Chapter 2 Snow Tablets

When the ministers walked out of the Ming Palace one after another, they were already wafting in the evening bells. When the Secretariat walked out of the Danfeng Gate, they couldn't help but look back at the palace gate tower in the sunset.

He suddenly remembered a scene, an unforgettable experience.

That was the last battle between the Taiping Party and Li Longji a few years ago. At that time, Princess Taiping, as a winner, was surrounded by ministers, and entered the palace from here. Zhang Shuo knelt on the side of the road in public.

Danfeng Gate is still the Danfeng Gate of the past, and it has not changed at all. Even the guard system up and down the city gate is step by step. The difference is that the scene in my memory is early morning and now it is dusk when I look back. The sun hanging in the horizon is opposite, that's it.

Princess Taiping said: In the past, you asked you to judge the situation, but you refused. What are you still here now?

Zhang Shuo replied: I regret it so much that I can only kneel down in the palace and beg your highness to forgive me.

Every question and answer seems to be still echoing in my ears, as if it happened yesterday.A few years have passed in the blink of an eye.Zhang Shuo suddenly felt a fever in his ears and couldn't tell what it felt like.

Why am I still staying here?This seems to be a saying.

Why did my uncle stay? Is there anything else?The words of his nephew Zhang Jishi woke up Zhang Shuo from his loss of consciousness.

Zhang Shuo raised his hand and straightened his hat, and said as if nothing had happened: Nothing is wrong, let's go.

After saying that, he got on a luxurious carriage, Zhang said that as the highest-level minister of the court, the show is very big.

His nephew was walking with his horse, and he heard Zhang say: "The car is here to sit with me in the world."Zhang Jishi quickly threw away the reins and hugged his fists and replied, "Yes."

There was also a case on the carriage, and even a complete set of text, ink, paper and pen. Zhang said he was in charge of state affairs anytime and anywhere.

Zhang Jishi sat respectfully across the street. As a confidant, there was no one more trusting Zhang than his nephew.

I have to write a letter to King Jin...a private letter.Zhang Shuo said in a deep voice.

Zhang Jishi thought about it and said seriously: My uncle is going to have a private exchange with the King of Jin now. Has he decided to support him?As far as I know, many people are not talking in their hearts, but they know in their hearts that the court has a chance to stop the King of Jin from entering the capital to proclaim himself emperor... We are considered to be His Highness Princess Taiping's people. She hasn't expressed her opinion yet, so we don't have to hurry, right?

If Your Highness will break up with the King of Jin, can you wait until now?

Zhang Shuo blurted out, and then changed his tone and said seriously. His former Prime Minister Lu said the way to be an official. When we first became officials, we were all for the benefit of the country and the people and to realize our ambition of governing the world.Later, my mood was affected by wealth and power, but I also had to always think about my initial ambitions. How can I benefit the country and the people?You said that the "many people" had to prevent the court from entering the capital, but why didn't our Zhengshi Hall even see a memorial in the past few days?Who can stand up for those who watch the fun?People's hearts are sinister and encourage others to find trouble. They are just messing up the waters. Have they thought about the consequences? Have they thought about the people of the world?

My uncle's words were enlightened, Ji Shi was ashamed... Zhang Ji Shi suddenly looked ashamed. As his uncle said, there were very few people who dared to speak out like Li Xiang (Li Shouyi).

Zhang Shuo snorted coldly and whispered: Don’t underestimate Li Shouyi. This is his way of dealing with things. Others can’t learn it. Unless you can do it like him, people in the world will say that you still have to establish a archway if you become a bitch?

I heard that Li Xiang’s family is so poor that it is not easy for those who have worked as prime minister for several years to live like that.Zhang Jishi agreed.

Zhang Shuo said coldly: That's right. If you can't live a poor life, don't learn to set up a arch... You have to go north in person. If I can't believe it, don't be eye-catching.

Uncle, don’t worry, Jishi will definitely get things done.

...Zhang Jishi then went north as instructed by the Secretary of the Secretariat Zhang Shuo. Unexpectedly, this was not the fastest. Xue Chongxun first received the letter from Zhang Shuo, but Dou Huaizhen!

The letters Dou Huaizhen and Zhang said did not contain any substantial things, but in this case, the courtiers and Xue Chongxun had a private communication in themselves was an affair.

After that, before Xue Chongxun entered the pass, letters from all kinds of people flew over like snow, and there were a lot of them all.

Xue Chongxun pointed to those things and said to his staff: The situation is very good, and our journey back should be very smooth.

Su Jin smiled and said: The court officials will never advocate resisting Xue Lang, otherwise if these letters fall into Li Tang's hands, who can do anything to do?

Compared to Erling's attitude, Su Jin seemed very radical this time, which was a little different from his always cautious style, but it seemed normal to be related to his life experience...

Su Jin experienced great ups and downs, and the grievances he had suffered made him very eager to make a name for himself. Although he looked indifferent to fame and fortune on the surface, he felt completely different in his heart. What he wanted was not wealth, but in one breath.

Zhang Jiuling's attitude towards Xue Chongxun was not so positive. He advised: The more smooth the better we should be, the less we should be careless, and we should not underestimate justice. There are many things that are very big and unpredictable in the world. Looking far away is the right way.

Xue Chongxun nodded and said: I have also been considering what I have entered the pass these days. I plan to disband the army after crossing the desert south, and return to the garrison, and only bring the two armies of Shence and Mingguang back to Beijing.Because each army is divided into each side, the capital is responsible for being forced into the capital without any trouble, and it is impossible to justify the palace, let alone the imperial edict was not accepted; the two armies of Shen Ce and Ming Guang are different, and were originally built by the Beijing camp, and when they go back with them, they only return to the garrison, and there is no criticism on the surface.

After hearing this, Su Jin hurriedly said: The prince now has an army of more than 100,000 and has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. If he is easily dismissed, it will be extremely difficult to mobilize it again!This is self-defeating, you must not, please think twice!

Wang Changling did not support Xue Chongxun very much, and at this time he also agreed with Su Jin: Xue Lang was supported by his subordinates in Heisha City and had no way to turn back. Give up military power is not a good strategy.

But what the prince said is not unreasonable. If he did not transfer the border troops back to each side and led more than 100,000 troops into Guanzhong, what was the intention to do?

Zhang Jiuling said that if the army is not disbanded, he can only delay the return to Beijing.

What is the purpose of garrisoning troops in the north?

Wang Changling frowned.

Su Jin said: Wang Shaobo said just now that things have become a foregone conclusion and there is no way to turn back. What else can hesitate to the current situation?Xue Lang must first obtain the right treasure, and then stabilize the situation and prevent the recurrence of the forces of the previous dynasty. As for the name, he will have his own explanation in the future.

Wang Changling looked at Su Jin angrily, and the generals of the thought-provoking ministers made up the unexpected thing. It wasn't you who were there to incite the mystery of toes or other things.

Wang Changling now suspected that Su Jin was also trying to instigate Xue Chongxun to be the leader of various ethnic groups in the north at the beginning.

The crowd expressed their opinions and discussed them enthusiastically in the tent, but Xue Chongxun didn't say anything.

With his personality, he could not speak righteously in front of his confidants and aides, and he did not want to be an emperor. It was too fake and in line with his style. But he did not act in a kind-hearted manner with everyone. At this point, he felt that he had become more and more in a state of mind. No one could be competent for his confidant in the face of totalitarianism.

At this time, Xue Chongxun suddenly reached out to the letter from the court officials who had been tied up, untied the rope on it, and they were immediately scattered on the desk. He checked it out with great interest.

The staff were still arguing, and Xue Chongxun was a little reluctant to listen.

Many people write private letters to express kindness, with names on it.But there is no information about Princess Taiping, and there is not even a few words in the business tone.

Xue Chongxun thought to himself: When I become emperor, to maintain my rule, I have to continue the previous methods, properly handle the relationship between all classes and interest groups, win over them, and share the benefits.

Although there is a saying that the emperor is rich in all directions, the world is by no means the world of one person, and every person has their place.

If everyone in the world wants to protect themselves, everyone must see the benefits they can give them on the throne.

It is necessary to win over landlords and those who read and read, otherwise this regime will be unsustainable...

But who is the real person?

Are these confidants who have been kidnapped in a group?

Xue Chongxun felt that he might have been influenced by the thinking of the small peasant economy era, so he focused on the overall situation and found that what he valued the most was his relatives.

He really didn't have the mind of being a family in the world, and suddenly felt that all this was meaningless.

Princess Taiping did not make any statement at this time, which made Xue Chongxun feel vaguely that she was resentful.

Xue Chongxun is not a tangled person, but now he is thinking a lot because there are a few things he really can't figure out: Why did Princess Taiping give herself the military power of the northern army?

Why did her competitive temperament who refused to be inferior to others let herself develop to the present level...

According to Xue Chongxun's understanding of the power field, their mother and son are destined to be incompatible, and they should have decided to be in the face of irreconcilable contradictions.

Just like the breakup between her and Li Sanlang, the relationship between the two families has always been very good, but nothing can stop the intensification of the conflict.

If the relationship between aunt and nephew is not as good as that of mother and son, then from another perspective, Li Longji is still a member of the Li family, it is more likely to be reconciled than Xue Chongxun, who is surnamed Xue.

But this is not the case.

Xue Chongxun felt that everything that happened was irrational; if he thought rationally at this time, there was no need to pay too much attention to Princess Taiping, because the Taiping Party had already fallen short and many people came through privately...

But if Princess Taiping had not had the previous mistakes, how could this be the case now?

Suddenly, he wanted to betray the rules in his heart to repay his mother Princess Taiping's previous mistakes.

If only Princess Taiping is addicted to this paranoid game, then she will appear too lonely, which makes people feel unbearable...
