Zheng Weiyi really didn't understand what was the use of his idea of slandering Mo Dengyong's wolf ambition and wanting to fight the Ming Dynasty.

People with a little normal brains understand that Annan is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty at all, even if the entire strength of Annan may not be able to beat the border armies of the southwestern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that there are still many forces in Annan at this time that are fighting against the Mo family, how could Mo Dengyong come to fight the idea of the Ming Dynasty.

How did he know that although Jiajing's mind was normal, his vision was limited to the Forbidden City, and many things, Jiajing could only make a decision by playing a fold or asking a close minister, whether Mo Dengyong dared to fight Daming, Jiajing was not sure at all.

Of course, Yan Shifan would not explain these things to Zheng Weiyong, Zheng Weifang was just a chess piece, he said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, you just expose Mo Dengyong's wolf ambitions." ”

Can this be left alone?

Zheng Weiyi was a little scared and said, "Can this really work?" Deceiving His Majesty the Emperor is a crime of deceiving the monarch, and the crime of deceiving the monarch in Annan will be to exterminate the family, not to mention deceiving His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

What are you pretending to be, you Annan Zheng clan have killed a few emperors of the Later Li Dynasty, why didn't you see your family raided and exterminated?

Yan Shifan said a little impatiently: "What are you afraid of, who can say clearly whether he Mo Dengyong has wolf ambitions, even if he denies it himself, others will believe it, do you still want Daming to send troops to help you quell the rebellion?" ”

Do you still need to ask, of course I want to!

Zheng Weiyi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, of course I do." ”

Yan Shifan said undoubtedly: "If you want to, just do what I say, otherwise, don't think about it." ”

When it comes to this, what else can I do, Zheng Weiyi can only do what Yan Shifan said.

In other words, Jiajing will really believe Zheng Weiyi's words and doubt Mo Dengyong's idea of fighting Daming?

Of course this is impossible, Jiajing is not an idiot, although he has never been to Annan, but he also knows that Annan is a small country to Daming, and his strength cannot be compared with Daming.

However, as soon as Xia Yan and Yan Song got involved in this matter, the result was different.

The next day, Jiajing saw Zheng Wei's recital, in which Zheng Wei's bureaucracy exaggerated Mo Dengyong's ambition according to Yan Shifan's confession, saying that Mo Dengyong tried to overthrow the Houli Dynasty and rule Annam when he was the commander of the guard, and then Mo Dengyong really became the king of Annam, and the target was aimed at the Ming Dynasty, according to reliable information, Mo Dengyong was plotting to attack the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty!

To tell the truth, Jiajing's first feeling when he saw Zheng Wei's twists and turns was ridiculous, isn't it ridiculous that a small vassal dares to fight the idea of the Ming Dynasty!

However, when he looked at Xia Yan's ticket attached to him, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Because Xia Yan wrote on the ticket: Crazy people must have crazy moves, Annan Mo dare to usurp the throne and peep at the Daming rivers and mountains, or it is possible that the wolf has ambitions and has to be guarded against.

This is reasonable, this Annan Mo clan looks like that kind of bold man, everyone dares to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, don't they dare to attack the Ming Dynasty?

The wolf's ambition has to be guarded against.

How to prevent the problem?

Daming has no money at this time, the northwest frontier defense alone has to rely on salt to attract income to maintain, and the southeast coastal defense is purely supported by Yang Cong, the southwest frontier defense, where to raise money?

This strengthening the border defense is not a matter of one sentence, at least we must recruit some guards to guard important checkpoints, recruit people to fight, you have to give people food and salary, otherwise, what do people eat, why do you fight hard?

If the Ming Dynasty is rich, if you don't send troops to destroy the Annan Mo clan early, the problem is that the Ming court has no money, what should I do?

Just when Jiajing was frowning, the eunuch on duty outside suddenly screamed: "Your Majesty, Lord Xia Yanxia, the first assistant of the cabinet, asks to see you." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the fold in his hand.

Okay, it's just in time, you said that the wolf's ambition has to be guarded against, so tell me, how to prevent it if you don't have money?

He was thinking of asking Xia Yan for a plan, but he didn't expect that after Xia Yan came in, he hurriedly made a salute to the monarch and ministers, and then raised his share and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the micro-minister deserves to die, he didn't pay attention to the border police, and the southwest border is in danger!" ”

Yes!

When Jiajing heard this, he was taken aback, what happened to the southwest border?

Warning?

What are the warning signs?

He hurriedly took the fold and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a strange look.

This is barely a warning signal, but as far as it is said, it is not serious enough to be in danger at the border.

He couldn't help but ask: "Gong Jin, what's wrong, why do you say that the northwest border is dangerous, isn't it okay?" ”

This piece was made by Wang Wensheng, the governor of Yunnan, and Wang Wensheng didn't say anything about Annan's Mo's schemes, he just caught Annan's secret agent, and after interrogation, he learned that this spy was sent by Annan Mo's family.

This was all more than a year ago, at that time, Xia Yan just suggested on the ticket and ordered Wang Wensheng to continue to investigate, Jiajing also thought that it was enough to track it down, there was nothing to worry about, after all, it was normal to send a spy to find out the news, and Da Ming often sent secret agents to the surrounding countries to inquire about the news, what was the fuss.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan would talk about the matter so seriously at this time, what is going on?

In fact, there was nothing to do at all, Mo Dengyong sent secret agents to Yunnan, Guangxi and other places to spy on the news, but he did not want to attack the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty, but wanted to find out the movements of the Ming army.

After all, in the past few years, the Zheng clan of Annan has sent envoys to Daming almost every year to ask for help, and after he goes back, he will brag about it, saying that Daming is about to send troops to help Annan quell the rebellion, of course he can't ignore it.

He sent secret agents to Yunnan, Guangxi and other places to spy on the news, that is, to see if Daming had assembled an army on the border and was ready to go to Annan to pick him up, and he had no other meaning.

However, Xia Yan wouldn't say that at this time, as soon as Jiajing asked, he pretended to be frightened and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Weichen is indeed negligent, if there is only Annan Mo's secret agent sent by the Mo clan, it is nothing, but, this time Zheng said this, Weichen found that something was wrong, all kinds of signs show that this Mo Dengyong really wants to attack the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Ah, what signs? How so? ”

Xia Yan explained in a panic: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that in the past few years, Mu Chaofu, the Duke of Qianguo, and Wu Wenyuan, the general of Annan, have all played, and the Mo clan of Annan is recruiting troops and horses. At that time, Weichen still thought that the Mo clan was to suppress the opposition forces in Annan, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn't have to recruit more than 100,000 troops, because there is no such strong opposition force in Annan, and he doesn't need money to recruit more than 100,000 troops? Why is he so reckless? If you analyze it in combination with Zheng Weiyi and Wang Wensheng's twists and turns, the results can be seen without asking, the reason why Mo Dengyong is recruiting troops and buying horses is to prepare to attack the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty! ”

This!

When Jiajing heard this, his face couldn't help showing a solemn look, he vaguely remembered that in the past few years, Mu Chaofu, the Duke of Qianguo, and Wu Wenyuan, the general of Annan, had indeed mentioned Annan Mo's family, but at that time, no one thought that Mo Dengyong would dare to fight the idea of Daming.

Now it seems that this guy has really eaten leopard gall and is ready to brush the tiger whiskers.

It's worth it!
