Liu Ji continued: "But when Emperor Xuan met Zhong Wuhou in Wuzhangyuan, he was as Xu as a forest and as immovable as a mountain. Both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty said that Sima Yi was as fearful of Shu as a tiger. Then I would like to ask Zongxian He, this Marquis of Wu, how can he?" will fight?"

"Marquis Zhongwu doesn't know how to fight, so how could he be Marquis Wu?" He Zhang said with a bit of embarrassment.

Does Zhuge Liang have military talent?Of course there is, military talent is military talent, this thing is rare, there is no need to distinguish between high and low.

Sima Yi's whole life of fighting is a quick battle, coming and going like the wind. In the Three Kingdoms era after Cao Pi became emperor, if Sima Yi hadn't met Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi would be the brightest boy in the Three Kingdoms. I will win if I fight anyone , chopped melons and vegetables, and won quickly, the mustache had to call out Patriarch when he saw Sima Yi.

When Cao Pi passed away, Sun Quan felt that the new funeral of the king of Wei was a good time to attack Wei. Sun Quan sent troops to attack Wei in August of the seventh year of Huangchu. Sima Yi defeated Sun Quan and Zhuge Jin within a hundred days. Ba, this is before the mobilization of troops. In December of the seventh year of Huangchu, Sima Yi's troops were promoted to General Biao Hussars.

Sima Yi's use of troops highlights one of vigorous and resolute, and one of clean and neat.

What happened after Sima Yi met Zhuge Liang?

Zhuge Liang sent the woman to dress up, and Sima Yi was so humiliated that he still stood still. What tactics, what formations, what tricks, what quick victories, what others criticized, all four words, shrinking his head like a turtle.

"Just admit it." Seeing that He Zhang did not object, Liu Ji continued: "In the battle of Lucheng, Zhong Wuhou used the grain road as a bait. The Battle of Lucheng almost became the place where Emperor Xuan fell into battle, and since then, Emperor Xuan has gained the reputation of being as fearful of Shu as a tiger."

"Is Emperor Xuan afraid of the Kingdom of Shu, or of Marquis Wu?"

"If it is because of Yu Shaobao's conspiracy that he has to judge his merits and demerits, then Zhongwuhou used the food road as a bait to make a conspiracy, and he did not see the empress of Shu punish Zhongwuhou, saying that Zhongwuhou should not have done so."

"He Zongxian, what kind of situation do you put your majesty in? If you make a mistake today, won't your majesty want a judgment that is not as good as the empress lord of Shu?"

"It is reasonable for Marquis Zhongwu to use food and roads as bait to determine victory, and it is also reasonable for Marquis Wen'an to use food and grass as bait. Zongxian He can't say that Yu Shaobao can't fight."

To say that Yu Qian does not know how to fight is to speak nonsense with open eyes. After the emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty and Northern Song Dynasty were captured, the Western Jin Dynasty’s journey to the south became the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the mud horse crossing the river in the Northern Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty. Is Xu Youzhen the only one?Even Yu Shiyue sent his wife and children away.

In the 14th year of orthodoxy, the Ming emperor was captured. Instead, Daming fought a beautiful counterattack under the capital city, and then made persistent efforts, forcing Walaxi to run away without a trace.

This is Yu Qian's de facto achievement.

He Zhang was silent for a moment, then bowed his head to the emperor on the platform and said, "Yu Shaobao naturally has military talent, Your Majesty, I have no objection."

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, He Zhang chose to admit defeat. This was to withdraw the impeachment against Qian. In the case of the Duke's Mansion, He Zhang impeached him to the end.

At the beginning when Xiao Yi was implicated by Qian Pu and Zhu Qiyu came forward, He Zhang would not give up a single step. If Zhu Qiyu hadn't come up with a bad idea to let Xiao Yi take the case, it could be regarded as an confession and an explanation.

"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, inspected the circle and asked.

Liu Ji will put Qianqian and Zhuge Zhuang on the same page, is Yu Qian worthy?In Zhu Qiyu's own opinion, Yu Qian is of course worthy of it, and in the eyes of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Yu Qian is also worthy of it. Zhuge Liang is a character who lives in the history books, and Yu Qian is a living supporter of the sky, Bo Yunzhu, and Haizijin Liang.

Using grain, grass and luggage as bait, Zhongwu Hou Zhuge Liang used it, so Wen'an Hou used it?

If you want to discuss it, you must first deny Zhuge Liang. It is really too difficult to deny this Zhuge Liang who has entered the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple.

Zhu Qiyu waited for a while, but still no one came out to argue with Liu Ji. As the emperor, as the referee, Zhu Qiyu said: "If you don't speak, I will assume that you have no objections. Take history as a mirror to know the ups and downs, Liu Ji What the doctor said won my heart deeply."

"I have never thought that there is anything wrong with Yu Shaobao's use of grain and grass as bait. This grain and grass are also used for logistics. Isn't logistics used for consumption? How the front line consumes food and grass is the front line's business. If the logistics is not replenished, then It was my fault."

In this round of merits and demerits, Liu Ji beat He Zhang, and Zhu Qiyu, as the referee who was already biased, characterized the matter of Yu Qian's use of grain and grass as bait this time for the consumption of grain and grass. That is to fight against the emperor, and the winner takes all, whether it is on the battlefield or at the negotiating table.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of impeaching Yu Shaobao for no reason." He Zhang flicked his sleeves and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Article 96 of the "Gangxian Regulations" was revised by Yu Shangshu and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am familiar with the Gangxian. He Zongxian did not make false accusations. Every sentence is true. What is the crime? This Fengtian Temple belongs to the Ming Dynasty. Where the magic weapon is, Zongxian He is dedicated to the public, and where the responsibility lies, there is nothing wrong with it."

"No fault, no guilt, excuse me." Zhu Qiyu had a smile on his face, and He Zhang did not make a false accusation. The facts were clear. As a courtier, as a courtier, and as the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was his duty to raise objections.

The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate want to bite people, and Yu Shaobaogui is the head of all officials, so it is not impossible to bite people. The procuratorate doesn't care about this, Jinyiwei can't manage it, and the East Factory can't manage it, so wouldn't it be necessary to set up a West Factory to take care of it?

On the original historical line, if Zhu Jianshen had a way, he would leave the East Factory and Jinyiwei unused, and insist on setting up a West Factory?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." He Zhang thanked Xie En again before getting up and returning to work.

He Zhang stood still, in fact, he was in a cold sweat. If he hadn't made a memorial in advance, which showed the nature of a scholar and expressed his heart in advance, whether His Majesty would go down the slope today, and if he pleaded guilty, His Majesty would directly agree and let him go. It's not possible to kiss, but it's possible to let him out of Beijing.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Liu Ji, Liu Ji was a little proud, but Zhu Qiyu knew too well that He Zhang was merciful, it was He Zhang who didn't want to win, it wasn't Liu Ji who won, Liu Ji was good at learning, but He Zhang was not. ?Zhu Qiyu has studied the battle of Lucheng, and He Zhang wants to impeach Yu Qian, can he not make preparations?

Especially after He Zhang heard Liu Ji mention the Battle of Lu City, He Zhang started to release water. To be precise, He Zhang has been releasing water from the very beginning.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do." Xing'an said loudly, flicking his whisk.

The court meeting was still going on, and the state affairs were in turmoil. Apart from the great event of the triumphant return of the Northern Expedition, the biggest event was that Duke Jun Chen Mao escorted Jiaozhi Autumn Grain to Beijing with high taxes.

Cochin Thirteen Division’s ocean-covering ships have entered Mizhou Shipsi, and the ship unloads and goes south to Songjiang City Shipsi, because the harbor of Mizhou Shipsi will freeze, and if you don’t go, you will have to go next spring when the ice and snow melt, and Chen Mao himself came to the capital with high taxes, and the Ministry of Rites discussed the etiquette accordingly.

Zhu Qiyu felt that Chen Mao and the other princes should be given gifts, but the Ministry of Rites was very insistent on this matter, resolutely insisting on the state's official ceremony. Zhu Qiyu is the emperor, and a gentleman's words are hard to follow. If you make a promise, how can you withdraw it?But the Ministry of Rites could even be said to be stubborn in this matter, Zhu Qiyu asked Yao Kui and He Zhang to stay for further discussion.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Ministry of Rites said makes sense." After He Zhang stayed behind, he also agreed with the Duke's welcome and gift method of the Ministry of Rites, not the prince.

"He Zongxian!" Zhu Qiyu said with a little dissatisfaction: "You have to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War, and the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, do you also take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites? Maybe someday, you will also take care of the affairs of Tai'an Palace!"

"I dare not, I will die." He Zhang staggered in fright, and hurriedly bowed his head to plead guilty.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu say, "Tell me the reason."

He Zhang bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, if I am the Duke of Jun, and I come back to Beijing to visit, Your Majesty will wait for the king's gift, and I can only hang myself to thank God. Some holy family members can't stand it."

"It's reasonable, then follow the Ministry of Rites and make preparations." Zhu Qiyu agreed with He Zhang's rhetoric and asked the Ministry of Rites to make preparations.

"Your Majesty obeys the decree, and I will leave." Yao Kui was startled by His Majesty's anger just now, and hurriedly left Fengtian Hall. When Yao Kui stepped forward with one foot, Yao Kui heard His Majesty's words.

"That Ma Jin from the Procuratorate, it's fine if you don't work hard. What's the matter with this knowledge? Emperor Xuan didn't know who it was, so he sent him to the Imperial Academy to study for a while." Zhu Qiyu's words obviously contained disgust.

"I obey the order." He Zhang bowed his head and took the order.

Zhu Qiyu watched Yao Kui leave, and waited for a while before speaking: "He Aiqing, do you...understand?"

As soon as the words He Aiqing came out, He Zhang knew that His Majesty was not really angry. After all, the temper just now was sent to Yao Kui.

But, is His Majesty's anger really just for Yao Kui?Any ideas for tapping?

He Zhang bowed his head and said, "I understand."

What does He Zhang understand?I understand that His Majesty still regards civil servants as enemies in his heart. The security fee of 50 silver a year in Tai'an Palace is not for generals, but for civil servants. His Majesty has never really trusted civil servants other than Yu Shaobao, even when entering and leaving Tai'an. The same is true for Hu Wei of the palace.

"Do you know what I want you to do?" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile on his face.

"Some things are inconvenient for His Majesty, the East Factory is not suitable, Jin Yiwei is too ostentatious, and it is just right for me to do it." He Zhang said concisely.

To put it bluntly, His Majesty wants him to be a water monkey like this time.

Zhu Qiyu stood up cheerfully and said: "Xing'an, bring some shark beads and put a curtain on Zongxian He. If it's not appropriate, take a thousand silver. The curtain can't be spent, but silver coins are fine. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, this time Mr. He has worked so hard on this matter, if you have merit, you should be rewarded."

"Don't give up, run around for state affairs, rewards and punishments will last forever."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." He Zhang didn't refuse. This matter is settled today, and we can't make any fuss in the future. If we bring it up again in the future, Yu Shaobao will inevitably be forced to ignore the matter. Wen Yuwu started from Yu Shaobao, and if he didn't trip Yu Shaobao, there was nothing he could do to promote Wen Yuwu.

Seeing that His Majesty took out the silver reward, He Zhang also felt relieved. His Majesty just acted out for Yao Kui when he was angry and happy just now. Art does not mean beating.

His Majesty the Emperor even took out the silver as a reward, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor is very satisfied with He Zhang's mission.

A whole thousand silver!

Chapter 912 Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain are on hand, and I dare not touch a penny

From the beginning of Chen Xun to the current Hu Wei, in fact, he has said many times that the emperor should make it difficult for the courtiers to agree with what he does and says. What happens is the courtiers’ fault, and the credit is the emperor’s. This is an emperor. As a normal practice, Chen Xun explained to the emperor more than once the art of imperial conquest, and Hu Wei also spoke out many times.

Zhu Qiyu admitted that what they said was very reasonable, but he didn't need to play it up like this and play some unpredictable and unpredictable tricks, because the head of all officials in the court was Yu Qian.

This is what Liu Ji said, using grain and grass as bait is indeed outrageous, but it is very reasonable for Yu Shaobao.

Liu Ji won a big victory in the court hall, and his words made He Zongxian, who covered the sky with his hands, admit defeat. At the same time as his fame became famous, Liu Ji also came to Hu Wei's mansion with his things proudly, and couldn't wait Here comes the invitation.

Liu Ji didn't bring any valuables, just things like red dates and millet. After the concierge checked outside the door, he brought them into the house. Every time He Zhang came to carry things, but they couldn't send them out. Liu Ji I can also carry things and send them in.

Liu Ji beamed with delight and explained how he had taught He Zhang a lesson in the court, and explained it with emotion.

"Liu Ji, do you know what the name of the largest river in Daming is called?" After hearing this, Hu Min took a deep breath and asked.

"Great River." Liu Ji once worked as an editor and participated in the compilation of "Jingtai Huanyu Tongzhi", and personally visited the Yangtze River for three years, and completed the Tongzhi in the Huguang area. Of course he knew that the largest river in Ming Dynasty was the Yangtze River.

Hu Wei waved his hand and said with emotion: "That's the water your senior brother released."

"Ah?" Liu Ji was stunned, and it took him a long time to recover, and said in a daze, "This, this..."

"You, you, you are still young after all, you didn't even notice that your brother let you go." Seeing Liu Ji's puzzled face, Hu Wei explained the cause and effect of the matter one by one.

"Master, you mean that He Zhang presided over this matter from the beginning to the end?" Liu Ji finally understood that this round of meritorious deeds in court was entirely a drama directed and acted by He Zhang himself. Liu Ji thought about it for a long time, but he could only use the four words "covering the sky with one hand" to describe it.

Liu Ji never thought that He Zhang was an insider, and he was beaming at his victory, and even came to ask for credit, which was tantamount to giving himself a big mouth.

Hu Mei knocked on the table, and said quite seriously: "Everyone understands some things, but they just can't say them clearly. Look at what you said? Even if your senior brother lets you, he can only beat you. If you want You can compare Shaobao with Marquis Wu, but you can be more tactful, what do you mean that others can't do this, but Yu Shaobao can do it, so can you say it directly?"

"Your senior brother just said kowtow and asked you to kowtow in Jiuzhong hall, that's being polite."

"If I were He Zhang, I just need to grasp your words and realize that there are some things Yu Shaobao can do that others can't, such as abolishing Li. So what about you? This theory of merit and demerit will change in an instant."

Liu Ji was in a cold sweat. When Yu Qian abolished King Jili, it was because King Jili himself was captured. Now that Yu Qian wants to abolish the emperor, he needs to rely on his strength to speak. Does Yu Qian have that strength?From Liu Ji's point of view, Yu Shaobao also has that kind of strength in the eyes of most courtiers, and that's enough.

With that seemingly sufficient strength, such a taboo thing is enough to punish one's heart.

Hu Wei looked at Liu Ji and warned: "In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. This time, your senior brother is too lazy to argue with you. Misfortune comes from your mouth. When you speak in Fengtian Temple, you must think twice and think twice. , Your Majesty told me about this matter, and listened to me talking about it for a long time, thinking twice before saying it, otherwise He Zhang would not be able to eat it in a rage, and thanks to his cleverness, let the army go to the Xuanfu for winter training Half a month."

"Thank you, master, for your teaching." Liu Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead. In this late autumn season, he was sweating all over his body. If you talk about the topic of the Lord, then you will be in great trouble. Liu Ji's one sentence poked a hole in the sky.

"But why did He Zhang let me?" Liu Ji asked with some confusion.

Hu Wei looked at Liu Ji and said with some satisfaction: "Your senior brother can indeed refuse to let you go. Although I said he is your senior brother, he can deny it at all. How can there be any brotherly friendship in the officialdom? Brothers for Scattered and broken silver can never get in touch with each other, and what's more, this unscrupulous senior brother comes and goes for the benefit of the court?"

"Yes, I asked him to take care of you when he came to the house before, but he didn't need to care about it at all. With He Zhang's character, he might have estimated these changes a long time ago, just to figure out whether Yu Shaobao is the master of high meritorious service or not. For the sake of this, He Zhang has a way to make it back, and the situation is still under his control."

"He just saw that there was no one in the Ministry of Rites."

"It's probably because I've retired, and there's no one in the etiquette department. In the process of resolving this matter, I'll use my reputation to lift you up. When someone mentions this, oh, this Liu Ji silenced Mr. He. This Ministry of Rites is not easy to mess with."

Hu Wei said to He Zhang, if He Zhang is to take care of Liu Ji, should He Zhang take care of him?Really unnecessary.

Not to mention this unscrupulous master-student relationship, even if it is really a master-student, the benefits in the court come and go, He Zhang is now sitting in the position of the chief constitution, and if Hu Wei is, of course He Zhang You don't need to listen, the son can't help the father when he grows up, and this is neither the son nor the apprentice.The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. You are no longer a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but now you are a teacher. With He Zhang's power now, is he really afraid of Hu Wei?

He Zhang asked Liu Ji to step on it, and he was indeed lifting Liu Ji. After all, the Ministry of Rites wanted to sprinkle water to wash the ground for His Majesty.

"Then I have done useless work?" Liu Ji was a little disheartened. He and He Zhang were friends from the same hometown, but now He Zhang has almost become his heart disease, a mountain that cannot be crossed. After crossing over, looking back, the mountain is even higher.

Hu Yan smiled and said: "It's not useless. You don't need to belittle yourself and underestimate yourself too much. You did a really good job this time, but that sentence is wrong. I'm just pointing it out to you. Don't do it again in the future." yes."

"Liu Ji, remember, if you win, you win. No matter what reason the opponent deliberately tolerates, if you win, you win. Why is the winner doing nothing?"

Liu Ji saluted again to thank him, and some smiles returned to his face. A win is a win. No matter what the reason is, a win is a win. Although the win was not so open and aboveboard this time, he smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, for teaching."

"He Zhang will be in danger if he continues like this." Hu Yan said with a little worry.

Liu Jiman was full of doubts and said: "What's the danger of covering the sky with only one hand? Master said that after the court meeting, His Majesty left He Zongxian to reprimand and dismiss Ma Jin as a beating? But according to what Master said, Your Majesty should not blame Mr. He."

"It's not His Majesty's reprimand, it's naturally for Yao Kui, I mean He Zhang." Hu Wei frowned and shook his head and said: "I just hope I'm wrong, He Zhang is willing to be in His Majesty's hands for the sake of state affairs. The knife, but have you seen Lu Zhong, it is His Majesty's sharpest knife, and it can only be hidden in the dark on weekdays, and only draws out its sheath when needed."

"He Zhang is willing to be the knife in His Majesty's hand. Those who are too rigid are easy to break, and those who are gentle are invincible. The best is like water."

After thinking for a while, Liu Jisi still couldn't figure it out and asked: "Master, brother is using this knife for the sake of state affairs, so why did you break it for state affairs?"

Hu Wei said helplessly: "The truth is such a truth, but sometimes things are not like this."

He Zhang made this knife for state affairs, as long as He Zhang has a clear conscience for state affairs, even His Majesty has to endure three points, how could it be broken?This is the reason, the matter is the matter, and the development of the matter is mostly illogical and unreasonable.

Some people slandered Emperor Taizu Gao for a little profit.

"I hope I'm wrong." With a smile on Hu's face full of grooves, he continued: "Our Majesty, I can't see through, so I will be wrong about this matter in the court."

"When King Jili returned to Beijing, His Majesty carried King Jili to the Taimiao, and asked King Jili to use his own seal to affix the imperial edict. This is His Majesty. His Majesty has already made up his mind to kill people. Sealed this edict of abdication."

"Your Majesty, this is for preservation, to preserve Yu Shaobao, to preserve Wang Zhi, to preserve me, to preserve all the courtiers who participated in the abolition of the establishment, no matter who will talk about it in the future, the edict of this edict is solid evidence, even if the fact is that Yu Shaobao abolished the establishment , but this edict is here, so it cannot be used to attack the courtiers who participated in the abolition of the establishment."

"Contrary to what is said in the market, His Majesty is a good man. When I say this, you may think I am joking, but His Majesty is indeed a good man."

"A good man?" Liu Ji's tone was somewhat horrified. Can His Majesty be considered a good man?

Hu Wei explained: "Take Xiao Yi as an example. First, Xiao Yi and Shang Ren got dirty with the name of Ji Li Wang Shilu. Isn't this a taboo against His Majesty? Then Xiao Yi was involved in the Qian Pu case, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate If you don't let go, your Majesty can actually push the boat along. This time Xiao Yi became a pawn again, and was admonished by His Royal Highness King Xiang, and His Majesty used this excuse to punish Xiao Yi."

"Your Majesty didn't do this, because Xiao Yi has been able to barely meet the standard of a competent official over the years. He has done a good job. His Majesty's mind is as broad as the sea. Orthodox supporters like Xu Youzhen, Xiao Yi, and Liu Yongcheng Boss, Your Majesty doesn't need it, the world is so big, it's hard to find three-legged toads, but there are plenty of people with two legs."

"That's why I said that I can't see through He Zhang's fate. According to the past principles, it must be broken, but in His Majesty's hands, I can't say whether it will be broken or not."

Even Hu Yan can't see through, can Liu Ji see through?Naturally, Liu Ji couldn't either.

Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorials in the Juxian Pavilion of the lecture hall. He took a memorial and slapped it on the table, and said with some annoyance: "This Xu Youzhen, returned to Beijing, I will definitely punish him! Every time In the memorial, besides asking for money, I just want money. Is my domestic money and national money a bottomless pit! I keep asking for money, and sooner or later he will empty it out."

"Isn't Governor Xu not going back to Beijing?" Xing'an said with a smile on his face, "I'm afraid I will only ask for more money if I entrust this job to someone else. Don't even dare to touch it."

Of course Xu Youzhen didn't dare to touch it. She wanted to mess with his emperor for no reason. If she had a reason, why not set off a [-]-shot firecracker to celebrate?As a fish, jumping ashore and jumping into the cage is an insult to oneself.

"There are too many people who can control water in this world, Xu Youzhen is missing him?" Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, Zhu approved the memorial, ordered the Ministry of Households to follow suit, and gave money. Xu Youzhen didn't want much, 20 silver, which was out of budget Zhu Qiyu still approved the degree of support.

20 silver, if it is approved, it will be approved. The Ministry of Rituals saw the [-] silver for the selection of the show girl, and wanted to cry without tears.

Xu Youzhen asked for a lot of money, and the work was done quickly. After five years of dredging, the dredging of the main road of the 500-mile waterway was coming to an end. It might not be so efficient for another person to complete the task. According to Yu Qian's estimate, Xu Youzhen worked five years and spent 20 to [-] silver for a few things that would take ten years and tens of millions of silver.

There are indeed many people who can control water in the world, but Xu Youzhen is good at governance and has experience, and he doesn't dare to be greedy.
