Chapter 2304 balance
Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "No... the world is a world of Han people. I... I don't need to discuss this matter anymore, just do it like this!"
Speaking of this, Wu Zheng looked at Xia Wanchun, "I think what the general said is reasonable... Cun Gu, what the small hills harm people!"
Xia Wanchun bowed and said, "I... obey the order, but after the army is integrated... I would like to ask Your Majesty to give you a name!"
Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "Military Machine Pavilion will discuss it first. With the result, I will submit the memorial."
"I will obey the order."
So Wu Zhengshou slapped, "Everyone is very happy... Haha, the three most important things are all set up, all the dukes... I will hold a banquet in the palace today to celebrate with the public, and I will not return without getting drunk, how about it?"
....
"You are dissatisfied with me, are you?"
That night, after the palace banquet, Wu Zheng left Xia Wanchun.
Xia Wanchun, who had been depressed, looked up at Wu Zheng, "I don't know... I dare not!"
"If you dare not, think about it in your heart, you are innocent!" Wu Zheng walked to Xia Wanchun, raised his hand and patted Xia Wanchun and said, "As of your age, you are already the youngest Duke in my dynasty... The eyes of many people are red!"
Xia Wanchun said in a muffled voice: "If your Majesty feels that the minister is not worthy of his position... he can just remove his position as a duke!"
"Look, I still say I'm not dissatisfied." Wu Zheng laughed, "I think every word in the old saying is dissatisfied!"
Xia Wanchun looked up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty... it's not that I am jealous of King Jin, but that Your Majesty is too fond of King Jin... Just imagine, King Jin takes the power of the general as the prince-in-law, and then takes charge of the Military Pavilion... This is equivalent to... Alas, Your Majesty doesn't understand, what if... it's a problem to raise a tiger?"
As soon as these words were said, Wu Zheng's face gradually became serious, "Cungu, how could you think of anything you can think of... But you have to understand that the Yongli Dynasty occupied half of the country... No, to be precise, its territory is much larger than ours... Without King Jin, a civil war that swept across the country would break out. No matter who wins the world in the end, it will have to pay millions of lives...Cungu, they are all compatriots in our tribe!"
Xia Wanchun muttered: "But Your Majesty gave the King of Jin so much power, if... I don't dare to think about it!"
Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "What are you afraid of?"
"I am not afraid...I am worried...I am not afraid to speak!"
"There are only you and me here, what's there to say... Are you Cungu also starting to alienate me?" Wu Zheng teased with a smile.
Xia Wanchun gritted his teeth, "Then he is brave... If the imperial concubine gave birth to a prince... If he is appointed as the crown prince by His Majesty in the future...!"
Wu Zheng looked at Xia Wanchun calmly, feeling very relieved. When he first saw this young man who led thousands of rebels to fight against the Qing army in Jiaxing Prefecture seven years ago, Wu Zheng had already appreciated his integrity.
Now, Xia Wanchun is growing very fast and has the instinct of a senior official in the country.
It is not unaware of the disadvantages of concentrating the power completely on Li Dingguo. It can even be said that this move may have harmed Li Dingguo, but Wu Zheng had to do so.
Wu Zheng could not risk the civil war and force the Yongli Dynasty to incorporate it under his command.
Then, the only way to induce the Yongli Dynasty to incorporate is to hold Li Dingguo, let go of the greatest power, and give the Yongli Dynasty subjects enough room for imagination.
This is a double-edged sword that can hurt people and yourself.
But Wu Zheng still hoped that Li Dingguo, who had passed his forties, could withstand the temptation of power, calmly control half of the Yongli Dynasty, and buy time for himself!
This is Wu Zheng’s real intention, but when facing Xia Wanchun’s anxiety, Wu Zheng could not say it, at least, could not say it directly.
"Cungu, the queen often praises her sister in front of me, and is very talented...!"
Xia Wanchun was confused by Wu Zheng's sudden words. He asked, "Your Majesty's intention is..."
Wu Zheng said seriously: "I am not a greedy person... The queen, the imperial concubine has a close relationship with Ling Meiquan, and she often advises me to enthrone my sister as a concubine in private... I wonder what the ancient meaning is?"
Xia Wanchun looked at Wu Zheng in shock. It was not that he didn't know that his sister had long liked Wu Zheng, nor that he was unwilling to accept that his dignified Duke's legitimate sister had entered the palace to be a concubine, but that he didn't understand why Wu Zheng suddenly discussed Xia Huiji's marriage with him today.
Wu Zheng did not urge him and looked at Xia Wanchun with a smile.
After a long time, Xia Wanchun said, "It is really a blessing to have the favor of your Majesty if you give up your sister... I have no reason to object to it!"
Wu Zheng stepped forward to hold Xia Wanchun's right arm and said with relief: "In this way, you and I are brothers who are both famous and realistic! "
Xia Wanchun grinned, and he wanted to re-report the previous topic and persuade Wu Zheng.
But Wu Zheng quickly let go of Xia Wanchun's arm and patted his shoulder, "I am tired today... You should be tired, go back and rest!"
Xia Wanchun was stunned and bowed and responded, "I will leave!"
....
Duke Wei’s Mansion.
The main hall.
"Your Majesty really said that?" Xia Wanchun's wife Qian Qinzhuan asked in surprise.
Xia Wanchun nodded in depressed mood, unable to see any joy.
Qian Qinzhuan was confirmed by her husband and stood up "scared", "Then I have to go and inform the two sisters of the same age so that they can be happy... Husband should know that my sister-in-law has long been secretly accused of His Majesty...!"
Xia Wanchun just said "hmm" softly and had no other reaction.
Qian Qinzhuan, who had already reached the door, realized that her husband looked abnormal and couldn't help but be surprised, "Husband, this is obviously a good thing... Why is your husband so depressed?"
Xia Wanchun hesitated for a moment, and said to his wife one by one, and finally said, "I am not jealous of King Jin, nor am I against my younger sister entering the palace... But, even though I have already felt the danger, I cannot persuade Your Majesty to accept advice. It is not my way!"
Looking at her melancholy husband, Qian Qinzhuan chuckled with a "pu" light. She slowly returned, walked to her husband, stretched out her white-shaped jade fingers, and tapped Xia Wanchun's forehead, "Husband is so smart and confused for a while!"
Xia Wanchun was a little dazed, and he said angrily: "Why should you make fun of your husband? I am worried about national affairs. Mrs. or... go and talk to your elder sister, little sister!"
Qian Qinzhuan covered his mouth and said, "Husband is wrong!"
"Wrong? What's wrong?" Xia Wanchun and the second monk were confused.
"Husband is indeed wrong... Imagine if Your Majesty really doesn't listen to your husband's loyal advice, how could he be the younger sister at this time?"
Xia Wanchun looked at his wife in confusion.
Seeing that her husband didn't understand, Qian Qinzhuan gave Xia Wanchun a angrily glance, "Do you think that today's son is a greedy man and a lewd man?"
Xia Wanchun immediately shook his head, "I have known Your Majesty for more than eight years... Your Majesty is not... it is absolutely impossible!"
