Chapter 618: Clouds Move in All Directions

Zhu Houhuang was in Annan for more than half a year and finally came back. For a while, he was extremely quiet, only to see that there were no major problems in Dongyong's government affairs, so he recuperated at home for a few days, and waited for the army to withdraw from Annam one after another. All the withdrawn Yongjun will be on holiday in batches. Let the soldiers rest.

However, the city of Thang Long was broken, and the news that Annam was attached to Dongyong could no longer be hidden. Soon it spread to Beijing.

Jiajing slammed the letter on the ground and said nothing. But the anger in my heart was unmistakable.

If there is anyone in the world who can not see the most, Zhu Houhuang has achievements, it must be Jiajing, every time Jiajing sees Zhu Houhuang's achievements, he remembers that Zhengde would rather die than pass on the throne to himself. It was a thorn in his heart. When I think about it, I feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, before, the battle between Zhu Houhuang and Fu Lang Ji was actually not taken seriously by the Da Ming people. Because the Franc machine is a newly emerged feudal country, everyone does not know the strength and confidence of the Franc machine, and no one knows how capable this Franc machine is. Therefore, Dongyong's defeat of the Buddha Lang Machine is a matter of course in the hearts of the Da Ming scholars, and if it fails, it is news.

But Annan was different, and the failed conquest of Annan at the time of Chengzu Renxuan. made Annan look down on the great Ming Shizi. The country that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty did not deal with, but was pacified by tens of thousands of Dongyong. made Dongyong's strength pay attention to many people, and naturally Zhu Houhuang established a powerful vassal state in just a few years. It will also be brought up.

At that time, Jiajing felt that he must have made a background board.

In the court, there are no secrets.

Jiajing immediately wanted to order troops to pacify Dongyong, but when he thought of the situation in the court, Jiajing held back, he knew that if he couldn't bear it, there was no other way, Yang Tinghe was here, and his authority was restricted.

"It must be solved by Yang Tinghe." Jiajing secretly said in his heart: "If you don't solve Yang Tinghe, you can't solve King Yong, and if you don't solve King Yong, I will be ridiculed for a lifetime." ”

Jiajing's improper way of succession has become Jiajing's heart disease.

He even dreamed several times that the dead Zhengde was reprimanded in a loud voice, which made him restless. He couldn't accept the current situation.

"Huang Jin." Jiajing said.

"The slave is here." Huang Jin trotted all the way out and ran in, kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Huang Jin knew that when Jiajing lost his temper, he didn't want others to be around, even if he heard and saw it, he had to treat it as if he didn't hear it and didn't see it.

Jiajing said: "Let Zhang Xuan enter the palace." Instantly. ”

"Yes." Huang Jin immediately went to arrange.

But in about half an hour, Zhang Xuan came over. Jiajing didn't say a word when he saw Zhang Xuan, and said directly: "I can't bear it anymore, Zhang Qing gives me a note and gets rid of Yang Tinghe." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Your Majesty, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and you can't rush everything. ”

Jiajing was angry and didn't speak.

Zhang Xuan pondered the words for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe is above the imperial court, deep-rooted, unshakable, if you want to get rid of Yang Tinghe, you must slowly figure it out, Your Majesty's biggest advantage is the status of the monarch and minister, Your Majesty has one more day on the throne, and the authority will be consolidated, why bother with Yang Tinghe for a short time." Not to mention, in a hurry, Yang Tinghe took a risk, and in a hurry, except for Yang Tinghe, can His Majesty have a candidate for the first assistant? ”

Jiajing said: "Isn't Qing qualified to be the first assistant? ”

Zhang Xuan has said most of these reasons before. However, after Yang Tinghe left office, the question of who would inherit it. This is the first time I have said it.

How to say, although Yang Tinghe is a first-class talent, with the breadth of the Ming Dynasty, there are a lot of talents at the same level as Yang Tinghe. But Jiajing's command did not. There is only Zhang Xuan in front of him.

Zhang Xuan said: "The minister's stupid qualifications are too shallow, please forgive your majesty." ”

Jiajing waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Xuan knew that Jiajing was not very comfortable in his heart, but he also had to advise Jiajing like this, without him, although Zhang Xuan took refuge in Jiajing, he still had the world in mind, although helping Jiajing deal with Yang Tinghe was speculative, but in his opinion, what Yang Tinghe did was not right, suppressing the young master, so that the mother and son could not recognize each other. Flesh and bone shall not be gathered together.

But Zhang Xuan has also been in the DPRK for a long time, and he has to admit it.

The current cabinet is inseparable from Yang Tinghe.

It's not that Yang Tinghe has monopoly power or anything. And Yang Tinghe's ability to handle national affairs in an orderly manner also has enough prestige to suppress the world's feudal officials. Even if Yang Tinghe is not like this, Yang Tinghe can also be regarded as a capable minister. Therefore, Zhang Xuan wanted to use formal means to let Yang Tinghe go to the throne. It's just that it takes a little longer to operate.

Zhang Xuan left, and Jiajing was alone on the dragon chair, stunned.

Huang Jin's eyes were red, Huang Jin and Jiajing grew up together since childhood, and their affection was extraordinary, far better than the ordinary master-servant relationship, he said: "Slave and maid should be damned, I don't know how to relieve Your Majesty's worries, but the slave and maid think about it, Your Majesty's troubles are Yang Tinghe." As long as His Majesty ordered, the slave maid immediately went to take Yang Tinghe's head. ”

Huang Jin is not what it used to be.

The previous Huang Jin was just a powerless little eunuch, but now Huang Jin has long been under one person, above ten million people, Jiajing handed over the East Factory to him to manage, and after a long time in the East Factory, Huang Jin naturally began to be infected with some of the habits of the East Factory, otherwise the assassin of the minister will never say it.

Jiajing reprimanded Huang Jin and said, "How can you kill the minister without authorization? ”

Although Jiajing said so, this thought was deeply rooted in Jiajing's heart.

However, Jiajing knew that even if he wanted to kill Yang Tinghe, it would not be an easy thing. How so? The difficulty of killing Yang Tinghe lies in the question of how to deal with the aftermath after Yang Tinghe. I am afraid that most civil officials will write against it. Even Zhang Xuan did not agree to do so.

Jiajing planted the sprouts of murder. And Yang Tinghe is also worrying about this matter.

"Shen'er, do you think that with Dongyong's troops, can Annan be destroyed?" Yang Tinghe asked.

The person who knows Dongyong best in the Ming Dynasty is none other than Yang Shen. Therefore, when Yang Tinghe encountered a question about Dongyong, he used to ask Yang Shen to come over to discuss.

Yang Shen was also very surprised, and said: "The development of Dongyong is simply a thousand miles in a day, at least the time when I have the impression that Dongyong will never be able to destroy Annan." ”

Annan's situation can't be concealed from the discerning people at all, Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen can see through it at a glance, in their opinion, Annan is already Dongyong's territory, no matter how much Dongyong hides it, it's useless.

Yang Tinghe said: "To deal with Dongyong, if Shen'er has any ideas, just say it." ”

Yang Shen pondered for a while and said, "Dongyong's development is really beyond the child's expectations. Now there are only two strategies to deal with Dongyong. ”

"First, give up taking Dongyong into your pocket. Treat Dongyong as a vassal state. Just ask him to come to the court every year, and that's it. ”

"It's impossible." Yang Tinghe said. How could Yang Tinghe not think of these problems. In fact, according to Yang Tinghe's meaning, these remote places in Dongyong, if he gave up, he gave up, although he didn't like Zhu Houhuang, and even offended King Yong fiercely in the matter of inheriting the throne, however, Yang Tinghe felt that the current Ming Dynasty was full of holes, and he needed to calm down and repair it slowly, rather than casually going out to fight.

The reason why Yang Tinghe vigorously opposed Zhu Houhuang was that he felt that Zhu Houhuang was restless, and after he came to power, he was afraid that he would raise a large number of soldiers. Looking at Zhu Houhuang's arrival in Dongyong, it can be seen that Dongyong has never been peaceful for a year, and it can be said that there is no war without a year.

But Jiajing didn't think so, he always thought that Zhu Houhuang was a huge threat to him, and the idea of right and wrong was right.

Therefore, Yang Tinghe's thoughts, although his ideas are very important, but the real decisive role is Jiajing itself, Jiajing must destroy King Yong, and there is no good way to stop Yang Tinghe.

"Say, second." Yang Tinghe said.

"Yes." Yang Tinghe agreed, he coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and said, "The first strike is stronger." ”
