Listening to Liu Chengfeng's words, Zhu Youzhang's eyes narrowed, and he said, "You mean to use this Zhu Youlin to test King Ning?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Exactly, Your Majesty, King Ning should not be underestimated, this person is not only a vassal king, but also so scheming, once it breaks out, it is by no means fun." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info for the sake of today's plan, you can test him first, if he is willing to obediently hand over Zhu Youlin, what will the vassal kings think of him? Hasn't he always been under the guise of protecting the interests of the vassal king? This is to make him move a stone and shoot himself in the foot. But if he doesn't hand over the people, I'm afraid that the court will be ready at any time. ”

Always be prepared...... This sentence is tantamount to telling Zhu Youzhu that he is ready to put down the rebellion.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and said: "King Ning is just a vassal king, and the guards are only five guards, and the number is only 15,000 people. ”

Liu Chengfeng shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are wrong......

The person who dares to say that you are wrong in front of the emperor is only afraid that there is only Liu Chengfeng, but Liu Chengfeng's tone of speech is worried, which makes Zhu Youzhang feel reliable.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, Mingjiao has always been unclear with King Ning, has Your Majesty forgotten about the matter of Beitongzhou?" Even the Beitongzhou Bingbei Dao Yamen was secretly mastered by the Ming Sect, so Weichen wants to ask, how many Beitongzhou Bingbei Dao are in this world, and how many people are the henchmen of King Naning, these things, only God knows. King Ning is a person with ill intentions, his plans are very big, he has been dormant for so many years, and his strength is by no means just the strength at hand, according to what Weichen saw, he didn't dare to say it elsewhere, but this Jiangxi province, I am afraid that it has already been firmly controlled by him. ”

Zhu Youjiao's face became extremely serious, originally, today Zhao Liu entered the palace by the wind, he wanted to talk about some light topics, who knew it, he talked about King Ning, his brows were deeply twisted, in his heart, he was unwilling to go against King Ning and fight in the same room, after all, it was not a glorious thing. But when it comes to the stability of imperial power, Zhu Youzhu has to pay attention.

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhu Youzhang's face was not good-looking, and continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to investigate King Ning's actions in Jiangxi, and also found some clues, as far as Weichen knows, there are water thieves in Poyang Lake, and there are also many thieves in Jiangxi, Your Majesty must also know that the governor of Jiangxi has repeatedly written to exterminate these mountain thieves and water thieves, but the final result is often the failure of the official army, these mountain thieves and water thieves have been suffering in Jiangxi for more than ten years, gathering more than 10,000 people, known as the thirteen villages of mountains and rivers, and claiming that there are 100,000 people. Originally, Jiangxi is the land of fish and rice, there are no displaced people, and the people are not too poor, where did these thieves come from? ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and continued: "After Weichen sent people to investigate around, he found that these bandits and grass are actually rich in food and grass, and they are usually not keen on coaxing merchants, but they are more likely to oppose the government. Your Majesty, just imagine, if the mountain thieves and water thieves did not loot, what would so many people depend on for their livelihood, and if no one gave them food, I am afraid that these people would have starved to death. In addition, every time the official army encircles and suppresses, it seems that these bandits and water thieves can learn the news as soon as possible, and it seems that the actions of the officials and soldiers are under their control, so Weichen also asks why the actions of the officials and soldiers are controlled by the bandits and water thieves, and every move is well understood. The only possibility is that someone fornicates with thieves, or even raises thieves for self-respect, these thieves are only afraid that they are hidden chess played by King Ning. ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "He really dares!" ”

This is naturally King Ning.

Liu Chengfeng smiled, changed his relaxed tone, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no conclusive evidence to insist that King Ning is the mastermind behind the scenes, but I feel that things are a little strange, Jiangxi is not as good as other places, here are paddy fields, and it is also the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, but why are there more thieves than in the northwest and other provinces, and they are so difficult, they are always resurrected, think about it, Weichen can only say that in this place in Jiangxi, once something happens, something big will definitely happen, and His Majesty is always limited to the guards of Ning Wangfu, Weichen thought that it was not enough, if King Ning was really anti-minded, the guards on the table were only used to hide people's eyes and ears, but he was afraid that the real power would never be put on the table. Therefore, Weichen has been persuading His Majesty to plan early, just in case. ”

In history, it was the next generation of Ning King Zhu Chenhao who rebelled, but Liu Chengfeng couldn't believe history at this time, because of his arrival, he had changed this history beyond recognition, God knows if King Ning was in a hurry, would he pull the flag and rebel, Liu Chengfeng felt that the current King Ning was ten times smarter than Zhu Chenhao, Zhu Chenhao could make an earth-shattering rebellion, gather 100,000 people, attack everywhere, and even want to take Nanjing, and confront the north and south of the imperial court, so if the current Ning King Zhu Jinjun is forced to do it urgently, What will happen is only God knows.

Liu Chengfeng immediately took out a secret letter from his sleeve and said to Zhu Youjiao: "This is a secret report sent back by the spies sent by Weichen after inquiring in Nanchang Mansion, please take a look at it." ”

Zhu Youzhu took the secret letter, quickly swept it with his eyes, and saw that the letter read: "Jiangxi is not a thief. Ningfu Wei said Zhang, and unscrupulous people gathered in groups to lead to illegal ...... Lile criminal politics gradually did not come out of the imperial court......"

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but be stunned, the sentence that Lile criminal politics did not come from the imperial court was enough to show the seriousness of the matter, and he said in a deep voice: "But why didn't the governor of Jiangxi dare to mention this matter when he wrote the book." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Although the governor of Jiangxi is not attached to King Ning, the officials in Jiangxi, although they know that King Ning is evil, they may not be willing to expose it easily. Your Majesty, exposing is a risk, and if you conceal it, you can still survive. ”

Liu Chengfeng said this sentence with deep meaning, and Zhu Youzhu suddenly woke up, if this King Ning is a time bomb, but for officials up and down Jiangxi, they are playing a game of drumming and passing flowers, exposing King Ning will inevitably cause King Ning's revenge, and the court may not be willing to believe it, any of the first situations here, you may lose your official position or even your surname. But if you don't expose it, you can still continue to fool around, anyway, they are all officials, today they are in Jiangxi, after some days, maybe they will be transferred to Jiangsu, Zhejiang or Shanxi, these troubles can naturally be left to the next office, even if something happens, you can also get rid of the relationship with yourself.

In this case, what choice would those officials make?

Zhu Youzhu blushed his face, slapped the case hard, and said angrily: "If this matter is serious, those officials who concealed the report deserve death, and I treat each other with the courtesy of a countryman, is this how they repay it?" ”

Liu Chengfeng was laughing at this Zhu Youzhu's naivety in his heart, what kind of gift of a countryman, what kind of retribution, in fact, it is all fake, everyone has parents and wives and children, why should he take risks for this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows? The so-called gentlemen do not erect dangerous walls, and even the saints teach them to be wise and protect themselves, do they still want everyone to be righteous people?

Even if there is really such a stunned young man, dare to come up with this kind of recital, I am afraid that I will already be excluded by my colleagues, oh, you are a loyal minister, everyone else is a dumb official, just you know that King Ning rebelled, so we will deceive and hide it? What is your intention in going up to this book?

The rules in officialdom have always been like this, not to say how bad these officials are, in fact, many of these officials are good officials, but in this officialdom, you need to understand one thing, more things are better than less things, nothing can be more serious, if you really want to be more serious, it will be a big disaster.

Zhu Youzhu shouted angrily, his face showed a little flush, for the officials in Jiangxi, Zhu Youzhu was very disappointed, he said a little tiredly: "I will order Dongchang and Beizhen Prefecture to continue to pay attention to Jiangxi, you are right, I should take precautions." ”

Liu Chengfeng didn't speak, because he knew that at this time, Zhu Youzhu should be thinking about how to deal with it, or think of some preventive measures, Zhu Youzhu is not the kind of emperor who asks so much about what to do when he encounters something, he has his own ideas and opinions.

So at this time, Liu Chengfeng must not be disturbed.

Zhu Youzhu squinted, and after a long time, he asked: "Liu Aiqing, I ask you, if I transfer a team of border troops to Jiangxi to suppress bandits, can I hide people's eyes and ears?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly: "Since the border army has been used, I am afraid that not only will it not be able to hide people's eyes, but it will make King Ning suspicious, and may even force King Ning to riot in advance. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, but at this time, he was really embarrassed, if he borrowed the local guard in Jiangxi to suppress King Ning, this would be a joke, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the guard, King Ning had been operating in Jiangxi for so many years, and how many guards were loyal to the imperial court were questionable, how could it be possible to contain King Ning. As for the guards in other provinces, I'm afraid it's not very helpful, the army of the guards has already become vulnerable after a hundred years, and ordinary military households are no different from ordinary tenants, relying on a group of tenants to suppress King Ning, it's a joke.

The only thing that gave Zhu Youzhu confidence was the military horses in the border towns, but the border troops were too attention-grabbing, and every move was under the nose of King Ning, and they drove to Jiangxi with great fanfare, and King Ning would probably be frightened, even if he didn't want to rebel, he was afraid that he would be forced to rebel. And if the border army is mobilized on a small scale, it may not have any effect on King Ning, but if it is to be mobilized on a large scale, what should the border town do?
