424 King Ning rebelled
readx;
"Yang Qing did a very good job on this imperial mission, I am very happy to hear it", as soon as the leopard fang Zhengde returned to the leopard room, he said with a smile: "Now the imperial court has not only taken the white-clothed army into use, temporarily balanced the situation in the north, but also completely annihilated 15,000 followers of the Maitreya cult. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now the local government is according to the map, according to these believers to check their relatives and relatives and friends who have been close to each other in the past, and have arrested a group of Maitreya followers, I believe that after this war, the vitality of Maitreya has been greatly damaged, and at least 50 years will not be a climate, and by that time, the Ming soldiers will be strong, the country and the people will be safe, who else will follow them to rebel? ”
"It's all thanks to the emperor's Hongfu, Your Majesty, what's the situation in Beijing? He actually asked the emperor to go to the street in person to refute the rumors to the people? Yang Ling said casually and immediately turned to the topic.
At the mention of this matter, a trace of anger appeared on Zhengde's handsome face: "Naturally, the Maitreya cult sent people to spread rumors in Beijing in order to cooperate with the rebellion." The three factories and one guard are hurrying to search, and the horses are all over the nine cities, and no one dares to spread rumors publicly, but the news that has been spread has caused a great impact on the people.
The last time I secretly went to Datong, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, the three bachelors falsely claimed that I was sick and resting, and from time to time they also drove my imperial chariot to make a false impression that I was still in the court, but now I was used by the cult, I just put on a guard of honor to go out of the palace to the court, and they also bewitched the people, saying that I left the palace without permission, and I had died in the Jingjing Station, and the world was about to be in chaos, and I hated me so much that I had to go to the city for a visit."
Speaking of this, he was happy again, and said with a smile: "Zhengde is here for a visit!" As soon as this sentence comes out, it's time to stop the mouths of those idlers, right? ”
Zhengde children's temper, always think that you said so, then I will pierce you like this, but I don't understand that people's hearts are sinister, even if the inscription is written? In addition to the people who saw him appear with their own eyes, other people who heard about it will still spread some rumors that the emperor is not the blood of the first emperor, the emperor died outside Beijing, and the world is about to change greatly.
However, Zheng Deming's "visit here" has become a famous sentence of the scripture. It was popular all over the world for a while, and the literati and the people of Shengdou were also emulated, and later the famous places of interest, the Great Wall of ancient trees, pavilions and towers, the words "visit here" can be seen everywhere, Wang Er also traveled, Zhang San also traveled, and the swim was a mess, and even Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West" when he grew up, and there was a passage of Sun Wukong writing a sentence on the finger of the Buddha, "Come here".
The influence of the emperor is incomparable, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and as a result, a woman loses weight for thousands of years, and Zhengde "comes here", and the habit of visiting here is estimated to take thousands of years to completely disappear.
Yang Ling glanced at Zhengde and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I heard that in addition to these rumors, there are also people who claim that King Jin and King Ning are rebelling?" ”
When Zhengde heard this, he frowned and said, "Yes, this kind of rumor is really annoying." To say that the King of Jin rebelled, there is a little bit of possibility, supported by Li Fuda's nearly three years of lurking in Taiyuan Wei and secretly organizing the Maitreya Xiang Army. King Ning has always been loyal and obedient, how could he rebel? These rumors are flying all over the sky, and they can't stop the mouths of those small people. ”
Yang Ling knew that he would rather doubt King Jin than easily suspect King Ning, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "So, don't the cabinet ministers have any way to deal with these rumors?" ”
Zhengde smiled bitterly: "Why is there no countermeasure? They say that I have ascended to heaven, and I am not a wandering soul in the streets. They say that I am not the first emperor's own child, what can I do? Could it be that he and the Queen Mother went to the street to perform blood confession? Some things are left to them.

As for the rebellion of the two kings, it is more important, after all, this is a fundamental matter related to the imperial court, and several scholars in the cabinet are also very cautious, and they dare not easily assert whether it is indeed true. You sent someone to spy on King Jin, didn't you see anything unusual about him? After a detailed investigation, Taiyuan Jinyi Wei also sent the news back, there are several officials in Taiyuan who eat frequently with Li Fuda, have received heavy gifts, and now they are all arrested and interrogated, and the King of Jin and Li Fuda have never been close, but there is no suspicion.
Jiao Fang, Yang Tinghe and several others suggested that I hand over the important task of cleaning up the remnants of Maitreya in Shanxi to the King of Jin and the local government to complete together, one to refute the rumors, and the other to show my trust. I have approved it, and the will just came out of Beijing yesterday."
Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "Then on King Ning's side, what is the emperor going to do?" ”
"King Ning is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was used by Maitreya to make a fuss, in fact, it is not completely empty", Zhengde sighed, rubbed the sun ** and said: "Uncle Ning Wang has never been in charge of the army, since the restoration of the three guards and horses, and after controlling the military and government of Jiangxi, he can't help but be complacent, hehe, some like to put on a show, and the guards who go in and out have passed the scale of the princes, and they always like to point fingers at the three divisions when they have nothing to do, so there have been local officials who have submitted a note of impeachment.
However, from this point of view, I feel that King Ning has no objections, otherwise how could he not be careful, but deliberately swagger and attract people's attention? Besides, he is a royal family member after all, can he punish a vassal king based on some rumors? Scholar Yang suggested that following the story of Emperor Xuanzong warning King Zhao, send a noble minister to reprimand him and make him relent.
I think this is very good, yesterday when I sent an edict to the Shanxi Jin Palace, at the same time issued a decree, ordering the celebrant Lai Yi and the concubine Cui Yuan to carry the edict to the south of the Yangtze River, and warn Uncle Ning Wang, lest he be too domineering and provoke the impeachment of local officials, which is related to the imperial court system, and I will not be able to defend him too much at that time.
He glanced at Yang Ling and asked, "What does Aiqing think of this treatment?" ”
King Ning is a royal clan, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause panic among the vassal kings in all parts of the world, and even rebel, Yang Ling's original idea is to prepare first and then control people, if he does not rebel at this time, let the court ease up a little, it is the best, after all, it is about to enter the winter, and the use of troops in winter is even more inappropriate.
What's more, this matter has been agreed by the cabinet, and the emperor's edict has been implemented, and it is inconvenient for Yang Ling to add more beaks, so he bowed down and smiled: "The emperor is wise, it is very appropriate to deal with it like this."
Well......", getting the praise of his most trusted and appreciative courtiers, Emperor Zhengde was a little satisfied, he smiled and pinched his chin slightly, nodded, and said: Approve too? That's good. You're here, so don't rush to go. Xian'er gave me a fish head soup, you can stay and drink some together. Xian'er's soup is good, and the soup is as rich as milk, and it is more fragrant than that cooked by Ouchi's imperial chef."
Zhengde stood up as he spoke, smiling and walking towards the back garden.

Tongshu Ridge, this is a steep peak, the cliff is like a knife, the forest is like a gun halberd, it looks a little eerie. However, the marching Qincha honor guard did not care, the mountains and forests here are not suitable for bandits to station, and there are few pedestrians in the past, so it has always been quiet.
Moreover, now that the white-clothed army has fled to the outside of the Saiwai, the Maitreya elite has been mourned, although the vitality of the imperial court has been greatly damaged by the successive wars, but a series of restructuring and innovation have made the northern people who have benefited first see hope. Although winter is approaching and the trees are sluggish, the people have settled down and are looking forward to a better life next year.
Cui Juma is about fifty years old, and Eunuch Lai is the same age, these two people are actually very happy to receive this imperial mission. With their identity, they don't make much money outside, and now they are ordered to go to Jiangxi to reprimand King Ning, which is a big fat difference.
King Ning made a generous move, every time he sent someone into Beijing, he carried a large number of gold beads and jade treasures to give to the powerful ministers, this time he went to reprimand by the emperor's order, in order to let them come back and say a good word, it is estimated that the gifts received by the two people must be more valuable, and the money made by this trip is afraid that it will not be spent for ten years, so the two of them sit in the car and enjoy it.
The mountain road was rugged, the wheels creaked, and suddenly a bird flew in the forest, and the guard of honor was a thousand households in brocade, and he glanced at the dense forest disapprerovingly, thinking that it was a startled bird as the car drove by. But before his gaze could be withdrawn, there was a faint flash of light in the dense forest, and Qianhu couldn't help but be taken aback, and suddenly reined in his horse and shouted: "Wait, the forest is ......."
The blue wolf's tooth arrows were driven into his throat, and then countless sharp arrows were shot from the dense forest, and the arrows entered the body, and the people shouted and neighed, and the arrows as dense as flying locusts did not know how many, and the team of five hundred people was trapped in the narrow mountain stream and became a living target. The people in the dense forest never showed up, arrows flew, and knights on horseback fell to the ground.
When Eunuch Lai heard the screams and screams, he couldn't help but open the sedan curtain in a panic and came out, pulling the male duck's throat and shouting: "What happened, but there is a mountain ......."
"Puff puff puff", four sharp arrows shot into his body in unison, Eunuch Lai didn't even scream miserably, shook it and fell to the ground. The horses were disturbed by the cries of the knight, and the two horses pulling the cart in his sedan sedan strode forward in a panic, the wooden wheels rolling on his bloated body, dragging and pulling along, and his waist and belly were crushed by the iron-clad wheels.
Silence reigned in the forest, and the trail was littered with corpses of arrows, and even the canopy of the car was covered with arrows. After a while, some masked men with green scarves came out of the forest, holding blades in their hands, and began to ruthlessly deal with the officers and soldiers who had not yet breathed.
Cui Fuma hid in the car, his face was pale, his teeth were fighting, two sharp arrows penetrated the carport, and the sharp arrows flashing blue were in front of him, so shocked that his straight eyes became cross-eyed.
The curtain opened, and a burly masked man in Tsing Yi stood at the entrance of the sedan chair and glared at him.
The masked man in green clothes narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What about the holy decree?" Take it! ”
Cui Juma looked at the yellow silk package on his seat, and trembled his hands to pick it up. The man in Tsing Yi impatiently took out the knife, brushed the ground, hooked the tip of the knife, and lifted it out. Cui Pony exclaimed: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm a pony." If you ask for money, you may ransom and kill me."
The man in Tsing Yi glanced at him contemptuously, opened the package on the wheel, tore the seal, took out the holy decree and looked at it, looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and then took the holy decree and turned around and left. Immediately, two people in Tsing Yi jumped on the car, and there was an exclamation in the carriage, only to see the two Tsing Yi people constantly swinging knives, and the carriage shook violently, and when they jumped out of the car, the dripping blood had dripped out of the crack in the bottom of the car.
"Take the holy decree away, immediately ask the master craftsman of the sect to tamper with it according to the plan, and then send it back to Jiangxi quickly. Now that the imperial court has been robbed of the assassination decree, maybe it will send a military post to Nanchang first, so it must be in front of the imperial court. The leading man in Tsing Yi walked as he walked.
"The altar owner can rest assured, when King Ning paid tribute to Fang Wu, he took the opportunity to set up a fast horse along the way, and within 12 days, the news from Beijing could be transmitted to Jiangxi quickly, faster than the military post, and I asked someone to send Jiangxi through these secret spy reports immediately after the change."
After speaking, he suddenly paused, and there was an old man with a wrinkled face standing on the withered yellow grass beside the path in front of him, leading a little granddaughter to stand there tremblingly, looking at the vulgar robe and the basket on his arm, which should be a mountain man who had just returned from entering the city.
They had apparently seen what was in front of them, but it was too late to turn around and run away. The leader of Tsing Yi smiled, walked in front of the pair of ancestors and grandchildren, the frightened old man breathed a sigh of relief, and before he came, he knelt down and thanked the 'king' who spared his life, a snowy steel knife was raised, and the subordinates behind the leader of Tsing Yi made a move. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
With two short screams, the man rubbed the bloodied steel knife against the corpse and hurried after him. Calm soon returned to the trail, save for the ownerless horses neighing and wandering around the trail in boredom. Eunuch Lai's body had been completely swept under the car, his robe was entangled in the wheels, and the futile mules and horses were still constantly rolling, and the flesh and blood were blurred......
*********
Jiangxi Ningwang Mansion.
King Ning's fast walking and fast riding is really God, and the holy decree that has been robbed has been placed on his desk. Prince Ning has big ears and black hair, and he looks dignified and very powerful, just looking at the image, he is much more handsome than the fat man Hongzhi Emperor, who is known as the virtuous emperor.
Dressed in a homely dress with purple silk flowers, he slowly unfolded the holy decree by candlelight, on which Emperor Zhengde reprimanded him for overstepping the princely control and plotting against him, and finally ordered Cui Fuma and Eunuch Lai to escort him into Beijing with brocade guards to ask for his guilt, and then severely punish him after the crimes impeached by the local officials were ascertained.
King Ning's hands trembled, and he knew his own affairs, and now the local officials are only impeaching him for his lawlessness, flying and domineering, and many disrespectful and arrogant behaviors, but if he is really arrested in Beijing and sent factory guards to investigate strictly, there is a good chance that the matter of accumulating strength to prepare for rebellion will be investigated, and even if he does not cut off his head at that time, he will be banned for life, and life is better than death.
"The Maitreya cult is really harmful, they rebelled in order to create a momentum, and they actually pulled the king into the water!" King Ning slammed the table angrily, after analyzing the situation in the imperial court a few days ago, Li naturally advised him to raise troops immediately, but King Ning was afraid that the important generals of the surrounding provinces were all replaced by Yang Ling's right-hand man when he exterminated the white-clothed bandits, and Yang Ling was under one person and above ten thousand people, and his status was extremely respected, and it was impossible to buy him at all, and he must be a firm supporter of Xiao Zhengde, so he hesitated again and again and did not dare to move.
Unexpectedly, Maitreya rebelled again, and even spread rumors and dragged him into the water, but now he can't think of it. At the thought of rebellion, King Ning couldn't help but be in a daze, he was ambitious and ambitious, recruiting people everywhere, colluding with barbarian Tusi, and installing outlaw cronies in the army, intending to ascend the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, this thought has been more than a year, and such preparations have been more than a year, but now the matter has to be reversed, but he doesn't know what to do at a loss.
After being stunned for a long time, King Ning shouted loudly: "Come on, immediately invite Mr. Liu, Mr. Li and ** Shi, hurry up, this king has 100,000 urgent matters."

The housekeeper who was waiting at the door of the study hurriedly agreed and ran out. King Ning knows Corporal Lixian very well, and the Mr. Liu and Mr. Li in his mouth are his right-hand man. Mr. Li's name is Li Shishi, his family is rich, he is the richest gentleman in Nanchang, this person is a Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua, he was an official to the right capital of the imperial history, he was defeated in the internal struggle of the imperial court, and was forced to give office, so he held a grudge against the imperial court.
People like him have been wealthy for generations, and the glory and wealth have been enjoyed inexhaustibly since childhood, and the only pursuit is to leave a name for eternity, since the court can not satisfy him, and King Ning is ambitious, Li Shishi wants to be a founding father, so he is determined to be owned by King Ning and becomes his staff.
Liu Yangzheng is a well-known person in Nanchang, and he was also recruited by King Ning Chongjin to become his staff. The three of them learned that King Ning was urgently summoned, except for the ** master Li Tiantian, the other two didn't know what was going on, and the three of them hurriedly came to King Ning's mansion, and King Ning said as soon as he saw them speak: "The two gentlemen are not good." The emperor has heard the rumors of the king's rebellion, and has made a decree to take me into Beijing to ask for guilt. ”
"What?" Li Shishi was taken aback: "Where did you get this news from the prince?" ”
"You see, the Holy Purpose is this", King Ning handed over the Holy Decree and sneered: "Fortunately, the ** master reminded me that this king had already taken precautions and had eyeliner in the capital. There is a sentry in the suburbs of Beijing, and when they heard the news, they robbed the holy decree and sent it with the fast walking and flying horses set up by this king, otherwise this king will still be kept in the dark, and when the Qin mission arrives, if the officials of the three divisions of the collection announce the decree, the king can only wait to be killed."
Li Shishi took the holy decree and took a closer look, it was indeed the emperor's decree, and he couldn't help but change color in shock, and said: "The emperor wants to take the prince into Beijing to investigate?" This is obviously a delaying tactic, as long as the prince enters Beijing with the order of luck, it will be a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and it is up to him whether he fights or kills."
King Ning stroked his beard and snorted: "Just a small skill of carving insects, this king can naturally see it, how should the two gentlemen and * see how this king should deal with it?" ”
Liu Yangzheng stomped his feet and said, "Lord Wang, how can you deal with it now?" Only the opposite! ”
King Ning said: "We haven't been fully prepared, how sure are we of rebellion at this time?" ”
Li Dali was dignified, dressed in a Taoist costume lined with fairy wind bones, he had been watching the reactions of several people coldly, and only then did he smile slightly: "Lord Wang, your conditions are not sufficient, but what about the imperial court?" The imperial court was even more unprepared. Several battles with the Tartars, the Franc Machine, and the Duzhang Barbarians have exhausted the strength of the imperial court, and now the imperial court is at the end of the strong crossbow, and there is no longer the strength of a battle, otherwise why make such a decision, not send troops to crusade but order a team of brocade guards to take people?
Besides, on our side, after more than 100 years of accumulation, the wealth of Ning Wangfu is like a mountain, which is enough to support the money and food needed by a large number of troops for several years of warfare.
The Tusi of the Miao, She and other ethnic groups in Zhangzhou, Tingzhou and Nanjiang have also formed an alliance with the prince, and can become a right-hand man if necessary. The prince's soldiers are full of food, but the court is strong outside and in the middle, and now the situation is more advantageous than the 'Yan Wangjing difficulty' back then, once the army is raised, why worry about the big thing? ”
He said, but his heart was like a knife, he had received the news that his father was defeated and killed, and the Maitreya Sect had been dealt a heavy blow, not only the backbone believers were wiped out, but also the imperial court was searching the world according to the roster of these people.
Now that King Ning can't win the world, he doesn't have the ability to take it from his hands again, but if King Ning can succeed, the strength of the Maitreya Sect can take the opportunity to re-develop, then in his lifetime, there may not be no more chance. If King Ning fails, it will also hit the Ming Dynasty hard, and the dead friends will not die and the poor will not die, as for King Ning's life or death, it will have nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he was full of hatred, intending to use the knife of King Ning to avenge Maitreya and his father.
When King Ning heard this, he looked at the three right-hand men with great hope and asked, "In that case, what suggestions do you have and what should this king do?" ”
The three wise men pondered separately and began to give King Ning ideas.
At present, taking advantage of the fact that the news of the imperial court has not yet arrived, it is the only choice to take the initiative to raise troops. King Ning has the three guards and horses in his hands, plus the Red Silkworm Society, the Poyang Lake water pirates, and the local gang organizations in Jiangxi, and the officers and soldiers of the guards who have been placed and bought, can raise at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. When it can concentrate nearly 80,000 troops, such a force is enough for a battle.
Nanchang is a lonely city, which is lonely, and there is no room for exhibition here. The only way out is to go north to take the Beijing division and occupy Nanjing, first with the imperial court to divide the river and rule, and then Xu Tu the world two roads, after some consultation, Li Shishi concluded: "According to the subordinates, we can find an excuse to gather the officials of the three divisions of Jiangxi, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and then correct the empress dowager's edict, and raise troops in the name that the emperor is not the first emperor's own son."
If there are those who do not obey, they will be immediately killed, and their seals will be seized to drive the officers and soldiers, and if they go directly north to the Beijing Division, one will be a lone army to go deep into some adventures, and the other will be about to enter the winter, which is not good for our southern army. We might as well lay down the capital first, Nanjing has its own six departments and nine qing, as long as the prince takes Nanjing, he can immediately ascend the throne as the emperor, and at the same time has the richest place in the south half of the Yangtze River. ”
King Ning nodded again and again when he heard this, and Liu Yangzheng added: "Nanchang is our foundation, and we can leave one or two thousand people here to guard the city. At the same time, in the south of Jiangxi, with the help of the forces of the Tusi of the Miao, She and other ethnic groups, we will defend against the danger and set up a line of defense, which will only defend and not attack, as long as it can protect our foundation and cover our attack on the south."
Li naturally smiled: "In fact, Nanchang City is extremely strong, in the past, Zhu Wenzheng led an army of less than 10,000 people to hold this city, and fought against Chen Youliang's 600,000 army for three months, but now? Although the generals of the surrounding provinces were Yang Ling's cronies, the Ming Dynasty had very strict control over the generals, and before the imperial court sent the generals to recruit the generals to unify the army, they could only guard their own defensive areas, and could not march beyond the province.
Even if there are local officials in Jiangxi who are loyal to the imperial court, they will definitely not be able to muster together 10,000 soldiers and horses, how to attack Nanchang? Nanchang City is impregnable, so it is better to recruit those wolf soldiers who are good at fighting to help us attack Nanjing."
King Ning still cares about his hometown very much, and all the wealth he has accumulated is here, how can he afford to lose? Hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not proper, it's not proper, what Mr. Liu said is very true, Nanchang must not be lost, this king can take all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to attack Nanjing, only 5,000 soldiers are left here to defend the city, and those Tusi's soldiers and horses are still temporarily guarding the southern line."
Li naturally heard that he was willing to do his best, so he didn't say much. The group deliberated, and then immediately separated and left. Li was naturally responsible for dispatching troops and generals, convening the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains to discuss the matter, and preparing for tomorrow's rebellion. Liu Yangzheng went to prepare money and food for the soldiers, and prepared to use them as military salaries. Li Shishi went back and racked his brains to write a crusade that was worth 100,000 troops.
Ning Wang Chitose was the busiest, he ordered several big housekeepers to copy the invitation sticker together, and summoned the officials of the three divisions of Nanchang City to come to the banquet on the grounds of the birthday of his concubine; It is also necessary to meet with the confidants and generals of the Sanwei pro-army to teach them face-to-face, and tomorrow they will secretly ambush soldiers in the palace; At the same time, he recruited several of his brothers and nephews who were uneducated and unskilled, unified internal opinions, prepared to fight his own brothers, went into battle with father and son soldiers, and killed Xiao Zhengde.
Ning Wangfu has been going on all night, and Zhu Chenhao is about to rebel vigorously!
