Chapter 972: The True Meaning
The carriage drove almost silently in the night, and in the carriage, under the bright lights, Huang Wei looked at Zhu Gaosui beggingly.
"Alright! Then let's talk about it. Zhu Gaosui pondered for a while, took a sip of a glass of Chinese wine and said: "The emperor is an emperor through the ages, with far-reaching thoughts and a clear understanding, and he is very clear about the situation in Shandong." ”
"Yes." Huang Wei nodded and said softly: "Jingnan for four years, the emperor fought in Shandong for two years, after Jingnan, there were many punishments for Shandong, what is the situation in Shandong now, I must know it." ”
"Not bad." Zhu Gaosui bowed his head and said: "At the beginning, for the emperor, Shandong was an enemy and an enemy. But after so many years, the little hatred in the emperor's heart has long since melted. In the eyes of the emperor, there is no difference between Shandong and Shanxi, and Zhejiang and Guangdong, they are all a province of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Shandong are all subjects of Emperor Yongle. Moreover, after the relocation of the capital, Shandong is close to Gyeonggi, if it is still separated from Germany and the people are boiling, how can Beijing be safe? ”
"Not bad. Last year, the prince and Wang Xian handed over the note together, although the emperor did not send it, he read it many times. Huang Wei said softly: "It seems that the hidden danger of Shandong has become a big problem, and it will not be possible to get rid of it." ”
"But the problem in Shandong is that it's hard to return. It is an exaggeration to say that there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the white bones are exposed in the wild, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the people hate the court and regard the emperor as an enemy. Zhu Gaosui took another sip of wine, sighed lightly and said: "Even if the emperor has the ability to reach the sky, he can't save Shandong's illness......" After a pause, he continued: "This is like the last years of the previous dynasties, the demons are dancing wildly, and the society will fall, there is no way to maintain it, only let the world be in chaos, let people vent their anger in their hearts, let the people suffer from the troubled times, and understand the truth of 'rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world', and then people can make up their minds, and everyone can live a good life!" ”
"The Ming Dynasty...... Is it that serious? Although it was the height of summer, after listening to Zhu Gaosui's words, Huang Wei still felt a chill running through his body.
"Of course not," Zhu Gaosui smiled comfortingly: "There is only one province in Shandong, and it is much better elsewhere." For example, Jiangnan and Beijing, aren't they all singing and dancing, and the scene of prosperity? ”
"That's good, that's good," Huang Wei wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said with some understanding: "It turns out that the emperor wants to let Shandong be ruled after chaos, and bury all the old accounts in the past in a war." ”
"Yes." Zhu Gaosui smiled and nodded.
"In that case, then whoever the emperor sends to Shandong is at will, how can Wang Xian be this Qincha? Isn't this sending him to death? Huang Wei didn't understand again.
"Just let him die!" Zhu Gaosui's starry eyes flashed coldly: "This person is too strong, but his heart is completely towards the prince!" Then the stronger he is, the greater the threat to the emperor, how can the emperor tolerate him?! ”
"Isn't the emperor already separating him from the crown prince?" Huang Wei asked puzzledly: "At that time, our family was present, and I saw Wang Xian repeatedly supporting the relocation of the capital, and when he finished speaking, he saw the prince turn out from behind the screen." Wang Xian was dumbfounded at that time, although the prince couldn't say anything in front of the emperor, his face was not good-looking. ”
"That's the two of them acting," Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Judging the relationship between two people is not based on what they say, but on what they do." After a pause, he said: "Wang Xianming knew that he was going to Shandong to be more auspicious, but he left all the bald donkeys left by Yao Guangxiao to him in Beijing, and he didn't bring any of them. Why? Isn't it just to protect the crown prince?! A person values your life more than himself, do you still care what he says?! ”
"No......" Huang Wei shook his head and smiled, saying in his heart that there would be no such person in this life.
"Moreover," Zhu Gaosui paused deliberately, and said in a low voice: "And my aunt's matter, even if it is just rumors, whoever becomes the emperor will never show his eyes!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Wei is also an understanding person, and when he heard this, he clapped his hands and said: "At that time, our family was still strange, why did the emperor let Wang Xian go lightly, it turned out that it was not that he didn't report it, the time has not yet come!" ”
"That's the benefit of being an emperor." Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Anyone who offends the emperor can't run away, sooner or later." After speaking, a haze floated in Zhu Gaosui's heart, and he remembered the hunting incident the year before last, and he played a disgraceful role in it. Although the father said afterwards that he would not pursue it again, who knows if he will still be haunted?
Thinking about what happened to Wang Xian, the answer is simply a certainty......
Huang Wei asked again, but saw that Zhu Gaosui was in a state of distraction, so he had to call softly: "Lord Wang." ”
"Oh, what did you say?" Zhu Gaosui came back to his senses and glanced at Huang Wei.
"Our family said, who annihilated Wang Xian's army of 20,000?" Huang Wei had to repeat it.
"White Lotus Sect." Zhu Gaosui smiled.
"Hehe, you're having fun with our family." Huang Wei squinted and smiled: "That's 20,000 elites, the White Lotus Sect is a group of mud legs, if you can eat them all in one bite, and none of them can escape, then the Buddha Mother can really scatter beans into soldiers and call for wind and rain!" ”
"On the battlefield, anything can happen. Maybe they underestimated the enemy, or maybe they took advantage of the geographical advantage, in short, any result is possible. Zhu Gaosui still smiled and said: "Lao Huang, there are some things that I don't tell you, it's really no good to know......
"Lord, did you say that the emperor knew the inside story here?" Huang Wei didn't care, lowered his voice again, approached King Zhao and asked.
"The emperor doesn't know." Huang Wei is Zhu Gaosui's Austrian aid in the palace, and a question just now can be vaguely passed, and this problem must not be sloppy. Shaking his head, His Royal Highness King Zhao said softly: "The emperor wants to let Shandong be ruled after chaos, but by no means to put 20,000 troops, even with the Marquis of Qincha, it is too hurtful and embarrassing." What the emperor hopes for is controllable chaos, not such a serious chaos......" Zhu Gaosui's voice was lowered, and Huang Wei had to hold his ears hard to hear: "But the emperor is true in this world, but the emperor is not the only one who plays chess, since the emperor started in Shandong, everyone wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, what situation will develop, it is not up to the emperor to have the final say......
Huang Wei heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, and had already understood the meaning of Zhu Gaosui's words, obviously Wang Xian's 20,000 army, the reason why there was no armor left was because someone was secretly making trouble. As for who it is, there is only one in Le'an Prefecture who has such a great ability in the entire Shandong region!
"Then what do you think, what is the next trend in this game of chess in Shandong?" Huang Wei asked softly.
"God knows." Zhu Gaosui smiled self-deprecatingly: "Each family wants to follow their own path." is like my second brother, naturally hoping that the court will not be able to withstand the pressure, let him go out of the mountain, and take command to quell the rebellion. ”
"In that case, His Royal Highness the King of Han will really turn over." Huang Wei said in a speechless voice: "The King of Han is respected as a prince, once he is in command, he can recruit troops and buy horses in the name of righteousness, as long as the White Lotus Sect is not destroyed for a day, the military and political affairs of Shandong Province will be in his hands......"
"As long as it drags on for a long time, even if the White Lotus Sect is destroyed, the military and political affairs of Shandong Province are still in his hands." King Zhao nodded with a smile and said: "My second brother is very calculating, at that time, my father Emperor Tiger will not bite people, and he can only default to becoming a real feudal king who splits the territory and seals the territory!" Just wait...... After Shenlong Bintian, he raised troops from Shandong to Beijing, and he could sit on the dragon chair in less than four years. ”
"Four months is enough." Huang Wei was frightened when he heard this, looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Lord Wang, what is your position, how do we think that if you let the King of Han become, you will not be beneficial?" ”
"When the time comes, I will help him open the city gate, why can't he give me the prince's money?" Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.
"You're not kidding." Huang Wei heard the sound of the palace door opening, and knew that it was not far from getting off the car, so he hurriedly asked, "Is the prince so trusting the old slave?" ”
"Where is Gonggong Huang talking about this," Zhu Gaosui said with a straight face: "You and I are brothers, how can I hide anything from you?" Saying that, he sighed and said: "It's true that everyone has their own lives, and it's difficult to change their lives against the sky!" Seeing that Huang Wei was still a little confused, Zhu Gaosui explained: "Over the years, I have already understood that although my eldest brother is a waste material, he has been occupied by his descendants for decades, and it has long been ingrained, and even my father and emperor can't be shaken!" ”
"Ahh Huang Wei said in disbelief: "The prince is a little exaggerated, right? If the emperor is really forced to be in a hurry, an edict can abolish the prince! ”
"Naive, the cabinet secretary will not be summoned at that time, and the six departments will definitely refute the holy decree! The emperor will not be able to abolish the reserve, but will sweep away his authority, so that the people of the world can see the weakness of the imperial power now! When Zhu Gaosui said this, his expression was a little strange and said: "There is no way, the saint is old and sick, and the prince is in the prime of life, the minister's heart is like water, and the monarch is like the city......"
"So, the prince decided that he would never be able to win the prince?" Feeling King Zhao's frustration, Huang Wei also said with a low expression.
"It's not that you can't win, but the odds are too small." King Zhao smiled and said: "I still know the truth that the son of a daughter can't sit down. Since my second brother is going to fight hard with my eldest brother, how can I not watch from the wall and cheer for my brothers?! In case my second brother wins, my chance will come......" After a pause: "If he loses, this time it will be completely over, and his inheritance will naturally belong to me, Huang Gonggong, have you ever seen such a good deal?" ”
"I see!" Huang Wei sincerely admired: "The prince is far-sighted, and our family firmly believes that you must be the winner in the end!" ”
"I've borrowed your good words!" King Zhao smiled and nodded: "It's almost there, let's get ready to get off." ”
"Lord Wang has one last question." Huang Wei still didn't finish: "You said that Wang Xian, is he dead?" ”
"Probably not dead." King Zhao smiled and said, "This question is of great significance to my two brothers, but for us, it is not worth mentioning......"
Speaking of this, the carriage stopped, and Huang Wei helped King Zhao off the horse.
