readx; The people who secretly discussed in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion late at night were all the most powerful ministers in Nanjing after the founding general. www.biquge.info In addition to Chang Yinxu, the descendant of Chang Yuchun, the Duke of Eguo, who had just been promoted to the Duke of Shunguo, Li Bangzhen, the Marquis of Linhuai, was after Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao, and Tang Guoxiang, the Marquis of Lingbi, was the descendant of Tang He, the Duke of Xinguo. Deng Wenming, the son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, is the Duke of Weiguo Deng Yu, and because the current Marquis of Dingyuan, Deng Shaoyu, is seriously ill, and now all foreign affairs are handed over to Deng Wenming.

And the two governors of the Governor's Office, Zhang Guoyan and Chen Wenli, are also descendants of the founding heroes and hold the position of hereditary governor. In the past, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang killed the founding heroes, and then there was the "Battle of Jingyan", and there were not many Xunchen families who could maintain hereditary lineage in Nanjing, and today they are basically all here.

"Our long-lived lord doesn't look at the milk smell, the method is so ruthless!" Chang Yinxu seemed to hold back for a long time, and he couldn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth, "I think that when Emperor Chengzu entered Nanjing, he didn't condemn you and my brother's ancestors." Our ancestors have always kept to themselves, only guarding the acre and three points of land in Nanjing, so they can reproduce for more than 200 years and create today's scale. But as soon as he ascended the throne, he ordered me to go to Beijing, you say, has one of the emperors of the past dynasties done this? ”

"Uncle Chang, it's just a trip to Jingshi, Long Live Lord may not leave you behind, right?" Deng Wenming still shook his head in disbelief and smiled, "My nephew wants to go, but he is not qualified to go." ”

"Then why did he take away my position as the garrison of Nanjing?" Chang Yinxu said angrily, "Even if the war is chaotic now, I am afraid that it will affect the defense, according to the rules, it should be temporarily replaced by one of the few of you, how can it be handed over to Wang Zaijin!" The Marquis of Dingyuan, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and the Marquis of Lingbi served as the garrison of Nanjing every ten years, and they have been like this for many years, and he said that he would change it! Look at it, even if my life is great, I will be able to meet Nanjing one day, and this Nanjing garrison will no longer be our turn to do it, just like he abolished the Nanjing garrison eunuchs! ”

The crowd fell silent. After a while, Hu Yingtai slowly spoke: "Nanjing is a small imperial court, guarding half of the south of the Yangtze River for the imperial court. For more than 200 years, the lords and generals in the army have been passed down from generation to generation, each performing their own duties, and there has never been a disorder, which shows that the routine is effective. But if the Holy Lord has to change his course now, the students may not only be useless in the defense of Nanjing and the current situation, but will also have a great impact on your family, land and livelihood! ”

"Master Hu's words are to the point!" Chang Yinxu clapped his hands and shouted, "You all know about Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, but you just want to accept a toast woman, how big is it?" was seized by our long-lived lord, and the more he investigated, the bigger the matter became, and finally ordered to be deposed, and the foundation of more than 200 years was uprooted! That's still the prince, the same clan as him, he is so ruthless! Can we compare with the King of Shu? The rabbit died and the dog cooked, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu didn't do it, I didn't expect such a descendant to actually... Alas! ”

Everyone was silent for a while, but there was sweat on their heads. These lords have been operating in Nanjing for more than 200 years, and their relationship with the local gentry, powerful and powerful people, and military households is intertwined. Previously, Zhu Youzhen thoroughly investigated the issue of the emperor's village and the vassal king's contributions, which had sounded the alarm for them. If the emperor really attacked Chang Yinxu and secretly descended to their interests, and if he investigated it carefully, their problem was bigger than that of the vassal king, so how could it be?

Linhuai Marquis Li Bangzhen finally couldn't help but ask, "In this case, what are you going to do?" The seal letter and the arrow have been handed over, what else can I do? ”

"It's handed over." Hu Yingtai sneered and said, "However, these seals and arrows have their owners, and they will only play a role in the hands of their masters. The others took it, but it was nothing more than a piece of stone and wood. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lingbi Hou Tang Guoxiang immediately asked, "I said Master Hu, don't play dumb riddles with us, we are in a hurry!" ”

"That's why I brought you all here." Chang Yinxu smiled hideously, "We don't talk darkly, in the eighteen guards of Nanjing, the five guards of the government army are all soldiers brought by my Chang family back then; The generals of the Jinwu Four Guards all listened to the Deng family; The three guards of Yulin are only the Li family's horses; Huben Zuowei, Jianghuai Wei, and Jichuan Wei are all subordinates of the Tang family. Although we nominally have no military power, why did the successive generations let several of us take turns to serve as the garrison of Nanjing? Isn't it because we can mobilize these guards? ”

"Uncle Chang, are you... Do you want to...? Deng Wenming shuddered and said.

"Nephew Deng Xian, I said that you are young, why are you so daring?" Chang Yinxu laughed and said, "Put your heart in your stomach, do you think I will provoke a few of you to rebel?" We are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can oppose us! ”

"What does the uncle mean..."Deng Wenming said hesitantly.

"Let's all greet the generals in the army and tell them not to obey Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli's dispatch!" Chang Yinxu said with a sneer, "Actually, we don't need to tell us, and no one wants to follow any Guan Ning Tie to go out to suppress thieves!" But don't disobey openly, a word, drag! We don't need to teach it by hand! ”

"Gao, Huaiyuan Hou, ah no, Shun Guogong's move is high!" Li Bangzhen and Tang Guoxiang suddenly realized, and said in unison, "As long as the official army of the guard is still in our hands, and he is not able to call the kings in Jin and Yuan Keli, and in the end he still has to come to us, so naturally he can't do anything to us." ”

"How could I come up with such a high idea, it's not Lord Hu's clever plan." Chang Yinxu smiled proudly, "If you want me to go to Jingshi, hum, drag him for three or five months first." In a few months, if the rebels are undecided, I still have an excuse not to leave; If the rebels are pacified, Long Live Lord will inevitably return to Beijing, let's take this time to quickly contact the old people in Beijing, go their own way, in short, we must keep everything we have in Nanjing! ”

"Yes, that's right!" Several lords nodded again and again, "Lord Hu, what about you?" Let's stay and deal with Wang Zaijin together, this old man is not easy to deal with! ”

Hu Yingtai shook his head and smiled: "The students are different from the princes, I am an official of the imperial court, and I must leave as soon as possible." However, the student union maintains close contact with Shun Guogong, and everyone will refer to it together if there is anything. The career of a student has to be taken care of by all the marquis, hahaha..."

After a short time, several people left the house and got into the sedan chair and disappeared into the night of Nanjing. As soon as the sedan curtain fell, Deng Wenming, the prince of Dingyuan, lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Quick, go back to the house quickly!" I have 100,000 urgent matters, and I have to tell the old man immediately! ”
