Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 492 Bullying honest people

Wang Yan followed behind King Yu, wearing a scarlet official robe patched with unicorns, a gold and jade belt wrapped around his waist, a net scarf on top, and his hair tied up. He wore it low at the front and high at the back, with long oval wings protruding from the left and right sides. Usha official hat.

If it was the time of the Great Dynasty, he would still hold the wat board in his hand and come down in all his clothes. Although he was young, he was full of official authority and majesty.

At this moment, King Yu led Wang Yan into the palace. After walking for a while, he stopped, cupped his hands and said, "Young Wang will be sent here, and then you will enter the inner palace. You can go in with the servants to meet the saint."

"Master Wang, please." An ingenious servant hastily stepped forward and bowed to beg.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Yan cupped his hands, said something casually, and then followed the servant to the palace.

Wang Yan had just arrived in Guangjing, and originally wanted to know what happened when he was not in Guangjing, but the emperor knew that he was coming back, so he greeted him immediately, obviously the matter was a little urgent.

In the palace, Wang Yan did not go in less. Except for some repairs in various places and planting some flowers and plants in the yard, there was no change. The scale was not as good as the rich mansions in Guangjing.

This shows that the emperor is very ambitious and does not want to stay in Guangjing forever. The imperial court must move back to the old capital to restore the foundation of the ancestors.

The scale of the palace is small, there are only a few halls in total, usually the emperor summons the ministers, most of them are in the Qinzheng Hall, and this time is no exception.

By the time he reached the gate of the palace, Wang Yan had already combined the current situation in his mind, sorted out the news he got from Wang Jiezhi, and roughly guessed the content of the emperor's call today and the antiphonal performance in front of the emperor.

When he arrived outside the hall, Wang Yan stopped and waited. After the servants went in to communicate, he entered the hall. There were already several officials standing inside. Wang Yan scanned for a week, and there were several university scholars, and there was also a black official The middle-aged man in the robe should be Zhang Xianzhong's emissary.

The virtue of water is black, but it is the virtue of fire. Li Zicheng is uneducated to say that he is a virtue of water, but he still favors blue. Zhang Xianzhong is not wrong about this.

"Several pavilion elders, I haven't seen you for a long time~" Wang Yan didn't hold back. After entering, he smiled and bowed to everyone, and then stood between Zuo Maodi and Su Guansheng.

"Shi Heng has worked so hard to come back, and this time the Eastern Expedition has won a great victory. Congratulations." Zuo Maodi put his hands in his sleeves, turned his head, his eyes were full of approval.

"Mr. Ge, I'm overwhelmed by the award. It's all about being loyal to your duty." Wang Yan said flatly as if he had done a very ordinary thing.

Zuo Maodi smiled and nodded.

Wang Yan understood what he meant, Zuo Maodi probably wanted to say that he knew the general situation, and he didn't return with the army this time, one because he wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and the other was because he didn't want to put pressure on the emperor.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the one thing that the monarch feared most was not the invasion of the enemy country, but the fear that the generals would return to the court after victory. The founding kings of Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen were all generals who commanded the army in the previous dynasty.

Wang Yan returned to Beijing alone, keeping a low profile. In Zuo Maodi's view, this behavior was undoubtedly well done, and the other bachelors must have done the same.

At this moment, Wang Yan glanced at Su Guansheng, and remembered about the warehouse of the Wuzhong Army. If the court wanted to take it for nothing, he would definitely not agree.

On the way here, Wang Yan had already thought about it in his mind. Sichuan and Shu had to be saved, but the court really had no money. In the end, he might have to solve it by himself. Using the warehouse of the Five Loyalist Army was indeed the only option, but the court did not It must be exchanged for benefits.

Wang Yan has not yet figured out how to handle this matter, but since it involves the exchange of interests, it cannot be discussed on the bright side, otherwise the two sides will compromise with each other, and the chances of reaching an agreement in the end will be much smaller, so this matter can only be discussed first. Talk privately.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan immediately turned his head, and just wanted to say something to Su Guansheng. After the face-to-face meeting, the two made an appointment to talk, but before he could speak, the servant shouted, "Your Majesty is here."

At this time, all the ministers hurriedly saluted and waited, paid homage and shouted long live.

Emperor Longwu entered the palace, sat high on the throne, stretched out his hands and said, "All lovers, please be flat."

Long Wu's complexion was not good, and he looked a little tired. After everyone got up, he straightened his body, tried his best to maintain the majesty of the emperor, then scanned the audience, looked at Wang Yan, and said: "Today, all the gentlemen are summoned. Come, just for one thing, it happened that Wang Qing won the victory and returned to the court, so I called for a discussion and decided on the matter of Sichuan and Shu. Now the captives invaded the land of Shu, and the western army asked for help. The world is strong and we are weak. At the time of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the country is in crisis. Although the Western Army has enmity with Daming, they are of the same language and race as me, of the same family, and we are closely related. Together with the Western Army to fight against the violent Qing Dynasty. Envoys can come forward and tell Wang Qing about the Sichuan and Shu affairs first."

Wang Zhixian, Zhang Xianzhong's Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, heard the words and hurried out to state the situation.

Now Zhang Xianzhong is in a weak position. Although he is known as the emperor, he obviously has basically lost his gold content. Wang Zhixian is also very clear, and he dare not make too much of a big deal. Anyway, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know, so he basically came to serve the Lord Longwu as a foreign country.

Wang Yan originally planned to meet the Daxi envoy at night, but now he met him in the hall and listened to it again. Basically, what he said was already understood before, but the details were richer, so he didn’t have to tonight goodbye.

After Wang Zhixian finished speaking, he saluted and retreated to the side. Emperor Longwu then asked Wang Yandao: "The land of Sichuan and Shu has a great relationship. If the captives occupy the upper reaches, it will be difficult to defend the Chu land. After discussing with several cabinet ministers, I decided to send troops. Reinforcement, I wonder what Wang Qing thinks after hearing this?"

Sichuan must not fall into the hands of Man Qing, Wang Yan knew this well, and the emperor had already made a decision, so he immediately saluted and said: "I have no objection, and I agree to rescue Sichuan and Sichuan, but I still need to think about the specific matters, and think about it for a few days. Come back to answer your Majesty."

Wang Yan knew that the emperor and the elders wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible, and then discussed the money and food needed to send troops, but the court did not have money and food, and the last topic would definitely be the warehouse of the Five Loyalty Army, and this is Wang Yan He didn't want to see it, so he answered like this, wanting to stop the topic, delaying it first, and discuss it with Su Guansheng and others in the evening, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the monarch and his ministers.

"Since the Duke also agrees to save Shu, there is nothing to think about. Several colleagues have already discussed this matter many times, and they all decided to save Shu. The Duke's meaning is exactly the same as ours, so there is only one right now. The question is, the imperial court has no money and food, so what can we do to save Shu?" After Wang Yan finished speaking, Gu Yuanjing, a senior scholar, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that next, we should discuss the issue of money and food."

Wang Yan's face darkened when he heard this, it seems that the cabinet ministers have already reached an agreement with His Majesty on this matter, they have already set up a stage, and they just wait for him to come.

"Your Majesty agrees with the Duke of Chu's statement that Sichuan and Shu are the places that must be saved, and the court must support them." Su Guansheng also came out and said: "Although the household department in charge of the minister has no surplus money, the accounts of the five loyal armies under the Duke of Chu In fact, the money and food are still quite sufficient, so His Majesty and Gu Xueshi don’t have to worry about money and food at all.”

After hearing this, Long Wu looked at Wang Yan and said, "I often think about how to restore the old frontiers, defeat the northern captives, and restore the two capitals. Finally, I came to the conclusion that "Wen does not love money, and Wu does not hesitate to die", then Ming will surely win. Wang Qing I am the minister of my humerus, with unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. Sichuan and Shu have to be rescued, and the country has no wealth. I wonder if the Qing family is willing to take on this important task?"

Wang Yan felt uneasy for a while, the emperor and several cabinet ministers, isn't it sure that he will fight against the Qing with all his heart, so they will cheat him openly?
