Chapter 493: Plan

The so-called story of Taizong is that Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, took the lead in Beiping because he was dissatisfied with his nephew Emperor Huiwen's cutting of the domain, and led his troops south in the name of the Qing monarch's side.

This incident is known as the Battle of Jingjing!

Zilong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head firmly and said: "Xiya Gong, although I haven't been friends with King An for a long time, I know that he is benevolent and a rare good vassal king in the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to do the story of Taizong, I, Xu Zilong, will be the first to disbelieve it!"

"I haven't been in a relationship with King An for a year or two, and if I understand it, I'm only afraid that I won't be inferior to you! Therefore, I don't believe that he will do such a rebellious act!" Li Dongyang said the same thing.

"Ah, what are you ...... of Xiyagong?" Zilong asked with a strange look at Li Dongyang.

"I believe in him, but what about his subordinates? When the yellow robe is added, do you think he can control it alone?" Li Dongyang looked at Zilong with a smile, and Chunchun said.

"Hey!" Zilong originally wanted to defend King An, but when he heard the yellow robe and the four words, he suddenly understood, even if King An himself didn't want to, what about the people under King An?

Under the temptation of being able to seize the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty with only one step, let alone King An, I am afraid that even Zhu Youqing, the imperial uncle, may inevitably be instigated and make mistakes.

At that moment, Zilong hung his hand weakly, and said with some dejection: "Is that all there is to it?"

"I only said that I couldn't bring troops to the capital, but I didn't say that I wouldn't let King An get into trouble!" Li Dongyang saw Zilong like this, although he was quite reluctant in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and continue to say, if Zilong wanted to reach the step in his heart, then Zilong must learn this.

"Xiya Gong, please speak!" Zilong collected his expression and asked.

"You can let King An start an incident from Ningxia and roughly hit the vicinity of Datong!" Li Dongyang said softly, "Before arriving in Datong, whether it is a civil official or a military general, I am afraid that there will be no big reaction to King An's affairs." Therefore, before that, it should be Liu Jin's people who sniped Wang An's army. At this time, you need Zilong to be able to exert the momentum of the first battle in Ningxia, and hit the people who are blocking you hard, so that Liu Jin is afraid!"

"Only to Datong?" Zilong also has a rough idea of the geographical distribution of the north, knowing that Datong is one of the nine sides, between Ningxia and the capital, and then there are important towns such as Xuanfu to support, which is really the defense town of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, only to Datong!" Li Dongyang said, "As long as you arrive in Datong, you should have hurt Liu Jin, he should not have much manpower to use at that time, and he must ask the imperial court to come forward to quell King An's rebellion! At this time, it is the time for our Qingliu civil officials to go out, we will ask the person we designate to lead the army, and then take a person who seems to be under Liu Jin's command, but is actually Liu Jin's opponent, as a prison army, leading the army, and confronting King An's army in Datong!"

"Oh, what's the benefit of this?" Zilong heard Li Dongyang's proposal, but did not directly agree, but first thought about Li Dongyang's intention to arrange this.

Seeing Zilong like this, Li Dongyang couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said: "In this way, blocking the army is also those of us who oppose Liu Jin, and the goal of King An's army is also self-evident! We can confront each other in Datong, and then the two sides will contact and negotiate, so that King An will announce the purpose of this army and so on, and then submit it to the imperial court, and then we will work with the generals to make trouble in the court and tell Liu Jin about the chaos of the government." The army is outside, and if you want to come to Zilong, that brother of yours can't protect Liu Jin anymore!"

"It's hard to say!" Zilong listened to Li Dongyang's words and already understood what he meant, just by the confrontation between the two sides and then the formation of negotiations, he could let his brother agree to dismiss Liu Jin, which he really didn't know, after all, this brother was used to being willful, where did he understand!

"Anyway, as long as this kind of army is pressed down, as long as it works well, we civil and military officials will definitely be able to bring down Liu Jin by working together!" Li Dongyang saw Zilong like this, and immediately said.

In fact, he used to be Zhengde's scripture teacher, and he knew Zhengde's temperament much more thoroughly than Zilong.

It is true that even if the sky falls, this ridiculous genius will only find a place to hide and continue to play, and will not punish his playmates at will.

However, the two armies confronted each other not far from the capital, and above the court, many neutral civil and military officials must also be inclined to settle the dispute as soon as possible.

In this way, as long as Liu Jin's support is weakened to the minimum, and then many civil and military ministers stand up together, forming a one-sided public opinion pressure, even if the playful little emperor does not agree, I am afraid that it will not work.

It's just that among them, there is a layer of persecution of the king's meaning, which can only be understood, not spoken, so Li Dongyang can't blatantly talk to Zilong in detail.

After all, Zilong has been in contact with politics for too short a time, so he doesn't understand the laws of its operation.

He saw that Li Dongyang insisted that he could only let King An's army march to Datong, and he also promised to use this to bring down Liu Jin from within the imperial court, and immediately no longer adhered to King An's previous plan, but nodded and said: "Okay! Since Xiya Gong thinks this can be done, then I will return to Ningxia and inform His Royal Highness King An! It's just that the leader of this imperial army, who is Xiya Gong going to choose? You must know that if this person and that prison army are not selected well, it will lead to the start of a real war, I am afraid that Yu Daming will be extremely disadvantaged!"

"Hehe, this old man and Tinghe have already discussed, we have always been interested in Yang Yiqing!" Li Dongyang looked at Zilong with a smile, and slowly said a name that made Zilong extremely stunned.

"Brother Yang?" Zilong was indeed stunned, and then said with some surprise, "Didn't he offend Liu Jin and have already resigned to his hometown?"

"You can rest assured!" Li Dongyang said indifferently, "Yang Yiqing is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs among our civil officials. When His Royal Highness King An beats Liu Jin's men on the way to Datong, he will inevitably ask for our civil officials, and when the time comes, we will launch Yang Yiqing, and Liu Jin knows Yang Yiqing's ability, so it will naturally be a matter of course!"

Zilong was born as a beggar, and the first one to break the knot with him was Kou Jiannan, but he really called him a brother and brother, and pointed out that Ningxia was his mother's clue, but it was the eldest brother Yang Yiqing he recognized.

In the past, Yang Yiqing offended Liu Jin, so he could only lose his official position and resign and return to his hometown to avoid trouble.

Zilong's ability is limited, and he can't help much.

I often sigh that Brother Yang is a talent, both civil and military, but he can only live in the countryside, which is really unfortunate for the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Zilong heard the news that Yang Yiqing could come back, and he was also very happy, but then he thought of the prison soldier again. In the army of the Ming Dynasty, although the military commanders such as the general army could command the battles and affairs of the army, there was the command of the imperial court and the supervision of the army in front of them.

If you want to make the army like an arm, you must not only gain trust with the imperial court, but also make peace with the prison army.

And this prison army, Da Ming has always been filled by eunuchs.

Now there are many eunuchs in the palace, but they are all under Liu Jin.

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, Liu Jin will definitely send his eunuchs to serve as the supervisors of various armies, so that if Yang Yiqing's supervisor is a person loyal to Liu Jin, I am afraid that the war may still break out.

At that moment, Zilong couldn't help but say this question: "Since you have decided on the commander of the army, Xiyagong, I don't know if the words of this prison army have also been decided?"

"You can rest assured of this!" This time King An uprising is actually the result of the joint efforts of Qingliu civil officials and meritorious nobles behind the scenes, so Li Dongyang and others have repeatedly scrutinized the details of this plan, and this will be asked by his son Long, and he also said directly, "If you supervise the army, we belong to Zhang Yong! This Zhang Yong is one of the Eight Tigers, but he has always been in a group with Gao Feng, and he does not participate in the struggle for power and profit of the eunuch party, which is more deserving! In addition, he is the supervisor of the 12th regiment battalion, and it is only natural that he should serve as the supervisor of the expeditionary army! ”

"Zhang Yong?" Zilong's heart moved, remembering that Qian Ning, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei who was named in the family village and desperately protected Emperor Zhengde, it is said that this Qian Ning seemed to be Zhang Yong's subordinate, but he was sniped by Wei Bin and other Liu Jin's hardcore subordinates, so it seems that these two people may really have a contradiction.

Since there is a contradiction between the two, and Li Dongyang said that Zhang Yong can, then Zilong no longer has any doubts, but just nodded, which can be regarded as an endorsement of Li Dongyang's candidate.

Next, Zilong roughly explained the strength prepared by King An for this uprising, and also talked about the preparations made by himself and King An to stabilize the frontier and prevent the Ming Dynasty from changing the situation.

After Li Dongyang listened to it, he also praised it in a series of attacks, and promised Zilong that after the incident, he would find a way to mobilize the Jiliao border army, and together with the Weisho troops in Shandong and Henan, he would go north and garrison the front line of Xuanda, so that Mongolia would not take advantage of the situation, but nominally he would come to exterminate the "rebel army" led by King An.

Zilong was not completely unprepared when he saw Li Dongyang, even if he understood, he was afraid that the court was already ready for this uprising, just waiting for King An to launch it in Ningxia.

At that moment, he didn't say more, and was ready to get up and leave.

Unexpectedly, before he left, Li Dongyang suddenly asked: "Zilong, you are also the son of the first emperor, and you look exactly like your brother, I wonder if you have ever thought about replacing your brother?"

"Huh?" Zilong never thought that this Li Dongyang, such a glorious character, would suddenly say such extremely rebellious words, plus he had never had this kind of thought, he couldn't help but stand on the spot, and after a while, he reacted, looked at Li Dongyang with a straight face, shook his head firmly and said, "Xiya Gong, I have been living in the people since I was a child, and I have been a beggar, how can a person like me become the king of a country!" Besides, this throne has been passed from the first emperor to my brother, so this is already a foregone conclusion, no matter what, I will not, let alone become the Ninety-Five, and please Xiya Gong Don't do such an idea again!"

"Haha......" was almost reprimanded by Zilong, but Li Dongyang was still not angry, just smiled lightly, looking quite pleasant, and then said slowly, "Zilong, you really have the demeanor of the first emperor, but the old man is offended!

"Okay! In this way, Zilong will say goodbye to Xiya Gong, this time he has an exchange with Xiya Gong, but it is better to read for ten years, and Zilong has been taught!" Zilong bowed, and then waited for Li Dongyang to return the salute, and after completing the number of salutes, he also withdrew from this Accord.
