Chapter 41: Speaking of King Ning

Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?

Besides, listening to these four very domineering words coming out of Murong Yanran's mouth, it was full of conspiracy.

"Who is the tiger? Who's a wolf? He asked.

"This is just a metaphor, that is, let us fight to the death with the ancestor protector faction, and then the court will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Murong Yanran said.

"This? The imagination of the predecessors is too rich, the Qinwang faction and the ancestor protection faction are both Jianghu sects, there is no need for the emperor to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, right? And he laughed dumbly.

"Gongzi doesn't know, for many years, we and the ancestor protector faction have also been a thorn in the eye of the imperial court, we and the ancestor protector faction have been stubborn, and they can't fight, no one can destroy anyone, the court is happy to pretend not to see, let you play. In fact, the court can't manage it if it wants to. ”

"The court can't control it?" Besides, I can't understand her words, and I don't believe that the court can't manage things.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go inside and talk." Murong Yanran listened to the surrounding movements.

Zhou Dingcheng said: "Seniors, rest assured, although those people outside have a few practitioners, their skills are limited, and they can't hear our movements." ”

"I'm not guarding against people outside the house, I'm guarding against people eavesdropping outside the door." Murong Yanran said.

"What, there's someone watching me around?" And I was surprised.

"I haven't found out yet, but I can't say no, since the emperor has transferred you to a real position, things have become more complicated, it's better to be careful." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, he laughed secretly in his heart, he himself is a conspiracy theorist, and everyone thinks badly about everything, but he didn't expect Murong Yanran to be even more paranoid than him, at least he could add a crazy word.

Several people entered the inner house, and at the gate between the inner house and the outer house, there were already two brocade guards standing guard.

"Greetings to your lordship."

"No need to be polite, you do your job." Besides, he waved his hand and went in.

He didn't say that there was no need for them to stand guard, since there were so many people here, there was no need to use them in vain, if they were stopped from doing anything, it would attract suspicion.

"There should be no problem with the people in the house at the moment." After entering the inner house, Murong Yanran suddenly said this.

"Who?" Besides, I didn't react at once.

"It's the escort sent to you by the emperor." Murong Yanran said indifferently.

"How do seniors know they're okay?" Besides, I wondered.

"If they have a problem, they will move, and then they will all become dead." Murong Yanran said coldly.

Moreover, he and Zhou Dingcheng glanced at each other, and they forced their faces to face hard. Xindao, could it be that when the two of them knocked Ji Chang No. 10 to the ground, they also took the opportunity to find out their hearts? Otherwise, how can we ensure that there are no dissidents in it?

"Seniors know how to read minds, huh?" Besides, I couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's not hard to find out which side a person's heart is on." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, if you don't ask anymore, your brain will cramp if you ask again.

"The details of these people will soon be clear, and Childe can use them boldly for the time being, these small fish and shrimp can't make big waves." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, he nodded and asked no more.

He suddenly understood what Murong Yanran meant, and he was sure that there were no spies from the Ancestor Protector Sect among these people. Since they were sent by the emperor, of course they are all from the emperor, but they will still obey the orders of the emperor, unless the emperor has another explanation.

"Master is back." Hearing Murong Yanran's voice, the little girl and Xiao Nier greeted each other.

"I'm back." Murong Yanran said.

"Master, have you eaten, we're done." The little girl grinned.

"What have you eaten?" Besides, he leaned forward and asked.

"You have to take care of it." The little girl gave him a big roll of the eyes.

Besides, she made a grimace at Xiao Nier and smiled, it seems that Xiao Nier's achievements in doing work for the little girl are really bad, and the little girl still disdains him.

Coming to a wing room in the middle of the inner house, Murong Yanran sat down at this time, obviously thinking that this place was safe enough to avoid the eyes and ears that might exist outside.

"Did the seniors eat? Do you want me to let them arrange it? Besides, he asked.

"No, it's okay if I don't eat for a day, and I don't have the heart to eat. What I'm going to tell you is top secret, and you must not leave this house, not even Mrs. Zun. Murong Yanran said with a straight face.

"Okay." Besides, there is no psychological pressure, he hasn't told Xiao Nier too much, and no one believes some things even if he says them.

"During the Zhengde period, we had the best opportunity, and that was when King Ning rebelled." Murong Yanran stroked the empty teacup on the table and thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"What is the best chance? Does King Ning's rebellion have anything to do with us? Besides, he asked.

"If it weren't for us, King Ning wouldn't dare to rebel at all, just with his three guards' personal soldiers, he wouldn't even be able to defeat the Zhongshan Palace, and he still wanted to fight against the imperial court? It can also be said that we are the biggest driving force for King Ning's rebellion. Murong Yanran smiled bitterly.

It is recorded in this history that King Ning bribed the eunuch Liu Jin and Jinyi Wei to command Qian Neng, so that he was able to restore the prince's three guards to protect the army, and the start also relied on the strength of these three guards. Murong Yanran's words make sense, relying on the men and horses of the three guards to rebel is indeed a very unreliable behavior.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was based on the guard, and the strength of a guard was about 5,500 people, that is, the strength of a brigade, and the three guards wanted to rebel with 15,600 people, which was too confident and too self-sufficient. If the imperial court really wants to use soldiers, it can gather a million troops, and there are seventy or eighty thousand people in the imperial forest army and the Beijing army in the capital alone, not to mention the elite and fierce border troops in various places.

However, after King Ning raised his army, he occupied several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River in a few days like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and for a time the people in the court were panicked, and they all thought that the scene of Chengzu's "Jingjing" was repeated again.

This history is also a top secret in the Qinwang faction, and Murong Yanran can know this because she is an important figure in the Jiangnan organization of the Qinwang faction, but this is also a stain in the history of the Qinwang faction, so few people mention it.

"After King Ning raised his army, he quickly swept through several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and these areas have always been controlled by our Qinwang faction." Murong Yanran continued.

"We also take control of some cities?" Besides, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Childe, there are many things you don't know, you don't know how much strength we have, let's put it this way, as long as you make up your mind, with our Qinwang faction, you can also take Jiangnan now." Murong Yanran said proudly.

Besides, he was shocked and speechless, he could take Jiangnan, which was half of the rivers and mountains, and it was the richest area. Most of the annual income of the imperial court comes from Jiangnan...... Grain, salt, silk and porcelain.

"This ......" Zhou Dingcheng, who was standing by the door and was in charge of guarding, was also shocked and numb.

He is a member of the Qinwang faction, but he doesn't know anything about the history of the Qinwang faction, and he doesn't know the family background of the Qinwang faction at all.

At that time, the imperial court had already panicked, and was ready to lose the entire Jiangnan, and the city of Nanjing was under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Although the ground shook and the mountains shook, the Zhongshan Royal Mansion did not send a single soldier and was on full alert, because the royal palace knew that it could not resist the joint attack of us and King Ning, and was already determined to hold on to Nanjing and wait for reinforcements. ”

Besides, he listened to the blood boiling, he didn't expect that the Qinwang faction still had such a great energy.

Ming Wuzong was young, and he was instigated by Liu Jin and others, and did too many ridiculous things, such as because his surname is Zhu, he is not allowed to kill pigs in the world, and he led a force to fight hundreds of battles with the Mongols outside the Saiwai when he has nothing to do. As for the construction of the leopard house, it is extravagant, of course, there are things, but there is no lack of literati who exaggerate it.

However, at that time, the government was abolished, the ugly dynasty was boiling, and the people's grievances were boiling, these were true, especially when he returned the pro-soldier system of King Ning's three guards, didn't he know that the princes of the Zhu family were all bean sprouts, and a little sunshine was brilliant? After King Ning got the personal soldiers of these three guards, he made a "revolt".

What he saw in the historical materials were all superficial articles, and today he learned that there was a dark inside story inside, and the Qinwang faction was actually King Ning's biggest backer.

"Later." Besides, knowing that King Ning still failed in the end, he sighed and asked.

"Originally, this plan was very good, and we were sure to help King Ning seize the country, and we signed a series of agreements with King Ning, the most important of which was that after he ascended the throne, he completely abolished the crimes pronounced by Emperor Yongle on the ministers of Jianwen. We don't have to lurk underground anymore, we can surface openly and do all kinds of things. ”

"Do all sorts of things? What's up? Besides, he asked.

"I don't know the specific content of the agreement, these are from my master, after all, it was fifty years ago, and I'm not that old." Murong Yanran said with a smile.

Besides, he was happy and said: "Of course you are not old, if I had a sister, I would definitely be like you." ”

Murong Yanran smiled, if others dared to say this, the next moment would be the head of the person, but besides, she felt that it was very useful.

"Childe said with a smile, if Lingtang is still alive, he can be commensurate with my sister." Murong Yanran said.

Besides, he no longer had the impression of his mother in his memory, and he was very puzzled by this, because his memory should have been preserved at that time, and the memories of children who were only four years old may slowly disappear as they grow up, and he should have been at least five or six years old when his mother died.

However, there was a large piece of his memory that was forbidden and sealed, and he could feel the memory, but he couldn't open it, like a sealed box.

"What happened?" Besides, he collected his gloomy mood and continued to ask.

"Then the project was abruptly halted." Murong Yanran said.

"Stopped, by whom?" And I was surprised.

"I don't know about that, but the person who can stop this plan is, of course, the one with the highest power."

"But wasn't that the man who planned it? At least he approved it. Could it be that he repented? "Besides, I don't understand.

"Childe still remember our pursuit of the Zheng family at that time, right?" Murong Yanran turned her head around, and suddenly talked about this.

"Of course I do." And I'll never forget those days.

"I was ordered to kill all the brothers of the Zheng family at that time, and this order was conveyed by him." Murong Yanran pointed to Zhou Dingcheng, who was sitting at the door.

"Indeed, it's my words." Besides, it was prudent not to use the sensitive word command.

Then, too, it was abruptly stopped. These two things, though disproportionately in size, are the same in meaning. Murong Yanran said with deep meaning.
