The sound of dense footsteps overwhelmed the sound of rain, and the people in Jinan City were also awakened from their sleep. They secretly opened the windows and took a look. The streets outside were already blocked by armored and sharp Jinan Guards. Looking down from a bird's eye view, both ends of the street were already filled with black armored sergeants, full of murderous intent and ready to fight.
One person was at the head, striding forward, saluting Zhu Gaojie and saying loudly: "The commander of the Jinan Guard will lead the Jinan Guard to five thousand-household stations on the left, right, middle, front and back. Each thousand-household station has one thousand and one thousand households." One hundred and twenty people, a total of 5,600 people, all Sergeants Xiu Mu have been summoned to return to the team and are waiting for the prince's instructions!"
Zhu Gaojie asked: "Is everyone here?"
The commander of the Jinan Guard said: "Fang Bairui and his subordinates were absent without any reason, and all the others are here."
The atmosphere at this time suddenly became strange. Jinan Guards, who had been furious just now and wanted to avenge Fang Bairui, suddenly saw his immediate boss acting respectfully in front of his enemy, and realized that something was wrong.
Ah, this... is really embarrassing.
Zhu Gaojie said: "Where is Fang Bairui?"
The Jinan Guard commander's mouth twitched slightly when he saw Fang Bairui's body in the bloody mud.
You killed Fang Bairui and the body hasn't cooled down yet. You ask me where to put Fang Bairui?
Zhu Gaojie saw the look of the commander of the Jinan Guard and knew that the person he just killed should be Fang Bairui who was absent. The 120th person who just caught up to avenge Fang Bairui should be Fang Bairui's 100 households.
The scene was quiet for a long time, and Zhu Gaojie said to the commander of the Jinan Guard: "I visited Shandong and had a very pleasant chat with your Shandong chief envoy, Mr. Song. I didn't expect that the soldiers were in such high spirits that they happily pursued him with their swords. Lord Song Street, it seems that Lord Song’s reputation is also very popular in Shandong.”
Song Yejigan smiled and said: "The soldiers of Jinan Guard are so enthusiastic, I am honored."
The two sang in harmony, and the commander of the Jinan Guard understood the implication and couldn't help but lower his head in shame: "Incompetent and incompetent!"
Although Song Yeji did not achieve any great political achievements during his reign, he was also the chief envoy of Shandong after all. He cannot be said to be firmly in the top spot in Shandong, but ranking among the top three is not a problem.
As a result, in Jinan City, he was chased by the Jinan Guards. As the commander of the Jinan Guards, he was more than derelict in his duties. He should have hanged his seal on the beam and committed suicide long ago!
Shen Qingyu asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why is this Jinan Guard commander here?"
Zhu Gaojiao chuckled and said: "I came to Shandong in secret. Naturally, I will not bring troops and horses. However, I, King Qi, who is ordered to supervise the country, still have the power to mobilize the Shandong army. Jinan Wei and the King of Han are not the same group. Damn it, do you really think that the King of Han wants to vassal Shandong and that he is the local emperor of Shandong? I have the tiger talisman to mobilize the various guards in Shandong."
Shandong is not the king of Han's one-word hall. At most, he is the "Minister of the Underground Organization of Shandong". Relying on the power of the Hanwang's Palace, he builds bridges and builds a huge dark network. Every node on the network is controlled by the Hanwang's Palace. The officials of Yinzi worked for the King of Han secretly.
But in just a few years, the King of Han would not be able to poison and corrode the entire Shandong. The one who could really control Shandong was not Song Yeji, the chief envoy, nor the King of Han, the "underground minister", but the imperial court.
Zhu Gaojie carries the name of Supervisor, and the power of the whole country is given to one person. Although he, the Supervisor, cannot mobilize the army of the capital, if he goes to other provinces, it is no less than the emperor's personal visit.
This is only in Shandong. If Zhu Gaojie goes to Jianzhou Province and Koryo Province to conquer and construct his own system, he can ignore the emperor's imperial edict.
It's just that this kind of thing is very rare. The reason why the Jianguo is called the Jianguo is because it is the destiny of a country. It is no different from being an emperor, but it is not as free as an emperor, so it is rare to get the opportunity to leave the capital.
Zhu Pangpang has been supervising the country for so many years, but has never stepped out of Jinling City. In addition to being extremely busy with the many important tasks of supervising the country, it is also because the emperor is unwilling to hand over power, because once the person who supervises the country goes to other provinces, his local prestige and power will be lost. Soaring straight up.
The last person to supervise the country was Zhu Biao, Prince Yiwen of the Hongwu Dynasty. The affairs of the country were flourishing and he was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Shaanxi to inspect Xi'an. He died of illness soon after returning to Beijing.
Although Zhu Biao died, he was able to visit other provinces as a supervisor when he was alive, which shows how popular he was. This also paved the way for the ascension of Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen to the throne.
After Zhu Gaojie came to Shandong, the first thing he did was to use tiger charms to mobilize Shandong's troops. Shandong was not his home court, nor was it the home court of the King of Han. Whoever had more troops would Shandong's home court.
In fact, Zhu Gaojie still had something to say to Shen Qingyu.
——He not only mobilized the Jinan Guards, but also mobilized the Pingshan Guards in the Jinan Corps defense area. At this time, the Pingshan Guards were also in Jinan City, but they did not show up.
The Yanzhou guards, the Yanzhou left back, and the three guards of Jining Prefecture among the Lu King's vassal kingdom are also rushing to Jinan. At the same time, Zhu Gaojie's secret letter had been delivered to the King of Qi in Qingzhou. Although Qingzhou's left guard, middle guard, and right back guard had been revoked, the Qingzhou guard was still retained and was nominally under the jurisdiction of the King of Qi. Zhu Gaojie's With the tiger talisman in hand and in the name of King Qi, Qingzhou guards can be mobilized to restrict the Han palace in Qingzhou.
King Qi is a sensible person and should know which team to stand at this time.
There are many hypocrisies in the world, many deceptions in human relationships, and good and evil have been preserved since ancient times. It is better to trust others than to trust yourself, and to guard against others, do not have faith. If something can be eliminated, its roots must be dug up; if a person can be killed, his name must be punished; if he wants to inflict crimes, he must be determined; if he wants to seize his career, he must be destroyed. Being violent and then showing mercy will lead to trouble; being decisive but not being patient will lead to failure.
The reason why the backhand is called the backhand is because Zhu Gaojie's layout is like an onion. After peeling off one layer, there will be another layer, guarding Ling's hand with one hand.
No one in this world can be trusted, the only one who can trust is yourself.
…
The King of Han's final plan also ended in failure.
If Song Yeji, Shen Qingyu, Li Laoer and others can be killed and the witnesses disappear, then even if the old man punishes them, the strength of the Han Palace will not be shaken to its foundation.
But now King Qi came and saved Song, Shen and others. As soon as he came, he took control of the various guard posts in eastern Shandong. Like a bolt from the blue, the Han Palace was cornered.
Zhu Gaoxu never expected that King Qi would end up personally.
Also, so far in the fight, the Han Palace has used all means. If King Qi continues to control remotely from Jinling City, he will definitely not be able to defeat the desperate and red-eyed King of Han. Only King Qi himself can take charge of the overall situation.
But now, King Han seems to have only one way to go.
If that road had not been taken, the outcome of the Han Palace would undoubtedly have been that King Qi found a breakthrough in the assassination of the Chief Envoy, followed this breakthrough to pierce the heart of the Han Palace, and wiped out all the party members in the Han Palace. Song Yeji was left to take charge of the Han Dynasty and monitor the Han palace, so that Zhu Gaoxu would never be able to stand up again.
Zhu Gaoxu himself also knew that as long as he did not rebel, no matter how bad the situation was, King Qi would not be tempted to kill him. The title and treatment of King of Han would definitely be retained, but he would never be able to take a step closer to the throne for the rest of his life, even for a sneak peek. Not even qualified for a glance.
He would rather die standing than live on his knees.
The King of Han knew that he had no way out.
…
At Prince Han's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu gently kissed Princess Han's white forehead and said softly: "Don't be afraid, the sky won't fall."
Princess Wei of Han sighed: "Can't we not go?"
Zhu Gaoxu said softly: "In the second year of Yongle, I was named King of Han and you were named Princess of Han. I told you that year that we don't care about princesses. Sooner or later, I will fight for a queen for you. If you don't go this time, How can I win a queen for you?"
Princess Han's bright eyes and white teeth showed a hint of sadness: "I never wanted to be a queen. When I married you, you were just the carefree Prince Gaoyang in Beiping City. I am satisfied that I have made it this far, our family is safe and sound, why do we need to get involved in that whirlpool that is difficult to escape from?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "You said it yourself, it is a whirlpool that is difficult to escape from. I have long been unable to escape. I have to move forward or die."
The Princess of Han was silent. She knew clearly in her heart that the King of Han was not trying to fight for himself as a queen. He was clearly trying to fight for himself as an emperor.
The burly Prince of Han in front of him had already stepped into the abyss of darkness, and he would not give up until he reached his goal. During the time of Jingnan, King Yan Zhu Di seduced him again and again, making King Han completely lose himself.
Zhu Di said: Your son is often ill, so you should encourage him.
It is true that the old man has indeed kept his promise and deposed the then crown prince and later crown prince Zhu Gaochi as the king of Gan.
However, that position is no longer up to the King of Han. If the King of Han does not work hard, that position must belong to King Qi.
At this point, Princess Wei of the Han Dynasty could only close her eyes that were wet with tears and said to her husband: "You can go now. After you go, there will be no regrets."
Prince Han took a deep look at his princess, turned around and walked out.
Different from the affectionate mood behind the door, there was a murderous wind blowing outside the door like a knife drinking blood.
Hundreds of dead soldiers stood outside the door, wearing light iron armor on their upper bodies and equipped with scimitars on their waists. This was the most elite blade in the hand of the King of Han. They spent a lot of money to cultivate it. They were loyal to the King of Han. Each of them was The fierce soldiers who emerged from the army had participated in the Jingnan and Northern Expeditions with the King of Han in the early years. After the King of Han left the vassal, they trained all day long in the unknown mountains around Le'an, just to gather strength for today.
Today, Su Qing was not dressed in feather-fan cloth as in the past. Instead, he was dressed in a long gown as black as ink, with a feather crown on his head. His face was solemn, and he had the demeanor of a prime minister.
He has been advising the Han Dynasty for more than ten years. He is the most trusted adviser of the Han Dynasty. He has no reputation and no official position, but he is responsible for all the secret plans of the Han Dynasty. He is an indispensable person in the Han Dynasty. .
The King of Han knew that his left brain was not fully developed and his right brain was not developed at all. Although he was better than ordinary people in terms of strategy, compared with monsters like Zhu Gaojie and Zhu Gaochi, his wisdom was as dim as grains of rice and stars under the bright moon, so he attached great importance to Su. green.
Since his brain is not enough, let Su Qing be his brain.
Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the room and stood in front of the door in silence for a long time.
The cold wind kept blowing, tugging at the clothes of everyone in the hospital, and thick dark clouds gathered in the sky. The east wind has been blowing throughout Shandong in the past few days, blowing the gloomy lead-colored clouds of Jinan to the sky above Le'an, Qingzhou.
The King of Han opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and he shouted loudly: "Taizu founded the country, and left the teachings of his ancestors. If there are traitors in the court, future vassals will not be able to protect the country. Now King Qi is such a beast, monopolizing the government, causing harm to the country and the people. Lu Chaoyang, the royal guard, slaughtered countless people, which made people and gods angry. Yang and Xia used power to cause chaos, which led to the collapse of the imperial court, a smoky atmosphere, and people's resentment for a long time. The emperor is old, but he is not tied to Qi. I am the emperor's legitimate son, and I can help the country to be upright. ambition."
"Today, I am in peace with Heaven. Which brave man is willing to follow me to revive the Ming Dynasty?"
This string of words was compiled by Su Qing and the King of Han after private research for a long time. The people of the Central Plains must pay attention to the name and the right words when fighting. This is especially true for the rebellion of a noble royal family. If the name is not right and the words are not right, the war has not started yet. The people down there are in trouble.
He has to tell his people that we are not going to rebel, we are going to restore the Ming Dynasty and do justice!
Most of the army sergeants were illiterate. They didn't know what the emperor's attitude was. They just listened to the officers' deception and followed the rebellion in a daze. They thought it was just an ordinary counter-insurgency. How could they imagine that what they were doing was rebellion? kind of trading.
Rebellion is not that easy. It is a road of narrow escape. It is even more difficult to rebel in the prosperous times. If the rebellion succeeds, the generals will be promoted from the rank of dragon to the rank that should be promoted and the title of the title. In short, they will be proud of the spring breeze and have horseshoes. Aren't you very brave and waving flags and shouting?
But the soldiers under my command risked their lives to fight, and after surviving a narrow escape, the benefits did not fall on them at all. Even if there were gods and men who killed the enemy bravely and made great achievements, it would be difficult to climb up. To sum up, What a loss.
Therefore, in order to get these people to work for him, a proper reason for causing trouble is essential, and it must also sound reasonable.
With Zhu Gaoxu's cultural level, it is difficult to come up with such a high-level reason, but he has a talented person like Su Qing beside him. Su Qing's mind turned around and he came up with the reason why His Majesty the Emperor rebelled. Although it was replaced by There is a set of rhetoric, but the core content remains the same, which is "Fengtian Jingnan".
After the success of Zhu Di's rebellion, in order to consolidate his throne and emphasize that his rebellion was justified, he has been working hard to make the word "Fengtian Jingnan" stalwart. Now the people of Ming Dynasty are inexplicable when they hear the two words "Jingnan". It felt so righteous, but it actually gave Zhu Gaoxu an advantage.
Your appeasement is a just act, and my appeasement is also reasonable. If you veto my appeasement, it only means that there is something fishy about your appeasement.
Zhu Di, you don’t want to be labeled a rebel, right?
Su Qing's sleight-of-hand routine can be called a bug. It was played brilliantly, but the nominal problem was solved, but the actual problem did not make any progress, which is the most important step.
——How can you successfully rebel?
The reason why Zhu Di was able to successfully rebel was because Emperor Jianwen's succession to the throne was not in accordance with the ritual system. He was Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson rather than his son, and Jianwen was not the legitimate son of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao, but a grandson from the concubine line. But the problem is not big. The prestige of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao is strong enough. As long as Zhu Biao is the emperor for a day and the emperor for an hour, no one will have any objection to Zhu Yunwen.
However, Zhu Biao failed to become emperor, so Zhu Yunwen was not a legitimate successor. The vassal kings who held military power at that time did not have a good impression of this nephew, and said that it was fine for me to become the emperor.
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang's body was still cold after his death. Jianwen, who had just ascended the throne, couldn't wait to start violently cutting down the vassal vassal, completely forcing everyone with military power into unbearable.
Despite this, Jianwen was still able to secure the throne, but this god's "micro-management" resulted in the death of millions of troops in his hands, and his military talent was no less than that of Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who studied abroad.
At that time, King Yan faced Zhu Yunwen, a sand figure, while Zhu Gaoxu faced Zhu Di and Zhu Gaojie, two of the top generals in the world.
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaojiu picked them out randomly. Zhu Gaojiu thought it was seven to three, and he was three to seven. What's more, the two "fourth brothers", Zhu Laosi and Zhu Xiaosi, joined forces. Zhu Gaoxu didn't mention anything about seven, three, zero and ten, and he was directly torn apart.
No matter how he said it, he had to fight this battle.
Su Qing cupped his hands and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the prince to help the country be righted!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow the prince to right the country!"
The eyes of the King of Han are shining brightly. If King Zhu Di of Yan can do it, he can do it too!
As for Qi King Zhu Gaojie?
Wait for death!
