In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yan was summoned by Emperor Longwu and granted him a meal together, which was an unprecedented honor.

At this time, the conditions were simple, and there was no imperial kitchen, just some coarse tea and light rice, which was very in line with the emperor's frugal style.

The two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, there was a pot of gruel on the table, a few drops of pickles, Wang Yan basically did not move, just ate a few small bites, and when he saw the emperor stop, he also hurriedly put down the porridge bowl.

It's not that the food in the court is unappetizing, in fact, the emperor takes the lead, and the ministers of the Longwu Dynasty generally live a relatively bitter life, and Wang Yan usually eats these.

It is a privilege to dine with the emperor, but the minister cannot really come to eat, this is etiquette, and the butt can only sit halfway to show the minister's festival.

At this time, Long Wu saw that Wang Yan also put down the porridge bowl, and said sadly: "I heard that Yuan Zhang's body was buried in the shirt pass by Aiqing, I want to go over and have a look~"

Wang Yan's heart moved, "If Yuan Zhang knows His Majesty's heart, under the Nine Springs, he will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's kindness." The minister will ask people to prepare, and when His Majesty is better, he will invite His Majesty to go. ”

Long Wu nodded, "From Fujing to Shiguan, if Yuan Zhang hadn't fled all the way with me on his back, I'm afraid I would have died in Tingzhou a long time ago, and I wouldn't have been able to wait for Aiqing to save me." I have already decided to posthumously seal Yuanzhang as the protector of the country, and call him a martyr, what does Aiqing think? ”

"Loyalty" is the highest name of the general, "loyalty" is the name of the top three generals, the Ming Dynasty more than 270 years, can get this nickname of only a handful, which shows that Emperor Longwu has a fancy for Wang Wei.

Wang Yan immediately got up and saluted: "The minister replaces Yuan Zhang, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, come and sit down and say." Long Wu smiled slightly, and after Wang Yan sat down, he said again: "Yuan Zhang is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and his wife in Fujing also died in the Tingzhou rebellion, I can't let him have no heirs, Aiqing will have many sons in the future, you can choose a son, and inherit the title of Yuan Zhang~"

When Wang Yan heard this, he was shocked, although his son was not yet seen, but for the Wang family, it was indeed a huge favor, and Wang Yan had to salute again.

From beginning to end, Wang Yan adhered to the courtier's festival, and Emperor Longwu was very satisfied, but then he suddenly said: "This time, Aiqing has the merit of saving the driver, and cooperated with He Qing to collect the Chu land, and has a great merit to the Ming Dynasty, I will also reward him greatly, and crown Aiqing as the governor of the five provinces, worship Dongge University, how about it?" ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he understood Longwu's intentions a little in his heart, and he himself knew very well that his merits were too great for the emperor to be rewarded, so he let him succeed a son to inherit Wang Wei's title in the future, and then deliberately said that the Huguang Battle presided over by him was that he cooperated with He Tengjiao, and his status changed from master to subordinate, and he took away most of the credit at once.

Wang Yan knew that the emperor asked him to succeed a son and inherit the title, which was compensation, and he couldn't help but know each other, so he hurriedly saluted and refused: "Your Majesty, please also take back the order, the minister has abandoned the civil and military affairs, this dynasty has no military generals to enter the cabinet, Your Majesty can not make an exception for the minister, in addition, the matter of the governor of the five provinces, the responsibility is too great, and the minister may not be competent." ”

Long Wu paid attention to Wang Yan's expression, not like Zheng Zhilong, who was flying and domineering, and walked away with his sleeves if he was slightly unsatisfied, but looked respectful and very satisfied.

In fact, the emperor knew very well in his heart that with Wang Yan's wisdom, he could naturally know that he intended to suppress, but fortunately, Wang Yan was born as a literati and knew the major events of advance and retreat.

At this time, Longwu hurriedly helped Wang Yan up, holding his hand to make a close attitude, he hinted at Wang Yan, and promised to be a big official again, just to see Wang Yan's attitude, now Wang Yan refused, he couldn't help but appreciate, so he sighed: "Aiqing is really the minister of my shares, Aiqing is a person from a person's background, it is a civil and military unification, there is nothing wrong with worshiping Dongge University Scholar, I am transferring Ding Aiqing into the court, adding Aiqing to the governor of Guangzhou, and the title of secretary of the military department, to run Guangnan for me and recover the land of Fujian!" ”

This time Wang Yan did not refuse, there are more than 20 scholars in the Longwu Dynasty, in fact, they are only titles, and the military department is also a title, the grade of the university scholars is not high, all the officials who enter the cabinet will add the title of the minister, Wang Yanzhen got the benefit of the position of the governor of Liangguang.

This is really nothing compared to Wang Yan's military exploits, and he immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you Your Majesty Longen~"

Long Wu nodded with satisfaction, but he was really a little unhappy, so he said: "The people under Aiqing, the merits can be played, and I will reward them." ”

Wang Yan hurriedly responded, Emperor Longwu's heart quickly settled down, what he admired most was Song Taizu, who used Confucian educated ministers to command the army, and was much more reliable than military generals.

Since the Song Dynasty, there has been basically no rebellion of military generals, although the command of the army will inevitably limit the combat power of the army, but for the king, his own throne is always the first existence, between the security of the emperor and the combat power of the army, the emperor will choose the security of the throne.

Wang Yan's performance made Longwu very satisfied, he finished sealing Wang Yan, and then he was going to seal He Tengjiao, the way of checks and balances is the key to stabilizing the throne, Longwu can't tolerate Wang Yan's family dominance.

At this time, the palace people removed the breakfast that had been cold, and the emperor moved to talk with Wang Yan.

"Aiqing, do you have any views on the current situation?" The place where the emperor temporarily lived was the mansion of a great gentry, with a small garden inside, and after Longwu had eaten the morning food, he liked to walk around, and he asked as he walked.

Wang Yan followed behind him, thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, although my Ming Dynasty has lost Fujian at the moment, it is not as good as in the Hongguang period, it will collapse at the first touch, and there is no power to fight back. The minister thought that the fight against the Manchu Qing should be divided into three stages. ”

"Oh?" Long Wu stopped and said, "Aiqing try to say it." Wang Yan sorted it out in his heart, "First, restore the southern capital and divide the river to govern." Since ancient times, if you want to defend the land of the river, you must get Sichuan, Shu, Jingchu, and Jianghuai. Now Zhang Xianzhong is in Sichuan and Shu, Your Majesty can form a barrier, then the Qing soldiers can't make a detour to attack me in Shu, and the land of Jingchu thinks that I have, as long as Your Majesty can recover Nanjing, then half of the wall can be determined! ”

Longwu escaped from Fujing, the entire Longwu court was basically paralyzed, the blow to Longwu was actually very big, he thought that after the change of hands in Fujian, the situation had deteriorated even more than when he ascended the throne, and listened to Wang Yan's words, but felt a little surprised, how it seemed that the situation had improved greatly.

Long Wu couldn't help asking: "Is Nanjing so easy to fight?" ”

Wang Yan explained: "Back to Your Majesty, the land of Jingchu extends in all directions, and the belly of the world is also!" Now the land of Chu and Jiangxi is in hand, and my Ming army, occupying the upper reaches, has a very important geographical advantage. Jiangnan Qing soldiers have actually been in the Chu and Jiangxi troops and Zhoushan Lu Wang's division in the middle of the attack, the Qing soldiers are not good at water warfare, as long as our dynasty can be on the Yangtze River, train an absolutely powerful naval division, when the time comes, the big ship locks the river, then Nanjing is easy to get! ”

After listening to this, Long Wu's eyes lit up, and he nodded a little excitedly: "Aiqing's words have swept away the gloom in my heart, let's talk about the other two stages~"

Wang Yan then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the last two stages, it is inconvenient to talk about it at this time, and it is still necessary to make changes according to the specific situation." The minister can only say that it is about recuperation, changing the law to become strong, and laying out the two Huai, and recovering the northern capital. ”

The two monarchs and ministers were talking about each other, but the people of the first palace suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the old man of Zuo Ge is here~"

(Thank you for the death of the battle, the reward of the true ancestor, and thank the lovely head of state for the big 399 reward)
