Chapter 163: Responding to Change with Change

Zhu Houhuang came to Yang Shen's place. Yang Shenzhen held a book in his hand and read it carefully.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Master Yang, there is news from Beijing. As he spoke, he handed over two letters.

After Yang Shen read Tang Yin's letter to Zhu Houhuang, he pondered for a while, and cut out Yang Tinghe's letter to him. It took a while to come to my senses.

Zhu Houhuang asked: "What should Gu do about King Ning's rebellion?" ”

Yang Shen was a little absent-minded, came back to his senses, and said: "Respond to all changes with the same." ”

"I want to hear about it." Zhu Houhuang asked solemnly.

"Your Highness, peeping into the forbidden world has always been a great sin. His Highness has a close relationship with His Majesty, which is a blessing for His Highness. But I don't think that if you peep into the forbidden, you won't be taboo. There was once a person who committed a big crime, and he had a wide range of connections, and he found many people to write and plead for mercy. The emperor finally nodded and pardoned him. But the decree did not come down, but he wrote thanksgiving. As a result, the emperor was furious and sentenced to death. ”

Zhu Houhuang immediately felt a cold sweat coming out of his back.

Zhu Houhuang can have today, and Emperor Zhengde is the biggest supporter. Without the support of Emperor Zhengde, public opinion in Shilin, and all kinds of pressure, Zhu Houhuang's Yongguo plan would have been stillborn. Therefore, he must be cautious about matters related to righteousness, even a little.

Yang Shen said: "Although now Ouchi seems to be a sieve. A lot of the news can't be kept secret. Your Majesty also knows this. But where and to whom this news has spread, Your Majesty does not know. Now, if His Highness makes a move, wouldn't he not be a self-confessor. In that case, there will inevitably be a gap between His Highness and His Majesty. Not good for His Highness. Therefore, it is best to respond to all changes without change. ”

"And King Ning rebelled, His Royal Highness is also a vassal king, he is already in a place of suspicion, if he doesn't do well, the more he does, the more suspicions he will have. Calming down is the best way to do it. ”

Zhu Houhuang seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, and said: "Then the matter of Beigang, put it aside for a while." ”

"No, Your Highness doesn't understand what I mean, it's not that Your Highness doesn't do anything, but that Your Highness does it according to the original plan. It's as if it hadn't happened. Yang Shen said.

Zhu Houhuang has some understanding, about King Ning's rebellion, King Yong's identity is embarrassing, and he does more wrong, so the last way is to treat it as if it didn't happen, I don't know.

Zhengde wanted to press this matter quietly, regardless of Wang Zhe's death, whether it was really King Ning's doing. Zhengde hopes that this incident will not cause too many waves.

Therefore, this matter, before King Ning officially raised his troops, would be turbulent and unprosperous. It's easy for Zhu Houhuang to pretend to be stupid.

It's just that no matter how he pretends to be stupid, Zhu Houhuang always has to face the impact of King Ning's rebellion.

Zhu Houhuang asked, "After King Ning raised his army, what should Gu do?" ”

Yang Shen said: "Enter Beijing." ”

Entering Beijing and abandoning the foundation of Yongguo may be a problem for others, but for Zhu Houhuang, it is an excellent choice.

To be honest, there are many people who don't like Zhu Houhuang. But it does not include Zhengde.

As the emperor's instinct, Zhengde was a little uncomfortable with Zhu Houhuang's current position. However, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde has long understood that there are many things that make him uncomfortable.

Do you really think that when you become an emperor, you can do whatever you want? Hehe.

Zhengde and Zhu Houhuang are like-minded people, Zhengde wholeheartedly wants to expand the territory and leave a British name for future generations. And Zhu Houhuang is his ally, whether it is the life-and-death friendship with Dayan Khan, or the mind of Zhu Houhuang and Zhengde to expand their territory wholeheartedly, it is almost exactly the same.

Zhengde knows everything Zhu Houhuang did. I acquiesced in my heart. In Zhengde, at least in the Dongyong area, during his reign, it was collected as the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is his merit.

As for the future, Zhu Houhuang will sit on a big backlash. Hmph, it is precisely because Zhengde knows the details of Zhu Houhuang, with Zhu Houhuang's people less than 100,000 strong men and less than 10,000 soldiers, he wants to fight back. also looks up to Zhu Houhuang.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang is very sure that as long as Zhengde is in power, Zhu Houhuang will be fine no matter how he enters Beijing. In his mind, he felt that he should also return to Beijing more often.

Feelings are all dealt with, no matter how good the feelings were before. If you don't contact it for a long time, it will become thin. Even if it is to maintain the relationship with Zhengde, it is not bad to return to Beijing a lot.

As soon as he figured this out, Zhu Houhuang had no doubts in his heart. said: "Since this is the case, Lone is relieved." Zhu Houhuang put his mind at ease and immediately told Yang Shen about going to Beigang to take charge.

Zhu Houhuang went to Beigang to take charge, not only because of his own problem, but also because of the northward shift of the military center of gravity.

On land, the main combat force of Yongguo, that is, Zhu Houhuang's more than 1,000 personal soldiers. These more than 1,000 personal soldiers practiced every day, with enough food and clothing. I have also seen several battles, which can be regarded as a hundred victories, and the weapons and armor are all prepared inside.

If you put it in the north, you can also get elite people. Although there are few people, there are enough auxiliary troops to fight a big battle of tens of thousands of people.

In the era of cold weapons, the people who really fought to the death on the battlefield were only eleven of the total number of troops, and even smaller than the number of eleven.

These things must be explained clearly to Yang Shen.

Although after the pro-soldiers went north, there were still so-called county soldiers in various places. But in Yang Shen's view, the so-called county soldiers are simply the people and the brave, and they can't be relied on at all. But fortunately, Beigang is far away from the army on land, but there is a waterway to communicate, even if there is something, send someone to ask for help, within a few days, you can return to help, just pay a little attention to the arrangement of the county soldiers.

After Zhu Houhuang finished communicating with Yang Shen, he was about to leave. Yang Shen suddenly said: "Your Highness, there is one thing that I have to let you know. Yang Shen handed Yang Tinghe the letter to Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang took it and was stunned. Yang Tinghe wrote hundreds of words on it, mainly to introduce the changes in the political situation when Yang Shen left Beijing. The fact that King Ning was about to rebel and kill Wang Zhe, the governor of Jiangxi, was the biggest storm in the political arena this year. This big turmoil even affected Yang Tinghe's measurement of acres of land and liquidation of people in Zhili.

Although it is still under secrecy, Zhengde has also officially stopped the measurement of acres.

King Ning is the vassal king of Taizu, and he has been guarding Jiangxi for several generations. How much power is there in Jiangxi, and how much storm will he set off if he wants to rebel. Stability prevails at this time. Even Zhengde didn't want to continue to hold on at this time.

When measuring the acres of land, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it almost ended without a problem.

Maybe it will be able to continue after the rebellion of King Ning is quelled. However, Yang Tinghe, who is well versed in political methods, knows that it is almost impossible to measure the acres of land again. Therefore, it is no longer necessary for Yang Shen to stay in Yongguo. Yang Tinghe was trying to figure out a way to let Yang Shen go back.

There is also a matter of avoiding suspicion, because there is a rebellion against the vassal king, he is the first assistant of the court, and his son is the chief of the vassal king, which is really not good.

After Zhu Houhuang saw all this, he was almost upset in his heart. The first thing to do is to win people, and Zhu Houhuang no longer understands this truth, because the reality has completely exhausted Zhu Houhuang's education.

Talent is not a cabbage, you want it.

For example, Yang Shen, it seems that Yang Shen didn't do anything at all, but unconsciously, Yang Shen sorted out the bureaucratic system of Yongguo for Zhu Houhuang. Establish a system. Tang Yin can't do this.

Gain Tang Yin is just a talent, although he is talented, but his talent is not above politics. And Yang Shen is basically the head of the Central Party School, and he has the best understanding of the operation of a political power.

And there are a few talents like Yang Shen, how many people. Without Yang Shen, how could Zhu Houhuang combine his political ideas with the reality of this era. Come up with policies that are not only in line with Zhu Houhuang's ideas, but also understandable.

At least Zhu Houhuang can't do this, for example, Zhu Houhuang wants to encourage navigation, but how to break down the encouragement of navigation into government decrees and issue them, Zhu Houhuang can't do it.

As soon as Yang Shen left, the impact on Zhu Houhuang was not as simple as breaking an arm.
