Chapter 88: Fighting with Heaven can also Outsmart
"Count the ball! Count the ball!"
Lao Zhu's words to Zhu Yunwen.
Abiao wanted to cry after hearing this.
There is no harm without comparison. It was so heartbreaking that I couldn't help but secretly sigh that this kid Yun Wen was too young after all.
Taoist Master Xiao Wang is also young. He thought he was a bronze man, but he didn't expect him to be a king.
Apart from experience, wisdom is really not something you can buy if you have money.
Silence can also be deafening, Zhu Yunwen felt it from A Biao.
It seems that Zhu Yunwen has been forgotten. There is only a breath of anger left in Lao Zhu's heart, which is sprayed towards Wang Huai. Who makes him thick-skinned?
Lao Zhu forcibly returned to the topic of the weather.
"Didn't you talk about natural disasters? I didn't tell you to shut up! We ask about misfortunes, not blessings. If you fart, just let it go!"
Wang Huai felt angry for a while.
"You are such a bad old man! You drove off the road and you blame me for being handsome!"
"Let me remind you, the climate that began in the Ming Dynasty was called the Little Ice Age. More than two hundred years later, there were droughts, locust plagues, plagues, earthquakes, hailstorms...it just couldn't stop!"
"Your Majesty understands that if this happens, the Ming Dynasty will come to an end because the farmers can't stand it anymore."
Of course Lao Zhu understood. He was a farmer who was so poor that he had only one bowl left, so he had to pick up a dog-beating stick to rebel.
At least the rebels will have food to eat, and maybe they will also solve the problem of personal needs.
When Lao Zhu defected to Guo Zixing, he asked his daughter Ma Meizi to be his wife. From then on, Lao Zhu had a horse to ride day and night.
Looking at the cake that he couldn't swallow, Lao Zhu gradually understood Wang Huai's deep meaning, but he still got angry.
"You bought a cake just to make us angry?"
Wang Huai smiled slightly.
"The enemy will outwit you if you can't defeat him. If you can't defeat him, you can outwit him."
Abiao leaned forward.
"Appreciate further details!"
Wang Huai stared at the silent Lao Zhu and showed his trump card.
"The Qianzhou Island offshore project can bring back potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., which are buried in the soil. They can withstand all kinds of weather and save hundreds of millions of people. You actually want to kill my soldiers and seize my guns. There is no calculation in this sea."
!”
It was a rare occasion for Lao Zhu to laugh with him.
"When an avalanche hits, it will inevitably smash a few houses. If you don't move, you can just go to Qianzhou Island."
Wang Huai beat the snake and put it on the stick.
"Then you still have to cut down my soldiers, take away my guns, and treat me without obeying the propaganda?"
Lao Zhu instantly turned his face.
"You kid, don't open or lift any pot. I won't let you go to Qianzhou Island. I will still treat you and refuse to listen to the propaganda. I can do whatever I like!"
Wang Huai's wings are not missing. Zhu Yunwen's plan failed at least half, and he was abandoned by the emperor. This was like lifting a rock, and even his legs were broken!
Grandpa Huang was furious at this time. What he said was right if he didn't say it, but it was wrong if he said it. Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and his face turned earth-colored, and he didn't dare to express his anger.
Wang Huai's next words let him know what complete failure meant.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the domain can be reduced, but now is not the time."
"Why?"
Wang Huai spoke slowly.
"When His Majesty is deploying troops, he happens to encounter a natural disaster... If the front line is unstoppable, there will be no problem."
"If they can't stop Meng Yuan's iron hoof, and Duo'er is just a surprise soldier, they will march straight into the Central Plains."
"Do you know what it means to cut off the feudal clan?"
After Wang Huai finished speaking, A Biao took a breath of air.
"With all the elites on the front line, there will be no vassal king in the Central Plains to resist."
Lao Zhu shook his head.
"Since ancient times, the imperial power has produced iron blood. Even if the long knife to cut down the vassal has not yet fallen, they have already begun to take precautions."
"Not only will the vassal king not resist, he will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then he will take advantage of the imperial court's illness to take his life!"
As Lao Zhu said, Zhu Yunwen seemed to have gathered the courage for a long time to speak.
"Grandpa Huang..."
Lao Zhu was startled and then came to his senses.
"Have you let out the news about the vassal reduction?"
Zhu Yunzhen's scalp was numb and he could only answer truthfully.
"Sun'er just issued ultimatums to each vassal king. This was also taught by Huang Zicheng."
Lao Zhu was too lazy to be angry and sneered.
"Haha, the news is faster than the decree. Let the news be released first, and the rice will be cooked. Now I don't even have to issue the decree."
Seeing Wang Huai pretending to be dead again, Lao Zhu became angry again.
"Is your boy mute again?"
Wang Huai looked unhappy.
"Don't take all your anger out on me! Isn't this simple? Just reassure me, and the rumors of cutting down the vassal will be self-defeating."
Zhu Yunwen was speechless and choked. No one could understand it more painfully than him at this moment. Being scolded by the emperor was also a blessing.
But this kid didn't care about him, he fought back every step of the way, and Grandpa Huang even used him as a treasure.
Lao Zhu went straight to the point.
"To appease, how to appease, let's issue a decree?"
Wang Huaiwei thought for a moment and sorted out his words.
"You told me to leave, and I left; you told me to come back, and I'm sorry, but I left and couldn't come back."
"The best way is to ignore the ultimatum and rumors, and just pretend it's nothing."
"Use practical actions to get the vassal princes to participate in the Northwest War. You only need to send one or two representatives, such as Lao Si and King Jin."
"This proves that the imperial court trusts and relies on the feudal king, and the rumors of cutting down the feudal clan are self-defeating."
Wang Huaiyan said, Zhu Yunwen felt that he had received a critical hit of 10,000 points, and his whole body was in bad shape.
Adopting Wang Huai's strategy, the emperor quietly withdrew his plan to cut down the vassal vassal, but his grandson actually took the blame.
After disposing of the navy and releasing the dove that killed the feudal lord, the grandson lost his prestige, so where was his face?
The matter of abolishing Jinyiwei is no longer of any concern, let alone counting the ball!
Count the ball! The emperor's grandson may withdraw tomorrow!
To put it another way, even if you can barely keep the position of the grandson of the emperor, if you ascend the throne, your prestige will be completely shattered. Who will listen to what you say?
The cause of all this is not Huang Zicheng, but Wang Huai!
Lao Zhu swallowed the last bite of the Taishi cake, presented a cup of tea in front of him, reached out to take it, and saw that it was Zhu Yunwen.
His hand froze for a while, then he finally took it, took a sip, put it down, and spoke calmly.
"It's not a sin for you to be close to Huang Zicheng, but it's wrong to follow his advice. Learn from your father, be tolerant in both civil and military affairs, and listen to both."
"The two parties in Huaixi and East Zhejiang are fighting. The person who agrees with both sides is your father. He has a broad mind and a good balance. Go back and learn slowly."
After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he waved his hand and signaled Zhu Yunwen to retreat.
Wang Huai opened his palms like magic, and a bead rolled out of his palms.
It was big, round, and white, but it no longer glowed.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the national treasure Suihou Pearl?"
Zhu Yunwen was thinking about Suihou Zhu, his grandfather and grandson, who came over to pay attention. Abiao was well-informed.
"The pearl of Suihou is pure white, and the spiritual dragon is hidden in it. There is light at night, like the light of the moon, it can candle a room, and the diameter of the pearl is full. For two thousand years, the dragon and the light have passed away."
Wang Huai just smiled and said nothing.
Lao Zhu glanced at it, not interested.
"That's it? What kind of national utensil is worse than a pearl? Yun Wen loves to take it. The matter of Qianzhou Island cannot be discussed further."
Zhu Yunwen picked up a consolation prize and regarded it as a big golden egg. He bowed to the ground and bowed to Lao Zhu to quit.
Wang Huai noticed that in front of his hall, an unimaginable scene flashed across his face.
Zhu Yunwen is not very capable, but he is good at playing, but not everything can be eaten by his mouth...
"You said the calamity will last three hundred years. Even potatoes and sweet potatoes can only last three to five years. How will they break after that?"
Lao Zhu’s question hit the nail on the head, give it a thumbs up! This chapter has been completed!
