Chapter 404: Rumors Rise Again
Da Yu'er finally fell asleep, she was coaxed to sleep by Ye Xun, but she slept on Xiao Xun's bed.
In order to facilitate the care of Ye Xun, Xiao Xun's bed was placed in Ye Xun's big tent, but he has been busy with the war recently, and Ye Xun didn't care about the small basket in the same tent.
Looking at Da Yu'er's sleeping posture with a sweet smile, Ye Xun suddenly felt that she was afraid that she had been fooled, this girl had slept in her own tent, who would dare to marry her on the grassland in the future?
I don't know if this is Sanghe's idea, or Da Yu'er came up with it herself, in order to get her own favor, it's really hard enough for the father and daughter.
The night was already very deep, but Ye Xun didn't feel sleepy at all, standing outside the tent, looking up at the deep night sky, but his thoughts had already flown back to the capital.
Recently, some people in the capital have been circulating rumors that the emperor can no longer manage the government and should give the throne to virtuous people.
What is a virtuous person, and who is worthy of this title?
As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, obviously someone saw Ye Xun's trick of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
But what about seeing it? The knife is in Lao Tzu's hands, how can you still turn the sky upside down?
Thinking of this, the corners of Ye Xun's mouth couldn't help but flash a mocking smile.
Under the same night sky, Liaodong, Kuandian Liaodong Army Camp.
In the handsome tent, Sun Chengzong was reading a secret letter from the capital by candlelight, the letter was not signed, but the content on it made Sun Chengzong frown deeply.
"Today, I am in trouble, and I am in charge of the military power in Liaodong, do you still want to be a thief?"
The letter is very short, in addition to counting Ye Xun's crimes, it also hopes that Sun Chengzong will think that he will provoke Ye Daqi to fight against Ye in the relationship with the emperor's teachers and students.
Sun Chengzong is not stupid, he knows that there have always been people in the court who are dissatisfied with Ye Xun, and they are also some more conservative diehards, because Ye Xun has violated their interests.
Sun Chengzong had been to Liaodong in his early years, and now he has set foot on this land again, and what he has seen and heard along the way has made him feel a lot of emotion.
The people live in peace, the officials rule clearly, the soldiers are high-spirited, whether it is the Mongols or the Jurchen people, in the land of Liaodong, they can live in peace, and they can also live in peace with the local Han people.
And all of this is inseparable from the merits of the traitors in the mouths of those big officials in the court, in the hearts of the military and people in Liaodong, no one can compare with Ye Xun, and neither can the emperor.
These people actually think that they are leading the Liaodong Army to crusade against Ye Xun, they really don't know how to write dead words!
Sun Chengzong in this time and space has no contact with Zhu Youxiao, so he can't talk about any deep feelings.
Sun Chengzong still has the same set of ideas as a civil official in his bones, the emperor should be your decoration, stop staying in the palace honestly, and our courtiers will do the things outside.
In other words, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, it is the literati who are in charge.
After reading the letter, he closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, picked up the secret letter and was about to burn it on the candle, but before the credible paper touched the flame, Sun Chengzong's hand stopped in mid-air.
After groaning slightly, he grabbed his clothes and walked out, saying as he walked: "Someone, go and report to Cao Shuai quickly, this official has something important to tell you"
In fact, not only Sun Chengzong, but also the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty also received secret letters from the capital, and the content of the letter was similar to that given to Sun Chengzong, but there were more words to remind them that the imperial court wanted to cut the domain.
In all dynasties, when it comes to cutting the domain, there is no accident, not to mention far away, if Emperor Jianwen is not in a hurry to cut the domain, can he give Zhu Di the opportunity to rebel? So as these letters spread, the Ming Dynasty, which was calm on the surface, was already turbulent inside.
In fact, after the Fu King Zhu Changxun was cleaned up, the people had spread the news that the imperial court was going to cut the domain, which really made the descendants of the old Zhu family nervous for a while.
You must know that it has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the Zhu family have already branched out into countless branches, but no matter what, they are also royal families and want to enjoy special allowances from the imperial court.
With the increase in the population of the clan, the free distribution of rice and silver by the imperial court has been an astronomical amount, and the clan has a grange and business, but these are not required to pay taxes to the state.
Therefore, the reason why the Ming court has today's predicament has a lot to do with these vampire-like clans, and the court is really a little overwhelmed.
But although Ye Xun realized the harmfulness of this matter, he did not have his hands free to deal with it, that is to say, someone was secretly stirring up trouble and wanted to overthrow Ye Xun's hegemony in the court.
The rumors spread quickly, and before Ye Xun arrived in Taiyuan, all kinds of news gathered in his hands.
Looking at the various reports in front of him, Ye Xun smiled, it was really a mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings! Is this going to jump out? It's just wonderful.
There is a small river next to an unknown village in the east of Taiyuan, the spring is cold and steep, there are people fishing in this season, if you change to an ordinary person, you will definitely feel that this person has a problem with his head.
Ye Xun doesn't think so, although this person has some problems, he has a position and has nothing to do with spirit.
"Brother Zhang is so elegant! I brought some burning knives, I don't know if Brother Zhang is interested? ”
The angler turned his head, looked up and down at Ye Xun in one hand and the wine jar in the other, and said, "I don't seem to know you, right?" How do you know my surname is Zhang? ”
Ye Xun smiled slightly, sat beside the angler, and opened the food box, which contained a sweet and sour fish and a roast chicken.
After taking out two wine glasses and filling them, he said: "I not only know that your surname is Zhang, but also that your name is Zhang Guanchang, and you once wanted to assist King Fu to do a great career, but unfortunately it was not a person, and in the end I had to leave, Mr. Zhang, am I right?" ”
was called out by Ye Xun's name, Zhang Guanchang's eyes shrank suddenly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Who should I be?" It turned out that Ye Gonggong came in a big way, and he missed the distance, forgive the sins, forgive the sins"
said forgiveness in his mouth, but there was no intention of asking for guilt in his tone, at this time it was superfluous to ask anything, Ye Xun could find it directly, obviously his every move had long been under the monitoring of others.
"To tell you the truth, I took the liberty to come here, there is something that has been bothering me, and I happened to pass by here, so I stopped by to ask for advice."
Ye Xun also tacitly did not mention Zhang Guanchang's past, as if he really just came to visit an old friend.
Although Zhang Guanchang didn't say anything, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, Ye Xun could treat him like this, it was really unexpected to him, but it also confirmed that the rumors were true, Ye Xun was really a man with a different mind and temperament.
"Ye Gonggong, please say, if you know, you must know everything in the future"
"Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, many rulers have cut off their heads in the end, but I still want to try, Mr. Zhang thinks I should start from there?"
Listening to Ye Xun's question, Zhang Guanchang couldn't help but be stunned, he never expected Ye Xun to ask him this question
