"Our family doesn't know! How can our family know about the master's affairs..."
Wang Zhong kowtowed, his eyes rolling around.
"Will there be a good end for those who repeat themselves?"
Gu Cheng said coldly: "Since you have recruited King Yin, you have decided to resist the king and still want to sway, you will definitely die without a burial place!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhong was agitated. He seemed to have given up all luck and spoke slowly and authentically: "His Royal Highness, King Xi, has been bribing the ministers and has been plotting for a long time. We really don't know the details. We only wrote down some people!"
Wang Zhong paused, deliberately making his words ambiguous and in line with common sense, and then gave a name as a test: "Yu Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War..."
Gu Cheng's face darkened and he said angrily: "Before my imperial expedition, Yu Qian complained a lot, and he really had counter-intentions!"
Wang Zhong's eyes lit up after hearing this, he sped up, and reported a series of five or six officials, all of whom were in important positions: "... Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Chen Xun, the bachelor of the cabinet, according to our observation, secretly exchanged letters with King Xie
, all have attachments!"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"
Gu Cheng was furious: "Apart from the civil and military personnel who accompanied me on the expedition, are there no loyal ministers left in the capital?"
"Your Majesty, please be patient. Of course there are loyal ministers and righteous men!"
Wang Zhong was well prepared and reported six or seven more names, mostly in the third and fourth grades: "Xu Youzhen, the minister of the Hanlin Academy, and Shi Heng, the governor and co-president... all refused to be recruited by King Tan!"
"Okay! Okay!"
Gu Cheng nodded.
The remnants of Jianwen in the imperial court knew all about it.
Wang Zhong did not say the exact opposite, and there were some dispensable officials mixed in.
The old eunuch thought he was flawless, but he didn't know that he was controlled by the demon soldiers. His negative emotions were amplified, and the pauses and fluctuations in his tone revealed the truth.
The fusion world does not have a complete historical plot as a reference, so this "confession" is crucial.
Gu Cheng judged the situation in the capital, had an idea in his mind, and asked again: "Above the rivers and lakes, what other accomplices does King Tan have? If he usurps the throne, those gangsters will definitely move!"
"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"
Wang Zhong kowtowed and hurriedly said: "The Wushuang City on the Arctic Plateau and the Wentian Alliance on the Thirteen Islands in the East China Sea have long conspired with us. If Your Majesty is protected by heaven and survives, we will send killers to guard all the roads back to the capital!
"
"The ones who sent the killers are the Tianxiahui and the God of War!"
Gu Cheng nodded, and the situation gradually became clearer.
At this time, Harguchuk bowed down and expressed his loyalty again: "I am willing to lead a large army to help your majesty punish the rebel king and destroy the rebel ministers!"
After hearing that the Ming Dynasty was so internally unstable, he also made a calculation in his mind. Although his Majesty was now reduced to the point of being without soldiers and generals, his methods were brilliant and he had the legitimacy of the throne. That King Tan came out as a commoner. Even if he plotted, he would end up with nothing.
Can't succeed.
Therefore, if King Qin helps you now, the Emperor of Heaven will naturally repay you in the future. This kind of alliance transaction is much stronger than simply asking for God's favor.
At the end of the day, it also caused internal strife in the Ming Dynasty, causing both sides to suffer losses and ensuring the safety of Mongolia.
"Don't go back to Beijing yet!"
Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, but looked beyond the wall: "Go north to the grassland!"
"His Majesty?"
The two loyal ministers were astonished, especially Wang Zhong, who couldn't help but worry: "If your Majesty doesn't return to the capital, wouldn't he be taken advantage of by King Xin? What should the ministers do if they accept him as the throne?"
Gu Cheng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter! I have already issued an imperial edict, and they don't dare!"
Wang Zhong beat his chest and stamped his feet: "My Majesty, King Tan is so thoughtful, how can he deliver the imperial edict back to the capital?"
Gu Cheng said coldly: "Now that I'm back in Beijing, can these tens of thousands of soldiers protect my safety under the siege of martial arts masters?"
"The young emperor must be scared!"
Wang Zhong rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Wushuang City and Wentian Alliance want to rebel, Tianxiahui and Zhanshen Temple are loyal ministers. We can order them to join the King in Beijing!"
After saying that, he looked at Gu Cheng expectantly, almost holding his breath.
"joke!"
However, Gu Cheng flatly refused: "My majestic emperor wants people from all walks of life to join the capital to serve as kings? These four major forces all have evil intentions. I will eradicate them all in the future!"
"Do you really think that the whole world is not the land of the king? You are young and ignorant!"
Wang Zhong was disdainful.
The imperial court was naturally at odds with Jianghu forces, so it was normal for the emperor not to rely on Jianghu forces.
But the power of the world in this world is not trivial. Let alone when the dynasty changes, the True Dragon Emperor must rely on its power to achieve success. Even in the peaceful era, he can compete with the imperial court without falling behind.
Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Mingjiao because the tail was too big to lose.
This young emperor is full of energy, and he wants to eradicate the four major forces as soon as he opens his mouth. He simply doesn't know how high the sky is!
"Your Majesty, since Wushuang City has rebelled, then go north to destroy them, shock the Wentian Alliance, and then return to the capital to wipe out the thieves and clear up Yunei!"
Harguchuk didn't think so. When he saw Gu Cheng looking over, there seemed to be hope in his eyes, he immediately raised his chest and said, "I am willing to lead the grassland warriors to eliminate this serious trouble for your majesty!"
This is of course not for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but because there is already a conflict between the Oara Tatars and Wushuang City. They had previously thought that Dugu Sword Master was no longer capable of fighting and were eyeing Wushuang City. Now Harguchuk has inherited his ambition.
"good!"
Gu Cheng's eyes showed approval, and then he looked at Wang Zhong: "You are familiar with Jianghu, do you have any objections?"
Wang Zhong rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Wushuang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack it by force, we may suffer heavy losses. However, in recent years it has been in constant dispute with Tianxiahui. Why not take advantage of the contradiction between the two factions and make them kill each other and reap the benefits."
profit?"
Gu Cheng smiled: "This plan is very good. If you succeed, I will absolve you of your sin and give you a reward!"
"Thank you for Your Majesty's grace! Our family once traveled all over the world for King Xi and won over people from all walks of life. We are very familiar with them and we will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Wang Zhong deliberately raised his voice, pretending to be surprised, and sneered in his heart.
A young emperor is a young emperor after all. He has grown up in the palace since he was a child. Even if he has some scheming intentions, how can he outwit those people in the world who lick blood from their swords and fight around?
The four major forces have achieved today's achievements after decades and generations of ups and downs. Do you want them to kill each other and reap the benefits?
What a daydream!
"Martial arts people don't have much respect for the imperial power. I'll see how you trap yourself, fake emperor!"
Wang Zhong lowered his eyelids to hide the malice and expectation in his eyes, and then looked at Emperor Hater, which was stuck on the ground sideways, with the magic flames spreading, and the ground cracking like a spider web: "Emperor Hatred must have the soul of a Ming Emperor to suppress it.
The demon soul of King Zhou is controlled by my lord! The false emperor, can you escape..."
Just as he was brewing a comprehensive plan, Dihen suddenly flickered in his sight, flew up on his own initiative, and was held by a slender hand.
Gu Cheng took hold of the magic weapon and turned it around, and the magic flames immediately disappeared.
