Chapter 159: Meng Yangfengyun

This time, Wang Jixi conquered Mengyang, in fact, the biggest instigator was King Xiang.

Without him, King Xiang took the woman of the Luchuan Sijia as his concubine, and pulled over a part of the Luchuan Sijia left in Luchuan. But Sijifa did not die for a day, and he influenced King Xiang to expand his sphere of influence one day, and brought over the Tusi who was originally subordinate to the Luchuan Sijia.

So King Xiang wanted to borrow the knife of the court to scare these toasts.

But for Wang Ji, it's different.

Since the dust settled in the Beijing court, Wang Ji knew one thing, guarding Yungui was probably the last official in his life.

Zhu Qizhen gave him a very simple task, it was to guard Yungui, as long as Yungui didn't cause chaos.

Wang Ji spent more than half a year sorting out the Yunnan-Guizhou place and the toast. Internally, although the heart of the maladministration has been eliminated, externally, there is actually not much attack on Yuwang.

If it weren't for the fact that King Xiang kept putting pressure on him. This time for the westward expedition, Wang Ji is likely to be placed next year, or the year after that.

Therefore, King Xiang knows how rare this opportunity is. I also know how much capital and political resources he has invested here.

If you want to have a next time, it's basically impossible.

But when the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, King Xiang had to make a choice.

King Xiang sighed, cleaned up his mood, and went to see Wang Ji.

As soon as Wang Ji heard that King Xiang was coming, he immediately went out to greet him. After King Xiang and Wang Ji greeted each other, they began to speak.

In fact, Wang Ji has always felt a headache for King Xiang.

This King Xiang was nominally his subordinate, a student. But in fact, can Wang Ji really take King Xiang as a subordinate student? can only coax, offer, and scold those who can't fight.

Also, King Xiang himself is a reasonable person. Knowing the sense of proportion has made Wang Ji have a lot less trouble. If you meet the kind of vassal king who ignores the three points and relies on his identity and status, he messes around. Wang Ji didn't know how much hair he was going to lose because he was worried.

It's just that King Xiang is too sensible, and it's not a good thing.

Because such a person cannot be easily moved.

For example, in the case of the present.

Wang Ji said: "Lord Wang, this time, you have figured it out?" ”

King Xiang said: "My lord, this king still doesn't agree, it's not that this king doesn't know the reason, but the problem is too big, the biggest problem, Meng Yang gave a head, who knows if it's a thought, if not, we will report it to the court, this is the crime of bullying the king?" How do you and I deal with it? ”

With the large army of Meng Yang approaching step by step. Sijifa tried his best, sniping along the road, attacking the grain road, buying toast from all over the country, and so on.

Even on the Jinsha River, the two sides fought the largest battle since the Western Expedition.

Naturally, the Ming army won a big victory, and Siji was defeated

, and then the Jinsha River was lost. Between the army and Meng Yang, there was no longer an obstacle.

At this time, Siji sent a messenger to say that he was willing to sacrifice the head of Xiang Shang to keep Meng Yang in the hands of Sijia.

After this condition came, King Xiang was the first to object.

As mentioned above, is King Xiang here to kill Sijifa's cheap brother-in-law? No, I want to expand my territory. Accept the complete Luchuan River, not the Luchuan River Valley, which is a few counties.

But others don't think so.

First of all, the local toasts, even the Burmese pythons, agree with this opinion.

This is also the unspoken rule of toast.

Generally speaking, toast and toast are people in the same circle, and the people below should never want to be toast.

Not every nation will shout that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? So generally speaking, no matter how everyone fights, whether it is victory or defeat, toast is still toast, and the slaves below are still slaves.

It's not uncommon to kill them all. But it doesn't fit everyone's moral values.

In addition, King Xiang's intentions are so obvious, and everyone is even more reluctant to get King Xiang's wish.

Secondly, Wang Ji does not have much obsession with destroying Sijia. Sijia father and son rebelled against the imperial court, but they were criminals of the imperial court, and they must die, which is politically correct. Undoubtedly. But Wang Ji understands very well that his accusation is to be stable, not to come here to expand his territory.

Sijia was forced to this point, even if Sijifa saved the remnants of the Sijia with his own life, but the remnants of the Sijia family can only be a man with his ass in the future.

It will not be a threat to the imperial court at all. In addition, the aftermath of Meng Ying's big victory is still there. In one or two decades, there will be no mess.

As for the future, Wang Ji won't care too much. He estimates that in one or two decades, even if ** Toast doesn't do it, he will not do it today.

Wang Ji has also figured out his thoughts many times today.

Wang Ji listened to King Xiang's words, but he was overjoyed and said, "What King Xiang said is extremely true. I don't know what King Xiang thinks should be done? ”

Before, King Xiang didn't say much at all and fiercely opposed it. At this moment, King Xiang was still opposed, but he had already taken a step back, and Wang Ji even read the subtext of King Xiang. That is, if the person who dies is really thoughtful. He wasn't against it anymore.

King Xiang had no choice, he wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible, so he could only give in.

King Xiang said: "The Sijia can be kept, and the court can also seal the Sijia Meng Yang to proclaim consolation, but the Sijia thinks of the machine, but against the imperial court, the sins are heavy, and they cannot be kept, so they can only choose the head of the Sijia family from among the rest of the Sijia." ”

Wang Ji suddenly remembered something, and said, "Is there a candidate for King Xiang?" ”

King Xiang said: "Si Kaifan can take on this responsibility. ”

Who is the so-called Sikaifan? is the real brother-in-law of King Xiang.

It is also a talent selected by King Xiang from the home. Under the circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to even be literate, let alone name any talents.

King Xiang originally wanted to take down Meng Yang, so he thought about guarding this place, after all, he couldn't just use the talents brought from other places, otherwise it would be easy to lose the hearts of the local people.

It's just that I didn't expect it, and now I still let Si Kaifan guard this place, but the meaning is completely different.

Although King Xiang felt that he could hold his thoughts open, the consolation envoy was hereditary. The future is a big hidden danger, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.

But now, it is the least hidden danger that King Xiang can think of, otherwise Meng Yang is in the hands of the remnants of the Si family, and King Xiang will not have to think about doing anything else in Luchuan.

Wang Ji said: "Since the prince is interested, this matter will be handed over to the prince to do, and the palace will wait for good news." ”

King Xiang also understands that the biggest beneficiary of this matter is King Xiang himself, and it is unlikely that Wang Ji will contribute. King Xiang said, "This king understands. ”

After King Xiang and Wang Ji finalized, he called the chief manager and told him about this matter. said: "Boss, this matter, I can only believe you." ”

The chief manager said: "The prince has to think clearly, today's mind couldn't be clearer, Luchuan is a place beyond the reach of the whip, and the prince is here, but let the prince support the southwest border." His Majesty doesn't have much to do with the prince, that is, now that the prince is not on a stable footing, Wang Ji will help the prince. ”

"Once you miss this opportunity, if the prince wants to borrow troops from the imperial court, don't even think about it."

King Xiang said, "So what? There are thousands of miles in the world, and I only have this one mother. ”

The chief manager said lightly: "Woman's benevolence, since the prince has thought about it, leave this matter to me." "It's just this one thing, and it's not something you can do if you want to.

The chief manager took Si Kaifan from the upper reaches of the Jinsha River that night, swam over, made a detour of hundreds of miles, and came to Mengyang.

The chief manager disguised himself as Si Kaifan's entourage.

Meng Yang's stewards are also the children of the Si family, and it is easy for Si Kaifan to get in. The chief manager inquired a little, and said secretly in his heart

"Sure enough. ”

In general, no one is willing to die. Especially for people in high positions, let others sacrifice for him. It's his habit, but let him sacrifice for others.

But very few people can do it.

The reason why Sijifa is like this is also a last resort, and the people in Meng Yang are unstable.

The Sijia itself is the overlord of the southwest, dominating one side, even the Mu family has to be treated politely, but now the family has abandoned the country, like a water dog, the other branches of the Si family, there is no resentment against Si Ren?

It's just that there is a lot of strength in the hands of Sijifa, but it is just not triggered, but now that it is in a desperate situation, it is not so much to care about.
