eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 50
"The trilateral commander-in-chief cannot be selected, and the emperor and his courtiers disagree. Mr. Xu Ge, this matter can't just be dragged on like this."

After the cold weather, Xu Ge's body was weak and he couldn't bear to be sick.

During this period, the old man insisted on going to the cabinet for a few days, but now it seems that he didn't listen to the doctor at the beginning, and even a cold old man will not get better.

Probably really useless.

On the day of Li Guang's incident, he was ill at home and was not in the palace, especially those eyes, which were almost stuck to his face after reading an article.

But now that the court situation is like this, Xu Ge's old disciples are all over the court, so how can he not be contaminated by any common things.

Speaking of which, Wang Jia, Wang Hua...the Tanhua and the No. [-] scholar were all talents selected for the court when Mr. Xu Ge presided over the examination.

Now these people are not as green as they used to be, but fortunately, they have a bright future, and they all entered the Prince's Mansion.Looking back on the past, of course I can't forget the kindness of Mr. Xu Ge.

Now that the teacher is seriously ill, how can the disciple not come to visit him?
After sitting down for a few words, he naturally talked about the trilateral commander-in-chief.

Xu Pu is old, in his 70s, with white hair all over his head, and bags under his eyes are so swollen that it's hard for him to turn his head. Moreover, he is sick now, and he may have to cough.

In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet was to some extent equivalent to the lubricant of the emperor and ministers.

The cabinet commands hundreds of officials and at the same time reflects the opinions of the courtiers.

If you blindly please the emperor, in this political environment, you are flattering yourself. If the emperor does something unethical, then the cabinet will usually be framed by public opinion and forced to write a letter.

Otherwise, other ministers will label you, saying that you cater to the holy will and harm the country and the people!
Ever since, after the courtiers persuaded the emperor to go against the law, the cabinet would feel the pressure.

Xu Pu has been a cabinet minister for so many years, doesn't he understand such a little truth?
But he is already at this age, and he has no power to deal with the situation.At the beginning of the tenth year of Hongzhi, he had submitted his resignation to the emperor, but the emperor persuaded him to stay, and he was not willing to let him go.

To be honest, I thought it would be the last thing for Donggong to leave the pavilion to give lectures.Li Guang... really didn't expect it.

Mr. Xu's words were very hoarse and his voice was very heavy. His eyes were staring straight ahead. In fact, his eyesight had deteriorated too much. "You two both work in the East Palace. How does the crown prince express his position on this matter? "

Wang Jia is the person here who knows the crown prince best.

He said: "His Highness is not involved in government affairs, it seems that there should be no statement?"

Old Xu Ge didn't have any expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness also did his best when Li Guang was defeated. It should be... that he is on the same path as us?" Wang Hua is now You Yude, the champion of Chenghua for 17 years.

He is also the father of the famous Wang Yangming, and he is considered a young and middle-aged official with great potential at this time.

Hearing what the two of them said, it probably means that they haven't considered what the Eastern Palace means.

Xu Ge didn't reveal his sorrows and joys, but he already knew that the two of them missed the key.

"Officer of the Trilateral Commander, Your Majesty's Sacred Heart has been decided. But when Li Guang died, there was no one to come to his rescue, and he couldn't help but think of the grievance and bewilderment he felt when he was forced to kill Li Guang. Although His Majesty is kind, it doesn't mean that His Majesty will tolerate everything." Xu Pu spoke with his face up. , speaking slowly, but word by word.

"Who can solve the grievances of the king?"

When Wang Hua asked such a question, the answer was almost ready to come out, and he himself realized it instantly.
No wonder Lord Shoufu asked Donggong first.

Wang Hua clapped his hands, "If you can persuade the East Palace, it's fine."

"I'll go." Wang Jia thought for a while, he and the crown prince were the closest.

The crown prince also agreed with his words. Every time he talked about the end, the crown prince said, "I will understand when you talk about it." It can be said that the conversation was very happy.

Xu Pu shook his head, "Don't go. I asked Donggong not to ask you to persuade Donggong."

Yeah?

As a result, both of them were a little puzzled.

"What does that mean?"

"I'm asking because the East Palace is important." Xu Ge's previous words were a bit vain because of his powerlessness, but he suddenly became more serious when he said this, "The East Palace is very assertive. If he is in the same mind as us, he will naturally help at the right time. It doesn’t make sense, and persuasion is useless.”

He was afraid that the crown prince was unwilling to take care of the 'overall situation'.And the overall situation is that in the situation where Li Guang has fallen, for the sake of stability, don't use Wang Yue, otherwise there will be a combination of wind and rain.

"Besides, what His Majesty suffers from is the disease of grievances. He is afraid of being wronged, and he is even more afraid that people close to him will not understand. Now His Majesty already has resentment towards the courtiers. At this time, he still wants to talk to the Eastern Palace. How do you feel?"

When the two heard it, they couldn't help admiring secretly.

Although Mr. Xu Ge is old, he has been the head of the cabinet for many years after all. He seems to be calm, but in fact he has already seen the truth.

That being said, it really can't be done.At this time, persuading the prince to "rebel" would make the emperor even more angry.

"This matter can be said to be big or small. Everything depends on the crown prince. However, it is not my Ming Dynasty's blessing that the court situation is like this."

Wang Jia and Wang Hua didn't understand again.

"Master...what are you worried about?"

The disciples are somewhat close, and Elder Xu Ge is also willing to say: "The border is constantly fighting, but the court is limited by the situation and cannot send famous generals. Is this a blessing? The matter is too tight, forcing His Majesty to send another person , once the battle is defeated, you and I will have no face to face His Majesty, and no power to appease the people, ahem..."

Lying on the bed, the old man stretched out his hand towards the desk,
The servants of the mansion immediately understood the meaning, and went over there to bring a memorial.

"Master..." The steward of the mansion brought the memorial,
But Xu Pu waved his hand to signal him to the two people beside him.

This memorial is a letter of resignation.

"This is?"

"When the wind and rain are turbulent, I am already old and weak. Although the country's affairs have improved, it is still difficult. This resignation... If you want to add something, please add it."

Wang Jia and Wang Hua suddenly understood that Mr. Xu Ge already knew that his time was numbered, and this was probably the last thing he would do. He would speak to the emperor and then resign from his official position.Use your last energy to light the path of future generations.

But they are all gentlemen for a while, and they couldn't bear to let Mr. Xu Ge do such a thing in the end, so they refused one after another.
Wang Hua was even more moved: "The teacher's sincere heart for the country, the students can understand, but I forgive the students, I can't agree to the teacher's request."

Xu Ge's hoarse voice sounded again,
"In my old age, I can still serve the country. This is a blessing rather than a disaster. But remember, this matter must not involve the East Palace, otherwise nothing can be done."

……

……

Daming Mansion, Jun County.

This is Wang Yue's hometown.

Wang Yue has two other characteristics.

One is that the official addiction is very big. It is reasonable to say that at such an advanced age, why bother?But since the first year of Hongzhi, he has been complaining to Shu.

In the seventh year of Hongzhi, the emperor asked him to retire with the title of Zuodu Yushi, but he was still unwilling, and secretly started activities through Li Guang.

In the ninth year of Hongzhi, there was some effect, and the emperor called him to be the inspector, but because of the fierce opposition from the officials, the emperor withdrew his order.After another broken halberd, he still didn't give up...

The second characteristic is handsome.

According to historical records, he is handsome, suave, tall and straight, and has a good temperament and image!

Think about it, what kind of person is this?Being able to pass the Jinshi examination is Neng Wen; being able to become a famous general is Neng Wu.People are also very handsome, what kind of gene is this?
Such genes can still give birth, even if there are unworthy descendants, they can always meet a good one.

It is Wang Zhi, the daughter of his fourth son, who has been exquisite and transparent since she was a child.It is said that she liked to wear white clothes since she was a child, and she always looked up to the sky, like a person who is not in the world.

Walking out of the courtyard where Wang Yueduan was sitting, one could see her black and shiny hair falling down naturally, smooth and soft like black brocade, making one unable to take one's eyes away.

After all, Wang Yue was old, and the news suddenly came from Beijing, which shocked him with dull eyes and trembling lips.

His little granddaughter knelt down in front of him, clattering,

"Granddaughter begged grandpa to stop thinking about making a comeback."

"Now...it doesn't make any difference whether I have the idea or not."

"Grandpa, this is not for becoming an official, but for saving your life. Since Li Guang is dead, someone in the court must play Grandpa. At this time, Tu Yu wrote to you to discuss the strategy of returning to the court. This is clearly to harm you."

Mr. Wang had a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't speak. It seems that he didn't expect it.It's just that he was in the middle of the game, and he himself wanted to become an official in the court, so naturally he didn't have so much dissatisfaction, at least they were still helping him.

"Grandpa, at this time, can only call his illness at home and see no outsiders, so there may be a glimmer of life."

If he pretended to be sick, the court would never think of him again.After all, he is a general, and a general with poor health is meaningless.

"Master, a letter from the capital."

Behind Wang Yue, the housekeeper suddenly appeared.

"Bring it." He stretched out his hand while lying on the chair,
The letter was packaged in silk and satin, which looked luxurious, and there were a few ugly big characters crooked on the envelope: General Wang Yue personally signed it.

Just these few words are enough to surprise the old man,

Where is this famous teacher who cultivated such a calligraphy genius.

But when he saw the content, he suddenly sat up straight!
