supervise the country, all became the reason and crime for their attack.
seems to be powerful, but in fact the foundation is shallow, if you don't attack him, who else will you attack?
