Shi Deyi sat beside Zhang Yue, while Zhang Yue sat in the chariot with his eyes closed to relax.
When Shi De saw Zhang Yue's calm and calm face, he couldn't help but admire him. Only in the stormy waves could he see the true character of a man.
The Fuyan Route Army was defeated and lost 70,000 troops. At this moment, the world needs to rely on the man in front of it.
But Shi Deyi didn't know that Zhang Xianggong's thoughts in front of him were floating in the sky.
The uneasiness in his heart and the uncertainty about his future reminded him of all kinds of absurd jokes.
He had read a joke that taught American netizens how to write online articles. During the Civil War, Lincoln asked me to come out three times... I wanted to laugh when I saw this joke, but now I can't even laugh.
The reality is this... With the defeat of Yanyan Road, will this game change from [Yuanjia Caocao] to [Yuanfeng Caocao]?
In the Civil War, you knew who would win in advance, so you joined the winning side, but there was no precedent for conquering Xia, which had to wait until Genghis Khan.
How can I tell the emperor now?
The chariot drove straight into the imperial city, where Cai Bian, who was repairing his daily life, was already waiting here.
Shi Deyi and Cai Bian helped Zhang Yue get out of the car, and they hurriedly used Qingluo's big umbrella to protect Zhang Yue from the rain. Zhang Yue stood under the umbrella and looked at the numerous palaces that seemed to have been poured by heavy rain.
The rain was so heavy that even mist appeared on the top of the palace. Emperors of the Song Dynasty worshiped Taoism, so the scene really looked like a fairy cave.
"Your Majesty looks forward to your husband as much as you look forward to the rain!"
Cai Bian said.
Zhang Yue looked at Cai Bian. At first, he had high hopes for Cai Jing, but this time he complained of illness and Cai Jing switched to Wang Gui's sect. A few days ago, they had married children.
Cai Bian deeply apologized for this and visited her many times.
Zhang Yue didn't care about Cai Jing's affairs at first, but after many conversations with Cai Bian, he felt that Cai Bian was a talent that could be developed.
"Lao Yuandu has been waiting here for a long time!"
"When I heard about the defeat at Yanyan Road, Your Majesty cried several times a day and couldn't take any medicine..." Cai Bian said to Zhang Yue anxiously.
Zhang Yue sighed after hearing this.
After a while, Zhang climbed up the stairs. The servants all gave Shi Deyi and Cai Bian held up an umbrella. They all followed him up the hall in a hurry.
Cai Bian was watching from the side. Zhang Yue was as dignified as a mountain in His Highness's steps. He couldn't help but admire him. Cai Bian didn't know that Zhang Yue was only calm on the surface.
When they arrived at the back of Funing Palace, everyone knew Zhang Maoze was here, and they greeted Zhang Yue as a courtesy.
"Everyone knows that there is no need to be polite."
Zhang Maoze said: "The Queen Mother had just left and she knew Mr. Zhang and told our family to wait here to see Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Empress Dowager Gao had asked her to persuade the officials to give up the expedition to Xia and negotiate peace with the Westerners.
Zhang Yue asked solemnly and respectfully: "I wonder what the Queen Mother's purpose is?"
Zhang Maoze said: "The Queen Mother asked our family to tell Xianggong Zhang that you are the pillar of the country and have been favored by the three dynasties. At this time when the country is in danger, you need to calm people's hearts and preside over state affairs."
After hearing this, Cai Bian looked at Zhang Yue's expression with excitement. There is no such thing as this kind of favor from a minister.
"Of course, this is only the intention of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, but whether it is war or peace with Xia this time, she and Your Majesty will listen to your decision."
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "The Empress Dowager thinks highly of me and appreciates it. I should discuss this matter with Prime Minister Wang, Yuan Shenzheng and other ministers."
Zhang Maoze said: "Mr. Zhang, let me tell you that our family relies on its elders and sells its elders. The Pillar of Bearing Heaven is not for others to live in."
"What is the so-called 'benevolence'? The word benevolence comes from people, which means a person who stands up. Only when a man can stand up for himself can others stand up. When you need to be benevolent, you must do so!"
"The Queen Mother often talks about the contribution you and Sima Guang made in helping the dragon make decisions when they were in the late emperor's residence. The old slave has known Mr. Zhang for nearly twenty years, and he admires Mr. Zhang very much!"
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Zhang Mao was worthy of his maturity and was the only one who could see through his own mind.
Zhang Yue said: "Thank you for your advice!"
Zhang Maoze said: "Our family is always nagging us. At this time, please don't keep your Majesty waiting for too long!"
Zhang Mao stepped aside and gave way to the passage into the palace.
After Zhang Yue entered the palace, more than ten imperial doctors were stationed here.
When the imperial doctors saw Zhang Yue, they all stood up to inform him of the emperor's condition. Immediately after the empress Xiang Shi and Zhao Rong Zhu Shi knew that Zhang Yue had arrived, they immediately sent their servants to convey two meanings. One was to ask him to take charge of the situation, and the other was to ask him to take charge of the situation.
The second one is a sign of goodwill.
Zhang Yue didn't know when he started to become the target of public attention.
In fact, everyone in the palace could see it clearly. Even in these days, the official family asked Zhang Yue to stay at home, but on the occasion of this defeat, the official family did not ask anyone else to discuss it with Zhang Yue alone.
From this you can know the weight of the opponent.
Cai Bian held the lamp in front and walked with Zhang Yue and Shi Deyi from the corridor to the inner hall.
Cai Bian reached out and pushed open the door of the inner palace. Zhang Yue saw the lifeless emperor lying on the imperial couch through the hanging gauze.
The emperor looked extremely haggard and had his eyes closed. Zhang Yue still underestimated the impact of the defeat of the troops on Yanyan Road on the emperor.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel sad because of the kind encounter between his emperor and his ministers in more than ten years.
The official seemed to hear the sound and asked: "Is this Zhang Qing?"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Yue lifted up the hanging veil and stepped forward to salute: "I, Zhang Yue, have met Your Majesty!"
But when I saw the official beating the couch and hiding his face, he said: "If I had listened to your words earlier, how could I have been defeated today. I lost hundreds of thousands of troops. I don't know how to have the face to see your ministers? To meet the ministers? To meet the Queen Mother?"
Seeing the officials crying bitterly, everyone was at a loss.
Zhang Yue put his hands on the imperial couch and fell to the ground and sobbed: "Why did your Majesty say this? The outcome of the Jingyuan Road is unknown, so how can we say defeat easily? Even if we are not victorious for a while, we can try again in the future. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
"Never give up on your long-term plans because of temporary defeats."
The monarch and his ministers wept for a long time at each other.
The emperor's expression softened slightly and he asked, "Is this what you say from the bottom of your heart?"
Zhang Yue wiped away his tears after hearing this, and asked himself, was he not wrong in this expedition to Xia?
I was also wrong. I thought I couldn't win, so I opposed it from the beginning. If I had supported the government wholeheartedly from the beginning, even if I couldn't win, I wouldn't have been able to lose so miserably.
He only advocated shallow attacks and fortifications, but ignored the official's eagerness to become a promising king.
Cai Bian, who stood aside, was weeping and writing furiously, recording all the conversations between Zhang Yue and the officials in his daily notes.
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty is like this. I have made a mistake. I have heard that 'the wise change according to the times, and the wise control it according to the circumstances.' I always thought that we should not rush to conquer Xia, so we did not do it, but I didn't know that we would not do it."
I want to do it, but I don’t know if I can.”
"This is the foolishness of my inability to adapt."
When the official heard this, he sighed: "It's not your fault, it's my fault. You just talked about the dispute between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu between Chu and Han."
"Liu Bang's conquest of the world is described by hunting. The generals who are able to chase the hunts are considered meritorious dogs, and Xiao He's ability to drive the meritorious dogs is a meritorious man. This is because Xiao He was able to conquer the world."
"No one in this dynasty can match your literary, political and military talents, but I am Xiao He."
After a pause, the official said: "I have been reading poems recently, and I like the sentence that Qing wrote back then, 'It should be noted that the ambition of a young man is soaring into the clouds, and he once promised to be the best in the world.'"
"Do you know that you have already made up your mind to help the world when you were young?"
It should be noted that the ambition of a young man was once promised to be the best in the world’?
Zhang Yue heard this and thought to himself, this was in the past, when he was living idle, he was full of negative emotions, and he also complained full of plans to serve as a palace watcher and go out to raise Dongxiao Palace. If the officials knew his true thoughts, would he be angry?
Have to die?
At this moment, Zhang Yue paid homage and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to me is unparalleled in ancient times and modern times. I dare to work hard and do the work of dogs and horses!"
When the officials heard this, they said happily: "You were ordered to do so at a critical moment. I know that you will live up to my expectations!"
