Chapter 122: Infernal Affairs
At the end of October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Shenyang.
"Grandpa Guo, this time the capital issued an edict, and the officials always feel that it is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Sun Chuanting frowned slightly, and his words were a little worried, "If there is fraud behind this, and most of my army of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion is located in the Jilin Special Economic Zone, I am afraid that it will ......."
Zhao Zongwu, who was standing at the head of the team, looked into the distance with an indifferent expression, no one could figure out what Zhao Zongwu was thinking at this time.
Since the end of September, the basic general trend of the Jilin Special Economic Zone has been straightened out clearly, and the significance of Zhao Zongwu's stay in the Jilin Special Economic Zone is no longer significant.
After discussing the basic outline of the Jilin Special Economic Zone with the high-level officials of the Jiubian Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Zongwu led the remaining ministries to return to the eastern Liaoning region.
Chen Qiyu snorted coldly: "Chengguo Gong, they had better not play tricks, if there is the slightest behavior that endangers Guogong, then they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!" ”
Since attacking the Jiannu army, the army has completely stood behind Zhao Zongwu, and the handsome and fierce generals who once had some doubts in their hearts have only one thought in their hearts at this moment, that is, to be unswerving, follow behind their own grandfather!
No matter what moves his grandfather will make in the future.
This is the boundless prestige that war brings.
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." Zhao Zongwu, who looked into the distance, said indifferently: "Now that the important towns of the Nine Sides have been reorganized by our army, the foreign forces that threaten our army have also been completely eradicated after this battle, and the external troubles have been solved so far."
The current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty in the mind of the father, the rogue is all over the place, the famine has been going on for many years, the evil gentry are everywhere, the luck of the Ming Dynasty, the father is really tired of saving it......"
As soon as Zhao Zongwu said this, the subordinates around him all spoke silently.
Although they were already alert in their hearts, these words came out of the mouth of their grandfather, and they didn't react for a while.
Merely.
Isn't silence an attitude?
Zhao Zongwu did not directly overthrow Zhu Ming's regime, after all, in terms of legality, there are inherent defects in itself.
But after this narration, it was also clear what he thought in his heart, since Zhu Ming could not continue to give the people stability, then what would happen next was not something that my father could do with blind restraint.
"Report! The Qincha team has arrived in Shenyang! The silent scene, as the scout team on standby came to report, the attention of the present also gathered on the team that came to Liaodong to announce the will.
Because in Zhu Ciran's heart, he no longer wants to be like a puppet, at the mercy of Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji.
On the other hand, although Zhu Ciran knew very well in his heart that Zhao Zongwu, who was far away in the Liaodong region, was essentially the same as Zhu Chunchen who lived in the capital.
But the desire for power made Zhu Ciran's heart no longer care about these things.
As long as he can break the barrier smoothly, not look at the imperial power that belongs to him, and firmly grasp the hands of Zhu Chunchen and them, this group of wolf-faced politicians, he is willing to take the fire from the fire!
Equally.
Zhu Ciran's big trouble in the Heavenly Palace also brought a very passive situation to Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji, but since the matter has appeared, they can only find a way to solve it as much as possible.
For Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji, they can't let Zhao Zongwu return to the capital no matter what, because once Zhao Zongwu returns to the capital, it will bring an extremely serious threat to their power.
Not to mention anything else, in the hands of Zhao Zongwu alone, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, once he returns to the capital, it will lead to irreversible occurrence.
To do this, they came up with a solution.
If Zhao Zongwu can be seriously ill in Shenyang at this point in time, (see that he is seriously ill, just let Zhao Zongwu be seriously ill in Shenyang, so that he cannot return to the capital as soon as possible, then Zhu Chunchen and them can pretend that Zhao Zongwu does not respect the name of the Son of Heaven, and take advantage of the situation to deprive Zhao Zongwu of half of the military power in the nine-sided important towns, mainly in Xuanfu Town, Jizhen and other nine-sided important towns adjacent to the capital. )
Although this is a risky move, the slightest mistake can cause greater variables. But just like that, watching Zhao Zongwu return to the capital by order, and return with the momentum of destroying Jiannu, there is almost no need to think about it, Zhu Chunchen and they all know in their hearts what kind of impact Zhao Zongwu's return will have on them.
If there is a better way, Zhu Chunchen and they are not willing to use this trick, but this is really no way, for Zhu Chunchen and them, let them lose their power, this is more painful than asking for their lives.
But Zhu Chunchen and the others ignored Zhao Zongwu's true thoughts in his heart from the beginning. Everything they planned was based on Zhao Zongwu's mind and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty!
However, for a traverser, it is unrealistic to make him loyal to his family and surname, after all, the education he has experienced in the later life will not allow his heart to do so.
Zhang Guangxi, Marquis of Boyin, rode on a horse, with a little worry in his expression, as the core of Zhu Chunchen's lineage, in the years when Zhu Chunchen was developed, Zhang Guangxi also soared, from the original earl in the decline of the capital, promoted to the marquis, and he had a lot of wealth in his hands.
It is precisely because of the benefits that Zhu Chunchen and the others can keep climbing.
But allegiance does not mean that they are willing to throw away their net worth and life!
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, although Zhu Chunchen and the others did not give the details to the Qincha appointed on the surface, Zhang Guangxi, the Marquis of Boyin, the sign set up, it can still cover up some of the things that Zhu Chunchen and they have to do to the greatest extent.
It's better not too many people to know about this kind of thing.
More importantly, let Boyin Marquis Zhang Guangxi come, it was also with a task, in the process of his cronie eunuch Shen Gui reading the will, to Zhao Zongwu's recruitment, we must absolutely put an end to Shen Gui and Zhao Zongwu's intimate contact in any sense.
"Gonggong Shen, this time I will go to Shenyang City to read the will, Ben Hou thinks that it should be carried out as quickly as possible." Boyin Marquis Zhang Guangxi frowned slightly, looked at Shen Gui who was sitting next to him, and said indifferently: "Although it is said that the current season has begun to become cold in Liaodong, Your Majesty has Dingguo Gong in mind, so you should read the will as quickly as possible, let Dingguo Gong travel lightly and go to the capital!" ”
Because of Zhu Chunchen's planned deployment, only a few people know, on the other hand, in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, it is also an absolute secret to Zhang Guangxi, the Marquis of Boyin.
Even in order not to let Zhang Guangxi, the Marquis of Boyin, have any inappropriate measures in his behavior, which makes Zhao Zongwu suspicious, so before going to Liaodong, Zhu Chunchen explained the false meaning to Zhang Guangxi, the Marquis of Boyin.
On the premise of supervising Shen Gui and Zhao Zongwu, it is also necessary to let Zhao Zongwu leave Shenyang as soon as possible, and even the team around him must be as little as possible.
Although Zhang Guangxi, the Marquis of Boyin, is not particularly optimistic in his heart, but since Zhu Chunchen has said so, then he can only bite the bullet and resist such a burden!
Shen Gui smiled slightly and said, "What Marquis Boyin said is extremely true, and His Majesty also means this. ”
Shen Gui didn't take Boyin Hou Zhang Guangxi's remarks to heart, because before he came, he had been specially advised by Zhu Ciran.
The purpose of letting Dingguo Duke Zhao Zongwu return to Beijing was to contain Zhu Chunchen and them, so whether to contact Zhao Zongwu and how to contact Zhao Zongwu was based on how Zhu Chunchen and their eyeliner viewed this matter.
The illusion that this matter wants to convey is to make Zhu Chunchen and them, think in their hearts, that I just want to pretend to use the army in the hands of Zhao Zongwu to make trouble!
But in fact, what I really want to achieve is to let Dingguo Gong and Zhu Chunchen compete with each other, and I will be the fisherman in the end!
As a generation of emperors, Zhu Ciran's ideas can be said to be very clever, and he can have such ideas at a young age, which is obviously a very good existence, but his young experience has given him a bit of instability on the foundation after all.
Zhu Ciran's plan is obviously based on the generation of idealized states.
In just over ten years, from scratch, to today's record, Zhao Zongwu is not a negligible existence.
But their vision and their cultivation made them stubbornly think, or never thought that Zhao Zongwu was the ruthless character who really wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
At least before that, Zhao Zongwu had never shown it.
It is precisely because of this that everyone in the world thinks that Zhao Zongwu is the savior of the Ming Dynasty.
Even before the battle of Jiannu, the talents around Zhao Zongwu, although there were some speculations in their hearts, it was just that for various reasons, they were unwilling to think deeply about this aspect.
Right.
It's a typical ostrich mentality.
In order to completely eradicate this shortcoming, Zhao Zongwu thoroughly publicized his attitude through a war.
The advantage of this is that he has directly gained a large group of followers, and he may still be a little hesitant now, but once there is a big change, then they will all stand firmly behind Zhao Zongwu.
Faced with such a complex situation, Zhao Zongwu, as the top-level layout, already had a complete plan in his heart.
The intelligence agencies scattered all over the Ming Dynasty made him control most of the secret matters, as the most important object of attention, Zhao Zongwu would definitely not leave Zhu Chunchen behind, since Zhu Chunchen and them had different ideas in their hearts, so how could Zhao Zongwu not give them this opportunity?
Therefore, from the very beginning, this situation was in the hands of Zhao Zongwu and never broke away.
