Chapter 581: Falling Apart (Part II)

Of course, what Huang Chao said was only a verbal declaration, and in terms of military power and political power, he not only did not relax, but grasped it more strictly.

Now is the most critical time for the Ming Dynasty, so Huang Chao is even more direct in asking the court for resources.

Qingzhou now has a three-way threat, Liu Bei in the plains, Song Jiang in Liangshan, and Kong Rong in Beihai.

Huang Chao didn't care much about these three people, but if the three of them joined forces, even Huang Chao had to be cautious.

Huang Chao organized several major wars and wanted to unify Qingzhou, but the three parties jointly defended it, and the spare grain and grass were insufficient, so in the end they didn't get much benefit.

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of Huang Chao, how can he not blackmail some more grain and grass, after all, Yanzhou had hoarded all the grain and grass of the Yellow Turban.

Zhang Sheng was also angry about Huang Chao's robbery, but he could only grit his teeth and admit it.

Daming is now in turmoil, if the prestige of the Yellow Nest falls into the ground, it is likely to accelerate the division of the Ming Dynasty, and only pay part of the grain and grass to appease the Yellow Nest, which will already be very good, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not short of food.

Yangzhou, Shouchun.

"Yellow Nest ......"

Fang La's angry roar came from inside the governor's palace, and after a while, there were all kinds of smashing sounds.

After venting for a while, Fang La's heart was still full of anger, he naturally knew why Huang Chao supported Zhang Sheng, because Huang Chao didn't want him to be the new emperor.

Since Zhang Sheng's true identity was exposed, Fang La has been paying attention to the movements of the Central Plains, and he has faintly expected that things will get worse and worse.

Fang La did not believe that all the ministers in the court would be loyal to a woman, and once things developed beyond control, Zhang Sheng could not bear the pressure and was forced to abdicate, he Fang La was the most likely person to be enshrined as the new emperor.

After annexing Hong Xiuquan's Jiangbei land, Fang La now occupies most of Xuzhou and northern Yangzhou, becoming the second most powerful prince after the Ming court.

As long as Fang La is the new emperor, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will be doubled, which will be beneficial to both sides.

However, Huang Chao's declaration was like a needle in the sea, which calmed the turbulent Ming Dynasty temporarily, and the hearts of all parties were appeased, but it only destroyed Fang La's plan.

Fang La looked at the north from afar, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said coldly: "Huang Chao, you wait for me, this hatred and hatred, and never die." ”

Of course, Fang La knew why Huang Chao wanted to snipe at him, because when Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan were fighting for the position of successor, Fang La stood on Hong Xiuquan's side against Huang Chao, so how could Huang Chao allow Fang La to ascend to the throne of God?

"Someone." Fang La drank cold.

"The subordinates are here."

"Record the next words of the governor of Pontus, and rub them to the states in 100,000 points."

A trace of coldness flashed in Fang La's eyes, and he said lightly: "Zhang Sheng's thief's daughter pretends to be a man, cholera is overclassed, deceiving the world, named Emperor Ming, is really a thief ......."

The person who came was stunned and stammered: "Dudu, this, this, it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Fang La's eyes were full of murderous aura staring at the man, the man couldn't bear it and had to bow his head, clenched his fists and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

After the man left, Fang La's eyes became even colder, he didn't expect Zhang Sheng to be so popular that even his own henchmen spoke for her.

"Senior sister, you were allowed to sit in that position before, but because the situation was chaotic at that time, except for you, the Holy Maiden of Peace, it was difficult for everyone else to convince the public, and now that your identity has been exposed, it is time to step back and hand it over to Senior Brother and me."

There are not many people who know Zhang Sheng's true identity, but there are still a lot of people in Daming, and Fang La is one of them.

Fang La didn't say it before, he needed Zhang Sheng to stabilize the situation, but if he didn't say it now, he really didn't have the slightest chance to sit in the position of Emperor Ming.

"Senior sister, don't blame Senior Brother, it was Huang Chao who forced Senior Brother to die and break the net."

Fang La's eyes were full of coldness, and he sneered: "Next, what should you do?" ”

Between a woman and herself, Fang La is confident that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty know how to choose, after all, he has the support of the Yin and Yang family behind him.

Where did Fang La know that the Yin and Yang family was just using him, just like using Zhang Jiao at the beginning, of course, his weight was definitely not as good as Zhang Jiao.

If Huang Chao's declaration stabilized the internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, then Fang La's inscription inspired the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty.

Fang La, the biggest prince of the Ming Dynasty, all stood up and said bluntly that Zhang Sheng was the Taiping Saintess Dongfang Sheng, so did he determine the identity of Zhang Sheng's daughter?

Of course not.

In addition to Fang La's verbal bluntness, there is no evidence that Zhang Sheng is a woman, and Li Shimin's rumors are the same, there is no definite evidence.

Therefore, unless Zhang Sheng admits it in person, or conclusive evidence is found, rumors alone can only shake her foundation, and it is not enough to remove her from the throne.

If Zhang Sheng fought alone, rumors alone might be able to knock her down, but behind her were Zhang Liang, Zhang Sanfeng, Xiang Yu and other auxiliary ministers, as well as Zhang Jiao's team left for her.

Although the Ming court is not monolithic, it is still united, Fang La has clearly stood on the opposite side, and the Ming court is naturally impossible to be indifferent.

The people who were loyal to Zhang Sheng in the court all stood up and accused Fang La of being ambitious, wanting to split the Ming Dynasty, betraying the Yellow Turban, ascending the throne since then, and not being a son of man.

There are also various rumors among the people, Fang La's unscrupulous means to determine the emperor's throne, and even framed Zhang Sheng as a woman's remarks, and Fang La's reputation fell to the extreme for a while.

Yanzhou, Chenliu, Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, Fang La, the governor of Xuzhou, slandered the saint and was like a rebellious ......"

Xiang Yu stood up and spoke, and said with a cold face and clenched his fists: "The last general asks for orders to lead the army to quell the rebellion." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and if he is defeated, he is willing to give himself up to thank the world."

Xiang Yu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and understood in his heart that this junior was jealous of his prestige, so he didn't want to let himself control the military power, after all, he was the one who was most affected after he returned to the dynasty.

Xiang Yu admires Zhu Yuanzhang very much, after all, he can become Qu Shuai in the shortest time, and he has also been recognized by Zhang Jiao and accepted as a closed disciple, which shows his ability and loyalty.

"It's a pity that the desire for power and selfishness are a little heavier." Xiang Yu secretly said in his heart,

At this time, Xiang Yu finally understood why Zhang Sheng wanted to restrain Zhu Yuanzhang, because if there was no one to check and balance, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely become a generation of powerful ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang for the sake of Daming, for Zhang Sheng, in order to live up to Zhang Jiao, do everything with all his heart, work hard, and do everything personally.

But in Zhang Sheng's eyes, what Zhu Yuanzhang did became the behavior of a minister, and if Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhang Sheng's true thoughts, he didn't know how he would feel.
