Chapter 378 Prelude to the Turmoil in Jiangxi
Jiang Xia and his group of six people arrived in Jiangxi, according to the original plan and estimate, Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren both thought that this time they came to suppress bandits.
Wang Shouren was originally the governor of Southern Jiangxi, so after arriving in Jiangxi, he had to find the original Jiangxi governor Sun Sui to handle the handover, so that he could be regarded as taking office.
Sun Sui has reached the age of ear shun, and it is time to return to his hometown.
For Sun Sui, Wang Shouren was also full of admiration when he mentioned it.
Jiangxi is a place of right and wrong, and everyone knows it. Most of the officials of the DPRK and China are reluctant to come to Jiangxi to wade into the troubled waters here, and Sun Sui, as an old minister of the DPRK and China, also has many old friends.
Someone once asked Sun Sui to see if he would be transferred out of Jiangxi in order to leave the place where this was right and wrong. Otherwise, one day if King Ning really rebelled, he, who had always been against Zhu Chenhao, would probably be the first to be taken by Zhu Chenhao to sacrifice his handsome banner.
However, Sun Sui finally rejected the kindness of his friend, and just asked his wife, son and daughter to leave Jiangxi, and he still stayed in Jiangxi to keep an eye on King Ning's movements.
Seeing Sun Sui in Raozhou Mansion, Wang Shouren first saluted Sun Sui and shouted, "Master Sun." ”
Sun Sui was excited when he saw Wang Shouren, he grabbed Wang Shouren's hand and said, "Okay, Yangming, it's good that you're here." Now that there is chaos in Jiangxi, I'm afraid you have to come to stop the imminent turmoil. ”
After speaking, Sun Sui saw Jiang Xia standing behind Wang Shouren, so he asked, "Yangming, this is"
Wang Shouren immediately turned sideways and led Sun Sui to Jiang Xia, and said with a smile: "Master Sun, wait for me to introduce you." This one is today's Dragon Protector Hou Jiangxia. ”
"Jiang Xia?" Sun Sui looked at Jiang Xia twice, and didn't seem to be very interested in him. He said: "The old man has heard your name, and when the civil and military officials of the Jingshi talk about the traitors in the court, I am afraid they will also discuss who is the most harmful among the eight tigers. But if you mention Shechen, then I'm afraid that Marquis Jiang must be the leader. ”
This old immortal thing Jiang Xia couldn't help but roll his eyes, this old guy was too straightforward to speak, and there was no room for tactfulness and detour.
If it had been in the past, I am afraid that Jiang Xia would have been angry a long time ago, even if he didn't have to control the Qilin arm that couldn't control him, I was afraid that he would have to use his three-inch tongue to ridicule him a few words.
However, before coming, Wang Shouren briefly told Jiang Xia about Sun Sui's deeds, and Jiang Xia still admired this kind of person who was not afraid of the powerful and wanted to protect the stability of the country and the society regardless of his own safety. After all, he doesn't have such sentiments himself.
So Jiang Xia was just embarrassed at the moment, and he didn't argue with Sun Sui about anything.
However, Jiang Xia didn't argue, Wang Shouren couldn't just let Jiang Xia be counted down by Sun Sui, after all, Jiang Xia came to Jiangxi to help out of his face.
Wang Shouren pressed Sun Sui's shoulders and said, "Master Sun, forgive Yangming for being rude and defending Marquis Jiang." Looking at what Marquis Jiang did when he was an official in the court, all of them were working hard for the prosperity of the country. If he is said to be a traitorous minister, Yang Ming died because he couldn't imagine what traitorous things he had done. Mr. Sun is also a person who knows right from wrong, and I hope you don't want to follow the crowd. ”
Sun Sui glanced at Wang Shouren, and then looked at Jiang Xia, who didn't speak.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, the old man is just testing our Marquis Jiang." Who is my Sun Sui? How can I see the same as those villains who slander others behind their backs?"
Jiang Xia suddenly had three black lines in his head, and secretly said in his heart: "You are really funny, hehe"
Then Sun Sui seemed to be trying to comfort Jiang Xia, and had a polite conversation with Jiang Xia. Then Wang Shouren took the initiative to ask Sun Sui: "What is the current situation in Jiangxi?" ”
Sun Sui's face immediately became stern, and he turned around and walked towards his study with Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren.
When he arrived in the study, Sun Sui first took out seven letters and handed them to Jiang Xia and Wang Shouren. Jiang Xia opened it and looked at it, and now the content is the same, all of which is that King Ning secretly raised bandits to harm the people of Jiangxi, and secretly cast weapons and armor in an attempt to rebel.
Sun Sui said: "Recently, the music that I sent to Jingshi was intercepted by King Ning, and some time ago, I also sent someone to send these music back to me. In addition, when he returned these songs, he also sent me a basket of dates, a basket of pears, a basket of ginger, and a basket of mustard greens. ”
"Jujubes, pears, ginger, mustard?" Wang Shouren immediately understood what King Ning meant, and he said: "King Ning is persuading you to leave Jiangxi as soon as possible, so that you can 'leave the border early'." ”
Sun Sui nodded and said, "That's right, but if the old man wanted to leave, he would have already left, so how could he stay in Jiangxi until now." ”
Jiang Xia looked at Sun Sui and suddenly felt that this little old man was also quite cute.
Sun Sui continued: "Now I have used the pretext of defending against others and strengthening the cities around Nanchang. At the same time, I also wrote a letter to the guards in Jiangxi, asking them to send heavy troops to guard the key points in Jiujiang, and also asked them to set up a general judge stationed in Yiyang, and also supervise the soldiers of the five surrounding counties to strengthen prevention. In order to prevent King Ning from robbing weapons, I pretended to guard against thieves and transferred the baggage to other guards. At present, the Beijing division sent a large army to capture the rebels in one fell swoop. ”
Jiang Xia shook his head after hearing this, and said, "It's useless. With the emperor's temperament, as long as King Ning did not really rebel, he would not do anything to King Ning in advance. ”
Sun Sui glanced at Jiang Xia, was silent for a while, and then sighed. This sigh proved that he also felt that what Jiang Xia said was right.
Sun Sui said: "The day after tomorrow, King Ning will hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate his birthday, and an invitation card will also be sent to the old man." The old man went to check the news first and touched the bottom of King Ning. Just trouble Yang Ming to take advantage of the two days to check the whereabouts of Ling Shiyi, Wu Shisan, and Min Twenty-four. These three people are the bandit leaders raised by King Ning, and after arresting the three of them, they will be tortured and interrogated, and they will definitely be able to get evidence of King Ning's intention to rebel. ”
Wang Shouren nodded and agreed to the matter.
Until now, Sun Sui, Jiang Xia, and Wang Shouren still think that Zhu Chenhao only has the intention of rebellion, and it is not time to really raise troops. As everyone knows, Zhu Chenhao has already begun to gather troops and horses, and is secretly preparing for various troop matters.
The next day, Sun Sui and Wang Shouren made a simple handover, and then took the deputy envoy Xu Kui to the Ning Wangfu in Nanchang. When he was about to get into the carriage, Jiang Xia also asked Sun Sui if he wanted to send someone to protect him.
Sun Sui snorted coldly and said, "No, I don't think King Ning will dare to do anything to me for the time being." ”
Besides, Sun Sui arrived at King Ning's Mansion.
At this time, there were armor soldiers everywhere inside and outside King Ning's mansion, and they didn't look like they were having a life, but rather they were about to convene the generals to hold a swearing-in meeting before marching to battle.
Seeing such a situation, Sun Sui's brows tightened, and there was a hidden uneasiness in his heart.
But in the end, he still followed Xu Kui into King Ning's mansion.
Past the front yard of King Ning's Mansion is a huge garden. In the garden, there are towers and water pavilions, and pavilions and attics can be seen everywhere, and I have long heard that Ning Wangfu has invaded private land, but I didn't expect it to be so arrogant, Sun Sui's brows furrowed even tighter.
But fortunately, this garden is full of lights, and the dam in the middle is also full of round tables, and some cold dishes and pastries are placed on the table, which finally has a little meaning to celebrate the birthday.
At this moment, there are already a lot of people in the garden, most of them are officials large and small in Jiangxi, Sun Sui glanced carefully, and felt that almost eighty percent of the officials above the seventh grade of several prefectures near Nanchang, Jiangxi.
I don't know which of these officials just can't grind their faces, so they came, and which ones came here to sneak around and have already colluded with King Ning?
Sun Sui thought so, and suddenly there was a loud laugh from behind him.
Turning his head to look over, he saw King Ning walking over in a python robe, and said to Sun Sui: "Lord Sun, I didn't expect you to come too, I really gave this king enough face." ”
Sun Sui frowned and looked at the clothes on King Ning's body.
It is said that this is a python robe, but there is something wrong. Anyone who knows knows that this python is very similar to a dragon. The only difference is that pythons have four claws, while dragons have five.
Sun Sui carefully counted the python claws on King Ning's python robe, they were five claws!
Five claws, then it's not a python robe, it's a dragon robe!
Sun Sui's face changed drastically, and he looked at King Ning with a look of horror in his eyes.
Zhu Chenhao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the table banquet was set and said, "Lord Sun, the banquet is about to start, please take a seat." ”
Sun Sui gritted his teeth, he originally wanted to point out that Zhu Chenhao's wearing a dragon robe was a capital crime, but he wanted to come to King Ning's Mansion, and it was useless to say it, so he endured it and didn't say anything.
Sun Sui was helped by Xu Kui to sit down next to a round table in the garden.
At this moment, Zhu Chenhao, accompanied by two strategists, walked to the front of the garden, next to a gazebo.
Walking up the stone steps of the pavilion, Zhu Chenhao turned to look at the officials sitting next to the banquet, and he said loudly: "Everyone, thank you first for coming to see the birthday banquet of this king, here this king has thanked you first." ”
After speaking, Zhu Chenhao bowed to everyone. Many of the guests below clasped their fists and saluted: "The prince is polite, the prince is polite."
Then Zhu Chenhao continued: "Before the birthday banquet begins, this king has to say one thing first, a shocking big secret. ”
At this moment, everyone felt that today was probably not as simple as celebrating his birthday, and everyone looked at Zhu Chenhao.
Zhu Chenhao said loudly: "The current queen mother once sent a secret decree to this king, telling the king that the current emperor is not his own child, but from the people. Now that Zhu Houzhao Xiaoer already knows this secret, he actually let Jiang Xia force the Queen Mother to death in order to protect his throne. The queen mother told the king in a secret decree that if she was not determined to be Zhu Houzhao's child, she asked the king to raise an army to fight against the thieves. ”
Zhu Chenhao's words were undoubtedly like an atomic bomb detonated in the crowd, and everyone present couldn't say anything when they were surprised.
"Nonsense!" Sun Sui couldn't hold back any longer, got up and pointed at Zhu Chenhao and asked loudly: "Ru'an has to say this, please send me an edict!"
ps: Maybe the last few chapters are not as exciting as the previous plots, but I have tried my best to speed up the progress, and I will soon reach the most critical moment of the book, and I believe many people have guessed what it is.
