Chapter 11: Shen Guogong's Determination

Of course, Lan Yu did this at a price.

This price is Lan Yu's relatives and children.

After all, Zhu Yunwen is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless to Lan Yu, but now Zhu Yunwen just wants to take down Lan Yu and remove political obstacles, and he does not necessarily mean to kill the Lan family.

But with Lan Yu's actions today, it is difficult for the people of the Lan family to survive.

In an instant, Zhu Yunwen also understood Lan Yu's intentions, and suddenly changed color. He just got the news that Zhu Yuanzhang lost his breath, and it was only a matter of the past three or five days. Zhu Yunwen is already making a lot of preparations. Now that Lan Yu's words have spread, it's not but.

Zhu Yunwen said sharply, "Shut his mouth."

Someone immediately went up and hit Lan Yu's mouth with a scabbard, knocking out all the teeth in Lan Yu's mouth, and even pulled out a dagger, and made a few clicks in Lan Yu's mouth, Lan Yu opened his mouth, and could only spurt blood and make a whining sound, and no one could hear what he was talking about.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen was still angry, and made a gesture to a guard next to him.

He originally wanted to punish Lan Yuming properly.

At this point he changed his mind. I want to let Lan Yu die silently. Otherwise, when Lan Yu was executed, he would make some kind of moths. It's not pretty.

In this way, a generation of national princes died quietly in prison.

Even so, Zhu Yunwen was still angry. After returning, he ordered all the children of Lan Yu to be executed. That's the breath of air.

After Zhu Yunwen regained his composure, he said to Ding Xian: "The news will not be blocked for long, let Shen Guogong do it quickly."

Ding Xian said: "The order has passed, if the time is not wrong, Shen Guogong will do it, and it will be in this day or two."

------

Ding Xian's prediction was a little wrong.

That is, Shen Guogong Deng Zhen is still hesitating.

To put it mildly, Deng Zhen actually wanted to be like Xu Da and Feng Sheng, watching from the wall. No matter how bad it is, like Li Jinglong, he pretends to be deaf and dumb. However, who let the old man of the Deng family is no longer there. And has been dead for years.

Deng Zhen's current status is even brought about by the death of his brother-in-law, King Qin.

By coincidence, there was an opportunity to sit in Beijing and grasp the power of the northern soldiers.

It is a bit too much to say that virtue is not worthy. However, Deng Zhen's strength is somewhat disproportionate to his status. In other words, once there is a change in the top management, Deng Zhen's current position is likely to be taken.

If he hadn't tasted the delicacy of power, Deng Zhen might not be able to sit on the cold bench, after all, no matter what, the Deng family is also a family of the country, hereditary disregard, and the same as Ming. What's wrong with the rich idlers who are divided into the masters?

It's just that in the past few years that Deng Zhen has been in Beijing, the Deng family's family property has jumped from hundreds of thousands of taels to millions of taels, and the Deng family has cut a piece of the dividends created by Beijing, and exchanged many other interests for Beijing's interests.

It can be said that the trend of the Deng family's decline, which has been declining after Deng Yu's death, has been reversed at this time.

Now the Deng family even has the posture of the head of the nobles of the Northland.

The reason why this is the case is that although it is said that the nobles have a lot of power in the north, the foundation of the nobles is still in Nanjing, in Beijing, and in the imperial court. Few people focus on running a place. Now, there are only the Lu family in Nanyang and the Mu family in Yunnan.

Lu Zhongheng didn't want to go back to the Central Plains. And before Mu Ying died, he also arranged it for the Mu family. Nothing else. It is to dig deep in Yunnan and not return to the center. This may be because Mu Ying saw that the world would be unstable in the future, and wanted to protect the blood of the Mu family.

Mu Ying is an absolute minister to the Ming Dynasty, and she is also absolutely loyal to the Zhu family, and even Mu Ying can be regarded as a member of the royal family, except that she is not surnamed Zhu. If Mu Ying is asked to die for Daming, or for Zhu Yuanzhang, or even the prince and grandson. Mu Ying didn't have anything to say.

But let the Mu family be exhausted in the infighting of the Zhu family, and even the bloodline will not exist. But it's not what Mu Ying wants to see.

Deng Zhen saw such a precedent, and he had it in his heart

One thought. That is to let the Deng family take root in Beijing. So as to avoid the fierce competition in Nanjing. Leave one acre and three points of land for the Deng family. Of course, Deng Zhen also understood that Beijing's military power would not be exclusive to the Deng family.

But if the Deng family takes root in Beijing, it will definitely have a certain priority. And after all, Beijing is the capital and the capital, and there should be some noble families.

If there is no desire, it is rigid. Deng Zhen asked for something, so he naturally took action.

However, Deng Zhen is not Zhu Yunwen's loyal minister, he is just seeking the greatest interests. It doesn't matter who ascends the throne, but he must be on the side of the winner. So Deng Zhen wanted to win over He Xi. If Deng Zhen is with He Xi, in Deng Zhen's opinion, no matter who is in power, they cannot ignore their interests.

This is also the reason why he doesn't believe that Zhu Xiongying can take the position.

After all, there is a successor who will be sent outside the Beijing Division.

But even so, Deng Zhen was still hesitating. Waiting for news from Nanjing.

He will only add to the icing on the cake, not the charcoal. He had to determine the situation before he dared to bet. No matter how good Zhu Yunwen was, Deng Zhen only agreed verbally and didn't dare to start. The reason is very simple, he is worried about Zhu Yuanzhang.

A character like Zhu Yuanzhang can reverse the situation as long as he has a breath.

Don't look at Zhu Yunwen's chances of winning, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang's mind changes, anything can happen.

Now, Deng Zhen has finally made up his mind.

Not for anything else. It's the death of Sappy.

The role of blue jade in Nanjing is that although Zhu Yuanzhang can change his mind, there is blue jade, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang changes his mind and Zhu Xiongying returns to Nanjing, he can immediately reverse the situation, but now Lan Yu has been taken.

There are two possibilities for this.

First, Zhu Yuanzhang had lost control of Nanjing.

In other words, the core of power in Nanjing has been in the hands of Zhu Yunwen.

Second, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang acquiesced to Zhu Yunwen doing this, which also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has made up his mind.

Either way, it means that the big picture has been decided.

Deng Zhen can place a bet.

------

A considerable number of Beijing camps are stationed in the capital, and there are many military camps and school grounds in Beijing.

The reason for this. It is the first construction of Beijing City, and there is a lot of empty land inside, so it is better to use it as a military camp, which is one of them. In the original design, there were already a large number of military camps in the city of Beijing, not only in the city of Beijing, but also in the city of Nanjing.

After all, if you don't do this, once the Beijing division has police. Where are the troops stationed?

This is also the second.

The reason why Lan Yu is stationed at Dasheng Pass is because there are a large number of Beijing camps in Nanjing, and the scale is more than 200,000 on weekdays. Beijing Jingying is different. The main forces in the north are all on the border defense line, and in terms of pure troops, the forces in the north are not necessarily less than those in the south. But the southern forces were concentrated in only a few places, the southwest, Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou, Sichuan. The place where these toasts have repeatedly rebelled. Then there's Nanjing.

There are not too many coastal lines.

Nanjing's Jingying has a more suppressive effect on the world. And the Beijing camp is nothing more than the general reserve of the northern border army. The role of the two is different, and the quantity is even different. Therefore, most of the Beijing battalions were stationed directly in the city of Beijing, and only a few were outside the city.

After all, many times it's still much more convenient in the city than outside.

This is also the third.

After Deng Zhen made up his mind, he personally sat in the Beijing camp, took one of his cronies, and went straight to the palace.

However, the Beijing Imperial Palace is the imperial palace after all. There are also guards. Although it is not as heavily guarded as the Nanjing Imperial Palace, it is not unguarded. However, Deng Zhen didn't take it to heart, Deng Zhen had been preparing for this day for a long time.

To be precise, Deng Zhen has several plans in his hands. It's just that in the end, this plan was used.

So, in the army of Dengzhen, they came to the north gate of the palace along the long street, that is, the Shenwu Gate.

This is the layout of Beijing City.

On the whole, the layout of Beijing City is no different from the layout of Beijing City in history. It's not that He Xi didn't

Idea. However, Daming has this thing of etiquette, the front hall and the back bed, the left society and the right ancestor. Sit north and face south. These rules have been in place since Yin Shang. It has been passed down until the Ming and Qing dynasties, and almost nothing has changed. This has also led to the fact that the pattern of Beijing has been fixed.

The front hall and the back bed, let the front palace be used as the emperor's office area. And sit on the north and face south, so that the front hall is in the south. For the convenience of the office, in the south of the palace, it is necessary to arrange various yamen. After all, you can't let the hundred officials go around the imperial city to go to the court, right?
