The skinny young man had a nightmare in the early hours of the morning, and he never fell asleep after that. In the early morning, he sat exhausted behind the desk in the main hall, his mind groggy. When he heard Yang En's hoarse and dark voice saying, "Young Queen Mother, you are young." She sneaked into the Chu land and met the Lord of Liang by chance, and they became friends with each other; when the Chu disaster happened, the Queen Mother sneaked into the Chu territory with the Lord of Liang, and they shared weal and woe." Her back suddenly sat up straight, her eyes glared, it was hard to believe that she was the princess of the clan. What will Yang En say next.
Shen Yang, Du Chongtao, Zhou Bingwu, Zhang Han, Guo Liang, Gu Zhilong, and Huang Huixiang all couldn't believe it. They didn't expect Yang En to mention the "old affairs" between the Queen Mother and Liang Lord Han Qian in today's court meeting. !
Yang En's voice was terribly hoarse, as if a worn-out old bellows was leaking air. He stood in front of the palace and said: "The world is divided and the people have been suffering for a long time. The tens of thousands of generals in Jinling are unwilling to fight anymore, but they don't want to fight anymore." The only person who can trust the king and ministers of the Liang Kingdom is the Queen Mother who has married..."
Qingyang seemed to be in disbelief that Yang En would say such a thing, and walked away. The skinny young man, like an angry calf, picked up a jade paperweight on the imperial desk, threw it at Yang En, and angrily said: "You are like this Nonsense, how can you deal with the late emperor and the ancestors of the Yang family!"
Yang En was hit in the chest by a jade paperweight. He grunted, swayed, and did not move away. He stood there with a pale face.
Zhang Ping saw that the young emperor was angrily trying to seize the ritual knife from the guard's hand, and hurriedly went up to hold the young emperor back. However, he also looked at Yang En sitting in the palace with confusion, but he didn't know why he came up with such a bad idea. !
Did Han Qian send people to persuade him to come forward?
However, even if Han Qian was determined to win the Queen Mother, why would he make it so embarrassing?
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Marquis Yang is also worried about state affairs and is talking nonsense in a hurry!" Du Chongtao, Zhou Bingwu, Gu Zhilong and others came forward at this time to persuade the young emperor to calm down.
"You are such an old fool. What shame do you and I have to go to the late Emperor?" Shen Yang sat on the throne, his chest heaving with anger. After a while, he pointed at Yang En and scolded, but then he He coughed violently and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
If it weren't for Gu Zhilong next to him with quick eyes and quick hands, Shen Yang would have hit the stone ground...

"Look at this idea you came up with,"
Everything that happened in Chongwen Palace was reported to Tangyi City on the north bank that night. Feng Yi got the secret letter that had just been sent, spread it out in front of Wang Wenqian, and said dissatisfiedly,
"If Shen Yang is so angry that he asks Yang Bin to stab Yang En to death, it will be a big joke!"
"The difference between peace and annexation is huge." Wang Wenqian picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard. "The main thing about Han Qian marrying Princess Qingyang is not to make it easier to solve the Sichuan-Sichuan problem. But to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Jiangnan..."
"How do you say that?" Feng Yi asked puzzledly.
Their initial plan was that after shelling Jinghai Gate, Fu Gengwen would lobby Gu Zhilong or any other minister to come forward and advocate for surrender.
Feng Yi did not expect that after entering Liyang and meeting Wang Wenqian, "forced marriage" would be included in the overall plan.
As for what happened between Han Qian and Qingyang secretly, Feng Yi would definitely take an active part in it. Before, he felt that the "forced marriage" incident was a bit of a distraction. Now he learned that the Chu king and his ministers were in Chongwen Hall. In response, I felt that things were more complicated.
Besides, he had never had a good impression of Wang Wenqian, and he was not polite in his words.
Currently, Han Qian is staying in Liyang in person, and the "forced marriage" issue is mainly led by Feng Liao, Feng Yi, Yin Peng and others who came to Tangyi to secretly take charge. When Feng Liao left, he specifically asked Wang Wenqian to accompany them to Tangyi.
The city came to make plans.
Faced with Feng Yi's doubts, Wang Wenqian said calmly:
"It has been thirty years since the founding of Da Chu. There are not many people in Jiangnan who still remember the previous dynasty in their hearts. They have long regarded themselves as subjects of Da Chu. This is a very difficult problem..."
Feng Yi's thinking was more accustomed to soldiers coming to block it and water coming to cover it. He sat down thoughtfully and asked: "Why is this a difficult problem?"
"Since ancient times, there has been no annexation of the world without bloodshed. If your Majesty was not so generous and merciful, he would directly march his troops across the river and kill a hundred thousand people, whose heads would roll to the ground. The killing would make those scumbags tremble with fear, and the so-called Great Chu would be
It disappeared into thin air, no one thought about it anymore, and then your Majesty wanted to implement the new policy in Jiangnan, but no one dared to try it."
Feng Liao sat aside and sighed, saying,
"However, your Majesty doesn't want to kill someone whose heads are rolling down, and at the same time, he doesn't want to postpone the implementation of the New Deal in Jiangnan - in fact, it cannot be postponed. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be to implement it. In this way, some unnecessary hidden dangers will inevitably arise.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality - without the bloodbath of people, the New Deal will be forcibly implemented in Jiangnan. Do you know how much resentment and resentment will be hidden in the hearts of the old country people?
One, do you think that ordinary people who have benefited from the New Deal will definitely think about the goodness of the New Deal and the goodness of Luoyang? The New Deal will definitely bring changes to the lives of ordinary people. Even if most of these changes are good, but
As long as a small part of it is not so good, you should know best how people's hearts will change."
"It's not a kindness to show kindness, it's just revenge if you don't give it back." Feng Yi said.
"The truth is not complicated, but the human heart is the most difficult to grasp. The Northland has been crippled, and it is easiest to deal with all the waste. The chaos in Jinling did not spread too widely, and it calmed down quickly. No one will think about it.
No matter how much credit they have for the emperor, they will only think about the thirty years of general peace that the Chu State has brought to Jiangnan - on the one hand, this will strengthen the people's sentiments about their motherland in Jiangnan, and on the other hand, it will also weaken the desire to implement the New Deal on the surface.
Necessity and urgency, thus forming a stronger and wider resistance in Jiangnan. When this is combined with the so-called sentiments about the motherland, the problem will become even bigger. Not to mention, there is another feeling in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.
'Young Emperor' is here..."
Feng Yi thought that under the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops, all problems would be solved, but he did not expect that Feng Liao and the others were still worried about so many problems.
"There is another factor, that is, after the annexation of Jiangnan, the spread of new learning in Jiangnan will not be slowed down, which determines that there cannot be a moment's delay in solving these hidden worries," Yin Peng said, "Just like artillery, unless it is not used, once it is
In terms of use, with the steel smelting in Jiangnan and other places, the level of casting has increased rapidly. There will be no obstacles in refining gunpowder and casting artillery in various places - whether it is Zheng, Zhang Chao, Zhang Han, Zhang Wei, Zhang Feng
, Gu Zhilong, even Huang Hua, Yang Zhitang, and Du Chongtao are now extremely honest, and they seem to be ready to switch sides at any time. Zheng Hui was also very polite to the secret envoys we sent in Prince Xing's Mansion, but Xin Xue is in Jiangnan and even Lingnan.
Once central Guizhou is thoroughly promoted, it’s hard to say whether they will remain honest..."
Feng Yi could understand the need to complete the "unification of the world" in a true sense before the new learning and new techniques were completely spread, but he still sympathized with Yang En's situation.
Shen Yang is a stubborn stone, and only Yang En can truly win his respect. At this time, he has to push Yang En into the fire pit with his own hands. He can't bear to think about it:
"We can't ask Cai Chen to persuade Yang En to do this."
"Only Yang En can understand this, and only Yang En is willing to sacrifice himself," Feng Liao said. "It is never easy to annex the world. I hope that your Majesty can be more decisive and ruthless! Now Yang En stands Come out, we need more people to know next. If they don’t stand up and follow Yang En to remonstrate with him to persuade him to marry, the Chu army will simply surrender. It will never be able to avoid all the subsequent purges. The world is not that easy. The advantage can be taken advantage of..."
The reason why the marriage proposal became the most critical step on the eve of the annexation of Jiangnan was because it had many functions. On the one hand, it was to clarify that when Han Qian went south, he implemented a "harmony" rather than an "annexation" of Chu State's identity and legal system. , on the one hand, it lays the foundation for the subsequent settlement of the Sichuan-Sichuan issue, and on the other hand, it requires the so-called important ministers and generals of Chu State. If they want to protect themselves, they must "self-defiled" and remove themselves from their positions as leaders of clans and clans in various places. Go up and down.
In the eyes of Feng Liao, Wang Wenqian and others, only in this way can some problems be truly "peacefully" solved. Otherwise, if Daliang soldiers and horses march into Jinling City, even if the Chu army does not resist and chooses to surrender, the follow-up will inevitably be Supplemented by a series of cleaning methods, it is possible to resolve many hidden dangers and consolidate the rule of Jiangnan and other places...
