"Opportunity?" Huai Liang was stunned, and he couldn't turn around.

"Lord, you have not forgotten." The cronie was happy, "Didn't we dare to act rashly because we were afraid of the five hundred Ming State soldiers?" ”

"If you can use food to support those Ming people, a big thing can be done!"

Huailiang reacted at this time, if there was no Ming army to defend him, if he forced Changqing to abdicate, he would be much more sure.

But when it came to the end, his indecisiveness flared up again, and he said with some hesitation: "Those Ming troops really dare to rob grain?" After all, this is the boundary of my Yamato country. In case they're just bluffing......"

"Lord, the opportunity must not be lost, when it is broken, it will be broken!" The cronie knew about his master's problem, and at this time he almost tried his best to encourage him. "In any case, you should be prepared. If the Ming army doesn't dare to do it, we can find another way. ”

"But wouldn't it be a pity if the opportunity did come, but didn't grasp it?"

"The generals of the Northern Dynasty have already issued a clear order, if His Majesty Emperor Changqing is not allowed to abdicate the throne and turn back to the shogunate to launch an encirclement network, how will the lord respond?"

Prince Huailiang was stunned. Now that the Southern Dynasty has long been in decline, except for some rural daimyo in the remote areas of the east who are not useful, there are no daimyo who are willing to respect the rule of the Southern Dynasty.

If he couldn't make meritorious service as soon as possible, wouldn't he have to be buried with the Southern Dynasty when the shoguns of the Northern Dynasty invaded?

He had forgotten that Gao Qi had been rude to him, and paced left and right on the tatami mats, looking extremely entangled. After a long time, he made up his mind, and there was a fierce light in his eyes: "Since this is the case, then do it!" With the promise of the shogun, Ashikaga-sama, I see who dares to treat me as an enemy of the DPRK......"

"You go, gather the forces of the reliable daimyo in the surrounding area, and after three days, watch the actions of those Ming people."

"If they really leave the Imperial Palace, we will set off immediately and launch an army against Changqing!"

He waved his hand, looking extremely heroic.

"Hello!" The cronies knelt down and bowed, but they still couldn't help muttering in their hearts: they are all ready to rebel, and they are still worried that they will become enemies......

However, for the sake of his own future, he didn't dare to show it on his face, and he took his own life.

~~

Since Gao Qi left the Huailiang Mansion, he has not stopped for a moment, going straight to the location of Sakai Port. It wasn't until the sergeants moved away and accepted him in that he had a few hints of relief.

It is common for people to be barbaric, even if they kill people on the street. That Huailiang is already tyrannical, and with such a provocation, he must have sent someone to hunt him down in Xunri. I was injured before, and that's because of it.

Looking back now, there are no Japanese warriors chasing after me, and I know that something big has happened. The cold sweat on his forehead suddenly turned into joy.

"Since Huailiang has entered the urn, we should also prepare for one or two." After Zhu Su got Gao Qi's report, he immediately summoned Gou'er, Di Meng, Cao Yuan's generals, and Tie Xuan. "Dog, you immediately bring this letter into the imperial palace and hand it to Brother Mu Ying, so that he can act according to his discretion." The dog nodded and walked away.

"Di Meng, Cao Yuan, the two of you immediately reinforce the fortifications and arrange for duty. In the past few days, we have been closed here, and we are resolutely not allowed to participate in the affairs of the Japanese state. ”

"Don't sit and reap the profits, the yellow finch is behind?" Gao Qiqi said.

"Nope." Zhu Su shook his head. "Just watch. If we wait for us to make a move, it will inevitably give the words of the great names who are loyal to the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom. In the future, if they join forces again, it will not be another Huailiang. ”

"It's a mess of muddy water, and we're not going to wade for the time being. We must first put ourselves on the moral high ground before we can completely take over the forces of the Southern Dynasties. After that, I have my own opinion. ”

"I see." Gao Qi nodded, and the point stopped. Zhu Su beckoned Tie Xuan, who was staying in the corner, to come over:

"There is an extremely dangerous task for you to do as a teacher, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?" Tie Hyun puffed up his chest, and his face showed a flush. "It is incumbent on me to fight for the rise of China!"

"Okay." Zhu Su patted him on the shoulder, "You are young and have never appeared in front of those people in Huailiang, I want you to go to Fujiwara Mansion and follow him for the time being." Can? ”

"Doesn't Shizun trust Fujiwara?" Tie Hyun asked.

"If you are not of my race, you naturally don't believe it." Zhu Su said. "But this time it's not about dwelling him, it's about doing something."

However, he was a widow after all, and he was worried about his teacher, so he was afraid of the end of the matter and missed the opportunity. You come with your ears. He whispered a few words in Tie Hyun's ear. At a critical time, if you can help Fujiwara make a decision, can you do it? ”

After hearing Zhu Su's instructions clearly, Tie Xuan's whole person was inexplicably excited, and he quickly stood up straight, and learned from those soldiers to perform a fist salute in the army: "Master don't worry, if it doesn't work, come and see you!" ”

"You don't have to raise your head." Zhu Su smiled. "My Ming people's life is precious, and he is not worthy."

"I just hope he still has three points of courage, otherwise, our busy work and intentions will be in vain."

……

Three days later, in the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Chokei hid in the inner hall and pretended to be sick, and it was already dark, but he was still writing a book, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to win over many daimyo with letters and regain the emperor's power.

The temple was short and dim, and it was not until he put down his pen and ink that he heard the cicadas chirping at night in the outer courtyard.

"Is it getting dark?" He shook his sore wrist, got up and put on his clothes, and his attendant helped him open the shoji door, revealing the night like water outside.

"By the way, why didn't the general of the Ming Kingdom ask to see him today?" Emperor Chokei suddenly remembered something.

In the past few days, since some of the daimyo's forces had been curtailed, Emperor Chokei no longer relied entirely on the strength of the Ming army in the imperial palace. He sent Mu Ying's five hundred people to the outskirts of the imperial palace and easily refused to meet them. In order to protest against Zhu Su's wanton enclosure of land in Sakai Port, he refused to meet Mu Ying, who repeatedly asked for food, and his attitude was the same as when he had something to do with the Ming army.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength in his hands was still not enough, and Huailiang was still eyeing him, I am afraid that Changqing would immediately tear up the agreement with Daming and expel Zhu Su and others from the country.

"When the general saw that he couldn't get food and grass, he had already led his troops away."

"Gone?" Changqing was stunned, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

"You were writing a letter while you were leaving, so we didn't dare to disturb you." The attendant said deferentially. "I heard that the Ming army threatened Prince Huailiang, and Prince Huailiang had no choice but to provide grain and grass for the Ming Dynasty to carry it."

"After discussing with the ministers, the daimyo thought that this was just a trivial matter, which could not only consume Prince Huailiang's reserves, but also allow the Ming army to stop interfering in your imperial palace, so they did not stop ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that His Majesty the Emperor's face changed greatly, and he suddenly raised his foot and kicked the waiter to the ground.

"Yaga!"

The Emperor's panicked roar resounded through the night that should have been quiet. The little majesty and bearing that Emperor Changqing had managed to regain in the past few days had disappeared in his panicked expression.
