Chapter 714 - Knowing the Beijing Situation
The letter sent by Ah Jiu completely retold everything that happened in Beijing.
In some cases, the cuckoo has been mentally prepared for a long time.
For example, Lao Jiu is very likely to attack King Ming at the enthronement ceremony.
How could a monarch who had ascended the throne of God really be willing to be a puppet?
But as long as there is a little hope of turning over, I am afraid that we have to fight hard, not to mention that this enthronement ceremony is a godsend for Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu cannot give up.
In the face of such a good opportunity, no matter how uncertain Lao Jiu is, he is afraid that he still has to fight hard.
Simply betting on Lao Jiu's courage is, in Du Juan's opinion, really unreliable.
At the beginning, Lao Jiu also ordered an arrow to shoot King Ming in the palace, and he was definitely not a person who really dared to make a game.
Now I'm afraid it's just forced by the situation to hibern, and it's not really honest.
Du Juan can almost expect that at the enthronement ceremony, it is inevitable that Lao Jiu will turn his face and attack King Ming.
Therefore, when he learned that King Ming was going to let Lao Jiu hold an enthronement ceremony, in Du Juan's heart, he actually didn't agree very much.
As the saying goes, your own family knows your own affairs.
On the surface, the Ming Palace's Mansion seems to be strong.
In the palace, there is the queen mother as a backer, and she also "controls" the forbidden army, "subdues" Hu Qingyan and King De in the court, and has more Taoist doors as a backing outside, and also has great prestige among the people.
But in fact, in Du Juan's view, if these hole cards are only used as a deterrent, they are indeed enough to make no one dare to act rashly.
But if it is really put on the table to fight with Lao Jiu head-on, it is still not enough, no, it should be said that it is not enough.
At the enthronement ceremony, once Lao Jiu turns his face, it will inevitably be a life-and-death situation.
In the case of life and death, you do everything, the majesty of the Queen Mother cannot limit Lao Jiu.
Hu Qingyan and King De can play with Lao Jiu in private, but when it comes to the table, under the noses of hundreds of officials in the world, they have neither the courage nor the ability to openly rebel.
Let's talk about the door again, yes, the Daomen is indeed attached to the King of Ming, but to say that the two real people and the four Venerables really died of obeying the King of Ming?
I'm afraid that when the time comes to see the crisis of life and death, it is more likely that those few will retreat.
Therefore, in the end, if King Ming wants to fight with Lao Jiuyi, the only thing he can rely on and the only thing that can suppress the situation is hard power.
Praetorian Army!
That's right, when it comes to killing each other head-on, only the sword soldiers can determine the situation.
However, did the Ming Wangfu really control the forbidden army?
No, the Ming Wangfu controlled the palace ban before, relying only on bluffing, and did not really have this ability.
Obviously, in this case, once Lao Jiu turns his face, King Ming is alone in the palace, and it is almost a situation of death and no life.
Therefore, at the beginning, Du Juan did not approve of letting Lao Jiu ascend the throne.
Of course, she is not against letting Lao Jiu ascend the throne, but she just feels that in terms of time, she should not be in such a hurry.
For the Ming Palace, in the case of having temporarily controlled the palace ban, the best thing to do should be to gain time and continue to consolidate the situation.
When you control the palace ban in the real sense and are not afraid of Lao Jiu's counterattack, it is the best policy to let Lao Jiu ascend the throne.
However, she did not raise any objections in the end, just because she knew that King Ming did not know what the best policy was, and the reason why it was so was that it was forced to do so.
After all, as long as Lao Jiu does not ascend the throne for a day, the overall situation of the country and the dynasty will not be determined, and the joint resistance to barbarism can only stay on paper forever.
After coming to northern Jiangsu, Du Juan saw the danger and danger of the war with her own eyes, and saw that Fang Shuai was building a strong scene in Jingyuan City in order to gain time, in order to block the footsteps of the banner barbarians, she understood the urgency of King Ming's heart better.
It's just that this battle is too risky for the Ming Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is playing with life.
And for this, Du Juan can't do much, she can only find ways to help the Ming Wangfu a little more, which is why she has been constantly touching porcelain here in Fang Shuai these days.
is just looking forward to pulling Fang Shuai into the camp of the Ming Palace, whether it is true or not, it is good to let Lao Jiu and the court have more scruples......
It wasn't until this moment, after reading Ah Jiu's handwritten letter, that she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the passage of the past few days in the palace told in the letter also shocked her heart.
Lao Jiu would make trouble, which she expected, but King Ming's response surprised her.
She still remembers that when she left Beijing, she saw King Ming and talked about the pros and cons of Qu Guochang's life and death.
But he never thought that King Ming would take advantage of Qu Guochang's death and use Chu Ruocai to lay out such a big situation, and at the same time put Lao Jiu and Lin Huayao into it.
A thrilling battle of life and death, and finally the Ming Wangfu was decided.
I have to say that when the palace mentioned in the letter was thrilling for several days, especially in the end, Lao Jiu still did not give up, and in the imperial study, the tension of the life and death crisis again, even if it was only on paper, made Du Juan drenched in cold sweat.
At the same time, King Ming's response this time really amazed the cuckoo, which made her feel a lot of emotion.
Such a bureau, in the letter at this time, did not seem to be very colorful, but Du Juan clearly understood that it was not easy to make this bureau.
Whether it is Chu Ruocai, or Lin Huayao, or Lao Jiu, these people are by no means easy people, which one is not deep-minded, how easy is it to move his mind to them?
In any link, if something goes wrong, King Ming will be in danger.
This kind of means of taking chestnuts in the fire, Du Juan can only smile bitterly, she thinks she can't do it, no, it should be said that she doesn't dare to do it at all!
In fact, Du Juan is arrogant, she doesn't dare to do this, it's not that she doesn't have the courage and resourcefulness, in terms of means and strategy, Mo Bai is definitely inferior to him.
The reason why she can't do this game is actually just limited by the status pattern.
From the very beginning, Mo Bai has never put himself under others, whether it is Emperor Lao Jiu, or Lin Huayao who is on the other side, or Chu Ruocai, who is known for his wisdom, the prestige of these people cannot put any pressure on Mo Bai.
And Du Juan is different, in an era when this person was born, she was destined to be 369, no matter how free and easy she was, she would inevitably be cautious and cautious in the face of such opponents.
And Mo Bai can be regarded as an equal and make a decisive bet, this game, not because of Du Juan's lack of resourcefulness, but because of the psychological gap, but it is foreseeable that as Du Juan further steps into the pattern of dominating the world, her growth will be rapid.
…………
……
A letter, a thousand words, but the cuckoo did not leave the room until nightfall.
The place where she lives is not in the barracks, and the reason is naturally that the host's family is not welcome......
There was no way, the cuckoo had no choice but to live in the city.
Even in the era of war and chaos, there are inns in the city, but for Du Juan, it is not convenient to live in an inn in terms of security and privacy.
Fortunately, in the era of war and chaos, it is not difficult to buy a better house.
The big mansion where the cuckoo lives today may not be able to be purchased for three hundred gold in peacetime.
And now, for only fifty gold coins, the deal was struck, even the original furnishings.
The original owner had already moved away before the battle, and I heard that the family moved to the capital.
It can be seen that no matter what era, war or peace, it is the poor people who suffer after all.
Of course, Du Juan chose this house, not only because of the cheap price, but mainly because he heard that one of the generals under the commander of the army was a local, and the house that Du Juan chose was on the same street as the general.
It's just a pity that since the cuckoo moved in, the general may have been nervous because of the war, or maybe it was a discord between the husband and wife, in short, since the cuckoo moved in, the general has never returned home......
Under the candle, Du Juan is writing a reply, and the Ming Wangfu has passed this level, but it does not mean that you can sit back and relax.
On the contrary, the Ming Wangfu has taken this step, and the responsibility it bears is even heavier than before.
"From now on, any crisis, the Ming Wangfu can no longer avoid it, and will bear the brunt of it......"
"The banner is brave and ferocious, and it has become a disaster for the country, and His Royal Highness's heart to resist the barbarians is firm, which is the luck of the country. However, although the Ming Wangfu has controlled the overall situation, it may not be able to do as I want. The war must begin, but it must not be reckless! ”
"The ambitions of the warlords are inflated, the grand ceremony in the palace, the disputes for several days, the many witnesses, the rumors are inevitable, and the warlords of the defense see that the monarch is weak, and they have different intentions. Strictly prevent warlords from spreading rumors about the affairs in the palace to the world, and weaken the emperor and the country. ”
"Especially the warlord of the Lin family, this time he suffered a heavy loss, lest he act in the name of the Qing monarch to harm the country, His Royal Highness must not be negligent, and should be suppressed first, so that he does not dare to act rashly."
"Warlords should be on guard, the courtiers, local officials, and even the military generals should not be neglected, the monarch's authority is weak, it will move the hearts of the people, the ministers are strong and the lords are weak, the most chaotic dynasty, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, the war will start, and the court must not be chaotic ......"
The cuckoo was writing a book by herself, but suddenly there was a noise outside the door, as if someone was arguing, interrupting her thoughts.
The cuckoo frowned slightly, then put away the half-written letter, and then opened his voice: "What's going on outside?" ”
Suddenly, a master from the Huangting Mansion came in to report that Lu Changxian was here.
"We said, you told no one to disturb, but Lu Changxian had to see you right away and ask him what was going on, but he couldn't say why, if it wasn't for your master to stop him, he was afraid that he would have to make a lot of noise at the door, which would be rude......" The master of Huangting Mansion obviously didn't have a good impression of Lu Changxian, and called Lu Changxian by his name, and his tone was also very dissatisfied.
Du Juan naturally heard his dissatisfied tone, but it was clear in his mind that he had been a little close to Lu Changxian these days, and he was afraid that the elders of the Huang Ting Mansion would feel uncomfortable.
After all, now the Huang Tingfu relies on the cuckoo, so naturally he doesn't want to see the cuckoo and other Daomen forces get too close, and it's okay when he is in the Daomen, after all, each has its own forces, and it is difficult for the cuckoo to win over.
This Lu Changxian and his group are different, their court has been destroyed, they belong to a lonely family, and it is indeed possible to get involved with the cuckoo.
