Chapter 206: The situation is getting hotter
"Do you think I'm spreading rumors to make trouble, so that I can use the sword of the imperial court to kill you? Wrong, I just want to find the descendants of Emperor Hui, this is the most important content of the edict of Chengzu, and the rest of the people, it doesn't make sense to kill them or not. Qiao Yu said in a serious voice.
"His Majesty Emperor Jianwen abdicated the throne and ran away to become a monk, which was done in this temple, and after His Majesty left, he had already put the world behind, how could he leave future generations?" said Master Tianci.
Master Tianci also let it go, and simply admitted that Emperor Jianwen was ordained a monk in Longxing Temple, which is of course guilty, but it was a hundred years ago, and the current imperial court may not pursue it. If Emperor Jianwen left a descendant, and the emperor now knows about it, it will be a real disaster.
"Hey, it seems that you don't know about this matter, it is estimated that the secrecy is too strict, and even you are kept in the dark, and I have a basis for saying this. Being condemned by everyone, Qiao Yu was also a little flustered, intending to explain.
"Do you have a basis??!" Murong Yanran's voice still had a fire about to erupt.
"I can't tell you that. If it was only for that treasure that the descendants of Emperor Hui's courtiers were hunted down all over the world? You are too underestimated. ”
There was silence again outside, obviously something new, and it was a big problem to break the sky, and everything had to be reconsidered and rearranged. Regardless of whether what Qiao Yu said is true or false, you have to come up with a way to deal with it.
"Is this guy telling true or false?" and was a little confused.
Besides, there was a faint feeling that Qiao Yu was telling the truth, at least he believed that Emperor Jianwen still had descendants alive.
"Fake, of course it's fake, this doesn't need to be asked, this old bastard will spread rumors and make trouble, and spew blood. The little girl exclaimed.
"Little girl, there is a price to be paid for calling me an old bastard. Qiao Yu's voice sounded in the room again.
"Then come in, who is afraid of whom?" the little girl jumped her halberd fingers like an enraged fighting, without the slightest timidity.
The little girl challenged in a high-profile manner, but Qiao Yu didn't move, I don't know if she disdained to be as knowledgeable as her, or if she was estimating her identity.
Perhaps, he is brewing a bigger move.
Emperor Jianwen still has descendants alive, this is a bombshell, if it spreads, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be shaken, and even the emperor will feel that the throne is a little shaky.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang killed heroes and made a provision that heroes and generals were not allowed to participate in state affairs, completely stifling the possibility of rebellion among military generals, until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, many generals surrendered to the enemy, but there was no one who rebelled.
However, he seemed to ignore a possibility, that is, the prince rebelled, and Zhu Di seized the opportunity and made a bad start.
Just like Tang Taizong set a bad example for the Tang Dynasty, as a result, the princes of later generations continued to rebel, and later Xuanzong was also annoyed, so he simply built a big mansion and let all the princes live in it, and no longer let the princes out of the cabinet, and the fief became a symbol.
This practice is called brotherly love, but in fact, all the princes are stared at under their noses, and of course the prince is surrounded by eunuchs sent by Xuanzong.
The Ming Dynasty did not implement this method, the prince still had to be sent to the fiefdom, but the caretaker became the local government, and the watch was tighter than the thief, the prince was not allowed to communicate with each other, and he was not allowed to move around, and the prince was not allowed to go out of the city for no reason, and even went out of the city to worship his ancestors had to ask the emperor for approval first.
Despite such strict guarding, King Ning's rebellion was almost successful, if it weren't for Wang Shouren's quick decision and fierce attack, at least half of the country would no longer belong to the imperial court.
The military generals of the Ming Dynasty had a problem, as soon as they heard that a prince had rebelled and wanted to send himself to lead troops to rehabilitate, he beat a drum in his heart and his legs were weak, which was the shadow left by Zhu Di's rebellion on the generals. So don't blame the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for ignoring family affection, these princes are all bean sprouts, give a little sunshine and dare to shine, if you seize the opportunity, you will not hesitate to rebel, in their opinion, the success rate should be very high, the example of Chengzu is the most powerful evidence.
During the Yongle period, several princes had the courage to try and raise troops to rebel, but they were all ruthlessly suppressed by Zhu Di. Then when Xuanzong, Xuanzong's uncle Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, raised troops in the fiefdom of Qingzhou, Xuanzong categorically decided to drive the expedition in person, he understood that to deal with the rebellious prince, just sending generals would not work, and it was more likely to make mistakes. Xuanzong was strategic, and he succeeded in one fell swoop.
During the time of Wuzong, two princes rebelled, one was King Ning, and the other rebellious prince was suppressed by Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides.
King Ning rebelled, and Wuzong was also the royal driver, but before he could leave the capital, King Ning had already been captured. But he still went all the way to Jiangxi in the name of his own conquest, and traveled through the mountains and rivers to harm half of the country, and the loss was far greater than that of King Ning's rebellion.
The princes fell one after another on the way to the throne, illustrating that the greatest threat to the dynasty was the princes who were divided into various places.
If the descendants of Emperor Jianwen are still alive in the world, of course, they are also prince-level, because of their orthodox background, their influence and appeal are a hundred times higher than that of King Ning, if they really want to erect a banner, there will inevitably be many people corresponding, the most terrible thing is that the general soldiers and town generals in various places can run and run for this kind of thing, and they can't run and surrender, and they can't be expected to quell the rebellion.
It's no wonder they think so, what does the battle between the royal family have to do with us, and our counterinsurgency is tantamount to being cannon fodder. There are too few people like Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren who look at the problem from the perspective of the interests of the entire country.
Qiao Yu showed the conclusion that "Emperor Hui's descendants are still alive", raising the complexity of the incident to the limit. He made it clear that whether he won or Murong Yanran won, he had to kill all the people on the other two sides, because this news could not be leaked, otherwise the world would be in chaos.
Perhaps, bandits and giants like Li Fulu will pretend to be born under the banner of Emperor Jianwen's descendants, not to mention that people like Li Fulu emerge in an endless stream in the world.
Although there are various stories of Emperor Jianwen running away and fleeing, the official version is still that Emperor Jianwen died on the same day, and Zhu Di also took out the corpse to show the ministers of civil and military affairs. As for whether the corpse belonged to Emperor Jianwen or the empress, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had never been a servant, so he naturally couldn't tell the difference.
After all, Zhu Di was a rebel and sat on the dragon chair, but in fact, he was also uneasy in his heart. As a result, although the Ancestor Protector Sect is powerful and has the holy decree of becoming an ancestor, it has been acting secretly and secretly from the beginning, like a group of ghosts wandering on the mainland.
It is said that when he became an ancestor, Hu Ying, the leader of the ancestor protection faction, once met Emperor Jianwen, and the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. At that time, Chengzu was in the barracks, Hu Ying rushed to the barracks to meet him, and talked with Chengzu for a night, what was he talking about, even the ministers and eunuchs didn't know a word.
The next morning, the emperor star fell, Chengzu died, and Hu Ying had an edict in addition to Chengzu's secret decree, which was also in the nature of a secret decree.
Hu Ying returned to the court to officially serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it seemed that the search for Emperor Jianwen had come to an end. But in fact, it is only a peaceful situation on the surface, and secretly the ancestor protector faction and the Qinwang faction are as always, and the pursuit and killing of rice have never stopped for nearly a hundred years.
Gu Yan, who refused to propose it, was the first to understand Qiao Yu's intentions, and he had no chance to watch from the wall. Originally, even if he didn't benefit from the fisherman, he could slip away while there was chaos, but now the people on both sides will not let him go, and they must get rid of him first, and then the two sides will fight a decisive battle, so that there will be no possibility of leaking the news.
"Qiao Yu, you old thief is too vicious. Senior Murong don't say it's you, even I can't look down on his arrogance. Gu Yan immediately made the decision to join forces, if he couldn't find a chance to slip away, he had to fight again, which was better than Murong Yanran and Qiao Yu joining forces to deal with him, in that case, there would really be no way to survive at all.
Gu Yan's idea was that neither Murong nor Qiao Yu would let him retreat with the treasure map, so he had been pretending to be honest and not intervening in the battle between the two parties, and he only hoped that the two sides would fight, so that he could find a chance to slip away. Now, such an opportunity is lost because of Qiao Yu's words.
"Okay, your position is close to him, you strike first to entangle him, and then I'll follow up. Murong Yanran readily agreed.
"Shall I strike first?"
Gu Yan understood that Murong Yanran was trying to use him as cannon fodder, or maybe to prevent him from making a move behind his back.
Three people, each of whom wants the other two to do the sandpiper clam fight, and the fisherman himself. Everyone is also afraid of being caught between two sides.
When they reach this realm, it is not that they do not believe in others, but they only believe in themselves, and only themselves can save themselves.
Qiao Yu smiled coldly and said, "Elder Gu, now that you think about your life, you were very brave when you grabbed the treasure map, don't you know how hot that thing is?"
Gu Yan said angrily: "If you want it, I will give it to you, why do you have to put people to death?"
"Why bother? Don't you know what this is, and dare to reach into your paws? It's just that you are so greedy that you move people you shouldn't touch, and take things you shouldn't take. ”
"Old thief Qiao, you really pinched this seat as a soft persimmon, and I will tell you a word, you found an opponent you shouldn't be looking for. Gu Yan said coldly.
"It's useless to talk nonsense, any ability can be revealed, if you really have the ability to target us all, you can take the treasure map and walk away, and then stop digging treasure. Otherwise, I'm sorry, please bury your bones here. Qiao Yu felt a chill between his teeth.
"Believe it or not, if I spread this news now, it will spread throughout the entire Fengyang Mansion in one day's work, and I don't believe that you dare to slaughter the entire Fengyang Mansion. Gu Yan made another move.
"If necessary, I will. Qiao Yu said lightly.
Everyone who heard this voice was terrified, this old guy was crazy. Only Murong Yanran and Zhou Dingcheng believe that this person can really do it, almost all the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect are crazy, otherwise who can hunt down and kill with an edict from a hundred years ago, after all, even the imperial court has turned a blind eye.
"What does he mean to kill us all? Is he crazy?" said the Duchess of England in alarm.
