Text Chapter 601: Isolating the Imperial Court

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Granting a king with a different surname is a big violation of the Ming Dynasty's tradition, but fortunately Zhang Ke has already taken this step, and the gap between being promoted from a county king to a prince is not very big.  ", just one word can get Zhang Ke to work hard, which is still a big profit.  However, Chongzhen was still a little reluctant. He frowned and said: "Mr. Wen Ge, everything depends on whether someone is willing or not. I will order you to make a trip to Tianjin to ask Zhang Ke." Wen Tiren is a kaleidoscope.  He immediately understood what Chongzhen was thinking. The emperor had better save his face. He asked himself to ask Zhang Ke. He made it clear that Zhang Ke would take the initiative to submit a letter and request to go to beg the thief, and then the court would follow the rules and confer him the title of Eastern King.  Some things have completely different tastes if the order is reversed. For example, if the reward comes first and the troops are sent later, the emperor will lose face if the court asks Zhang Ke to send troops.  If troops are sent first and rewards are given later, then Zhang Ke will take the initiative to take responsibility, and the emperor will be generous and treat the heroes favorably. In this way, the taste is completely different. In front of the people of the world, Chongzhen will also save face.  Wen Tiren only has four words to comment on this kind of calculation: "hiding one's ears and stealing the bell".  Who is the fool in the world who can¡¯t even see this little trick!  But knowing that he was deceiving himself, Wen Tiren had no choice but to agree.  After bidding farewell to Chongzhen, Wen Tiren left the capital on the third day and headed for Tianjin in a light carriage.  Wen Tiren walked for two days on the 280-mile journey. When he arrived in Tianjin, Wen Tiren couldn't help but take a breath of air.  The original Tianjin Acropolis was not majestic and could only accommodate tens of thousands of people. But now it is completely different. Construction is going on everywhere and there are busy people everywhere.  Some blocks have been built, and some are still under construction. They are very busy while workers come and go.  What surprised Wen Tiren most was the wide road.  One, two, three, four I counted them silently, enough to pass twelve carriages side by side.  The roads are not only wide, but also made of wide bluestones. They are strong, solid, flat and stable, and are not afraid of rain or snow. They are countless times better than the roads in the capital.  ¡°What a generous move!¡± Wen Tiren couldn¡¯t help but extend his thumb in admiration.  In the past, I only heard some news.  Wen Tiren just laughed it off and didn't believe it when he said that Zhang Ke was building a large-scale construction project in Tianjin and that the newly built city could accommodate almost a million people. But now that he saw it, it was definitely not a boast.  There is another thing about the brand-new Tianjin city that is difficult for Wen Tiren to understand, that is, the city walls have disappeared. Without the wide and tall city walls for defense, are we not afraid of being attacked? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? or Zhang Ke is too conceited.  No one dares to attack him?  Full of questions, Wen Tiren walked into Tianjin City until he arrived at the gate of the Acropolis, where several officials were waiting by the road.  The leader was Zhang Guochen, who was one of the few non-commissioned officers under Zhang Ke. He had also met Wen Tiren when he was in the capital.  Several years have passed.  Wen Tiren became the first assistant, and Zhang Guochen also became the county magistrate of Tianjin. Their status was ten thousand times different.  But facing the chief minister of the dynasty, Zhang Guochen was not afraid at all.  In fact, the truth is very clear, because the group represented by Zhang Guochen is strong enough. Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Guochen's blood surges and he feels proud.  "Your Majesty pays homage to Yuan Weng." "Without any courtesy, how is your prince?" Zhang Guochen smiled slightly: "I am thinking about you, Yuan Weng. Your prince is in good health and is waiting for Yuan Fu in the flower hall!" Zhang Guochen led the way and led the way.  Wen Tiren followed Wen Tiren all the way to Zhang Ke's palace, and saw that the main door was open, and Wen Tiren strode in. When he reached the second door, Zhang Ke was waiting for him with a smile on his face.  "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuan. Xiao Wang is late to greet you. Please atone for your sins." "Forgive me for any crime, who dares to accuse you!"  According to common sense, the chief assistant is the teacher of hundreds of officials, and he comes with the emperor's orders. Zhang Ke should go outside the city to greet him. Who would have thought that he didn't even come out of the gate? He was very rude!  But Wen Tiren didn't dare to blame him, because he was here to ask for help. He could only smile and say: "Your Majesty fought in the south and north for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. He fought in the east and in the west. He is actually the pillar of the Ming Dynasty. I can only meet the prince once."  It's a great blessing. " "Haha, Mr. Yuan, please come in." Zhang Ke took Wen Tiren to the flower hall. His men put on sumptuous food and wine like butterflies in flowers. Wen Tiren went to the side room and washed up.  , was invited over again.  "You all go down, I and Yuan Fu want to talk alone." "As ordered." Zhang Guochen took the lead, and everyone went down. Only Zhang Ke and Wen Tiren were left. Zhang Ke first toasted Wen Tiren three glasses of wine.  "Yuan Weng has worked hard all the way. What's your purpose in coming?"?I know a thing or two, but I just want to say sorry.  " Wen Tiren almost vomited blood, this guy is too direct! He doesn't even give any face, he is really domineering and arrogant! "Does Yuan Weng think that this king is a little too much?  "How dare you? I don't think it's too late for the prince to make a decision if he listens to his advice."  " "Okay, please enlighten me.  "Zhang Ke said openly. Wen Tiren took a deep breath and said seriously: "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is your duty to be loyal to the country. Now the world is in chaos and bandits are rampant.  Since the death of Mr. Yang Ge, the imperial court could only hope that the prince could clear away the chaos and rectify the country.  All the people in the world are eagerly looking forward to it, and the Holy One is even more eagerly looking forward to it. As long as the prince agrees to send troops and the Holy One agrees to ascend the throne to the prince as the Eastern King, he will enjoy the prince's salary, hereditary succession, and extreme wealth. Does the prince still hesitate?  " Wen Tiren stared at Zhang Ke closely, thinking that if he hesitated on such conditions, he would rebel! If Zhang Ke really wanted to rebel and ran to Tianjin, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Thinking of this, his back was soaked  Above the flower hall, the air suddenly stagnated, and suddenly Zhang Ke laughed, "Yuan Weng must be very familiar with classics and history. Take the end of Qin Dynasty as an example, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were wiped out, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang appeared.  Without Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, can the world be at peace?  Not at all, there will only be more, more ferocious and cunning bandits.  The same is true now. Many of the bandits who took the lead in making trouble have died, including Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang.  Zhang Ke laughed at himself and said: "If I send troops, I will be sure to kill Li Zicheng, but if I kill Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others, can the problem be solved?"  When the time comes, there will still be chaos all over the place, and there will be no way to fight the fox to cause trouble. I will never do such a thankless thing.  "Breathe!" Wen Tiren couldn't help but take a breath of air. He never expected that Zhang Ke could tell such an insight, but after careful consideration, Zhang Ke's words were true. The reason why rogue bandits appeared was because the government forced the people to rebel, and with the constant movement of the sky,  The people took desperate measures because they couldn¡¯t survive. No matter how many people were killed, it would be useless! ¡°My lord, do you think the Ming Dynasty is hopeless?  Zhang Ke smiled and said: "If you want to eliminate the bandits, you must start from the root. The key is how much power the court can give me. Yuan Weng, you'd better go back and discuss it with His Majesty!"  "(To be continued)
