Chapter 127: Changing the Outcome
At that time, the victory was great, the whole country celebrated, and King Yan'an and his party were escorted into Beijing.
The fate of the crime of treason can be imagined.
It was inevitable to raid the house, the Yan'an palace was withdrawn, and the wealth was filled into the treasury. The direct line of King Yan'an was all beheaded. His relatives were also exiled to Lingnan and never returned to Beijing. Even the county lord of Changning, who had been married for many years, hanged himself.
It is said that King Yan'an raised his head to the sky and howled before his head was cut off, and he was righteous and stern.
said that he did everything he could, he did his best to resist the enemy, and did his best. In order to dispel the doubts of the royal family, he sent his only sister-in-law to the capital, but killed his son. It's him who is sorry for his son! He is indeed worthy of his ancestors. But it was not because of the rebellion, but because he failed to fulfill the great wish of the ancestors, failed to completely drive away the Tartars, and regretted that the incumbent was not right-hearted, blinded by interests, and one day he would suffer the consequences. Da Zhou will be defeated! The fortunes of the country will decline! The situation is going to be chaotic! The people will suffer! ……
No one knows whether it was a prophecy or a curse, but it was inexplicably seared into the hearts of many people......
On that day, there was a heavy rainstorm in the capital.
However, even though the heavy rain washed away the filth, there was always a trace of blood in the air. For many days, they were all gone.
Rong An remembered that because of his father's great achievements, Zhu Yonghao stayed in her palace several times during that time. He drank a lot every time, let Rong An praise him, let the chamberlain praise him, and he loved to listen to the praise of him.
He said that the plan he had been looking forward to and planning for many years had finally come true. From now on, he has made another political achievement. He wants to become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, and he wants to go down in history forever!
However, under such a festive situation, Zhu Yonghao was always unsteady in the middle of the night. Lamps must be lit in the house, knives must be placed next to the pillow, and soothing soup must be drunk before going to bed. But even so, he had to wake up multiple times a night.
At that time, Rong An just thought that he was exhausted and felt sorry for him, but when he thought about it at the moment, it was a different feeling...... He's scared!
After the king of Yan'an was exterminated, Yu Bohong stayed in Yandi for more than two years, reorganizing and reorganizing the local army. During this period, he also had several confrontations with the Tartars, but although he wanted to fight, the opponents were all tentative confrontations.
The land of Yan'an was stable, and Zhu Yonghao's suspicion as the emperor began to attack again, and he began to worry about Yu Bohong.
The Yu family's military power is getting bigger and bigger, and they are relatives, which makes Zhu Yonghao, who is mediocre in ability but arrogant, a little worried. So Yu Bohong was transferred back to the capital. Yan Andi was taken over by Zhu Yonghao's maternal uncle Yan Cen.
However, it didn't take long for Yan Andi to start to be unpeaceful.
The Tartars went south repeatedly, and they had some scruples at first, but after discovering that although Yan Cen was famous and was from an old noble family, his ability to talk about soldiers on paper was far stronger than the power of conquest, so he was naturally fearless. In a sneak attack, the Tartars directly captured Yan Cen alive and pressed south for hundreds of miles in one go.
Da Zhou finally pacified Yan Andi, and his prestige was in full swing, how could he allow thieves to provoke. Zhu Yonghao declared war on the Tartars, gathered 300,000 troops, and announced the imperial conquest. Subsequently, he took Zhu Yonglin, who had supported him for many years, and a group of henchmen, and went north in high spirits.
Yu Bohong begged to accompany him, but Zhu Yonghao not only refused, but also transferred almost all of his military power.
However, there is a lack of understanding of the enemy's situation and misjudgment; Expecting too much from oneself and having limited abilities; The war of King Yan'an has just ended, and the timing of the resumption of gunsmoke at this moment is not clear, and this status quo is not clear; Coupled with the rush to achieve results, the supply of troops, weapons and materiel is insufficient...... I thought that with ten times the strength of the army, I could fight it quickly.
But the war had only started for more than two months, and the Zhou army was dragged back. Although the number of the opponent is small, the opponent's veteran cavalry is flexible and mobile compared with the infantry of the Zhou army, and has obvious advantages. In addition, there is an advantage in terrain, habits and experience in understanding the Zhou people, and the other party is almost a dozen accurate.
The entire Great Zhou was dragged into the quagmire of war. All the supplies and money flowed into the bottomless pit of the Great War......
In the fourth month of the war, Zhu Yonghao was ambushed, and if it weren't for the protection of a group of dead soldiers, he wouldn't even be able to get out of the encirclement. After finally returning to the camp, he temporarily handed over the army to Zhu Yonglin.
Zhu Yonglin patted his chest and promised to do his best to block the Tartar army and destroy the Tartar army. Zhu Yonghao was seriously injured, hurriedly returned to the DPRK, arrived in Beijing and rescued for half a year, and finally died.
Ronghua became the queen mother, Rongan became the concubine, and the new emperor ascended the throne.
However, the new emperor is young, his power is temporarily hollowed out, and all government affairs are handled by the cabinet, and the queen mother is in sight.
After half a year of war in the north, the Zhou army not only lost more and won less, but also suffered countless casualties, Zhu Yonglin was also repeatedly beaten by the enemy and fled in all directions, and the battle line went further and further south, leaving one joke after another.
Yan'an is devastated, and the people are struggling to make a living. In the hinterland, prices have risen due to years of unresolved wars, increasingly stringent taxes, and a shortage of materials, and public grievances have also accumulated.
How many people began to miss King Yan'an, the land of Yan'an, which had been stable for hundreds of years, the battle line that had never been insurmountable for the Tartar army, and the generous words of King Yan'an before his death. For a while, the doubts about the imperial court became louder and louder.
Zhu Yonglin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent seven groups of people back to Beijing in a row to ask for peace. Ronghua and the Liao family also expressed their support.
The imperial court finally decided to cease the fighting. However, it is the Tartars who do not want to stop at the moment. After these two years, the territory laid down by King Yan'an that day has long been recovered by the Tartars, and it is one step closer. If they want a truce, they naturally have to take advantage of it. So Tartar prescribed a series of conditions that were too much to slap in the face.
Yu Bohong was extremely indignant and once again asked to lead his troops to the battle. This time, it was Ronghua who stopped him.
"Internal and external troubles, dad is here, and the capital can be stable." If he leaves, she, the little emperor, who will guard the Liao family? Who can they rest assured that will guard it?
So, the agreement was signed.
The joke is general, the big country actually has to pay compensation to a bunch of unfed Tartars every year. How many literati hate, how many soldiers are unjust. But it is the people who suffer. The number of people overwhelmed has directly led to rampant banditry and a sharp increase in the number of refugees.
In previous years, when floods and droughts occurred, the imperial court still had enough surplus grain and money to provide disaster relief, but in those years, the treasury was empty and it was really impossible to do it.
I remember that during the most serious period, one stone of ordinary grain also rose from the usual five hundred and seven hundred wen to nearly ten taels of silver. Rice, is completely unaffordable.
What's worse is that the fate of King Yan'an is vivid, and the other three kings of the Great Zhou are all frightened.
In those years, no one dared to be idle, and they expanded their troops in secret, quietly stockpiled grain, and sharpened their knives, in case one day they would end up like King Yan'an......
As a result, the years of Ronghua were not easy.
Although she is still well-dressed and trying to ignore the chaos, the pressure on the court is still coming in waves. In addition, the new emperor, who is unwilling to be overthrown, has also been angry. Rong An has been trying to take care of the two most important people in her life.
The new emperor lost his temper with her in private several times, blaming Ronghua and the first emperor.
The new emperor angrily scolded Zhu Yonghao for acting rashly against King Yan'an, which led to everything that happened uncontrollably afterwards, and only then did he face such a mess after he ascended the throne.
Rong An persuaded at first, but later his son was impatient and drank at her:
"You know what! King Yan'an is not guilty, Zhu Chengyi doesn't have to die, the death of a thousand people is just a good show planned by his father! It was he who personally planned that bloody case! He's the one who started it!
Otherwise, how to force King Yan'an to take the initiative to raise the anti-flag, and how to force the whole Zhou to support him to withdraw the domain. How he gained prestige and made him famous. He did that, just to go down in history, and he was even more afraid that after his death, he would be poked in the back and scolded him for violating Taizu's last wishes, and he was afraid of leaving the stain of his killing of his relatives!
And King Xing, he's a fool! It was useless for him to threaten his father at all, but his father hated this eldest brother who had to be courteous and kind in the order of seniority. There is King Xing, and King Xing is the eternal eldest son of his father's generation! Father used the most perfect method to get rid of this eye-catching eldest brother!
For his own interests, he sent Da Zhou to the war! There is also Tartar, when he heard that he was going to destroy King Yan'an, he naturally raised his arms and shouted long live. King Yan'an, who has been fighting with them for a hundred years, has a deep blood feud, and at this moment, someone is doing it for them, so naturally they are willing to make any documents, and they are willing to send as many confessions and witnesses, so that they can agree to how they cooperate. But at the end of the day? Instead, the Tartars are cheaper! ”
The son spat and slapped off a table of food, and his muscles burst with excitement, and Rong An was stunned at that time. It was only then that she vaguely realized that perhaps she didn't even know much about Zhu Yonghao.
"Mother, people's hearts are sinister, what can you understand if you live under the hypocritical and prosperous appearance?"
The irascible new emperor couldn't get used to seeing anywhere, and the more anxious he was to pro-government, the more dissatisfied he was with Ronghua's slackness and the appearance in the palace.
He proposed pro-government several times, but Ronghua felt that he could wait, and the strength of the Liao family could continue to expand by one or two, so Ronghua pushed it again and again, and failed to give an accurate time.
Later, the new emperor poisoned Ronghua just to quickly seize power, just to hurry up and pro-government......
Tonight, scenes from the past are coming, and Rong An is destined to be sleepless.
The crux of all this is in King Yan'an. No, no, to be precise, it is Zhu Yonghao's plan to get rid of the king.
He rashly upset the situation and led to a situation that went out of control. But he didn't have the ability to clean up the mess, and finally died early. If he really has the ability, he should take power in a dignified manner, how can he come up with a trick.
King Yan'an was wronged, and his retribution happened in the end. Those who had paid for their extermination in the early days were rewarded in some way. The cycle of cause and effect is a report for a report.
So, that's right, Zhu Yonghao shouldn't be the emperor. This person, with low eyes, shows people with the image of a perfect gentleman, but his ability is limited, he is hypocritical and despicable, he is the joint point!
Rong An in the previous life was indeed confused, and today he thought about it from Zhu Chengyi's position, which connected all the things in the past life and this life.
Zhu Chengyi came thousands of miles twice, but it was just a helpless struggle. It's not that he didn't work hard, but he didn't earn it!
King Yan'an had noticed there, so his first trip should have been to find out the biggest threat to Yan'an in person.
Whatever method he used, he got it right. Just as his father hinted, it was Zhu Yonghao who instigated the relationship between the two places.
And Zhu Chengyi's ability and position at the moment are not enough to pull Zhu Yonghao off the crown prince. So all he can do is to destroy the marriage between Zhu Yonghao and the Yu family. In his opinion, his father has the ability, the power of the army, and the trust of the saint, and he is a very dangerous person in the first place.
Once the two families get married, then Zhu Yonghao's strength will rise sharply, and it will be sooner or later to make a move against Yan Andi.
Coupled with the legend of Fengge on Ronghua's body, he targeted the prince and the Yu family.
Rong An thought so.
Zhu Yonghao's final choice of Ronghua was also chosen after many considerations.
The cousin of the Yan family is good, but it doesn't make much sense to kiss and kiss. After all, the queen is from the Yan family, and he is still afraid that the Yan family will abandon him one day?
Although the Chang family is an old nobleman and has many old family connections, it was an earlier relationship. Even if it is deeply entrenched, with the removal of military power, the Chang family has obviously begun to decline.
The Tao family's bachelor's house is really good, and no matter the front or harem, it can help him a lot. However, this choice was not enough to widen the gap between him and his brothers. After all, all the princes have one thing in common: they have no military power. That's out of reach.
In contrast, Ronghua's mother has the connections of the former cabinet elder in her identity, and her father's identity has military power, and she herself has the name of the phoenix body, which is undoubtedly the best choice. Facts have also proved that after the crown princess was determined in his previous life, the gap between Zhu Yonghao and other princes suddenly widened significantly. The eighth prince, who was once regarded as a fierce rival by Zhu Yonghao, has never been able to enter his eyes again......
So Zhu Chengyi has considered it.
That day, he followed Ronghua with the intention of finding the weakness of his father or Ronghua, but he followed the Zhuangzi in the wilderness, and then went up the tree to observe. His clear heart of making trouble is exactly what he wants, so he helped him, and only then did he stink Liao Wenci's reputation overnight and clean up the affairs of the house doctor...... He didn't want the two families to marry more than he did.
At that time, the queen and the crown prince led the planning, so he wanted to make a mess, but he did what he wanted to do again. And he pushed the boat...... He longs for chaos more than himself, and hopes that the prince and the queen will be in trouble.
That's right.
Qingfeng Altar made a few troubles in the crowd, and it was definitely not something that could be done casually under the noses of the Praetorian Guards. Rong An didn't know how he did it before, but now it seems that he has already made arrangements.
Several times, he just happened to find that everything he did could help him. And he is inconvenient to expose, just like drowsiness handed over a pillow, he is stupid and doesn't use it.
So Rong An's previous guess was accurate, and he was just a borrowed hand from him. This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to provide silver and manpower. He is also willing to protect himself, after all, if he is like this, if he dies, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find......
Fortunately, the situation in this life is better than in the previous life.
Rong An poured himself a glass of fruit wine.
Anyway, I have to change the ending of my previous life, and it seems that this cooperation is not bad at the moment. It's also very suitable. At the very least, the goal is aligned.
