At the beginning of September, Wang Yuan received an urgent delivery from Tiqi, asking him and Wang Yangming to go to Jiujiang to pick up the driver.

Wang Yangming was suddenly taken aback, and asked Natiqi: "Didn't Your Majesty receive the report documents?" ”

"Back to Yang Minggong, Your Majesty has received good news, and only led three thousand light horsemen to Nanxing." Ti Cai was very polite to Wang Yangming, just because Li Ying, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was a student of Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming was speechless for an instant.

Wang Yuan said solemnly: "Sir, I will go to Jiujiang to prepare for the drive, and you stay in Nanchang to clean up the whole thing." Remember, don't leave Nanchang! ”

"Why?" Wang Yangming didn't understand.

Wang Yuan explained: "Since Your Majesty has come from the south, there must be Jiang Bin and Xu Tai with him. These two people are extremely greedy, and they have nothing to do with King Ning, how could they let Nanchang go? ”

Wang Yangming was silent at first, and then said: "It's better to think about it well." ”

Why won't Jiang Bin and Xu Tai let Nanchang go?

Because of the silver!

They didn't need to come in person, as long as they asked the emperor for an errand, they could send someone to Nanchang to search for the remnants of King Ning.

Those who don't give the silver are the remnants, and those who give enough silver are good people, and the people in Nanchang City don't know how many families are ruined.

In history, Wang Yangming was victimized by Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Zhang Zhong in turn, just because he neither cooperated with the emperor nor allowed these people to take the opportunity to make money.

At that time, Wang Yangming's report document was directly detained by Jiang Bin and not issued, and the military officials did not know that King Ning's rebellion had been settled. But Zhu Houzhao had to have a suitable reason to recruit in person, so he asked Wang Yangming to quietly let go of King Ning, this kind of nonsense was not because his brain was in water, but because the emperor was unwilling to return to Beijing.

Jiang Bin first sent Jinyiwei to discuss with Wang Yangming in private, as long as Wang Yangming cooperates, it will be a good situation for everyone.

But Wang Yangming pretended not to understand, and only gave Jinyiwei five taels of gold as filial piety money. This was deliberate by Wang Yangming, and it was only a few dozen taels when converted into silver, and Jinyiwei refused to accept it because of the lack of money, so he held a grudge against Wang Yangming.

The next day, the Jinyiwei went back to restore his life, Wang Yangming personally saw him off, took Jinyiwei's hand and said: "I have been in Jinyiwei prison before, and I have dealt with many officials in your yamen. The gold I gave you yesterday was just a gift exchange, and I didn't think that you wouldn't accept this money, which made me die of shame. I have no other strengths, only some poetry and articles, and he will sing the praises of the virtue of the king one day, so that everyone in the world will respect and worship. ”

Jin Yiwei was stunned, but also a little moved and flattered, and reminded Wang Yangming to be careful.

As soon as Jinyiwei left, Wang Yangming immediately escorted King Ning on the road, and deliberately staggered with the emperor's southbound route. On the way, he was blocked by two eunuchs, and the two eunuchs were shameless and nameless, so Wang Yangming found out the bribery account books about the two, and burned them on the spot after some intimidation.

The two eunuchs were shocked, frightened and grateful, and immediately left in disgrace, reminding Wang Yangming to do it himself.

The third group of people was a eunuch, and he had not accepted bribes from King Ning. Wang Yangming pointed to the prisoner car escorting King Ning and said, "As long as you sign the paperwork, I will let King Ning go immediately." ”

How dare the eunuch sign?

If something really went wrong, he had to carry it, so he was also scared away by Wang Yangming.

Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Zhang Zhong were extremely angry, so they framed Wang Yangming to befriend King Ning, and borrowed 1,000 elite soldiers to rebel against King Ning.

On the way, Wang Yangming met Yang Yiqing, who had already been a scholar, and Yang Yiqing asked Wang Yangming to return to Nanchang quickly, because Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong had already collected money.

Wang Yangming originally wanted to go to Nanjing to see the emperor and personally refute and wash away the stain of his rebellion. Hearing that the people of Nanchang were in trouble, he immediately rushed back to Nanchang, and after only a few days of hard work, Nanchang had already suffered, and he directly followed Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong to be tough, and finally did not let the people continue to suffer.

In this way, Wang Yangming is equivalent to offending all the close ministers around the emperor.

Coupled with the political dispute between Yang Tinghe and Wang Qiong, he offended Yang Tinghe to death, how could he end up with any benefit?

Jiang Bin and others framed Wang Yangming to participate in the rebellion, which was directly recorded in the "Records of Ming Wuzong". At the same time, it was recorded that Wang Yangming slaughtered the people of Nanchang with his troops, which was actually a murder created by Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong in order to collect money.

Wang Yangming is even luckier now, he has a good student named Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan specially told the people who reported the victory that if the emperor had already left Beijing, he must shout in public, "Jiangxi is a great victory, King Ning has been captured", and did not leave any room for the emperor to conquer himself.

Since all the officials knew that King Ning had been defeated, there was no need for Zhu Houzhao to let King Ning go, thus resolving the direct contradiction between Wang Yangming and the emperor.

But the emperor still chose to go south, and also asked Wang Yuan and Wang Yangming to go to Jiujiang to pick up the driver.

Wang Yuan thought with his heels and knew that this must have been instigated by Jiang Bin. If Wang Yuan and Wang Yangming are transferred out of Nanchang, Jiang Bin will be able to send people to investigate the remaining party, and the entire Nanchang City will be able to loot at least a million taels of silver!

End of September.

The emperor drove to Jiujiang, and Wang Yuan took his wife and children out of the city to greet him.

Before Zhu Houzhao left the Shuiyi Wharf, he reprimanded in public: "Erlang, why don't you wait? Cause me to run for nothing! ”

Wang Yuan didn't confront the emperor, nor did he make any big senses, but just shouted: "The minister is wronged." The minister originally wanted to block King Ning on the Ganjiang River, so that His Majesty could come to ask for it in person, but who would have expected King Ning to be so useless! At that time, he still had 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, and according to common sense, he could hold out at least two or three months. Kechen and the teacher only brought some Xiangyong to confront, and King Ning's tens of thousands of troops collapsed directly. It's not that the ministers don't wait for Your Majesty, but King Ning doesn't wait for Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless, and finally asked, "How did King Ning lose?" To be honest, I don't believe he's that! ”

Wang Yuan said: "That's true. At that time, the Xiangyong volunteers had just approached, and King Ning had more soldiers, more ships, and more artillery, but they were instantly dispersed before the battle began. Thousands of people jumped off the river, causing a great rout of the rebels, and even the generals of King Ning's sailors ran away. What else can the minister do? Let those rebels swim back to the ship and continue fighting? ”

This made Zhu Houzhao laugh, and it is estimated that he also felt very funny. The anger in the emperor's heart was dissipated in this way, and he immediately scolded: "King Ning, this bastard, dares to rebel even if he doesn't practice his fighting skills, it's just perfunctory!" If I had known, I would have restored the guard in advance and let him train well. ”

Wang Yuan joked and said: "Your Majesty, with the respect of the Ninety-Five, can also study the art of war and be familiar with military affairs. But which vassal king in the world has His Majesty's perseverance and intelligence? King Ning felt that His Majesty was stupid and ridiculous, but he didn't know that His Majesty was like a god in using soldiers, and he himself was really stupid and ignorant! ”

"Erlang's words won my heart." Zhu Houzhao laughed happily.

Wang Yuan took the opportunity to introduce again: "Your Majesty, this is the dog Wang Ce. ”

Wang Ce had already practiced, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Boy Wang Ce, meet the Holy Son of Heaven!" ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that Wang Ce was carrying a short bow, and asked curiously: "How old are you, you can shoot arrows with a bow?" ”

Wang Ce replied, "It was my grandmother and master who taught me." ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Ce'er's master is also Chen's martial arts teacher. His name is Yuan Gang, the father of Yuan Da, and he is now a general of the Song clan in Guizhou. ”

Zhu Houzhao also knew Yuan Da, after all, they had fought together in the valley. He smiled and said: "If you can teach Erlang and Yuan Da, presumably this Yuan Gang is excellent in martial arts, and he can go to the leopard room to listen to errands." ”

Wang Yuan did not agree with this matter, Yuan Gang is now the head of the Song generals, how happy and comfortable he is in Guizhou, he will be buried if he enters the leopard room. Moreover, Yuan Gang will not greet him, and he may not be able to get ahead in the leopard room, so he can only be a royal guard for the rest of his life.

Wang Yuan knew how to divert the emperor's attention, and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, in fact, he has dealt with Taizu. ”

Zhu Houzhao really became interested and asked, "Oh, which famous general is his ancestor?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Master Yuan's surname is Zhao, and his name is 'Shuangdao Zhao'. ”

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise: "But Zhao Pusheng?" ”

"Exactly." Wang Yuan replied with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "No wonder Erlang is brave and unparalleled, and he actually learned the martial arts of the Zhao family!" ”

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Pusheng led the army to attack Chizhou, and Xu Da took Yu Tonghai, Zhao Desheng, and Yu Tingyu to rescue. First Yu Tonghai was defeated by Zhao Pusheng, then Zhao Desheng was defeated by Zhao Pusheng, and Xu Da personally joined the battle group and was also defeated. As a result, Xu Da could only leave Chizhou with his troops and let Zhao Pusheng capture the city and kill the defenders.

Such a fierce general, Zhu Yuanzhang used a discord trick to successfully make Chen Youliang suspicious, one said that Zhao Pusheng was murdered, and the other said that Zhao Pusheng was forced to be incognito.

Of course, Chen Youliang just took advantage of the situation, because Zhao Pusheng was the leader of the army, and there was a potential risk of betrayal, so he killed and annexed his subordinates.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also done this kind of thing, such as Guo Zixing's subordinate Shao Rong, who is almost a copy of Zhao Pusheng. After Guo Tianxu's death, Shao Rong was very obedient and never disobeyed military orders, but Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious of him. Because Zhu Yuanzhang and Shao Rong used to be equals, Shao Rong nominally obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, but his troops were semi-independent.

In the end, Shao Rong was still killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving a suspicious "rebellion" case. When writing history, I had to step on it and put Shao Rong's military exploits on the heads of Xu Da and Li Wenzhong. As the commander of many battles, he was downplayed as Shao in the history books.

It's not a question of whether you rebel or not, it's that you have the ability to rebel, so I have to get rid of you. Chen Youliang is like this to Zhao Pusheng, Zhu Yuanzhang is like this to Shao Rong, Wang Yuan doesn't want to be a master one day.

Therefore, Yuan Gang must not go to the leopard room again, because there is already a Li Sanlang who has entered the Jinyi Guard.

Zhu Hou looked at Yuan Da not far behind Wang Yuan, beckoned, "Yuan Er, come here!" ”

"See Your Majesty!"

Yuan Da knelt down on one knee and saluted, although he did not have any position, he studied martial arts in the capital, which was equivalent to a reserve officer of the Central Military Academy.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and asked: "Are you a descendant of Zhao Pusheng?" ”

Yuan Da said: "Exactly! ”

Zhu Houzhao said with emotion: "Shuangdao Zhao was loyal to Chen Youliang back then, but he was still victimized by Chen Youliang. If Chen Youliang can reuse Zhao Pusheng, Emperor Taizu will sweep the world, I am afraid it will take more effort, and it is unknown who will win or lose. ”

Wang Yuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree, Taizu is bound to sit on the country." ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and asked: "Do you want to say that Taizu is the destiny of heaven?" ”

He shook his head and said: "The minister is only in his twenties this year, and he has not yet reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, so he does not dare to speak of the destiny of heaven, but only knows the people's hearts." But at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebels from all walks of life swarmed, but Taizu was the only one who worked hard to manage Tuntian. For example, Chen Youliang has a vast land and many people, but he does not produce, forcibly requisition people's husbands and grain and grass, and his jurisdiction has long been strong and strong; For example, Zhang Shicheng took advantage of Haili, sat on the salt tax, and had countless amounts of money. In the same way, there was no production, so that the silver could not be used up, but the military rations were not enough to eat, and the silver could not be bought. Taizu raised troops in Tuntian, and the people were able to breathe, and the hearts of the people naturally followed. Taizu can be defeated once, twice, or even ten or twenty times. As long as it doesn't hurt the fundamentals, it can be regrouped. And Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's generation, they only need to lose a few more times, and the people's hearts will be scattered, and there will even be no food to collect. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "You have a point." The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and Taizu Tuntian has great benefits. ”

Wang Yuan took the opportunity to say: "Therefore, Taizu can sit in the world, not only with soldiers like gods, but also with internal affairs first." ”

"You're trying to persuade me not to be reckless?" Zhu Houzhao glared at Wang Yuan, and did not reprimand, but said to Yuan Da, "In the future, you will change your name to Zhao Da, and don't insult the prestige of your ancestors." ”

Yuan Da said gratefully: "Thank you! ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly bent down, picked up Wang Ce and said, "Let's go, let's go into the city." I want to go to the king of Huining in person and ask him why he didn't practice his skills and rebel again, so that I, the general, would be in vain. It's a big damn thing! ”
