"Hmph, Huangkou Xiao'er, you actually want to launch the Southern Tour, and in the name of the Southern Tour, you want to come and cut the domain?"

Nanchang, Ningwangfu.

In the study, King Ning slapped a secret letter on the table and said angrily.

The emperors of previous dynasties have toured the south, not for a simple tour, but also to inspect the world. Among them, there are many cases of suppressing local forces in the name of the Southern Tour.

Therefore, whenever the emperor launched a southern tour, at least there were thousands of vehicles and ships, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the manpower and material resources used were enough to start a war.

From this, it can be seen what is the reason for the southern tour.

As for the situation of the fish and dragon white clothes, it is impossible at all.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty originally built a canal to connect the north and south in order to tour the world in the south and strengthen the ruling power of the dynasty, and even built a canal to connect the north and south.

It's just that in this way, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty was consumed too much, not only did it not strengthen its rule, but it allowed local forces to see the opportunity, and all the gates rebelled one after another.

The Li family in the Tang Dynasty was only one of the original local gate valves.

Therefore, the emperor's southern tour can easily provoke local rebellions, and the southern tour of Emperor Zhengde has also been secretly prepared.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, if there is no news from Mr. Tang, I'm afraid this king will still be kept in the dark."

King Ning turned his gaze and thanked Zhou Xingzu, who was sitting quietly in the study.

"Eating the king's money, loyal to the king, this is what subordinates should do."

Zhou Xingzu stood up and acted like the leader of a spy organization, but with the demeanor of a celebrity.

King Ning relied on his seniority, and he was full of disdain for Emperor Zhengde, and called Huangkou Xiao'er, but he respected Zhou Xingzu very much, and he didn't act like a monarch at all, and he was a disciple when talking.

"What advice does Mr. Tang have for the situation in the world now?"

King Ning asked sincerely.

Zhou Xingzu got up and responded: "When Emperor Zhengde discussed the matter of the southern tour, he could use the name of the southern tour to raise troops to repeat the Jingjing. ”

His answer made King Ning's eyes light up.

Emperor Zhengde is now preparing for a southern tour, and there is no doubt that he is preparing to take him under the knife.

At that time, the emperor led hundreds of officials and troops to Jiangnan, and with the soldiers and horses in his hands and the name of orthodoxy, I am afraid that none of the officials in the states of Jiangnan would dare to rebel. Maybe before they rebelled, Emperor Zhengde dismissed them from their official positions with a fluttering word.

After this wave of purging, King Ning's preparation and accumulation of more than ten years will also be empty. At that time, if you start an uprising again, you will definitely be defeated and won, and you will be dead.

In the final analysis, when you raise an army to rebel, you will be taken by surprise.

And the timing proposed by Zhou Xingzu was just in the most appropriate position.

The people of the world, how do they know the deep meaning of Emperor Zhengde's southern tour. They only understood that the emperor's southern tour cost a lot of money, and the state capitals he passed through could not help but bear the food and grass of the accompanying army, and even more so, the related labor.

As for martial law and road closures, it is even more commonplace.

In the name of the emperor's southern tour, officials who added miscellaneous taxes and embezzled silver taels were absolutely rare.

In the final analysis, the expenses of the imperial court will be borne by the people of Li in the end.

I don't know how many people will be ruined and starved to death on the streets. Therefore, the people are definitely the most opposed to the emperor's southern tour. When the time comes, you only need to shout, and the Qingjun side will be justified, and after the war, it will be easier to receive the support of the people.

"Okay, Mr. Tang has a deep understanding of the situation in the world, and he can be called a peerless national warrior. If the great cause is successful, Mr. Tang should be the first credit. King Ning clapped his hands excitedly and praised, feeling that this strategy had completely spoken to his heart.

Zhou Xingzu's face was not shocked, he didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, he looked like a god, and he didn't know the details of his brother, and he really thought that he was reincarnated.

In fact, he just happened to remember some history.

If I remember correctly, the rebellion of King Ning in history also happened to take the opportunity of Zhengde's southern tour to raise troops under the banner of the Qing monarch's side. In fact, Zhou Xingzu just told him in advance about the plan that King Ning had set in history.

Combined with the current situation, Zhou Xingzu found that there was nothing wrong with this plan, and the timing of the incident was very appropriate. This is also the reason why, in the early days of King Ning's rebellion, the rebels were able to march all the way.

King Ning will be defeated, but in fact, it will be defeated by the combat effectiveness of the army.

If in real history, Zhou Xingzu really can't solve this problem in a short time.

But in a martial arts world, he is confident that he can change the situation and solve all problems with a crushing attitude.

Now that the overall policy has been decided, the next step is some trivial concrete steps.

King Ning hurriedly recruited Li Shishi, Wang Lun and other strategists and generals to start planning the army.

Zhou Xingzu didn't need to worry about these things, he left the study after saluting, stood in the courtyard, and looked at a peach blossom tree: "King Ning's love value, it's only 88 now, is it because I haven't done enough?" ”

"Maybe after he succeeds in the incident, the love value can rush to 90?"

"Or will you never be able to get to 90?"

Zhou Xingzu sighed, he can be regarded as having seen what it means to be unpredictable.

In the face of an ambitious vassal king, the love value is too difficult to brush.

Isn't it time for a simpler approach?

A prompt sounded out of Zhou Xingzu's system, the seventh ring plot mission has been triggered, and that is [King Ning's Incident]!

……

Forbidden City, Taihe Palace.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning fell before Danbi.

With the bell ringing, the civil and military officials held the tooth card, bowed their heads and stepped into the hall, and the Jin Wuwei on duty, holding a halberd, stood outside the hall.

Liu Jin, the great eunuch of the palm print, with a group of little eunuchs, stood beside the dragon throne and shouted at the top of his voice: "Meet the hundred officials and welcome Your Majesty to the court." ”

"Meet my emperor."

After one hundred and three knocks, Emperor Zhengde was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne, which was a veritable true son.

He raised his hand and said, "All Aiqing is exempt." “

The civil and military officials got up and entered the process of questioning.

Next, there will be something to be done, hundreds of officials will discuss it, and small matters will be decided by the cabinet ministers, and major matters will make Emperor Zhengde make a decision.

According to the perfect cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, whether there is an emperor or not, the court can still turn up, maybe it can be even better. However, Emperor Zhengde can have a certain amount of decision-making power, which shows that he has mastered the real power in the court.

Suddenly, during the break in the court meeting, Emperor Zhengde spoke up: "Zhongqing, I want to tour the south and inspect the world, is it okay?" ”

The emperor has rarely taken the initiative to raise things at court meetings, but he often puts forward major events.

The four cabinet ministers glanced at each other, and sure enough, something big was about to happen.

The emperor's southern tour, isn't it just for King Ning?

During this time, Emperor Zhengde's frequent actions in the dark had already been preparing for the southern tour. Although it is extremely confidential and ordinary officials do not know about it, it is impossible for them, as cabinet ministers, not to be aware of the slightest rumor.
