Chapter 592: Gathlan
Since then, there has been no movement in the DPRK and China for more than ten consecutive days, and those ministers who are preparing to launch a coup d'Γ©tat still do not act rashly.
During this period, the Ministry of Intelligence had secretly investigated the ministers of the DPRK and China who were involved, and submitted a list to Liu Juntao, on which there were more than 40 people, most of whom were from the 13 Yamen of the Imperial History, some were officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households, and a small part were from the Ministry of War.
Most of these people are squires and imperial historians of various ministries, and there are basically no big officials.
Liu Juntao looked at this list, and he also understood in his heart that because the time was too short, the ministers in this list must have some wrongs, but he didn't have time to screen them one by one, so he could only kill them all with one shot!
Thinking of this, Liu Juntao also closed his eyes and buried the unbearable in his heart.
Liu Zi'an stood aside and said: "Bingxian, in this list, there are all small shrimps, and my subordinates think that there must be big fish in the DPRK, and things like imprisoning Your Majesty and deposing the prince are definitely not something that these small shrimps can do!" β
Liu Juntao waved his hand and said, "That's it!" β
"But the military ......"
Liu Juntao said: "If there is really a big fish that has not shown up, at this time the DPRK and China must have turned over the river and the sea, it is impossible to be so calm, and those ministers will not procrastinate and be timid, this is obviously the result of those ministers not having unified command, and they are all the result of fighting separately." β
Liu Zi'an also paused when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "But Bingxian, why don't we take this opportunity to thoroughly sort out the civil officials in the court?" This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Subordinates can make another list, and ...... then"
"Shut up!"
Liu Juntao suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Liu Zi'an, which immediately made Liu Zi'an break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly confessed.
"Such a thing must be cautious, and the scope of turmoil ~ chaos must be controlled within a certain range, and it must not be expanded! Now that the situation on Hamiwei's side is becoming more and more critical, the imperial court must not make too much chaos at this time, and must stabilize it as soon as possible! β
Liu Zi'an also knew that he had lost his words just now, and when it came to the matter of Hamiwei, Liu Zi'an changed the topic and said: "Bingxian, about Hamiwei's side, the Ministry of Intelligence has also received a lot of news. β
As he spoke, Liu Zi'an handed over a thick piece of information.
Liu Juntao took it and looked at it, and his face was a little unsightly.
When Liu Juntao led the army to destroy the Tatar Ministry before, he had been standing still, and Liu Juntao thought that he was short-sighted and didn't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so he despised it a little.
Later, Liu Juntao realized that he had seen from the beginning that the Tatar Ministry had no vitality, and instead of sending troops to support the Tatar Ministry and ending up with a loss of troops, it was better to let the Tatar Department fend for itself and use this time to develop its strength.
According to the information of the Ministry of Intelligence, at present, he is guarding the troops in Hami, not only gathering a part of the Tatar troops, but also colluding with the Hu people in the west of the Western Regions to continuously expand the troops, and there are great signs of continuing to advance eastward.
One of the things that Liu Juntao couldn't reassure Liu Juntao was that the former Tatar general Bai Yisaha suddenly appeared, and after the defeat of the Tatar Ministry, he miraculously survived, and took more than 10,000 remnants of the army to take refuge in Hamiwei's Gathlan. This group of Tatars took refuge in the Tatars, which made the strength of the Gazlan even more soaring, especially the prestige even more inflated, and the Hu people around Hamiwei moved closer to it one after another.
Moreover, according to the news of the Ministry of Intelligence, recently Jiaslan left Baiyi Saha to lead the army to garrison Hamiwei several times, and he led the main force to migrate eastward, annexing all the four tribes east of Hamiwei, and the troops even approached the hinterland of Gansu for a time!
For this Baiyi Saha, who is brave by nature, it is said that he is a rare fierce general with both wisdom and courage in the Tatar Department, and the reason why he did not reuse it before, but sent him to the western garrison border, is because Baiyi Saha was loyal to the first Khan, and was brave and good at fighting, and he did not dare to kill and use it, so he had to be exiled.
Now, Bayi Saha has taken refuge in Gathlan, making this leader of the Vultures, who already has more than 300,000 troops, even more powerful and ambitious.
The situation in Hamiwei is becoming more and more severe, which makes Liu Juntao feel like he is on pins and needles, especially now that the chaos in the DPRK and China is imminent, and Emperor Tianshun may die at any time, Liu Juntao seems to have seen that the Jingshi is like a volcano, completely erupting!
Although Liu Juntao knew that in history, after the death of Emperor Tianshun, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen successfully ascended the throne and became Emperor Chenghua, but at this time, Liu Juntao did not have the slightest grasp of the direction of history, and there was a sense of fear that the future was unknown.
Now the news from the palace shows that Emperor Tianshun's health is deteriorating, and he has been bedridden in just ten days, and he can't even get out of the door of the palace, so he can only deal with some government affairs in bed.
Such news can be said to be extremely bad, and now the Ming Dynasty can be said to be constantly suffering from internal and external troubles, and the situation has not only not improved with the demise of the Tatar Ministry, but has worsened more and more.
Now, because the Ming Dynasty has opened up the Hanhai Protectorate, which is thousands of miles wide, the annual expenses have to at least double, and the treasury has a huge burden on it. The ministers of the DPRK and China are still preparing for infighting, and then launch a coup d'Γ©tat; Hamiwei is now lost, and Gaslan has become another powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty after the Warat Department and the Tatar Department!
In such a situation, Liu Juntao even had a sense of urgency in the late Ming Dynasty, and his heart was very depressed.
"If you go outside, you must first settle inside! This is an eternal truth! β
Liu Juntao said to Liu Zi'an: "First clear the rebels in the court!" Then stabilize the situation and cheer up the dynasty, Benxian raised troops to the west and recaptured Hamiwei! β
Liu Zi'an couldn't help but be enthusiastic when he heard this, this is an earth-shattering career, and this is destined to be famous in history.
Liu Zi'an knew that if he hadn't had Liu Juntao, if Liu Juntao hadn't defeated him back then, and if he hadn't taken refuge in Liu Juntao, he would not have been able to have today's achievements.
But today, Liu Zi'an has not only become an official of the imperial court, but also has the opportunity to leave a name in history, what a great honor this is!
Liu Zi'an excitedly clenched his fists and said: "Bingxian rest assured!" The subordinates will do their best to assist the military constitution to achieve a great cause! β
Liu Juntao laughed and shook Liu Zi'an's hand and said, "Then let's work together to be loyal to Daming and Huaxia!" β
At the same time, Emperor Tianshun was lying in bed in the palace, his face was very ugly, and there was only a little eunuch waiting next to him. The whole hall was very dim, the windows were covered by curtains, blocking all the sunlight from the outside, and the whole hall was filled with the smell of herbs, which seemed a little choking.
"What time is it?"
The little eunuch said softly: "Your Majesty, it's already the beginning of the hour. β
"It's not time?"
Emperor Tianshun took a breath and said weakly: "I, I really want to go out to see, I haven't been out for a long time." β
"When Your Majesty's dragon body recovers, there is time to go out and travel quickly."
"Hehe~"
Emperor Tianshun laughed softly a few times and said, "Go, pass the prince into the palace, I want to see the prince!" β
"No!"
The little eunuch walked out of the palace lightly, and met the eunuch Wang Jie: "How is Your Majesty?" β
The little eunuch talked about Emperor Tianshun's situation, and then said, "Father-in-law, Your Majesty wants to see the prince." β
"See the prince at this time?"
Bingbi eunuch Wang Jie hesitated for a moment, and the little eunuch said: "Father-in-law, if this matter is not proper, then we should not know about it." β
"Bastard!"
Bingbi eunuch Wang Jie lowered his voice and said, "You are a precept!" If you want to die, don't get involved with the miscellaneous family! β
"Damn the little ones, damn the little ones!"
Looking at the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, Wang Jie, the eunuch of Bingbi, said coldly: "Go and inform the prince, but whether you can see Your Majesty or not depends on the prince's luck, and you have to wait until Your Majesty is in good health!" β
The little eunuch immediately understood, and ran away.
When the prince learned the news and rushed to the palace in a hurry, the eunuch Wang Jie and the two little eunuchs stopped him: "Oops! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be lighter, His Majesty just drank the medicine and fell asleep! β
The crown prince Zhu Jianshen wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "But my father summoned me by decree!" β
Bingbi eunuch Wang Jie sighed and said, "Your Majesty just passed the decree, and he fell asleep after a while. According to the miscellaneous family, the prince will either wait here for a while and wait until His Majesty wakes up before going in; Or the prince will go back first, and when His Majesty wakes up and is in better spirits, the miscellaneous family will send someone to notify the prince to come over? β
Hearing this, Prince Zhu Jianshen changed color slightly, and said, "My father is seriously ill, so I'll wait here!" β
"Prince, please!"
Bingbi eunuch Wang Jie and crown prince Zhu Jianshen stood at the door together, and soon an hour passed, during which the little eunuch went in to visit several times, but they all reported to the two: Emperor Tianshun was still asleep. In the end, the prince had no choice but to go back first.
After four days, the crown prince Zhu Jianshen was not relieved, and went to visit the palace almost every day, but was blocked by the eunuch Wang Jie for various reasons, and finally the prince Zhu Jianshen was really angry and immediately brushed his sleeves away.
Wang Jie looked at the prince's back, sneered, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and send a message to a few adults, tell me about the prince's movements in the past few days, and don't say a word next to him!" β
"~ Dad, don't worry, my son understands!"
When the Ministry of Intelligence reported this matter to Liu Juntao, Liu Juntao was also angry, and at the same time he was shocked, knowing that those internal officials and eunuchs had already controlled the inner court and controlled Emperor Tianshun, maybe now those internal officials and eunuchs have something to do with the ministers of the DPRK and China!
At this time, Liu Juntao was even more annoyed in his heart.
