After inquiring about the situation of the Jingshi, Chu Yi sat there steadily, and the eunuch standing opposite him respectfully saluted Chu Yi and said, "Overseer, before leaving, Your Majesty told the slave maid to tell the Overseer!" ”

Glancing up at the eunuch, Chu Yi bowed his head and said, "Oh, I don't know if Your Majesty has anything to tell this governor?" ”

The eunuch bowed and said: "Your Majesty asked the slave maid to tell the overseer that if the matter is almost settled, please return to Beijing as soon as possible, Your Majesty misses the overseer!" ”

Chu Yi took a deep breath, arched his hand in the direction of Jingshi and said: "Your Majesty's love, Chu Yi is very grateful in his heart, if it happens, he will return to Beijing to meet His Majesty as soon as possible!" ”

He nodded to Cao Shaoqin and said, "Cao Shaoqin, please ask a few angels to rest first, and wait for this governor to personally write a secret letter to the Son of Heaven!" ”

The eunuchs bowed to Chu Yi and followed Cao Shaoqin away.

Fang Li and the others looked at Chu Yi with joy on their faces, and they heard Fang Li say to Chu Yi: "Overseer, Your Majesty has a queen, this is a great joy!" ”

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, once the prince is born, some people will have nothing to attack Your Majesty, let alone think about changing the world." ”

Tang Yin and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Chu Yi's words, and looked at Chu Yi in amazement, only to hear Tang Yin say: "Overseer, no one really wants to change the world!" ”

Chu Yi sneered and said, "Your Majesty, once something unspeakable happens, what do you say will happen?" ”

Several people looked at each other, their eyes showed a little frightened, Fang Li exclaimed: "If Your Majesty has no queen and there is something unbearable to say, then it is inevitable to support the new monarch, the first emperor only has His Majesty's son alive, so it can only be selected among the close branches of the royal family, the generation of the first emperor, only the Xingxian King has a branch recently, and the Xingxian King has two sons under his knees, if nothing else, then the new monarch will be born in the branch of the Xingxian King." ”

Saying that, Fang Li's eyes flashed with a cold color and said: "If the line of King Xingxian ascends to the throne, it will definitely wipe out the power left by His Majesty in the inner court, and the Overseer will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of the new monarch!" ”

Tang Yin said: "The new monarch is not unavoidable! ”

Fang Li sneered: "The new monarch will naturally reuse the overseer when he ascends the throne, but the more this is the case, the more it shows that the new monarch will take the initiative to supervise it, that is the inner court, which is directly related to the safety of the Son of Heaven, if it is not in the hands of the new monarch himself, I am afraid that the new monarch will not be able to eat and sleep." ”

Qi Hu, who was standing on the side, said: "If there is a son today, Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, with Your Majesty's importance to the Overseer, in the next few decades, the Inner Court will still be the Overlord's world." ”

Chu Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, no matter what, Your Majesty will be the greatest joy for us and others, as long as you do things with peace of mind." ”

Bang, in a study, I saw a fine official kiln porcelain vase being kicked to pieces, and King Ning, who was dressed in a python suit, said angrily: "Zhu Houzhao is a child, there is a queen, God has no eyes!" ”

In the study, the strategist Liu Yangzheng stroked his beard and looked at the angry King Ning, and waited until King Ning calmed down a little before he spoke: "Your Royal Highness, and calm your anger, now it's just that the queen is happy, if the queen is a princess, the position of the East Palace is still vacant!" ”

King Ning shook his head and said: "Sir, you should know why this king is angry, after our efforts over the years, there have long been rumors in this land south of the Yangtze River, the Son of Heaven has no virtue, and he is guilty of heaven, so that there is no queen, this is the biggest stain on Zhengde, and it is also a big advantage that this king can get the people's desire by raising his army." ”

For the throne, King Ning can be said to have begun to make various preparations many years ago, and a few years ago, he even ordered people to spread rumors in the south of the Yangtze River that the Son of Heaven was immoral and was convicted of heaven.

The folk people are most interested in all kinds of royal rumors, and Zhu Houzhao is indeed childless for a long time, although it is just a rumor, but in the eyes of those small people, if a person has no queen, even if it is the Son of Heaven, even if it is a rumor, it will be rumored to be true.

It is very important to know the aspirations of the people, especially when it comes to the struggle of the world, even if it is a person as high as King Ning, he may not take those ordinary people to heart on weekdays, but he also knows that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Once the people think that the Son of Heaven has no way, if someone rises up and shouts and rebels, it may not be impossible to fool a group of people for their use.

This is what King Ning planned, but now that the news of the queen's pregnancy has spread, I believe that it will not be long before the rumors that King Ning spent a lot of effort to gradually accept the people in this land south of the Yangtze River will be self-defeating.

The aspirations of the people of Jiangnan, for King Ning, are no less than tens of thousands of soldiers.

Those who win the hearts of the people can be like a bamboo, and the enemy army will fall from the wind, if they are not popular, there will be enemies everywhere, and it will be difficult to move an inch.

Li Shishi's eyes narrowed and said: "Your Highness can rest assured, these days, many wealthy gentry and families in the south of the Yangtze River are secretly supporting His Highness to raise troops." As long as you get the help of these Jiangnan clans, Your Highness doesn't have to care about the hearts of the people. ”

This is good news, hearing Li Shishi say that many big clans in Jiangnan are willing to support him to raise troops, King Ning's face couldn't help but show a little excitement.

Almost half of the wealth, material resources, and manpower of Jiangnan are in the hands of these big clans, and the Ming Jingshi is located in the north, and the main energy of the imperial court is also in the northern border, which naturally makes the court's control of the south not as good as the north.

If it is said that the imperial court controls the south as it controls the northern land, even if these wealthy families, gentry and magnates no matter how bold they are, they will never dare to do anything to besiege and kill the tax collectors of the imperial court.

Taking a deep breath, King Ning sat down and looked at Li Shishi and the others: "The two gentlemen still have to worry a lot, since these big clans choose to support this king, then let them show some sincerity, if he wins the world, he will not hesitate to reward." ”

Li Shishi arched his hand and said: "What His Highness said is very true, as long as these big clans are willing to help His Highness, whether it is grain, armor or even soldiers, it will not be a problem, with the support of the wealth of Jiangnan, His Highness can definitely arm an elite army in a short period of time, and it will be like a bamboo to enter the Beijing Division." ”

With a narrowing of his eyes, King Ning frowned and said: "Speaking of the Beijing Division, the spies we sent to the Beijing Division have news that the reorganization of the Beijing camp has been carried out to such an extent that this king does not want to kill all the way to the city of Beijing at that time, and as a result, he will attack the capital city with neat armor and solid armor." ”

Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng glanced at each other, Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Back to Your Highness, this matter is in charge of the minister, and the reorganization of the Beijing camp is personally presided over by Chu Yi, the chief of the ceremonial supervisor and the chief of the imperial horse supervisor, and it is expected to form an eighteen regiment battalion!" ”

"What, the Eighteenth Regiment Battalion?"

Since King Ning wanted to rebel, it was naturally impossible for him to be unclear about the deployment of the Jingshi troops.

In the early years of Zhengde, the Beijing camp was reorganized into 12 regiments and battalions, and there were only 12 regiments and battalions when it was full.

Among them, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, in fact, those who can really go into battle, the 12th regiment and battalion add up to only 50,000 or 60,000 people.

This can be seen from the soldiers and horses that the Beijing division was able to use when Lu Wenyang raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch.

Even so, the people of Jingying were already King Ning's henchmen, and now Liu Yangzheng actually told him that the reorganization of Jingying would actually form an eighteenth regiment battalion.

A regimental battalion is 10,000 people, and eighteen regimental battalions, that is, 180,000 people, if all of them are young and strong, even if they are all recruits, 180,000 soldiers, plus the danger of the capital, just thinking about it, King Ning can't help but sweat on his forehead.

"God-damned eunuch, is he crazy, can the princes of the court and the court let this eunuch act recklessly, the treasury is empty, how will he set up a capital camp, how to support nearly 200,000 soldiers."

King Ning almost roared.

He privately raised an army of only 20,000 or 30,000 people, which made it difficult for the royal treasury to support it, so he had to exploit the people of Nanchang.

The imperial court is indeed supported by state taxes, but the treasury is not abundant, and the consumption of 180,000 troops is not a year or two, but must be fed all the time, which is definitely a heavy burden for the imperial court, and it will crush the finances of the imperial court.

With a light cough, Liu Yangzheng glanced at King Ning and said, "Has Your Highness forgotten the massive gold and silver wealth obtained by Chu Yi's eunuch several times by robbing his family?" ”

King Ning snorted coldly and said: "How can this king not know, doesn't it mean that part of it belongs to the household department, and part of it goes into the royal treasury, according to this king's understanding of civil and military officials, it is absolutely impossible for them to supply the army for a long time, not to mention that the imperial court also needs gold and silver to govern the place, as for the gold and silver that have entered the royal treasury, will Zhengde Xiaoer still take it out of the inner treasury?" ”

In order to seize the throne, King Ning transferred millions of taels of silver from the private treasury to raise private soldiers.

Treat others with himself, so King Ning didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao would take out the gold and silver that had entered the royal treasury to support Chu Yi to support the Jingying army.

Liu Yangzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Back to the prince, the news from our people that this time the army was reorganized, and the imperial court took out as much as five million taels of silver, of which the household gritted its teeth and parted it, and the Son of Heaven also allocated a part of it from the inner treasury......"

"Bang!"

King Ning slapped on the table, and shouted angrily: "The civil and military officials misunderstood me, the righteous child misunderstood me, and the eunuch misunderstood me!" ”

"Your Highness is angry, the princes of the court are forced to support Chu Yi's fierce power, and Zhu Houzhao is with Chu Yi's monarchs and ministers, just like one person, but His Highness has the support of the Jiangnan clan, what is there to fear!"
