Chapter 1128: To fight, or not to fight?
Who can guarantee that Wu Zheng will not suddenly order the massacre of the royal family?
To put it bluntly, when Wu Zheng takes action, even if the clans far away in Yingtian Prefecture want to interfere, they will not be able to interfere at all. Needless to say, they are powerless to interfere.
In fact, they just shouted, if they started fighting, these wine bags would probably be worse than Zhu Yihai.
The clan only suffered the loss of Wu Zheng's house scout, and took the opportunity to take revenge, which was reasonable.
Therefore, when he heard that Qian Sule was about to resign and return to Hangzhou Prefecture, he handed over countless memorandums, and strongly asked the emperor not to agree, and seized Qian Sule as hostages and put pressure on Wu Zheng. Some of them had already advised to use troops to Nan and completely resolve the problem of Wu's big dispute.
Seeing this kind of memorial, Zhu Ma couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turns out that these royal families thought they were living in the reign of Taizu and Chengzu.
The court has indeed formed an army of more than 100,000 and is currently training, which is also due to the integration of bankrupt bankers by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and the confiscation of the royal family involved in the case by Wu Zheng in Beijing, which allowed the court to solve the urgent problem and have the financial resources to expand the army.
To go south, you are not seeking death.
Zhu Mai naturally would not pay attention to such a life-and-death note, because there are not many such people, and they are just some people who suffer a great loss from Wu Zheng and want the court to help vent their anger.
But Zhu Mai also knew that in the face of the anger of the clan, he could not suppress it. He became the eldest princess and wanted to break up with the clan, which would inevitably lead to an uncontrollable and difficult-to-final civil strife.
Zhu Ma wanted to deal with it coldly, but she didn't agree or object, so she dragged it.
Therefore, I will not postpone the request for resignation, not postponement, not agree, and not express my opinion.
As long as it is delayed for a month or February, when Hangzhou Prefecture decides on the entire incident, everything will return to its original state.
Although Zhu Mai also hated Wu Zheng, he hated him for his determination and ruthlessness.
But Zhu Mai was deeply convinced of Wu Zheng. One was that Wu Zheng would not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the other was that Wu Zheng would not kill the royal family without reason.
Therefore, although news from Hangzhou Prefecture came, and although the clans kept urging Zhu Ma to use troops south.
But Zhu Meiyu has always insisted that the army stopped in Changzhou Prefecture and did not even approach Suzhou Prefecture (Suzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court).
Zhu Mai didn't want to expand the incident to the point where she triggered a civil war. Although she wanted to destroy Wu Zheng's forces in one battle, she didn't want to kill Wu Zheng, even if her body was hurt.
This seems contradictory, but it is not.
What Zhu Mama wanted to destroy was not Wu Zheng's individual, but Wu Zheng's power.
However, it is definitely impossible to do it at the moment. Zhu Mai is very clear about this. If the Yixing Dynasty wants to survive and develop, it is still inseparable from Wu Zheng.
But now, Qian Sule is blocking in front of Fengtian Gate.
What is it called falling in front of court officials who are coming in and out?
The premiere resolutely asked for resignation when the emperor refused to see him. What is this?
In the face of dilemma, Huang Daozhou came.
Zhu Mai quickly sent someone to call Huang Daozhou in.
"Huang Aiqing, is the prime minister still here?" At this time, Zhu Ma was looking forward to Qian Sule going back quickly.
Huang Daozhou nodded and said, "The chief minister is still here."
Zhu Mai sighed lightly: "What should I do?"
Huang Daozhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not a solution to drag it like this."
"What good advice do you have?"
Huang Daozhou smiled bitterly, "Qian Xisheng has a strong temperament and a stubborn temper. If he is stubborn, he may not be able to pull back even if he is a cow... In the opinion of his ministers, it is better to let him go. You Dao is a tough guy who is not sweet."
Zhu Mai frowned and said, "Huang Xiang has thought that when he left, who will take over the position of the chief minister? Besides, how to appease the clan relatives, they are clamoring to ask me to use troops to Nan."
Huang Daozhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Wang Yi can take over as the chief minister. As for his position as the chief censor, he can temporarily be vacant and promoted Dong Zhining to deputy left censor and temporarily consular affairs."
Zhu Mai thought for a while and said, "Have Huang Xiang ever thought about regaining the position of Chief Supervisor?"
Huang Daozhou smiled bitterly and said, "I dare not think, I don't want to think, I am powerless to take responsibility, I hope Your Majesty will be sympathetic."
Zhu Ma looked at Huang Daozhou apologetically and said, "Before, I was thinking about it and I felt wronged."
Huang Daozhou shook his head and said, "The court's army was transferred to the south. Although it was stopped in Changzhou Prefecture, anyone with the discerning eyes could guess the court's intentions. Although the talent of the King of Wu could definitely guess His Majesty's last resort, but the people under the General's Mansion might not understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts. If they really make trouble, the King of Wu would not be able to stop him. It would be impossible for the King of Wu to personally go to Jiaxing Prefecture to strictly control the guards of the Northern Expedition Army? Once the court's army advances to Suzhou Prefecture, the two armies will definitely have friction. In this way, small matters will become too big and out of control. Therefore, I took the initiative to resign as the chief minister and Qian Xisheng took over. This is not for the King of Wu, but for the subordinates of the King of Wu. Only in this way can the situation be controlled. This is the official's advice, and this is no wonder Your Majesty."
Zhu Mai nodded and said, "Huang Aiqing is a successful country and is actually the pillar of the court... Alas, I sometimes wonder why all the loyal ministers and generals have been returned to him? Can the Mingshi really keep the hearts of wise men in the world?"
Huang Daozhou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is too worried. The court is now full of talents. However, the scholars selected by various governments have not yet governed the country, and their experience in governing the country must be used in time to make great use of it."
"I really don't want to fight with him!" Zhu Ma's emotions fluctuated a little, "But I can't see the Ming Dynasty withering, and I can't bear to see the ancestral temple that has been destroyed for three hundred years before my eyes...."
Huang Daozhou dared not respond and stood with his head down.
Zhu Mai took a deep breath and said, "Huang Aiqing is right. The forced melon is not sweet... I passed on my oral order. The chief minister Qian Sule asked for resignation. I promised it. He enthroned the founder of Chengyi Bo, rewarded the python robe, and gave him a thousand gold. He was escorted from the capital with a chariot...."
"No." Huang Daozhou was anxious, "Your Majesty, you must not."
Zhu Moe was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Your Majesty, now there are many relatives in the court. If Your Majesty really rewards such a huge amount of money, it is afraid that it will cause an unexpected accident."
"But... Qian Sule is unable to destroy his family. In the past five years since he was promoted from Yin County, he has made great contributions to the country and the court. Now he insists on resigning from office and returning home. If I treat him with great favor and do not give him a generous reward, wouldn't it be a shame for those who are loyal and righteous in the world?"
Huang Daozhou sighed lightly: "Your Majesty is right, but even if you want to reward, you shouldn't be so popular at this time. People are jealous... Qian Xisheng went south after all, and now the two armies are only separated from Suzhou Prefecture. If you are not careful, it will be a big disaster... I personally think that the matter of rewarding Qian Xisheng must be low-key, and it is best not to reward. Your Majesty just agrees that Qian Xisheng's request to resign and let him leave quietly. In this way, it will be beneficial to the country and the court."
