Chapter 869: Merit

Zhang Ming......

Chen Kaizhi gently put on the case, a waterway inspection...... It seems that the official is not big, but since it is the waterway inspection of Mengjin County, the responsibility is not small, to put it bluntly, it is responsible for the safety of the Yellow River waterway in the Mengjin section, which is very important.

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Zeng Guangxian, and then instructed him lightly: "Find a way, contact this Zhang Ming, you have to test more, and you must prevent this person from stealing and playing tricks." ”

Zeng Guangxian had already inquired about it, so he said to Chen Kaizhi: "This person can rest assured, because he is from Shandong, and his family is in Shandong." ”

Chen Kaizhi understood what Zeng Guangxian meant: "That being the case, how can the Yang family trust him." ”

"The crux of the problem is here, this Zhang Ming, was a prisoner, because he killed someone, so he fled outside, went to Guanzhong, got acquainted with the children of the Yang family, changed his name and surname, and was able to entrust the important task, but his details, others don't know, but Jinyiwei found out, the reason why he found out his bottom was also a coincidence, because his identity was a little weird, it was actually no relatives and no reason, at that time, I thought he was a dark chess arranged by the empress dowager, so he ordered someone to visit, and noticed that he was close to some merchants in Shandong, In the end, I learned that he had been secretly asking the merchant to bring something to Shandong, and finally checked it and found out about it. ”

This time the Yang rebellion, he was worried, knowing that it was impossible for the Yang family to take Da Chen, the best result was to divide Guanzhong, rely on Da Liang and even hope to make friends with the Hu people, and then take advantage of the geographical advantages of this Guanzhong to ensure his own safety, and once divided, he was completely separated from his family in Shandong. What's more, Jin Yiwei has already secretly contacted him, and he is afraid that Jin Yiwei will reveal his identity, and he is even more afraid that His Majesty will issue an order to kill his family in Shandong, so he is at our mercy. ”

Zeng Guangxian's analysis was the Tao, and he had already grasped all the weaknesses of this person, Chen Kaizhi listened to the words, and kept nodding his head: "Explore again, the waterway inspection of Mengjin County...... This...... It's a critical place. ”

When Chen Yishou heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, is it because you want to attack from the waterway?" ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled at Chen Yishou, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a few wisps of cunning.

"What does Aiqing think?"

"Never." Chen Yishou shook his head like a rattle, very opposed: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are talkative, Mengjin is in the upper reaches of the river, and we are downstream, the current river is not turbulent, but to Mengjin, you need to paddle, and the speed of the boat is not fast, and you can't take a ship with a heavier draft, at most, it's just a canopy boat, if there are many people, it is very easy to be found...... This...... It's very inappropriate, if it is the army of Guanzhong, it is convenient to raid downstream, but we have to go upstream, Your Majesty, we have no chance of winning. ”

"Is a few hundred enough?"

Chen Kaizhi asked.

Chen Yishou was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, as if he had heard it wrong, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he said, "Count...... Hundreds of people ......"

Chen Kaizhi glanced at Chen Yishou, then nodded lightly, turned his face calmly, and said coldly: "Things up to now, if you make a big move, the army moves the people, not only protracted, but also need to pour out the country, once the war is unfavorable for a long time, it is bound to lose the morale of the army and the people, and now, the only way to do this is to find another way, now the army in Guanzhong, all Chen is in Hangu Pass, but Chang'an is empty, if there is a strange army, from Mengjin landing, Mengjin is only dozens of miles away from Chang'an, if someone is covering, overnight, you can reach Chang'an, At this time, if you can directly attack Chang'an, not only within a month, you can have miraculous feats, but also enough to deter the world, the soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong, are my Dachen people, but they are coerced by the Yang family to rebel and stand on their own, at this time, if they can defeat Chang'an in one fell swoop, the rebels in Hangu Pass will definitely collapse without a fight and collapse. ”

Chen Yishou couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, this is too risky, but ......" He was tempted, although this step is risky, it is just ...... The benefits are enormous.

Chen Yishou pondered for a while before slowly asking, "Who does Your Majesty plan to send?" ”

Chen Kaizhi knew that Chen Yishou had concerns, so he didn't explain it directly, but smiled at him: "I have my own arrangements." However, before that, the imperial court needs to set up a suspicious formation, to make an appearance, issue an order, and send envoys from various countries, especially the envoys of Xiliang, I must express my attitude with the Xiliang people, and then issue an order, order the military department to prepare a recital to quell the rebellion, and let the rebels know that the imperial court has decided to send troops to suppress it, and will levy soldiers and horses from various states to attack Guguan. ”

Chen Yishou cheered up, seemed to think it was feasible, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Yes, this can be prepared with both hands, and it can be used to hide people's eyes and ears, it is unthinkable, Your Majesty has sent a team of soldiers and horses to launch a surprise attack, Your Majesty is Shengming." ”

Only Mr. Yan looked worried, but he didn't say anything, and waited for Chen Yishou to leave.

When everyone was almost gone, Mr. Yan sighed, frowned at Chen Kaizhi and said, "Your Majesty, this move is too risky. ”

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "I have even persuaded Chen Qing's family, why should Mr. Yan ......?"

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "That's because Duke Chen doesn't know His Majesty's nature...... Temper...... Chen Gongding thought that you would send a capable general to go, but the minister knew that such an important action must be sent by the elite of the elite, with His Majesty's temperament, he would definitely do it himself, and what the old man was worried about was so, His Majesty is now in the community, and he is the monarch of the subjects of the world, how can he take the risk easily? ”

After getting along with Mr. Yan for a long time, his mind seems to have been clearly seen by Mr. Yan, and he has long understood what he thinks, so he is very worried.

Chen Kaizhi only smiled slightly, and comforted Mr. Yan: "It is precisely because of the social responsibility that this battle is very important, if you can't cut the mess immediately, I am afraid of arousing the suspicion of the subjects of the world, I want to make people surrender, do I only rely on the blood of the first emperor?" What's more, when I first ascended to the great treasure, the soldiers and civilians were already miserable because of the chaos in the temple, and it was absolutely impossible to use troops on a large scale. ”

"Da Chen these five hundred years, most of the Son of Heaven live in the temple, this is not necessarily a good thing, to put it bluntly, but they are all lying on the merit book of Emperor Taizu Gao, now Da Chen is waiting to be lifted, it is an extraordinary time, want to next, carry out reform and change to become strong, it is inevitable to touch the interests of many people, in addition to the use of Huairou means, it is indispensable, need to have a high enough prestige, I have been destined to be the king of the king, it should be Emperor Taizu Gao, the person who has made great achievements for eternity, In order to lay down the pattern of the next 500 years of the Great Chen, it is necessary to have enough prestige, and if some people refuse to surrender, then appease, if it is useless, then beat, break their bones, and personally extinguish their illusions, why not? ”

His eyes were shining, he glanced at Mr. Yan, and then paused word by word.

"I want to let the people of the world know that I am invincible, and I can teach them to die without a place to be buried, this time, I have to go out in person, Emperor Taizu Gao has won the world since he was on the horse, and I need to rely on the horse to rule the world today, and I would rather be strong in the killing than keep the pleasure."

His eyes drooped slightly, as if he thought of the past, so he sighed before he said slowly.

"I was born in a slightly cold, from Qianmo, I have seen a lot of people's suffering, and now, the great Chen disaster is everywhere, there are countless displaced people, the land is wantonly annexed, half of the people in the world, relying on farming, can not get enough cold clothing, not enough food to eat, if I was born in a rich family, I can't see that there are still such shocking things in the world, extravagant talk about reform to become strong, change to make new, change and enrich the people, this is rhetoric. But just now, I have too many empathies, and I know how difficult the people's livelihood is, and Dachen has also suffered from many ills, and countries have divided their territories, which will not change, and it will not work. If you want to change, you must establish absolute prestige, and this battle must be me. ”

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly: "The old minister doesn't dare to persuade him, in fact, he ......" He coughed twice, and said helplessly: "In fact, the old minister knew that His Majesty could not be persuaded, and there must be a big reason, Your Majesty is ambitious, and he should be different." ”

Chen Kaizhi originally thought that Mr. Yan would beg bitterly, but who expected that Mr. Yan was still 'enlightened', maybe he knew himself too well, and the things he decided could never be changed, so he didn't persuade himself, because it was useless to say more.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile: "There is one thing, I think about it, does Mr. remember the father of the Empress Dowager?" ”

Mr. Yan bowed his head and said to Chen Kaizhi: "Remember, this person is really weird, I don't know if he has died." ”

Chen Kaizhi said: "Yes, the empress dowager claims that she is just a pawn at the mercy of others, but where is her father?" I originally thought that now that the Empress Dowager has been eliminated, and all conspiracies and tricks are in broad daylight, this old thief Yang will inevitably return to Guanzhong and live and die with the Yang family, but who would have expected that judging from the reports of Jinyiwei and Mingjing, there is no one of the same age and status as Old Lady Yang in Chang'an, which shows that this person is either really dead, or he is still hiding somewhere, and even, in a grand manner, it is a certain person, but this person ...... Who is it, what is he wanting, he has planned so many conspiracies and schemes? A person would never do such a far-reaching conspiracy for no reason, this person is really terrifying. ”
