Inside the carriage.
Su Yang was already a little tired.
He can't wait to reach Peiping now.
Chatting with the old gentleman in front of me is really tiring.
Let's chat, let's have a good chat. Why are you always talking about national affairs like me, a young man from the market?
They just talked about national affairs, but after a few words, they started to encourage me to go to the Imperial College to study and cultivate virtue!
Su Yang couldn't remember how many times he rejected this old gentleman.
"Su Yang, you are a piece of rough jade. As long as you polish it a little, you will definitely become a pillar of the imperial court in the future..."
Seeing that the violence started again, Su Yang smiled helplessly and decided to strike first.
"Old sir, has the food shortage in Peiping been resolved?"
Bao Zhao was stunned when he heard this, laughed twice, and then chose to shut up.
The memorial was submitted, and he had full confidence that His Majesty the Emperor would agree.
After all, the new emperor has always loved his people like a son!
After a moment of silence, Bao Zhao found another topic.
"Boss Su, what do you think of the imperial court's decision to cut down the vassalage this time?"
"See with your eyes!"
"..."
Ahem, you kid is really chatting to death!
Bao Zhao glared at Su Yang angrily, his beard almost standing up.
The little girl on the side saw this and hurriedly took cover.
"Ms. sir, how could you talk to this old gentleman like that!"
"We must respect the old, love the young, and be polite people!"
Su Yang: "..."
Numb!
Completely numb!
Just because the old gentleman gave Xiaowan a jade pendant, this little money-loving wife immediately rebelled!
Now that his wife has spoken, Su Yang can no longer restrain her and can only pamper her!
"I dare to ask the old gentleman, since the imperial court wants to cut off the vassal vassal, why not just cut off the King of Yan?"
"The King of Yan is the leader of all the kings, and he has a high prestige among the frontier troops. He is far beyond the comparison of other vassal kings. Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor even understand the simple principle of 'capture the thief first?'"
It is true that compared to directly attacking the King of Yan Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen chose the seemingly safer method of boiling the frog in warm water.
But precisely because of this, it gave Yan King Zhu Di the opportunity to accumulate troops and counterattack the imperial court!
Although boiling frogs in warm water is safe, it is not absolute.
You are tricking Zhu Di step by step. He is not a real frog. How could he not notice it?
Su Yang couldn't understand. There were countless capable people in the court, so how could they formulate such a stupid plan?
Bao Zhao's face darkened when he heard this, and then he sighed.
"In fact, the vassal king that the emperor has always been most afraid of is none other than King Zhu Di of Yan!"
"When the emperor was still the grandson of the emperor, most of the kings enjoyed many privileges and all had heavy troops. Over time, they would become a nuisance to the court. Especially the king of Yan, Zhu Di, who had strong soldiers and horses, repeatedly spoke to the emperor who was still the grandson of the emperor. It’s disrespectful, so it has become a serious problem for the emperor!”
"So after the emperor ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately started to cut down the feudal vassals. However, because King Yan was always good at using troops and the northern soldiers were very brave, he was a little hesitant."
"Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War, supported the capture of the thieves first and the capture of the king first, and first cut off King Zhu Di of Yan, but Huang Zicheng, minister of Taichang Temple, disagreed. Considering what the emperor should be called a virtuous name, he should start with those lawless kings and cut down the vassals, and formulated a The plan to trap and kill King Yan Zhu Di..."
"Cut off your wings, cut off your food and grass, and take away your military power!"
Before Bao Zhao could finish what he said, Su Yang said it for him, and it was exactly as he had guessed.
Bao Zhao took a deep look at Su Yang, and his heart was already shaking!
Only a few senior executives knew about this trap and kill plan. How could Su Yang know about it?
"Old sir, you don't have to wonder, it's really obvious what the court did."
"The first one to be operated on is King Zhou Zhu Di, the sibling mother and brother of King Yan Zhu Di. The purpose of cutting off King Yan's wings is too obvious!"
"The second step is to cut off the supply of grain and grass in Peiping. This matter has already caused a big fuss. Even the shopkeeper of the ordinary salt shop and grain shop knows about it. King Zhu Di of Yan is not a fool. How could he not see it?"
"As for the third step, depriving Yan King Zhu Di of his military power, it must be about to happen, right?"
In a few words, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's painstaking plan to trap and kill him was revealed!
Bao Zhao looked at Su Yang blankly, he no longer knew what to say.
With just a few clues, we could deduce Qitai Huang Zicheng’s plan to eliminate the vassal!
This Su Yang is really a monster!
After being silent for a long time, Bao Zhao finally came back to his senses.
"What do you think, Mr. Su, of this trap-and-kill plan? This is Qitai Huang Zicheng..."
"not so good!"
Su Yang shook his head disdainfully!
He really felt bad from the bottom of his heart!
If Lao Shizi's "trap and kill plan" is really awesome, can Zhu Di succeed in appeasing the enemy?
"Again, whether it's Qitai Huang Zicheng or our Emperor, they all take it for granted and are too idealistic!"
"If this trap-and-kill plan is used on other vassal kings, it might be able to achieve the effect they want, killing a vassal king without any blood!"
"But it would be too ridiculous to apply it to King Yan Zhu Di! He, Zhu Di, has been fighting with the barbarians all year round. He has never seen any conspiracies and tricks. It is not easy for the court to kill King Yan so easily! "
In the final analysis, a scholar is a scholar and a scholar is a scholar.
Zhu Yunwen and his scholarly court are all a group of armchair scholars and literati!
"His Majesty the Emperor's scholarly court has too many armchair scholars and literati!"
"Don't they understand that a fighter plane is fleeting? He directly sent the imperial ministers to arrest him and sent a large army to suppress it. Does he, Zhu Di, have any power to resist?"
"Now that we are executing the trap-and-kill strategy, it will only frighten the enemy and put King Yan Zhu Di on guard. There is no chance for a simple solution anymore."
"Oh, scholars govern the country, and scholars govern the court!"
Su Yang smiled contemptuously again, not hiding his contempt for Zhu Yunwen and others.
When you become a cousin, you still need to erect an archway!
If you want to reduce your vassal status, you have to worry about your own reputation!
Such a stupid idea, who will lose if you, Zhu Yunwen, don't lose? !
Bao Zhao's face gradually darkened, and he wanted to retort, but in the end he was speechless.
Why didn't he understand the principle of "capture the thief first, capture the king"? However, His Majesty the Emperor obeyed Huang Zicheng's words. He always kept saying "Mr. Huang" and could not listen to the opinions of others!
Now listening to Su Yang's analysis, Bao Zhao's uneasiness becomes even stronger!
This time he came to Peking, ostensibly to capture the criminal Zhu Gaoxu, but actually he was waiting for an opportunity to capture the King of Yan Zhu Di!
But the imperial court has already alerted the snake, so how could King Yan Zhu Di be willing to just sit back and wait for death?
I'm afraid this time it will be in vain!
Bao Zhao sighed.
"Boy Su, I heard that King Yan Zhu Di is ill."
Su Yang: "..."
Really hammered!
That eldest cousin must be from King Zhu Di of Yan!
"Do you also think that his illness is too strange?"
"Ah, yes, yes, it is indeed a bit strange!"
Su Yang nodded strangely.
Nonsense, how can that not be strange?
The idea of pretending to be sick was given by Su Yang!
On the side, Zhu Wanqiu was holding back her laughter until her face turned red, and she could hardly bear it anymore.
"Boy Su, I thought that Yan King Zhu Di was pretending to be ill!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
"Trying to use this to get through and let the criminal Zhu Gaoxu escape the criminal law!"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
"Boy Su, are you hungry?"
"Ah, yes, yes..."
Bao Zhao: "..."
Su Yang: "..."
