Next, Ma Jixiang told him the truth one by one, and Emperor Yongli's suspicion was quickly swallowed up by this surprise, and looking at Ma Jixiang's gaze, the disgust from the bottom of his heart also subsided a little.

Three years ago, Li Dingguo became a famous king twice, and the world shook, which can almost be said to have broken the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. However, such a great victory did not achieve much strategic expansion, and the large area of land that the Ming army had initially recovered was soon spit back. Although Emperor Yongli doesn't know the truth very well, as long as he thinks about it carefully, he can see that Sun Kewang's means are naturally indispensable here.

The madness of this powerful minister had already made him secretly frightened, and this time, without Sun Kewang's constraints, Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo recovered the two provinces in one fell swoop, and the strategic situation of the Ming court suddenly changed for the better. In this, you don't have to think about it to guess that Chen Kai's strategy is indispensable. Not only has the lost land been recovered, but it has also been determined that the famous ministers and good generals will come to the world to help protect the Ming Dynasty, which is not a great news.

The situation in the world has changed greatly, however, as the emperor, he is still under house arrest in such a broken place. Such good news, but he didn't know it from Ma Jixiang, a guy who eats inside and out, until now, and it's really ironic to think about it.

"It must be Sun Kewang who knows very well what this news means, so he specially blocked the source of Anlong Mansion, it must be like this!"

Emperor Yongli thought about it, even if there was no tangible evidence and testimony, he would still be able to guess eight or nine. It's just that this intuition, especially the fear in Sun Kewang's heart, didn't make him feel even a little bit of pride and excitement, some were just fear and anger, nothing more.

Hearing this, Yongli's complexion changed abruptly, and his complexion, which was originally flushed with excitement, faded instantly, and turned pale when he landed. Sun Kewang has been in charge for a long time, but at least he will inform him about major matters, even if it is just to inform him. But now even the canonization of the county king is in charge of his own affairs, and he doesn't even go through the minimum procedures, and it seems that he doesn't plan to go.

"Your Majesty, Sun Kewang has been uncourteous for a long time. But this time, whether it is to canonize the king of the county, or to appoint a governor, and force the company to enter the court, it is really too unreasonable. ”

Ma Jixiang suddenly came out with such a sentence, not only Emperor Yongli, but also Pang Tianshou, who had already conspired with him, was also shocked when he heard it, and almost fell to the ground softly.

Today, the Qin Palace, Guiyang, has long since hollowed out the Yongli Imperial Court and has become the de facto ruling institution of the Ming Court in the southwest. Sun Kewang is powerful, and the narrow emperor is the most clear in the posture of the princes, and he is Cao Cao again.

Emperor Yongli was not a prince cultivated by Zhan Shifu, and he was not even the son of King Gui's Mansion at first, and he only got the throne by chance. Most of the clans of the Ming Dynasty were mixed and waited for death, and Emperor Yongli was weak, but this did not prevent him from watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and listening to the storyteller talk about the ancients. In his memory, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also had a group of loyal ministers around him at that time, and even Cao Cao's Wei Mansion had many hearts towards the Han family. But what is the result of those people, Wu Zhenyu not long ago is a replica.

In these years, even if you say a word that is dissatisfied with Sun Kewang, you may be killed, loyal ministers are arrogant, even if it is meaningless, you must say it. But what kind of goods is this Ma Jixiang, Emperor Yongli knows best. At this time, Ma Jixiang dared to speak like this in front of him, which really made him wonder if he had symptoms of auditory hallucinations, and took what he was thinking in his heart as Ma Jixiang's words.

Once he had such a thought, Emperor Yongli's gaze at Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou was immediately complicated to the point of being incomprehensible.

Yongli's expression changed, all in the eyes of Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou. Speaking of which, the two of them, one was born in Jinyiwei, and the other was a eunuch, mastering the thinking of the Son of Heaven is the craft of eating, and they were able to achieve such a high position in just a few years, which is a clear proof of their ability in this regard!

The two glanced at each other, and they had already made a decision in each other's minds. Without waiting for Yongli to return to normal, Ma Jixiang's deliberately suppressed voice sounded in Yongli's ears again.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Sun Kewang's intention to usurp the throne is clearly revealed, and he should be led to the defense in the outer feudal towns to solve the pain of this upside down......"

Having said this, even if it confirmed the speculation in Emperor Yongli's heart, he was even more stunned on the spot.

In today's situation, the Qing court is still a great enemy of life and death, although it lost two provinces last year, it still occupies most of the world, with a million armor. And within the Ming court, Sun Kewang was a usurper reserve, and although Wen Anzhi, Guo Zhiqi and others sent out from outside the court were loyal and extremely hard-working to control the feudal towns, first, the military generals Weifu were used to it, and secondly, even if they could really attract them to be brave and loyal, they were still not Sun Kewang's opponents. The gap in strength between the two sides is too large, so of course, the best way is to attract the truly powerful feudal towns into the defense, so that the imperial court can protect itself with the help of the ancestral system of the large and small system.

Ma Jixiang spoke eloquently, and made the idea of leading the feudal town into the defense to balance Sun Kewang, and even he had already thought about the candidate for Emperor Yongli. With that, the two fell to the ground with a crying prostration, their heads banging on the floor, as if they were loyal.

However, these two culprits who exposed to Sun Kewang last year that Wu Zhenyu and others led Li Dingguo into the guard, but now they are risking their lives and painstakingly admonishing him to lead the town into the defense to resist Sun Kewang, and the meaning of those words is not someone else, but Li Dingguo. It sounds like the word absurd is full of periods, but as the Son of Heaven, Emperor Yongli has nothing that he can't understand about it.

At the beginning, Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou fell to Sun Kewang, but they saw that Yongli was weak and wanted to climb a high branch. But now, Sun Kewang was first defeated by Zhoujiapu, and it was easy to breathe a sigh of relief, and then Liu Wenxiu ran to Changde Mansion to lose his troops, and his own strength was bound to decline. In contrast, Li Dingguo was forced to leave Guangxi and launch an offensive against Guangdong, in order to be able to join forces with Zheng Chenggong. Now that the two sides have joined forces, the strength is not inferior to Sun Kewang, and the momentum is greatly surpassed.

However, the master who these two people want to cling to in their hearts is not him, at least not all. Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, as the eagle dogs of the Heavenly Family, have been following Sun Kewang to monitor the courtiers of the Yongli Imperial Court in recent years, and even the emperor, such disloyal people are impossible for the Yongli Emperor to reuse. But now, now that they had decided to change their court, and had come to offer him advice, they must have thought everything through, whatever it might be.

"Two Aiqing, please."

After hesitating for a moment, Emperor Yongli took Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou's arms with both hands, and when the two who seemed to be sincerely frightened regained their footing, he then said to the two: "The two Aiqing are diligent in the king's affairs, loyal and commendable, and I am very comforted. As for this matter, it is really important, and I need to think about it again. ”

With that, Yongli turned around and left the room and headed for the harem, leaving only Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou here. However, after the two of them saluted, they did not say anything more. After leaving the palace, he came to Ma Jixiang's house, waved back left and right, and let his son-in-law Yang Zai guard the door, and the two exchanged in the study.

"Your Majesty still can't trust you and me."

"There's nothing abnormal about this, what Master Hou and our family have done in the past two years, it would be strange if Your Majesty could believe it immediately."

Pang Tianshou pulled the throat of the male duck, and his speech was also yin and yang. Ma Jixiang didn't care about this, but Pang Tianshou was still worried about Ma Jixiang's plan.

"Your Majesty is so, is this matter sure to be done?"

There is nothing that must be done in the world, but Ma Jixiang can't say the same, so he has to reply to Pang Tianshou: "In these years, there is a stable source of food and salary, and having soldiers to fight is the last word." The Qin domain is powerful, and it is still the crown of the feudal domains. However, the Qin Domain itself lacked commanders who could command thousands of armies on the battlefield and be good at fighting, such as Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli and others, who could lead a division but could not control the overall situation, even if it was the king of Funan, it was a big difference. ”

The advantages and disadvantages of the Qin Domain are very obvious, and the past two years have been exposed at a glance. There have been many defeats and few victories for a long time, and there is no past record, and the momentum is gradually declining, which is nothing more than that the Qing court is also slowing down its breath at this stage, so it has not kicked it over.

In contrast, although Li Dingguo's territory is not large, he has the endorsement of the Yongli Imperial Court behind him, and the civil officials sent by the imperial court will provide him with food and salary. This was a drop in the bucket before the First World War in Guangzhou, but after that war, several prefectures in Guangxi, plus several prefectures in western Guangdong, the power of the civil official group sent by the imperial court increased, and more importantly, it also gained the Zheng group, an ally that independently supported the overall situation of the southeast to resist the Qing Dynasty.

"Zhangguo Gong is located in the southeast, operating maritime trade, and is rich enough to rival the country. The generals under his command, such as Lin Cha, Gan Hui, Huang Ting, Ke Chenshu and others are also figures who can fight habitually. In terms of strength, when Fujian and Guangdong come to a better place, they may not be much worse than Qin Fan. Speaking of this moment, Ma Jixiang was more solemn: "Not to mention Chen Kai......"

Today's Nanming, the most capable commanders are none other than Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong, who support most of the Nanming. But in the final analysis, these two are military generals, and the reality of being a general, coupled with the conflict of interests between factions, makes them often have to consider whether their own interests can be maximized before cooperating, which is why they have failed to join forces twice in history.

But Chen Kai is different, he is a civil official, and civil officials have their own way of survival, whether it is in political life or anything else, the conflict of interests between Chen Kai and the two will be very small, and it can be used as a glue. What's more, Chen Kai himself is also an amazing and brilliant figure, and his ability can be said to be unique among the civil officials of Nanming today. In front of the combination of these three people, Sun Kewang didn't have much to see.

"Our family understands this truth, but His Majesty is hesitant, where does the edict come from?"

This is the key to their adventure to meet Yongli, and it is not inferior to leaving a back road in front of Yongli. The problem did stump Ma Jixiang, but for him, it was not that difficult.

"Wait for a day or two tomorrow, if you can't find someone to steal a royal thing, the old man will take that thing to Guangdong. At that time, it was said that Sun Kewang's people were too tightly checked in this Anlong Mansion, and the edict was too conspicuous, and it was inconvenient to take it out. ”

Hearing this, Pang Tianshou stroked his palms and smiled. "This method is wonderful, then wait for a day or two, it is best to have an edict with clothes, otherwise it will be unstable after all."

Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou don't care whether Yongli is happy or not, this emperor is not stupid, but his weak temperament has long been figured out by them. Moreover, if Li Dingguo can be brought in, they will be the greatest heroes, even if the emperor hates them, he will not kill the "loyal ministers" who have "endured humiliation and burden" for many years, because this will only make other people feel cold, and feel that this emperor is a cold and thin king who does not change the evil and return to the right for others.

The two of them thought like this, and Yongli returned to the harem with a hundred claws. On the one hand, getting rid of Sun Kewang's control is something he has dreamed of for many years, but on the other hand, once he fails, Sun Kewang is a guy who dares to directly pull out the cabinet and the big eunuchs in the palace to be executed in front of him, the emperor, God knows if he will directly kill the king in a fit of anger.

"The queen mother, the king of Xining and the prince of Zhangguo joined forces, and Guo Gelao, Lian Zhijun, and Chen Fujun were in the middle of the contact, and the two provinces of Guangdong and Fujian had been recovered since last year. However, it's been a year, and I just got the news, and I got it from Ma Jixiang's mouth. King Qin's heart is obvious, and our mother and son may not see the day when the Ming Dynasty is prosperous. ”

"I told you that you are too weak to deserve this supreme position. But you just didn't listen at the time, you have to be this emperor, how can this position be so easy to do? ”

Emperor Hongguang was captured, and the gentry in the southeast once supported King Lu as the lord of the world, but King Lu surrendered without a fight according to Hangzhou, and then had the Qing court's shaving order, so there was a later Tang Lu dispute. In contrast, at that time, Lu Jianguo was just a local government in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was Emperor Longwu who really won the support of Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places. However, Emperor Longwu was martyred within two years, and then Su Guansheng, a scholar of the university, and Lin Cha, Marquis of Fuming, supported the younger brother of Emperor Longwu to ascend the throne as Emperor Shaowu. And other places chose to support Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, who was related by blood and closer to Chongzhen and Hongguang in terms of legal system, as the emperor. At that time, everyone persuaded them, but only the mother of the Yongli Emperor, the Empress Dowager Ma, was strongly opposed, and the Yongli Emperor still chose to be the emperor.

The old things of the past, under the current situation, are once again vivid in the eyes of the most noble mother and son in the world. Here, although they are in the inner courtyard of the palace, the mother and son seem to be in the wildness of the wolves. Hearing this, Emperor Yongli fell down in front of the Empress Dowager Ma, and the mother and son lowered their voices and wept.

Empress Dowager Ma is the concubine of Zhu Changying, the king of Gui, not the wife, but the position of the queen mother obtained by the mother and son because of Yongli's accession to the throne. Mother and son, blood is thicker than water, complaining, but still comforting her son in her way.

After some time, the door was slowly pushed open, and a child of six or seven years old walked up. Seeing this, the mother and son hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Tong Tong is the third son of Emperor Yongli, and he is also his eldest son today, when the eldest son and second son are scattered among the people, that is, the mournful prince Zhu Cixuan in later generations.

The child walked over and saluted the Empress Dowager Ma and Yongli in a proper manner, but after getting up, he looked at the mother and son, but his face was full of doubts.

"Grandmother, why are you and your father crying?"

The child's voice came, Yongli hurriedly wiped the tears on his face that he didn't have time to wipe away, and then said to the child: "Xuan'er, the emperor's grandmother and father have sand in their eyes, it's okay." ”

"Oh."

With such a nonsensical excuse, adults naturally can't be fooled. However, Zhi'er's mind was still simple, and when she heard this, she immediately replied to Yongli: "Then Xuan'er will blow it to the emperor's grandmother and father, when Xuan'er puts sand in her eyes, the queen mother will also blow Xuan'er without tears." ”

As soon as these words came out, the tears of the mother and son once again welled up in their eyes. The supreme position seems to have infinite scenery, but it is actually unbearable in high places. Moreover, in this last era, even if the momentum of the Tartars has shown signs of decline under the offensive of the Ming army, it is all the credit of the feudal towns to have today's weather. Among them, the king of Qin has shown that he is not subservient, so he can only hope for Li Dingguo. But in the long run, if one day Li Dingguo defeats Sun Kewang and becomes another Sun Kewang, how should he deal with himself.

In the case of ZTE, similar things have not happened before. If the clothes are crowned in the south, the king and the horse share the world; The Tang Dynasty quelled the Anshi Rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty eventually perished in the hands of a Jiedu envoy; The southern crossing of the Song Dynasty also relied on the efforts of various feudal towns to have that half of the country. But although he is not stupid, but with this temperament, Song Gao's long legs are very learned, but he is too bad to control these courtiers. There's nothing about ability here.,It's just that the temperament is too weak.,Even if you have a thousand means, you can't use it.,That's all.。

After calming down for a moment, he summoned the queen to take the prince out, and then Emperor Yongli asked his mother in a low voice: "Queen Mother, it is imperative to lead the feudal town into the defense now, but the sons and daughters can't trust Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, the two traitors who eat inside and out, but there is no one available in their hands, so what can I do?" ”

The prison of Mr. Eighteen was too great a blow to the Yongli Dynasty, and the courtiers and eunuchs trusted by the Yongli Emperor were killed in batches, which can be said to be a devastating blow to him. Since then, and even today, Yongli's ears and eyes have been completely closed by Sun Kewang's cronies here, as well as Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, so that there was such a great change in Fujian and Guangdong provinces last year, and he has never known anything about it as an emperor.

The remaining courtiers are not many in number, and they are not cronies. Besides, with the prison of Mr. Eighteen, who would dare to jump out and be an enemy of Sun Kewang, it is nothing more than messing around here. In contrast, Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou have the ability, but such a disloyal person, Yongli does not dare to use it. Not to mention anything else, God knows if this time is some kind of trick set up by Sun Kewang, waiting for him to drill it.

is really seeing that Sun Kewang is weak, and he has the heart to change the court; This time, he still planned to use a lie, or even a fact, to fish for law enforcement, leading him to jump out and give Sun Kewang an excuse to kill the king. In this regard, the Yongli Emperor could neither distinguish nor do anything about it. And his mother, Empress Dowager Ma, is not as wise and calm as Empress Meng of Yuanyou. The mother and son looked at each other without saying a word, only a thousand tears.

The mother and son had nothing to do, but Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou knew about the changes in the situation in the world, and they got the news about Li Dingguo's re-entry into Guangxi. It was precisely because of such news that they suspected that Li Dingguo was interested in rescuing Emperor Yongli, so they had to stand up and express their position.

Time is something they can't and don't dare to delay. However, three days later, Emperor Yongli still had nothing to say, and Ma Jixiang had to ask Pang Tianshou to send someone to steal a piece of imperial goods in the palace as a token, so as to win Li Dingguo's trust. It's just that they didn't know that at this moment, Li Dingguo had already left the front line in Guilin, and personally led the elite of his headquarters to kill in the direction of Anlong Mansion.
