(

After the performance in the theater, Lian Xiang invited Li Yuntian and those military men to have supper at the Sifang Guild Hall.

The fragrance of mercy after removing her makeup was fresh and refined, beautiful and moving, and the soldiers who were fortunate enough to witness her true face were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

When Lian Xiang saw Li Yuntian this time, she didn't just invite him to have supper, but also secretly told him an important thing: Shi Hu Yongxing, the governor of the Zhao Palace, has been very active in the capital recently, secretly interacting with the civil and military ministers of the court, and has close contacts with the Zuo Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion and Xing'an Hou Qin Bogui.

Li Yuntian was extremely surprised by this news, Yang Yungui had already arranged for someone to spy on Hu Yongxing, but he did not find out that he had any dealings with Qin Bogui.

King Zhao's fief was in Zhangde Mansion in Henan, and the Henan Metropolitan Division was subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, with 15 guards, 6 guards, and 4 herdsmen.

Among them, there are 6 guards and 1 general guarding the Qianhu Residence, all of whom are Qin Bogui's old subordinates, so Hu Yongxing's interaction with Qin Bogui is a standard internal and external collusion, which is a taboo of the imperial court.

In Li Yuntian's impression, King Zhao has always been relatively low-key, and he has neither won the support of Wenchen like Emperor Hong Xi, nor the support of nobles like King Han, so even if he wants to get his hands on the throne, he is powerless.

However, King Zhao is probably the most ruthless one in the center of the three brothers of Emperor Hongxi and King Han, and if the news of Yongle hadn't leaked in the twenty-first year of Yongle, his guard commander would have almost killed Emperor Yongle.

Now that Emperor Xuande has ascended to the throne for the first time, the King of Han is ready to move in Le'an Prefecture, which makes the court unstable and turbulent, which just gives the dormant King Zhao a chance to take advantage of the situation to make friends with the powerful people in Beijing, intending to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

After learning the news of Hu Yongxing and Qin Bogui's secret correspondence, Li Yuntian's brows frowned slightly: If King Zhao gets Qin Bogui's support, then he will get Qin Bogui's troops in the old department of Henan Dusi, which will undoubtedly bring huge pressure to the capital.

The reason is very simple, King Zhao's rebellion will inevitably attract the troops of the Henan Metropolitan Division, and after losing the containment of the Henan Division, the Shanxi Metropolitan Division can free up his hands to draw part of the troops to march towards the Beijing Division, forcing Emperor Xuande to divide his troops to meet the enemy.

At that time, the kings of the world will surely respond in groups, and the Ming Dynasty will fall into a pattern of wars and chaos.

It is worth mentioning that although Qin Bogui also supported the King of Han, he was not a diehard loyalist of the King of Han like Lu Zhongqian, and was closer to the centrist of Xunguili, so it was impossible for him to respond immediately after the rebellion of the King of Han, and he had to wait and see the changes in the battle between Emperor Xuande and the King of Han.

After all, Henan Dusi commanded Peng Yu to be the centrist of Xunguili, if Qin Bogui rashly let his subordinates follow the Han King to rebel, then it would put Peng Yu in a very embarrassing position, and there was a good chance that Peng Yu would be forced to send troops to encircle and suppress. The update is the fastest and most stable

Qin Bogui's troops in the old Henan Metropolitan Division only accounted for one-third of the total strength of the Henan Metropolitan Division, and once Peng Yu sent troops to come, he would be in a worrying situation.

After Peng Yu was transferred to the military cabinet as a member of the military cabinet, the newly appointed commander of the Henan capital was a noble of Peng Yu's family, and he would definitely make the same choice as Peng Yu in the face of those rebellious guards to ensure the stability of Henan's borders.

Moreover, Zhangde still has the palace of King Zhao, in case King Zhao did not participate in the rebellion of King Han, Qin Bogui's old department in Henan will face the attack of King Zhao and Henan Dusi at that time.

Although Zhao Wangfu only has the strength of Changshan Left Guard, Changshan Right Guard and Changshan Zhongwei 3 guards, but Zhao Wangfu has a group of herds and honor guards and so on, Zhao Wang can reorganize the strength of 3 guards in an instant, which is a force that cannot be ignored on the border of Henan.

But if he can join forces with King Zhao, the strength of Qin Bogui's old department plus the strength of King Zhao's mansion will compete with the Henan Dusi.

King Zhao did not need to lead troops to help the King of Han fight, as long as he waved his army south to point his sword at Jinling, then he would force the imperial court to fight on two fronts, taking care of one and losing the other.

Although there are many defenders in Jinling, with 49 guards and nearly 270,000 troops, they are used to living a comfortable and comfortable life, and their training is lax, and their combat effectiveness is really not flattering.

As long as King Zhao led his troops to Nanjing City, then it would be like Emperor Yongle when he was martyred, someone opened the door to offer the city, so that he could easily grasp Nanjing City.

At that time, King Zhao sat in Nanjing and sent troops north to assist the King of Han to attack Emperor Xuande together, so Emperor Xuande would suffer from the enemy and be in trouble.

As for whether the armies from all over the Ming Dynasty will enter King Qin, or lead the army to Jingjing, it depends on how the war situation between Emperor Xuande and King Han and King Zhao develops. [30515671 Ruling Daming Ruling Daming] 305 Ruling Daming 308

Those centrist nobles don't want to stand on the wrong side in this battle for imperial power, plus the forces of various factions are holding each other down, so they will not rush to send troops until Emperor Xuande, King Han, and King Zhao divide the victory, otherwise they will be greeted by a catastrophe.

Speaking of which, it was purely accidental that Lian Xiang was able to get the news of the secret correspondence between Hu Yongxing and Qin Bogui.

One of Qin Bogui's concubines recently studied drama with Lian Xiang, and Lian Xiang saw that the hairpin she was wearing on her head was very beautiful, so she praised it in passing.

The concubine was very happy when she heard this, and she proudly told her that it was a gift from the governor of the Zhao Palace, and Qin Bogui gave it to her, in order to show how she was received.

Lian Xiang was taken aback when she heard this, and quickly changed the topic, feeling shocked in her heart.

As the head of the Zuiyue Building, the famous Su family in the capital is now a high-ranking official and dignitary among the people who come and go with Lianxiang, and often talk about the situation in the court, so Lianxiang knows the current situation of the court very well.

She knew that Qin Bogui was the right governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and she also knew that King Zhao's fief was in Zhangde, and the governor of King Zhao's Mansion secretly corresponded with Qin Bogui, wouldn't this be a taboo for the imperial court?

When Lian Xiang saw Qin Bogui's concubine for the second time, there was no hairpin sent by Hu Yongxing on her head, which made Lian Xiang's eyes "reveal" a thoughtful look: the concubine liked the hairpin very much, and would never take it off for no reason.

Li Yuntian was very grateful for this important information provided by Lian Xiang, he never expected that King Zhao would dig into the corner of King Han.

It seems that King Zhao learned the lesson of King Ning, and when Emperor Yongle promised to divide the world equally with King Ning after the matter was completed, he not only broke his promise after ascending the throne, but also moved King Ning to Nanchang and seized his military power and power.

If King Zhao only responded to King Han's rebellion, then the situation was undoubtedly controlled by King Han, and after King Han ascended the throne, he would definitely draw his hand to deal with him.

Therefore, King Zhao took the initiative to win over Qin Bogui, so that he could go south to Jinling and capture Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then have the capital to compete with the King of Han.

I have to say that King Zhao's wishful thinking is very fine, and the King of Han confronts Emperor Xuande in Shandong, so Henan Dusi will definitely not dare to rashly send troops to pursue King Zhao who is heading south, which makes King Zhao have no worries.

After eating supper, Li Yuntian asked those soldiers to return to the camp, and he rushed to the Forbidden City and entered the palace to meet Emperor Xuande.

Obviously, the King of Han will never fight hard with Emperor Xuande after learning that King Zhao is going south, and he will choose to move closer to the capital of Shanxi and fight a protracted war with Emperor Xuande, forcing Emperor Xuande to face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

This would have a serious impact on the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and those vacillating nobles were likely to abandon Emperor Xuande and join the camp of the Han or Zhao kings.

The black "colored" military uniform on Li Yuntian's body made the forbidden soldiers guarding the palace gate look sideways, feeling very novel, this is the first time they have seen this new costume.

Emperor Xuande was already preparing to go to bed, and when he learned that Li Yuntian had come to meet him, he summoned him to the Qianqing Palace.

"Uncle the Third Emperor is so strategic, he actually wants to take advantage of the war between me and the Second Emperor Uncle to seize Nanjing, it seems that I underestimated him before!"

Li Yuntian told Emperor Xuande about Hu Yongxing's secret contact with Qin Bogui, and said the speculation that King Zhao wanted to take advantage of the "chaos" to seize Nanjing.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao will definitely avoid the defenders stationed in Kaifeng when he goes south, and the minister thinks that he should fight to the death with King Zhao at the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion, even if he can't be annihilated, then he must be dragged there!"

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment, bowed down to Emperor Xuande and said, "The minister thinks that a safe person should be sent to the Henan Metropolitan Division to take over the post of commander of the Henan Metropolitan Division. ”

The seat of Henan is in Kaifeng City, and Zhangde is in the north of Henan, adjacent to Shanxi, so King Zhao must pass through the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion to the south.

As long as Henan Dusi can keep King Zhao in Kaifeng Mansion, then King Zhao has nothing to worry about.

Qin Bogui's old divisions were scattered all over Henan, and they could not be gathered for a while, which meant that King Zhao had to use the strength of his own army to engage the army of the Henan Dusi, and he had a maximum of 6 guards in his hands, that is, about 30,000 people.

There are 3 guards stationed in Kaifeng Mansion, plus the guards in the surrounding areas, Henan Dusi can gather 7 guards to meet the battle, so that it is not inferior in terms of troops, which is enough to drag King Zhao to the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion.

"I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, Peng Yu is about to come to the capital, and the candidate for the post of commander of the Henan Metropolitan has been decided, and a rash change may cause unwarranted suspicion."

Emperor Xuande shook his head when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression, the safe person in Li Yuntian's mouth naturally refers to the person who is loyal to him, but this will make the outside world think that he is depriving Peng Yu and others of their military power.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a way to transfer the commander of the Henan capital and the commander of the Jiangxi capital to the envoy."

Since Li Yuntian proposed this proposal, he naturally had his solution, and said quietly.

Jiangxi Metropolitan Division is subordinate to the former military governor's mansion, and the commander of Wu Zhenbo Liu Fang and the former military governor's right governor Niu Shihao are brothers who intersect with life and death, Niu Shihao is the head of Emperor Xuande, and Liu Fang is naturally inclined to Emperor Xuande's honor, and he will definitely do his best to block King Zhao in Kaifeng Mansion.

It does not weaken the military power in the hands of the two commanders, but it just makes the two officials in different places, and the conflict between the two will undoubtedly be much smaller, and there will not be too much criticism from the outside world.

"Reversed?" Emperor Xuande's eyes couldn't help but light up for a moment, and then bowed slightly, this is indeed a good way, if Liu Fang can sit in Kaifeng, then he can rest assured
