Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 127 Turning the war into jade
At night, Guichun Pavilion in Yuwang Mansion.

"Crack", King Yu threw a tea bowl heavily on the ground.Seeing this, Concubine Li remained silent, just bent over to pick up the broken porcelain pieces.

King Yu said, "Let the servants do what you pick up."

Concubine Li said: "If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers. If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your status. If you don't keep secrets, you will be harmed. No one can know what the concubine just said to the prince, so the concubine asked all the servants to quit. Guichun Pavilion."

King Yu said angrily: "Gao Gong harmed me! How could he let Zhao Jianzhi do that? All the people in Kyushu and Wanfang belong to the emperor. It can be said that they will belong to me sooner or later! Datongwei was slaughtered Those people, those soldiers who died for the country, are the people and soldiers of this king in the final analysis! He Gaogong is also a Jinshi, and after studying for so many years, have he read to the stomach?"

Concubine Li packed up the broken porcelain pieces, found another teacup, and poured a cup of tea for King Yu: "My lord, please calm down."

King Yu said: "Call people immediately to the mansions of Gao Gong, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and let them come to see me immediately."

Concubine Li said: "Let me advise the prince, you'd better pretend that you don't know about this matter!"

King Yu said angrily: "How can I pretend that I don't know? The high-ranking official of the second rank is my attendant and one of my most trusted people! To trip Yan Song, he did such a dirty trick." Things, don't I care?!"

Concubine Li calmly analyzed for King Yu: "If the prince wants to pursue this matter, he will accidentally spread the story of Gao Gong instructing Zhao Jianzhi to seek refuge with the Tatars. What do you think the emperor will think of you? He won't think of you Kill relatives with righteousness. You will only lose trust in you because your subordinates manipulate military affairs!"

King Yu frowned: "Blood is thicker than water! Would Father still doubt me?"

Concubine Li said: "It is true that blood is thicker than water. But has the lord never heard of the disaster of Lord Chunshen's Xiaoqiang? The change of King Zhao Wuling's sand dunes? The son killed the father, the brother killed the brother, are there still few examples of the brother killing the brother? Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about this dynasty. Have you forgotten the Nangong Change in the eighth year of Jingtai? Yingzongye and Daizongye are brothers. The throne can meet swordsman..."

Concubine Li persuaded King Yu to finally calm down.He sighed: "Okay, the matter of Datong Wei, this king will no longer cause extra problems! But Gao Gong is such a vicious person, from now on, this king will never use it again! His vicious methods are not bright and righteous!"

Concubine Li shook her head: "The concubine thinks that the prince should not only neglect Gao Gong in the future, but should reuse him. You are the only prince of the emperor and the heir of the Ming Dynasty. After the death of the emperor Longyu, it is only natural for you to succeed to the throne But, my lord, the biggest obstacle to your succession to the throne is the strict party. The strict party has controlled the government for many years, and its followers are all over the world. It is hard to say whether it will use oblique forces to obstruct your succession. Yan Song and Yan Shifan are vicious People. Gentlemen like Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie are often powerless to deal with vicious people."

Concubine Li pushed the teacup in front of King Yu, and continued: "Gao Gong is different. This man is ruthless and dares to use some vicious methods. Using him to deal with Yan Song is just like fighting poison with poison! The concubine thinks that the so-called The art of the emperor is to use good people as well as bad people. Only using good people or only using bad people will ruin great things."

King Yu sighed: "It's a pity!"

Concubine Li asked, "What's the pity of your lord?"

King Yu looked at Concubine Li with approving eyes: "It's a pity that you are only a woman. If you are a man, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely let you be the chief minister of the cabinet! Your knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary men!"

Concubine Li smiled: "Thank you for your praise. In fact, when you think about it carefully, the Datong collusion case planned by Gao Gong made the prince lose some face in the court. But among the nine sides, four of them were replaced at once in the past two months." A general from the Yan Party was replaced by someone from your lord. Although Gao Gong practiced insidious magic, he also helped the lord a lot. If the lord came to the throne, the strict party relied on the nine frontier troops to attack, and the consequences would be disastrous. Now The prince is like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves. First take the nine towns back to the four towns, and proceed step by step. One day, sooner or later, the frontier troops of the nine towns will all be your prince's!"

King Yu said: "Well, you are right."

Concubine Li suddenly changed the subject: "However, the prince really wronged He Liu. All he did in Datong was for the sake of the prince, but the prince punished him to kneel in the sun for an entire hour."

Yu Wang smiled: "He Liu was indeed wronged. You ask his wife to tell him that it is a taboo for the prince to see Jin Yiwei in private. Let him come to the palace to enjoy the spring at the palace three days later. I want to face to face Thank him."

Concubine Li smiled angrily: "The lord is thinking of Xie Nahe Liu now? A few days ago, you wished you could eat other people's meat and sleep on their skin!"

King Yu said with some embarrassment: "How did I know the hidden story of the Datong Collaboration Case at that time? I thought he was instructed by Yan Song to frame Zhao Jianzhi!"

Three days later, it's time for the sub-brand.

Prince Yu's Mansion, Spring Appreciation Pavilion.

King Yu sat in the Spring Appreciation Pavilion, and He Liu stood beside him with his hands down.

King Yu looked at the bright moon above his head, and recited casually: "Where is the night without moon, where is there no bamboo and cypress, but there are few idlers like us. But unfortunately, you are not an idler, and neither am I."

He Liudao: "What kind of lowly person is this minister? How can he be compared with the prince?"

King Yu turned his head and said to He Liu, "Humble? Shun was raised among the farms, Fu Shuo was held among the boards, Jiao Ke was held among the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was held up among the scholars, Sun Shuao was held up in the sea, hundreds of miles away. Xi Ju was born in the city. He came from a humble background, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that he will not be able to become a general in the future! What’s more, the status of the [-]th Imperial Guard of Jin Yiwei is not so humble!”

He Liu cupped his hands: "I will keep in mind the teaching of the prince."

King Yu waved his hand: "It's not about teaching. This time I wronged you. In the matter of Datong, I owe you a favor."

He Liu knelt down: "I'm just doing my duty. If the prince said so, he would kill me!"

King Yu asked again: "But I don't know anything. When Ding Wang's case happened, you found the "Hundred Officials' Records", why didn't you hand him over to me, but burned more than 800 officials with illegal affairs. ? This king will inherit the throne sooner or later. This king must know which officials are loyal and which officials are treacherous!"

He Liudao: "Report to the lord. Your cronies and officials are all loyal ministers and good generals. Naturally, they will not be recorded in the "Hundred Officials Record". I am afraid that once the "Hundred Officials Record" comes to you , you hate evil like a vengeful, and making it public will make those traitors in the court jump over the wall! What bad things can those people not do? Maybe they will kill my prince of Ming Dynasty!"

He Liu is talking nonsense with his eyes open - there are many illegal affairs of Yuwang Party officials recorded in "Hundred Officials Records".

King Yu patted He Liu on the shoulder: "It's hard for you to have such thoughts! Well, this king now knows that you are loyal to me and the emperor! From now on, you will work hard, your future is limitless !"
