Chapter II, Section 3 Determination
"I understand His Highness's concerns---- that person is using this power. ”
"Who's that man?"
"I don't know, I'm afraid the six guards don't even know Mr. Zhao. Such treacherous people will not leave any tricks in the hands of these minions. ”
"Bengong has underestimated them," the prince said angrily, "Then, what should we do in the future?" He had obviously regarded Leng Qiuhe as his own brain.
Leng Qiuhe didn't answer and asked: "Does His Royal Highness also think that the arrangement between the emperor and Mr. Guan is just that?"
"Do you mean ......?"
"These six people were personally selected by Mr. Guan, I believe that their bottom line Lao Guan also knows, after all, he has only been the commander of Jinyi Wei for more than ten years, he is not a vegetarian, I am afraid that the people behind the scenes, the emperor and Guan Shu already know it!"
"Hey, I've fallen for my old man's plan!" said the prince, who had been silent for a long time.
"You can't say that," Leng Qiuhe said handsomely, "The only credible person around the emperor is to express his feelings, Yao Boru is old, Zheng Yuan is cowardly and has no opinion, these two have nothing to do with the overall situation." The other scholars held a wait-and-see attitude despite their heavy powers, and the cabinet ministers were all incompetent, and they did not dare to speak out because of the power of a few powerful ministers and foreign ministers, and they became ornament......s."
"Wouldn't the father ......" Leng Qiuhe stabbed at the current affairs, pointing to the defeat of the imperial court, and the prince couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Your Highness, today's saint is also a generation of Ming Jun, how can he let that young man behave recklessly. At that time, the saint mistakenly believed in the villain and got close to the eunuchs, which led to the 'change of the civil fort', and the national morale was greatly damaged. After the restoration of the Holy Lord, although he vigorously rectified the government, but after the Daizong incident, the court has been divided into several factions, and although Banzai wants to weaken the power of the ministers, he cannot be in a hurry. After all, the 'brocade' and 'factory guards' are the forces controlled by the emperor himself.
"You mean just the mixed Dongchang and Jinyiwei?"
"Of course not! The palace is concerned about the sitting, which can be guaranteed, and more importantly, the capital and even the border defense generals! With the emperor's sage, it can be seen that the court cannot be eradicated at all, so it has to fake its hands and plant its own cronies in the troops stationed abroad. ”
"Isn't this loose on the inside and tight on the outside, and power on the outside?"
"In fact, the emperor is also waiting, he is waiting for an opportune moment. ”
"You mean ......"
"The emperor has his own set of courtiers, and the foreign generals can be said to be absolutely loyal to the emperor---- the emperor should also have absolute confidence in this. Therefore, as long as the internal dynasty is in chaos, the external generals can support the king of soldiers, and with Guan Shu's internal response, they can naturally uproot several major forces!"
"Wouldn't we be bait?"
"It's not just a bait, it's a lead!"
"Yes, we have to make them unable to sit still, and immediately make trouble, so that we can get rid of them, or we will be in trouble if we continue to let them sit up. The prince clenched his fists and said.
"This is the real reason why the emperor agreed to let you come out, this trick is very thrilling, but there is no other way, and it is also the most effective way. ”
"That's true. The prince said, "It's just that my father is worried about me in the palace." ”
"If the emperor knew that His Royal Highness had this idea, he would be very pleased. Wei Chen secretly thought that the emperor might be blaming himself----- his old man might not let you come out and take risks. After all, you are the only prince of this generation, and if something happens, it will be worthy of the ancestors. "Cold autumn river channel.
"Shaomin, you don't have to comfort me. You must know that if you don't take strong medicine to govern the dynasty this time, I am afraid that the Zhu family will be ruined, and then you will be even more shameless to face the ancestors and ancestors!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's righteousness is really a blessing to all the people!"
The prince smiled slightly, and said, "But right now, we have already entered the Jedi." ”
"Well, I believe that Old Man Guan has other arrangements. ”
"Another arrangement?"
"You think, since Guan Shu has long known the details of those six guards, then even if he knows that I Leng Qiuhe has martial arts, he doesn't dare to let the six of them 'escort' all the way with such confidence. ”
The prince nodded, "That's true. ”
"The road was probably full of eyes and ears, but we didn't even notice it. I think they must have someone secretly protecting us, perhaps already secretly eliminating a few groups of people, and if the timing is right, they might be able to join us. ”
The prince immediately felt that the previous feeling of embarrassment had weakened a lot, but when he thought about the fight a few days ago, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and said, "Of course, all the Jinyi guards are masters. But there are few top masters. Shaomin, if you send a few more characters like 'Mr. Zhao', or even harder, to come next time, and always send all the reinforcements to Guanshu, it will be very troublesome. ”
"Alas," Leng Qiuhe sighed, "Your Highness is extremely worried, they must have gathered a lot of good players in the martial arts. Moreover, they must have cultivated a lot of their own henchmen. If they send out a master, it's trickier. ”
The prince was silent, and Qiu He was speechless.
It was Leng Qiuhe who was the first to break the silence, "Maybe we can use the power of the rivers and lakes." ”
"How to use the power of rivers and lakes?"
"Most of the people in the rivers and lakes pretend to be high and disdain to associate with the government, but these are all caused by the darkness of the court in previous dynasties, the corruption of the government and the suppression of martial arts by the court. Leng Qiuhe sighed, "In fact, the imperial court and the martial arts can coexist in a more reasonable and harmonious way, and this dynasty is because it was too harsh on the martial arts people in the early days of the founding of the country, which will cause them to always have some resistance to the imperial court." ”
"It's not a good thing to keep the army in the people, after all," the prince said, "and that will inevitably give some rebellious ministers and thieves something to ......borrow."
"But if the drama is punished, it may make the court have nothing to do when it is in trouble. Fortunately, Chengzu established the country and relaxed the ban on martial arts, and later there will be a martial arts alliance leader like now, Qin Potian, who will lead the crowd to resist the Tartars. ”
The prince was silent.
Leng Qiuhe continued: "In fact, the people's customs and martial arts are not a bad thing for a country. The people are still martial, and a country will have soldiers to be recruited in an eventful autumn, and there will be more generals who can be used to fighting. For example, the Han and Tang dynasties can be said to have never intervened in the affairs of the martial arts, and if they do, they will have long-term peace and stability. Another example is Zhao Song, who forbade martial arts and literature, but as a result, there was no big chaos among the people, but he was defeated again and again in the wars of neighboring countries, and he was also weak and incompetent in foreign affairs, and was bullied by barbarians outside the border for a long time. Besides, the previous Mengyuan, although it was said that they were barbarians, but it has to be said that their folk customs were indeed strong, and they trampled to the hinterland of Hongmaobang to the west, and to the east, they wiped out the Song, Xia, Dali, and Jin kingdoms in one fell swoop. It was only later that after the founding of the country, the people in the territory were divided into several colors, and the Central Plains martial arts were greatly suppressed and divided. This caused a group of heroes to rise up against the Yuan, and the Wanren Mansion was destroyed in an instant. ”
The prince nodded: "Shaomin's words are not unreasonable. It's just ...... right now."
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, there is no shortage of loyal people in the rivers and lakes today. What's more, for generations, even if the rivers and lakes are reckless and discordant with the government, most of them still have a patriotic heart. Although some scum has joined the traitors, they want to endanger the Ming Society. Once this matter is known to the righteous people in the rivers and lakes, they will naturally not sit idly by. ”
"But they are outsiders after all, and the dispersion of power probably doesn't help. The prince said worriedly.
"Your Highness's words are wrong. Although the rivers and lakes are mixed, they pursue the principle of 'righteousness comes first'. Today's matter is already extraordinary, and I believe that the martial arts elders will vigorously help. After all, this rebellion is no longer simply an internal matter of the imperial court. ”
"You mean ......"
Leng Qiuhe explained with a little worry: "First of all, this matter will already involve the Central Plains Martial Arts, so the Central Plains Martial Arts can no longer stay out of the matter and sit idly by. Again, it is quite possible that this matter also involves the Tatars. I suspect that the rebels had already made an affair with the Tartars, so they would have so blatantly assassinated His Highness. ”
The prince raised his eyebrows, stroked his chin with his right hand and said, "In this way, if Shaomin's speculation is true, they will make a big move next." ”
"Yes, there will be a big move, and this time it will be very big! According to my speculation, they can make two preparations: first, the Tartars will send a master to assist the man in the Ming Dynasty, and the focus may be on the disadvantage of you, and second, it is very likely that they will start a war with the border pass in the short term, which will not only distract the attention of the imperial court and make their assassination plan succeed, but also take advantage of the fact that the power of the court and China is more focused on the outside, and the inside and outside should be combined to make the situation repeat ten years ago. But I think this time the Tartars will focus on the establishment of a puppet regime, rather than directly destroying the country, one does not have this ability, and the other can strive for a large amount of tribute, completely weakening the Ming national strength. ”
"Hmph, the abacus is good!" said the prince angrily.
"There's another thing that I'm afraid the people behind the scenes didn't think of. He may only want to take advantage of the Tartars, and once the matter is successful, he will immediately turn his face and deny the people, close the door, and let the barbarians shout. But what he didn't expect was that he was likely to be used by the Tatars. You see, as long as the time comes, the Tartars will only be on the battlefield of the army, creating the illusion that a great war is about to break out. The people in the court will inevitably think that the time is ripe and there will be a big move, and at this time, the Tartars will not move, let me rebel against the pacification of the great difficulty, and then take advantage of the chaos while we are dealing with the mess to force the attack, and thwart the Ming army in one go. At that time, our side has just dealt with the internal turmoil in the DPRK, and the atmosphere has not yet taken a breather, and it is bound to be difficult to cope with a new round of more fierce attacks. ”
"How's that okay?"
"It's up to the two of us. It's just that the two of us can restrain the attention of both sides, so that the emperor has enough time to prepare. Then we quickly returned to the court and found out the person behind the scenes. The Tartars will have to change their tactics. ”
