If there is something unpredictable in this world, it is probably the human heart. Zhu Hongsanman thought that he had reached an agreement with the cabinet, but Tong Yangjia, who did not expect to get the greatest benefit from this meeting, was not satisfied.

Tong Yangjia was in charge of the military, and originally according to the emperor's intentions, this Burmese annihilation war must be a big fanfare, so that the power in Tong Yangjia's hands will rise. But who would have thought that in the end, Feng Ziyong would pop up, although he finally agreed to use troops against Burma, but the scale was very different from what was discussed at the beginning.

Tong Yangjia was dissatisfied, but he was the only one in the cabinet, and the opposition was really not enough, so Tong Yangjia had been thinking about what to do after the meeting.

It was already evening when the emperor summoned them to the palace, and when they came out, it was completely dark. Standing at the gate of the palace, Tong Yangjia looked at the palace lanterns on the high imperial city, and thought in his heart that it seemed that he was alone in the cabinet, and he should also find some helpers. Tong Yangjia thought for a while and said to the family who was following him: "After a while, you go to the Qian command family, and say that the old man invited him to come over to the house to discuss important matters!" In fact, Qian Lide is behind him, but for fear of letting people catch the handle, it is better to keep a low profile.

After Tong Yangjia returned home, he came to his study and asked his family to prepare wine and food, and after a while, Qian Lide, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came.

Qian Lide bowed down after entering the house and said, "Father-in-law, I don't know what to do when you call your son-in-law so late?" "Qian Lide's wife is a mother and daughter, after Zhu Hongsan in Henan destroyed Dong Jiawu Fort, he gave the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the Dong family to Qian Lide, and the concubine of the Dong family gave Tong Yangjia, so Qian Lide is Tong Yangjia's hairy son-in-law.

Tong Yangjia nodded and said, "You didn't eat anything when you left the palace so late!" It just so happened that your mother-in-law made a few side dishes today, and asked you to come over for a drink and talk! ”

Qian Lide heard Tong Yangjia say this, and hurriedly served Tong Yangjia to sit down, and then poured good wine for the old man around the corner, poured a glass himself, and then said: "Son-in-law wishes old Taishan good health!" After saying that, he drank it all.

Qian Lide said with a smile after drinking: "Father-in-law, I won't really come to my son-in-law today to drink a bar!" ”

Tong Yangjia put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "You're right, it's really something to find you today!" You saw it all in the palace just now! Ma Mingyuan really deceived people too much, even His Majesty the Emperor deceived him, is it really that the treasury has no money? It's just that he Ma Mingyuan doesn't want the old man's strength to expand! ”

Although Qian Lide is attached to Tong Yangjia, it does not mean that Qian Lide does not understand politics at all. Even if Qian Lide has a bad background and has never studied, he has already experienced and practiced fraud for more than 20 years. Qian Lide is Jinyiwei, what does Jinyiwei rely on? Not learning and fame, but relying on the emperor's favor. So although Qian Lide understood Tong Yangjia's words, he didn't say a word, he didn't want to get involved in the party struggle between Tong Yangjia and Ma Mingyuan.

Tong Yangjia saw that Qian Lide only ate and didn't speak, and scolded in his heart: You guy is very treacherous, but the old man has a way!

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you think the old man is unlucky and Ma Mingyuan can let you go? Not to mention the relationship between you and the old man, the incident of the prince back then was enough for you! Tong Yangjia saw that Qian Lide was not tricked, and he didn't play those hypocrisy, so he directly pointed out your Qian Lide's shortcomings.

Qian Lide regretted this in his heart when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, regretted that he was coerced by Tong Yangjia back then, and was forced to send his subordinates to Nanchang to engage in the prince, and now the handle falls on Tong Yangjia's hands, and he can't do anything if he is not convinced!

Qian Lide sighed and said, "What is the use of your father-in-law, please speak to your son-in-law!" ”

Tong Yangjia was satisfied when he heard Qian Lide say this, the old man is like a god and can't subdue you, a waste? However, Tong Yangjia still has to beat Qian Lide, lest this guy have any wrong thoughts.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you know that the old man is all for you! Do you see that the commanders of the past generations have ended well? Ma Mingyuan: Do you think it's really good for you? If it's really good, why did Zhao Mengguan Bao be promoted to the position of Tongzhi? "In fact, Zhao Mengguan was promoted by the prince, but it was inconvenient for the prince to come forward to protect a brocade guard, so Ma Mingyuan and his party came out to protect him, but it is true that Zhao Mengguan and Ma Mingyuan have a close relationship.

Qian Lide sighed in his heart when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, he was also afraid of being abandoned by the emperor in the future, so he wanted to choose one of the princes as a backer. At that time, the position of the crown prince was in jeopardy, but who would have thought that now the position of the crown prince is as stable as a mountain, the emperor trusts the prince more and more, and the other princes seem to have no hope of competing for the throne. But now that he has gotten on the ship of Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, it is not easy to get off the boat again.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has already told Lu Daqi about his lawlessness just now, but how could he have thought that Lu Daqi was very slippery, and the matter was done without leakage, and the son-in-law couldn't help it!" Qian Lide thought that Tong Yangjia was dissatisfied with not doing his best when he said these words today, so he explained.

Tong Yangjia listened to Qian Lide's whining and laughed: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man is not so careful!" Besides, Lu Daqi's Qu Shiyun is just a problem of elbows and armpits, they are nothing! The old man's real confidant is Ma Mingyuan! ”

"Nonsense, of course I know! But you can't kill Ma Mingyuan! Qian Lide thought to himself.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you saw it today, except for Qu Shiyun and Li Zhi in the court, the other people are Ma Mingyuan's party, and the old man is really lonely!"

"Father-in-law, this son-in-law has no choice, and the cabinet candidate son-in-law can't speak!"

Tong Yangjia stood up and picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Qian Lide, and then said: "What the old man asked you to do is not the affairs of the cabinet, but to send someone to Kunming to kill Zhu Youlang!" ”

Qian Lide heard Tong Yangjia say this, so he was scared to death, just now Qian Lide heard the emperor say in the court, this Zhu Youlang must live, because many things need a living Zhu Youlang, at least Fujian needs Zhu Youlang to be a good example for Zheng Chenggong! But Tong Yangjia asked himself to kill Zhu Youlang, isn't this a clear protest? Resisting the decree is a big sin for the whole family to lose their heads, and Qian Lide's head shook like a rattle when he heard it.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law will never dare to do this! This is a protest against the decree, and the son-in-law still has a large family! Father-in-law, you can't watch your granddaughter die! ”

Tong Yangjia saw that Qian Lide was afraid of being like this, and snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, do you think that the old man can be safe if he loses power?" If you don't do this, the war in Fujian will be resolved peacefully, and how can the old man fight with Ma Mingyuan without the war? When the time comes, the old man is unlucky, and you won't be able to run! ”

With Zhu Hongsan's occupation of the whole country, the Zhu Hongsan group, which was mainly military, became mainly construction, and a large number of arsenals in Guangdong were all shut down and transferred, the iron ore output in Qiongzhou Prefecture was also reduced to 30% of the original, and the shipyards in Guangdong were cut by half, from the original five warships launched every year to one every year. The reason is very simple, Zhu Hongsan wants to concentrate all his national strength on economic construction, and at the same time, the existing warships are almost enough, and he is not weak at all against the Dutch in the South Seas, so why do you need so many warships for this? What was needed for the war in the north was cavalry and army, so the warships that cost money were stopped by Zhu Hongsan.

But in this way, the power in Tong Yangjia's hands has been greatly reduced, originally half of the country's national strength was in the hands of Tong Yangjia, and now Tong Yangjia has completely become an old soy sauce pavilion, and there is nothing to do in the court every day, plus Ma Mingyuan deliberately isolated Tong Yangjia, so Tong Yangjia has lived a very idle life in the past three years.

If you are replaced by an official who is not a fool, you can't ask for it, and you can't get a salary if you don't work! But Tong Yangjia is not such an inactive official, Tong Yangjia is also a good bureaucrat with ideals and no morals, he also wants to mix with the highest level of literati, and he also wants to sit in the center and take five to do six when the cabinet is in session. But if you don't work, you won't have political achievements, and if you don't have political achievements, you can still be a fart! You must know that Ma Mingyuan is much younger than Tong Yangjia, and in the cabinet, except for Qu Shiyun and Fu Wenlong, Tong Yangjia is older. According to this view, Tong Yangjia is very likely to be a soy sauce pavilion veteran in the cabinet until he retires, and then the emperor will give you a title of Zhengyipin to return to his hometown for retirement.

This is definitely not something that Tong Yangjia can tolerate, so Tong Yangjia wants to fight back and step down Ma Mingyuan, who was riding on his head. This first step is to start from the military, but now the northwest is in the defensive stage, and the Dzungar department in Moxi Mongolia on the opposite side is fighting in the east and west under the leadership of the monks, and there is no time to take care of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchurians in the Northeast were slaughtered, and the rest fled to the deep mountains and forests, and there were no major wars. Now the only ones who can fight are the southwest and Fujian, the southwest has just been denied by Feng Zi's bullshit idea, and now there is only Fujian left.

At the same time, the person in charge of Fujian's military affairs is Yuan Pengnian, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, this is Tong Yangjia's person, as long as he starts a fight with Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan, Yuan Pengnian will definitely expand the war, and when the time comes, Tong Yangjia will fan the flames in the central government, so won't the power return to his hands? If Fujian wins, Yuan Pengnian is already the governor, and he will definitely enter the cabinet at the first level of promotion, and Tong Yangjia will not be fighting alone at that time! Even if it is a failure, the defeated emperor will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and he will definitely expand the war, which is also what Tong Yangjia is willing to see, so no matter whether Fujian wins or loses, Tong Yangjia is the final winner.

Winning or losing has oil and water, but there is absolutely no peace, if Zheng Chenggong lays down his arms and is willing to be a peaceful prince, it will be over, so that Zhu Youlang must die. Only when Zhu Youlang died, Zheng Chenggong could die and be sad, and he didn't believe any of the conditions that the emperor gave him. Only when Zhu Youlang dies can Zheng Chenggong be honest and continue to fight against Emperor Shenwu.

Because of this, Tong Yangjia brought Qian Lide here today and forced him to do this for himself.

Qian Lide also had no choice, now he and Tong Yangjia are in the same boat, and they will be unlucky together, and in the end, Qian Lide has no choice but to agree to Tong Yangjia, and use the secret agents in his hands to achieve Tong Yangjia's goal.
