Chapter 751: Han Zanzhou, who knows the current affairs
The news of the rebellion of the Duke of Qi was first reported by the Chizhou Mansion, Chen Yue from the Jiujiang cavalry, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses along the river on nearly a thousand ships, openly waving the banner of the Qing monarch's side, its movement is too big, it is impossible for the local government to be unaware. The Chizhou Mansion, which was closest to Jiujiang, was shocked when it heard the news, and immediately sent officials to report to Nanjing.
In the afternoon when he got the news, Ma Xiang, the eunuch sent to Jiujiang to deliver the edict, also fled back to Nanjing, bringing back conclusive evidence of Qi Guogong's rebellion.
"How can there be a rebellion, how can a good person rebel?" The head of Wenyuan Pavilion was on duty, and the old man of the pavilion, Wang Duo, completely lost the calmness that a scholar should have, and sat there with a pale face and muttered.
Shoufu Shi Kefa's face was pale, and his eyes that were always shining lost their former brilliance. He never thought that Chen Yue would rebel!
The heroic man who saved the king's fierce generals in the million-dollar army, sent the king south for thousands of miles to return to the righteous, quelled the rebellion of King Fu, resisted the southern invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and made countless military exploits for the Ming Dynasty, will choose to suddenly attack at this time and rebel!
The thieves have not yet been pacified, most of the territory has not been recovered, the Manchu Tartars are storming Dengzhou, Shandong, the emperor suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, at this time the commander of the 100,000 army, the hero who was given high hope by everyone, actually rebelled! Isn't this going to drive Da Ming to a dead end?
At this moment, Shi Kefa suddenly felt disheartened, the day before he was still racking his brains for the future of the Ming Dynasty, choosing a suitable vassal king to succeed him, and now it seems that everything he has done in the past is so ridiculous.
"Takeo can't believe it the most! If a civil official was sent as the supervisor to be responsible for resisting the western thieves, and Chen Yue was the vanguard, such a thing would never happen! At this moment, Shi Kefa regretted that when Chongzhen ordered Chen Yue to lead the army, he had no objection.
"Why hasn't Ma Xiang, who went to deliver the decree, enter the palace yet?" Wang Duo couldn't wait, and suddenly became angry.
"It should be almost there, go down and take a look." A subordinate of the cabinet spread his feet and ran out.
Why did Chen Yue rebel? Whether it is to seize the Ming Dynasty, or there are other reasons, if it is for other reasons, it may not be impossible to discuss, but all this must be clarified, and the most clear inside story is none other than Ma Xiang, who went to Jiujiang to spread the message.
The celebrant and eunuch, Han Zanzhou was looking at Ma Xiang seriously, and several strong eunuchs stood on both sides of Han Zanzhou, faintly surrounding Ma Xiang.
"Ancestor, this is how things have happened, the slave doesn't dare to lie to you!" Ma Xiang knelt in front of Han Zanzhou and almost cried.
Chen Yue's army was most afraid of Han Zanzhou, because he knew that if what he did was really exposed, when Chen Yue entered Nanjing, what was waiting for him would be a catastrophe. At this moment, Han Zanzhou deeply regretted that there were originally some small contradictions between himself and Qi Guogong, it was because Chongzhen had to do something against Chen Yue for the purpose of checks and balances, but it was all for the public and not a personal grudge, why did he fall for Fang Mingxia and Liu Kongzhao, and provoke Chen Yue, the killing god!
But it's too late to regret it, everything has already been done, and there is no place to buy regret medicine in this world. However, Han Zanzhou still rushed to get him to the celebrant as soon as Ma Xiang returned to Beijing, and he had to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
"You mean, Chen Yue said that he had the secret edict that His Majesty gave him before he had a stroke, so that he could raise troops and return to Beijing?" Han Zanzhou confirmed again.
"Yes, old ancestor, that's what Qi Guogong said." Ma Xiang nodded vigorously, almost swearing.
"That's nonsense! How did Your Majesty ever give him a secret decree? Why did His Majesty give him a secret decree? Your Majesty is too late to guard against him, how can he let him return to Beijing with his troops! Han Zanzhou said angrily, but his heart gradually relaxed.
As the master of ceremonies, he is equivalent to the head of the inner palace, and everything in this palace cannot escape Han Zanzhou's ears and eyes. And after following Chongzhen for so long, Han Zanzhou still knows Chongzhen, he has never really trusted others, even Chen Yue.
For Chen Yue, Chongzhen has always reused the embankment, and tried every means to prevent the generals from becoming bigger and threatening the rule of the Ming Dynasty. And Chongzhen himself is in control of the entire court situation, how could he do such a ridiculous thing as letting Chen Yue raise troops on the side of Qingjun!
This just shows that Chen Yue did not know the cause of the death of the third prince and the inside story of Chongzhen's stroke and coma, not to avenge Chongzhen's revenge, but completely because of his own ambition, taking advantage of Chongzhen's coma and the turmoil in the imperial court to send troops blatantly, in order to replace the ambition of the Ming Dynasty to be the emperor.
It seems that Chen Yue really wants to rebel! Han Zanzhou was relieved.
As long as the matter of his harm to the three princes is not exposed, the court will resist Chen Yue if it can, and if it can't resist himself, he will decisively surrender and become a vassal, maybe Chen Yue may not necessarily have to put himself to death!
"It seems that the princess didn't pass on any bad news to Qi Guogong." Han Zanzhou muttered, a few days ago, when Princess Kunxing's personal palace maid Die'er was sent by the princess, he still suspected that Kunxing was going to deliver the news outside the palace, and out of suspicion, he sent his henchman eunuch Xiao Guizi to intercept it, but now it seems that Princess Kunxing was wronged.
Think about it, the emperor suffered a stroke and fell into a coma, the princess was too late to be anxious, what news could she spread outside, would she send a letter to Chen Yue to ask Chen Yue to rebel against her? I feel ridiculous when I think about it, and I blame myself for being a thief at the time, and I was suspicious of everything, and I really wronged Princess Kunxing.
No, you have to make up for the tension with the princess. Qi Guogong Chen Yue's favorite is the princess, as long as he is right now, even if Chen Yue defeats Nanjing, as long as the princess speaks for herself, she can be safe and sound, maybe she can become the head of the inner palace of the new dynasty, and her status is not under now!
"Ancestor, the cabinet is urging again, call Ma Xiang to the cabinet to reply!" A little eunuch hurriedly ran in and said to Han Zanzhou.
"Let's go, let's go to the cabinet with you!" Han Zanzhou said to Ma Xiang.
This matter is too big, it is related to the future of Daming and his own fate, Han Zanzhou wants to find out how the cabinet will deal with it as soon as possible. However, before leaving, Han Zanzhou still called a confidant eunuch and quietly instructed.
"Ahh The eunuch cried out in surprise.
"Ahhh Just do what our family says, and the things given to the princess must be the best, so that the princess is satisfied and comfortable. Xiao Guizi's dog thing dared to offend the palace maid beside the princess, such a bold and reckless slave could not be spared. You escorted him to the outside of the Qianqing Palace and scolded him with a cruel rod, so that the princess had this evil breath. Our family will also go to see the princess in person later and make amends. ”
