Chapter 8: The Conspiracy of Politicians

Of course, there are exceptions, such as when Wang Zhen was in charge of the government, Zhu Qijiao used a lot of money to buy Wang Zhen and set up a pro-soldier guard, and after Zhu Qiyu came to power in the later period, Lu Yunzhi's instigation was against the banner, and the world was against no one to take care of it, so there was a large number of Qinwang army.

This is one aspect that moved Zhu Jianwen, and on the other hand, there are very few troops in the capital, since the rebellion of Qin Rufeng Guangliang, the number of troops in the capital is even less, all stationed outside the city to defend the Beijing Division, in the capital, in addition to the standing army guarding the city, the Imperial Forest Army, the Great Inner Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the only two brigades led by people other than the imperial court are the hidden troops of the Thirteenth Secret Department and Zhu Jianwen's Qinwang Army, and only Zhu Jianwen is on the bright side, this kind of treatment and respect, how can Zhu Jianwen not be moved,

In addition to Zhu Jianwen's reputation, this army is also one of the aspects that Cao Jixiang values, Cao Jixiang knows that since there is going to be a mutiny, there will be someone, and he has arranged a team of people on his side, but it is not very safe, and he must find another team of people to feel at ease, thinking about it, I only feel that I have a similar personality with Zhu Jianwen, and the relationship is also good when I was a child, so I will ask Zhu Jianwen's opinion first, and let Zhu Jianwen analyze it, to this day, Cao Jixiang still does not want to completely rebel, but is in the constant painful entanglement,

Cao Jixiang knew that he was too weak compared to Lu Yunzhi, he didn't think about success, if he could succeed, it would be God's blessing, he just wanted to fight a fish to die and break the net, I heard that Lu Yunzhi was out of Beijing, he wanted to wait for Lu Yunzhi to come back, if he occupied the city, he would give it away, with Lu Yunzhi's character, he would definitely be extraordinarily gracious, and let go of Cao Jixiang, who knew the current affairs, a way to live, although it would not be as beautiful as it is now in the future, but looking at the treatment of Zhu Jianwen, he was not bad, in short, such a result is better than being killed by Yanbei alive,

Of course, Cao Jixiang didn't know what his righteous son Cao Qin thought, but it didn't matter, Cao Jixiang believed that his righteous son Cao Qin would obey his arrangement, maybe at the last moment, he would have to listen if he didn't listen.

Cao Qin contacted the Tatar army in the city, and after the establishment of Duoyan Sanwei, three new items were quickly produced, one is the famous three thousand battalions, one of the three battalions of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the Mongolian private army, which is nothing more than a large family looking for four or five good fighting Mongols, as thugs or warriors who guard the house, although they are not as fancy as the Central Plains warriors' kung fu, but the saber bow and arrow plus wrestling hand-to-hand combat, the same easy to use, brave and ruthless, bloodthirsty and good at fighting is especially worse than the Central Plains martial arts,

The third is the Tartar officials, the officials who manage the three thousand battalions and manage the Mongolian trade and security issues, of course, must not be the officials in charge, the real power is in the hands of the Han people, and the Han people will never raise tigers for trouble, although so, these Tartar officials still have a high status among the Mongols in the Ming Dynasty, and they are absolutely good at speaking.

Cao Qin wooed them for the Mongol soldiers in their hands, as long as he said that he moved them, it was equivalent to saying that the Mongol soldiers were moved, but it was too early to reveal the rebellion, so Cao Qin only drank and did not talk about state affairs, and gradually became one with the straightforward Tatar officials.

With this layer of protection, Cao Jixiang came to the Tongwang Mansion with confidence, Zhu Jianwen was not sent back to the Jiujiang fiefdom, but stayed under the root of the imperial city, one to show the favor of the saint, and the other is also to monitor, Cao Jixiang is not worried about the people in the East Factory, he is the palm print eunuch, the East Factory is full of his own people, he is worried about the secret sentry of the Secret Thirteen,

He knows that there is no way to avoid it, but he does not hide it, the more upright he is, the less he will be suspected, this is the dark under the light, Cao Jixiang went to visit the king Zhu Jianwen, Zhu Jianwen went out to greet him enthusiastically, after all, he is an old friend,

Entering the main hall, Cao Jixiang didn't talk about the topic, Zhu Jianwen pondered for a moment and said: "Gao Huai, I have heard everything outside the house, there should be no rhyme for people, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

"I have seen and heard, you are willing to be an idle king for a lifetime." Cao Jixiang asked softly, he had also investigated, it should indeed be no one, but even so, he still didn't dare to be careless, only dared to speak softly,

"Isn't this very good, you see that I am hereditary, I have food and drink, I have my own palace guards, and the name of the king of the people, how many people want but can't get it, what else do I have to be unwilling to, Gao Huai, what do you mean by this, I said it, there are just you and me in the hall, you might as well tell the truth." Zhu Jianwen sneered and said,

Cao Jixiang hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said: "Lu Yunzhi asked Yanbei to cut off my wings, just to do me, I want to rebel, I especially ask Brother Jianwen to help me." ”

Zhu Jianwen suddenly laughed, and then pointed at Cao Jixiang and said word by word: "Since, no, quantity, force." Cao Jixiang was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and he was almost annoyed and angry, and it took a while before he stood up and said: "Tell me, what's wrong with me, you can't tell you four, five or six, I have to be anxious with you." ”

"If you want to rebel, you are not allowed to say it, you should be louder, and try to let the whole courtyard hear." Zhu Jianwen said, Cao Jixiang was deflated all of a sudden, and sat down with a smile.

Zhu Jianwen still said lightly: "There are a few people who fight with Lu Yun, there are a few who have a good end, Meng He, Yu Qian, I won't say anything, even I am not now guarded by him everywhere, although I am still the king, how can I be as beautiful as before, hey, you want to rebel, why should you Lord Cao be alone." ”

"I don't really want to rebel, I'm just afraid that Lu Yunzhi will do me, to be honest, I also want to surrender at the last moment, and I can at least have a good end if I learn from you." Cao Jixiang looked at Zhu Jianwen with a puzzled face, and hurriedly explained: "Although the relationship between me and Lu Yunzhi is not as good as the two of you, how can I also have the same feelings, if I don't do anything now, and then wait for Lu Yunzhi to deal with me, maybe I won't be killed, but the end is not good, it is likely to be imprisoned until the end of life, don't think about it, at most make a more than the upper than the bottom." ”

"But the rebellion is different, after I rebelled, I saw Lu Yunzhi and then took the initiative to surrender, let him know that I was powerful, but I still surrendered, showing my feelings for him and understanding of current affairs, Lu Yunzhi has always valued feelings, and he will definitely take care of me if I do this, at least the result is much better than before." Cao Jixiang said with words,

Zhu Jianwen scoffed: "Bullshit logic, then tell me how you want to act." ”

Cao Jixiang's eyes lit up, and then he came to his senses, and said in a low voice: "I want to do this and that."
