To Rule in a Turbulent World

The night passed, and the next day he was shaken awake.

The person who woke him up was actually Li Yan.

"Get up!" Xie Quan said: "Master You, you can't sleep anymore! Something serious happened!"

You Miao woke up, and suddenly got up and said, "Why are you here?"

"I'm looking for you!" Xie Quan couldn't laugh or cry: "The threshold of the Zhengshi Hall has been trampled! I heard that you took the servant away and didn't stay overnight last night. I thought it might be in the Dianjin Building."

"What's the matter, Mister?" You Miao was startled, and Xie Quan hurriedly said: "Mr. Sun is fine, but it's General Nie, who is going to court today!"

You Miao had a headache, so to speak, Nie Dan really went to court, and he knew what was going on. Xie Quan was waiting for You Miao to wash up. , and followed Li Yan to leave.

The car didn't stop outside the Political Affairs Hall, but took him to the back door of the Ministry of War. He opened the door and entered. There was a roomful of people inside. A thank you right.

Seeing You Miao coming in, Pingxi said, "Nie Dan entered the morning court today, and made a scripture. We are all going crazy."

"Stop talking nonsense." You Miao said, "Is there anything to eat? Have breakfast first."

The whole room was filled with gloom, and after waiting for a long time for You Miao to come, the first sentence he said was actually this, and everyone froze again.

Ping Xi asked someone to serve clear porridge, and You Miao ate it with a slumber. During the meal, everyone looked at him, but no one spoke. After eating, they served tea again. You Miao held the teacup and groaned silently.Suddenly noticed something strange, and glanced at these young masters, from their eyes, I saw a look that I didn't have before.

That's right... Now You Miao has vaguely become the leader of everyone.No one dared to reprimand him any more, but listened to his orders and arrangements.Sun Yu is seriously ill, and You Miao will be the next political adviser. At the age of 22, he is about to become the top official, becoming a dignitary under one person, above ten thousand, and controlling the entire imperial court.

"Your Majesty knew about this yesterday afternoon." You Miao said, "That's the same thing that happened in the imperial study. Don't tell me, you don't even have eyeliners in the palace."

When You Miao swept his eyes, he knew that everyone understood.

"What's the decision today?" You Miao said.

"General Nie died." Ping Xi said: "Your Majesty Longyan was furious, but he was not punished. He was only allowed to wait in Beijing, and the frontline arrangements were all left to Li Zhifeng."

Qin Shaonan interjected, "I heard from Li Yan that you were there yesterday afternoon?"

"Yes." You Miao said: "This matter cannot be settled quickly, but can only be delayed. Let me put it this way, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. I don't agree with the abolition of the establishment, at least not now... Strange."

You Miao suddenly noticed something and asked, "Where's Li Yan?"

Ping Xi shook his head, You Miao asked: "Didn't come? Did you inform him?"

"He was detained by His Majesty." Xie Quan said, "I saw it with my own eyes when I came down to court, and Your Majesty called him over."

"Forget about Li Yan." Qin Shaonan said angrily: "The Xie family, the Tang family, and the Lin family are all in favor of peace talks, and the implication is that they all think that the establishment should be abolished. How can he sit still when he says this in front of His Majesty? ?”

"Today, there are many supporters of General Nie, and nearly half of the officials are against him. Those who do not agree with the peace talks dare not make a sound. All of them have words in their words. Seeing that General Nie has adjusted the wind direction, all the people pushed the wall down. No. Those who do not agree with them are disregarding the laws of the country, disloyal and unfilial. They are going against the sky..."

"Peace talks are a must, after all, apart from peace talks." Lin Luoyang said: "There is no other way. Now that Jiangnan has to be stabilized, the people's livelihood, and the people's vitality have been hurt after a year of war. The best way is to take them back. The two emperors, the Tatars, and the Hu people will divide the north and the south, and if possible, the north of the Yellow River will be assigned to them for the time being..."

"It's useless." Ping Xi said: "If you want peace talks, you must exchange the hostages. In exchange for the hostages, the next step is to abolish the establishment. You can't let Li Zhifeng stay silent at the front and just lead the troops to resist. He doesn't take the initiative to fight with the hostages." What does it mean that the Tatars and the Hu people will not go to war after negotiating? Besides, if we keep silent, the Tatars may not necessarily follow our wishes. We only need to send a team to send back the hostages in the north first, and then ask for peace talks. Sooner or later you will fall into a passive situation."

Having said that, let's go back to this question.

"Scholars in the south of the Yangtze River approve of Nie Dan." You Miao said, "It's because they couldn't ask for anything in front of His Highness the Third Highness."

This issue was also clear to everyone present - the reforms more than a year ago had already offended the major gentry, and now almost everyone agreed that if Zhao Chao continued to be emperor, the rights of the gentry would be further weakened.No one is willing to support him, wishing that he would roll off the dragon chair as soon as possible.

Previously, he was afraid of Nie Dan and Sun Yu.But Sun Yu was seriously ill, and Nie Dan even wrote to the court, requesting to welcome the second emperor back.Although Zhao Chao said that as the emperor, he was above all the people, but in the end he had to face the risk of standing up and abolishing if he wanted to.

"Anyway I won't...I won't...I won't..."

You Miao couldn't speak. On this occasion, it felt like nothing was right.You can't tell them that you are Zhao Chaochao's idea.

"At that time, I will go to negotiate peace in person." You Miao expressed her own meaning, and said to everyone: "Try to solve this matter, and you can do the rest."

"How do you explain..." Ping Xi stopped immediately before finishing his question.Everyone fell silent.

Xie Quan nodded and said: "There is always a way, everyone, don't worry."

"What can you do?" You Miao asked back.

Xie Quan was silent, and You Miao sneered, with a warning look in his eyes, which means that you and I know this matter well, and I don't care if you heard the discussion from others or guessed it yourself, don't do it again. Open your mouth.Xie Quan is also a sensible person, so he stopped talking.

You Miao said: "Everyone must also be clear in their hearts that His Highness has treated us well, and there is nothing else that can replace us."

You Miao made a pun, talking about both human feelings and interests.Among the people present, You Miao will become a political advisor next step.Of the other four, three of them have received the title of minister, and Li Yan, who is not present, is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.If the prince comes back to be the emperor, they will not be able to be promoted to a higher official.

Personally, it is true that what Zhao Chao gave them was almost at the top.If you want to say who will have a better life after welcoming the prince back, only Li Yan, the prince's confidant back then.But You Miao believes that Zhao Chao will not keep Li Yan in the Hanlin Academy forever, as long as he is given time, he will definitely be reused.Li Yan was not used at the beginning because Li Yan once voted for the princelings and suppressed Zhao Chao. Thinking of this, You Miao winked at Li Yan again.
