Chapter 268: If You Want to Be a King, Kill First (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

Re-establish the King of Cypriots!

I have to say that even if he has a more ambitious goal in his heart, when he heard this sentence, Zhu Guoqiang still felt like a thousand thunderbolts, which made his heart beat bloody.

Re-establish the King of Cypriots!

Isn't it just to make yourself the emperor of the soil!

This is much stronger than a pig-like vassal king. In the current political environment of the Ming Dynasty, this is simply unimaginable.

Hey, this Fan Ge Lao is really bold! Now let's not talk about anything else, Zhu Guoqiang believes that as long as these words are spread, the parents of those imperial historians in the court can drown him.

King of Cypriots!

What did he think was the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty?

It's to ban the domain!

Uh, King Sai! It is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty!

But that is Emperor Gao's rule, he Zhu Laosi doesn't ask. The current emperor is the descendant of his Zhu Laosi, and the rules were naturally passed down at that time.

To speak is to raise the princes as pigs.

King of Cypriots!

Are you kidding!

"The prince will definitely suspect that His Majesty will definitely not be willing at that time, in fact, when the time comes, for Da Ming, this is probably the best choice!"

Although Fan Fucui was not as straightforward as he said, everyone knew what he meant, when the time came, the prince of De Shizi would destroy the power of the Eastern Captives, support the army and respect himself in Liaodong, and the court would not be crowned king.

In fact, on the other hand, Fan Fucui is also buying time for Daming, and even this is his real starting point. Of course, he didn't lie, and for Da Ming, this is indeed the best choice, both in that regard.

Said from the side of the imperial court. The imperial court could withdraw from Liaodong and wait until the Liukou was pacified to solve the problem of Liaodong. Of course, including the master in front of him.

As for whether he can be dealt with at that time, only God knows, in fact, there is no need to worry too much.

After all, the person in front of him will definitely have a big fight with Dongyu after arriving in Lushun, and then let them lose both, and Daming just benefits from it.

Of course, there was another thought in his mind. Even in the end, the one in front of him won. It's not necessarily a bad thing for Daming.

It's better than being robbed by the rogue and taken away by the East Captives.

At that time, the world will always be surnamed Zhu! It's still Da Ming! He didn't dare to say it, not even think about it.

"I don't know what the prince thinks?"

Faced with Fan Fucui's question, Zhu Guoqiang did not answer him, but asked rhetorically.

"Let's not ask anything else, I have a question in my heart, and I would like to ask the elder to solve my doubts, is this matter from the elder or from Your Majesty?"

"This ......"

Fan Fucui thought about it and replied directly.

"Your Majesty doesn't know yet!"

"In that case, is it possible that Your Majesty will agree?"

That's the big problem. What is the use of the emperor disagreeing with what you say, no matter how good it is?

"The old man just said that this is the best choice for the Ming Dynasty, and after His Majesty knows about it, he will definitely agree, and ......"

Staring at Zhu Guoqiang, Fan Fucui said again.

"If you want to promote this, I'm afraid you still need to do one thing!"

"Do one thing?"

Frowning, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.

"What's the matter?"

"Murder?"

"Murder? Who? ”

"Officials locked up in the Nanjing prison!"

When the cold words came out of Fan Fucui's mouth, Zhu Guoqiang only felt that his scalp was slightly numb, and even his back felt a little cold. Civil officials don't use knives to kill people, they only need to talk and use their pens to kill, and they don't kill because they have a grudge against each other, but because they are useful.

Why did he let himself kill those officials!

Just after thinking about it for a while, Zhu Guoqiang figured out the key to it, which was to let the emperor know that the son of De Shizi was so tyrannical and unpopular with the people, even if he borrowed his knife and asked him to pacify Liaodong!

Let him go and kill each other with the Eastern Tartars. At that time, the daimyo will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and after they have lost both, wait until the imperial court suppresses the rogue. Solve them all together.

What a great idea!

Looking at the old man in front of him with a smile, Zhu Guoqiang thought in his heart that your abacus is really shrewd!

"I don't know what the prince thinks?"

Fan Fucui asked again. In fact, from the time when Shi Ziye heard that he was asked to kill, his expression did not have the slightest wave, Fan Fucui knew that he must have understood the reason for the killing, and some things did not need to be explained, nor did they need to be clarified, as long as both parties understood.

In the face of Fan Fucui's question again, Zhu Guoqiang adopted an evasive attitude and did not answer:

"It's getting late today, Elder Ge doesn't have to go back to Qinghe, how about staying here for the night?"

Huan Hai has been up and down for so many years, what kind of things have not been seen, if De Shizi has no interest in this, he will definitely not keep himself here, he will leave himself here, he must be interested in this, so he said.

"It's just right, it's a tiring journey, and my body is not as good as it is, so I really need to rest for the night."

In fact, this night, no one could sleep well, and after picking up the wind and washing the dust for Fan Fucui, Zhu Guoqiang summoned Chen Changgeng, Yan Ermei, and Liu Hanyi to the tent, and then told them Fan Fucui's intention.

"Lord Shizi, Fan Ge Lao, this chess hand is wonderful!"

Chen Changgeng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not so much that he thinks about the prince, but that he is for the emperor, and now for Yu Daming, the external and internal troubles are like this, either the internal troubles are flat, or the external worries are flat, how can you have both the fish and the bear's paw? When the prince arrived in Lushun, it was just right for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the external troubles, so that Jiannu could not afford to look south, and the imperial court could naturally free up its hands to suppress bandits, as for the future...... Whether it is for the prince to be the king or not in the future, it has bought the court time to exterminate the Liukou......"

What we are fighting for is not only the time to exterminate the Liukou, but also the time to march into Liaodong! That is, the time to hit yourself.

Fan Fucui seems to be for himself, but in fact, it's all for Chongzhen. In the face of politics, morality is fragile and it is better not to mention it. It's like he proposed to kill those civil officials.

Why?

Morality?

Those who are officials are nothing more than flaunting morality!

For the sake of the so-called "great righteousness", those people are all sacrificeable.

However, no one mentioned the civil officials in the prison cell at all, after all, everyone already knew the plan of the prince - even if there was no request from Fan Fucui, the prince would still kill someone!

I didn't kill it before, it's just that the opportunity is not ripe!

Right now...... Just use their heads!

Perhaps, Fan Dage always has his careful thoughts. However, I have to admit that this is indeed an opportunity.

It can even be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At least in terms of the current environment, going to Lushun is a good choice for me.

"Actually, for the country, this is also a good thing!"

Yan Ermei, who entered the curtain at the latest, still vaguely heard Chen Changgeng's words, but he didn't think about it so much, in his opinion, even if there is a disagreement between the prince and His Majesty, it is just a difference of opinion between the monarch and the minister, as for the rebellion, from the beginning he didn't believe that the prince was that kind of person, loyal and righteous like the prince of the world, how could he rebel?

Your Majesty must have been bewitched by traitors.

But Shi Butang doesn't look like a traitor!

It must be someone else!

There are too many traitors in the court!

"Isn't it a good thing that you can exchange Shandong for peace in the world?"

"It's a tax in Shandong! It's not Shandong! ”

Liu Hanyi, a native of Shandong, said directly.

"Shiziye, the world's money and grain can't support Liaodong, just relying on the money and grain in Shandong, how can it be possible to support Shiziye to pacify Liaodong, besides, in recent years, disasters in Shandong have become more and more frequent, money and grain are still insufficient for self-use, and I am afraid that it is not enough to support the army!"

He said this not only because he is from Shandong, but because these natural disasters in Shandong are becoming more and more frequent, year by year, under such a premise, how can it be possible to support the army just by relying on one place in Shandong?

"Well, that's true!"

Zhu Guoqiang nodded, not to mention that he was powerless, this year - the thirteenth year of Chongzhen was the most serious year of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire five northern provinces were completely in the conspiracy of natural disasters, which was also the fundamental reason for Li Zicheng's rise - a large number of victims provided him with sufficient soldiers, and after the continuous stream of victims became rogues, they finally dragged down the Ming Dynasty.

Great Ming Tribulation!

What a catastrophe!

If it weren't for the natural disaster that swept the five northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, why would the Ming Dynasty be like this!

Great hunger, from Huai to the north to the south of Jinan, the bark of the tree was exhausted.

Behind a few simple words, how many people starved to death?

Thinking of this, Zhu Guoqiang's mood couldn't help but become a little heavy, he went to Liaodong by himself, even if he recovered Liaodong, could he resettle so many refugees just by relying on one place in Liaodong?

Besides, Liaodong is even colder! And there is also drought!

After thinking about it, he said.

"Silver is not a problem, we have copied a lot in Shenyang and Nanjing, and there are other ways to catch silver in the future."

After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.

"The only question now is, do you think Elder Fan Ge can convince His Majesty?"

No one knows the answer, but even if Fan Fucui is so confident, what's the harm in trying? No matter from any point of view, this is a good thing for Zhu Guoqiang, after all, time is on his side, not on Chongzhen's side.

The next day, after telling Fan Fucui about his decision, Fan Fucui was immediately overjoyed when he heard this.

"The old man knows that the prince is a loyal minister of my Great Ming Domain, and he will never rebel, don't worry, I will definitely contribute to this matter at any cost!"

Then he said in a low voice.

"However, the matter of Nanjing, please start as soon as possible, this matter will not work, I am afraid that Your Majesty will still have a grudge!"

In this regard, Zhu Guoqiang naturally agreed.

"Just these two days! However, in addition to killing them, I have to kill some more! ”
