Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1088

"I thought Wang Tong was that sincere young man! But I didn't expect that after so many years, he would become an official?"

Emperor Wanli said leisurely, the eunuchs beside him all lowered their heads, and Wang Xijue also bowed to pay tribute, but did not speak.

"Your Majesty is no longer a sincere boy!"

There is really no way to answer these words. Wang Tong is now the Duke of the state. How can he not be an official? What is the reason for going straight down to Songjiang, but it is enough to know these words in your heart, but you don't know how to do them when you say them.

"Who does Wang Aiqing think can be handsome?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xijue stood up respectfully, bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, this is a national war, and it should be judged by His Majesty. I dare not speak falsely."

The expression on Emperor Wanli's face was like a smile but not a smile, and he said again:

"Since Mr. Wang Ge is the Chief Assistant and is in charge of the government affairs of the world, there is nothing to say or not. I am also uncertain about this matter. Mr. Ge has some opinions, and he is also a counselor."

Ever since the emperor was in the martial arts school, he was supported by Wang Tong to defeat political opponents. Now that the capital is in control and the world is under dictatorship, he has become more forceful and casual in his words and actions. He doesn't pay attention to proper manners, but you can't do not listen.

Wang Xijue coughed dryly and dared not sit down, so he replied there:
"Your Majesty, the reason why it is difficult to choose the commander of the army entering the court is because of the dangers involved. I wonder if what I said is right?"

"Dangerous? Naturally, there are dangers, military affairs are dangerous, and victory or defeat is impermanent!"

"What Your Majesty said is one aspect, but with such a large army of Japanese pirates and they are fighting in North Korea, Ming Dynasty should do its best to send at least half or even most of the world's elite soldiers into the court. If there is something wrong with thinking, then the capital and His Majesty are in danger, Your Majesty, I don't know if this is the truth of what I said?"

Emperor Wanli put a smile on his face, tapped a memorial on the table with his fingers, and said calmly:

"Government by civil servants, internal officials to supervise the army, such restrictions, how can there be any wrong thoughts, Wang Ge is too worried!"

Wang Xijue looked up at Emperor Wanli who was sitting there, and couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. From Zhang Juzheng to the present, the position of chief assistant has become more and more difficult to do. The authority of the Son of Heaven is also the authority of the cabinet. To maintain this side is to protect oneself.

"Your Majesty, if you want to say a crime, since the Duke of Liao led the army to fight, everyone in the world now knows that it is not necessarily a good thing to be ruled by civil servants and internal officials to supervise the army. If the management is strict, the generals will be restricted in everything, and they will not be able to fight. Good fighting, not strict control, so what's the use of this rule, and I have personally been in the army these years, and I understand the reason. The officers and soldiers in the army all listen to the commander. What's the use of it when it's unspeakable?"

Emperor Wanli's voice was a bit cold, but there was a smile on his face, and he said there:
"Then who does Ai Qing think is handsome?"

The more Wang Xijue spoke, the more serious he became. From sitting to standing up, when he said this, he knelt down solemnly and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, what I said before, His Majesty agrees, so I will boldly say that Wang Tong is the commander in chief, and he is the most loyal."

Emperor Wanli remained silent. The only person who could consult in the imperial study was Wang Xijue. Zou Yi's position was obviously biased, and Zhao Jinliang was even more so. Emperor Wanli turned his head to Tian Yi and said:
"Tian Yi, who do you think is suitable?"

"Long live lord, the elders of the pavilion are so cautious about such matters, how dare the slaves speak nonsense, but the slaves feel that the Duke of Liao is now the ultimate minister, and there is no reward for him, and Li Zongbing is still there. Upward and diligent, and Liao Guogong drilled the forbidden army and several town generals of the forbidden army are like brothers, this."

Emperor Wanli gave him a cold look, and Tian Yi immediately lowered his head. Emperor Wanli glanced over Zou Yi's face, but finally fell on Zhao Jinliang's side, and asked:
"Xiao Liang, what do you think?"

Zhao Jinliang was called "Xiao Liang" in the palace, but there were only four or five people who could call him that. Some eunuchs would call him "Eunuch Zhao" politely when they met each other. A young man in his early twenties, upon hearing Emperor Wanli's question, Zhao Jinliang stepped forward and said loudly:
"Long live lord, this servant feels that everything that Long live lord and the adults are saying now is based on the certainty of victory. Long live lord also said just now that military affairs are impermanent and victory or defeat is inconclusive. This servant thinks that now we should think about it." What matters is who can ensure that there will be no mistakes in the big victory, not how to deal with it after the big victory."

Hearing this, the imperial study room was very quiet. Tian Yi had a wry smile on his face. Emperor Wanli was also there in a daze. After a while, he patted his forehead, laughed, and said:
"Xiao Liang is right, this is out of a public heart!"

Tian Yi's wry smile, everyone naturally just didn't see it. Zhao Jinliang's words were both public and selfish, but Tian Yi's words were a little bit off.

If you put it on someone else, offending the eunuch, the head of the inner court, so rashly offending the eunuch, the head of the inner court, I am afraid there will be a big disaster in the future, but it does not matter if you put it on Zhao Jinliang. Zhao Jinliang is the current companion of Emperor Wanli, and is the Qianqing Palace He spent more time with Emperor Wanli than Tian Yi and Zou Yi.

Nowadays, there is an analysis in private in the palace, saying that the palace is divided into three forces, Tian Yi is on one side, Zou Yi is on the other side, and Zhao Jinliang is also on the other side regardless of his young age and seniority.

What he said really hit the point. What we have to do now is not to reward or worry about the balance of power, but to win or lose. Everything can only be talked about after victory, otherwise it is nothing, everything It's all empty.

Emperor Wanli turned his head to look at Wang Xijue, said with a smile:

"Old Wang Ge continued, don't worry about what Xiao Liang said."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Eunuch Zhao said is also a good idea. Now that the words have come to this point, I will let go of the words. If Li Rusong is the commander, there is no need to say anything about the defeat. After the victory, how will Your Majesty treat the Li family? In [-], the Li family in Liao Town was split up and Liao Town was set up as a province. This is a blessing for Jiangshan Sheji. Liao Town, Xuan Mansion is in Ji Town, and the situation in Liao Town in other places has happened a few years ago, would His Majesty want to see it?"

"Am I not that confused?"

"Your Majesty is holy, naturally he will not make such a holy order, but he holds the army in Liao Town, and the Japanese army is still so far away. He is next to him in Liao Town. Will His Majesty agree or not at that time?" ?”

These words of Wang Xijue still had nothing to do with victory or defeat, they were all about the situation after the victory. Emperor Wanli did not correct his mistake, and the two continued to ask and answer like this.

"That's why you want Wang Tong to be the commander-in-chief?"

Emperor Wanli was silent for a while before he asked this question. Wang Xijue kowtowed on the ground, straightened up and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, Wang Tong's illustrious military exploits are well known throughout the world. To mobilize elites from various towns to enter the court, it is inevitable to use the various regiments of the Tiger's Might Army. Who is more suitable to be in command?"

Emperor Wanli was silent again, and when he spoke again, his voice was much lower, and he said in a deep voice:

"What you said about Li Rusong just now, how do you know it won't be true for Wang Tong?"

Wang Xijue's expression became solemn, but he sighed in his heart, "Ruthless is the emperor's family", and said in a solemn voice:
"Your Majesty, if it comes to this point, the minister is risking his life and lying, and if he really wants to do such a thing, the Eastern Expedition to build the state is the best time for Wang Tong. If Wang Tong didn't do it, he didn't even want to embarrass the court, so he went south quietly. , with such an act of consideration for the overall situation, I think that Wang Tong is the most loyal person, and he can also make people feel at ease."

Talking about a thousand words and ten thousand is not as good as an example. Wang Tong quietly went to Songjiang to live in seclusion after the victory of the Eastern Expedition to Jianzhou. On the surface, he acted recklessly and did not give the court face, but in fact it made everyone in the world relax. Tone, only Wang Tong has done such an act, but no one else has seen it.

Having said that, Li Rusong has never done this before, and it does not mean that he would not do it when he encountered such a thing, but who would dare to bet on such an important matter.

Emperor Wanli finally nodded slowly, but it was a problem to speak, and it seemed to divert the conversation:
"What Tian Yi said just now is also an important truth. I can't let Wang Tong down. I really want him to make great achievements that will never be seen in the world. He is now the Duke of the country. How should I reward? I'm watching!"

Wang Xijue kowtowed again, and said sonorously:
"Your Majesty, if Wang Tongzhen has made such great achievements, so what if he can be crowned a prince? His Majesty will keep him in the capital, just like before, and let him be the commander of the Jinyiwei Capital."

"Conferring the king! Absurd! This is really nothing"

To Wang Xijue's words, Emperor Wanli's first reaction was to be furious, but then he figured it out, and said in a deep voice:

"Stay by your side and do Jinyiwei's errand, it's the same as before, it's just that the name is different."

Emperor Wanli pondered there for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, he still didn't make a decision, he just said:

"Wang Ge is getting old, and today is also a hard day. When I leave the palace, I will arrange a soft sedan chair to see you off. Come here first, let's go!"

Wang Xijue quickly thanked him, while Zhao Jinliang led Wang Xijue out of the door of the imperial study. Tian Yi called people over and lit the lights, and then came back and asked:
"The empress asks, where is the Lord Long Live eating tonight?"

Emperor Wanli was flipping through the memorial absently, hesitated for a while, raised his head and said:

"It's been a long time since I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, I'm going to say hello to my mother tonight, let's have dinner there!"
