Chapter 280: King Wu Enters Beijing (9)
Yes, everyone in the world has a scale in their hearts.
When they talk about today's affairs, they would say that King Wu was kind, filial, loyal and righteous, for the safety of his father, for the welfare of all living beings in the world, and for the promise of his ancestors, they gave up the throne that was within their reach!
Although the voices of the people in the world are so small that they can be ignored, after all, there are many people in the world, and God can hear the sounds of millions of people roaring!
Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "But... King Jin may not be willing to compromise. Dad should know that the territory of the Yongli Dynasty is twice as big as ours."
Wu Bochang smiled, "Everyone said to compete for the Central Plains... But now is different from the past. What is the Central Plains... With a large population, that is called the Central Plains. The northwest is deserted, and all the commercial towns are on the coast. Even if the King of Jin refuses to compromise, what can... Of course, if you can't say this to others, you still have to be polite..."
Speaking of this, Wu Bochang laughed and said, "Apart from that, isn't the daughter of the King of Jin in Yingtian Mansion... If someone sends her daughter, we can't let them get cold... Find some time to welcome that girl Haiyue into the mansion?"
Wu Zheng frowned, "Dad is using the baby's marriage as a bargaining chip... We can't do that!"
Wu Bochang said seriously: "If we marry and accept it forcibly, we will naturally be criticized... But this is a two-person consent, and each one takes what we need, so what is not worth it... Son, only by embracing Li Haiyue into the palace can the King of Jin be truly at ease. Only in this way can the King of Jin stand firmly behind you to protect you... Then, there will be no possibility of an outbreak in the war between the two dynasties. Only when the world is unified can it come soon!"
Wu Zheng was silent.
Wu Bochang sighed lightly, "Things in the world have never been either black or white. Whether you feel unwilling to give up or frustrated, but in fact, you have never lost anything, but you must have obtained more than you imagined... You can change your thinking, for example... it is for the sake of the creatures in the world to avoid the poison of war... or, to comfort King Jin's heart as a father."
Wu Zheng retorted unhappily: "Dad... is so amazing. Do you know that Li Haiyue is only seventeen years old this year... or is still a vain!"
"So what?" Wu Bochang blew his beard and glared, "When your mother gave birth to your elder brother, she was only seventeen years old, and when she gave birth to you, she was only twenty years old..."
Wu Zheng looked at Wu Bochang with annoyance, "After all, Daddy is using the child as a bargaining chip for the ancestors of the Wu family!"
Wu Bochang laughed loudly and lit Wu Zheng and said, "It's good if you realize it... It's good if you realize it! I didn't let my father go all the way away... Do you know that the days in the palace... tsk, it's like the bird in a cage..."
Looking at Wu Bochang's rosy face, Wu Zheng could not imagine that the life his father lived would be related to the birds in the cage.
"Actually... my father is not very old... Otherwise, I can take a concubine to serve you on behalf of my child?"
Wu Bochang was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "Is there anyone who talks to your father like this... It's presumptuous!"
....
The third year of Jianxing, on the fifth day of October.
The King of Wu submitted a letter to support the new king and took the initiative to supervise the country's title.
The new king Zhu Chenyu changed the year name to "Chongguang".
On that day, the King of Wu was appointed as the King of Political Consultative Affairs, and was granted the vassal of Zhejiang and Fujian.
Wu Zheng was appointed as the Northwest Punishment envoy, meaning to pacify the northwest and complete the great cause of unification of the world.
The government and the country were in a state of excitement, which meant that the shadow of war shrouded over Yingtian Mansion instantly dissipated.
The court is already discussing how to return the Shuntian Mansion.
Wu Zheng was leaving, of course, with his father Wu Bochang and Li Haiyue.
Leave the capital and leave Your Majesty.
In the Ganqing Palace.
Zhu Chenyu received a cup of tea from the brocade plate presented by the palace maids and held it in front of Wu Zheng, "Brother, please take care of me!"
It's so deep and profound.
Wu Zheng took it with one hand and smiled and said, "Originally, I handed over the weaving department to you because I planned to give you a dowry... But now, you are the emperor and are rich in the world... It seems that I have done nothing more!"
"Brother!" Zhu Chenyu said strangely, "How can I take back what I gave?"
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I have no intention of taking it back... Besides, if I want to take it back, you have to be willing!"
These words made Wu Mei and the others suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
Yes, the mirror is broken, and no matter how carefully it is, it is difficult to return to the past.
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "When will you get married, let me know, no matter where I am... I will come back!"
Zhu Chenyu was a little moved. She stared at Wu Zheng and chanted softly, "The good things in the world are not strong, and the glass is easy to break and the colorful clouds are scattered..."
Wu Zheng's face gradually became solemn, and he frowned and said, "Remember her poems less... She is not your role model!"
Zhu Chenyu also realized that this was not the time to recite this poem, and sighed lightly: "Actually... the eldest princess is deeply in love with her brother..."
Wu Zheng said lightly: "Any relationship, once mixed with power disputes, is not pure..."
"But the eldest princess... didn't lie to me!" Zhu Chenyu said firmly, "I did it!"
Wu Zheng looked at Zhu Chenyu's tender face and sighed: "This is a mess of water... floating and ups and downs, you must remember... don't trust anyone!"
Zhu Chenyu had a hint of mocking, "Does it also include... brother?"
Wu Zheng replied sadly, "...yes!"
When Zhu Chenyu heard this, she was also upset, "It's so that my brother can know... In this world, I only believe in Dad and Brother!"
Wu Zheng was a little moved. Although Zhu Chenyu took the lead in ascending the throne and cut off her path to the supreme position, Wu Zheng knew in his heart that it was nothing to do with Zhu Chenyu.
There are countless people who are holding Zhu Chenyu up, and many of them deserve the reputation of being the well-deserved elites in the world.
Even if he was as powerful as Wu Zheng, he could only compromise.
The human heart will never succumb to the killing, and Wu Zheng will not be able to kill all dissidents in the world.
The only thing he can do is accept reality and then... plan for the future.
Wu Bochang is right. The lesson is definitely not passed down by word of mouth. Only when he falls into the pit and suffers can he accept it!
Wu Zheng is still young and rises too fast, just like a legend.
The foundation is too shallow, so shallow that there is no support except the army.
This is also a reason why Wu Zheng only controlled the military power and let go of internal affairs for seven years, but on the other hand, if you really want to capture both hands, you are afraid that Wu Zheng will not have the energy.
But the influence of these seven years of reform has also been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
As long as people have dignity, they will no longer be willing to bow their knees to others.
Even in this coup, the merchants standing opposite Wu Zheng actually tasted the taste of improving their status.
Their opposition was just that they were not optimistic about Wu Zheng, such as their origins... For example, His Highness of the King of Wu was famous for "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and "making money out of nothing".
