Chapter 305: Conspiracy
This Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes, is not so easy to be, not only the knife handle must be hard, but also have its own set of systems, although the father and son of the Wu family in Liaozhen are far worse than Cao Cao, but Liaozhen is self-contained, and he is qualified to become Cao Cao.
But Liaozhen will not withdraw from Liaoxi, and if relatives do not come to Jiangnan, there is no need to worry about this at all.
Qian Qianyi smiled, poured wine for Wu Xiang, and said, "Lord Wu, it's the old man who is Meng Lang, don't care." ”
Obviously, Qian Qianyi completely believed in Wu Xiang's sincerity, but Shi Kefa frowned and thought, he thought that there must be something greasy in this, Wu Xiang asked: "Master Shi, what are your concerns?" ”
"Lord Wu, there are 50,000 elites in Liaozhen, although there are many, but now that the Central Plains are lost, the thieves are bigger, threatening Liaozhen in the west, and the eastern captives and Liaozhen have been fighting for decades, and water and fire are incompatible. If Liaozhen is not withdrawn, it will be a dangerous place, and it will be a bit dangerous to attack from both sides. Shi Kefa said in a deep voice.
When Qian Qianyi heard this, he also frowned, and Wu Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Shi Kefa can be the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and in the end, he can also be called a soldier.
Although Liaozhen does not withdraw, it is indeed full of sincerity, but there are also big loopholes in it, and now Liaozhen has the initiative to support the new monarch, and it is natural for him to want to be Cao Cao. Why did Liaozhen support King Lu instead of King Fu, and there were too many generals who supported King Fu, and they shared the credit of Liaozhen?
Now Liaozhen has no intention of withdrawing troops, it is really incredible, let the flowers and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River not enjoy, and fight for life and death in Liaoxi, is it out of sincerity to the Ming Dynasty? Qian Qianyi also does not believe in this.
Wu Xiang said: "What Master Shi is worried about, this is what I want to talk about next. ”
"Oh, please." Shi Kefa saw that Wu Xiang had another explanation, and his heart was a little relieved.
Wu Xiang said: "Do you two know that the thieves are chasing stolen goods in the capital? ”
Qian Qianyi nodded slightly: "I have been chasing stolen goods for a while, and I have heard a little that it is said that the thieves arrested the gentry and landlords, tortured and beaten, and forced them to take out their wealth as military resources, especially the families of the eunuchs and nobles, who suffered too much." But I only heard that this is the case in the Central Plains and Shaanxi and Gansu, so could it be that a thief entered Beijing, and did he do the same? ”
Wu Xiang said: "Yes, not only did it happen, but it was especially cruel, and many nobles and officials were tortured to death. Just now, the two of you said, we Ming and scholars rule the world together, like a thief who is the enemy of the scholars, can we sit firmly in the world? ”
"Rogue style, habits are difficult to change, let alone sitting in the world, there will be no good results in the future." Shi Kefa said.
Qian Qianyi nodded heavily, and Wu Xiang continued: "That's right, why didn't Liaozhen withdraw, Master Shi thought that if I didn't withdraw Liaozhen, was it trapped in Guanning?" Wrong!
Liaozhen did not withdraw in order to restore the great cause. You might as well tell the two of you one thing, Dongyu has entered the customs, entered Jizhou from the grassland, and has already fought with the thieves in Gyeonggi, do you know why Dongyu entered the customs? ”
"Could it be that it's Ping Xibo!" Shi Kefa suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Oh, Ping Xibo is talented." ”
Qian Qianyi was puzzled, and Wu Xiang said: "It was my son who took the initiative to contact Dongyu and join forces with Pingkou to have Dongyu enter the customs." ”
"Lianyu Pingkou, what a good plan." Qian Qianyi also understood at this time and kept praising him.
Wu Xiang smiled and said: "Nowadays, Dongyu and the thieves are getting together, whoever dies is a good thing for our Ming Dynasty, the more you die, the better." When they are defeated and wounded, we will send troops to recover, saying that it will wipe out the two families of Dongyu and the thieves in one fell swoop, which is a big talk, but it can be expected to destroy the thieves.
And what about the Eastern captives, who have entered the prison several times and returned from plundering, where do they have the idea of long-term rule? Let's just give some military rewards and send them away.
The two, although it is a great achievement to support the establishment, my father and son only ask for the duke's reward, but in the future, restore the Central Plains, suppress the thieves, the two can agree to seal my Wu family, tear the soil and seal the grass, for the Ming Ping Domain. ”
Qian Qianyi and Shi Kefa looked at each other, and said in their hearts that the father and son of the Wu family were really ambitious, they not only wanted to be a noble, but also wanted to be a powerful vassal king, but if the Wu family really exterminated the thieves for the Ming Dynasty and restored the capital, such a reward would be nothing, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, that is a matter of the future, and it has nothing to do with the present.
Shi Kefa got up and bowed to Wu Xiang: "Lord Wu, when the country is in crisis, thanks to you for helping the building in the general, I am waiting in Jiangnan, mostly involved in supporting the establishment, and doing nothing, if it were not for the great talents and diligence of Lord Wu and Ping Xibo, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably suffer a huge loss, please Lord Wu accept my worship." ”
Wu Xiang was extremely satisfied, helped Shi Kefa up, and said: "Master Shi said that he laughed, in the future, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, I hope that Master Shi will not dislike me for being vulgar, and be more tolerant." ”
Although Shi Kefa believed that the Wu family father and son had both selfishness and ambition, the implementation of a joint capture and Pingkou alone was enough to convince him.
Qian Qianyi said: "Master Wu, that Li Zhaoji has a lot of praise, I don't know what he wants?" ”
Wu Xiang said: "This guy has great ambitions, but there are many requirements, don't mention them." ”
"Why not?" Qian Qianyi was puzzled.
Shi Kefa said: "King Lu Fu is still in his hands, so he naturally has nothing to fear, and the request he made is not something that Lord Wu can refuse or agree, and His Royal Highness King Lu is held hostage by Li Zhaoji, where is there any reason not to agree."
But just a businessman, where is there a reason to enter the house, and the new monarch will succeed to the throne in the future, those requirements need to be carefully considered, carefully considered, and fulfilled according to the situation. ”
Wu Xiang immediately said: "What Master Shi said makes sense, and at this time, it is natural that what he says is what it is." How dare I not say yes? It's just that Li Zhaoji is cunning and bold, and there are some demands, and we can't honor them. ”
"What are the requirements, tell me about it." Shi Kefa asked.
"About Fujian Zheng Zhilong." Wu Xiang said, secretly observing Qian Qianyi's expression, he said: "I heard that Li Zhaoji and Zheng Zhilong have been competing for power at sea for many years, and the two have many suspicions. ”
"Well, it makes sense at this time, this guy is planning to stand in the north, but the pen is on the southeast coast, and he can also be called a hero." Qian Qianyi said.
Wu Xiang said again: "Li Zhaoji is extremely ruthless, and there is no shortage of life and death under his command. The two of you, if it is a last resort, whether this Zheng Zhilong will be sacrificed. ”
Shi Kefa didn't speak, and looked at Qian Qianyi, who has always regarded Fujian Zheng Zhilong as his political capital, although the relationship between the two is not so solid, but this matter is almost the consensus in the Jiangnan political arena, so it depends on his attitude.
"What do you think, Lord Wu?" Qian Qianyi asked.
Wu Xiang said: "My father and son also feel embarrassed by this matter, although there is a big plan to capture and level the Kou, but speaking of this matter can not be done in a short period of time, in the future, it will be necessary to rely on shipping, Zheng Zhilong seems to be able to provide convenience, but Li Zhaoji is also the same, as far as I can see, it is best to keep only one of these two."
If Zheng Zhilong is left behind, he needs to prove that he can defeat Li Zhaoji and protect the north-south shipping. But it will also add a bit of uncertainty to the matter of support, which is really difficult.
And leave Li Zhaoji, use it in a short period of time, and if the court is stable in the future, it doesn't hurt to abandon it, because he is not a person from the Ming Dynasty, and he has no foundation in the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Well, Lord Wu is very thoughtful." Shi Kefa said.
Qian Qianyi fell into contemplation, and in the future, he supported the new monarch, Zheng Zhilong is still available, get rid of it now, it is not good in the long run, but if he does not agree to come down, it is not good at this time, to put it bluntly, in the process of supporting the new monarch, Liao Zhen, Li Zhaoji and Nanjing Military Department are all necessary conditions, but he Qian Qianyi is dispensable, he is only one of Jiang Zuosan's family, and his role can be replaced.
"Lord Qian misses the old and is a little embarrassed." Shi Kefa beat a side drum on the side.
Wu Xiang smiled and said, "I still have a way, but it's a little more complicated." ”
"Oh, let's hear it."
Wu Xiang said: "Mr. Qian, how about going to the father and leaving the son?" ”
"You mean, Zheng Sen?" Qian Qianyi suddenly remembered his disciple.
Wu Xiang nodded: "It's Zheng Sen, what Li Zhaoji wants is to destroy the Zheng family, but there is no new monarch yet, so he will start a war lightly, and the righteousness is unreasonable, let's simply use Zheng Zhilong's population to give Li Zhaoji a sweetness, push King Lu safely to the throne, and then ........" ”
The next words, Wu Xiang naturally didn't have to say it, Qian Qianyi naturally could figure it out, he said: "Master Wu has said this, if the old man doesn't agree, he just doesn't know the current affairs, so let's handle it like this." ”
Wu Xiang immediately said, "Mr. Qian, thank you for the volume." Again, that's the last thing. ”
Shi Kefa and Qian Qianyi immediately cheered up their spirits, what Wu Xiang said, one was more dangerous than the other, and one was more ruthless, and the two of them could not be ignored a little. Wu Xiang said: "Let's support King Lu as the king, then, what about His Royal Highness King Fu, what should we do?" ”
Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, and then got up directly: "Wu Xiang, you dare!" That's the Heavenly Noble, the bloodline of the Divine Sect! ”
Obviously, Shi Kefa guessed that Wu Xiang was going to kill King Fu, Wu Xiang was not angry, but said: "Master Shi, you have also seen the situation now, the generals of Huaibei all support King Fu, and Ma Shiying takes the lead, and Zheng Zhilong also has an ambiguous attitude.
I might as well make everything clear, fortunately, Li Zhaoji made a move in advance and took King Fu and King Lu away, otherwise, King Fu would have ascended the throne now.
Don't let the two of you let it go, it is you who propagate what the blessed king has seven that cannot be established, and he says that he is useless. Keep the blessed king, in case someone has any bad intentions in the future, how can it be good? ”
Shi Ke's law said: "Killing the clan is absolutely unnegotiable." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "Although Lord Wu is bold in proposing this matter, it is also a peaceful proposal. ”
Shi Kefa said angrily: "The clan was killed, how can it be peaceful? ”
Qian Qianyi said: "King Fu alone, in exchange for the unity of the Ming Dynasty, how can we not talk about peace?" I asked Master Shi, after we supported King Lu, what should Ma Shiying do, what should Shen Youlong do, and how should the marshals of Jiangbei deal with it? If the blessed king is there, they will not give up, and if any one of them has the wrong idea, it will be a civil war.
It's better to prevent it than to prevent it from happening! ”
