Chapter 1109 Jiangxi surrendered
Nanchang City is the capital of Jiangxi Province, and there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they can defend it if they want to defend it, but why do they defend it?
This time, it was obviously Wang Yan who set up a trap, waiting for King Tang to make a move, and with the forces controlled by Wang Yan, there was absolutely no problem in pacifying Jiangxi.
Wang Yan has long wanted to take action against Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian, bring the three provinces into the control of the imperial court, and realize the unification of the Ming Dynasty in the south, but there has been no excuse, what he is waiting for is the king of Tang and the king of Lu to jump out by themselves.
If the two kings of Tang and Lu had united when they first conquered Nanjing, they might have been able to fight with Wang Yan, but now four years have passed, the foundation of the Nanjing court has been consolidated, and the strength of the two kings has been continuously weakened, and they are no longer Wang Yan's opponents, so the two kings dare to do it when they see the opportunity to get rid of Wang Yan.
At present, Wang Yan must have mobilized troops and horses, ready to extinguish Tang Lu's rebellion, judging from the comparison of strength, Tang Lu's chances of winning are very slim, and they are stubborn in Nanchang, which is meaningless.
The people sitting here are all big officials, and they have finally reached the point where they are not stunned, they are just trying to be cool for a while, and they must consider the consequences when doing things. They will not do things that harm others and are not beneficial to themselves, and the people below them and their colleagues will not follow them.
Wang Yan looked at Wu Zunzhou, didn't let him get up immediately, just let him kneel like this, this guy wanted to ambush him, Wang Yan naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
Wu Zunzhou can be sure that even if he can be exempted from prosecution this time, his political life will come to an end.
Wu Zunzhou suddenly knelt down, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately changed, some officials who did not know and did not know that Tang Wang was going to a military coup d'état were immediately stunned, and those who knew were like a needle carpet, they lowered their heads, and peeked at Wang Yan with a ghost in their hearts, and saw Wang Yan squinting at them, several of them finally couldn't bear the pressure, and left their seats one after another, and bowed down behind Wu Zunzhou.
For such a thing as a coup d'état, it is still necessary to seek secrecy, so there are only ten officials who have fallen to the top.
Du Yinxi didn't expect that as soon as Wang Yan opened his mouth, Wu Zunzhou and others would come out to ask for guilt, but this can't be blamed on Wu Zunzhou, he participated in the ambush of Wang Yan throughout the whole process, if he didn't confess his guilt quickly, and if he had to resist stubbornly, he would be determined to destroy his family, and his pressure was too great.
Wang Yan was still very satisfied when he saw a few people confess, he squinted at Wu Zunzhou and said: "Lord Wu, this envoy, is still the one who is the lone king when he enters Jiangxi, so I will give you what I want!" ”
He was the envoy of the inspection because Wang Yan wanted to come, but that was because Wang Yan wanted to recruit Jin Shenghuan, if there was no Jin Shenghuan, Wu Zunzhou would definitely not be able to be the envoy, so Wu Zunzhou was grateful to Jin Shenghuan more, but Wang Yan mentioned this, Wang Yan did have a great favor to him.
"The lower official is guilty! The lower officials are willing to be punished by His Highness! Wu Zun's head almost stuck to the ground.
Seeing this, Du Yinxi on the side frowned, Wang Yan's hand disrupted his rhythm, he had decided to compromise with Wang Yan, but he wanted to talk to Wang Yan about the conditions, as soon as the Tang King fell, no one could restrict Wang Yan, he felt that the Tang King could fall, but the pro-Tang faction, that is, the original imperial party, could not disappear, someone must be able to restrict Wang Yan.
He wanted to talk to Wang Yan about the conditions, but now it has become Wang Yanxing's teacher to ask for guilt.
"Your Highness, take away the prestige! How do you want to deal with Jiangxi and His Royal Highness King Tang, let's get straight to the point! Seeing Wu Zun begging for mercy, Du Yinxi hurriedly interrupted his conversation with Wang Yan.
A group of officials in Jiangxi also reacted, they were not completely without bargaining chips, Wu Zunzhou and others directly pleaded guilty like this, and put them on the chopping board, fortunately, the plugging platform reacted in time.
Wang Yan wanted to completely solve the problem of Jiangxi this time, so as not to leave hidden dangers to the imperial court, he knew that Wu Zunzhou was already in a state of confusion when he saw him, so he stared at him with sharp eyes several times, broke his defense line, and asked him to beg for mercy, so that he could use a condescending attitude to deal with Jiangxi, but Du Yinxi saw through his intentions and pulled him to the negotiation.
"Haha..." Wang Yan laughed embarrassed again, demonstrating the embarrassment of being recognized by Block Yinxi, he laughed a few times before he suddenly stopped his voice, straightened his body, and said: "Since Blockage Futai said so, then King Gu said it directly!" ”
The officials present all pricked up their ears and looked to Wang Yan that this was related to their political future.
Wang Yan paused, he glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "King Tang and Jin Shenghuan want to murder King Lone, and Lone already has conclusive evidence!" If he can confess his guilt and hand over the military power, he will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to be a deputy governor, if he is obsessed, he will raid his house and destroy his clan! ”
Hearing about the raid of the family and the extermination of the clan, everyone felt the murderous aura emanating from Wang Yan's body, and their necks shrank one by one.
Wang Yan squinted his eyes and continued: "As for the Tang King, after all, he is the younger brother of Gaozong, if he can repent of his repentance, the Lone King can let the court deal with it lightly, and only take the position of the king of governance, demote him to an ordinary clan, and make him a vassal in Luzon." If the Tang King does not repent, depending on the situation, he will be killed, and he will be demoted to Tang Shu and placed under house arrest on the high wall of Fengyang! ”
Gu Yinxi glanced at Wang Yan, he didn't expect that Wang Yan's conditions were so superior, it can be said that as long as Tang Wang and Jin Shenghuan accept defeat, Wang Yan will leave them a way back.
After thinking about it for a while, he understood Wang Yan's intentions, Wang Yan didn't want to force the two of them to a dead end, and wanted to end this incident quickly, so as not to benefit the Manchu Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Du Yinxi's heart moved, and his disgust for Wang Yan couldn't help but be alleviated a little, although this person is getting worse and worse, but he still cares about the world.
Wu Zunzhou, who bowed to the ground, listened to Wang Yan's treatment of Tang Wang and Jin Shenghuan, and was also relieved in his heart, the court can be tolerant of Tang Wang and Jin Shenghuan, and they will naturally not be convicted of serious crimes, at least their lives are saved.
Wang Yan really wants to end the incident quickly, so the net is open, otherwise Jin Shenghuan's 30,000 people will not be mentioned, and Zheng Chenggong's water army alone will be enough for him to have a headache.
"His Royal Highness's handling of King Tang and Jindu Town is very proper!" Du Yinxi nodded, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How does Your Highness deal with Jiangxi?" Will the imperial court liquidate Jiangxi officialdom? ”
This is related to the interests of everyone present, if the imperial court wants to liquidate, the pro-Tang faction will inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and Du Yinxi does not want to see this.
Wang Yan has long had an idea about Jiangxi's handling, he is not as upright as before, and there must be liquidation, but there are many methods, such as when assessing the rating, and such as being transferred to Qingshui Yamen, the lower state capital, there are many means in the officialdom, and there is no need to liquidate immediately.
"The governor of Jiangxi, the political envoy, the envoy according to the inspection, and the imperial court must be directly appointed, and the promotion of officials will not be recommended by Jiangxi itself, but will be transferred by the imperial court, and the officials and taxes will be paid in accordance with the regulations of other provinces!"
Before, the appointment of Jiangxi officials was recommended by Jiangxi, and the imperial court could only choose from them, not send others, and the conditions proposed by Wang Yan now are equivalent to letting Jiangxi be led by the imperial court like Huguang and other provinces.
Jin Shenghuan handed over the military power, and the Jiangxi officials were appointed by the imperial court, which was equivalent to ending the state of Jiangxi secession.
Plug Yinxi bowed slightly, he has no opinion on these, Wang Yan's approach is still strengthening the centralization of power, which is in line with the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty, he can agree, but once he agrees, supporting the Tang faction is equivalent to handing over power, and now after all, it is the Chu Party court, and it is too easy for Wang Yan to rectify them.
If it was before, Du Yinxi might still be able to believe in Wang Yan's character, but now, he no longer trusts this traitor.
"I can agree to these conditions, but I still have two conditions!" Plug Yinxi straightened up and took the initiative to speak.
Wang Yan scared Wu Zunzhou because he didn't want Jiangxi to put forward conditions to him, and now that he wanted to mention two things, his face suddenly sank, but at this time he couldn't refuse.
Wang Yan was also a little surprised that Plug Yinxi took the initiative to put forward the conditions, so he asked: "What are the requirements of Plug Futai, listen to it alone!" ”
In the face of a power traitor like Wang Yan, he can only suffer if he doesn't say anything, and he has learned a little bit now, "First, since the imperial court wants to directly appoint the three directors of Jiangxi, the official has gone to the post of governor of Jiangxi, and he must enter the cabinet and serve as a cabinet scholar!" Second, I am not young today, and I want to tutor the Son of Heaven to read! ”
Plug Yinxi wants to enter the cabinet, and he also wants the teacher of the Son of Heaven, Wang Yan immediately frowned, now the cabinet originally had some restrictions on him, and let such a capable person as Plug Yinxi enter the cabinet, wouldn't there be more restrictions on him, and the Son of Heaven, Wang Yan doesn't want Plug Yinxi to train a strong emperor for him.
Seeing that Wang Yan didn't reply, Du Yinxi couldn't help but glance at this power traitor, looked him up and down with disgust, and mocked: "Didn't His Highness say that I should supervise and supervise?" Why do you regret it now? ”
When Wang Yan heard this, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and his mouth felt like he had eaten a piece of.
