An Sanxi collapsed and cried loudly, crying, mother, mother.
Yang Fan couldn't bear it. Is it fun to expose other people's scars? Look at what made him, a man in his thirties, cry like a baby.
"Stop crying in mourning. You haven't been caught yet. This is a major case, so your mother has been imprisoned. Your mother has not committed any crime. You are the one who was involved."
"I am willing to plead guilty and obey the law. I just ask you to let my mother go. Wuwuwu."
"Humph, he is still a filial son." Xiao Niangpi curled her lips and said.
"Who did this? Tell the truth. This is a major treason case. You have to think clearly and stop involving your mother." Xiao Niangpi scolded.
"Qian's family, Qian Muzhai's distant nephew Qian Zigui brought people here. The younger one fled and was desperate, so he took refuge in his family as a groom. He brought the young one here just to take care of the horses. The younger one really didn't participate in anything. I really didn’t participate, so don’t involve my mother.”
"Do you think I'm a fool? Such a rabble dares to go to the capital to cause trouble. Do you think the 12th regiment camp in the capital is just a decoration?"
"Young one doesn't know either. He is holding the young master's horse. I heard him and Mr. Xu say that the power of the eunuch Wei is because he represents the emperor. In fact, his own people cannot cover the sky with one hand. Now that the emperor has changed, he It’s been more than a month now and we still haven’t taken advantage of the situation, so many people can’t do anything about it.”
Yang Fan and Xiao Niangpi looked at each other and nodded, these words were true.
It was indeed true. Tianqi had given him power before, and he could dominate the court. Now Chongzhen has always been respectful to him, but just by keeping a distance, he could not borrow the emperor's power. As time went by, the people below would see it.
Now, Xungui is in charge of the military power of the Beijing camp and manages the 12th regiment camp together with the civilian officials. The emperor's attitude is unclear. Who dares to get close to him. The Beijing camp stood still. Looking at the situation, Jin Yiwei has most likely defected to Donglin.
These 3,000 people came to Beijing. Even though there are not many people, 9,000 years old will definitely not be able to handle it.
When Apocalypse was around, he asked for an imperial edict, or even created an imperial edict, and mobilized troops to crush these rogue villains like ants.
But now he can't even think of deploying troops.
"I also heard that they wanted to go to the capital to serve the king and force the eunuch of Wei to return power to the emperor."
Yang Fan couldn't help but said: "The emperor has no power now, does the power lie in the hands of the nine thousand years old?"
"Return to politics and listen to their nonsense."
Yang Fan said: "Didn't the imperial court be completely controlled by Jiu Qian Sui in recent years? They are still scrambling to build a shrine for him."
"People outside don't know how the power of the imperial court operates, so they make random guesses. The late emperor did not go to court and left political affairs to the inner court chief of rituals. He could only control the behind-the-scenes affairs at the age of 9,000. But he never openly monopolized power and sat in court to listen to politics. . They are all done in the name of His Majesty. And everything must be reported to the late emperor and can only be executed with the approval."
"Now His Majesty is in court every day, and all the ministers in the court are not all nine thousand years old. Although His Majesty is a young man, he is very diligent and hands-on in everything. This emperor never treats others unfavorably. He is also very manipulative."
Yang Fan immediately understood the current situation after listening to Tu Shanyue's explanation.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, the previous things naturally came to an end. Everything should proceed as normal. Chongzhen was very diligent and naturally the rights were in his own hands. As long as he did not give him the same rights as before Jiu Qian, Jiu Qian was just a eunuch. It's just that he is more powerful and has more subordinates.
Now he is in a very unfavorable situation. He has been unable to obtain power from Chongzhen and cannot delegate it to him like Apocalypse. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for him.
From the court to the local level, the officials are all talented people, and as time goes by, more and more people understand.
In the past, he was able to mobilize troops because he could get the imperial edict. Now that he can't get the edict, he naturally can't mobilize any soldiers. The nobles can push him back with just one word.
But Chongzhen did not dare to touch him, and had to carefully maintain a relationship with him.
Because the entire palace is controlled by Jiu Qiansu and Ke Baba, the emperor's personal safety is very problematic. This is what the proverb says: a man with a straw is afraid of both ends.
But in general, time is with the emperor, and the longer it takes, the more people in the Nine Thousand Years Camp will be lost.
The emperor's method is not to directly conflict with him, but to spend time with him, gradually look for opportunities to weaken him, and get rid of him when the threat to his own safety is eliminated.
Now that these people are coming to the capital to cause trouble, they must have an inside handle, so they can naturally go to the city gate. If these people make trouble against Jiu Qian Sui, Jiu Qian Sui will be dumbfounded. He can't mobilize the internal eunuchs to suppress it.
Yang Fan said with some doubts: "Wouldn't it be more beneficial to Your Majesty to let them go to Beijing to cause trouble and cause trouble for Jiu Qiansui?"
Xiao Niangpi was speechless, feeling deeply frustrated by this political novice. I had no choice but to say patiently: "Have you read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Of course I have read it." Yang Fan didn't know why she said this.
"What did you say in the third chapter?"
Yang Fan thought for a while and said, "Dong Zhuo is coming to Beijing."
Yang Fan understood. He didn't know who was behind this group of people, so how dare he let them mess around.
Now His Majesty has everything under control and is gradually using his means. How could he allow the situation to get out of control?
One is that the situation is under your control, and the other is that you are not. Which one do you choose? Needless to say.
Yang Fan deeply felt that he was politically immature. His face was a little red.
Seeing Yang Fan's embarrassment, Xiao Niangpi comforted her softly: "No one knows everything from birth. Slowly you will understand. In fact, it is not complicated. It's just about weighing the pros and cons based on your own interests."
"I feel so stupid." Yang Fan sighed. He didn't study much and had been moving bricks on the construction site for three years. Maybe he was not the material for politics.
"Actually, you are already very smart. You can understand many things at once, and you can draw inferences from one instance to another. What you lack is political experience."
Yang Fan thought for a while and said: "I understand why Chen Ke issued this order. Your Majesty's authority comes from the rules. The more people in the world follow the rules, the more stable your Majesty will be. The more people do not follow the rules, the more authority you will lose. These people are breaking the law and disorderly." Ji Wuzhao's coming to the capital is an act of rebellion. His Majesty's use of thunderous means to destroy them will only increase his authority and deter all forces, including Jiu Qiansui. Don't mess around, but play within the rules. Failure to abide by the rules of the game is If it doesn’t work, they are a lesson learned from the past.”
The little girl nodded with satisfaction, as if she was a teachable child. He turned around and asked with a frosty face: "Where do those bastards live? Do they have firearms? What's going on with the Chen family and them?"
An Sanxi thought to herself, here we go again, has this girl ever sung Sichuan Opera? She can change her face faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Returning to the adults, most of the three thousand people live in Xikuoyuan. Mr. Qian lives in Huayuan Shufangzhai. He has no firearms, but only Jianghu weapons. The old man of the Chen family is a Jinshi in the same year as Qian Muzhai. This time he mainly provides five Thousands of loads of grain and grass.”
Things are basically clear. Yang Fan glanced at Xiao Niangpi, you are the superior officer, you can give orders.
"Take him down first and watch, and we'll deal with it later."
"Bring me the map"
Zhang Gaida quickly spread the map on the ground. He drew it based on Chen Guzi's statement. The most detailed part of the entire town and surrounding terrain is the Chen Family Courtyard.
"This compound only has two front and rear gates. The outer wall is more than three feet high. It's impossible to climb up without a ladder. Just block the back door and get in through the front door."
Yang Fan nodded, there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.
Yang Fan asked Zhang Naida: "Have you rested well? Have you eaten anything?"
"Don't worry, sir. I slept for an hour, drank cold water, and ate fried noodles. You can take action soon."
"Okay, Mo Zhui, you lead a squadron to occupy the back door, leaving a small team to seal the door. Then attack the backyard. Control everyone in the Chen family."
"Zhang Gaida, you lead the two squadrons to enter through the front door and go straight to the West Crossing Courtyard."
"Liang Kuan, Chen Dan, and Li Hong, you three are veterans and the foremen who came to lead the workers this time. You three cooperate with Zhang Gaida's actions."
"Donkey Dan, unload all the things from the two groups of cavalry and mount all the servants. We will support you from the center. If any cavalry slips through the net, we will immediately pursue them."
"Huang San, move the command post to the small mound in front."
Everyone raised their hands and said "Here"
On the horizon, a red sun jumped out of the ground, and teams of team trainers quickly rushed towards the Chen family compound.
