Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction. In fact, this time Liu Chengfeng went to Xuanfu, how could Zhu Youtang not know the dangers involved? The imperial court had wanted to clean up the border town for a long time, but it had never been able to make up its mind. Why?
?It’s because things in Bian Town are extremely complicated, and a single incident can affect the whole body. A single oversight may lead to the corruption of Bian Town.
For example, Zuo Qiuming, Wang Fen and others dared to mobilize troops and horses out of the border to attack caravans without authorization. This shows that these people are arrogant. In fact, this kind of arrogance was actually encouraged by the imperial court. In order to maintain the stability of border towns, the imperial court often
Connivance and concessions to Bianzhen, sometimes some people in Bianzhen
He actually provoked a mutiny in the army and forced the court to make concessions. The court clearly knew that someone was causing trouble, but had to turn a blind eye and still send people to appease them. Naturally, these border officials were nourished to be extremely arrogant.
, even to the point of being arrogant.
When Liu Chengfeng went to the border town this time, he was lucky enough to suppress these bullets, otherwise it would be questionable whether his life could be saved.
It was precisely because they knew the difficulty of this imperial mission that after the Xuanfu gradually stabilized, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty impeached Liu Chengfeng on the grounds that Liu Chengfeng was inappropriate as a military attache in controlling the Xuanfu, which led to Zhu Youtang
Extreme dissatisfaction, when the border town is corrupt, these people don’t give a shit
Zuo Qiuming was about to rebel if they dared to let one go. They also pretended that they had not seen anything. The commander-in-chief Wang Fen led his troops out of the customs without authorization to hunt down the caravan. No one came to hear about it, but what happened
After things stabilized, these people unanimously agreed to impeach Liu Chengfeng for having evil intentions.
The more ferocious these people impeached, the more Zhu Youtang realized Liu Chengfeng's difficulty, so Liu Chengfeng returned to Beijing without permission. In the past, Zhu Youtang would have reprimanded him anyway, but today he didn't say anything.
.
Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty is not in good health and should take more rest. It is better to do this. I know some medical skills, so let me take your Majesty's pulse."
Empress Zhang couldn't help but smile and said: "I think so too. The imperial doctors can't find a good cure for a while, so I really need you to come and take a look."
Zhu Youtang smiled noncommittally, and when Liu Chengfeng moved a stool and sat in front of the couch, he stretched out his hand to let Liu Chengfeng feel his pulse.
Zhu Youtang's wrists were very slender, perhaps due to overwork, and his health was poor. Liu Chengfeng placed his pulse on his pulse and examined it for a moment. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and then he looked at Zhu Youtang's face.
After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty is suffering from a heart disease, but your body is fine."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Youtang's reaction.
In fact, there was something he didn't say, that is, His Majesty was not sick at all. But of course he couldn't say this. However, Liu Chengfeng checked his pulse and found that there was indeed no illness at all, just some symptoms of physical weakness.
.No wonder the imperial doctors were helpless, unable to detect the disease, and did not dare to say that Zhu Youtang was not sick, so they had no choice but to prescribe some nourishing prescriptions.
But Liu Chengfeng was different. He dared to say things that others didn't dare to say. Although he was brave, he tried to be as tactful as possible when he spoke, saying only that he was heartbroken.
Empress Zhang said from the side: "It's just a heart attack? Why did she suddenly faint? Take another look."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youtang smiled faintly and said: "There is no need to probe any further. He is right. What I have is indeed a heart disease."
Liu Chengfeng sat upright and said: "Let me guess what your Majesty's heart is like?"
Zhu Youtang said calmly: "Just tell me."
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said: "Cabinet Academician Liu Jian is your Majesty's minister. There is a close relationship between the monarch and his ministers. However, in recent days, Your Majesty has noticed that Academician Liu seems to be a little abnormal recently. It seems that Academician Liu has become much alienated from Your Majesty? More
horrible
What's more, once Liu Xueshi renounces his moral character, he has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world. From the cabinet to the six ministries and many governors, they are all closely related to him. Once things reach this worst point, the court will really
Something big is going to happen."
Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief and did not say anything.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "But then again, Your Majesty and Liu Jian have a deep relationship. If Liu Jian is really playing tricks, do you really believe it?"
This sentence speaks to Zhu Youtang's thoughts.
With his wisdom, how could he believe that Liu Jian was causing trouble? It's just that things were too coincidental, so he had to hold back. If he was not afraid of 10,000, he would be afraid of the eventuality. What Zhu Youtang was afraid of was this eventuality, because Liu Jian was a real person.
It’s too tricky. If it really happens, it’s very likely to shake the country. If it happens
If it were anyone else, Zhu Youtang would naturally be able to show the magnanimity of a wise king, but Liu Jian's identity is different. He is the chief assistant, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world. If it is really him who is behind the scenes, then it is not trustworthy. Such a person
Staying one more day may shake the foundation of the country. This is Zhu Youtang's heartache.
He knew clearly that Liu Jian could not do such a thing, and there must be someone behind it, but Zhu Youtang still obediently followed the baton of the person behind it. To be honest, he couldn't bear that one ten thousandth.
There is a possibility of opportunity. In this case, we can only eliminate Liu Jian's influence, let him go home temporarily to recuperate, and let Liu Ji join the cabinet, just to prevent this eventuality.
At this point, the conspiracy has become a conspiracy. Even though he knew it might be a trick, he still had to do it obediently according to other people's methods, because Zhu Youtang couldn't afford to lose.
Zhu Youtang's face turned livid and said, "You continue."
Liu Chengfeng said: "So your Majesty must be ill. This illness can temporarily save you a lot of troubles at the moment, and you don't have to face the civil and military forces of the dynasty. Now that such a big thing has happened, the public is very excited, and you can fish in troubled waters."
There are some, and maybe there are people from Nanchang Mansion in the court who are fanning the flames, which would make it even more difficult. Your Majesty hopes that this 'disease' will divert the attention of the ministers and suppress the current trouble for the time being."
Zhu Youtang finally sighed and said: "What you said is already true. In fact, I have long suspected that Prince Ning is causing trouble, but I have to be on guard." He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I have been on the throne for so many years,
I thought I had seen some strong winds and waves, but I lost my mind this time. Liu Chengfeng, tell me, Liu Jian..."
Liu Chengfeng immediately became alert. This was Zhu Youtang asking himself if Liu Jian was really foolproof. If it was foolproof, he would naturally make a comeback, but what if something really happened? Then what he said now was the guarantee he made.
, may lead to death for himself, he cannot make this guarantee. After all, in this court, people's hearts are separated from each other, and Liu Jian may not instruct his subordinates to make noises in order to recall him.
Liu Chengfeng quickly interrupted Zhu Youtang and said, "Wei Chen doesn't know."
Zhu Youtang sighed and said: "The only thing I can do is to wrong Liu Jian for the time being, but I am also discouraged now. I really don't know how to end it. Prince Ning is an old and cunning person. In recent days, there is also Dongchang,
Jin Yiwei secretly reported that he was accumulating strength in Nanchang Mansion. He seemed to have a plan, but the imperial court was short of armaments.
After being idle for so long, I am now rebelling against them. I am afraid that I will not be able to quell the rebellion in a hurry. Instead, I will be stigmatized for being against the vassal king. So what I mean is that the matter of Prince Ning will have to be delayed. Now
We still have to maintain it, and when the court is ready, it will not be too late to make a final decision."
He licked his lips and continued: "As for Liu Jian, I can't make a comeback for the time being. The top priority right now is to suppress this matter completely, otherwise King Ren Ning will fan the flames behind his back, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Youtang almost didn't dare to think about what happened next.
Liu Chengfeng's eyes flickered and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Since Prince Ning is fanning the flames, instead of passively dealing with the situation, we should take the initiative."
Zhu Youtang looked at Liu Chengfeng and asked lightly: "Would you like to hear the details?"
Liu Chengfeng blushed and said: "Well... what Wei Chen means is that Prince Ning wants to marry the princess off to Wei Chen? He originally wanted to stir up civil strife in the entire court by marrying off his daughter, then...
We just make mistakes, why don't you just make a decree?
, ordered King Ning to bring his daughter to the capital, and said that he would marry the princess to the minister. According to the secret report from Jin Yiwei, King Ning loved this daughter very much, and she was the biological sister of Zhu Chenhao, the high king.
If this decree continues, what will happen to Prince Ning?"
When Liu Chengfeng said this, he was really a little embarrassed. Those who didn't know better thought that he was coveting the beauty of the princess and wanted to do something for personal gain.
There was a glint in Zhu Youtang's eyes.
Liu Chengfeng is indeed a genius sometimes, and things he dare not think about, but now that he thinks about it, it may not be a bad thing. Prince Ning came to sow discord in the name of a married woman. It is said that Prince Ning's daughter is indeed
Very favored by Prince Ning, you
Don't you want to use this name to sow discord? Well, let's just use the trick here and grant the marriage with the next imperial edict. At that time, the initiative will be firmly in the hands of the court. Then we will see if you, Prince Ning, are serious.
I am willing to marry my daughter off.
If you don't want to marry, then you have to search hard for a reason to refuse, but how can this reason be so easy to find? You know, you first proposed the matter of asking the palace for marriage, and now you refuse,
Isn't this just teasing the court?
But if you are really willing to marry, I want to see if you are willing to let go of this daughter. Liu Chengfeng and your Prince Ning have a deep hatred. No matter how cruel and ruthless you are, Prince Ning, are you willing to push your own daughter away?
Into the fire pit?
Thinking of Prince Ning receiving the royal decree of marriage, Zhu Youtang suddenly wanted to laugh. The unhappiness in his heart was suddenly swept away. But the problem came up again. If Prince Ning was really willing to marry the princess,
Even if Liu Chengfeng and Prince Ning are relatives, if so, it may not be a loss to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang looked at Liu Chengfeng and said, "What if King Ning is really willing to marry the princess?"
