Starting from the bottom, disintegrating the clan, and then concentrating on dealing with the thirty or so vassal kings, this is the policy that Tang Yi has long determined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He didn't take the vassal king in his eyes, could a bunch of captive fat pigs still turn against the sky?

The only thing that Tang Yi is worried about is public opinion, as well as Longqing's mentality, so he has been putting on a soft posture, until Longqing and Baiguan can't stand it anymore, Tang Yi takes a step forward.

It's just that he didn't expect that decades of Chengping would make the vassal kings arrogant, and the king of Yi, Zhu Dianao, rebelled, and Zhu Xian, the king of Liao? They also rebelled.

Then there was news that Zhu Tingqi, the acting king of Datong, raised troops and took advantage of the situation to capture the city.

Suddenly rebelled against the two major feudal kings, and their position is much more important than the king of Yi, Datong is one of the nine important towns, although I was killed, the defense line moved north, but Datong town is still very important, Tang Yi immediately ordered, asked the governor of the three sides Wang Chonggu, Xuanda Governor Li Tianzhong immediately transferred troops to recover Datong.

There are many famous generals on the nine sides, and there are countless capable ministers, and it is not a problem to deal with the acting king.

However, the Liao King of Jingzhou is a little troublesome, Jingzhou guards the Yangtze River and the Han River, the heart of the Central Plains, and the land and water hub. The Liao king was in turmoil, and once he occupied Jingzhou and cut off shipping, he would immediately be in chaos.

In recent years, due to the limited land in Susong, most of the cotton planting has moved to the Jianghan Plain, Jingzhou has lost, and the cotton cannot be transported to the southeast.

However, in the Huguang area, there are no strong troops stationed there.

Who should I send?

Tang Yi pondered for a while, by the way, Jingzhou, also known as Jiangling, is Zhang Juzheng's hometown, and now Zhang Juzheng is still in Jiangnan to check the acres of land, so let him go to supervise the army.

With Longqing's permission, Tang Yi immediately drafted a decree appointing Zhang Juzheng as the governor of Huguang, and at the same time sent Xu Bangyang, a general who patrolled the river, to assist Zhang Juzheng and jointly suppress the rebellion of the Liao king.

After the decree was issued, Tang Yi successively sent messengers to Shandong, Shanxi and other places, demanding that local officials must strengthen their vigilance to strictly prevent any more vassal kings from rebelling.

After working all night and tossing until the afternoon of the next day, Tang Yi finally dragged his tired body back home from the cabinet. He wanted to rest for a while, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so he simply went to invite the three counselors.

"It stands to reason that the descendants of the old Zhu family have been raised, and the rebellion of King Yi, to put it bluntly, more than half of them were forced out, what kind of excitement did the King of Liao and the Acting King have together?"

In front of the strategist, Tang Yi did not hide it, Wang Xijue's various actions were instructed by Tang Yi, and he was even worried that Wang Xijue was reckless, so he asked Shen Shixing to assist from the side.

According to Tang Yi's idea, the head of a vassal king is enough to establish authority, after all, he is an emperor and noble, and it is not good to kill too much. But why they all came out, I really can't figure it out!

The three strategists looked at each other, and Wang Yin spoke first.

"My lord, do you know Zhang Juzheng's original name?"

"Isn't it Baekyu (turtle)!" Tang Yi said with a smile, Dafan has some amazing characters, all of them have visions from their backgrounds, what red light, fragrance, lotus flowers from the sky, magpies chirping...... Since Tang Yi entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, some people say that when he was born, there was a big star that was exceptionally bright, and a starlight shot into the Tang family, and the fragrance was endless for three days.

Tang Yi dared to say that this was absolutely a lie, Tang Shen had already mentioned that when he was born, it happened to be a rainy day, not to mention the stars, and he couldn't even see the moon.

But people are just good at this, and Tang Yi can only be helpless.

Zhang Juzheng has been a prodigy since he was a child, and his grandfather Zhang Cheng dreamed of a white turtle crawling out of the water the day before he was born, and he was very happy, so he named Zhang Juzheng Bai Gui, and it was not until he entered school that he changed to Juzheng.

"My lord, do you know why you changed your name?"

"How do I know the gossip of the Zhang family!" Tang Yi said casually.

"Alas, my lord, it's all because of one person."

"Who?"

"King Liao!"

Tang Yi sat up in shock, "Could it be that Zhang Juzheng has a grudge against the King of Liao?" ”

Wang Yin nodded, "It's a long story. ”

The first line of the King of Liao was originally in the Daning Dusi, and Jiangling was not next to each other at all. It was not until Zhu Di abolished the Daning Metropolitan Division that the King of Liao was moved to Jingzhou.

Zhang Juzheng's grandfather Zhang Cheng from a small official, has been to the county, the old man taught Zhang Juzheng to read since childhood, poured his heart and soul into him, in the year Zhang Juzheng was nine years old, Zhang Cheng was called into the palace to drink banquet. It wasn't until midnight that he was sent back, only saying that Zhang Cheng had drunk too much, and when the Zhang family carried him in, they found that Zhang Cheng had blood at the corner of his mouth, his teeth were clenched, his face was purple, and he was unconscious.

Fools know that they are not drunk, so they quickly call in a doctor to rescue them.

The doctor was also helpless, and it dragged on for three days, Zhang Cheng finally opened his eyes, and he told his family intermittently because he refused to give convenience to the Liao Wangfu, which attracted the dissatisfaction of the Liao Wang.

In the wine, poison was applied, and it was the King of Liao who killed him.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng vomited blood and died, and until he died, his eyes were not closed.

Since then, Zhang Juzheng studied hard, was a young man, was selected into the Hanlin Academy, worshiped under the Xu Jiemen, more than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, the old Liao King has died, replaced by his son, but the hatred is still the same, and even buried deeper.

A few decades ago, the Zhang family was just an inconspicuous petty official, and the King of Liao was a high-ranking vassal king, and now Zhang Juzheng is already the fifth-ranked elder, the teacher of the Son of Heaven, holding heavy power, the advantage is reversed, and Zhang Juzheng has a chance to take revenge.

After Wang Yin finished telling the story, Tang Yi took a breath, "Could it be that the King of Liao rebelled, and there is still a story in it?" ”

"Maybe!" Shen Mingchen interjected: "Zhang Juzheng is not a fair and upright person, he is in charge of the power of Qingzhang Tianmu, and the southeast is under his jurisdiction, secretly attacking and forcing the King of Liao to rebel, there is nothing impossible." ”

Wang Yin rarely agreed, "What the sentence says is reasonable, do you want it, my lord?" ”

"How?" Tang Yi smiled, "Let him go, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also herded." Coincidentally, I also recommended Zhang Juzheng to quell the rebellion, he deserved the bad luck of King Liao, anyway, he hadn't done anything good in these years, and he was innocent. ”

Let's weigh it, it is indeed for the sake of King Liao, it is really not worth falling out with Zhang Juzheng.

However, the communiqué is always bad, Mao Kun suggested sending someone to keep an eye on Zhang Juzheng, this guy wants to use it, but he must also guard against it, lest he cause trouble for Tang Yi.

Tang Yi handed over the matter to Mao Kun to deal with, and it didn't take long for a secret letter to come from Jiangling and send it to Tang Yi.

"Yuanfu, this is the Huguang Governor Hong Chao's contestant book, saying that it must be delivered to you."

Tang Yi hesitated, Hong Chaoxuan, who is he?

……

Huguang Jiangling, the residence of the Zhang family.

"Hong Chaoxuan is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 20 years, after entering the dynasty as an official, he attached himself to the Yan Party, and he was in the ascendant, and after the Yan Party fell, he was attached to Xu Ge Lao, and later climbed the door of the high arch, and was promoted to the governor of Huguang."

Zhang Juzheng looked at the files of the ministry and sighed very much, Hong Chaoxuan can be reused under the three pavilion elders with different personalities, which is really not shallow.

This person's biggest ability is to be ruthless, cruel, is a very good dog, when he was in the criminal department, there happened to be an enemy of Xu Jie's in prison, at that time in the cabinet, Gao Gong insisted on charging the army and distributing it, Xu Jie did not fight with Gao Gong, so he drafted the vote according to the meaning of Gao Beard.

As a result, the Criminal Department was stunned for three months, and Xu Jie's enemy was imprisoned alive in the prison of the Criminal Department, making the beard have no temper at all. As a result, Hong Chaoxuan was promoted to governor of Huguang.

Zhang Juzheng and Xu Bangyang, the general of the patrol river, led the army of 5,000 to Jiangling, the Zhang family is a big family in Jiangling, plus there is also the industry of the Yangtze River Shipping Company in the city, and there are many bodyguards escorting the ship.

After they contacted the people inside, they joined forces with the outside and took Jiangling in one fell swoop, Zhu Xian, the king of Liao? Below, more than 5,000 people who participated in the rebellion, except for more than 3,000 who were killed, the rest were captured, rebelled back and forth, and began a month ago, and the real battle was only three days, which was no better than King Yi.

It's just that after the King of Liao was arrested, he kept shouting, "Hong Chao chose me wrong, Hong Chao chose me wrong!" ”

Zhang Juzheng frowned, and his father Zhang Wenming on the side did not hesitate at all, on the contrary, he looked extremely excited.

"Uncle, the opportunity for revenge has finally come!"

Zhang Wenming remembered his father's tragic death, and tears flowed, "Your grandfather died horizontally, and he can't enter the ancestral grave after death, when he was cremated in his old man's house, the bones were all black!" In my father's life, I never thought that I could take revenge, but God is on our side. For more than 30 years, my son entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and the King of Liao rebelled and became a prisoner. Son, no matter what, you have to kill the King of Liao and seek justice for your grandfather! ”

Zhang Wenming was crying and babbling. Zhang Juzheng was full of distraction, of course he wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't decide what role Hong Chaoxuan played in the rebellion. If it's just Hong Chaoxuan, it's okay, in case he is implicated in some big shots behind his back, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

"Son, don't you want to mention your grandfather for revenge?" Zhang Wenming said angrily with a calm face: "If that's the case, my father won't agree!" ”

Zhang Juzheng thought about it again and again, and said: "Dad, the child has his own opinions, come here, immediately pass on my order, and imprison Governor Hong Chaoxuan in the governor's yamen, and not see anyone." ”

The Hong Dynasty chose to be the Sanpin Frontier, and if you want to dispose of him, you must ask for a decision.

Just when Zhang Juzheng was writing to the imperial court, a note written in blood had already been placed in front of the cabinet ministers.

"Chen Hu Guangbu political envoy Dong Wenyu risked death Chen Zuo: cabinet minister Zhang Juzheng, fabricated charges, assassinated the clan, the king of Liao suddenly heard more than ten major crimes, panicked and frightened, hastily raised troops, Zhang Juzheng pretended to suppress the rebellion, announced personal vendetta, imprisoned the king of Liao. Governor Hong Chaoxuan exposed Zhang Juzheng's disobedience, which caused Zhang Juzheng to hold a grudge and dismiss his official and imprison him...... The minister vouched for his life, and none of his words were true, and he implored the imperial court to immediately remove Zhang Juzheng and strictly investigate his crimes! ”

After Tang Yi finished reading it, his face sank like autumn water, could it be that Zhang Taiyue was really so bold? (To be continued.) )
