After a few simple introductions, he immediately got to the point. Wang Xian has always been so vigorous and resolute.
Wu Wei opened a dark green velvet curtain, revealing an oversized map.
Yang Rong knew what he was looking for. He stared at it and said, "This map is many times more precise than the one made by the Ministry of War."
"The Ministry of War also calls it a map?" Wang Xian stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and teased rather arrogantly: "The ghost graffiti of a three-year-old is almost the same."
"This was re-mapping according to our master's method, using thousands of people." Wu Wei picked up a thin wooden stick, pointed at the map and said: "Before, this map was top secret. Except for itself.
In addition to the accuracy...the small red triangles above are our strongholds; the red dots are our hidden stakes, which are basically all over the capital."
"It's amazing how people look at this picture." Yang Rong said in shock.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Wu Wei sighed: "Within a month, these points stopped from ten to nine, and I didn't dare to move the remaining ones. They were all in a dormant state."
I heard before that Jigang's people had pulled out all the hidden stakes in Fusi, Beizhen. Yang Rong didn't feel anything at all. Now when he saw the scale of the hidden stakes in Fusi, Beizhen, he realized that they were just playing small things in Shanxi.
, is not at the same level as the capital's work. I finally understood how arrogant and crazy Ji Gang's actions were, which almost set off a storm that swept across the capital and beyond!
"Have you noticed anything strange?" Wang Xian said, looking at the map with his hands behind his back.
"What do you mean, sir?!" Wu Wei asked.
"You see, almost all the remaining strongholds are south of the capital, and there are almost no strongholds north and east of the capital." Wang Xian frowned and said: "And the strange thing is that they have ways to attack us.
There are many, so why choose the most laborious and eye-catching one?"
"Unless these strongholds are what they are most worried about." Yan Qing said calmly in the wheelchair.
"Yes, but what are they worried about?" Wang Xiandao.
"North of the capital is the Yangtze River." Yan Qing said: "To the east of the capital, there are large manors with disciplines, including rewards and annexations, which together are as big as a township..."
"You mean," Wu Wei said horrified, "are they doing something ulterior?"
"Otherwise, why would it be like this?" Yan Qing said in a deep voice, "I don't know that it is hidden but obvious!"
"Are they going to rebel?" Wu Wei became even more frightened.
"It's normal if it's the other way around," Wang Xian said calmly: "You don't know, right? In Jiangbei, we were surrounded and suppressed by tens of thousands of cavalry. If Mo Wen hadn't used his troops like a god, we would have been turned into fertilizer."
"What?" Mo Wen and Yan Qing were both surprised now, because Wang Xian only said that he would arrive in Beijing secretly before and did not reveal the truth. Although his subordinates all felt that there was something hidden, no matter how rich their imagination was, they could not imagine it.
The King of Han would use such large-scale measures to deal with Wang Xian.
"Sir, it seems that they are about to rebel..." Yan Qing said with some difficulty: "Looking at their various actions, they are all indifferent and have no interest in covering up. If this is not about to cause a big thing, it is them.
The collective went crazy.”
"It should be like this, that's why they are trying their best to prevent you from returning to Beijing." Yang Rong, who had been listening beside him, also spoke up at this time: "Because you can always make the impossible possible, and now in your hands
There is also the powerful Beizhen Fusi. If I were them, they would stop you from returning to the capital at all costs."
"So I'm so powerful..." Wang Xian touched his nose and said, "Actually, I had expected that they would jump over the wall in a hurry, so I hurried back to the capital, but I didn't expect that they would be so anxious..."
"Have you already expected this?" Yang Rong and Wu Wei asked in surprise.
"The reason is very simple. For these two people, if they don't rebel, they will be doomed." Wang Xian slowly walked to the table and sat down and said: "For the King of Han, last year's consecutive offensives have exhausted his skills, but
The prince resisted, and his hope naturally became slimmer. Moreover, the emperor gradually realized that someone was framing the prince last year. Although he did not say it explicitly, his attitude towards the prince was much better. Not only did he lift the ban, but he also ordered him to supervise the country again.
However, he was no longer as doting on the King of Han as before. The proposal launched by Hu Guang's disciples to "please change the kingdom for the King of Han" is proof of this. The emperor's ambiguous attitude frightened the King of Han, and in the end he could only resort to a bitter trick.
Get through this.”
After Wang Xian finished speaking, he picked up the cup of tea to moisten his throat and stretched out his hand to signal Mr. Yan to continue.
"It is estimated that by this time, the King of Han was completely disappointed that the emperor would change his will." Yan Qing had no choice but to continue: "Because the emperor was so angry last year that he did not depose the crown prince, which shows that the crown prince's position is still very stable. And with that,
As the grandson grows up and the emperor gets older, the status of the prince becomes even more unshakable. Therefore, there are only two options before the King of Han - either get rid of the prince or become a vassal!"
"For an ambitious person like the King of Han, keeping a vassal state is tantamount to sitting back and waiting for death, and once the prince or grandson ascends to power, there is no guarantee that he will not be liquidated. As for getting rid of the prince, although it is the same as rebellion, considering that
The emperor only has three sons, so it is unlikely that he will be killed as well. So the King of Han probably thought that the emperor would accept this result..."
"When I was in Shanxi, I often heard that the King of Han regarded himself as Li Shimin and insisted on turning Tiance Guards into his bodyguards. In this way, wouldn't the Han Dynasty Palace become Tiance Palace?" Yang Rong said in shock: "I didn't expect him.
I really want to repeat the Xuanwumen Incident."
Yang Rong once heard someone say that Zhu Gaoxu's idol was Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. When he met people, he would often say: "I am brave and martial, am I not like the King of Qin, Li Shimin?" This made Yang Rong, who was far away in Shanxi, shudder when he heard this. It was so touching.
The feeling that history is about to repeat itself.
Because Zhu Gaojiu and Li Shimin are both the second sons of the emperor. Zhu Gaochi corresponds to Li Jiancheng, and they are both eldest brothers and princes. Even their younger brothers have a corresponding relationship - Zhu Gaosui corresponds to Li Yuanji, and they are both the third sons of the emperor. In this way, Zhu Gaojiu's subtext is
It's very clear - Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng and became emperor; Zhu Gaoxu killed Zhu Gaochi and became emperor.
History is always surprisingly similar. Zhu Gaoxu very much hopes to replay the scene hundreds of years ago...
"The King of Han wanted to be Li Shimin, but it's a pity that he is not Li Yuan..." After hearing Yang Rong's words, Yan Qing said coldly: "After the Xuanwu Gate incident, Li Yuan had to abdicate to make room for Li Shimin. If the King of Han killed the prince, wouldn't it be possible?
Do we have to make the same mistakes as Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty today?"
"That's impossible. Today's profound strategies, courage and decisiveness are far beyond those of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty!" Yang Rong said: "As long as he is around, the Ming Dynasty will not be overturned!"
"That's right. If the King of Han dared to carry out the Xuanwu Gate Incident, how could the Emperor tolerate such an unfaithful and unfilial brother-killing fanatic alive?" Yan Qing said coldly: "If this continues, it will probably be a snipe and a clam fight.
, the fisherman will benefit!"
"You mean...King Zhao..." Yang Rong couldn't help but look at Mr. Yan in a wheelchair with admiration.
"It's King Zhao!" Yan Qing said: "His eldest brother and second brother will kill each other to the death. No matter who wins or loses, I'm afraid there will be no good end. The emperor only has three sons, so naturally he, the third child who stays out of the matter, will benefit.
"
"Although King Zhao has hidden his secrets deeply, in the past two years, we can still find clues about his evil intentions. For example, Jin King Zhu Jiyi succeeded in gaining power by falsely accusing his brother with the support of King Zhao. The White Lotus Religion Liu Zijin's rebellion is also inseparable from him.
So I think he is quite ambitious and means, and the way he realizes his ambition must be to encourage the King of Han to rebel!" Wang Xian nodded and said: "As for Ji Gang, not to mention, the emperor's series of events earlier this year
His actions had long given him the fear of 'the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked', so it was reasonable to instigate the King of Han to rebel."
"It seems like this." Wu Weidao: "Only in this way can we explain why the King of Han and Ji Gang are too lazy to do anything superficial now. Because in their eyes, His Highness the Crown Prince is already dead..." At this point,
He couldn't help but think in his heart, if it came time for a face-to-face confrontation, the prestigious Beizhen Fusi would be worse than a random guard.
"Actually, they are very careful." Yan Qing said: "For example, they spent great efforts to pull out the hidden stakes of the Zhenfu Division, just to avoid being exposed as much as possible, so that they can launch more suddenly. As for those who openly robbed food and fought with weapons
This behavior is actually the consistent behavior of the Han Palace. As long as the emperor is not in the capital, they will always behave like this, so there is no need to be strange."
"Then what if he sent two guards to surround and kill the Lord?" Wu Wei said a little unconvinced: "You can't keep this matter secret, right?"
"People will say that those two guards and horses clearly happened to be training, okay?" Wang Xian answered this time: "Even if there was a battle, it was a misunderstanding. After all, they were a thousand elite cavalry and half of them were Mongolians.
It's reasonable for Fengyang Guard to say that he misunderstood. Even if the emperor really pursues the responsibility, he will have to punish each of them fifty times." Wang Xian scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "After all, my guards seriously exceeded the standard."
"What about the battle at Banqiao Station?" Wu Wei asked.
"You can also use the Mongols as an argument..." Wang Xian sighed and said: "There are people in the court who are easy to talk to. Even if they kill me, it will be a manslaughter. At most, they will dismiss a few officers and investigate, and there will be no serious consequences."
"It's really lawless!" Yang Rong did not expect that the horrific scene in Jiangbei, which was similar to a rebellion, would have such a result.
"So it is easy for us to judge that the King of Han and Ji Gang will rebel." Wang Xian said calmly: "But it is even more difficult to make the emperor believe it. Not to mention making the emperor believe it, even making the prince believe it is not easy."
"The trouble is not small." Wu Weidao said: "The emperor is far away in Beijing, and I don't have the right to secretly record the report. I can only make the prince believe it first, and then make any calculations."
"That's the truth." Wang Xian nodded and said: "But we can't let others ride on our necks and shit!" He said with a heavy fist and said: "We must fight back immediately! No matter what they do to us, we will be very angry.
