Chapter 581: Rumors from the Heavenly Family

Knowing Qin Kan, it's really hard to say whether he is losing or making money, Wang Shouren only feels that he feels very relaxed with Qin Kan, although he is occasionally trembling with the bad words that come out of Qin Kan's poisonous mouth, but he knows that no matter at any time, he can rest assured that he can boldly light his back to Qin Kan, no need to guard, no need to worry, and he can also be sure that if the defenseless back is shown to Qin Kan, Qin Kan will definitely do his best to keep his back safe.

"I'm going to Jiangxi." Wang Shouren took a sip of wine and said calmly.

Qin Kan blinked: "You're not afraid of death?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled: "You're right, I introspected myself just now and found that I am really not afraid of death, God is playing tricks like this, the more afraid of death seems to have a short life, but the more afraid of death is a long life......

"God is really cheap, where did I get to live if I'm afraid of death......"

"What do I need to do to go to Jiangxi?"

Qin Kan thought for a moment and said, "You have to put down King Ning's rebellion, at least before the imperial court reacts, and reduce the scope of King Ning's rebellion to a minimum." ”

"Give me some soldiers?"

"Not a single soldier."

Wang Shouren was stunned, looked at Qin Kan for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I really doubt that you deliberately pushed me into the fire pit......"

Qin Kan also smiled bitterly: "Although King Ning showed his opposite, he didn't make an accident, if you brought thousands of troops and horses into Jiangxi, can he not be vigilant?" Besides, King Ning used money and beauties to make countless friends with the ministers in Beijing, and sent a large army into Jiangxi for no reason, and those ministers would probably not agree, and they couldn't even pass the pass under His Majesty. After all, King Ning is His Majesty's uncle, and even if His Majesty believes in me, he will not agree to this ridiculous request. ”

Wang Shouren nodded silently, this is also the truth, the rebellion of the vassal king is too sensitive, there is no conclusive evidence, there is no clear statement by Zhu Houzhao, any action against the vassal king, especially military action, is likely to lead to death.

"Brother Wang went to Jiangxi without soldiers. But I will ask for a decree for you. With this holy decree, it is equivalent to bringing thousands of troops and horses with him, once King Ning really gets into trouble, with the holy decree, he can call the officers and soldiers of the Jiangxi local guard station to quell the rebellion. If necessary. You can also ask for help from Wei Guogong in Nanjing. As for the intelligence, you don't have to worry, I will order the local Jinyi Guards to fully assist you, and you will know in advance if there is any trouble. Don't underestimate the ability of the Jinyi Guard, with them behind you to help you, you are equivalent to an extra pair of clairvoyance and tailwind ears......"

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Although this trip is dangerous, you are not alone. ”

Wang Shouren squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and said, "If King Ning starts an incident in Nanchang, which city will he take first?" ”

"Brother Wang?"

Wang Shouren said slowly: "The Beijing division is heavily garrisoned, and Jiangxi is too far away from the Beijing division, if the king of Ning is opposed, the first to take it must not be the Beijing division, this is the strategy to die, since he can't take the Beijing division, it can be predicted, he may choose to go east or south, the east is Nanjing, the south is Huguang, the two sides take their advantage, the benefits of seizing Nanjing are undoubtedly much greater than the south into Huguang, and if he wants to take Nanjing, there is a city he can't avoid......"

"Which city?"

"Anqing!"

Qin Kan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was full of shock.

Sure enough, you can't underestimate the ancients, he himself has lived two lives, how many troops King Ning rebelled against, which city to capture first, and what the result was after the most Lu is clear, but Wang Shouren does not have the ability to predict, but he calculated King Ning's actions step by step, and he is worthy of being the only saint in thousands of years.

"Yes, I guess it's also Anqing, so the city of Anqing is the key to this rebellion, but at this time, King Ning has not rebelled, the monarchs and ministers have been blinded, and I can't interfere in the military layout of Anqing...... Qin Kan smiled helplessly and bitterly: "Things are so troublesome, I know that this is a city that must be defended, but now I can't make any arrangements, otherwise I will be attacked by the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military groups, so I can only send a trustworthy person to go down in person, wait for King Ning to start an incident, and then make the fastest response, Brother Wang, everything can only work hard for you." ”

Wang Shouren nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, the loyal ministers will die for the community, and if they eat the king's money, they will die for the community." ”

"I will go to visit Mr. Li Dongyang tomorrow, for you to ask for an official position of 'Governor of Tingjiang', and then hang a title of Imperial History, the post of governor is the most suitable for your trip, one is a temporary official position, which does not affect the interests of the Beijing division and the local government, and will not cause a backlash from the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the second is that this position can temporarily control the local political secretary, according to the judge and command the envoy, and then bring the holy decree, once the incident occurs, you can take charge of the military and political affairs of a province to resist King Ning, and wait for the imperial court to help."

Arrange an official position of governor for Wang Shouren, Qin Kan is indeed sure.

Although it was difficult for Qin Kan to be promoted to the rank of knight, as soon as Zhu Houzhao mentioned the matter of his promotion, he immediately attracted fierce opposition from the government and the opposition, and even did not hesitate to resist him to the death, but Qin Kan was sure that there would be no waves at all in promoting Wang Shouren.

I have to admit that this is a matter of character.

Needless to say, Qin Kan's character, now the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty look at him with the same eyes as a piece of shit, and they are afraid of dirty shoes when they step on it, which is a very helpless but practical fact.

But Wang Shouren is different, first of all, his origin determines the faction. His father Wang Hua is now the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and what is even more remarkable is that he was the champion of the Xin Chouke in the seventeenth year of Chenghua, and Wang Shouren was also the seventh in the second class of Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, so his background has determined that he is destined to be a person in the civil official group, and he can't change it in this life, not to mention that he wrote a classic song praised by the government and the opposition because of his rebellion against the eunuch Liu Jin, so he was degraded to Guizhou Longchang for two years......

With these proud political qualifications in the past, and his father Wang Hua's connections in the court for many years, it was not difficult for Qin Kan to ask for an official position as a governor for Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren was obviously a little surprised, stared at Qin Kan and said, "I'm just a no-grade post man who has just been transferred back to Beijing from Guizhou, but I was suddenly mentioned as a second-rank governor, so you believe me?" ”

Qin Kan smiled: "Moved, right? When I was moved, I hurried to work for the court, and it was difficult for me to find a saint. Of course, it will be used to death. ”

Wang Shouren smiled bitterly and sighed: "Why is it so difficult to hear a human word from your mouth......

…………

…………

After the business was finished, the two of them were also a little drunk, their faces were flushed, and even laughing had a silly taste.

Qin Kan seems to have not been drunk like this for a long time, as his status gets higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer people who can get drunk together, Ding Shun and Li Er are the most loyal subordinates, but they don't dare to get drunk so crazy with Grandpa Qin, Zhu Houzhao is not very old, and he doesn't have a big hobby of wine. Basically, a few cups are poured. And although Tang Yin, a scholar, drank a good amount of alcohol, Qin Kan couldn't stand him reciting poems as soon as he drank too much, or pulled him with a smile to discuss topics such as which girl in the Qinglou had big breasts and which girl had a round buttocks.

It seems that only drinking with Wang Shouren is the most enjoyable. Although this is the top person among the readers. But the strange thing is that he doesn't feel the sour smell of any scholar from him. On the contrary, he is like a chivalrous man, singing wildly when he is drunk, and even occasionally dancing a sword. After the dance, Da Lang laughed a few times, "Hurry", and then fell to the ground and fell asleep.

It is comfortable to drink with such a person from the inside out, so today Qin Kan was also drunk unconsciously.

"Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you!" Wang Shouren was drunk, laughing and chanting poetry loudly.

Pinching the handle of the wine jug and pouring wine into the wine glass, there was not a drop for a long time, Qin Kan smiled dizzily, turned his head and drank heroically: "Come on, bring me wine again!" ”

"Slow, slow!" Wang Shouren staggered, rolled his tongue and said drunkly: "Let's drink today, do you think it's a little bit worse?" ”

Qin Kan's bloodshot red eyes glared: "Could it be that the store has mixed water with wine?" What a bold ......"

"No, it's not, you said that stolen wine is the tastiest, honestly...... I've been thinking about it in Guizhou for two whole years, even if the jade syrup immortal brew is not as good as the stolen wine, I don't know if the virtuous brother thinks so? ”

Qin Kan smiled: "It makes sense, why don't you and I be thieves tonight?" ”

Wang Shouren was overjoyed, waved his hand and said heroically: "Lead the way!" ”

*******************************************************************

At the same time that Qin Kan and Wang Shouren were drunk, a shocking rumor magically emerged from Jingshi.

Rumors will always have their market, and they are not divided into regions and time periods, and they will appear when they should appear, and I don't know how many conspiracy with ulterior motives are involved behind it.

As the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, the streets and alleys of Beijing will always be indispensable to topics, in addition to eating and sleeping, the people are most enthusiastic about getting together in groups to share Zhang's family Li Jiaxiao, the things that God knows after a mouth rendering processing and then spreading out, it completely changed the taste, resulting in the most cohesive version of the rumors concentrated the imagination and full of malice of countless people.

This bad habit seems to have continued with the development of civilization since mankind had its own language and writing.

Following the hot topic of Qin Kanjin Jue Guo last time, there was a new topic in Jingshi, and this time the rumors on the streets and alleys were a bit rebellious, so even the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories, which had greatly improved in recent years, had to be nervous.

This rumor is related to today's son Zhu Houzhao.

I don't know which insider said that he leaked his mouth and said a shocking secret when talking about today's son: when today's son Zhu Houzhao was not born to Emperor Hongzhi, but a commoner's child brought back from outside by a eunuch named Li Guang in the palace at that time, the real prince has been dropped, as for the reason for dropping the prince, it is because there are still henchmen of Wan Guifei in the Xianzong period in the palace, and the bag is to avenge the dead Wan Guifei, after all, Emperor Hongzhi was the mortal enemy of Wan Guifei.

This secret was kept secret for eighteen years, until recently a small eunuch in the palace accidentally obtained a note left by the deceased eunuch Li Guang before his death, which described in detail the beginning and end of this shocking secret.

The rumor also said that after the news in the palace came out, when the son and the Empress Dowager Zhang both knew about the matter, the Empress Dowager Zhang was suspicious, and the imperial doctor Xuan entered the palace and wanted to confess with Zhu Houzhao's blood to prove whether he was his own biological child, but the emperor was furious, not only secretly beheaded two imperial doctors and more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids who spread rumors, but also imprisoned her biological mother Empress Dowager Zhang in Cining Palace, strictly prohibiting her from stepping out of the palace gate, and now the atmosphere in the palace is tense, and the corpses of eunuchs and palace maids are thrown into mass graves in the middle of the night. The palace is full of wind and wind, almost into a ghost domain, and at night I often hear the ghosts crying, and the palace is full of panic......

The rumors are very detailed, there are antecedents and consequences, they are spread vividly, as if they have seen it with their own eyes, it can be described as a fascinating good story, and the matter is related to the mysterious and noble heavenly family, and the streets and alleys of Jingshi are almost boiling because of this rumor.

The people were boiling, but the factory guards were nervous, just when Grandpa Qin and Wang Shouren were drinking, Dai Yi, the governor of the East Factory, and Gu Dayong, the Governor of the West Factory, were shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered the Fanzi Da Suo Jingshi, and in less than an hour, they asked hundreds of people who spread rumors on the spot, and they couldn't help but say that it was a miscellaneous meal, and the atmosphere in the capital city suddenly became tense.

******************************************************************

Nanchang, Jiangxi.

This is a city built because of water, the city is surrounded by rivers and lakes, Ganjiang River, Jinjiang River, Fuhe River and Poyang Lake are connected.

King Ning's fiefdom was this city.

Obviously, King Ning is a deceived person, the first generation of King Ning Zhu Quan fell on a bad role, the nature of this fool is different from the special prize in modern mobile phone text messages, the consequences are more serious, so the bitter fruit of King Ning has continued for five generations.

Yongle made a promise of "co-governance of the country and the country" when he was martyred, but it turned out to be a fart at all, and King Ning, who could have gotten half of the country, could only curl up in this small city and couldn't move.

This is a shame, five generations of King Ning's lineage have carved this shame into their hearts, passed down from generation to generation, and the hatred is deeper and deeper from generation to generation.

This can also prove that a liar may not be able to become an emperor, but he must be a liar who becomes an emperor.

I have to say that among the Zhu family vassal kings who did not become emperors, there have never been a few good things from beginning to end, and the number of scum accounts for more than ninety percent of the total number of people in the Zhu family.

Today's Nanchang City has been tossed by Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and the middle-class and wealthy families in the city who have a little more solid property have been extorted by the king of Ning.

How does the official history describe the city of Nanchang during this period?

"Seize all the people's houses attached to the king's mansions, blame the people's money, forcibly seize the children of the fields, raise a group of thieves, rob the wealth of rivers and lakes, and dare not ask."

This is the specific measure of King Ning's revenge on the society, the dignified vassal king, the nobles of the heavenly family, and now he has degenerated into the second class of bandits, and the vassal king is not like the vassal king, but has become the king of the mountain.

His Royal Highness King Ning's outlook on life is very simple and simple. - I am just a prince, not an emperor, the people in Nanchang City are not my people, but the emperor's people, and the enemy's people are naturally my enemies, so I don't need to be too polite to the enemy.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly a bastard, as the so-called "cubs don't feel distressed when they sell their fields", King Ning really didn't feel distressed about the rich businessmen who looted Nanchang, and his attitude towards the people and officials in the city was as ruthless as treating the enemy.

There are still benefits to being ruthless, at least the current King Ning is very rich, and he can almost be regarded as a rich country, not only with money, but also with food.

A vassal king who has money and food and recruits troops everywhere, a fool knows what he wants to do, and it stands to reason that the emperor who is far away in Beijing should also know what he wants, but the strange thing is that Zhu Houzhao doesn't know what he wants.

Money can make ghosts grind, of course, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are more virtuous than ghosts, and no matter how much money there is, they will definitely not help King Ning grind, but he received King Ning's silver and helped him play a round in the court, and it still doesn't matter if he says good things.

The corrupt officialdom of the Ming Dynasty provided the most suitable hotbed for King Ning's rebellion.

At this time, in the study of King Ning's Mansion, Zhu Chenhao and his advisers Zhang Shishi and Liu Yangzheng gathered together and discussed the conspiracy in a whisper. (To be continued......)
