Chapter 202: The Final Truth

Zhang Anshi smiled from ear to ear.

300,000 taels... Is it much?

A lot, of course!

But... The benefits are even more amazing!

So Zhang Anshi said: "That's it... It is still more reliable to see that Taifu, if you find other young masters, or other Taifu, Shaobo, and various Tatar princes, it may be possible to finalize it with 100,000 taels. It's just that what I Zhang Anshi want to do is to be cautious, this

A Taifu is to do things first and then give money, which is different from others. Only if we take you down, he will accept the cash, and the deposit, but only 10,000 taels. I just like people like that! "

After a pause, he said with a bright face: "I can't imagine it, you think that you have entered my Ming Dynasty, you can deceive people's hearts, you can bewitch people, you can bewitch the public, how could you have thought... The real enemy of the Ming Dynasty is in the Nanjing Domain, inside my Ming Dynasty, but you Tatar lackey, again

How could they have thought that the enemy of the Tatars was in Monan, and it was also within them. "

"You think that you serve the Tatars, and the Tatars are of the same mind as you, but have you ever thought that the Tatars are not a whole? Here's ...... There are people from all departments, everyone has their own thoughts, let alone 300,000 taels, even if it is 100,000 taels or 50,000 taels, there are people fighting

I rushed to sell the surplus. "

Scholar: "..."

The scholar's face became more and more miserable.

He had thought about the many possibilities of his own identity, and almost all his reflections were on himself.

Is it unreliable to like the person you send out, or is it ...... What kind of horses did he show.

But I only thought that Zhang Sidao asked people to go to Xiaomo, but they only went to Xiaomo, and they did the same thing as what I am doing now.

Zhang Sidao happily continued: "It's still just that! The 800,000 taels are actually just his life money, and his life is worth the price in your eyes

Trends, in the future, are for you: Xiao Ming's use. "

The scholar's eyes showed a hint of sweetness, and he said with a hot face: "Who is Wu Ju then?"

Speaking of the Tatar Ming Dynasty, there are really very few, when the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the official position of the Han Dynasty was small, and the Ming Dynasty and the Taishi were as angry as if they wanted money.

Previously, the Northern Yuan Dynasty was united into two divisions, Tatar and Warat, in order to win over various tribes, almost every tribal leader was a Taishi not a Ming Dynasty, if he was a multi-division, multi-Fu or something, he would feel embarrassed when he walked out of the door.

Zhang Sidao was very satisfied with the scholar's expression, and said with a smile: "It's to tell him."

"There are only two people who really know who you are."

The scholar said: "This is the Tatar Khan and the Taishi Arutai. As for others, they may know some of your whereabouts and identities......"

With that, I happily closed my eyes and tried to remember something.

Zhang Sidao looked at me and said, "He used to guess, he thinks that there are only two people who know his identity, but he has thought about it, those seven people ......... Will he talk to someone about him when he is drinking, and he thinks that we must be tight-lipped, but there is none?

I thought about it, the lower nobles of the Tatars knew more or less, and he felt that revealing his identity was a matter of life and death, but had he ever thought about these two people who knew his identity...... But it may only be regarded as a talking point. "

Zhang Sidao smiled, in fact, I know that the other party is a stupid person, and there are very few things, as long as one point is clear.

That's just human nature, his life and death are at stake, and it has nothing to do with his master?

Drink a drink and brag about it, and you may sell him!

If these masters of his are really cautious in their words and deeds, they will be driven back to Monan and graze cattle outside the small desert for a living?

The scholar sighed: "So, he knows that you are troublesome, but ...... Actually, I only know a little: a small overview. "

Up to now, Zhang Sidao said calmly: "Yes, what this Ming told me is that he is in good health, coughs often, and set off from Mo Nan to come to Nanjing. Oh, and I know that he likes to wear Confucian clothes......... All that amount of information, in fact...... only

Without those clues, it was only a matter of time before his whereabouts were revealed. "

The scholar raised his head and thought hard, and then I laughed miserably and said, "800,000 taels, haha, it's just for 800,000 taels...... People can't be short-sighted to that extent! With only 800,000 taels, you will miss someone like you...... What you have brought for us,

It is 800,000 taels of silver, and the loss that can be caused to Xiao Ming is even less than 800,000 taels. "

Wu Juzhi said with a smile: "In fact, he understands the truth better than you, for that Daming, I can get 800,000 taels, which is to withdraw from my own home, as for the benefits he brings, it is of no use to me?"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly woken up to something special, and then sighed and said, "Hey...... He's wrong, but you're ...... Sobered up for a while. "

I looked extremely depressed, and in a way, Zhang Sidao was just criticizing my heart.

Zhu Di sat on the side, listening to our conversation, and when I heard 800,000 taels, my eyebrows still trembled.

Obviously there is no cheap 140,000 can't be sent away...... Wu Juzhi's eldest son, actually .........

It's too much to spend money: it's too small.

That's the silver of the skin!

Of course, heartache is heartache, but Zhu Di is still silent, I am very vague, if I really talk about it, I can catch people, don't say 800,000 taels, it is 700,000, 1 million taels, that silver, I have to grit my teeth and hand it over.

It's just Zhang Sidao's thinking, but Zhu Di can't be admired.

That guy has always followed common sense, who would have thought that when the rebels were approaching day by day, and they were given a number of problems and killing moves, Wu Juzhi would actually delay going: Xiao Mo's last move?

At this time, Wu Juzhi looked at the scholar seriously and said, "So what about him, he is asking for the Tatar service?"

Regarding that question, the scholar said fiercely: "Your ancestors have served Xiao Yuan for generations, so ...... Still need a reason? "

Zhang Sidao said: "The Tartar entered the Central Plains, scourging the heavens, and now he has fled the desert, panicking like a lost dog, why, he still recognizes us as the master?" Did he forget that after the Tartar became the master, he was still a Han and a Song minister. "

The scholar shook his head and said: "Yes, when you were your ancestors, you were also Song Chen, and your ancestors were both Liao and Jin Chen, and they were ...... More Yuanchen. "

Wu Juzhi raised his eyebrows and said hotly: "Recognize the thief as a father?"

The scholar said: "If An Nanhou is here to quarrel with you, so ...... It seems that now is not the time. "

Wu Juzhi smiled immediately, then came up with a hurry, and said, "Okay, he continued."

The scholar said: "Your name is Zhang Anshi, my father Zhu Yuanzhang."

Zhang Sidao was still confused.

But at this time, Zhu Di, who was sitting on the side, changed his face slightly, and then looked at the scholar fixedly, and said with a smile: "The descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, Wuju of the Later Yuan?"

The scholar said very simply: "Yes."

The so-called Taifu, the earliest can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty, the Jin people entered the customs, in order to rule, and cooperated with the local wealthy clans, among which the most famous, known as the four dukes!

The four: The small wealthy clan can set up a public mansion in their own territory to appoint officials, collect taxes, and reward and punish orders, which cannot be said to be smaller than: Xiao Ming's authority as a vassal king.

Previously, when the Mongols defeated the Jin Dynasty, but there were many Mongols, and in order to rule, they also followed the practice of the Jin people and bought the landlords of the Han people.

Those Han people were weak landlords, who were named ten thousand households by the Mongols, so that they could divide the roads, recruit Han people as soldiers locally, and when fighting, the first wave of the Han army's attack, if it could fail, let the Semu army and horses continue to attack weakly, if it could still fail, then let the Mongols attack.

It can't be said that those Taifu have made great contributions to the Yuan Dynasty.

Don't look at us as just a big 10,000 households, but the strength is intertwined. may retreat to the Yuan Dynasty, and there are only 10,000 households, which is worth mentioning.

But once we are in the locality, our power is almost the same as that of the emperor!

Often, the population under the jurisdiction of those households is between 80,000 and 80,000 households, and if there are seven people in the household, then they do not directly govern the population of 100,000 to 800,000, and the area under their jurisdiction is as large as a county and as small as a prefecture.

All the privileges of levying taxes, conscripting troops, appointing magistrates.

It is not that as long as we are willing, in addition to paying a certain amount of taxes to the court of the Yuan Dynasty on time, we can levy fewer and more soldiers in our own territory, and if we want to adjust the tax rate to less, we can't judge how we want to judge judicial proceedings

! Local officials, we appoint and dismiss them at will, and even have to report to the court of the Yuan Dynasty at all. In fact, these rulers of the Yuan Dynasty didn't bother to care.

The most important thing is that Wu Ju is hereditary, and as for how they are hereditary, in fact, it is like the Han Dynasty treats princes and kings, there will be no rules for various etiquette.

The rulers simply care whether he has violated any royal law, and we all recognize who he will inherit his position as the prince.

At the beginning of Wu Juzhi's Northern Expedition, the resistance was the calmest, and Wu Ju, a Han man, was not one of them.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the father who called himself Zhang Anshi, before the Ming army went north, resisted most actively, even better than a few Mongols.

There are many Mongols still alive, the Central Plains is mixed up, and the small is back: the small desert is out. But that Zhu Yuanzhang was the same, resisting very calmly, until: Xiaoshi had gone, and even the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty ran away: Xiaomo, when Zhang Xingyuan recruited Wu Juzhi.

Zhu Yuanzhang was ashamed to do that: Xiao Ming's courtiers went directly to the mountains and forests.

Wu Juzhi knew the cause and effect, and it was forbidden to say: "He has served the Tatars for many years?"

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: "It's been more than ten years."

Zhang Sidao immediately said: "More than ten years? He must not be a multi-party henchman? "

Wu Juzhi said: "The sky is full of people who think about S Xiaoyuan, and it can't be said that everyone is a henchman."

Hearing those words, Zhang Sidao couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that seeing Wu Juzhi is letter, Zhang Anshi said: "Your family has been in the land of Yanzhao for generations, and there are many relatives and friends."

That kind of Taifu, I said that I had a number of old numbers, but I was right.

These soil emperors are intertwined in the local area, and those people are exactly the best at teaching the anointed children, whether they are arching horses or reading, they are all the same as the abnormal people such as Zhu Eighteen, Zhao Si, and Liu Seventy-eight.

Nor is it that those people themselves ...... It is not the object and talent of various dynasties.

Zhang Sidao said: "It's not that his relatives and friends are old at the beginning...... Not much, all willing to serve the Tatars? "

Zhang Anshi nodded.

Zhang Sidao seemed to think of something, frowned and said: "So they happily contacted each other privately, and those people among them are many people who have become you: Xiao Ming's Wenchen general, even if it is a Wenchen general, the strength of the local government is also Rong Dajiao, is it Wu Juzhi nodded again.

Zhang Sidao said: "The Yuan people are brutal, and they are willing to be driven by us like that?"

"But: How much better is Xiao Ming?"

Wu Juzhi coughed, and then said with a sarcastic look: "People like you who have no ability, but Zhang Xingyuan uses the imperial examination to restrict, because everyone is not interested in studying the seven books and reading the four stocks. Moreover, Zhang Xingyuan slaughtered

Are there still many people killed? When Xiao Yuan was there, he never treated his loyal ministers badly. "

Zhang Sidao's face became hot, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "But we slaughtered thousands of people."

Wu Juzhi was okay or not, and only looked at Wu Juzhi silently for a while.

Half a ring, he sighed and said: "If you ask, if you lose, you don't lose." You have something to say......"

Zhang Sidao said: "Since he is driven by the Tatars, so you come to ask him, because there are no such people...... For him to drive? Ji is like Xu Wen, and the left sentinel who led the troops to rebel with him today......"

Zhang Anshi looked up at Zhang Sidao and said: "We have been thinking about Xiao Yuan, in: Xiao Yuan, our ancestors were also officials, but it seems to be: Xiao Ming is particularly aggrieved, Xiao Ming's so-called officials are just liuguan, and the soldiers and horses under his command are all touchable."

, but no moderation! But: Xiao Yuan, we are a prince, and: Xiao Ming's emperor Lao Tzu, as long as he is unhappy, he can be deposed, and it is even possible to get a good place, who is it, will he be resentful outside his heart? "

After a pause, I added, "Of course, resentment is resentment......... In fact, it's still just that, the reason why it's ...... There are not so many people who are willing to work for you, and if you get to the bottom of it, you still have to return to the original martyrdom! "

"Jing Nan?"

Zhang Sidao looked puzzled.

Obviously, the answer is what I expected.

Wu Juzhi said the reason very slowly, and said: "Although you contacted many people at the beginning, but when Zhang Xingyuan was there, he didn't take precautions against you and the other Taifu and the Mongols, so ...... There is almost no chance of leading and leading troops. So at this time, what you do, is

It's just a daily visit to relatives and friends, and complaining to others. But...... Jianwen ascended the throne, and you immediately realized that this Jianwen was secretly strong, far from Wu Juzhi. It just so happens that I'm going to cut the domain, do you think it's a good opportunity, wait until Zhu Di ......"

Zhu Di sat on the side, endured the guy and called him by his name, did he have a seizure, I just want to know the truth now, but whether it is easy to interrupt Zhang Anshi, I just listened quietly.

Zhang Anshi continued: "When Zhu Di raised troops, it was just the time to employ people, so he ...... You planted a lot of people and retreated into the Yan army. The original intention was to create chaos within the Ming Court, and when we kill for a few years, then Xiao Ming will inevitably fall apart! It's here

At this time, you will re-enter the Central Plains and regain everything you had been. "

"But...... People are like heaven, who would have thought that in just two or eight years, Zhu Di would enter the Nanjing Domain and reunify Xiao Ming. "

I couldn't help but show a look of regret, to be honest, Zhu Di was indeed a big vassal king in Beiping at the beginning, and that little bit of troops and men was replaced by Ren Wen...... They all feel that they will be defeated, even if Zhu Di: Xiaoli has a miracle, Xiaoli is too much

According to one side, the entire Xiao Ming fell into a long period of civil strife.

Who would have thought that Zhu Di, such a big feudal king, would directly cross the Yangtze River and quickly start a war!

Zhang Anshi continued: "Of course, although those goals have not been achieved, they have also brought you a lot of benefits, isn't it ...... At the beginning, the people who originally retreated to the Yan Army, although they had a small merit, became a prince, but at most...... Absolutely: A small number of people are all because of it

In order to learn from the dragon's work, more or less, he retreated into Nanjing, and said that the general of the left post of the Beijing camp was Luer. I am the predecessor of the Mongol surrender, and it stands to reason that it is possible to get the trust of Xiao Ming, and even retreat to the Beijing camp and act as a military attaché, but it is precisely because of the Jingjing that I cannot control the people of one side. "

Zhu Di was forbidden to be moved, I squinted, and at that moment, I suddenly understood something.

At the beginning of the Jingjing, there were too many troops, so for anyone who was willing to settle the martyrdom, Zhu Di could hardly be called a refusal, so it seemed that people like Zhang Anshi took advantage.

Zhang Sidao said: "So...... First, he borrowed us to kill the king, but what about before? "

"The matter of killing the monarch ......" Wu Juzhi said in a panic: "For you, it is actually not good, because you are also vague, now the Tatar Ministry has swept Xiaomo several times during Zhang Xingyuan's time, and the strength has not recovered." Even if there is a civil strife in the Central Plains, it will be ten or seventy years

In fact, it is difficult to enter the Central Plains. Rather than that, or ...... Jean: The little family continues to lurk in the sky, waiting for an opportunity. "

So Zhang Sidao asked: "Since he knows, this is to ask for a start?"

Zhang Anshi said: "The reason why I did it was because ......... First, they haven't noticed your movements yet, if they are not, they may be at peace with each other, you can afford to wait, wait for the Tatars to unify Mongolia, and then the outside should be combined with the inside, so that Xiao Yuan's hope will not be restored

"It's a pity...... You are very vague, what kind of person is Zhu Di, once I realize that there is no anti-party activity, I will definitely do everything I can to chase and fight, sooner or later...... You may still leak your whereabouts. If you want to get rid of those, the only way is not to get rid of Zhu Di... By the way..."

Speaking of that, Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhang Sidao deeply, and then said, "I haven't gotten rid of him yet."

Zhang Sidao is forbidden haha: laughed and said: "I see...... So he suddenly didn't have so few movements, it can't be said to be dazzling, it's Xu Wen again, and it's framing King Ning again, it's not that time...... In fact, it's just a dog jumping off the wall. "

Zhang Anshi sighed: "Your life's work has finally been buried today, so you have something to say."

Zhang Anshi immediately glanced at Zhang Sidao, and said with a bit of emotion: "He is a talent, you think you are already the best, but you are like him in the end." Success and defeat, there is nothing to say now. "

As I spoke, I actually smiled.

It's like...... I am worried about the fate of my own pick-up.

Instead, I paused, and continued, "You are the one who is dying, and he knows it...... Your sick ...... There are not a few days left, suffering from this disease, in fact, there is no less alive and dead: small differences, although they fall into their hands today, there are also many regrets

Finish. It's a pity...... After my father died, he thought to himself, looking north: Xiao Yuan's soldiers and horses entered the customs, and after all, there was a way to complete it under your hands, but because of this, I was really sorry for my vitality: a small injury. "

Zhu Di finally sat still, looked at me hotly and said, "Really? It's a pity that this old thief is dead, if so, if he is caught, he will inevitably be broken into thousands of pieces. "

Zhang Anshi only smiled faintly: "What if this is like asking?" It's just too slow to speak, and now it'...... What do they want you to torture, that's straightforward......"

I smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that you are terminally ill and blind, and you should have suffered a lot of torture, and you may have to teach them to be disappointed."

Zhang Sidao glanced at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was obviously angry, so Zhang Sidao said, "Where's the list?"

"Directory?"

Wu Juzhi looked at Zhang Sidao lightly.

Zhang Sidao said: "The list of these people who colluded with him, hand it over, maybe you will die a better death."

Wu Juzhi shook his head: "They got it, you might tell them."

Zhang Sidao said again: "In addition to this, there is no ...... their wealth"

Zhang Sidao said that, paused, stared at me and said, "He can move for so long, I'm afraid it's not because of his family background!" They are Zhangjia...... The so-called Taifu, who has been for so many generations, even in the Jin Dynasty, once split the ground and was named Wanhu

, in fact, it is a country within a country, for hundreds of years, a small number of people have been stripped of the fat and the people, and the Mongols are so slow to admit, do you want to ...... It is also possible for them to take away so little wealth, but they are afraid of ......... As soon as he can make such a small movement, he must still have hidden the family business, those ......

Is it also to be said? "

Wu Juzhi frowned and was silent.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

I saw Wu Juzhi continue: "Moreover, you just deliberately said that you had 800,000 taels of silver, and when you bought the Tatar Daming, you have been observing his expression, and I am interested in 800,000 taels of silver...... There is not the slightest wave, and even shows sarcasm, which can be seen

…… The 800,000 taels of silver, outside his eyes, was nothing at all, and what he found ironic was...... I only competed because it was only 800,000 taels, so I folded it out. Those...... Is he vague about wanting to die so well? "

Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and said, "You are a stupid person, and he is also a stupid person......

I paused, raised my head, looked straight at Zhang Sidao, with a hint of fear in my eyes, and said, "He thinks, will you be willing to say?" You said earlier that you are a dying man, a man who is about to die in a long time, and if you ask them, may they get their wish? So he's scared of you,

It's going to be in vain, or is it better to hurry up and sentence them, let them vent their anger, and my ...... It will be delusional. "

Zhu Di showed a little bit of peace.

I know outside my heart that Wu Juzhi can be rampant for so long, he must be a resolute person, and the abnormal method will be useful to me.

Zhu Di stood up and stepped aside.

Zhang Sidao understood, so he also got up and muttered to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said: "This matter is very important: small, it seems that I will be recruited if I am tortured, but the criminal law is good, I am afraid that there is also a law to teach me to speak, whether to summon Ji Gang, that guy ...... It's okay to do that. "

Wu Juzhi shook his head heavily and said: "Your Majesty, I have been seriously ill for a long time, Ji Gang's eight-legged cat's kung fu, I'm afraid that if there is still a down, people will be tortured and die, and no one, criminal law alone can destroy their will."

Zhu Di frowned, looking worried: "It's just that I was broken into thousands of pieces, it's really hard to vent my resentment, that guy hid so little silver, and ...... There are not so many members of the same party...... It's a shame to die like that. Yes...... Lie to me, give me the desire to survive? "

Zhang Sidao still shook his head: "Your Majesty, give up, you deceived me, that has been too stupid for a long time, I have already distinguished the situation, it will definitely be okay with you, I am Zhu Yong again......"

Zhu Di's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said irritably: "What should I do?"

"Actually...... The minister also arranged a hand ......" Zhang Sidao's eyes were gloomy, and he subconsciously showed a thief smile.

Zhu Di suddenly cheered up and said busily: "Why did you say it earlier, what kind of hand did you show?"

"You need to wait...... Zhang Sidao said with a hint of mystery: "Let's take this person into custody first, and I'm afraid that I'm worried about it, and the ghost knows...... There is still danger in that palace, and my henchmen know that I have been caught, and they must jump off the wall slowly, and they must be killed immediately

People are silent, so the minister suggested that I be temporarily imprisoned in the palace, and it is best to ...... Let Yi lose ha, transfer some henchmen to guard, if it ...... What is Wei Guogong like? Or Qi Guogong and Chengguo Gong can also do. "

Zhu Di said in a surprising voice: "It's so troublesome to ask, and the skin will be guarded by yourself, and it will be my mother's ...... In those days, he was doing everything, just staring at me, but he could make sure that everything was lost. "

Zhang Sidao couldn't help but show admiration: "Your Majesty has done everything he can to eradicate the chaotic party, and he has done it himself, which is really admirable."

Zhu Di's old face flushed, with a bit of nature, he looked away, and then said: "The affairs in the palace are naturally in charge, don't continue to be verbose, hurry up and go to my mother's errands!" Oh, the palace should be big-hearted, and it is better to let the model battalion follow day and night

His right left! In my opinion, those people are very reliable, and in short, they will definitely not allow thieves to take advantage of them. "

Wu Juzhi smiled with a bit of smugness: "Your Majesty is worried, when it comes to protecting yourself, the minister is very good."

Zhu Di thought about it carefully, and felt that it was unreasonable, the people in the sky were all killed, if only one person could live, so four out of ten, it might not be that Zhang Sidao.

So Zhu Di said: "In this case, let's do things quickly."

"Yes!"

Zhang Sidao dared to hesitate, so he hurried out of the palace.
