At this point, what else does Zhang Fu not understand? He, a fisherman who thinks he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, is simply a monkey to be played with! When it comes to conspiracy and conspiracy, he, an undefeated hero on the battlefield, is far from comparable to Wang Xian
.
That was Yao Guangxiao's former disciple, a god who even Zhu Di was no match for...
In fact, the truth is more shocking than Zhang Fu thought. Wang Xian did return to the capital for a while. But in order not to be exposed, he basically didn't show up. He didn't even need to plan the story. Wu Wei, who was in the capital, didn't ask.
, Liu Sheng and others have taken care of everything.
The reason why Taisun and Xungui were completely defeated was largely because their actions were too slow and left their opponents too much preparation time. You must know that before Emperor Hongxi ascended the throne, Wang Xian and his group had already concluded that Xungui
They must have a fierce conflict with the emperor, so Wang Xiancai insisted on leaving the capital to avoid falling into this whirlpool and unable to extricate himself.
It's just that although Wang Xianren left, his attention never left. Under his instruction, Wu Wei and others began to make arrangements in advance for possible conflicts. For more than half a year, the Jinyiwei ceased operations in accordance with the emperor's will on the surface, but secretly
But he tried his best to investigate every move of Zhu Zhanji and his nobles.
If the grandson and nobles had attacked the emperor at the beginning of his succession, Wang Xian and his side might have been caught off guard. However, after more than half a year and nearly a year of preparation, they were already confident of victory. They could even deliberately allow the other side to perform, and then use it in the most advantageous position.
Deliver a fatal blow at the right time to gain maximum benefits.
Going back to the days of the conflict between the late emperor's Anchu and Changling, just one day later, Wu Wei had already sent the whole story to Wang Xian's desk. As long as he knew how far the conflict had reached, how could Wang Xian not be able to judge that Xun Gui
The day of our showdown with the emperor has come?
In addition, Jin Yiwei detected that Zhu Zhanji had frequent contact with the nobles. How could Wang Xian not judge that His Highness Taisun would also play an important role in the conflict? This is really unusual, because if the nobles won this
In the contest, the emperor's authority will fall to the bottom. As the prince and the actual heir to the throne... Although Zhu Gaochi has been reluctant to rectify Zhu Zhanji's name, anyone with a little political wisdom knows that this is just a temporary suppression.
, doesn't really change anything.
Don't forget, Zhu Gaochi was able to survive twenty years of ups and downs under the late emperor's hostility, and finally successfully took over the throne, because of his identity as the legitimate eldest son! He was the crown prince of Prince Yan, personally named by Emperor Taizu, and Zhu Di wanted to
If you want your empire to last, you must maintain stability, so you can only restrain the urge to abolish the direct descendants and establish younger ones, and let Zhu Gaochi take over the throne and firmly sit in the position of crown prince.
Although it is said that at the last moment, Zhu Di wanted Zhu Zhanji to ascend the throne instead of the crown prince, but it was because he was old and frail and regarded himself as his number one enemy that the change occurred, which cannot be judged by common sense.
By the same token, unless absolutely necessary, Zhu Gaochi would not pass on the crown prince's position to a prince other than Zhu Zhanji. That was the crown prince's grandson for more than 20 years, the real eldest son!
This truth is not only understood by Wang Xian, but also by Zhu Zhanji. Normally speaking, even if he has quarrels with his father over trivial matters, he will definitely stand by his father on major matters related to the survival of the imperial power.
The emperor's side. Unless he can get more from this coup - then it can only be the throne!
After figuring this out, all the questions were easily solved. Because it was absolutely impossible for Zhu Zhanji and a group of nobles to directly challenge him to usurp the throne, he must have the rumored imperial edict of the late emperor in his hands, and there must be something in the edict that he could not do.
Conditions, so Zhu Zhanji didn’t take it out at the first time!
As for what the conditions were, Wang Xian could say without humility that it would be so difficult for His Highness Taisun to do so only if it had to do with himself. As long as he thought about Emperor Yongle's hatred for him, the content of the conditions would become clear -
You must kill yourself to ascend the throne!
Even Zhang Fu can figure out these truths, Wang Xian has no way to understand them. Once he understands these, there will be no secrets in his opponent's actions! Jin Yiwei even designed several plans for the nobles, targeting each one.
Precautions were taken in every plan. Although, with the support of the continuous intelligence from the Jinyiwei secret agents, they knew from the beginning what kind of actions the British Guild would take, the Jinyiwei was too powerful, and they had defeated the emperor.
Hedongchang's super intelligence agency doesn't even need to worry about "good steel is used on the blade", it can wipe out all of them without any difficulty!
This situation often occurs when killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.
Of course, such a victory must be a crushing victory, without any suspense...
This is an unfair contest with disparity in strength from the beginning. With the emperor's complete trust and support, Wang Xian is invincible. Zhang Fu and Zhu Zhanji know this well, and Wang Xian will not
He was so naive that to this day he still thinks others will underestimate him.
Therefore, everyone knew that as long as Wang Xian returned to the capital, all the turmoil would subside. No matter how dissatisfied the generals were, they would not dare to make too many mistakes, let alone challenge the emperor, or even try to force the palace to seize power.
But Wang Xian will never return to Beijing in advance. That will only make a wedding dress for Yang Shiqi and others, and the loss will be his own interests. Today, even the emperor can no longer ask Wang Xian to be loyal and patriotic regardless of gains and losses.
Because in essence, the two of them are no longer just monarchs and ministers, but collaborators who work together to protect each other.
But Wang Xian will never wait until the situation gets out of control before returning to Beijing. After all, Emperor Hongxi is also his patron saint. If those nobles really drive the emperor out of power, Wang Xian's good days will be over!
Therefore, he must return to the capital at the most appropriate time, so that the nobles will see their plans, and the emperor and civil servants will be extremely frightened, so that he will appear as the savior and turn the tide!
This time point is after the emperor and the nobles have returned to Beijing, but the problem is that the nobles also know very well that he will return to Beijing at this time! If the nobles knew that he would come back, they would probably choose to be a coward.
This is not in line with Wang Xian's interests and future plans.
Therefore, it is necessary to create an illusion of going south to Wudang Mountain to make everyone believe that he will not return to Beijing, so that the nobles dare to give it a try. But it is extremely difficult to make opponents believe that this is an obviously unreasonable move. Even
It can be said that this is the most difficult part of the entire plan.
Wang Xian thought about it for a moment, and estimated that if he were Zhang Fu, he would not believe that Wang did not return to the capital at this time, but went to Wudang Mountain to propose marriage. But at the same time, he must long for this absurd fact, because it is true in history
There are so many incredible things that reverse success or failure. So Zhang Fu must have an ambivalent mentality of not being able to believe it, but desperately trying to confirm it.
Once there is this kind of speculation and luck, as long as there is a conclusive evidence and there is no counter-evidence, the balance in Zhang Fu's heart will collapse instantly and he will choose to believe that Wang Xian did go to Wudang Mountain!
Therefore, Wang Xian could only go to Wudang Mountain to propose marriage, instead of returning to Nanjing to see his parents. If he returned to Nanjing, although Zhang Fu could not send people to the scene for verification due to the same distance and time, Nanjing was still the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago.
, is no less important than Beijing. I don’t know how many forces’ bases are still there. It’s hard to say whether Zhang Fu will use flying pigeons to send letters to verify with various parties to confirm whether he is really in Nanjing.
No matter how powerful Wang Xian's Jin Yiwei is, it is impossible to block all Zhang Fu's information channels, so Nanjing is absolutely impossible.
The situation in Wudang Mountain is much better. Huguang is still a remote area in this era, and Wudang Mountain is in the deep mountains and old forests. It is unlikely that Zhang Fu specially trains homing pigeons to contact Huguang. Even if there is one, it must fly to the province
The city is in Wuchang, and it takes more than ten days to go back and forth from Wuchang to Wudang Mountain, and the day lilies are even cold.
Therefore, Wang Xian can be sure that if he chooses Wudang Mountain, Zhang Fu will not have any channels to confirm his whereabouts. In this way, Zhang Fu will not have any counter-evidence. There is only one conclusive evidence left to convince him.
And Wudang Mountain can provide just such evidence that can convince Zhang Fu - ever since the night of King Zhao's rebellion last year, Taisun Yingtai was in danger, and Hu Hao surfaced. Wang Xian has been interested in this man who has a close relationship with him and is ostensibly loyal to the royal family.
, in fact, the ambitious master maintained a high degree of attention.
Once one is targeted by the Jin Yiwei, there will no longer be any secrets. This truth, which has been verified countless times in the Ming Dynasty, is equally valid when it comes to the mysterious Hu Hao.
Through investigation, Wang Xian discovered that this Wudang master who had been secretly pursuing Emperor Jianwen for nearly 20 years had once established an underground spy organization for Zhu Di, and had made it successful and prosperous. Unfortunately, he was finally caught
It was Zhao Ying who built Emperor Wen, and with the precedent of Ji Gang, Zhu Di no longer trusted foreign ministers, so it was Zhao Ying who finally established Dongchang, and Hu Hao had no choice but to hand over more than ten years of hard work.
After returning to Wudang Mountain and feeling depressed for several years, Hu Hao was recalled to the capital by Zhu Di. This time his mission was to protect His Highness Taisun. This was a promising career. Once Taisun ascended the throne, he would transform into Minister Tuogu.
But he didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse, and it would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who finally ascended the throne. His dream of being a "minister of entrustment" could only be postponed indefinitely...
However, compared to Zhao Ying who took away his hard work, Hu Hao was much luckier. Now the governor of Dongchang, who was determined to be famous for generations, has been ruined and missing. The Dongchang he built has also been wiped out in history.
After the disbandment of Dongchang in Changhezhong, Hu Hao took the opportunity to secretly recall many of his old subordinates and also absorbed many former masters of Dongchang. For this, His Highness Taisun, who had always suffered from having no spy power, naturally welcomed it with both hands and saved money and expenses.
Feed this secret power.
Of course, while helping his grandson with errands, Hu Hao would also do some private work, such as establishing a carrier pigeon connection with Wudang Mountain...
