Chapter 1094 Trickery
The fortune teller took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, and whispered, "You eat slowly." So he took the banner and hurried away.
After eating the wonton, the young man settled the bill, and left the noodle stall to go to the market in the west to help the palace buy some supplies, and then returned to the Tang king's mansion.
The fortune teller left the noodle stall and walked around the streets with a banner, and did not take the initiative to solicit business, and the people on the street felt that the atmosphere was depressing, and no one took the initiative to care.
So, the fortune teller walked through a few streets, through a few alleys, and then disappeared into the alleys...
In the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, the guards were heavily inspected, and from time to time you could see the guards holding spears and carrying war knives at their waists, walking back and forth from the corridor.
These guards are all composed of low-level clans, and when Su Guansheng reformed the sect Milu, he received the favor of the Tang King and joined the army composed of the clan, and was loyal to the Tang King.
They were not many in number, only more than a thousand people, they were originally trained by King Yu, and now they are responsible for the safety of King Tang.
At this time, outside the study of the Tang King, it was full of elite guards, and the subordinates of the palace were not allowed to approach, and the Tang King was secretly discussing with several people inside.
"I got information from the cabinet that Wang Yan will return to Nanjing in mid-July." In the study, Tang Wang sat and said to Wu Zunzhou and Zheng Xi: "At that time, someone will tell Jindu Town in advance about Wang Yan's route back to Beijing, and Jiangxi must ambush Wang Yan to death, so that we can have a chance of winning." ”
Who is Wang Yan, the Prince of Chu of the Ming Dynasty, the regent of the imperial court, and the figure of the mighty Huaxia Dynasty, everyone can only look up to him for a long time, but now they want to plan to get rid of him, they feel nervous and exciting when they think about it.
Wu Zunzhou's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Wang Yan is always vigilant in Jiangxi, when he goes to Huguang, he would rather take a detour to Jiangbei and spend time to send the escorted people to the north bank, rather than enter Jiangxi. However, His Highness can rest assured that Jindu Town has secretly transported people and horses to Anqing, and as long as His Highness gives an order, he will definitely be able to ambush Wang Yan. ”
Jiangxi is a separatist force, and the central government will naturally suppress it, which makes it difficult for people in Jiangxi officialdom to get promoted, and unless they break away from Jiangxi and join the central government, they will have no chance to go further.
According to Emperor Gaozong's meaning, after his death, Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Chenggong are both going to be crowned kings, but now they think that they have been ruling together for four years, but their official titles have not risen at all, and they have not even received ordinary awards, and on the side of the court, Ma Jinzhong and Hao Shaoqi, who are far worse than them, have caught up with them one after another, and He Tengjiao has become another king with a different surname after Wang Yan, and they are far away, and they will even fall farther and farther away, and finally become an unpopular existence.
Jin Shenghuan has been back in Jiangxi for four years, and he has basically not moved, and his people have not been mobilized by the imperial court, of course, the main reason is that the imperial court cannot be transferred.
Now that he has been raising Rui for four years, Tang Wang believes in his ability.
After listening to Wu Zunzhou's words, Tang Wang nodded, "In this way, this matter will be handed over to Jindu Town, but when acting, don't make a clear banner." ”
Wang Yan was ambushed on the way back to Nanjing, then anyone can guess that it was Jiangxi that did it, even if they don't play the banner, the Chu faction forces also understand, but if they play the banner, there is no room for it, and if they don't play the banner, it will be convenient for the Tang Dynasty to take over Wang Yan's forces and reach a compromise with the Chu faction forces.
In this world, there are many things that everyone understands, but they need an excuse.
At this time, Zheng Xian on the side was a little puzzled, and asked: "Since Your Highness is Fengtianjing, why don't you clearly play the banner?" ”
King Tang shook his head, "The strong enemy in the north is looking around, and it is obviously inappropriate to be difficult at this time. What Gu wants is to quickly ambush Wang Yan, and then reach a compromise with the imperial court, forcing the imperial court to accept the facts, and let Gu Lai succeed as regent and lead the central government, rather than overthrowing the imperial court and establishing a new central government! ”
Wang Yan's faction was powerful, or in other words, the central government in Nanjing was huge and was already a relatively stable regime, and if the Tang king's intention was to overthrow the current central government, then the enemies he faced would be too huge.
He can't overthrow the central government, he can only integrate into it, his goal is to replace Wang Yan first, steal the central government built by Wang Yan, and then change it like Wang Yan.
If his goal is to deal with the entire central government, and it is really difficult to deal with it, then it will take at least four or five years to fight, and he may not be able to fight it.
If there were no Jin and Qing, the Tang King might choose to completely defeat the Chu faction, but with a strong enemy around him, he couldn't help but control the scale.
This time, his position was a military coup, just like Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change, which made Li Yuan accept the facts, he only needed to ambush Wang Yan and force the Nanjing court to compromise, not to eliminate all the Chu faction forces, even if he wanted to eliminate, he would not necessarily eliminate them.
If he has the intention of completely eliminating the Chu faction, it will inevitably cause a strong counterattack, and He Tengjiao in the southwest alone will not be easy to deal with.
Therefore, King Tang's plan was to ambush and kill Wang Yan, dump King Lu, and quickly compromise with the central government.
The Jing Difficulty was proposed by King Lu, and in the eyes of King Tang, King Lu did not have any good intentions.
At this time, it is difficult to appease, and the name is not justified, in fact, it is a rebellion.
Zheng Xi's level is limited, and he seems to understand it a little, "Didn't His Royal Highness reach an agreement with King Lu and propose to make it difficult?" ”
"It is difficult to appease, and it is King Lu who wants to rebel, and Lone will always stand on the side of the court. King Lu hid the third prince of Zhu, thinking that Lone didn't know, he thought that Huang Que was behind, how could Lone let him get his wish. Lone promised him that he wanted him to send Zhejiang soldiers and horses to Nanjing, help Lone put pressure on the court, and let the court compromise with me, and once Lone and the court reached an agreement, he could use an excuse to quell the rebellion and eliminate King Lu! ”
The Nanjing court was the court of the Tang Dynasty, and the contradiction between Tang and Wang Yan was who would hold the power of the court, but he and King Lu were in a legal dispute. Although the two came together because of Wang Yan, the contradiction has not been resolved.
He promised King Lu to be difficult, because he wanted King Lu to raise troops to take the blame, and he was to pacify the trouble, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Doesn't His Highness want to stay in Nanjing? It's too dangerous! The meaning of the surname is that I hope His Royal Highness will leave Nanjing and go to Fujian! Zheng Xi was stunned for a moment.
Tang Wang shook his head, "Lone must stay in Nanjing, once Wang Yan dies, Nanjing will inevitably be chaotic, and Lone needs to stand up." Zhejiang is close to Nanjing, and Fujian is far away, if King Lu is allowed to control Nanjing, then Gu will fall short. ”
"But in the city of Nanjing, the power of the imperial court is strong, what if Gao Yigong and the others hear that Wang Yan is ambushed, which is not good for His Highness?" Zheng Xi said worriedly.
"Lone will give King Lu a wrong time to send troops in advance, and at this time, the Jiangxi side has just started, and it is impossible for the court to get the news that Wang Yan was ambushed, and will only negotiate with Lone, and when the time comes, Lone will try to control Gao Yigong and others." King Tang squinted his eyes and said: "At this time, the imperial court saw that King Lu's troops were coming to Nanjing, and the Zhejiang Navy Division blocked the Yangtze River, and then got the news of Wang Yan's death, so it could only rely on Gu to fight against King Lu." ”
King Lu wanted the Tang King to rebel and seize the throne of the little emperor, and he came to quell the rebellion again, and now in this way, it was originally the Tang King Jingnan, and it became the Lu Wang Jingnan rebellion.
The fortune teller walked around, and after a while, he walked to the back door of the Fusi in Beizhen and dodged in.
