第一百三十七章 御前激辩(上)(1 / 2)

大明王侯 贼眉鼠眼 0 字 2021-04-20

武英殿内,十数盏精致的宫灯高高悬挂在大殿的盘龙柱上方,照得殿内如同白昼般通亮。</p>

朱允炆站在龙案一侧,神情说不出的忧虑。</p>

龙案前,春坊讲读官黄子澄神色平静的站着,他的身旁,兵部尚书茹瑺,兵部左侍郎齐泰,户部尚书郁新,左都御史暴昭等朝中数位重臣并排而立。</p>

北平告急的军报传进宫里没多久,这些大臣就被朱元璋火速召进了皇宫,商讨对策。</p>

朱元璋穿着一身明黄便服,坐在龙案后的椅子上,头发略显凌乱的散落几缕在鬓边,脸上几块老年斑在宫灯的照映下分外醒目苍老,他脸色已是一片铁青,视面前数位重臣而不见,目光如鹰隼般死死盯着龙案上的军报,仿佛那是一块烙铁一般,烫得他眼睛生疼。</p>

很难想象,一个年迈迟暮,垂垂老矣的老人,在这一刻竟能暴射出如此令人震慑的气势。</p>

殿内的气氛很沉闷,众人大气也不敢出,垂头躬身等待着朱元璋发话。</p>

沉默良久,朱元璋抬起头,缓缓扫视众臣,语气无比阴森:“朕,立国大明三十年,三十年前,朕驱除鞑虏,光复我汉人江山,北元蒙古被朕打得一败再败,他们丢盔弃甲逃回了草原大漠,从此不敢越长城半步!朕立国后,深知江山易得难守的道理,不顾众皇子身份尊贵,命他们一一就藩边陲,治军治民,以防北元鞑子死灰复燃,时来亦有二十余年矣……”</p>

众臣急忙躬身齐道:“陛下英武圣明,威服宇内——”</p>

朱元璋没理会众臣敷衍般的恭维,而是狠狠的一拍龙案,怒目圆睁嘶吼道:“可是,为何一个区区五万人的小部落,如今居然敢兵围我北平府?那些鞑子以为朕老了,便拿不动刀剑了么?鞑子安敢如此欺朕!”</p>

天子之怒,雷霆万钧,殿内顿时充满了凌厉的肃杀之气,吓得众臣急忙跪倒,齐声道:“陛下息怒——”</p>

朱元璋浑浊的老眼布满了血丝,他阴沉着脸,森然道:“他们以为朕老了,拿不动刀剑了,便可以肆意妄为了么?朕还没死,还轮不到那些该死的蛮夷猖獗嚣狂!朕要御驾亲征,让那些鞑子看看,朕的刀剑是否如当年一般锋利……”</p>

众臣闻言顿时一个激灵,这下他们是真的慌了。</p>

黄子澄率先奏道:“陛下,万万不可!区区五万人而已,陛下怎可草率亲征?所谓千金之子,坐不垂堂,陛下乃九五之尊,天下共主,岂可舍本逐末,轻身犯险?陛下,臣以死谏,望陛下收回成命!”</p>

左都御史暴昭道:“陛下,天子不可轻易亲征,自古天子亲征者,无非两种不得不为的原由,其一者,国家危难,江山社稷悬于一线,天子征讨,乃为力挽狂澜,扶保社稷不失,其二者,乾坤即定,胜券在握,需天子亲往,激励将士士气,一战而定乾坤。非此二者情形,天子不可轻易出征,如今只是区区北元一个小部落兵围北平而已,既不算国家为难,亦难称乾坤即定,陛下出征,何以师名?”</p>

众臣一齐伏地拜道:“臣等附议。”</p>

朱允炆在一旁急道:“皇祖父年事已高,怎可为了区区跳梁小丑长途奔波?孙儿不肖,愿代皇祖父亲征,为祖父扫除北元,将他们再次赶回草原大漠。”</p>

朱元璋目光闪动,慈爱的看着朱允炆,脸色不由变得愈发复杂莫名。</p>

长长叹了口气,朱元璋颓然的坐回了椅子上,他的身体只有他自己最清楚,刚才只是说说气话,如今他年迈多病,多曰来缠绵病榻,不得不靠汤药维生,怎么可能有体力和精力御驾亲征?</p>

只有当自己真正拿不动刀剑时,才能深刻体会到英雄迟暮的悲凉。</p>

殿内众臣见朱元璋没说话,不由纷纷抬头望向他,他们的眼神很坚决,很明确的诉说着一个信息,如果朱元璋坚持御驾亲征,他们将不惜以死劝谏。</p>

良久,朱元璋自嘲般悲凉的笑道:“朕……果真还是老了啊。”</p>

听着这话,众臣心里这才松了口气。</p>

所有人的想法都一样,一个小小的部落兵围北平或许有些反常,但毕竟只有几万人,如果惊动大明天子亲征,不大不小也成笑柄了,那时皇家威严何在?朝廷体面何在?</p>

朱元璋抬眼看了看朱允炆,缓缓摇头道:“太孙身系江山社稷传承,不可领军犯险,诸爱卿,此事当如何处置?”</p>

黄子澄道:“陛下,北平被围,实出我等意料之外,军报上只说了北元乞儿吉斯部落出兵,却并没说他们兵围北平的原因,北平府乃四皇子燕王的封地,燕王如今尚在京师,臣以为,陛下可召燕王先问清事情的来龙去脉。”</p>

黄子澄这番稳重之言令众人皆点头赞同。</p>

朱允炆想了想,道:“皇祖父,锦衣卫负责刺探,潜伏,肃敌等事宜,孙儿以为针对北平被围一事,不妨也将锦衣卫都指挥使李景隆,还有锦衣卫同知萧凡都召来,共同商讨此事。”</p>

朱元璋瞧了他一眼,心知孙儿这是有意抬举萧凡在朝中的地位,区区一个同知本无资格参加这种重大的国事讨论,不过孙儿既然有抬举萧凡的意思,朱元璋倒也不便反对。</p>

于是朱元璋点头道:“准,来人,宣燕王,曹国公李景隆,萧凡觐见。”</p>

门外宦官恭声应了,急忙往宫外跑去。</p>

黄子澄和黄观等人见朱允炆时刻不忘抬举萧凡,脸色顿时变得有些难看,板着脸站在龙案前一言不发。</p>

萧凡接到宫中宦官的传召已是快一更时分,他不敢怠慢,匆忙穿了官服便往宫里赶去。</p>

朱元璋深夜召见,不知出了什么大事,萧凡一边往宫里赶,心里一边忐忑不安。</p>

老朱该不会发现什么了吧?</p>

萧凡现在最心虚的,就是他和江都郡主之间的事,这事儿若让老朱察觉了,恐怕他见不到明天早上的太阳了。</p>

离宫门越近,萧凡心里越战战兢兢。——所以说,为人不做亏心事,半夜不怕朱元璋敲门,萧凡觉得以后说话做事还是光明正大一点的好。</p>

雇的马车在承天门的石牌下停住,萧凡下了马车,眼睛四下张望了一番,却见四周通亮,锦衣亲军举着火把或宫灯,排着整齐的队伍来回巡逻,金水桥边的值夜宦官们也不敢怠慢的四下巡梭走动,还没进承天门便能感觉到皇宫森严的戒备。</p>

萧凡刚往前走了两步,便有一队锦衣亲军警惕的围了上来,验过他的腰牌之后才放行。</p>

萧凡奉诏进宫,当然不担心有人把他当刺客,身份验证过后,一队锦衣亲军护送着他往宫里走去。</p>

走到桥边,却见正前方停着一辆装饰非常豪华的车驾,车厢以馏金装饰,缀以白玉珍珠,车头双马拉辕,一看便是王侯家的马车。</p>

萧凡神色一凝,转头问身旁护送他入宫的锦衣百户军官道:“陛下还召见了谁?这是谁家的马车?”</p>

军官认识萧凡是锦衣卫同知,锦衣亲军隶属锦衣卫管辖,说来萧凡是他的顶头上司,于是不敢怠慢,恭声道:“萧大人,陛下召见了春坊讲读官黄子澄大人,兵部尚书茹大人,兵部左侍郎齐大人等等,这是燕王殿下的车驾,燕王殿下也是刚刚到的……”</p>

萧凡一听心里便松了口气,朱元璋同时召见这么多人,应该跟他和江都郡主的事没关系。</p>

放下心的同时,萧凡眼珠转了转,坏水儿又开始咕噜咕噜往外冒。</p>

走到燕王的马车前,沉吟了一下,萧凡摸着下巴道:“燕王的车驾太豪奢了,这样不好,很不朴素啊……”</p>
