Chapter 744: Ready to Fly

"Kill more than a hundred ministers by order?" Tang Zihe finally couldn't help but speak, and at this time, he didn't care about his weak heart, and asked in his mouth, but a pair of wonderful eyes couldn't help but glance at Qin Kan's face.

Ding Shun smiled, looked at Qin Kan's face, and didn't dare to answer, but his expression was quite proud.

Looking at Ding Shun's expression, Tang Zihe became more and more sure that this matter must have been instructed by Qin Kan, after following Qin Kan for so many years, she already knew what the virtues of his subordinates were, but when Ding Shun's dog face showed such a villainous expression, most of the things were Qin Kan's big deal.

Others don't know the consequences of killing more than 100 people with a cane, but how could a shrewd woman like Tang Zihe not know, at this moment, she suddenly blushed with excitement, and blurted out: "The new emperor actually 'decreed' to kill more than 100 ministers with a cane, and he will inevitably lose the hearts of the courtiers in the future, and now is a great opportunity......

The word "order" bit very hard, and Tang Zihe glanced at Qin Kan as he spoke.

Qin Kan had a cold face and said, "Shut up!" The situation in the world is up to you? I haven't settled the account with you yet, wait! ”

Tang Zihe realized at this time that he had really forgotten his form, and he did not have a written account, so he hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be a submissive little woman, and did not say a word again.

Ding Shun said: "Since Qian Ning has opened the killing ring, we can't bear it anymore, grandpa, the fourth lady was right just now, now it is the time when the new emperor has lost the hearts of the people, and the grandpa should have an idea." ”

Qin Kan pondered for a moment with a calm face, and said: "The heat is almost over, if it is delayed any longer, I can only watch him destroy my years of hard work one by one, and I can't bear it anymore!" ”

Ding Shun clenched his fists excitedly: "Please give an order." ”

"Go to the Liaodong Border Army garrison in the northern suburbs outside the city, and secretly summon Ye Jinquan into the city to see me."

"Yes!"

In the inner courtyard of the outer house, a crisp cracking sound came out.

Qin Kantie glared at Tang Zihe with a blue face, and Tang Zihe knelt timidly in front of him, with porcelain pieces that had just been broken scattered in front of his knees.

After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan's long-suppressed anger finally flared up.

"Tang Zihe, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"

"Remember, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, especially me, and they are not allowed to participate in state and military affairs." Tang Zihe lowered his head and whispered.

"After the defeat of Bazhou and the capture, do you remember what you said to me?"

"Remember, from now on, I will never rebel, and I will pay off the thousands of lives owed by Bazhou for the rest of my life."

Qin Kan's tone became more and more cold: "So, you sue me, what are you doing now?" ”

Tang Zihe still hung his head, but his tone was extremely stubborn: "I'm doing what I should do." ”

"When Your Majesty drowned, you were invited by the courtiers to enter the leopard room to see your Majesty's illness, and what could you say that you could hang your Majesty for ten days, presumably at that time you began to plan and calculate, right? Majesty drowning is actually not strict, with your medical skills can actually make him wake up that night, but you don't know what medicine you fed him, so that he was in a coma for ten days, so I had a wrong judgment, so I made a wrong response, and then the ten-day period is coming, and you don't know what handle Gao Feng has, forcing him to steal the seal of the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor to transfer the leopard room guards, and smuggle the unconscious Majesty out of the palace, making the court more and more confusing, and finally had to welcome the new monarch to the throne, You have calculated that the first thing the new monarch will do after he ascends the throne is to target me, a powerful minister, and I have to fight to protect myself and my wife and children, and to keep the new policy for many years......"

Qin Kan's expression became more and more fierce: "Tang Zihe, you are really calculating, you calculated the entire court and the ministers without leaving home, and even me, the pillow person, also calculated it, today the arrow is already on the string, I have to send it, seeing that the Beijing master and the world are about to change, all because of your work, do you say that I should praise you for being a female Zhuge and have no last resort?" Tang Zihe, you promised me that I would never rebel again, what are you doing now? ”

Tang Zihe sighed faintly: "I said that I would not rebel again, what I am doing now is not for my own imperial hegemony, but for the preservation of my man and family, Qin Kan, what did I do wrong?" ”

Qin Kan said coldly: "Do I need you as a woman to protect me?" In order to protect me and this family, you actually set up such a situation, and played the court and the ministers around, seeing that the chaos in Beijing has appeared, and the war of 10,000 people is inevitable, Tang Zihe, this is the result you want? ”

Tang Zihe finally raised his head and looked at him stubbornly, and the corners of his mouth actually pouted with a sneer: "Qin Kan, you said it high-soundingly, you pat your conscience, do you dare to say that you are really a loyal minister?" I've been with you for ten years, I'm not Du Yan and Jin Liu, they only see the gentle and elegant Xianggong who often makes them happy and makes them happy, and Qin Kan in my eyes is not only Xianggong, but also a hero who has the world in his belly! ”

“…… You are different from others, some of them are loyal ministers and famous generals who have stayed in the past for thousands of years, and some are undisguised chaotic ministers and thieves, and you Qin Kan, you seem to be loyal and good, but in fact you will always leave yourself a way back, you will never put yourself in a desperate situation, your layout is paved longer than me, more sophisticated than me, more than ten years ago the imperial court sent you to inspect Liaodong, I am afraid you have been arranging the back road, right? Ye Jinquan is your own hand to the position of the governor of Liaodong, these years the Beijing division has made a bureau but there are new firearms, you are always the first to send them to Liaodong, equip the border army, Ye Jinquan has eliminated dissidents in Liaodong over the years, installed cronies in the army, and suppressed the old Li Gao's old department, so that the border army of Liaodong gradually only knew Governor Ye from top to bottom, and did not know that there was a court! ”

"At the beginning of the first year of Zhengde, you set up a large camp outside the city of Beijing, recruiting good orphans from homeless camps called 'young soldiers', every year every 500 people are a group, there are as many as 5,000 in the past ten years, they read and practice every day, and then send them to Liaodong, these young soldiers can read and write, and are familiar with military books and have excellent physique, which can be described as both civil and military, how is it not easy for such people to get ahead in the border army? Ye Jinquan took the opportunity to place them in the army, and appointed them as hundreds of households and thousands of households, and after more than ten years, he carefully calculated, and the border army in eastern Liaodong changed his surname to Qin! Qin Kan, you must sue me that this chess piece is a purposeless ......one that you have no intention of falling."

"In the court, you planted a wide range of henchmen but did not show your face, silently enveloped a cadre of important ministers including Yang Tinghe, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and deliberately made friends with the eunuchs of the Inner Palace, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the eunuchs of the Imperial Seal, and Yan Song, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was your confidant and cronies, and tied the nobles who controlled the military power of the Beijing Division Regiment and Battalion with huge profits from shipping. On the contrary, under the management of Ning Guogong for more than ten years, whether it is the court or the border army, your power is like a dot and pervasive, and from the perspective of a clear-eyed person, in fact, the new monarch has greatly fallen behind, and the affairs of the court and the world are all in the palm of your hand. ”

Tang Zihe said a lot, but looking at Qin Kan's gaze became sharper and sharper: "Qin Kan, others don't understand you because they don't understand you, you are not a loyal minister, but you are not a traitor, whether you are a wise monarch or a faint monarch, as long as the emperor treats you well, you don't mind being a loyal minister for a lifetime, on the contrary, the emperor regards you as a thorn in the flesh, you don't mind changing the world and doing something big about the sky, and I, just to finish the final foreshadowing for you, just push you forward a little, you want to change the lifelong ambition of this world, The family you have worked hard to maintain, the wives and children, and the thousands of lives of countless subordinates who have followed you over the years, are all in your thoughts, Qin Kan, what are you hesitating about! ”

Tang Zihe said in the end, his tone gradually became cold, looking at Qin Kan's stunned expression, Tang Zihe suddenly giggled, laughing with tears, I don't know whether it was joy or sadness.

"Qin Kan, we are not good people, but we are not so pure, I am a female thief who is bent on changing the world, and you are an out-and-out hypocrite, in my eyes, what is wrong is the way of the world, in your eyes, what is wrong is the human heart!"

…………

…………

Qin Kan made an appointment with Ye Jinquan for the second time, and the atmosphere between the two was much more solemn.

Ye Jinquan was dressed in a martial arts shirt, sitting in the front hall of the outer house like a mountain pine, standing still, his square face like a knife and axe was expressionless, like a statue without a thought and a soul, and he couldn't see any emotion, but his momentum was always so domineering, even if he was wearing an inconspicuous coarse cloth shirt, he looked like a tiger waiting to attack, which made people feel awe-inspiring.

When Qin Kan walked into the front hall, Ye Jinquan's face finally showed a trace of warmth, and he took the initiative to stand up and clench his fists in salute.

Qin Kan smiled, at the beginning, he was just a shopkeeper recruited by the homeless camp, but more than ten years have passed, but he has become a generation of famous border town generals who have frightened the Mongolian Tatars, and even changed the offensive and defensive situation of the Han and Mongolian dynasties for more than a hundred years.

How fortunate I am in this life to have discovered this dusty pearl from thousands of displaced people.

waved away the maid who was waiting in the front hall, and only Qin Kan and Ye Jinquan were left in the hall, Ye Jinquan lowered his voice and asked, "Grandpa summoned the last general, do you plan to launch it?" ”

Qin Kan's face flashed with determination, and he nodded: "The arrow is already on the string, I have to send it, Uncle Shi, is the army ready?" ”

Ye Jinquan showed a hint of pride: "Liaodong's 50,000 border troops, I am willing to listen to my grandfather's dispatch!" ”

Qin Kan said with a smile: "The officers and men in the army are willing to do this big thing that may lose their heads?" ”

"At the end of ten years, countless young soldiers will be placed in the camp to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and the border troops in the towns of Liaodong have been mastered by the last general."

Qin Kan looked at him deeply: "What about you?" Now that you are a world-famous first-class general, even if I become the emperor in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to promote you again, why are you willing to do this big thing that has lost your head? ”

Ye Jinquan bowed and hugged his fists and said, "The last general was born in the Guogong Mansion. ”

"That's not a reason."

Ye Jinquan's cold gaze finally had a little different color: "The affairs of the imperial court, the last general does not understand, the last general was a member of the Ningxia border army, the erosion of the Ming military system, no one knows better than the general, it is because it is clear, so it is cold, so the last general quit the border army and is willing to be a homeless person." In these years, the grandfather has worked hard to make the country strong, and has repeatedly pushed the policy of strengthening the army and enriching the people, and under the promotion of the grandfather, even the offensive and defensive trend of the Han and Mongolian dynasties for more than 100 years has gradually reversed. ”

Looking at Qin Kan deeply, Ye Jinquan sighed: "In the past few years, the border towns and people of the Ming Dynasty have finally seen a little improvement, and the days have been rushing, all because of the father-in-law's work of pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, if someone wants to erase this qiē and restore it to its former appearance, the last general will fight to bear the charge of rebellion, and he will be beheaded under the horse, even if he is the emperor!" ”

Qin Kan nodded with relief: "If I can have someone who understands me, what if I am infamous through the ages?" Uncle Shi, I rely on you. ”

"How is Grandpa going to launch it?"

"Uncle Shi has read through ancient and modern history books and military books, can you know how the Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty seized the world?"

"Mess with the court but not the world."

Qin Kan smiled: "I want to do this too." ”

On the twenty-sixth day of October in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, there was a rare scene in history in the early dynasty on this day.

At the end of the hour, there was no one in front of the Chengtian Gate that should have gathered countless courtiers waiting for the palace gate to open, and the Han generals on duty at the palace gate showed a look of surprise, and when the palace gate was opened, the little eunuch who was carrying the dust walked out of the palace gate, and found that the Chengtianmen Square was empty and did not even see a mouse, the little eunuch froze for a moment, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and quickly turned around and hurriedly ran to the Qianqing Palace.

At the same time, inside the Chaoyang Gate of the Beijing Division, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses guarding the gate nodded and opened the city gate, and sent a team of brocade guards wearing red flying fish robes out of the door.

This group of men and horses was murderous, and they galloped away in the direction of Tianjin after leaving the city gate, and they were ordered by Ding Shun, the Fusi of Beizhen, to do only one thing - to intercept and kill Qian Ning!

And outside the city, in front of the Ningguo Mansion, there were suddenly a lot of people in armor overnight, these soldiers condensed and scattered around the Guogong Mansion, thousands of soldiers surrounded the Guogong Mansion into an iron bucket, the sky was just dawning, there were many generals wearing battle armor in front of the Guogong Mansion frequently came and went, and people with broad knowledge could see at a glance that whether the soldiers guarding in front of the door, or the generals who came and went in and out were all battle-hardened border troops, the kind of bloody gas and fierce murderous aura that could be smelled from a few feet away, The regimental battalion and the imperial horse prison who are accustomed to eating Taiping grain will never be able to pretend.

Without warning, the sky over Jingshi City suddenly became cloudy, and the mountain rain was about to come. rs
