Where the root cause is, what are the countermeasures, who is the mastermind and the chief evil, and who is the coercion, are all in this book before them. Of course, although Nanjing is now ruled by the crown prince, in the face of this chaos, even if it has subsided, it must be said in the recital that there are timely countermeasures, and the handling opinions and the final conclusion are still in the hands of the emperor in Beijing.

Huang Huai wanted to use this to launch a battle against Xungui, even if it wasn't for the two innocent dead squires, after all, the deaths of these two made all their civil officials have a sad feeling of death - but also for their class, for the power struggle.

But Yang Shiqi had another opinion: "Zong Yu, not this time. ”

In Yang Shiqi's view, the death of the two squires not only damaged the face of the court, but also disgraced their families and all civil officials. And what will be the final result, the emperor was forced by the pressure of the civil officials to really investigate the mastermind behind the scenes - but now is the critical time of the Northern Expedition, even if the emperor knows that it is their hands, but now he wants to use them, where will he be investigated?

Since the emperor will not really investigate it, then these nobles naturally have substitutes for the ghosts, and there is no damage in the slightest. Most likely, the civilian officials killed a group because they did not have enough food. The generals may also be punished, but they will be reinstated in the near future, because if the Northern Expedition wins, they will definitely be rewarded!

"In the hands of Emperor Gao, Wenchen is a dog and a horse," Yang Shiqi sat on the chair and slowly stretched his legs: "In today's hands, it seems that the civil and military are both long, but the military generals are the henchmen and henchmen of the common suffering, and Wenchen still kills a batch of grass mustard dogs and horses in his bones." ”

Wenchen has always been for the emperor to drive others, although everyone looks down on Chen Ying, but Yang Shiqi knows that they are actually Chen Ying. And this time, Wenchen, who felt the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox, naturally did not want to become the next Huang Guoguang or Wang Mian, and they would gather together to express their ideas and wishes to the emperor - is this what the emperor wants to see?

Would the emperor be happy to see the playthings in his hands gain insight and begin to rebel against him? When the emperor was forced to execute this group of nobles under the pressure of the ministers, I am afraid that it was also the time when the ministers would finish the game.

"The backer behind these nobles is the emperor himself," Yang Shiqi said: "To a certain extent, if you move them, you touch the emperor." The reason why the emperor separated the civil and military forces was because he saw the uselessness of the civil ministers in the hands of Emperor Jianwen, and even misled the country. He also saw the disaster caused by Emperor Gao's removal of military generals. Therefore, in the emperor's heart, Wenchen can be killed, and it is okay to kill as much as he wants, but the military generals cannot easily raise the butcher's knife. Therefore, in such a situation, the generals and generals will always be superior in the emperor's heart, and we will put ourselves and the generals and nobles on such a scale, no matter how much weight we add to ourselves, we will never be able to defeat the emperor's eccentricity. ”

Huang Huai was stunned by what he said, and a big drop of ink dripped from the pen in his hand, soaking the entire page of paper.

"Brother Shiqi," Huang Huai said dumbfoundedly: "We have offended Xungui, what is the princess's plan, you have also seen it, is there a way back?"

"The crown princess will react soon," Yang Shiqi rolled his eyes and sighed slightly: "She has the same idea as our most consistent proposition, that is, to protect the crown prince." The crown prince is our greatest hope, and it is the benevolent king of God to the Ming Dynasty, and we must keep the prince no matter who we sacrifice. ”

At the same time, Zhang Zhaohua met the sons and daughters of the lords who came to the Chunhe Palace one after another.

It is said that it is the sons of the ministers, because the real ministers have followed the emperor to the north, leaving behind almost their brothers and grandchildren, this group of people have nothing to do, Zhang Zhaohua has heard of it, if their father and brother still retain a little bit of the courage of the time of the martyrdom, then these people are the people who enjoy the dividends of the martyrdom, and they are all thorough gentlemen.

Among them, it is naturally represented by Zhang Hui and Zhang Xuan, the two younger brothers of the British Gong Zhang Fu, whose abilities are really different from Zhang Fu, but because his father is Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, Zhang Hui was named the commander of the Shen Cewei, and Zhang Xuan became the Jinyi Guard.

Zhang Hui is an iron-clad supporter of Han King Gao Xu, but Zhang Hui's attitude is very subtle, as if he is waiting. But Xie Chuan once told her that Zhang Xuan was indeed a smart person.

The children of these lords and ministers received an edict from the prince to enter the palace, but they did not see the prince, but the crown princess. Zhang Zhaohua sat on the throne in the hall and looked at them coldly.

"There has been such a big incident in the past three or five days," Zhang Zhaohua said: "The three thousand battalions mutinied, and the rebels openly besieged the ministry and killed the officials, shouting and clamoring, and it has not dispersed so far, I don't know if you know?"

More than a dozen nobles looked at each other, each thinking about it, and Zhang Hui said: "So that the mother knows that the ministers were shocked to hear the mutiny, and they were restless, and they were only called to see them today." The 3,000 battalions are the emperor's own army, and such an act is indeed lawless and unorthodox. It's just that the soldiers went to the front of the household yamen to make noise because they had been short of pay for a long time, which can be regarded as excusable. I heard that Niangniang had sent someone to appease her, and I thought that it would be peaceful soon. ”

Zhang Zhaohua looked at their seemingly respectful but unpredictable faces, and couldn't help but be angry. At this time, these people are still vain and unafraid.

"It seems that I will be wrong, now is not the time to work together and get through the hardships together?" Zhang Zhaohua said: "The lights were bright last night, I seemed to go back to seven or eight years ago, and I haven't been so noisy and lively in Nanjing for a long time." I don't know whether it is better to be more lively or less lively, and I don't know if it has alarmed the mausoleum of Taizu? I was really worried, and I sent someone to Xiaoling early in the morning to have a look, and this person also came back, saying that everything was fine, but the strong wind pulled out the trees, and blew off a few Gongsun trees in the filial piety tomb. ”

Zhang Zhaohua said this half-truth, because it was true that the person from the palace supervisor of Xiaoling came to report that Nanjing had blown the roots of a Gongsun tree in the mausoleum out of the ground because of the fierce monsoon, and everything else was fine.

These dozen nobles are not fools, and when they reacted, they couldn't help but secretly inhale a breath of cold air, the crown princess compared this mutiny with the Jingjing disaster seven years ago, Nanjing was burned by soldiers, and also mentioned that Taizu's mausoleum was uneasy, which was tantamount to a blow to the head, and these people were stunned. Because if it really involves the uneasiness of the Taizu Divine Master, this is an ending that no one can please well, and many of the things that the nobles have decided before will not be counted at all.

Among these nobles, even if some people didn't understand Zhang Zhaohua's power before, they now know about it. The empty hall suddenly became audible in the pin drop.

Zhang Zhaohua saw that these people gradually began to frown, and his expression became worried, so he sighed and said: "Nanjing is the capital of the country, a place of admiration from all directions, and such a serious mutiny occurred, and during the emperor's northern tour, we and other people who stayed behind will not escape the blame." Now that things have happened, we have to try our best to make amends. I wonder what you should do with it?"

Among the sons of this nobleman, he stood up and said: "Niangniang Mingcha, the so-called tracing back to the source, the cause of the matter is the lack of silver food, so that the soldiers are resentful, this is not the work of a 3,000 battalion, I am afraid that other large battalions and the border army stationed in Beijing are all thinking like this, if the problem of silver money is not solved, I am afraid that soon after, there will be successors one after another, in the end, the soldiers of each battalion have been shaken, and the situation is in danger." ”

His words were agreed by everyone, and everyone said that food and salary were the crux of the problem, and if they wanted to appease the mutinous soldiers, they had to solve the problem of food and salary.
