The sudden appearance of Yongwang Zhu Cihuan added a lot of variables to the political situation in Nanming.

The king takes the world as his home, after the death of Emperor Chongzhen, his family business has no direct heir, under various coincidences, distant relative Tang King Zhu Yujian successfully ascended the throne, and by the way, he also squeezed out the first heir Guiwang Zhu Youlang, but I didn't expect that a few years later, Emperor Chongzhen's own son Zhu Cihuan suddenly appeared, and the legitimacy of Zhu Yujian's inheritance of this family business was seriously challenged.

If Zhu Yujian has a strong ability to control this family business, he is not afraid of Zhu Cihuan, a poor boy with no foundation, but now in the war years, under the strong pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there are many factions within the Longwu regime, there are many contradictions, large and small warlords divide one side, Emperor Longwu's decree is not out of the two, Zhu Cihuan has fallen into the hands of Sun Kewang, who is the most independent, and the development of the situation has gotten out of control.

In fact, after Emperor Longwu learned the conclusive news, he immediately sent people to Yunnan to negotiate with Sun Kewang, demanding that he immediately hand over Zhu Cihuan, but Sun Kewang pushed 625 and resolutely refused to admit that Zhu Cihuan was in his hands, and ignored all the favorable conditions offered by Emperor Longwu's court, and the negotiations reached a deadlock.

Seeing that things couldn't get better, Emperor Longwu had no choice but to turn around and seek Wang Kefan's support.

Wang Kefan asked about Zhu Cihuan's origin, and the messenger sent by Fu Guan didn't know it, and now the gossip in the court is flying all over the sky, and all kinds of unbelievable stories of dog blood sound vivid, and I don't know which one is true and which one is false. The only thing that can be determined is that there are also contradictions within the Western Army because of this matter, and most middle and senior generals such as Feng Shuangli, Bai Wenxuan and others support Sun Kewang. Trying to control Zhu Cihuan to seek the greatest interests for the Western Army, Li Dingguo and a few others resolutely opposed it. Liu Wenxiu is in the middle and the mud. (Feng Shuangli and Bai Wenxuan are both governors under Zhang Xianzhong, one level lower than Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi.) But he was also an important general in the Western Army. ）

"It is said that the three kings of the Western Army have fallen out, and the two families of the King of Wing and the King of Xining almost met with swords, and they all relied on the mediation of the King of Funan to temporarily stop the army.

The three kings of the Western Army are Sun Kewang, the king of wings, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, and Liu Wenxiu, the king of Funan. The messenger paused. Then he conveyed Fu Guan's explanation: "Before Xiao Ke came, the general constitution repeatedly told me that there was a sentence for me to bring to the military gate, and when the imperial court was helpless, it would inevitably turn to the military gate, and the military gate should follow the trend and not forget the overall situation." ”

"Okay, I got it." Wang Kefan smiled slightly, Fu Guan likes to talk around the bend. You need to think about it to understand what he means - you must take advantage of it, but don't go too far, don't force Emperor Longwu to the point of breaking the net.

Very pragmatic building yì.

At the level of Fu Guan, he has long surpassed the foolish loyalty of ordinary civil officials and doctors to his father. There may be many philosophical differences between him and Wang Kefan, but when it comes to specific things, especially those very important events. He will first consider the interests of the Chu army and the Chu Xun group.

Yunnan is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and Sun Kewang will use Zhu Cihuan to do whatever he does. It is impossible for Wang Kefan to intervene directly. If the Chu army had launched an expedition with all its might, it might have been able to defeat the Western army. But it didn't do much good to himself, the only thing Wang Kefan could do was to support Emperor Longwu spiritually and help him stabilize the Longwu regime, as long as his position was not chaotic, Sun Kewang would have no chance to take advantage of it.

Yunnan is too far away, and the Chu army is beyond the reach of the whip, but if other forces want to be wall grass, or want to fish in troubled waters, the Chu army can destroy them with a raised hand, and deter Guizhou, Sichuan, Liangguang and Jiangxi from Huguang, plus the three provinces south of the Yangtze River that have just been recovered, if these places resolutely support Emperor Longwu, Sun Kewang will only rely on a corner of the land to confront the Longwu court, and he will have to weigh it...... In addition, it is also necessary to increase pressure on the Lu Wang regime to formally complete the unification between Tang and Lu in order to deal with the crisis that may break out at any time.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Kefan took Li Runniang to visit Zhu Yijiang and Zhang Huangyan.

The plan always can't catch up with the changes, he didn't want to push the Lu Wang regime too hard, but as soon as Zhu Cihuan came out, Nan Ming saw that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was about to be staged, so he had to change from a dove to a hawk...... The most taboo thing in negotiations is to rush to success, but fortunately, he has just got a big card and has a reason to persuade Zhang Huangyan.

"Tan Tai abandoned the city and fled, I didn't expect in advance, now that the Chu army has recovered Nanjing, His Royal Highness King Lu has to try his best to get an idea. Cangshui should know that I have great respect for His Royal Highness King Lu, and I also hope that the tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of Lu Fan can be properly arranged and can fight side by side with the Chu army in the future, but at the moment, the shape is pressing, if the civil and military forces of the Lu Fan have been holding on to the idea of luck, when Guilin is still the capital of Nanjing, I will not be able to protect the Lu Domain......"

The Chu army's rapid recovery of Nanjing was a big card in Wang Kefan's hand, and the Lu regime had no room to delay and wait and see.

"The relationship between abdication and return to the vassal is heavy, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, so please forgive Yuntai." Zhang Huangyan had a headache, if Emperor Longwu returned to Nanjing and sat on the throne of the emperor where Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once sit, it would be the righteous Ming Dynasty, and the hearts of the army and the people would inevitably fall to the Tang Dynasty, and the Lu Dynasty could only be forced to submit.

"I know the difficulties of Cangshui, so let's do it, His Royal Highness King Lu does not need to remove the title of the superintendent for the time being, first change the year name, as long as the Longwu era name is adopted, the cabinet, the six departments, the science and technology, and the positions of local civil and military officials are as usual." Wang Kefan turned his head to Zhu Yijiang and said with a smile: "When King Lu will remove the title of prison country, it will be directly discussed by His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Lu's uncle and nephew, and I don't care." His Majesty has always been generous, and he will definitely give Lu Fan a satisfactory explanation......"

Before the Zhu Cihuan incident detonated, if the Lu Fan problem was resolved in time, Emperor Longwu would have a twenty percent chance of winning, so he would make certain concessions and compensation to Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu. These things could not be completely handled by Wang Kefan, who forced the Lu regime to change the era name and do his best to facilitate negotiations, which was also a kind of protection for the Lu domain.

For the time being, only the era name was changed, and Zhu Yijiang and Zhang Huangyan were relieved, which showed Lu Fan's sincerity and left the capital to continue the negotiations. Already the best results.

"But with the PTZ in charge, I will leave for Ningbo today. Report the matter to Brother Wang, and give Yuntai an answer......" Zhu Yijiang said as he spoke. While looking at Li Runniang sitting next to Wang Kefan, although Daming regarded sleeping flowers and willows as a romantic affair, no one would take his concubine to visit guests everywhere, Wang Kefan was really a maverick, very different from others.

The symbolic significance of changing the era name is greater than the practical significance, and the use of the Longwu era name is equivalent to admitting that Emperor Longwu is the Ming Dynasty, and it is a matter of time before he abdicates and returns to the domain, and there will definitely be great resistance within the Lu Wang regime. How to operate it specifically is a matter for Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Mingzhen, and Wang Kefan put forward several suggestions from the perspective of a bystander, which shows a resolute attitude, and sincerely thinks about the interests of Lu Fan, and clears all kinds of obstacles as much as possible.

After leaving the Yin Hotel, Wang Kefan hesitated for a moment, wanting Guo Weijing to go there, but in the end he returned directly to his residence.

Now that you already know the hole cards of Emperor Longwu. Now don't worry, help solve the big trouble of King Lu's regime, he has shown enough sincerity, there is no need to rush over to the showdown...... The five battalions of Wang Sheng and Teng Shuanglin were in Zhejiang. The army is forced to Ningbo, and it is a big deal to fight with the hard-line warlords under King Lu, under both soft and hard. It will definitely be able to force King Lu's regime to change to the Longwu era name as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter what happens in the future.

A palm-sized piece of land in eastern Zhejiang. King Lu's regime is willing to continue to hold on, and it will not affect the overall situation. Until the last resort, Wang Kefan will not start a war with Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, but he can use all kinds of other economic and political means to force the Lu Wang regime to continue to make concessions, and the benefits he deserves will not be less at all.

Wang Kefan is not in a hurry, Guo Weijing is in a hurry.

Although he talked with Wang Kefan for an hour last time, he spent most of his time going back and forth in circles, repeatedly trying to leak a little, and finally did not reach an agreement, so he visited Wang Kefan again that night to start a new round of secret negotiations...... Wang Kefan played a few words, Guo Weijing knew that Wang Kefan already knew the dilemma of the Longwu Imperial Court, so hurry up, since you have heard some rumors, hurry up and make a statement.

Wang Kefan really expressed his position, resolutely supported Emperor Longwu, and at the same time proposed two constructions.

The first is that the Metropolitan Governor's Office can be postponed, but it must enter the preparatory stage, and during this transition period, in order to improve the status of the military department, the military department Shangshu has the right to secretly fold and play directly, bypassing the cabinet and directly responsible to the emperor. The secret folding system was made by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the purpose was to strengthen the imperial power and empty the cabinet...... Shangshu Wen'an of the Ministry of War is the backbone of the Chuxun group, and he can directly make decisions on military issues in the future, and report to Emperor Longwu to implement it, without going through the cabinet pass. This is a win-win compromise, Wang Kefan fell into the benefits, and also gave Emperor Longwu a step, it is difficult for people who don't know the inside story to understand the mystery.

The second is that after the establishment of the Northern Expedition Admiral, Zhejiang and Nanzhili did not have a strategy and a prime minister. In the original conditions of Emperor Longwu, after Wang Kefan served as the governor of the Northern Expedition, although he did not set up a governor of Jiangnan, he wanted to set up a Jiangnan economic strategy in Nanzhili, at least he was also a prime minister, which was somewhat balanced and restrained, but since Wang Kefan knew Emperor Longwu's hole cards, he didn't want to be pulled back.

(The Ming Dynasty's civil control of the military, mainly reflected in the civilian officials as the commander of the army, such as the governor, the strategy, the superintendent, etc., among which the superintendent hangs the title of the military department, so the gold content is the highest, like Shi Kefa is simply the cabinet scholar and the superintendent, the governor is a permanent official position at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it may be the military department of the book or the military department of the left waiter, but also the title of the imperial envoy of the Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, belongs to the highest level of feudal officials, and the power is also very large. Obviously one level smaller than the governor, the most famous of the Ming Dynasty is probably the Liaodong Jingluo, which was incorporated into the governor in the fourth year of Chongzhen, which also shows that the power of the Jingluo is less than that of the governor.

One thing must be pointed out that these differences are not certain, in fact, the power of the governor, the governor and the superintendent have great flexibility, sometimes large, sometimes small, the key depends on whether they can get the support of the emperor, the cabinet and the military department, for example, when Xiong Tingbi served as the governor of Liaodong, he was subject to the governor Wang Huazhen everywhere, and there was no place to find someone to reason...... As for the flexibility of the prime minister, the key also depends on what title he hangs, if he only hangs the title of the military department, he can only manage the military, if he only hangs the title of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he can only manage government affairs, the superintendent, the prime minister, the governor, the strategy and the governor, etc. are actually a verb in the Ming Dynasty, how much power there is depends on the adjectives in front, the nouns in the back, and the context to know how big an official he is, the prime minister's grain reserves and the prime minister's military affairs are completely two concepts. ）

After listening to Wang Kefan's two conditions, Guo Weijing had a feeling that he was directly killed at the bottom price.

There is no governor in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, only a strategy or prime minister, which is the last effort of the Longwu court to try to control these two provinces, if there is a Jiangnan strategy, it is roughly equivalent to setting up a deputy post for the governor of the Northern Expedition, although it is not enough to compete with Wang Kefan, but it is always better than nothing.

The military department has the right to play secretly, and it is a very fierce cold move, which looks inconspicuous but has a strong lethality, and it has opened a hole in the existing civil service system...... Yes, Wen'an, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is a civil official, he can directly bypass the cabinet and be responsible to the emperor, and he has not changed the practice of "the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together", but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that Wen'an belongs to Wang Kefan's sworn friend, what is the essential difference between this and the reopening of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

During this period of time, the discussion about the reopening of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was boiling, and it was nothing more than that Wu Xun wanted to sit on an equal footing with the civil officials and be directly responsible to the emperor.

"This guy is young, but he is so scheming, where did he get so many ghost ideas?" Guo Weijing secretly slandered himself, but a sincere and cordial smile appeared on his face, no matter what, Emperor Longwu now needs the support of the Wuxun Group the most, although the two conditions offered by Wang Kefan have reached the bottom price, they will not cause major turmoil, and it is acceptable to grit his teeth.

"Oh, I almost forgot about my country, there is one more thing to inform Mr. Liuxiu, I have reached an agreement with Zhu Yijiang and Zhang Huangyan, and Lu Fan will change to the era name of Longwu for six years within half a month."

Before Wang Kefan's words fell, Guo Weijing's body shook suddenly, and he stood up suddenly......

That night, Wang Kefan and Guo Weijing each wrote a memo, which was the same, and the content of the two memoranda had many similarities, such as the establishment of the Northern Expedition Governor, such as the transfer of Jin Shenghuan's subordinate to the south of the Yangtze River, and the use of Qian Qianyi, who had been in the Qing Dynasty, etc., which were sent to Guilin by fast horses.
