Along the way, Chang Yu was racking his brains to think of a way, and finally he could only come up with a hopeless solution, which was to immediately send a message to Mu Tianbo to ask him to regard peace as the most important thing to temporarily stabilize Wu Bikui, and then guard against Sha Dingzhou.
To prevent his soldiers and horses from entering Kunming, it is best to trick him into the city and kill him. After all, as a chieftain, Sha Dingzhou was often invited to visit Prince Mu's Mansion. It was when he was a guest that he saw the luxury of Prince Mu's Mansion.
Those hangers-on show off their wealth because of their deviant intentions.
"Who is this Sha Dingzhou and what does this matter have to do with him?" Emperor Chongzhen was confused.
"He was originally the son of Sha Yuan, the chieftain of Wangnong in Nanbao, Yunnan. Later, he merged with the chieftain of Amizhou. He was the chieftain of Mengzi and was also the local emperor. He was very powerful. I received news that he coveted the palace of Prince Mu.
If I want to replace him, the biggest variable in Wu Bikui's rebellion this time is him. Wu Bikui doesn't have to worry about it. The one who needs to be on guard is Sha Dingzhou for one, and the Xian thief for two!"
Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and everyone wanted to devour my Zhu family world: "A mere chieftain actually became a native emperor. In fact, he should be killed. Sha Dingzhou was like this. The Mu family guarding Yunnan didn't notice it. Why did they never report this?
thing?"
Chang Yu thought to himself, there are so many people who want to be emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and the Tu emperor is grabbing them everywhere. You are so angry: "Back to the emperor, that Sha Dingzhou is cunning, insidious and greedy. He wins over local officials."
He also bribed Prince Mu's Mansion, which emptied the imperial court's control over Nanbao. The local people only knew that the chieftain was not aware that there was an official! And his father Sha Yuan had always been loyal to Prince Mu's Mansion, so Prince Mu's Mansion did not doubt him."
Damn it! Emperor Chongzhen punched him so hard that the teacups on the table were knocked over. Just as the eunuch next to him was about to clean it up, Emperor Chongzhen shouted angrily: "Get out." The eunuch hurriedly left. Chang Yu stepped forward and held up the teacup.
He got up and filled it again and gave it to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this is all we can do at the moment. First, stabilize my Bi Kui and guard against Sha Dingzhou, and then send an order to Qin Liangyu to ask her to make some moves to contain Zhang Xianzhong. I will go there in person.
Yunnan may be able to avoid this war."
"Are you going to Yunnan?" Emperor Chongzhen took the tea cup and shook it suddenly.
"If I don't go, I'm afraid Yunnan will be in trouble." Chang Yu shook his head and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "How about the emperor sends one or two of his cabinet ministers to go? They are the best at talking nonsense."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "You are still interested in joking, but I'm afraid it's useless to just talk about it. You also need to have thunderous methods. No one in the current Dynasty can match you. It's just that Yunnan is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
I don’t know when I will come back. Not to mention missing the plan for the Western Expedition, it is the trouble in the capital right now..."
"Your Majesty" Chang Yu interrupted Emperor Chongzhen: "The arrows for the Western Expedition are on the string and can be launched at any time. As for the troubles in Beijing, are they really comparable to the troubles in Yunnan? Does the Emperor want me to stay in Beijing to solve the problems or go to the south to solve them?
trouble".
Emperor Chongzhen's face turned red: "It's the south that matters."
Chang Yu thought to himself, you are almost done. At this moment, you still want me to stand up for you. Whenever you have a fight with the cabinet ministers, you want to stand up for yourself. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you will stand up, but now you can always bear the important one.
clean it.
As for who cares about your struggle for power and imperial power, Chang Yu doesn't want to be charged on the front line as a swordsman. He wants Emperor Chongzhen to charge at the front by himself. It's better for him to control the situation at the back. And now it's time to take advantage of this opportunity in Yunnan
The rebels should have a good fight with the cabinet. Didn’t the cabinet say that it was emptied out? Didn’t it say that there was nothing to do? Didn’t it say that everything was decided by the emperor and Dongchang? Come on, come on, the rebellion in Yunnan will be over.
Let them analyze the pros and cons and then ask them what to do?
Don't give me the trouble of dispatching troops and generals. If anyone thinks he can do it, give him the title of governor immediately and ask him to dispatch troops south to support! There are no troops to dispatch, no food and pay, right? Then follow Chang Yu's suggestions just now , sent people to Yunnan to mediate and mediate this matter, let’s see who goes. It’s hard work not only not to be killed by bandits on the way, but also through enemy-occupied areas. Come on, be happy, let’s see who has the courage to go.
When Chongzhen heard this, he said, "Hey, okay, young man, this trick kills two birds with one stone. Four ounces of weight can be used to turn the guest into the host."
When the matter became urgent, Emperor Chongzhen immediately handed over some secret edicts to Jin Yiwei and sent them to various places. Then he summoned all the cabinet ministers into the palace. He was going to delegate power!
Although Emperor Chongzhen still had thousands of words to say to Chang Yu, government affairs were urgent at this time and Chang Yu had rushed all night and had not eaten yet, so he asked him to go back to his residence to rest first and talk to Chang Yu again when he entered the palace in the evening. Chang Yu told him After exiting the Qianqing Gate, they saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounding Tsing Yi, asking curious questions. Tsing Yi looked embarrassed, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, but did not answer.
"Everyone disperse," Chang Yu waved away the crowd and said to Qing Yi, "On the way, you eagerly asked me to take you into the palace to have a look, is that all?"
"The poor Taoist didn't know there were so many people in the palace, and they said they couldn't walk around casually..." Qing Yi's face turned red, and Chang Yu sighed helplessly. Who would have thought that the shy little Taoist nun in front of him could kill people with just a raise of his hand? Ji: "There are many eunuchs and maids in the palace and it's very lively. I'm curious to see you, a little Taoist nun. If you don't want them to bother you, just mention my name. It will be very useful."
But Qing Yi said she mentioned it, and when others asked her who brought it in, she said it was the shopkeeper, which made all the eunuchs and maids confused. After questioning, they found out that it was Chang Yu who brought it in, but Chang Yu said to the eunuchs and maids Always gentle, Qing Yi was too shy to scare them with Chang Yu, so they were surrounded like this.
"Would you like to take you for a walk?"
Qing Yi shook his head: "I'm scared, I'd better go out, I'm so hungry."
"Okay, then I'll take you to my house for a good meal," Chang Yu said. Qing Yi nodded vigorously and followed Chang Yu to Donghua Gate. All the eunuchs and maids he met on the way greeted him happily. Chang Yu He responded one by one, making Qing Yi look at him sideways: "I once heard Master Ninth say that you are very kind to them. It's true."
Chang Yu hummed, his eyes flashing with an imperceptible cold light: "I'm a little too kind to them."
When they left Dong'an Gate, the Yamen's carriage had already come to pick him up. From the moment Chang Yu entered the palace, people went to the Yamen to report. Of course, there were also people who went to report elsewhere. Soon everyone in the capital would know that the great eunuch had returned to the capital.
Chunxiang didn't come, so he went out to the capital for official duties. In fact, it was Chang Yu's instruction to him earlier: let the emperor and the ministers fight, and when the burn comes to you or when you can't hold on, leave the capital and hide, so In the past few days, the courtiers had made a big fuss, pouring oil on the emperor and the Dongchang Yamen, and Chunxiang fled. It is said that he went to Changping for official duties.
Chang Yu did not go to the Yamen. He had no urge to visit the nobles imprisoned in Dongchang Prison. He just wanted to go home, take a bath, eat and sleep.
"Shopkeeper, this is your home." Qing Yi stood outside the Chang Mansion and touched the two stone lions: "It's not as grand as I imagined."
"You will be great in the future," Chang Yu seemed to say casually, and Lao Hu stood at the door with tears streaming down his face: "Master, how much hardship have you endured outside?"
Chang Yu touched his face and asked, "Is it very rough?" Lao Hu nodded vigorously: "Patrol patrols in the winter are too hard..."
Chang Yu put his arms around Lao Hu's shoulders and walked inside: "I didn't suffer at all, but it was really cold." Qing Yi followed him and watched his actions. It was really hard to imagine a powerful eunuch doing this to his servants.
He is so friendly, but he is very strict with the prince. He is fine with talking and laughing on weekdays, but whenever he encounters the bottom line, he immediately gives him a bad rap. What kind of existence is he?
