Chapter 164: Acquaintance Hu Yan is worried
Yi Chengjin's temper is not for no reason.
In the past two days, he looked at the list compiled by Zheng Kuan, and the nails that were buried before were old and dead. In addition to the two in the prince's east palace, there is also a eunuch and his apprentice in the imperial horse prison, and the rest are inconspicuous, and many ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty have stayed in Nan and have not followed, not to mention the eunuchs in the original palace.
"If there are no people available, won't you send in some new people?"
Zheng Kuan refused to answer this question in his heart: Finding His Royal Highness is only a matter of these two months, so many years ago, everyone's task was mainly to find people, and the old master didn't speak, who would dare to develop new members, doesn't that expose the fact that the old master is still alive?
This side has just finished scolding Zheng Kuan, and there is a letter that the two groups of people in Qionglong Mountain have collapsed, and they took the lead in refusing to go north, including Zheng Kuan's father Zheng Qia.
Hu Yanjin shook his head secretly: You have only changed your surname to Zhu for a few days? This is also too urgent, the current state is only suitable for adjustment and waiting, there are fewer and fewer people towards the Jianwen Dynasty, and you still have to roast the rest of the people on the fire......
Yi Chengjin read the worry in Hu Yanjin's eyes, he also calmed down, went over to help Zheng Kuan up, and sighed:
"Don't blame me, I'm a little anxious, your father's business shouldn't be on your head. Zheng Kuan, you say, what should we do next? β
Zheng Kuan looked at Yi Chengjin's face and hesitated: "Now let's start by cultivating our own manpower." Today, Huyan has reminded me that Yaju can no longer enter outsiders, and this place must be used as our stronghold......"
"Yes, it's a relatively remote location, but it's in the middle of town. According to what you said, find more people, these people must be able to restrain them. The people who come from the vault are also arranged by you. β
Yi Chengjin looked at Hu Yanjin and asked, "What is the movement of the imperial grandson?" β
"Nothing special. After the winter solstice, the New Year's Day is approaching, and the spring break is twenty days before and after, which is the most idle time for the imperial court. In the palace as usual, the day before the beginning of spring, outside the Dongzhi Gate to welcome the spring, all the honors, ministers, palaces, and samurai all go to the spring field to run horses. β
"yes, how did I forget this activity during the break?" Yi Chengjin clapped his hands and smiled:
"Huyan, you always surprise me. That being the case, today I would like to reveal to you the plan that I have agreed with my stepfather, and that our first action will be to run a horse in the spring field! β
Hu Yanjin, Lin Longfeng, and Zheng Kuan glanced at each other: I just said that I was in a hurry, and I am going to take action?
"Now, under the banner of the Jianwen Dynasty, it is too early to recruit troops and make a name for itself. But we can find a pawn and let us justifiably snare the protΓ©gΓ©s. God bless my father, just this man appeared. That is the sixth grandson of the crown princess, Zhu Zhanpei. β
Zhu Zhanpei? Hu Yanjin was shocked, he hadn't found out yet, whether it was the Sixth Emperor Sun Zhu Zhanpei or the Seventh Emperor Sun Zhu Zhanpei, who was Shi Niang's biological son, but now he wanted to use this person as a chess piece......
Yi Chengjin said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Sixth Emperor Sun still has a little relationship with me, my stepmother is his aunt, we have had a lot of contact since childhood, and it is easier to gain his trust." At this time, his identity has changed, and it is a good time to intervene. β
Seeing that all three of them were thinking, he said:
"I plan to send Lin Longfeng to his side, so that it will be easier to control Zhu Zhanpei. He is sixteen years old this year, and after the New Year's Day, he will announce that he will be crowned the king of Yueshun, and he will be allowed to go out of the palace to open a palace and build a government, and it is inevitable to recruit guards and chief guards. Long Feng has served in the military department of the Southern Capital, so he should be taken a fancy to him. β
Lin Longfeng hugged his fists and said, "But it's up to the master's arrangement." β
Leaving the bamboo forest Yaju, Lin Longfeng was driving the carriage, and Hu Yan was talking without a word, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind the car, and it was Zheng Kuan who chased after him. The two of them winked at each other and drove the carriage into the woods by the roadside.
"What's going on?" Hu Yanjin poked his head out of the car and asked.
Zheng Kuan's face was not good-looking: "Private matter, I want to talk to you." β
"Get in the car, it's cold outside."
Zheng Kuan got into the car and was silent for a while before saying, "You also saw it today, His Royal Highness is extremely dissatisfied with our father and son. β
"Hey, he's in a hurry, don't take it to heart......" Lin Longfeng has always been a person with a generous heart.
"No, our father and son are also extremely dissatisfied with him!" Zheng Kuan said indignantly: "My father sent me a letter asking me to do my best to assist him, that is to prove that our Zheng family is loyal to Emperor Jianwen, not how optimistic we are about him. β
Hu Yanjin and Lin Longfeng were silent. They are the second generation of fugitives, but they grew up in the Yongle Dynasty, they have their own outlook on life, and they are even more eager to have their own life.
Hu Yanjin said slowly: "Mr. Wu once said that they abandoned life and death and followed bravely for the sake of the country. Only when the foundation of the country is stable and the people are free from war and chaos can the society have a chance to develop and the country become prosperous. Now, it is still the world of the Zhu family, and Daming is a little more prosperous than twenty years ago, isn't this exactly what they want? β
"That's a nice thing to say! Your dad is for a bad breath in his chest! Zheng Kuan couldn't be angry and scolded him.
Hu Yanjin lowered his head, looked at his hands that had nowhere to go, and said helplessly: "I will persuade him when he comes." β
"I can't persuade you." Zheng Kuan said coldly: "Your father is determined to win this time, I'm afraid that even you, the son, don't know it...... Or, he wanted to leave a bloodline of your Huyan family and didn't count you. β
Hu Yanjin was shocked, he knew that Zheng Kuan had something to say. Zheng Kuan is a few years older than them, and when they were in Qionglong, they didn't interact much, and he and Lin Longfeng got closer.
When Zheng Kuan saw Hu Yanjin's expression, he knew that he didn't know, and his anger subsided a little, and he sighed and said: "Do you still remember Tang Sai'er in Putai, Shandong Province in the eighteenth year of Yongle, before Emperor Yongle moved the capital?" β
"The enchantress?" Lin Longfeng asked.
"What enchantress? If you can't catch people, you will say that they are demon girls. Emperor Yongle killed so many Buddhist and Taoist women, but he didn't catch Tang Sai'er. But General Wu found her. In the past two years, Emperor Yongle was busy fighting Mongolia, and Tang Sai'er quietly returned to Shandong from Jiangsu. β
Hu Yanjin really didn't expect it, he thought that his father was just shouting indignantly, but he didn't expect him to hide such a card:
Tang Sai'er rebelled from one or two thousand people to the last uprising, although she was suppressed by Emperor Yongle in only one month, she became the mother of Buddha in the hearts of the people.
"Use Tang Sayer to call on the homeless to revolt? Divert the tiger from the mountain, or take advantage of the fire to rob ......" Hu Yanjin showed a painful expression, gritted his teeth and said: "That will kill more innocent people!" β
Lin Longfeng patted his head and suddenly realized:
"Why are we the only ones doing such a big thing? It turns out that what we are doing is another line, helping His Royal Highness to dismantle the courtiers from the inside, and my generals will force the palace from the outside. β
"No, I'm going to persuade her to give up." Hu Yanjin said resolutely.
"Your father, you old stubborn, already have a plan, how can he give up so easily?" Zheng Kuan scoffed, although he also hoped in his heart to be able to resolve it like this.
"No, I'm not persuading him, I'm going to find Tang Sai'er!"
Zheng Kuan looked at him seriously and said, "Now that the snow has closed the mountain, you can't find anyone when you go." If you really want to, I'm willing to find out for you. β
"Ah Kuan, good brother! Don't worry, I'll go with Huyan. β
Lin Longfeng happened to sit between the two, and he used his arm to climb Huyan and Ah Kuan's shoulders.
All three laughed.
