Chapter Seventy-Two: King Anhua
Zhang Sheng's reputation is high, and he is still very awesome when he calls friends.
On that day, Yan Song exerted his eloquence, and described the current predicament of the court with emotion, relying on his three-inch incorruptible tongue, Zhang Shengyi, who was finally flickering, did not play like this, Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, pit them, it is possible, as for how to pit, then continue to look down.
Zhang Sheng co-signed hundreds of officials, large and small, to support the relocation policy, and reprimanded the ministers of the court for being lazy and not knowing how to be flexible, good guy, what did Yan Song say, Even Zhang Sheng, who is known as a straight gentleman, knows how to be flexible.
The first reaction in the eyes of the ministers was to move and harm the people, but they ignored that the migration does not necessarily have to move the people.
Yes, these people can also do it, after they go out, is Daming even better?
Once this problem arises, it is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it can't be blocked, isn't it better for the vassal king to go out, the clan is out, isn't it better, look at the royal clan kneeling outside the palace gate for a few days, how many people are there, there are so many people in the capital alone, how much money is there in the entire Ming Dynasty, and how much silver is needed to feed it in a year, this calculation, good guys, that's an astronomical amount, so if they move out, how much silver will be saved in a year.
The household department is the most careful in calculating, and when it comes out, I am obedient and rumbling, and there will be nearly two million taels of silver left a year, if this can really be the case, all the officials of the household department can dream of laughing pigs.
Li Dongyang is also the secretary of the household department, naturally the calculation is even more fine, don't look at it is just a title, but it also represents recognition, the old guy's breath is short, migrate, must relocate, this is a national event, whoever stops it is the old man's enemy.
With red eyes, he found Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and the two pavilion elders were startled by Li Dongyang's demeanor, and hurriedly helped him to ask with concern.
"Bin Zhi this is.... Sick? Xie Qian asked
Li Dongyang still felt that his mouth was dry, and with a trembling hand, he handed over an account book to Liu Jian.
Liu Jian was suspicious, glanced at Xie Qian, the two of them didn't know why, and when they opened it, they immediately understood, looking at it page by page, the amount under each person's name in that line, each page had a total amount, 198,000 taels.
They are all familiar with the names, the county lord... Junjun, this king and that king, these are all royal families!
In the last year, 1.9 million taels, this is just a fortune, if you add a reward? The money and food for the opening of the government and the construction of the teeth.
OMG! Astronomical.
The three pavilion guys are all the same at the moment, like bulls in heat, their eyes are red, and they are panting like a bull's roar.
"Enter the palace." Liu Jian stood up and roared urgently.
One Daning naturally can't accommodate so many imperial relatives.
Zhu Houzhao and Yang Shen's original intention was to throw out this seemingly delicious fruit, give the courtiers a fantasy of a bright future, lay the groundwork for the continuation of the expedition in the future, and also prepare for the thorough development of the relocated population in the north.
The emperor's relatives and clans are gone, how are the people, in the end, their goal is still the people of the Ming Dynasty, only the people are the foundation, the army can only maintain the status quo, and the people can develop and build, and gradually turn the north into a stable rear of the Ming Dynasty, a city wall that is more stable than any city wall.
Yan Song's-stirring stick is still strong enough, and the stubborn stones in the pit were pried by him one by one.
The huge opposition has become the target of the civil officials' collective scramble, you oppose it, why do you oppose it, do you know the difficulties of the country?
What! You don't know? Come on, come on, this official will reason with you.
So the relatives of the emperor who had just been punished began to sit on wax again, and these shameless courtiers were really raised by a group of bitches, and they turned their faces ruthlessly.
Wailing in my heart, and helpless, the tide is unstoppable.
Emperor Xian, look at your relatives, they are all homeless by your son.
Naturally, the clan can't sit still, and the emperor can't make them submit, aren't you going to make trouble? Then why don't we make a big fuss, the ministers are unreliable, and the princes of the domain, they have military power in their hands, don't you want to cut the domain? Okay, then let's see if the vassal kings will agree, and when the time comes, will you Zhu Houzhao be able to withstand the anger of the vassal kings in the world?
In desperation, they were not afraid of big things anyway, so someone quietly took the token to the vassal king's territory.
Zhu Houzhao settled the civil and military ministers, and the matter was only half done, and the remaining half had to depend on the clan, as he expected, the clans couldn't sit still, and Mu Bin hurriedly entered the palace again.
"Your Majesty, they moved." Mu Bin said half-kneeling.
"Okay, you're doing a good job, send someone to keep an eye on them, see where they have gone, and the reactions of the vassal kings of all sides, go down." Zhu Houzhao said calmly.
"Yes."
Later, Yang Shen was summoned to the palace.
"The clan has moved." Zhu Houzhao said to Yang Shen.
Yang Shen nodded and smiled; "The next thing to look at is Grandpa Zhang's!"
The two looked at each other and smiled sinisterly, and Liu Jin next to him couldn't help but tremble.
Gonggong Zhang is naturally Zhang Zhong, but isn't he preparing to attack Jiaozhi with Wang Shouren in the southwest?
Don't.......!
Who is Zhang Zhong? That is the shadow of the first emperor, forever hidden in the shadows, if it weren't for Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, taking advantage of the death of the first emperor to make trouble, Zhang Zhong will always be the shadow of the emperor, including the entire Iron Eagle Guard, now they are fighting all over the Ming Dynasty, from north to south, even fighting and winning, unstoppable, more brave than the soldiers who have been guarding the nine sides all the year round.
It seems to turn from dark to light, but don't forget, Zhang Zhong is an inner servant, and he is different from other internal servants, he is only loyal to the emperor, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is right or evil, the emperor wants him to kill people, and his brows will not wrinkle, even if you are a famous minister of the government and the opposition, or a young child who is waiting to be fed, in his eyes, he is a person who can be killed.
When Wang Shouren led the army and the army of Mufu in Yunnan to Jiaozhi, Zhang Zhong had already quietly led the Iron Eagle Guard to the north, passing through the southwest, and he was not needed, Wang Shouren was enough.
His task is to solve the trouble for His Majesty, what trouble?
That is the King of Anhua, the prince of the border has been self-respecting for a long time, and he has rebelled against Zhu Houzhao in history, and the speed of destruction is faster than the rebellion of King Zhining.
In the previous life, he was captured by Qiu Yue and died in the joint efforts of Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong to quell the rebellion.
In this life, there is nothing to do with Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong in the counterinsurgency, Zhang Zhong is here, and Qiu Yue is still a little-known commander, and it is estimated that he will soon fade out of the stage of history.
"Father-in-law, it's thirty miles away from Anhua." Word came from the outpost.
Zhang Zhong ordered everyone to stop advancing.
"Inform the prince that the imperial court envoy has arrived, let him go out of the city to greet him." Zhang Zhong commanded lightly.
The good hands of Jinyiwei and Dongchang almost passed the book every day, and the major events that happened in the imperial city were transmitted to Zhang Zhong without any mistakes.
The people in the clan have just arrived today, and Zhang Zhong has also arrived with a large army, if they are lucky, those people can still wait for Zhang Zhong in the palace, and then capture them in one net.
Zhang Zhong took an army of 5,000 to thirty miles outside the city, and the king of Anhua got the news, his sudden appearance made the king of Anhua stunned, what is the situation?
"Lord Wang, that Zhang Zhong is not good, you must guard against it." A white-faced scribe reminds King Anhua.
Don't think that rebellions are all temporary, no one can rebel on a temporary basis, Zhu Di's capital for rebellion, Yao Guangxiao, military generals Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and the Xu family, etc., the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the money and grain are occupied by the north and the grassland people to conquer and accumulate countless people, plus the new emperor's ascension to the throne is not stable, what is the victory? It's a matter of planning and then acting.
And the king of Anhua is similar, what is Ningxia, it is an important town in the north, the wealth and military horses accumulated by several generations of previous kings, these are enough for him to make trouble, King Ning has not yet gone to the first emperor, the two have contact.
But who would have thought that King Ning was a fool, and he was cut by the little emperor's urn, which made him hate and fear, for fear of being implicated by King Ning, but after worrying for so long, the little emperor did not move, which made him gradually feel a lot more relieved.
Until today, Zhang Zhong silently led the army to his doorstep, and threatened the imperial court envoy to greet him.
King Anhua roared angrily; "How could an army of 5,000 people arrive outside the city silently, rice buckets, all rice buckets."
The white-faced scribe sighed, and persuaded bitterly; "Lord Wang, now is not the time to be held responsible, the clan from the capital has only arrived, if you are seen by the people of the court, Lord Wang, you will be covered with mouths and can't tell clearly."
"Then what do you say, do you want this king to really go out of the city thirty miles to meet him?" King Anhua said angrily.
The white-faced scribe thought for a while: "The court is now in turmoil, and the civil officials and ministers are all clamoring for the relocation of the clan, at this time, the emperor sent Zhang Zhong over, I am afraid that it will be a disaster or a blessing, and the prince must prevent the emperor from taking you as an example." ”
The king of Anhua was puzzled when he heard this; "What do you mean?"
I have to say that the white-faced scribes still have some knowledge, and King Anhua is not surrounded by some incompetent people.
Zhu Houzhao is this plan, when you make the most trouble, I will take a move, take down one or two vassal kings, we don't have military power, we don't move, just move the kind of vassal king with a large army on hand, how about the king of Anhua, he has strength, and there are still a few guards in his hands.
King Anhua walked into the cannon fodder selected by Zhu Houzhao in this way, King Ning rebelled and was captured, he said everything, Zhu Houzhao didn't move him at that time, because he felt that such a person with "great ambitions" would die now, and people with great ambitions would have to take the big road!
There was a taste of pity in the eyes of the white-faced scribe, and he said; "Lord Wang, you still don't understand! The emperor wants to use you to establish authority, think about it, at present, in addition to the king of Shu, the king of Gui, and the king of the vassal king, you are the most powerful, and the king of Shu and the king of Gui are the brothers of the emperor, what about you? ”
"This king..... This king.... King Anhua instantly understood.
When the white-faced scribe saw that he understood, he said again; "Lord Wang, in my humble opinion, you only have two ways to go."
King Anhua's eyes lit up, and when he heard the words, he urged him; "Come on."
The white-faced scribe was disappointed again, how could such a person who couldn't hold his breath achieve great things, hey! Originally.......!
"Immediately." The white-faced scribe still hoped that King Anhua would succeed, so he tried again and looked at him encouragingly.
But when King Anhua heard this, he just looked shocked, which made his heart cold.
"Lift things..... This... This is not the time! King Anhua regained his demeanor and refused.
The white-faced scribe looked disappointed, and then continued; "Then the prince has only one way to go, kill the people sent by the sect to contact, and then immediately go out of the city to meet the envoy Zhang Zhong, and then go to the emperor to ask for a few guards and horses, so you can have no worries."
When King Anhua heard this, he suddenly looked unwilling, indecisive, and hesitant, which made the white-faced scribe even more disappointed, is this a certain loyal person? Can he really achieve great things?
The white-faced scribe was disheartened, so he added a fire and said fiercely; "Lord Wang, when you continue to suffer from it, the catastrophe is just around the corner, what is the prince still hesitating about?"
His original intention was to want the king of Anhua, and his heart was horizontal, so he simply reversed, becoming the king and defeating him, but he didn't expect the king of Anhua to listen to it, so he was excited, and his heart was really ......!
"Someone."
"Please command!"
"Kill the messenger and deal with it."
This time he was very simple.
"Someone come, change the clothes for this king, and this king will welcome the envoy."
