Chapter 157: It's not stupid, it's just
When Li Huai arrived at the imperial study, the emperor was losing his temper.
"Go back and tell them, if they can't even handle such a small thing, then why choose them as envoys?" The emperor roared at a minister in front of him, and threw a memorial directly over him.
The minister retreated and passed the flying memorial, then picked it up calmly, handed it to the yellow flag, and then raised his hand to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this envoy is just to convey a message, and it is impossible to make a decision on the spot.
, Yongchang Hou’s opinion is a bit too much, you can all see this, and I think several envoys are the same, but they can’t make a decision on the spot, they still have to bring the news back.”
Huang Qi took the memorial and presented it again.
Seeing this scene, Li Huai couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips. This minister is a bit awesome. The emperor is so angry, and you don't even feel nervous at all. If it were replaced by some dynasties before time travel, it would be enough for you to become
Kowtow bug.
While he was thinking about it, the minister who was speaking suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Huai.
Looking at this man's appearance, fragments of Li Huai's memory emerged, giving him a name and the corresponding position——
Ding Yi, Minister of Rites.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Because he had never taken the initiative to dig up this person in the past, it could be said that this was the first time he heard his name.
"This name! Isn't this the name that children dream of? A name only needs to be written in three strokes! Well, it seems that Daning Dynasty wrote in traditional Chinese characters, excuse me..."
"This person is your own character design, have you forgotten? 1 slot."
Ignoring the narrator's complaints, Li Huai followed and realized that this person was actually his father-in-law's immediate boss, equivalent to the foreign minister. This person came to talk about the envoy. The envoy was obviously going to be sent to Yongchang Hou.
side.
"Okay, okay, now I have to talk to him, Marquis Yongchang, and I have to go back and forth through the messenger. He doesn't take Daning seriously at all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in to report that some of his husband-in-law had come to see him.
The emperor frowned, glanced at Li Huai, then nodded and said: "Since we're here, let's all come in, it's not good to stay out."
After the words fell, Jiang Qing and Lu Huai walked in together. They had just presented themselves to the emperor here, and greeted the Minister of Etiquette there. Then they turned their attention to Li Huai and wanted to say hello in the same way.
As a result, someone from outside came to report, saying that it was Yang Zhi, the Minister of War, who wanted to see him.
The emperor frowned more and more, but he still waved his hand and asked someone to call him in.
As soon as Yang Zhi came in, he went through the process according to the etiquette. He also looked at Li Huai and said slightly surprised: "The Marquis of Dingxiang is here too? I don't know why?"
"I asked them to come." The emperor said directly, but did not say the specific reason. In fact, Li Huai previously sent a letter analyzing the situation to the emperor, and discussed the plot according to the plot, and then was called into the palace.
.
Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Lu Huai, on the other hand, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are here to report a piece of news. This matter is related to the military affairs. It is best not to let irrelevant people come in contact with it to prevent leaks."
The emperor frowned.
Li Huai narrowed his eyes. To be honest, the situation in front of him was a bit beyond his original expectations, but according to the previous preparations, it was not impossible to deal with it. So he chuckled lightly, handed over his hands to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say.
Want to say."
The emperor glanced at the other people, then nodded to Li Huai and said, "Li Qing, tell me."
Li Huai smiled faintly, his eyes swept over the faces of several husbands one after another, and finally landed on Lu Huai's face, saying: "What the husbands said is that the Yongchang thief used the banner of Qing Jun, and then there was another
Is there any sign that troops are about to be launched?”
Jiang Qing snorted coldly and said: "Marquis Dingxiang is well-informed, so you should also know what Marquis Yongchang said..."
Li Huai didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and simply interrupted: "Yongchang, who has received the country's favor in this life, does not think about repaying it, and instead commits rebellious things. How can such a heinous thief be called a prince?"
Lu Huai said with a smile: "Why did Marquis Yongchang arise? I think you, Marquis Xiang, know best!"
"I know it? How do I know it? Because of those words?" Li Huai laughed, without any politeness at all, "With all due respect, if those scoundrels in the market have never learned, do not know history, and do not know the truth, they believe
This is excusable, because it is stupid! But if the public can believe it and rely on it, then it is wrong. Mr. Lu, you are the prime minister, the prime minister's yin and yang, and you are one with the country. If it were someone else like this
Say, I must think that it is harboring evil intentions and malice!"
Lu Huai's smile suddenly solidified.
Li Huai kept talking: "For example, you, Xianggong Lu, came from a poor Lu family, and you have a reputation for being a virtuous person. When you were ranked second in the imperial examination, you were rich in education, you must not be stupid! Why do you still believe this?"
Without waiting for Lu Huai to respond, he cupped his hands towards the emperor again and said: "Yongchang people have been planning hard to gain fame and reputation, and to accumulate party members. Of course, they have been here for a long time. Isn't this what I said earlier about the analysis that spread throughout the city?
How can I say that he is persecuting him? I also said that as a general, he should take care of the country's worries and be loyal to the country's affairs. Did Luo Zhiyuan ever listen? The bad words I said were used by him as persecution. What I said was that he should be a minister.
He avoids talking about his duty, which is the American way!"
Ding Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, listened with great interest. Then he showed doubts and asked: "What is the American way?"
"The art of sophistry is the basis of double standards!" Li Huai said lightly, thinking that he was so excited for a moment that he brought out the habits of former keyboard politicians again, so he had to be careful, "Shang Shu, don't worry about these details.
, or say you know him as the Yongchang thief..."
As he spoke, he paused, raised his voice again, and repeated: "Yongchang thief!"
Then he continued: "What the Yongchang thief said today was just to delay. His pretense of raising troops was not a cover-up, but his true intention. Not only that, he will also make a gesture of pointing his sword at Guanzhong!"
"The sword points to Guanzhong?" Jiang Qing shook his head, his expression still expressionless, but disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Lu Huaize calmed down his emotions, smiled slightly, and said: "Dingxiang Hou, military matters are not that simple. Everyone knows that Guanzhong is an important place for the imperial court. If you fall here, you can paralyze the world. But with the gathering of forbidden troops in Guanzhong, all the surrounding people
Zhenhuzhi is not so easy to capture, and no one with a little bit of brains would consider this place as the first place to attack!"
Li Huai narrowed his eyes and did not refute, but counted the time.
If what he expected is true and the plot still has its inertia, then news should come in the next two days.
As soon as the thought came to an end, the emperor was about to speak. Suddenly, the Minister of War, Yang Zhi, coughed lightly, then cupped his hands and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, this... a military message was just sent from the front, saying
There was a small group of troops approaching Tongguan, and it seemed that they... seemed to be planning to attack Guanzhong. I didn't dare to delay, so I came over immediately to report."
