Outside Jiang'an City, Zheng Tianyu came to a small village in white clothes and white horse.
He was still the same as before, unhurried, unhurried, and magnanimous.
His white clothes are fluttering in his writing skills, his martial arts skills are full of heroism, and he is a good young master in both civil and military skills. He is undoubtedly the best in the state.
But this Jiang'an city seemed to be in conflict with him, or to be precise, it was Xia Jingyun who was in conflict with him.
Ever since he met this Xia Jingyun, Zheng Tianyu had never been smooth sailing.
He was singled out for literary meetings, singled out for debates, and even when he went to a brothel to sleep with a woman, he was inadvertently humiliated by the other party.
Now he is letting the other party step on his head and has become the most popular young man in Sishui Prefecture.
But in the eyes of many established dignitaries, Zheng Tianyu's performance in the past few days has won their increasing favor.
After successive failures, he was still able to maintain a peaceful mind and maintain his calm demeanor as always. This made these old men who had experienced the ups and downs of the world and were used to seeing amazing talents and stunning looks feel even more satisfied than when he was in his previous glory.
As one grows up in life, with such a character, coupled with a family background that can still be regarded as outstanding talents, he may not be able to achieve a successful career in the future.
There are even some quick-thinking people who have gone out to "burn the cold stove" with great fanfare in the past few days.
It's rare for Mr. Zheng to be "in trouble". After passing this village, I'm afraid there won't be this shop in the future!
However, everyone does not know that Mr. Zheng's peace does not come from his character, but from a grand plan of the Zheng family and his son.
Zheng Tianyu walked into the study deep in the house with a calm expression.
The small courtyard where the study room is located is full of guards dressed in green attire. When they saw Zheng Tianyu coming, they bowed to say hello. Zheng Tianyu also returned the greeting in a friendly and friendly manner, worthy of a courteous and virtuous corporal.
Pushing the door open and entering the room, his father Zheng Yuanwang was looking at a map at his desk. Without raising his head, he ordered, "Sit down."
Zheng Tianyu sat down at the table and said softly: "Father, Tian Si has brought people here. He has about a thousand capable warriors who are currently lurking in Niujiao Mountain in the north of Jiang'an City."
A few days ago, Zheng Tianyu wandered around the state in the name of studying and suppressing bandits. In fact, he was secretly connecting these things.
When it comes to suppressing bandits, it is normal to suppress more and more.
Zheng Yuan sighed and pointed to the map on the table, "Jiang'an City has only two roads in total, the north and the south. The north road bifurcates at Fengchui Gorge. As long as Fengchui Gorge is held, the north will be helpless."
"Right now, there are three groups of Wudang Army in the north. Since Song Renxia let Tian Si come over, it means that he has not violated the agreement. Next, he only needs to withdraw his group in time as promised, stand at the mouth of Fengchui Gorge, and hold off the other two groups. Stay safe."
"As for the south, the road bifurcates at Yaowang Mountain on the outskirts of Wanfu County. One leads to the county town, and the other continues south to Yongchang and other counties. According to previous news, the two roads to the south to suppress bandits have penetrated into Yongchang County. , even if we had already gone back when we learned the news, it would still take about four days, and by then the overall situation would have been decided."
"I have asked the county's central government to lead 200 dead men to defend Yaowang Mountain. Tonight, Jia Songzhi will start from the county's central government, and about a thousand people will come to respond. The south is also secure."
He looked at the son in front of him who he had high hopes for, "Think about it, is there anything else missing?"
Zheng Tianyu turned his eyes on the map, going through all the things he had thought about day and night in his mind, and murmured: "At that time, Jiang'an County Lieutenant will open the city at night, and we will encourage the labor camp workers to consume the guard strength first. Then use Tian Si's military power to strike down and control the dignitaries in the city. There should be no mistakes in this, but father."
He looked at his father, who had been keeping a low profile for more than ten years, "What if the court goes all out, ignores the powerful people in the city, and fails to meet our demands?"
"Hahahaha!" Zheng Yuanwang laughed loudly, "Does he dare? If he does this, all states in the world will rise up immediately! Dynasties that do not treat people as human beings often exist, but dynasties that dare not treat powerful people as human beings will not be It’s allowed! If you dare to make such a decision, then it will be exactly what I want!”
"What's more, this so-called blackmail is not the only thing I rely on. As long as Sishui Prefecture is reduced to a puddle of mud, the court's huge amount of money and food, and thousands of unemployed soldiers will be our capital to achieve great things. Then you My father and son are sitting in Sishui Prefecture and watching the world, and great things can be expected!"
At the end of the story, Zheng Yuanwang changed from the good old guy he used to be, and became majestic and full of pride!
Zheng Tianyu looked at his father, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question that had been growing in his heart these days.
"Father, why do we have to act like this?"
Zheng Yuanwang looked at his son, knowing in his heart that his son was having random thoughts again.
At this time, young people are not used to the dangers in their career and life, and they are always pretentious. At the same time, they have unrealistic expectations for the future, and they often make some wrong judgments.
As an important pillar of his future, it was necessary for him to talk to his son about these things.
He sat on a chair and said slowly: "It has been more than three hundred years since the founding of Daxia. The previous dynasties and the previous dynasties of the previous dynasties all died more than two hundred years ago. Why can Daxia continue to this day? There is a monster. , the military god Jiang Qingxuan, when the late emperor came to the throne and all sides rebelled, he subjugated all parties, held their leaders accountable, and continued the life of Daxia for nearly forty years. With him around, no one from all sides dared to take responsibility. A standout bird."
"But first of all, Jiang Qingxuan is a human being after all, and people have a lifespan. Now he is nearly eighty years old and unable to lead an army on an expedition. This is where the opportunities and courage of all parties lie. Secondly, he is just a soldier, and he can use force to reach the gods. In the end, we treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The difficulties of Daxia lie in the lack of virtue in the emperor, in the lack of moral integrity in the nobles, in the shamelessness of the gentry, and in the fact that the people have no way out.”
"The current world is extremely dangerous. Otherwise, do you think that Sishui Prefecture is just in this situation, and the gang of paper framers in the central government directly invited Concubine De to make this trip? Aren't you afraid that there will be real turmoil, and one person will not be able to contain it? If you stay, the world will be in chaos."
He looked at his son and said, "You feel that you are very powerful and have an extraordinary family background. You feel that you can gain a great future by just doing your job, but you don't know how deep the water is. Why have I worked hard for half my life and ended up in this position of prefect?" Obscurity? Those royal relatives, those noble families, their descendants can ride on your head even if they are pigs, are you willing?"
He snorted coldly, "Since the end of the ancient dynasty, the harem has interfered with politics, the eunuchs have wielded power, and the relatives have been domineering. Daxia now has all three poisons. How can it survive?"
Zheng Yuanwang stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, his eyes blazing, "As long as I raise the flag of righteousness, when the prairie fire begins, I will be the one who initiated it and will be respected by the rebels all over the world. At that time, you and I, father and son, will be watching from Surabaya. When the situation is clear, we will vote for the founding king. He will be able to become the founder of the country in one fell swoop. Even if the situation in the world changes, he may not be able to see the supreme position! My son, think about it, are you still willing to be a county governor? "
Zheng Tianyu's mouth went dry after hearing this, "Really...can it really happen?"
Zheng Yuanwang snorted, "Do you think the princes in the court are stupid? Why did our plan go so smoothly this time? It was indispensable for the secret help of these people! They! Aren't some of them already planning their retreat and future?"
"It's pitiful that our Majesty is still thinking about amassing money to expand his inner treasury and build the Tianbao Tower that he has always been thinking about. Do you think there is any reason for such a big Xia to survive?"
Zheng Tianyu was completely convinced, with a burning look in his eyes.
It seems as if I have seen that a few years later, more than ten years later, the beautiful picture painted by my father has become a reality, and people have called him "Little Duke", "Little Prince" and even "His Royal Highness".
"But there is still a small problem at the moment." Zheng Yuanwang frowned slightly, "Did you find anything about the Xia Jingyun you mentioned earlier?"
Zheng Tianyu shook his head, "Don't worry, father. He has found no trace. He has obviously given up."
"That's good. This matter is very important and affects the whole clan. We must be cautious and cautious."
"Son, don't worry."
"There is no need to worry. It will only take another hour or two, and the gods will not be able to change their ending. Pack up and prepare to leave for Niujiao Mountain!"
"yes!"
------------------
In the military camp of Wudang Army, Xia Jingyun did not find the leading general Jin Jiancheng.
After asking, I found out that he had gone to the Yun Mansion in the city with his soldiers, preparing to attend the high-level dinner that was preheated in the evening with Concubine De.
You are a warrior, why are you so active in eating...Xia Jingyun cursed, asked for a horse, and ran directly to Yun Mansion.
"Xia Gong..."
The guard at the entrance of Yun Mansion saw Xia Jingyun, and before he could shout out his greetings, Xia Jingyun rushed into the manor with a whirlwind.
What a polite, virtuous and good young man, his true colors have been revealed in just a few days...
Xia Jingyun ignored the guards' murmurs. He rushed in and asked questions, and finally found Jin Jiancheng outside the kitchen in the backyard.
This guy was watching with great interest a master chef playing with the roast chicken, and from time to time he would give some tips on techniques.
"General Jin! I have something to discuss with you."
Jin Jiancheng didn't look back, "Go ahead."
He admired Xia Yunfei very much, but he had no interest in Xia Jingyun, a scholar with a strong temperament.
"General Jin, please take a step to speak."
"No time."
Xia Jingyun stepped forward directly, took his arm and walked out.
"Eh? Don't go too far, kid!"
Xia Jingyun said: "My sister is looking for you, just tell me whether you want to go or not!"
Jin Jiancheng had no choice but turned to the master chef and shouted, "Leave me a good roast chicken!"
Pulling him all the way, Xia Jingyun brought him to Concubine De's residence.
Feng Xiuyun heard the commotion and came out quickly, surprised and said: "You are crazy, this is the residence of the empress."
Xia Jingyun said solemnly: "Ask my sister for advice and tell her that I have extremely important things to discuss with her and ask her to find a convenient place."
After a while, Concubine De sat down in a wing room and looked at Xia Jingyun, "It's okay here. I'll ask Xiuyun to guard the door. If you have anything to say."
Xia Jingyun glanced at the two of them, "Jianning Prefect Zheng Yuanwang has colluded with the bandits and intends to rebel. He will capture Jiang'an City tonight and kill all the powerful people in the state! Please order the capture of the father and son first, and then the whole city will be on alert!"
