Chapter 919

Zhao Bingxuan summoned all the ministers to the city tower to accompany them to enjoy the lanterns, and for a while the people were in a state of excitement. During the early years, during the Lantern Festival, the emperor would summon important officials to appreciate the lanterns together. However, it was all the patents of civil officials at that time, and the military officials had no share. This was even more glorious than attending the dynasty meeting, which attracted the cheers of the army. However, in the eyes of others, there were different interpretations.

But for the scholars and officials, there were only two prime ministers summoned this time, and three masters of the little emperor. The warriors who went upstairs were basically among the senior generals in the capital, from the Privy Councilor Zhang Shijie. In this way, the civil officials were more like foils, and the protagonists were those martial artists. This was in line with the rumored incident where the young emperor was dissatisfied with the repeated opposition to him and wanted to use the warriors to take charge of politics, which made them feel panicked.

However, for ordinary people, this is indeed a good signal, especially those scholars, who have studied hard for many years but often fail the exams and everything goes in vain. Those who participate in the imperial examination cannot say that they have no intention of serving the country, but they are more of a way out to shine their families and find a way out, but this road is too difficult. But now they seem to have seen another way out, and they can still stand out in the army, be favored by the emperor, sit on the high platform, and be admired by all people.

In addition, after taking the martial arts examination, you can still obtain the same qualification as Jinshi after completing your studies and have the opportunity to transfer funds. The military generals above the building, such as Jiang Jin, Zhao Mengjin and others, can not only go on horseback to command the army, but can dismount to govern the people, and are all officials in charge of the rule. The military generals stationed in various prefectures along the river also hold two positions, which is a little higher than that of civil officials, and are also first-class in the treatment. If you are admitted to martial arts and join the army, you may be able to find a good future.

Of course, Zhao Bing also knew that every move he made in front of the public, his words and deeds would be seen by those who were interested and guessed his intentions. This time, he broke the convention and summoned all generals to go upstairs to appreciate the lanterns, with the intention of demonstrating to the scholars and seeking to change the current passive situation and forcing them to compromise. However, this is also a risky act. He knew that Confucianism was considered an alternative religion in later generations, and it could also be said to be able to create believers with extreme thoughts. If the ruling scholar-official class opposed him in one's voice, it would be a great trouble.

After the ministers went upstairs to see each other, they took their place under the guidance of the eunuchs and presented them with wine and fruits, which seemed to be a scene of the king and the ministers having fun together. The generals could not hide their excitement. Most of them started their own family with the little emperor. They knew that without their trust and support, they would be a soldier who would be a penniless military man for life, and they would not have the glory of today.

Furthermore, the generals knew that their interests had formed a community of interests when they entered the commander's mansion, and they were all glorious. Although the little emperor and the scholar group cannot be said to be as powerful as water and fire, they were also competing in secret. And they also knew that if His Majesty surrendered, their fate would be extremely tragic. Therefore, only by standing with the little emperor and absolute loyalty and obedience could change his passive situation, and for His Majesty, he also won the victory of this political struggle for himself.

Therefore, after the generals went upstairs, they not only showed great respect, but also frequently went to the imperial court to congratulate and toast, showing the world the unbreakable political alliance with the little emperor, and their determination to defend the little emperor without hesitation. Zhao Bing drank the wine and did not refuse, but also responded one by one, so as to show his favor to the generals.

"Go and invite the three masters here!" After drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, Zhao Bing was already a little drunk, but he was not yet confused. He found that Ying Jieyan was looking at him frequently, as if he had something to say, and turned his face to order Wang Dedao.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No gifts, give a seat!" Zhao Bing stood up to greet him, and personally set up the seat for the festival, let him sit next to him, and instructed Wang De to put down the bead curtains and curtains of the colored shed. For a moment, the outside world could only see the figures in the shed swaying, but he didn't know what was going on inside.

"I have been taught by the three gentlemen for ten years since I was young, and I have never left each other in times of crisis. Now I can control the world with my own gratitude. My gratitude is beyond words!" Zhao Bing poured wine for the three masters, and first drank a glass and said.

"Your Majesty is so serious, it is my duty to assist you!" Ying Jieyan and others also drank all the wine in the glass and said.

"Mr. This is beyond my retribution for this. I think that when the building is overturned, many people will either surrender to the enemy or treason or avoid the countryside. Only Mr. is equal to the chaotic world, not afraid of difficulties and follow me to a barbaric land with uncertain future. This kind of friendship can be seen in the world, and how many people in ancient times can match it!" Zhao Bing picked up the wine glass and toasted the three gentlemen with a glass, and said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am the people of the Song Dynasty and have received the emperor's kindness. I should be loyal to the emperor and the country!" Jiang Qi said politely when he saw the little emperor's eyes.

"Sir, don't be too polite. I treat everyone in the city as my family. I'm so disgusted!" Zhao Bing hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Your Majesty has said that there will be a difference between the king and the ministers. How can you take responsibility?" Deng Guangjian said politely again.

"Mr.'s temperament has not changed at all for so many years!" Zhao Bing smiled bitterly and said, "As the saying goes, "As the saying goes, one day, you will be a teacher and a father for life, you will certainly be able to bear it."

"Your Majesty is happy today. Zhongfu doesn't have to take the airs of a censor, and he has to advise everything." Jiang Xu patted Deng Guangjian on the shoulder and said.

"Haha, that's right. I always feel that Your Majesty is still young. I can't help but think about teaching a lesson in my words, but I forgot that time passes by. Your Majesty is already an adult and has personally watched the state affairs." Deng Guangjian smiled mockingly after hearing this.

"Sir, this is wrong again. If I am wrong, even if I am a hundred years old, I will still have to teach you a lesson." Zhao Bing recommended to Deng Guang and said.

"What Your Majesty taught me is that you should punish me, and you should punish me!" Deng Guangjian picked up the wine glass and drank it all the time.

"Your Majesty is happy today, and you should take the opportunity to drink as you please, don't drink too much!" Jiang Yu saw that the little emperor had already drunk more than a dozen cups and was drunk, so he spoke out.

"Oh, after I took power, I felt that I was no longer as happy as Qiongzhou. I was always walking on thin ice and people holding elbows everywhere. Instead, it would be better to be drunk and avoid trouble!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and looked at the wine glass in front of him.

"I know that Your Majesty is worried about national affairs and wants to make progress, but he is in trouble again, but he should not be discouraged and indulge in things in his cup." Ying Jieyan frowned and said.

"Yes, I still wake up tomorrow. Isn't it a waste to drink too much?" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Your Majesty should put national affairs first and do not have any disagreement!" Ying Jieyan knew that the young emperor had been worried about state affairs and family affairs recently, so he was inevitably uneasy and worried that he would go to extremes, so he comforted him slowly.

"What the sir said is right. If you stop and keep your mind going, it's time to make a decision!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"I think your majesty should take a look at this memorial first, and then make a decision!" Ying Jieyan heard that the little emperor's words meant the matter of the Wu family in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he knew that he was still undecided at the moment. He thought about taking out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Oh, who wrote this memorial? It will be handed over by the teacher!" Zhao Bing took over and asked.

"This is a memorial to apologize from Duke Xu!" Ying Jieyan replied.

"Why are there anything urgent to report to the Secretary of the Communist Party of China without passing the Secretariat? " Zhao Bing put down the memorial again and said.

"Your Majesty, it's the Shangyuan Festival holiday. All ministries and provinces have sealed them. Duke Xu gave them to his ministers for transfer!" Ying Jieyan replied.

"The Wu family seems to be very smart. They can actually send this fake gentleman's hand to the imperial court!" Zhao Bing shook his head gently and said.

"Your Majesty, don't be too careful. I just worked with Duke Xu in Huaixi. I have no deep friendship with him, nor do I have any intention of interfering with Your Majesty." Ying Jieyan waved his hand and said.

"Sir, don't explain this matter, this matter... I am just trying to explain it with three gentlemen. Since this is the case, there is no need to wait for tomorrow!" Zhao Bing knew that Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang both had old friends with the Wu family. At this moment, Ying Jieyan passed on his letters on his behalf. It can be seen that the Wu family's connections in the court were far beyond his knowledge, so he hesitated and said.

"I wish to share your worries for Your Majesty!" the three of them said with politeness.

"For the life of a rebellious son, the Wu family is willing to change the title of the Manchus. At the same time, those who enter the clan are willing to retire and return home. Is this worthwhile?" Zhao Bing started reading the memorial and said disdainfully.

"There should be eliminated sooner or later, otherwise it will affect the family. Furthermore, it means that he will be arrogant and arrogant, and slander the emperor. He should be judged as a crime of disrespect. Such unforgivable crimes cannot be compensated by official titles!" Deng Guangjian said disdainfully after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Wu Shuo is not the parent-child of Duke Xu, but an adopted son. His father had already died in the battle between Huaixi and the Mongol Yuan. The Wu family tried hard to protect him, thinking that he wanted to fulfill the friendship of his ancestors..." Ying Jieyan understood the family affairs of the Wu family better and briefly explained the relationship between them.

"Haha, it turns out that there are so many joints in it. It's a pity that his father's wisdom was destroyed by the hands of this playboy!" Zhao Bing said dryly after hearing this.

"In this way, the Wu family is also kind and loyal. They are willing to destroy the future and wealth of the Manchu children for a adopted son!" Deng Guangjian was slower after hearing this, and he said that he was quite appreciating his actions.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. His memorial seems to be sincerely apologizing, but there is a faint sense of coercion!" Jiang Yu took the memorial and read it, hesitating and said.

"What do Zong Bao say?" Ying Jieyan asked in surprise.

"Duke Xu repeatedly apologized for his crimes in his memorials and repeatedly mentioned that Wu Shuo was a loyal and wise man. This is a secret mystery. If Your Majesty does not forgive his crimes, he will be famous for killing descendants of loyal and brave men, which will arouse the doubts of the warriors, and suspect that Your Majesty treats the promises of the martyrs, and thus force Your Majesty to forgive his crimes!" Jiang Qi said.

"Well, I listened to Zong Bao's words, but there was a threat. The Wu family was too arrogant, called apology, but it was intended to intimidate!" Ying Jieyan Yi said a little annoyed.

"The Wu family has mixed forces in Jiangnan, and there are many children who have entered the government. If they all retire and return home, it will inevitably cause shock in the local officialdom. This is clearly a pretending gesture. His Majesty has to surrender to them in order to stabilize the court. This is a sinister heart." Deng Guangjian's words were even more intense and he said angrily.

"I think the Wu family apologized in this situation, and it may not be necessary to threaten public opinion!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment, and thought for a while.

"Your Majesty's intention is that the Wu family is not threatening the powerful?" Jiang Qi looked at the little emperor in surprise and said. He felt that the style of painting had changed a little too quickly. The little emperor was trying to eliminate the Wu family just now, but why did his attitude change in a blink of an eye?

"I think the Wu family's apology at this time was apology. It was Zhuang Gong who danced a sword, and it was intended to be Pei Gong. It was actually fake to protect Wu Shuo, but it was real to protect the queen!" Zhao Bing picked up the wine glass and sniffed.

"Well, Your Majesty's deep considerations." Ying Jieyan nodded, and saw that Jiang Yan and Deng Guangjian seemed to be unable to understand, and stroked their beards and said, "With the power of the Wu family in the capital, it should not be difficult to find out the original intention of Your Majesty to lead the troops back to the palace. And if Wu Shuo causes trouble, Your Majesty will decide to kill him, which is also well-known. In this way, the Wu family cannot not realize that Your Majesty intends to depose the queen and eliminate his own authority. If they still dare to threaten him at this time, it will only make Your Majesty even more angry. They will definitely uproot the Wu family at any cost, so they dare not do so."

"The reason why the Wu family has been able to remain popular in the fifth generation of Jiangnan is because of their children who can become officials on behalf of others. Now they are willing to sacrifice their future for their children to protect an unworthy child who commits a serious crime. In any case, it is extremely unreasonable. But they do this at all costs, as His Majesty said, for the Queen."

"Well, listening to the advice of the governor will also make me suddenly enlightened." Jiang Yu also figured it out at this moment, and then said, "If Your Majesty killed Wu Shuo, he would have a slight ties with the Wu family and would have to be angry with the queen. In addition, the queen had been ahead, and it would be a foregone conclusion that the Wu family would be demoted. If an unfilial son died, it would not affect the status of the Wu family at all. However, if he left the queen, it would mean that his children had lost their holy heart and their children's path to advance would be blocked. If the queen was saved, the Wu family would still have hope of recovery, and could even go to the level!"

"Oh, so the Wu family can last for a hundred years, but it has outstanding features." Deng Guangjian also realized something, "but the Wu family has a huge power in the south of the Yangtze River, and has inner palace as a helper, and there are arrogant words. If they are not suppressed and allowed to grow, they will inevitably affect the court."

"Zhongfu has said it too much!" Seeing the little emperor's face hesitation, although they were His Majesty's master and close minister, the Wu family was also a royal relative. Jiang Yu couldn't help but worry that he would anger His Majesty and touch Deng Guang's recommendation.

"Three gentlemen, the Wu family has now become an obstacle to my innovation and must be eliminated. But now using force is afraid that it will be contrary to the harmony of heaven. Why not use the plan? " Zhao Bing seemed to have not heard it and pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty thought he had pardoned Wu Shuo and ordered all the children of the Wu family to retire and remove them from the court to weaken their strength!" Jiang Xu said.
