Chapter 43 Don't be reserved! Boldly speak out your dreams!
Dong You, who had been so relieved just now, started coughing violently after being stunned.
He lay on his back again in the straw pile and kept beating his heart with his fists, "whooping", "whooping" and breathing heavily like a bellows.
"Your Highness... I seem to be... cough cough cough... not feeling well."
Too careless.
Even though His Highness the Crown Prince has settled everything in the city, he still can't find the rules for doing things.
He thought that His Highness the Crown Prince knew the importance of appointing official positions, so he promoted people who would be absolutely loyal to His Highness at this special moment, regardless of their background.
Having been promoted from a poor family and a servant, His Majesty will only be loyal to His Majesty when he comes back and use his power to pave the way for the future struggle for that position... His Highness is indeed far-sighted.
Unexpectedly!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually treats the appointment and removal of official positions as child's play.
From this point of view, what Lin Goudan said, "His Highness only glanced at me in the crowd, and then made me a high official" was not a joke, but the truth!
"Hey, Grand Master's illness is indeed serious. Why don't you go to the Political Affairs Hall to sit down and help me deliver a message to His Majesty who is going north?"
"Report? What letter?"
Dong You was overwhelmed by this sudden change of topic.
The second prince bought medicine, His Highness divided the fields, and informed the powerful families that after pulling out their rice seedlings, compared with previous years, His Highness had more grain and His Highness had less to make up for it...
Could it be that while he was having dinner and being besieged, something shocking happened again?
"That's it..."
Zhang Junlin leaned close to Dong You's ear, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he spoke solemnly about Xi Chu's intention to send out assassins.
Want to send out eighth-level warriors as assassins to assassinate His Highness?!
Dong You's face was ashen, and he looked indeed as if he was terminally ill.
"Your Highness wants to ask His Majesty to send experts to protect us...but the strongest warrior in South Vietnam should be Your Highness."
Dong You's eyes were red with anxiety, an idea came to his mind, and he blurted it out.
"If His Highness dies, it doesn't matter how well arranged Jinling and Chu County are. Your Highness, please find a reason to avoid the disaster first. The rest will be taken care of by the old minister. I don't believe that I have 50,000 prisoners in my hands.
That Xichu dares to fight head-on with Lao Chen!"
I don't dare.
That's why we sent assassins to capture the thieves, capture the king first.
Zhang Junlin knew in his heart that the Grand Master was loyal and brave in protecting his master, and he did not say anything sensational about it.
"It's impossible to run away. Grand Master, don't worry. Regarding the assassin... I have my own arrangements."
After fooling around casually, he revealed the most important arrangement.
"I want you to take the opportunity to explain the seriousness of this matter to the emperor. If the assassin comes to kill me and then kills him, shouldn't he run faster?"
"ah?"
Dong You was stunned.
Zhang Junlin didn't give him any time to respond, and continued: "In addition, the Western Chu Kingdom led a large army to attack Jinling without even bringing food. I feel that their goal is to be bandits, maybe with Da Sheng.
When the war begins and we are short of military rations, we come to South Vietnam to search for them."
"So you tell the emperor, don't take too much food with you when you leave. Otherwise, if the assassin kills me and finds it troublesome, he doesn't want to kill him, and then goes all the way north to take his head for the rations. This... is really too much.
It’s terrible.”
Zhang Junlin knew that Dong You was protecting his position and did not pretend to speak in official terms.
"Remember, the letter must make the current critical situation in Jinling more serious. The food shipped north by those powerful families requires half of it."
"We also need to find a place for the emperor to go down, and we can't let him offend anyone... I saw that the second prince said that the donation of one hundred thousand stones of food could be used. Their father is kind and his son is filial. The emperor raised food and the second prince only donated one hundred thousand stones.
Thousands of stones, and even one hundred thousand stones were donated to the people and soldiers without even taking a breath."
"They have a deep love for each other. Chen's donation of food was only a thousand dan, but he turned around and stocked up 60,000 dan in his own granary... Aren't they just waiting to donate to His Majesty in order to fight the hard times together?"
The tall hats were smashed down one after another, making Dong You feel like stars were shining in his eyes, let alone the person involved himself.
He thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had previously let go of those powerful and aristocratic families to carry grain to the north to deliver messages, and had also sent someone to escort Chen Da to His Majesty in advance to borrow grain.
At that time, I was worried that Empress Chen would be blowing off the rumors to His Majesty, and that it would be unfair to borrow food later.
But now, coupled with what the second prince has done, based on your majesty’s suspicious temperament, you will definitely feel that Chen and the second prince are trying to hide it from your majesty and have other plans!
"His Highness forced the Chen family to donate food, and then asked His Majesty to use this as an excuse to make the powerful people donate food, making the Chen family a target in the eyes of the powerful people."
"Don't talk nonsense. The second prince bought medicine at a low price and offended the Zhang family. It was his own doing. This palace did not make him a target."
Zhang Junlin talked nonsense seriously.
Dong You was so impressed.
high.
One link after another.
Linked together.
"Did His Highness think of letting the Second Prince or the Chen family take the blame when he sent Chen Dabei to report the news?"
Dong You kept this sentence in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it back.
There are some words that God knows and earth knows, and it is enough that He knows that Your Highness knows.
"Go ahead."
Zhang Junlin pushed Dong You and smiled calmly.
"There are not many people who can make me suffer."
As soon as these words came out.
Dong You once again saw those job seekers surrounded by wolves.
I don’t cough anymore and my heart doesn’t hurt anymore.
He knew that His Highness already had a solution.
"My lord, I sincerely abide by Crown Prince Yi's decree."
Dong Yougang received the decree.
Everyone raised their ears but couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but they still unanimously gave way to a broad road.
Let this worried and difficult prince and grand master leave.
As long as Dong You was not around, they could make it happen, even if the prince was joking just now, when he casually wanted to reward someone with the title of Six Ministers.
"Okay, the Grand Master has left, and we can continue to discuss the issues we just discussed freely."
Zhang Junlin finally sent away the grand master whose mental endurance still needed to be strengthened.
If he hadn't been worried that the Grand Master would lose his temper and become seriously ill due to his next actions, he would have dealt with this group of young people who had high ambitions and low abilities first, so that the Grand Master would be happy.
"Sir, it's been so long, have you decided on your dream?"
Zhang Junlin looked at the young man whose cheeks were red with excitement and looked at him like a fool from a landlord's house, and greeted him with a smile.
"Reporting to Your Highness, I, I want to be the Minister of Household Affairs."
The young man was still a little shy.
When everyone heard this, many of them turned red-faced, anxious and angry, and quite dissatisfied.
If His Highness the Crown Prince, a high-level warrior, was not in charge here, I am afraid that these people would have started fighting over the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
"The Minister of Household Affairs is in charge of money, and he is a lucrative job. Your dream is quite pragmatic."
Zhang Junlin's sincere praise made the young man feel a little embarrassed.
He quickly defended himself.
"I have only been managing finances with my father since I was a child. I have experience in this area. I want to do my best for Jinling, South Vietnam and His Royal Highness."
Listen!
The situation suddenly opened up!
Zhang Junlin couldn't help but applaud and praise him.
"Loyal minister! This is a loyal minister! I have decided that from now on, I will order you... What is your name?"
"My name is Jin Yinduo."
Chapter completed!
