Fang Xiaoru looked at the short gun in Yao Guangxiao's hand with a very difficult expression......

He knew the latter was taking advantage of him.

He's not stupid.

Even the whole plan itself was that the famous demon monks under the Yan King were using them.

In other words, the entire vassal king group is using them, the Guangze King group, and the ambition of the Guangze King to seize the throne, in order to support the Guangze King to do things in exchange for the latter to give the vassal kings more power after he ascends the throne instead of cutting the feudal domain like Zhu Yunxi. But they are also using the vassal king group, they need the force in the hands of the vassal kings, otherwise with their group of Confucian students, how can they put King Guangze on the throne?

By the hearts of the people?

If the people's hearts really work, what are they doing with magic guns?

Besides, they don't have the hearts of the people!

No matter how good King Guangze is at acting, he can't change the fact that his younger brother is the heir chosen by his grandfather, so as long as he rebels and grabs the throne, the image he maintained by acting before will collapse.

Virtuous?

Snatching the throne of his younger brother?

Benevolence?

Grandpa snatched his younger brother's throne before his bones were cold.

Running away is sympathetic, but snatching the throne is despicable.

In the final analysis, he has no soldiers and no power, that is, he relies on a virtuous persona, once the character collapses, then he really has nothing, and he still grabs the throne, and no one sympathizes with him when he is killed.

So just like Yao Guangxiao said, the only possibility is that his younger brother is dead, and the way of death doesn't matter, he fell into the water, was killed by the traitor, and died suddenly of illness! In short, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to die, and then he can justifiably think that his nephew is too young, and he needs to take responsibility in such a time of national crisis, anyway, there is a great Confucian explanation afterwards, and there is no shortage of great Confucianism under him. But the key is how to make his brother die suddenly, his brother is healthy, even healthier than him, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for the two to say who lives longer than whom, so it can only be an abnormal situation. It is impossible to die suddenly of illness, whether it is Jinyiwei or the eunuch palace maid, it is also impossible for his younger brother to fall into the water, his younger brother is very good at water, and even swam across the Yangtze River with Yang Feng......

Ambassador Yang often took him on the Yangtze River.

After all, the Ming Emperor is easily soluble in water, and it is always good to exercise in advance.

Then there is only one possibility left to be killed by the traitor!

So......

A traitor is needed.

needs a traitor who will still be stinking for 10,000 years even if Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, a traitor who will kill the whole family even if Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, and a traitor who will be spurned even if it is based on Confucian moral standards.

"Mr. Zhengxue, you are a disciple of a sage and a well-known Confucian in China, and you should know very well that at the time of the survival of this Confucian Taoist system, someone must stand up and be a martyr.

His Majesty does not want Confucianism.

He was a student of Yang Feng, and I have known Yang Feng for many years.

The future of the Ming Dynasty he designed for His Majesty will not have a place for you, in fact, he himself admires Legalism, and now he is just temporarily unable to completely abandon Confucianism, so it is an expedient measure, once their new learning construction is completed, when the Ming Dynasty is full of new learning, Confucianism can also be kicked out. It is estimated that it will not be more than ten years, and now there are nine new schools in the capital, and the first batch of students have completed their studies, and they will participate in the next imperial examination, and then become jinshi from those miscellaneous subjects.

His Majesty will arrange for them to go to various places to take charge of the administration of the school and to build more new schools.

Raise more new students.

These new students went on to participate in the imperial examinations and continued to become Jinshi.

Ten years later, the court was full of new scholars.

At that time, if you wanted to kick out the Confucian students, all you needed was a holy decree. ”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and picked up the short gun, and then stuffed it into Fang Xiaoru's hand......

"Mr. Zhengxue, pull the trigger, as long as you pull the trigger on him, you Confucians will be saved, and you will regain the glory of a lord and a sage.

Eight wilderness and salty songs. ”

In Fang Xiaoru's numb gaze, he grabbed his hand and held the short gun, pointing in the direction of the palace......

"Bang!"

He said.

"Hahahaha......"

Then he let go of his hand and walked back with a smug smile, leaving Fang Xiaoru alone with a short gun.

"Master, will he do it?"

A man dressed as a business traveler greeted Yao Guangxiao and asked.

"If he doesn't do it, isn't it the three clans? King Guangze seized the throne, maybe he would be grateful to him, and it was also to reassure his subordinates, when he arrested his three clans, maybe he would deliberately let a few go, and his clan could still soar after all. But if he doesn't do it, then when His Majesty punishes his three clans, he will not leave one, and his children and grandchildren, his brothers, don't even think about running away when the time comes. He himself is either boasting or punishing the ten clans, then maybe His Majesty will really punish him for the ten clans as he wishes, so this person really can't brag, if he blows it up, it will become a flying disaster. ”

Yao Guangxiao sneered.

Indeed, Fang Xiaoru, who has already been blacklisted by the emperor, actually has no other choice.

Either fight to the death, or wait for the door to be destroyed.

"But he is a Confucian student, even if he gives him a short gun, I'm afraid he won't be able to kill His Majesty, and you don't know the skills of these guys, he can't do it with a gun."

The man said.

This is not a joke Fang Daru, the short gun at this time is not light!

"Liu Baihu, do you think I will be stupid enough to assassinate the emperor by relying on a rotten Confucian?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at him speechlessly.

"Uh, little dull."

Liu Baihu hurriedly said.

This is Liu Rong, Yanshan guards a hundred households, the original historical Guangning Bo, defeated Yang Wen with a partial division, but mainly because Yang Wen's subordinates didn't want to fight in the first place.

"All I want is for him to assassinate His Majesty, with the character of our Majesty, as long as he is not killed, then he will have to start a war with the Confucian scholars in the world."

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile with the joy of a conspirator.

Just then, a monk hurried over.

"Master, Jinyiwei is searching nearby, saying that he is searching for Fang Xiaoru, someone saw him enter the city, and he came to this area, it is estimated that he will be searched here in another quarter of an hour."

He said.

"There's Senior Brother Lao."

Yao Guangxiao said.

Then he took out a gold ingot and handed it to the monk.

The latter hurriedly folded his eyebrows and smiled, took the gold ingot, and hurried away.

"You, take him away, but it's best to attract the attention of Jinyiwei, but after leaving the city, lead Jinyiwei to Lishui to go to Qi Tai, Qi Nantang is hidden deep enough, and he almost deceived me, since this is the case, let him not think about continuing to stay out of the matter, how to assassinate Your Majesty, it's time for him to figure out a way, Fang Xiaoru is a rotten Confucian, Qi Nantang is not."

Yao Guangxiao sneered.

Liu Rong immediately nodded and prepared to leave.

"Liu Baihu, if you are caught by Jinyiwei......"

Yao Guangxiao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Master, it's just death, for the sake of the king, why die?"

Liu Rong said.

Yao Guangxiao nodded.

Then he put on a kind posture and went to recite the scriptures very calmly.

And Liu Rong went directly to find Fang Xiaoru, who was still struggling, and more than a dozen of his dead soldiers quickly walked out of the back door of the temple with Fang Daru, he was actually sent by Zhu Gaochi, that is, under the cover of being a merchant, he was here to be Yao Guangxiao's thug. Most of the young Zhuang generals in Zhu Di's guards are not interested in going to the Western Regions, in fact, it is indeed difficult to be interested, they are more willing to push Zhu Di to the throne.

In the final analysis, even if Zhu Di played the mining system, it would be meaningless for them to go to the Western Regions to get a piece of mining by themselves.

No matter how good it is, can it compare to the capital?

Can being a small lord be compared to the Zuo Ming Emperor?

Very good choice.

That is, Zhang Fu and a few others, because they knew that Yang Feng was there, they couldn't resist after all, plus Yang Feng was bewitched, so they supported Xiang Western Regions, but it was only support, if Zhu Di turned to grab the throne, they would also support it.

But Liu Rong, who stayed behind, couldn't understand this choice at all.

They formed an alliance with Zhu Gaochi's brother and Yao Guangxiao, just to push Zhu Di to fight for the throne.

They were far away from the temple, and at this time there were Jinyi guards everywhere outside, and they quickly succeeded in attracting the attention of a team of Jinyi guards, Liu Rong did not hesitate to raise his hand crossbow and shoot down a Jinyi guard, and in the latter's shouts and gongs, he quickly led Fang Daru towards the Taiping Gate. When they arrived at a city wall, with the help of the defenders, they quickly climbed the city wall with Fang Daru on their backs, and then climbed over the city wall, but they deliberately attracted the attention of the patrols on the city wall outside, and continued to flee to the sound of the latter's warning gong. Soon a large number of pursuing soldiers left the Taiping Gate, while they mounted their spare horses outside the city and galloped towards the Yaofang Gate.

Palace.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's better to talk to King Yan and them, hold them down first, and wait for Yang Feng to come back."

The little princess is still persuading her nephew.

"What is there to talk to them, if you can't convince them, they will treat me like a boy in the future, don't worry about anything, when the siege artillery is transported over and the Kaifeng city wall is blasted open, then they can only beg me for mercy."

Zhu Yunxi said.

Of course, he can't rely on Yang Feng.

He really knew very well that as long as Yang Feng came back and clearly announced his support for him, then King Yan could only choose to withdraw, and King Yan would withdraw, and other kings such as King Liao and the like could only withdraw. After all, with Yang Feng here, as long as they admit defeat, they will be fine, and Zhu Yunxi is actually wrestling with these uncles now. He won, and these uncles and brothers honestly accepted his reforms, and the latter won, and he had no choice but to stop the clan reform and maintain the status quo.

But neither side had any intention of killing the other.

He even told Lan Yu not to hurt his uncles.

These vassal kings are now nothing more than relying on Kaifeng City to hold on, and then wait for changes elsewhere, using the situation to force him to submit, but at least for now, there is nothing to worry about elsewhere.

The five northern feudatories did form a union.

But it didn't work.

Because of Zhou Dexing, Geng Bingwen had already arrived in Shandong and began to integrate the armies south of Beiping, and the prestige of these two veterans, especially Zhou Dexing, was high enough in the army......

This is a real patriarch.

In fact, Zhou Dexing is older than his grandfather, a veteran in his seventies, and it may not be enough for him to counterattack Beiping at present, but it is enough for him to block the Zhu Gaochi brothers from going south, not to mention that the latter and the other four feudatories also have to warn Yang Wen of Liaodong. The Liao domain has been targeted by Yang Wen, once Yang Wen attacks Daning, it is impossible for this alliance to dare to go south, and the Shanxi military and civilians have blocked Yanmen Pass, and Zhang Yi, as Xu Huizu's deputy, is strictly guarded.

Although Xi'an has not yet been resolved, Xu Huizu is in charge himself, and the guards of the Qin domain can only protect the palace.

As for Wuchang......

"Your Majesty, the army of the Marquis of Jingchuan went out of the Three Gorges, the vanguard Sichuan commanded Qu Neng to attack Jingzhou, most of the Xiangfu guards surrendered, and a small number fled to Wuchang."

At this time, a eunuch made a report.

"Spread the decree to the Marquis of Jingchuan, disarm the guards of the Xiangfu Mansion for the people, and Qu Neng will give the earl."

Zhu Yunxi said excitedly.

It was clear that his worst days were over.

In the final analysis, he is basically stable, the Beijing camp, especially the Shenji camp, the blue jade department, Cao Zhen, Yang Wen, these can ensure loyalty, and the remaining Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu cannot be said to have two hearts, even if Xu Huizu is the eldest brother of King Yan, but the whole family of the Xu family is in the capital, and they don't have the courage to betray him. As for saying that the vassal king is doing trouble, this is actually inevitable, and the root cause is not who became the emperor, but his grandfather died, and these guys think that he can't suppress them. The kind of feudal system that his grandfather engaged in will inevitably lead to this kind of rebellion of the feudal king, whether he cuts the feudal domain or not, this situation will eventually occur.

He cut down the feudal domain, and the feudal king will make trouble.

If he doesn't cut the domain, the vassal king will actually make trouble.

This kind of system is only suitable for his grandfather, an emperor who can make everyone tremble at his knees, but without his grandfather's coercion, it is only a matter of time before something happens.

Now is the time to solve it once and for all.

"Fourteenth aunt, you don't have to worry about it, there are still two months left for the imperial grandfather's funeral, and it will definitely be solved within two months."

Zhu Yunxi said.

Those siege guns are already being transported by land to Kaifeng.

In fact, it is not too difficult, get more horses or oxen, and then load the gun wheel with wooden planks, and drag it along the road on the plain towards Kaifeng little by little, dragging it for twenty or thirty miles a day, and it will take less than half a month to drag it to the front line. Then all that remained was to bombard the Kaifeng city wall with twenty-eight siege cannons, as long as the city wall collapsed, it meant that the vassal kings lost.

His Majesty the Emperor is full of ambition and awaits a time that truly belongs to him.

However......

"That's it, at most, it's just a death, and the knife is fast, and it will never live up to this!"

Not far from Yaofang Gate, Fang Daru, who was lying on the back of a dead soldier and climbing over the city wall, suddenly sighed like a convulsion.

It startled the dead man who carried him.

"Who?"

Suddenly, the patrol that had just walked by not far away turned its head.

"Let's go!"

Liu Rong shouted.

The patrol immediately banged the gong and shouted and ran towards it.

Liu Rong, who had already climbed the city wall, pulled out the short gun on his waist and pulled the trigger on the patrol, and those dead soldiers also pulled the trigger one after another, and the patrol could not have such a high-grade firearm after all, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly fell down on the city wall. At the same time, a large number of cavalry from outside the city rushed out of their hideouts and rushed towards the city walls, they were also short guns, and soon approached the walls and opened fire on the patrols. And Liu Rong and the others quickly slid down the city wall, the cavalry with spare horses, Liu Rong immediately got on the horse, he looked at Fang Daru, who was also on the horse......

"Let's go, go to Lishui!"

He shouted.

Then they began to run wildly towards Lishui.
