Chapter 258 Wang Jingshi wronged the country and wronged the king!

Just when Song Yingchang promised to fight for [-] compensation silver taels for Li Yan, Zhu Yijun's imperial decree was delivered to Seoul, conveying the decision to reward all the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Eastern Expeditionary Army to retreat back to the country. Song Yingchang was quite happy at first, As a result, when he saw the words "the emperor and the three kings came out to meet the triumphant army" in the back, he was stunned for a moment, and began to wonder which three kings these were, so he looked back again. Jumped up.

Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changxun, Zhu Changhao, the emperor's three sons, the emperor intends to make the three sons kings at the same time, waiting for the crown prince, and he will take the three kings out of the imperial city to welcome the army's triumphant return, saying that it is to express his respect for the army Honor favor, honor favor to the general, but as long as he is not a fool, everyone can see that the emperor is rubbing hot spots, trying to confuse the public, and take the opportunity to achieve his own evil goals.

Taking advantage of the triumphant return of the army, he once again postponed the national dispute that was pressed three years ago, took the opportunity to gain the initiative, and hoped to find an opportunity to push his beloved son Chang Xun to the throne. It's not aboveboard at all—but should I say it or not, the emperor couldn't be aboveboard in this matter. Liu Bang wanted to be aboveboard, but Queen Lu invited four scholars to sit next to Liu Ying, and he was persuaded.

He said that there was nothing he could do since the crown prince had become full-fledged, but if he really wanted to push Liu Ruyi to the crown prince, wouldn't there be enough means?He can kill Xiang Yu, a hero, and Han Xin, a military god. Which one is easier to deal with than Liu Ying, Xiang Yu or Han Xin?To put it bluntly, fishing for fame and reputation and the relationship between father and son is hard to break. Finally, after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to make the family unhappy, so I gave up.

If he really wanted to change the prince, the emperor's father would really do something to kill his son, but the emperor with that kind of psychological quality, speaking of it, is really very rare, anyway, Zhu Yijun is definitely not one of them, tiger poison Even if he doesn't eat his son, those who can eat his son are not ordinary emperors.

In the ranking of Chinese emperors, Zhu Yijun can only be regarded as the middle and lower ranks. He has insufficient means, is not strong in wrist, is not cruel in heart, and is not strong in mind. , can be regarded as one of the few shining points, but these shining points can't help him push his favorite Chang Xun to the throne of the prince, and finally become the emperor.

When Wang Xijue was young, he was courageous and dared to fight hard, so he reached this position all the way; as a result, when he got old, he became less and less courageous, more and more cautious, unwilling to offend others, caring about his own power and status, but not He knows what correct method to use to keep his position, has the heart to solve problems, but lacks the ability to plan and implement. To put it bluntly, the young Wang Xijue is an enterprising and capable official. Yuan became a political broker, he liked to speculate, and he didn't want to offend the emperor no matter what.

But in this season, is it the time to do so?

Song Yingchang silently let go of the emperor's will, and looked across the thousand miles, as if he could see the court that had already become a pot of porridge.

However, he has nothing to do. His current position is a Wen Shuai, a Wen Shuai who has just made great achievements, and it is too late to avoid suspicion. How can he speak out and participate in government affairs?Although he was very anxious and worried that there would be unpredictable turmoil in the court, he had no choice but to think about it. He began to arrange for people to go to Japan to recall Xiao Ruxun. Before returning to China, he had a lot to say to Xiao Ruxun.

So a day and a half later, Xiao Ruxun received the recall order and the order to formally appoint Wu Weizhong as the commander-in-chief of Ishii Town. Xiao Ruxun, who arranged the affairs in Japan properly and rested for a day, took the army to North Korea by boat in batches. Prepare to return directly to the capital by sea.

After arriving in North Korea, Xiao Ruxun and Song Yingchang met in Busan. Naturally, there was nothing to say after the meeting. Song Yingchang ordered the whole army to eat and drink for a day, and rewarded the soldiers with cattle and wine, so that the soldiers could eat, drink, and play as much as they wanted. They ate and drank recklessly and rejoiced together, celebrating their victory and returning to the country, while Xiao Ruxun was quietly called into his tent by Song Yingchang, and the two began to talk in secret.

"What's the matter Song Gong? Is there something important?"

As soon as Xiao Ruxun entered the tent, he saw Song Yingchang's serious face.

Song Yingchang reached out and handed a copy of the emperor's warrant to Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun smiled and said, "Didn't you just read it to the big guy?"

Song Yingchang shook his head: "I haven't finished reading, the focus is on the back. You should focus on the back."

Xiao Ruxun looked at the warrant suspiciously, and when he saw the news that the emperor and the three kings went out together to welcome the triumphant return of the army, his face suddenly changed.

"The emperor wants the three kings to be named together? Who gave the bad idea? Isn't this hitting the ministers with guns?!"

Song Yingchang sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

"No matter who came up with the bad idea, this idea has already been known by the officials. Now, things that were supposed to turn around will become out of control. The officials will feel that the emperor is insulting them. After the emperor is counterattacked, they will I feel that the ministers are threatening him, and the rift between the ruler and ministers is getting bigger and bigger. This is not the blessing of the country! This old man is even worried that His Majesty will never go to court or govern again, and the Ming Dynasty will be chaotic!"

Xiao Ruxun put down the warrant and suddenly thought of Wang Xijue.

"Couldn't this be Wang Xijue's bad idea for the emperor?"

Song Yingchang was taken aback for a moment, then patted his palm.

"Oh! Wang Jingshi has wronged the country and the king! He is good. Even if he is impeached by the officials, he resigns and leaves, but what about the Ming Dynasty?! After winning a battle and turning things around, it’s good now, everything is over!”

Xiao Ruxun felt a sense of frustration at this moment.

No matter how much prestige the Ming Dynasty has won on the battlefield, how much silver taels it has earned, how many elite troops have been trained, and how much fertile soil has been cultivated, the court as the central nervous system is still chaotic and corrupt. The giant who is sick from the inside, although it looks rich and powerful on the surface, but the inside has begun to gradually become necrotic. The incident of the Three Kings' Merger is a turning point, completely blocking the turning point of the country-ben dispute that was still on the mend. There is no hope.

"Originally, there might have been a turnaround. Originally, through mediation and compromise, maybe the dispute between the country and the nation could turn around, but now it seems that everything is hopeless. The officials will definitely not agree, and the emperor will definitely be stubborn. That is I don’t know if this turmoil will subside before we go back. No matter who wins or loses, it must be subsided. If it cannot be subdued, even the Triumph Ceremony, the Heaven Ceremony and the Ancestral Ceremony will not be able to be held. It will make the world laugh of!"

Song Yingchang sat down on the chair slumped and sighed.
