Chapter 625: Brewing
Haimen is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but Wang Zhiren is now unable to send a sailor to meet it.
What he urgently needs now is not to rescue the sailors, but to prove his innocence.
Facing Zhu Cihong's shock and pressure, Wang Zhiren was terrified.
Therefore, changing the emperor is in his interests and can free him.
If he goes away with negative anger at this time, then he will not have his share in the next support.
So Wang Zhiren can only be silent and be a listener.
Shocked Wang Zhiren, Chen Zilong glanced at the other three majestically, "All the princes are willing to participate in the grand event, why don't you say it?" β
Qian Qianyi got up and said: "Qian thought that he should support King Lu, he should have been in charge of the country, and it is natural to return to the throne." β
As soon as he said this, Xu Fuyuan turned his face and said: "Qian Shangshu may have forgotten the performance of King Lu when I was waiting for King Lu?" β
Wang Zhiren was a little surprised, hey, these stinky literati didn't reach an agreement, which made him happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth tugged, planning to still be a melon eater.
Qian Qianyi's face remained unchanged and he retorted: "In the Jiangnan Ming Chamber, in addition to His Majesty today, King Lu is a close branch, if you don't support King Lu, who else can you support?" β
Xu Fuyuan ignored him, and arched his hand to Chen Zilong: "Xu thinks that the eldest princess should be supported." β
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhiren, Qian Qianyi, and Wang Yi's faces changed.
Wang Yi said: "Xu Xiang's words are inappropriate, right? Although the eldest princess has a noble status, she is your Majesty's sister after all, if you support the eldest princess, what is the point of deposing Your Majesty? β
Qian Qianyi also said: "In case the brothers and sisters join forces, we are only afraid of death and have no place to be buried." β
Chen Zilong finally spoke: "What Xu Xiang said is actually not unreasonable. The eldest princess has been in charge of the country for more than two years, has a gentle temperament, and respects us and others, but she is not ashamed to ask questions about all state affairs, military and politics, which is really a model of Mingjun. Although Chen was confused at the time and did the reverse thing of abolishing the establishment in Chun'an, he knew that mistakes could be corrected, and he was very good. What do you think? β
Xu Fuyuan said: "What Shoufu said is extremely true. Although the eldest princess and His Majesty are siblings, they are different people after all, and once they ascend to the supreme position, can the eldest princess still be able to cede power to her brother? β
This is indeed reasonable, no matter how kind and friendly brothers and sisters are, there is only one power, and father and son cannot share it, let alone brothers and sisters?
Wang Yi and Qian Qianyi glanced at each other, and Wang Yi said: "If Shoufu thinks that she is the eldest princess, then Wang has no disagreement." β
Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "It's all for the sake of the country, as long as the new monarch is the master...... That's enough. β
Chen Zilong smiled faintly and said, "Then settle it down, support the eldest princess!" β
All four nodded in agreement.
Chen Zilong said: "How to act next." β
Speaking of this, Chen Zilong looked at Wang Zhiren and said, "This matter still depends on the elite under the command of the Duke of Xingguo." β
Wang Zhiren was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Shoufu holding Jingwei in his hands?" β
Chen Zilong shook his head and said, "Attacked by the Qing army from Shaoxing Mansion, His Majesty ordered Liao Zhongping to lead 5,000 reinforcements...... Under the pretext that the commander of Jingwei was not there, Jingwei should be personally controlled by His Majesty to deal with the sudden attack of the Qing army, and took away the military power from Chen. β
Wang Zhiren understood, this is probably Chen Zilong's most dissatisfaction.
"How does Shousuke let Bengong behave?"
Chen Zilong looked at Wang Zhiren and said: "Although His Majesty has taken away the military power, after all, Benfu has also been in charge of Jingwei, and there are always some loyal people in his hands." As long as the Duke of Xingguo makes a change in the sailor, the imperial history will arrange for the impeachment of the imperial history, and this assistant can advise His Majesty to lead the troops to Longtan or appease or suppress, as long as His Majesty is out of the palace, the next thing will be easy to do. β
Wang Zhiren asked: "The meaning of the first assistant is to let this father ...... Raising the flag to rebel? β
"Nope. No, you don't. Chen Zilong shook his hand and said, "As long as you make a move, for example, Xingguo Gong wants to reinforce the sailor on the north bank." β
Wang Zhiren hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." This prince listens to the first assistant. β
"Then discuss the specific time and ......." The five of them slowly gathered around and whispered.
Another coup d'Γ©tat has begun.
β¦β¦γ
No group of people, any camp, can be monolithic.
The complexity of people's hearts is by no means a simple division of camps.
Qian Qianyi is an outlier in the scholarly camp.
Contains a cool hall.
Zhu Cihong had a gloomy face and paced back and forth.
"This is my loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Cihong said hatefully, "The matter of abolishing the great rebellion with the ministers is still in the name of the Jiangshan Sheji." β
Speaking of this, Zhu Cihong paused, turned around and said, "Qian Qing, do they really want to support the eldest princess?" β
Qian Qianyi replied: "There is no doubt about it. β
After Zhu Cihong sat back in the imperial case, his face slowly calmed down.
"Qian Qing thinks that Shaoxing Mansion can hold it?"
Qian Qianyi was stunned, he couldn't keep up with Zhu Cihong's thinking, so he had to respond: "According to the minister, I am afraid that Shaoxing Mansion will not be able to hold it." β
"Oh? Isn't Wu Zheng known as the god of war in our dynasty? All the wars experienced have been triumphant? β
Qian Qianyi said: "Actually, the minister has also studied the battles fought by Wu Zheng...... The minister found that there is a common denominator, that is, all the battles that won heartily were defeated by Wu Zheng, and the battles of Danyang, Dantu, and Zhenjiang, although Wu Zheng finally recovered, but the army led suffered heavy casualties, besides, this was the result of the imperial court sacrificing more than 20,000 Jingwei and containing the main force of the Qing army in Yizhen. β
"Can I think that Qian Qing means that Wu is fighting for the reputation of the god of war, and it is in vain?"
"Uh...... That's not quite the case. In fact, in all fairness, Wu Zheng still has some rules to find in the use of troops, and the ministers thought that Wu Zheng was better at creating a local superiority in troops, and then fighting a small battle to annihilate a small group of Qing troops, and his command ability was still insufficient for large-scale battles. Therefore, according to the judgment of the minister, Shaoxing Mansion could not be held, and the enemy chief Duoduo led an army of 40,000 troops, divided into two routes, all the way to attack Jinhua, containing Wu Zheng's Yanzhouwei and Jinshanwei, all the way to Shaoxing, containing Wu Zheng's Lihaiwei. The only thing that can be mobilized in Wu Zheng's hands is Hangzhou Wei, but the question is that Hangzhou Wei has all reinforces Shaoxing Mansion, does Wu Zheng dare? So there are only 10,000 people in Lihaiwei, and Duoduo has 20,000 elite Qing troops, how can Wu Zheng be able to stop it? Your Majesty knows that Duoduo is one of the few commanders of the Qing court in a hundred battles, and with Duoduo's ability, how can Wu Zheng, who is short of troops, be able to stop it? β
"Hmm......." Zhu Cihong finally nodded now, "What Qian Qing said is reasonable, even if Wu Zheng does not die, as long as he is unable to go north and get involved in the current coup, I can let it go." β
"Yes." Qian Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Cihong said: "Qian Qing, come forward." β
The two of them whispered for a while, and Zhu Cihong said: "If this matter is successful, my position as the first assistant will be Qian Qing's." β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation!" Qian Qianyi knelt on the ground and bowed and thanked him.
