Chapter 173 The View of Most People
On the evening of that day, Wang Qia, Minister of War, hurried to the residence of Zhou Shipu, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Wang Qia said worriedly: "What is the purpose of Sun Chengzong sending troops to the border now? I really can't see through it, can't figure it out, and can't make sense."
The existence of the Privy Council was like a thorn in the throat to the Ministry of War, no wonder Wang Qia was so frowning.
The bigwigs of the Ministry of War are also worried that the Ministry of War will be undermined.
After all, there are limited locations and resources in the court. If you are not with you, you will be stolen by others.
Zhou Shipu smiled and said, "Wang Butang is too worried. Sun Chengzong is very cautious. He is definitely not his intention to act like this."
"you mean?"
Zhou Shipu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "That must be His Majesty's will."
"Then why did Your Majesty rush to dispatch troops?"
“There is only one purpose.”
"oh?"
"Attack the Kalaqin tribe."
Wang Qia was shocked. This was a major national military and political matter. Such a major matter, Your Majesty would not discuss with the ministers?
Wang Qia didn't believe it.
"Since the end of the previous year, the imperial court continued to support the Kalaqin tribe, and many soap and other commodities were continuously transported outside the pass."
"How did you know?" Wang Qia was even more confused, "Why has this important matter never heard anyone mention?"
"It's normal for the Tribe Do not know about it. At this time, it's probably a top secret. I occasionally glanced at Bibu Do and found it."
"Since the imperial court strongly supports the Kalaqin tribe, why is His Majesty secretly sending troops to attack now?"
"It must be that the Kalaqin tribe did not keep its promise. Your Majesty was furious. This matter was related to Your Majesty's face, and Your Majesty was not easy to say it. As a minister, don't expose the shortcomings of the king and father."
Only then did Wang Qia realize that this must be the case.
His Majesty rewarded the Kalaqin tribe, but the other party was rebellious. The emperor could not bear the face and hurriedly sent troops to attack.
"This matter is related to the country, how can we send troops rashly because of face!" Wang Qia shook his head and sighed bitterly.
Zhou Shipu said: "Wangbutang, don't you understand our emperor yet? The young man is mentally and irritably. He said that he started a massacre in Shuntian Prefecture last year, and killed so many officials outside the Daming Gate a few years ago. These are all major events that shake the court."
"What should I do now?" Wang Qia sighed, quite helpless.
"Wangbutang is too worried." Zhou Shipu put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and his tone was quite proud, "Wangbutang, think about it, how long has the new army been formed? It's time to go out of seclusion to fight the Mongolians. Do you think it can be won?"
Wang Qia thought for a while and said, "What do you mean is that this time will fail?"
Zhou Shipu looked down upon Wang Qia in his heart. Wang Qia was originally the Minister of Works and the Ministry of Works. Because he was tall, he was transferred by the emperor to be the Minister of War.
In fact, Wang Qia knows nothing about military affairs.
"There will be no doubt defeat." Zhou Shipu insisted on the railway. "The emperor's move was to put the Privy Council on fire and wait and see. At most, two months, maybe one month. When the news of the defeat came back, it was also the day when Sun Chengzong got out!"
When Wang Qia heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
"So many people in the court now impeach Sun Chengzong..."
"Of course, we have to impeach. Only when the news of defeat comes will we prove that they are correct." Zhou Shipu said slowly, with clear logic, and Wang Qia nodded repeatedly.
"After two days, the lower official will submit a memorial." Zhou Shipu smiled and said, "What do you think about Wang Butang?"
“Very good.”
At this time, the cabinet chief Zhou Yanru was holding his concubine in his mansion to do something that adults should do (three thousand words of the process are omitted here).
Suddenly someone shouted at the door: "Master, there are guests outside asking for a visit."
"No." Zhou Yanru was a little impatient and turned around and had to clean up this butler who had no eyesight. Didn't you see the master? I'm talking to the girl about life ideals now!
"Master, the other party calls himself the Duke of England."
Zhou Yanru was slightly stunned and sat up quickly.
The girl whose skin was whiter and seemed to be dripping from water said, "Master, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yanru quickly stood up, put on his clothes, tidyed up his clothes, and hurried out.
Although Jean is the prime minister, he will never neglect Zhang Weixian.
Soon after, he went out and met Zhang Weixian in the living room: "The British Duke came to the humble house and welcomed him far away, and welcomed him far away."
"I came to visit the court and disturbed the elder." There was a box next to it, and Zhang Weixian said, "This is a Western Regions gem given to me by a friend. I feel a little bit of my heart, but I don't respect it."
Good guy, the British Duke personally delivered the goods, and Zhou Yanru was a little surprised.
"You are kind to you, I don't know if the Duke is here, what's the point of doing?"
Zhang Weixian said bluntly: "I have been a little confused recently and want to ask the Master of the Pavilion. I hope the Master of the Pavilion will give you advice."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
However, Zhang Weixian knew that Zhou Yanru was best at judging the best intentions.
Over the past year, the court has been very uneasy.
The emperor killed people in a hurry, and many rules were destroyed.
Nowadays, people's hearts are floating, but more people are waiting for opportunities to take advantage of the opportunity.
However, taking the opportunity to rise to power now is not the chaos in the government and the opposition during the Apocalypse period and taking the opportunity to rise to power.
Now everyone is guessing the emperor’s true thoughts to cater to the holy will and make a fortune.
In fact, it is just choosing to take sides.
This naturally includes the Duke of England, who wanted to know what the emperor is in now.
At the end of last year, the new army made great contributions, and the court structure underwent major changes.
He, the governor of the Left Army, also clearly felt more changes.
"What do you think about Your Majesty's dispatch of troops to Gubeikou and Zhangjiakou?"
Zhou Yanru had known in his heart that the British Guild had come to ask such a question. He took a sip of tea and thoughts flashed through his mind.
He said, "Your Majesty's Holy Will is unpredictable, and I don't know it."
"Even the Master of the Court doesn't know?"
"I have never heard from His Majesty."
"It seems that His Majesty seems to trust Lord Sun more?"
Zhou Yanru did not obey Zhang Weixian's instigation plan and said, "Your Majesty is young and capable, and has the ambition of a saint. Lord Sun is the teacher of the late emperor. As the chief minister, he is loyal to his post. He dare not overstep the rest of the matter."
"According to Master Zhou's wishes, can you win triumphantly when you go out of the north to the pass?"
"Disaster."
Zhang Weixian was silent for a moment, stood up and said, "I've been disturbed, I'll say goodbye."
"Someone sent a send to the Duke of the State."
Zhang Weixian left all the way.
Zhou Yanru returned to the house and began to think.
The British Duke was full and was full to give Zhou Yanru something?
Of course not. Zhou Yanru is the chief minister of the cabinet and must have mastered information that they don’t know.
The Duke of England wanted to choose between the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, so he wanted to learn more.
