Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng both looked over when they heard the sound, and sure enough it was Gu Baichuan, appearing at the door and walking in.

"Has the emperor canonized the son of Zhaoxian?" Zhong Jinwei asked immediately.

At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng's voice also sounded: "Is Prince Zhaoxian here?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Jinwei and Lu Xiangsheng looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Gu Baichuan had already walked in, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhong Jinwei and said, "Hou Ye, Prince Zhaoxian has been canonized by the emperor as King of Korea."

Speaking of this, he took out a letter from his pocket and said: "This is a letter from His Majesty to Lord Hou, and it is stated that Lord Hou will personally sign it. All matters related to North Korea are in charge of Lord Hou, and I will receive the order with the King of North Korea in a while." , will talk about it.”

When Zhong Jinwei heard that Emperor Chongzhen had written a letter to himself in private, he didn't know what to say, so he quickly took it from Gu Baichuan.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei had taken the letter, Gu Baichuan put down his hands, and then complained: "Master Hou, that Prince Zhaoxian is dishonest, and he created a problem for the emperor."

Zhong Jinwei stopped opening the letter when he heard it, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

The guards of Lu Xiangsheng and Zhong Jinwei also looked at Gu Baichuan curiously, wondering what kind of moth that Prince Zhaoxian was doing.

Gu Baichuan said a little resentfully: "The emperor saw that the Korean subjects were ashamed and admitted their mistakes, so he agreed to canonize Prince Sohyun as the king of Joseon. Unexpectedly, he made another request, asking the emperor not to publish the edict of the former Joseon king's abdication to the world. Ask Daming to help him keep it a secret."

"Why?" Li Dingguo couldn't help asking after hearing this.

At the same time, Sun Kewang's voice also sounded: "Why?"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't ask, but just stared at Gu Baichuan with piercing eyes, as if Gu Baichuan was the Prince Zhaoxian.

Zhong Jinwei's complexion also darkened. Doesn't the request of the son of Zhaoxian make people in the world think that my emperor, the Ming emperor, turned his back on his word and sealed one king after another, and he didn't understand etiquette!

"What did Prince Zhaoxian say?" Zhong Jinwei looked at Gu Baichuan and asked.

"The son of Zhaoxian cried to the emperor, saying that if the edict of passing on the throne is announced, it will definitely be known to Jianlu. If Jianlu becomes angry from embarrassment, his father will be in danger." Gu Baichuan replied.

After Zhong Jinwei heard this, there was no change of joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face, and he still asked calmly, "Then how did the emperor do it?"

Gu Baichuan was in the palace that day, so he saw the whole process.He was very impressed, and answered Zhong Jinwei: "The emperor was stunned for a moment, then agreed, and praised him for his filial piety. It's just that other ministers reprimanded the son of Zhao Xian for using filial piety in the name of filial piety, and forced his father with bad intentions." .”

Zhong Jinwei was very upset when he heard this. Of course it is good for the son of Zhaoxian to have such filial piety, but why didn't he explain to himself in advance, but went to the capital to enlist Emperor Chongzhen in the army.

Zhong Jinwei didn't think about it, he himself wrote a memorial to trick North Korea.He and the prince Zhaoxian can be said to be the same, neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng spoke, but his point of view was different from others. He said to Zhong Jinwei: "The emperor is really the lord of the British, and the officials don't think this is a bad thing. When we defeat the Jianlu, it doesn't matter whether the former Korean king is rescued or not." , you can publish the imperial edict. In this way, those who complain that my Emperor Ming does not understand etiquette will shut up, and they will even praise my Emperor Ming for his benevolent heart and broad mind."

Zhong Jinwei thought about it for a while, as long as he had the edict of abdication in his hand, there would naturally be no problem.At that time, if others don't talk about it, you can let the newspapers spread it widely.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei's anger also dissipated, so he continued to open the letter in his hand to read the content.

When the others heard Lu Xiangsheng's explanation, they all admired Emperor Chongzhen's choice, so they stopped worrying about Prince Zhaoxian forcing the palace, and began to pay attention to the letter in Zhong Jinwei's hand.They didn't know why the emperor wrote a separate letter to Zhongxing Hou before Lord Hou accepted the imperial edict.

Zhong Jinwei quickly read the letter and was quite speechless.

It turned out that his previous memorial to Emperor Chongzhen was to suggest that Emperor Chongzhen take this opportunity to negotiate conditions with North Korea, so he can't waste manpower and material resources to fight for North Korea!Loss-making business can not be done!

Emperor Chongzhen had a thin skin and felt embarrassed to say Zhong Jinwei's suggestion.The chief minister of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, and others felt that Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, and North Korea had always been my vassal state. During the Wanli years, they did not ask for any money or food from North Korea during the War of Aiding Korea and Anti-Japanese War. Now when they are suffering, talk to them. Conditions are not something that a great country in China should do.

As a result of the discussion between Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren, the matter was handed over to Zhong Jinwei, an advocate, and he was required to save face inside.In other words, it is necessary to not lose the demeanor of the kingdom of heaven, but also to get benefits.

Zhong Jinwei raised his head after reading it, and found that everyone was looking at him, and he couldn't help but sighed: "I'm really asking for trouble!"

After finishing speaking, he handed the letter to Lu Xiangsheng, lest those tiger eyes keep staring at him.

Governor Deng Lai is still qualified to know about matters related to North Korea.After all, Zhong Jinwei will not stay in Denglai for a long time, and the governor of Denglai will be directly in charge of North Korea in the future.

Lu Xiangsheng read it quickly, and handed the letter back to Zhong Jinwei. At the same time, he looked at Hou Zhongxing sympathetically, thinking in his heart that Lord Hou was in a cocoon this time.

He was very curious, whether Hou Zhongxing could do such a harsh thing.

Zhong Jinwei casually handed the letter to Li Dingguo who was beside him, and after letting him keep it, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple, then asked Gu Baichuan, "Has my letter from home been delivered? How is Archie?"

Archie is pregnant, let Zhong Jinwei worry about it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Baichuan quickly took out another letter from his arms and said, "Master Hou, this is a reply letter."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, he quickly took it over to look at it.The others were embarrassed to stare at Zhong Jinwei this time, and dispersed while waiting for Zhong Jinwei to finish watching.

Zhong Jinwei looked at the letter and smiled involuntarily on his face.

Archie said in the letter that everything is fine, and reassured Zhong Jinwei that the vomiting during pregnancy has been cured, and now he is becoming greedy.I love to eat things that I usually don't like to eat.Many people in Jingshi have borrowed money from two banks to start small businesses, and they have a lot of food that they have never seen before. She eats without repetition every day. Everything is fine, but Zhong Jinwei is asked to pay attention to safety. Wan take care.

Zhong Jinwei read the letter twice in a row, and Archie's pregnant figure appeared in front of his eyes, smiling sweetly and nagging himself about these things.

After thinking about it, Zhong Jinwei suddenly grabbed the letter paper and slapped his thigh, loudly saying: "There is a way!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhongxing Hou when he heard the sound, and thought, could it be that the Marquis told Zhongxing Hou what to do in the letter?
