Chapter VII: The Ambition of the Duke of Dingguo

And among the public of all countries.

The Duke of England and the Duke of Chengguo have important tasks in his body, while the former Duke of Qianguo committed suicide. The current Duke of Qianguo is still a child, so the responsibility of the previous King Yue.

It's all on Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong.

Dingguo Gong shared a little more, which is also the order left over from the time of Emperor Taizong.

Xu Xianzhong, the Duke of Dingguo, said: "The minister came for the war situation in Yunnan. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance. He secretly said in his heart: "Hehe, it turns out that my strategy of getting close to the nobles has attracted more ideas from the Duke of Dingguo." ”

Zhu Qizhen's support for Xungui last year, the establishment of martial arts, and the revitalization of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. and other behaviors, all of which have determined one point, that is, Zhu Qizhen is really close to Xungui.

The two families of the British Duke and the Chengguo Prince, during this period of time, most of them came for the quota of the main hall.

Dingguo Gong also had the idea of participating in government affairs.

But Dingguo Gong didn't seem to notice that the nobles close to Zhu Qizhen were all capable of fighting, and those who were the heroes of Jing's martyrdom and now the masters of the house were all second-generation.

These people dare not say that they are better than their father's generation, but they can still fight by word and deed.

But Dingguogong's family, Zhu Qizhen really didn't have a little hope.

First of all, Xu Zengshou's actions made Dingguo Gong and Wei Guogong, although they are relatives, they are quite estranged from each other.

Therefore, how many true legends of King Zhongshan were obtained by Dingguo Gong, Zhu Qizhen remained skeptical, and Xu Yaozu led the troops in the Battle of Jingnan and defeated the Northern Army several times.

And Xu Zengshou died early. Xu Jingchang is also Xu Zengshou's son and Xu Xianzhong's father. is a well-known weapon, and he has not obtained the true biography of Xu Zengshou, and he died early, Xu Xianzhong is so young, do you expect Xu Xianzhong to lead the troops to battle?

As for the influence of Dingguo Gong.

It's a joke.

Because the other princes are all famous in the war, even if they can't go to the battlefield, they still have old departments under their command, but where does Xu Zengshou have old departments.

Even if there is an old department, it is from Wei Guogong's side.

Therefore, the use of Dingguo Gong to Zhu Qizhen is only the matter of sacrificing to the emperor.

Dingguo Gong Xu Xianzhong didn't know that as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Qizhen had already guessed what he wanted to say, and he was still impassioned. talked about what the Marquis of Baoding did in Kunming, and also commented: "As soon as the Marquis of Baoding Meng Ying arrived in Yunnan, he clashed with Mu Ang, and the Mu family is in Yunnan and is familiar with the local situation. ”

To be honest, Dingguo Gong's words were in Zhu Qizhen's heart.

This is also the first thing Zhu Qizhen thought of when he saw the discord between the two generals, in the previous battle, Mu Sheng couldn't suppress Fang Zheng, so the phalanx died in battle, and the Ming army was on the side of Queen Cang, and the Lujiang line was ceded to Luchuan.

Now it's a discord between the generals and the commanders.

I don't know what the future will be

Something happened.

However, Zhu Qizhen wanted to know more about why Dingguo Gong knew so clearly, which was similar to the situation that Zhu Qizhen had mastered. You must know that Zhu Qizhen has mastered this situation, and there are at least three channels to report to Zhu Qizhen so clearly.

Among them, Mu Ang and Meng Ying's recitals are only one of them. The secret performance of the guards around Meng Ying is the second, and the last is the secret report of the Jinyi guard of the East Factory.

It is easy to deduce that Zhu Qizhen is a union between the Dingguo Mansion and the Qianguo Mansion.

"What do you think Dingguo Gong should do?" Zhu Qizhen asked with interest.

Xu Xianzhong, the Duke of Dingguo, was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should immediately dispatch a heavy general to replace Baoding Marquis Mengying. ”

"But considering that the big war is imminent. One should be chosen from among the heavy generals of the Yunnan front. ”

"Who to choose?" Zhu Qizhen said.

Xu Xianzhong, the Duke of Dingguo, said: "The ministers don't dare to say anything about this matter, but there is prestige on the front line, and it is just Mu Ang and Wang Ji." ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "You are a little smarter." ”

Ding Guogong is smart about this, which makes his fate a little better.

Zhu Qizhen was noncommittal, but just sent him away with kind words.

After Dingguo Gong Xu Xianzhong left, he immediately said: "Let Ma Shun come here." ”

Ma Shun arrived in a moment and knelt in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the folds and said, "Dingguo Gong seems to be too idle, you find something for him to do." ”

Ma Shun has been prepared for this matter for a long time.

After all, Jin Yiwei is very well-informed, he may not be able to inquire about the affairs of the palace, but he knows who entered and exited the palace just now.

So Ma Shun was on the way, and he had already gone through the file of Dingguo Gong.

Ma Shun said: "The minister obeys the order, but I don't know whether Your Majesty wants to be light or heavy? ”

Zhu Qizhen asked curiously, "Is there anything heavy?" ”

Ma Shun said: "Your Majesty said yes, then there is." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he knew that this was a false accusation, thinking that it was Jinyiwei's housekeeping skills, Zhu Qizhen said: "Dingguo Gong is sealed by Taizong, and the hereditary recklessness is unshakable. ”

Ma Shun immediately said, "Yes." He has another understanding of this sentence, that is, just do it, don't say it.

Zhu Qizhen said: "What do you say? ”

Ma Shun said: "Dingguo Gong is too small, most of them are trivial, and there is only one thing that may be used to make a fuss." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Say it." ”

Ma Shun said: "Dingguo's cousin Feng married thousands of families to solve the family, and if she wants to welcome her mother back to Beijing, Feng's younger brother, Lun is the commander of King Han's guard. His mother had a relationship with the in-laws of the Han Wangfu, but the Han King did not allow it, and some of the servants around Feng were from the Dingguo Mansion, so he contacted the local officials in the name of the Dingguo Mansion to suppress the Han Wang. Now Lord Wang Wen is inspecting the lawlessness of the vassal kings in various places, so this

, still pressed and did not burst out. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened to it, and then he had no intention of understanding, and said, "What trivial matter? It's probably the two sisters and brothers fighting for the family property, forget it, you look at it, in short, I want to make Dingguo Gong sober up, and I want Qianguo Gong to sober up. ”

"Yes." Ma Shun agreed neatly, this kind of thing is the business that Jinyiwei is most familiar with, not thousands of miles away to listen to the news.

Immediately, Ma Shun went down to make arrangements.

Zhu Qizhen was actually a little dissatisfied with Mu Ang.

Than Meng Ying is the general he personally ordered, and just after arriving in Yunnan, the battle has not yet been fought, and the two sides have made a commotion, which is slapping Zhu Qizhen in the face.

It's just that the Mu family's roots in Yunnan are too deep.

For the sake of the current war.

Zhu Qizhen can only look at the most suitable angle of the war, and let go of the discomfort in his heart.

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "Go to Wuying Hall and ask the British Duke to come over and talk about it." ”

"Yes." Wang Zhen said.

When Zhu Qizhen came to Wuying Palace, the British Gong Zhang Fu had already arrived.

Zhu Qizhen already intends to divide the civil and military system.

Generally speaking, the things he handled in the Wenhua Palace were all related to civil affairs, the things he handled in the Wuying Palace were all related to the military, and some private matters were handled by the Qianqing Palace.

Or go to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Now the three major halls have not been built.

I want to wait for the three major halls to be repaired.

The most important meetings are held in the three halls.

The British Duke is also a frequent visitor to the Wuying Palace, and after the monarch and the ministers saluted, Zhu Qizhen sat Zhang Fu down and asked: "The news from Yunnan, the British Duke has already read it." But I don't know what the British public thinks, but now Meng Ying and Mu Ang, how to choose? ”

The British public Zhang Fu has long been prepared for this. The cabinet passed on the military situation, and Zhang Fu went through it, but Zhang Fu sold a small pass, and said: "Your Majesty, do you know the battle of Baoding, where the Marquis of Baoding became famous in the first war?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Would you like to hear it? ”

He looked at the resume of the Marquis of Baoding, and knew that this battle made Meng Shan, the Duke of Teng, enter the sight of Emperor Taizong, and even laid the foundation for the Meng family to be rich and noble.

Meng Shan's title was Marquis of Baoding before his death, and after his death, he was posthumously presented to the Duke of Teng.

I also know that it is a big war to break more with less.

But I don't know how this battle was fought.

Zhang Fu said: "This battle is actually not complicated and not big. At that time, Zhang Fu followed Emperor Taizong south to Shandong and engaged Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong veteran, calmly used soldiers, killed each other, regardless of victory or defeat, and then Shanfang Zhao, safely led Shanxi soldiers out of Bauhinia Pass and came to Beijing. Ping An attacked Beijing, and Fang Zhao attacked Baoding. I want to cut my army in two. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard these familiar place names, his breath became short.
