Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 649 Su Guansheng

In the Hengyang palace, Wang Yan had just been crowned the county king, and the joy had not yet passed. Lady Xu gave birth to a boy and a girl.

Wang Yan also accompanied Le for several days, but in the blink of an eye, it was the end of Dinghai, and the third year of Longwu was about to end, and various affairs piled up, so he couldn't be idle after all.

In the early morning, He Zhizhi dressed Wang Yan in court clothes, and Wang Yan rushed to Xingchao to participate in the early court, and then went to Wenyuan Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the door, Yuanwailang on the first floor and the others immediately stopped their work, bowed and saluted, "Your Highness!"

Wang Yan waved, indicating that they should do their own thing and don't pay attention to him, so he went straight upstairs to the office of the academician on the second floor.

He didn't go into his cubicle, but sat down in the meeting hall. The layout of the whole hall was much richer than when he left. There was a plaque in the middle with four big characters "Parents for the people" written on it. The handwriting should be from the emperor's handwriting.

Below the plaque is a pair of words, the content is "Zhan Ling Zhen", this article came from the later Shu Dynasty, and later Song Taizong abbreviated "San Ling Zhen" into four sentences and [-] characters, which is the famous "Er Feng Er Lu, Min Min Anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully."

This picture hanging here is also used to warn the ministers.

On both sides of the characters, there are two large blue and white flowers, and below it is a set of antique mahogany chairs, placed on both sides, and in the middle of the hall is a large sand table, which is the geography of Daming mountains and rivers. , There are also two pictures hanging on it, one is the map of the world, and the other is the map of the South Seas.

This sand table was prepared by Wang Yan and sent by Song Yingxing. The mountains, rivers, geography, city, and the situation are clear at a glance. It is very huge. The two pictures are his private collection brought out from Macau.

Wang Yan sat down in a corner of the aisle, and the servant lit sandalwood and tea for him, and then he sent him away.

Not long after, Su Guansheng went upstairs first, and went directly to his cubicle. Wang Yan didn't come to Wenyuan Pavilion often. Seeing that Su Guansheng didn't notice him, he got up and called out, "Old Su Ge!"

Su Guansheng was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, and turned his head to see Wang Yan. He frowned, but he still walked over, and then cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on the birth of a son."

Wang Yan stretched out his hand to signal, and sat down with him, and then said: "You are very polite."

Su Guansheng also sat down and asked, "Why did Your Highness come to Wenyuan Pavilion today?"

The two sat close to each other, and there was a small mahogany table between them. On it was a pot of tea that the servant just brewed for him. Wang Yan opened a small teacup, picked up the delicate purple sand pot, and brewed a cup for Su Guansheng. , pushed it in front of him, and said: "I wrote a letter to Elder Ge before, but I never got a reply from Elder Ge, so I waited specially."

Wang Yan captured King Yu in Xinxing County. He didn't want to make enemies with Su Guansheng and make enemies everywhere, so he wrote a letter to Su Guansheng, a big brother of the Tang Dynasty, probably saying that King Yu is very good.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Su Guansheng's expression changed, he looked around and said in a cold voice, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"You should ask Elder Ge about this, what is Elder Ge's intention?" Wang Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Wouldn't Elder Ge give Gu an explanation for what King Yu did?"

Su Guansheng's face darkened, he was silent for a while, sighed and said: "King Tang and I have no intention of fighting against His Highness, our goal is only King Gui, and it is King Yu's temporary intention to do something unfavorable to His Highness." Speaking of this, Su Guansheng suddenly stared at Wang Yan and said, "But what is His Highness's intention to protect King Gui? If His Highness intends to let King Gui succeed him, then this pavilion will be at odds with His Highness."

After Su Guansheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yan, but Wang Yan didn't answer right away. Seeing this, Su Guansheng panicked in his heart. He had meant a threat just now, but after he blurted out, he regretted it. After all, Wang Yan was powerful, and he didn't He didn't want to push Wang Yan to King Gui's side, so he adjusted his tone and said, "Your Majesty's award is delayed, but His Highness shouldn't embrace Gui. Datong, whose virtue cannot afford the responsibility of Zhongxing, will not be of any benefit to His Highness."

Su Guansheng was reminding him that King Gui's behavior when facing the enemy, and that he had killed King Gui's envoys and wiped out King Gui's regime in one fell swoop, it is impossible for King Gui to have a good impression of him.

Wang Yan shook his head, "Elder Ge is worrying too much, Gu has no intention of embracing Gui, and even Elder Ge wants to embrace Tang Wang's succession, Gu has no objection."

After hearing this, Su Guansheng was a little puzzled, and frowned, "Then why does Your Highness want to protect King Gui, and what exactly does His Highness want to do?"

"Why does Mr. Ge support Tang Wang?" Wang Yan asked back.

Su Guansheng was silent, staring at Wang Yan for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness is becoming more and more noble now, and every move is related to the fate of the country. Today, this pavilion will not hide it, and have an open and honest talk with His Highness."

After Wang Yan heard this, he sat upright and cupped his hands in a solemn expression, "Please give me your advice, Mr. Ge."

Su Guansheng murmured, "This pavilion supports the Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of the public, the king of the Tang Dynasty has the capital of the Ming Lord, strengthens the Guifan a hundred times, and can inherit the cause of the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation. Personally speaking, the pavilion is favored by His Majesty, and it should help protect the Tang Dynasty." Fans belong to the same line, and before the dispute between Tang and Gui, this cabinet has been hated by Gui Fan. If Gui Fan ascends the throne and supports many Tang officials, he will inevitably be squeezed out, suppressed, or even liquidated. This will make the court unstable, so this cabinet is resolute Oppose the succession of King Gui."

Su Guansheng stared at Wang Yan, "What about Your Highness? At this point, His Highness probably has nothing to do. If His Highness wants to endanger the Great Ming Dynasty, this pavilion will never agree."

Since the Guangnan battle last year, Su Guansheng has been anti-Guangxi as always. When the tripartite agreement was made, Su Guansheng was dismissed by Longwu because he insisted on using force to wipe out the Guifan. But the situation changed later. Wang Yan, who advocated reconciliation at the time, later wiped out King Gui's regime.

Su Guansheng's words were basically not concealed, and he was really honest with each other. Wang Yan really wanted to be disobedient, and he didn't dare to show it in front of him. Seeing Su Guansheng looking at him, Wang Yan knew it was his turn.

"Elder Ge said just now, not to mention selfishness and solitude. Generally speaking, Elder Ge wants to rejuvenate Ming Dynasty and make the world peaceful." Wang Yan calmed down his thoughts slightly, "Elder Ge thinks that King Tang is more leisurely than King Gui. , but has Mr. Ge ever thought about what happens after the Tang king? Yan thinks that rejuvenating the world can bring about long-term peace and stability in the world. You can't just rely on the Ming Lord. We, scholars, have the responsibility to rule the world together by cultivating Qi Zhiping."

"Not relying on the emperor?" Su Guansheng frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Yan said, "I protect King Gui alone, mainly to protect myself, and have no intention of supporting Gui. Like the old man, Gu is also for the sake of rejuvenating Daming. Supporting the Tang Dynasty, I do not oppose it, I just feel that the monarchy is too strong, which is not good for the world. At least we must return to the Song system, so that the emperor cannot arbitrarily lock up the ministers, so that the monarch and his ministers can rule together."

Su Guansheng somewhat understood what Wang Yan meant. He was about to speak when a voice came from the side of the stairs, "Your Highness is coming to Wenyuan Pavilion today?"

　Thank you Wang Dana, Yuedong Woxin for your reward, thank you, you, you, you, Aoxian, you are full, Zhang Huafeiyan’s monthly ticket
