The royal street was cleaned early in the morning, and in the afternoon fallen leaves fell on the brick floor. The overcast Jingshi couldn't tell whether it was morning or afternoon just by looking at the sky.

One after another, ministers walked towards Fengtianmen. Huang Zicheng tidied up the table with his hands, straightened his black gauze hat with both hands, and also got up and went out to Fengtianmen.

This afternoon, the Holy Lord convened the ministers to discuss the matter of pacifying the Yan rebellion, and the most important thing was to decide on a new commander in charge of the army to replace Geng Bingwen, who died in Zhending.

Who will be chosen, Huang Zicheng is still uncertain.

In the past few days, the saint has been waiting for the opinions of the ministers, Huang Zicheng has always wanted to recommend Li Jinglong, but Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, opposed it and tried his best to promote Guo Ying; Xu Huizu once again elected Sheng Yong...... Those who put forward their opinions have their own opinions, and it is difficult to talk about them.

Huang Zicheng was walking to the royal street, and suddenly a shout came from behind him: "Lord Huang, Lord Huang ......"

Huang Zicheng stopped and turned around. The person who came ran over quickly and said a call in Huang Zicheng's ear.

"Really?" Huang Zicheng glared.

The person who came hurriedly took out a book of recitals from his arms and said: "The recital of the really sure general has just arrived at the General Affairs Department." ”

"Okay, this official will go to face the saint first." Huang Zicheng nodded.

When they reached the royal gate, all the important ministers of the court arrived, and after a while, when the emperor sat on the throne, everyone bowed and greeted him. After saluting, everyone stood on the floor tiles in order.

Obviously, there will be a lot of disputes in the imperial council this time, but no one spoke for a while, as if they were all preparing to do a big job! The hall was silent for a while.

Huang Zicheng looked back left and right unhurriedly, and finally stood up first, and said, "The minister has something to do." ”

"Say." A voice came from above.

Huang Zicheng said: "The General Administration Department has just received a report from the front, and Wang Fu, the envoy of the Yan Rebellion, is negotiating peace with Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding. After Guo Ying refused in public, Wang Fu met Guo Ying privately again! There is a secret report from the soldiers in the Chinese army, and Wang Fu and Guo Ying talked about their kinship......"

"Ahh Several people screamed in surprise.

The relationship between Guo Ying and King Yan is too troublesome, and many courtiers don't know about it at all!

Huang Zicheng continued: "Guo Ming, the second son of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, married Xu; The father of the Xu family is the uncle of the King of Zhongshan (posthumously named Xu Da). Princess Xu, the wife of King Yan, is the daughter of King Zhongshan (Xu Da). King Yan and Marquis of Wuding married the same ...... the Xu family"

Xu Huizu said with an annoyed face: "King Yan is the son of Taizu, isn't it unusual to have a relationship with the nobles of the court?" Then King Yan is still my brother-in-law, am I not loyal to the court? What is this, what can the messenger say when he sees Guo Ying, just talking about how this relative kissed, it will take a long time to explain it! ”

Huang Zicheng faced Xu Huizu and said: "Since the relatives are unreliable, why did Guo Ying want to see Yan Envoy Wang Fu privately?" The Marquis of Changxing died, and the two armies inside and outside the country were really sure to be safe, and they were still talking about peace, what was going on? ”

"Alas......" Qi Tai suddenly sighed.

Sure enough, the superior spoke, and the emperor's voice was still the same, but his tone was anxious, "Redeploy troops to the north, and we can't delay any longer." ”

Guo Ying, who was recommended by Qi Tai, is out of play, and the person recommended by Xu Huizu is even worse......

At this time, Huang Zicheng immediately bowed and said: "The minister recommended Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, who was loyal and advocated the reduction of the domain, and would never make peace with Yan. Cao Guogong was born in the gate of the generals and nobles, and the art of war of the gate Huzi is an heirloom, and his reputation is extremely high. The king of Zhou is lawless, brave and strategic, and the strange soldiers won it in one fell swoop, this is the talent of the general! ”

The Emperor's voice said, "Quasi-play." ”

……

Outside the city of Zhending, King Yan and his henchmen were discussing in the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, the strategist Jin Zhong walked outside the tent door, and after the report, Jin Zhong walked in in the dust, and everyone looked sideways. Although Jin Zhong was covered in dust, he smiled and calmly hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wang, the imperial court is going to send a new handsome, it is Li Jinglong." ”

"Hahaha......" King Yan suddenly slapped his palm on his thigh, raised his head and laughed.

King Yan has always been serious, except for pretending to be crazy for a while, he will hardly lose his temper like this; Even if there is a smile since the beginning of the army, he has laughed reluctantly, and he has not been so happy for a long time.

Most of the generals didn't know why, so they had to laugh together for a while.

King Yan leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, clutched his stomach and said, "Good imperial nephew!" It's not good to send anyone, send Li Jinglong, hey, I guess this is a plan! ”

The generals hurriedly asked: "Tell me about the prince, what is the plan?" ”

King Yan smiled: "I just want to use this trick to laugh me to death!" Isn't there no need for Jing? ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed too. Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the cheap dad to have a bit of humor.

Everyone laughed loudly for a while, and then King Yan said: "This Li Jinglong and I know, and many soldiers in the Beijing camp also know him, and the soldiers will not accept it at all.

This man has no strategy, no ability to command troops, and no experience in leading troops in battle...... is stubborn and self-serving, never listens to words, and is jealous and mean to others. If he hadn't been stubborn and self-aware, how could he have gladly accepted this great responsibility? ”

After hearing this, the generals bowed and said, "Li Jinglong, who is the opponent of the prince?!" ”

King Yan was in a good mood, and encouraged the generals to say, "Li Jinglong is half of our people, and we will deal with the traitors of the court together. You are working hard, we have killed the traitorous ministers and Qingjun, and we have become half of them! ”

At this moment, Jin Zhong bowed and said, "Master Daoyan also asked the lower official to bring a few words. ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened to these words, and suddenly felt that Jin Zhong was Yao Guangxiao's person.

King Yan said: "It's not an outsider, let's talk about it." ”

Jin Zhong said: "Master Daoyan said that the founding party of the Ming Dynasty has been in the country for more than 30 years, and the people have no worries about hunger and cold; Now the traitorous ministers are raising up soldiers, and the court has to fight with the army, and the people avoid it. There is a limited number of military households in the world, and there is even more limited number of military households that must be garrisoned in various localities and can be recruited and transferred. King Yan doesn't have to worry about the gains and losses of one city and one pond first, and it is advisable to seize the opportunity of the incompetence of the commander of the Southern Army, and take the ...... as the key to cutting off and weakening the strength of the official army."

Zhu Gaoxu listened all the time, and when he heard this, he immediately felt that Yao Guangxiao was quite knowledgeable, and his thinking was not conservative and relatively advanced. Although Yao Guangxiao has always been inclined to the prince and is not very harmonious with Zhu Gaochu in private, Zhu Gaochu has to appreciate and respect him when he hears his insight.

Jin Zhong continued: "In the past, Song Taizong's northern expedition to the land of clouds was lured by the Liao army to go deeper, gathered and annihilated, and the Song army's military strength has declined greatly and collapsed. Now Li Jinglong is even worse than Song Taizong, and King Yan can follow the law of the Liao army, lead him to Yandi, and find an opportunity to gather and annihilate! ”

"Good!" King Yan quickly agreed, "Order the whole army, and return to Beiping tomorrow." ”

The generals bowed and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Jin Zhong took two steps forward and said, "The prince is really heaven's help!" Originally, after the death of Marquis Changxing, it may not be Li Jinglong's turn. Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department of the DPRK and China, recommended Guo Ying, and he knew that Huang Zicheng wanted to recommend Li Jinglong, and he was very opposed.

And because Huang Zicheng was the emperor's teacher and was extremely favored, Qi Tai actually secretly played Huang Zicheng to collude with the harem and interfere in the emperor's private affairs, wanting to separate the emperor and Huang Zicheng, so as to prevent Li Jinglong from becoming the commander.

Unexpectedly, someone really told Guo Ying to negotiate peace with Yan Jun, and also privately met the envoy to kiss. That Qi Tai originally recommended Guo Ying, but now the emperor was furious and suspicious of Guo Ying and Qi Tai...... So Huang Zicheng won again, and Li Jinglong will be in command of the Northern Expedition! ”

"Hah!" After hearing this, King Yan immediately turned his head, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a smile, "Although Gao Xu's idea didn't win over Guo Ying, it was an accident!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this kind of operation! The Nanjing Imperial Court is very complicated, like a big dung pit, how does Zhu Gaoxu know the ins and outs of the complex relationships inside? It's a complete "blind cat encountering a dead mouse".

He hurriedly said: "Zhending officials and soldiers can't hold out, and the sons and daughters see that their father is worried, and they just want to share their father's worries, but there is really no good way, so they have to come up with a crooked idea, let's try it, I don't want to have this effect." Congratulations to my father, this is not as good as heaven, and heaven also helps my father! ”

King Yan smiled: "Gao Xu is my blessing, and it has brought me good luck and blessings." ”

Everyone congratulated and agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu accidentally saw Yuan Hui next to him...... A few days ago, Yuan Heng actually said that the person who came up with that plan was not as good as a three-year-old child! Yuan Heng was silent now, his eyes were dodgy, for fear that others would notice him.

At this moment, Yuan Hui also cast his gaze, and accidentally looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Yuan Hui's expression suddenly became extremely embarrassed, blue and white for a while, very ugly. If you don't know the inside story, you still think that he just ate a lump of dirty things, so he will have such an expression!

Yuan Hui must be very unhappy...... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized, did Lao Tzu offend him?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shouted in his heart that he was wronged, he came up with a plan that was not clever, and he didn't do anything else, so he offended people? That Yuan Heng is also wonderful, what do you do when you come up to judge yourself, if he is not convinced, he will not be able to come up with a plan?

Yuan Hui was born as a scholar, and like Yao Guangxiao, a monk, he was not a member of the imperial examination, but he was not sure of his relationship with Yao Guangxiao.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered, it is always a good thing to offend fewer people, and he has to take a look at the situation first, and then find an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with him.

After everyone finished speaking in the big tent, King Yan dispersed, and the generals hugged their fists and said, "The last general will wait for his farewell!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the big tent, went back first to prepare to convey King Yan's military orders, and took everyone to flash early tomorrow morning.

He went back to the tent and drank a cup of cold boiled water, and after taking a breath, he calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly felt a little strange...... Li Jinglong has not yet left Beijing, and the news has already reached Zhending, this is not surprising, the fourth uncle Xu Zengshou may be an internal ghost! However, even Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's private Xiao Jiujiu, Yao Guangxiao can know?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that Yao Guangxiao, a monk, is beyond imagination, and he is also very good at spying intelligence, which is simply pervasive!
