Chapter 40 The Situation in Beijing

He Xi went down the river from Hejian Mansion, all the way to Tianjin, and then went upstream. It didn't take long.

This is also an important reason why He Xi chose Hejian Mansion as the defense line, there is a canal, and the defense is too convenient. Supplies from the rear can be transported to the front line in a steady stream, and further south, the canal enters Shandong. There are a lot of inconveniences.

However, He Xi is not looking at the canal at the moment. It's the atmosphere in Beijing.

To tell the truth, the biggest effect of the battle of Yuxian on Beijing was to calm people's hearts.

After all, for many people, Beijing is against the world, and most people have no confidence. Even Zhu Xiongying himself is probably upset. But He Xinan won the next battle and defeated Tang Shengzong, which immediately reassured many people.

After the people's hearts settled down, the originally suppressed prosperity in the north of Beijing broke out again.

He Xi saw that the city of Beijing, although it was not as prosperous as before, it could not be called a depression, but the war still had an impact on Beijing itself.

As soon as He Xi arrived at the South Wharf in Beijing, Yao Guangxiao waited for a long time.

He Xi knew at a glance that Yao Guangxiao had something to say to him.

After all, Zhu Xiongying is not what it used to be, and as soon as He Xi returns to Beijing as a foreign minister, he must go to see him as soon as possible. And if Yao Guangxiao has anything to say to He Xi, it is only at this time.

Yao Guangxiao and He Xi walked side by side, and to make a long story short, he first told the situation in Goryeo and said, "My lord, it seems that Fu Zhong's own troubles in Goryeo cannot be solved. For a time, it was difficult to move westward. It's just that the problem of Liaodong also needs to be solved."

He Xi nodded and said, "Not bad. Wu Gao and Liu Jing are all talents, and now they are also biased towards us. It's just that Tang suddenly raised troops and didn't inform them, it is estimated that they are now uneasy in their hearts, and I will find a way to solve this matter."

He Xi believed that Wu Gao and Liu Jing would not throw themselves into Nanjing.

He didn't doubt that.z.

He Xi has made a lot of preparations for today's events.

And the two people who control Liaodong, He Xi has done a lot of things.

First, that is the ideological tendency of the two, Liu Jing himself is biased towards the new law, he is a pragmatist, and Wu Gao, although cautious, does not reject the new law.

Second, before the army, the families of both of them were in Liaodong at the moment.

Wu Gao's family is in Liaodong, on the one hand, He Xi found a way to get a lot of industries for Wu Gao, most of the Wu family took care of business in Liaodong, and Wu Gao's sons were all studying in Beijing Guozijian. And Liu Jing is more convenient. Liu Jing's son was in Beijing Guozijian, and He Xi found a way to tell him about a family affair. Liu Jing couldn't leave, so Liu Jing's wife came over to meet her in-laws.

Marriage is a big event, although it is said that it is best to do it in your hometown. But it came and went, delaying his studies. And just looking at each other, what it will look like in the end, maybe it's not clear.

He Xi did not know that their relatives had detained them to threaten them. But it also saved them from being threatened by Nanjing. As for some of the relatives of the side branch who stayed in Nanjing. He Xi wished that Zhu Yunwen would kill him.

Third, they actually all know that in the eyes of Nanjing, they are He Xi's descendants. is from the rebels. Naturally, they will not fall into the net.

Moreover, it is He Xi's business in Liaodong that is truly deep-rooted. It can be said that today's officials in Liaodong University are all from the four schools in Liaodong. can be regarded as He Xi's apprentice and grandson. Not to mention how much they attach importance to the resumption of the imperial examination in Nanjing. Liaodong is much against Nanjing.

Without him, the education system built by He Xi has become the core of Liaodong officialdom, and these people are not from the imperial examination, and it is impossible to take the imperial examination in the future. In other words, once Nanjing wins, Liaodong will be suppressed the worst. This kind of interest is related to Liaodong if it wants not to oppose Nanjing, and there is no need for He Xi to mobilize at all.

Liaodong is even more active than Beijing. Liaodong and Nanjing, only one can live.

In this atmosphere, it is impossible for Wu Gao and Liu Jing to go against the mind of Liaodong. Not to mention, He Xi had already made arrangements in Liaodong. If there is any change between the two of them, it will not hinder the development of the situation in Liaodong.

As it turned out, it turned out to be

What was expected. Liu Jing and Wu Gao are both smart people, and there is no movement at all.

But He Xi also knew that there might not be confusion and resentment in their hearts. Therefore, He Xi must go to Liaodong to integrate the manpower and material resources of Liaodong. Only then can we actively prepare for war and win this war. In fact, this is also a problem encountered in Nanjing. When something like this happens, the central government's control over the local area has been loosened. It's just that the situation in Beijing is better than in Nanjing. The area under the jurisdiction of Nanjing is too large. Consolidation and mobilization takes time. In fact, Beijing is only one Hebei and one Liaodong, and it is very easy to integrate.

Yao Guangxiao said in a low voice, "My lord, during this period of time, His Royal Highness has conspired with Xie Jin a lot, as well as Deng Zhen. Xie Jin and Deng Zhen made a lot of contributions in convincing the guards around Beijing, and now the guards around Beijing are all subservient to the prison state."

He Xi knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Beijing's influence on the health centers around Beijing is absolute. Therefore, although it cannot be said that there is no risk at all, the risk is not large, and it can even be said to be a credit for nothing.

And Zhu Xiongying's tendency is also obvious.

There is a gap between the monarch and the minister.

It is estimated that what Yao Guangxiao wants to say is not who is favored and who is not favored, nor what is the situation around Beijing? It's this.

He Xi believed in the reins, smiled slightly, and said, "Got it."

Yes, got it.

For He Xi, he is afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, not that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor. But the emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang is an elder, a teacher, and a comrade to He Xi, and this complex feeling makes He Xi feel timid when he is to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, who is Zhu Xiongying?

He Xi doesn't care.

Even Zhu Xiongying has his own thoughts, which is very normal.

Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen were both trained by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't pay too much attention to training Zhu Yunwen. For Zhu Xiongying's training, he really worked hard. For Zhu Yunwen, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it is just a bait, a bait to gather the enemy and catch them all.

Zhu Xiongying is the true crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying never thought that he would ascend to the throne in such a way. During his time in Beijing, he didn't think about how to take root in Beijing at all. Therefore, after the army appeared, He Xi controlled the overall situation, and Liaodong was He Xi's basic plate. He Xi's influence in Beijing is extraordinary, and He Xi went south this time to rectify Hebei Prefecture and County, and even deepened his influence into Hebei.

This *** is not so much Zhu Xiongying's, but He Xi's.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying has an instinctive sense of crisis. It is also normal to want to fight and check and balance each other. This is something that a normal emperor would do.

He Xi didn't care about this, on the one hand, He Xi didn't think that Zhu Xiongying could fight himself. On the other hand, the relations of production correspond to the productive forces. He Xi's promotion of the reform this time is to establish a huge market and a set of free trade systems and mechanisms.

This kind of system naturally has a suppressive effect on the imperial power.

He Xi didn't want to abolish Zhu Xiongying, but Zhu Xiongying also had to accept such a situation.

This matter is not even transferred by He Xi's will.

"However, it's time to have a good talk with Zhu Xiongying." He Xi secretly said in his heart: "The war is coming, we must reduce internal friction. We'll talk about that later."

He Xi put this matter aside and asked, "Is there anything going on in the west?"

Liaodong is in the east, He Xi is in the south, the north is Monan, the desert is the desert, it is the king of Yan, He Xi doesn't think there will be any big problems, but He Xi is worried about the west. Datong is the western gateway to Beijing, and Taiyuan is not far from Beijing.

For the west, He Xi also has arrangements. Just don't know how it goes?

Yao Guangxiao saw that He Xi didn't care about this matter, and sighed in his heart, he always felt that He Xi's biggest crisis was no longer outside the Quartet, but within the palace walls. However, Yao Guangxiao also felt that before the world was decided, nothing big would happen. The real problem is before the world is calm.

After all, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, settling accounts after the autumn, you can't just tear down the bridge without the river, and if you don't have the autumn, you can settle the account, right? Zhu Xiongying is not so stupid

。

Yao Guangxiao said, "The situation in the west is not very good."
