Chapter 020: The Princes join forces
All the people in the capital have made the most common sense mistake.
Since Zhao Zongwu was able to start from scratch and expel the powerful Jiannu forces from Liaodong in just a few years, this is in itself a ruthless character with tenacity and wisdom.
Imagine how such a ruthless character would take the initiative to make so many mistakes?
Because it is still a foolish existence in the eyes of others.
If Zhao Zongwu was really as rumored in the capital, he would not be able to be expelled from the Liaodong territory at all.
You must know that since the end of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty has been worried about the Jiannu army, and even in order to stabilize the rout in Liaodong, the imperial court also creatively opened Liaoyu.
But every year, millions of taels of silver are scattered on the boundaries of western Liaoning, but the effect of this is far from being achieved, and Donghai Town, which is supported by the imperial court, is better, and even one-third of the effect has not been achieved.
If it weren't for Zhao Zongwu on the front line in Liaodong and leading his troops under tremendous pressure, I am afraid that Sun Chengzong and they would not be able to recover the land of western Liaoxi at all.
Because that's how history evolves.
Pity these high-ranking Quanxun and Beijing officials in Beijing, they didn't think of this layer at all, according to their understanding, and the Zhao Zongwu they imagined, maybe it should be like this.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the waves in front die on the beach.
Sometimes, in the fiercely competitive court, it is not a good thing to show your power to the outside world too early.
Just like the current eunuchs, Zhu Youzhen, who wants to be the emperor, because they basically put their power on the table, and the previous struggle has used up all their hole cards.
The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
Zhao Zongwu is the yellow finch.
Because he knew very well what the Tao was in his heart, and Zhao Zongwu also knew what he wanted, he never put Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Zheng Guifei in his eyes.
No matter how much they toss, the era is not the era they live in after all, and the current era has been taken over by the younger generation.
So Zhao Zongwu has been waiting for Zhu Youzhen to make a move.
Although he said that he had been to the Xinwang Mansion before and warned Zhu Youzhen, how could a person with ambition in his heart be intimidated by the warning?
It's just that Zhao Zongwu didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to appear in the Qianqing Palace so arrogantly.
"Today, my father came to the Qianqing Palace, in addition to helping His Royal Highness King Xin to eradicate the small people around him, my Ming royal family, His Royal Highness the King of Faith, how can I be bewitched by that ** person? If this is spread out, it will be the face of the court! Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting in the seat, Zhao Zongwu stated indifferently.
At this time, Zhao Zongwu's aura was very sufficient, and all the existences led by Wei Zhongxian, Concubine Li Kang, and Concubine Zheng Guifei all looked at him with strange expressions.
Everyone wanted to know what the man with a powerful aura in front of them wanted to do.
"Another time when my Ming Dynasty is currently in turmoil, the dynasty is chaotic, and Jiannu is still my Liaodong, my Ming's henchman, if you let the Jiannu forces who went to Nuer Gandu Division know the chaos of my Ming Dynasty today, I am afraid of ......abnormal changes."
Originally, everyone didn't have anything in their hearts, but when they heard Zhao Zongwu mention Jiannu, the eyes of these people changed and changed.
'What do you mean! Is this a threat? ’
'Didn't you say that Jiannu had already been defeated?! ’
'Why is there still such a thing as a slave?' ’
'Haven't all the Jiannu been expelled from Liaodong?' Does Jiannu still dare to threaten? ’
In the hearts of many people, I am afraid that there is such a mentality, and no one will understand in their hearts that Jiannu at this time is still a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.
Although it is said that the current Jiannu does not take the initiative to find trouble, but a large number of Han people are coerced to go to the slaves to develop in the capital, and the Jiannu who is afraid of painstaking management is not as simple as before.
"For this reason, this duke is willing to go out of the mountain to help the new emperor stabilize the dynasty!"
This was not what Zhao Zongwu said, everyone was shocked in their hearts, who dared to say such words at this time?
Following the sound, I saw the British Duke Zhang Weixian walking into the hall with great energy, and the national robe was worn on his body, which particularly set off his momentum.
But that's not the end.
"This duke, I am also willing to go out of the mountain to help the new emperor stabilize the dynasty!"
Immediately behind Zhang Weixian, a simple Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen also appeared at this time, compared to the aging British Duke Zhang Weixian, at this time Zhu Chunchen was in the year of establishment, and he was even more enthusiastic about power.
"This duke, I am also willing to help the new emperor stabilize the court!"
followed by Zhu Chunchen, it was Xu Xi, the Duke of Pingguo who had been changed his title, but compared with the first two Duke Guo, this Xu Xi had a bit of amusement on his face.
Who would have thought that he, who was not valued by the world, would one day be able to appear in the Qianqing Palace so grandiosely, and talk so arrogantly.
The British Mansion that stayed in the capital, the Chengguo Mansion, and the Pingguo Mansion, which represented the top forces of the Ming Dynasty, were born as martial artists, although the attitude of the imperial court towards them was a manifestation of inhibition, and they, as the princes who were resting with the country, also needed to avoid suspicion.
This also makes them all hidden behind the court, silently cultivating the forces under their command, and making a lot of money in a muffled voice.
Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi's successive appearances made Wei Zhongxian, Concubine Li Kang, Concubine Zheng Guifei, and Zhu Youzhen stunned, they never expected this scene to appear, let alone Zhao Zongwu actually gathered Zhang Weixian and them.
That's right!
There is no doubt about this.
can let Zhang Weixian and them appear in the Qianqing Palace together, this matter must be Zhao Zongwu's secret contribution behind the scenes.
Looking at Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi who walked in, Zhao Zongwu Chong, who was standing in the hall, nodded slightly, and then said sonorously: "This duke, I am also willing to help the new emperor revitalize the dynasty!" He was the last to speak, and everyone present was completely stunned.
The top martial arts forces of the Ming Dynasty, now that the four major powers are willing to join forces to help the new emperor reorganize the chaotic dynasty, all the previous quarrels have become so pale and powerless at this time.
Wei Zhongxian: They don't even know how to interpret it.
Outside, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong, and there are more than 100,000 troops in Beijing in charge of the British Duke, plus the left and right foils of Chengguo and Pingguogong, what kind of power does this represent?
Originally, these were not a thing at all, after all, since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty Wuxun did not have such a big say in the court.
But who would have thought that the situation would become so fast, so fast that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government did not react, and they found that the Wufu forces were strong again.
