Chapter 450 + Chapter 451 Let the Annan people become a line of writing in the history books
Chapter 450: One-day trip to the Imperial Palace
(The previous chapter has been blocked and can only be modified and integrated here. It is simply too strict.)
"This is my unique pill. There is a worm in it. As long as I push it a little, the worm will naturally come out of it. At that time, it will eat your internal organs until they are all eaten, and then it will come out of your head.
come out."
"Now, I tell you, if you dare to make any slight move, hey, today next year will be the anniversary of your death." After that, Wang Xuan let him go.
The eunuch was trembling but did not dare to turn around. He just lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Ask me, heroes. I will tell you everything I know."
Wang Xuan felt awkward talking behind people's backs, so he said in a novel: "Turn around!"
"No, no, no, I don't dare. I can't see anything. I understand the rules. If you look at the appearance of a hero, I won't be able to survive." This eunuch is not stupid either. He has stayed in the palace for most of his life and is deeply aware of the rules.
I understand a truth: the less you know, the longer you will live.
"I'm afraid of nothing." Wang Xuan didn't care so much, grabbed the eunuch and moved him over.
"Pa." The eunuch covered his eyes with both hands to ensure that he couldn't see anything, "My hero, please forgive me, my hero, please forgive me, let the villain do whatever he wants. You don't need to see, you really don't need to see."
Wang Xuan was so convinced that he stopped insisting and said directly: "Lead the way to the East Palace."
The eunuch didn't talk nonsense, turned around and led the way. Along the way, Wang Xuan listened to the sounds around him, walked and stopped, and arrived outside the East Palace.
When the eunuch arrived here, he started to move slightly. For fear of being directly killed and silenced, Wang Xuan stretched out his hand and tapped the acupuncture points on the eunuch's body, then threw it into the forest next to him. The main thing was that he would need someone to bring the eunuch when he went out.
.
After climbing over the wall and entering the East Palace, the defense here was much laxer. There was nothing we could do about it. The prince was not favored, and the palace did not even dispatch a master guard. The eunuchs around him were only second-rate at best.
The East Palace is also very big, and Wang Xuan is also a little confused. He very much doubts that the palace is so big to prevent assassination. Damn it, if someone unfamiliar comes in, he must be lost.
Using the old method, he secretly captured another eunuch. Wang Xuan directly began to ask about the layout of the entire East Palace and what each palace was used for. After asking, he broke the eunuch's neck mercilessly.
As long as everyone is killed, it will be a successful infiltration - Zhou Shuren.
After hiding all the way to Zui Hongchen's residence, the lights were still on in the palace. Wang Xuan looked inside and saw that the prince Zhu Changluo was here. It seemed that Zui Hongchen was really fascinated by this person.
Guy.
However, if this happens, it may be a little inconvenient to meet.
But Wang Xuan had wasted so much time to come in, and he really didn't want to go in vain, so he gritted his teeth and took out something from the space, which was the legendary... drug that has a sleep-promoting effect.
This was carefully prepared according to the formula in the Poison Sutra, and the stun effect was quite good. Wang Xuan specially collected some as a 'memorial'.
Quietly coming to the window, under the surprised gaze of Qinghongzaobai, Wang Xuan poked a hole in the window paper to quietly blow the smoke in, smeared the antidote under his nose, and the two of them opened the door and walked in.
The damn palace was a bit big, and those who had just fainted were the maids and eunuchs serving outside. Zhu Changluo and Zui Hongchen inside were still safe and sound. After doing the same thing again, the two of them walked in.
It's just that... Zhu Changluo was having some emotional exchanges with Zui Hongchen that were beneficial to his health. Zui Hongchen had obviously found out that he was drugged, and when he struggled to get up, he collapsed on the bed.
Sorry, it seems to have disturbed the prince's good deeds. I don't know if there will be any sequelae.
He walked over and applied the antidote under Zui Hongchen's nose, and then Zui Hongchen slowly woke up.
Suddenly, he found two men in black in front of him. Zui Hongchen, who was still a little dazed, did not dare to scream for fear of provoking someone to kill him. Fortunately, a familiar voice came, "It seems that I didn't come here."
It’s about time.”
Zui Hongchen was startled, shook his head, and slowly saw that the people who came were actually Wang Xuan and Qinghongzaobai, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Wang Xuan a charming look, "Master, it's not the right time to come here."
.”
Looking at Zhu Changluo, Zui Hongchen sighed and pushed him away from him. Zui Hongchen sat up and didn't mind Wang Xuan's eyes. He gently grabbed the gauze clothes on the side and put it on his body.
Ran said: "Why are you here, Lord?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I came to the north to do some things and came to see you." Wang Xuan said, reaching out and grabbing Zhu Changluo's head, looking around, "Is this the prince? He looks so ordinary."
"The prince is also a human being, he can grow into anything."
"Haha, that's right." Wang Xuan sat on the edge of the bed and continued: "I sent six young eunuchs to the palace. You have seen them all. Later I will find a way to divide three of them into the East Palace. What do you want?
It's up to you to decide, whether it's by your side, or by the prince or the emperor's grandson, anyway, you are the biggest in the palace now."
"Then thank you, Lord. I am worried about the lack of manpower. The rules in this palace are strict and the network of connections is dense. One person is really powerless. In the past few months, there have been several attempts to harm me. Fortunately, I am not really
Otherwise, she would be either dead or seriously ill now."
Speaking of this, Zui Hongchen's face was a little ugly. There were many people in the palace, and all the major families or high-ranking officials were crowding in. Even the empresses and powerful eunuchs all had their own manpower and power. Although she was just living
In the East Palace, I feel like there are people peeping at me secretly everywhere. I have been cautiously guarding myself in the past few months, and my spirit has become a little bad.
"It's true that I didn't think carefully about this earlier. Don't worry, I will send a few people from your Baihuamen over later. Whether they are palace maids or others, they will be replaced by your own people gradually. You can't let your own skills fall behind.
In addition to the girly skills, you also need to practice more of the set of skills I gave you that are specifically suitable for women, so that you can save your life at critical moments."
"I see."
"The emperor has less than two years to live. This prince will definitely take the throne. You should pay attention. It's best to get pregnant. Even if you can't succeed directly, I will take action in the future. In addition, you have to be careful with Li Xuanshi, don't be fooled by her.
It’s a trap.”
"I can save it."
"Okay, that's it, I'm leaving."
Wang Xuan stood up and was about to leave, but Zui Hongchen stretched out his hand and asked, "My lord, are you just leaving like this?"
Looking at Zui Hongchen who stretched out his hand and caused his gauze to slip off, Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do!?"
"Everyone in the dormitory has passed out. How could you just leave such a mess to me~!"
Wang Xuan patted his forehead, then remembered, he took out the ecstasy potion and antidote from the space and gave it to Zui Hongchen, "Here they are for you, see if you can use them."
In this situation, Wang Xuan had no choice but to kill and bury him.
On the way out, I sprinkled a little antidote in the outer hall, and it didn't take long for people outside to wake up.
Zui Hongchen could only lie down again, get Zhu Changluo ready, and then put some antidote under Zhu Changluo's nose.
Zhu Changluo woke up in a daze, and before he could react what was going on, he heard the beauty say: "Your Highness is really powerful, and he doesn't pity me."
"Hahahaha, of course."
While Zui Hongchen was coaxing Zhu Changluo, Wang Xuan was already walking towards the palace wall led by the eunuch.
Seeing that he was about to come out, the eunuch finally covered his eyes with his hands and said to the air: "Heroes, heroes, and villains have completed their tasks. Then, can you take out the Gu worm?"
Seeing the eunuch's ridiculously cautious movements, Wang Xuan laughed in amazement and slapped the eunuch's stomach with his palm, and a ball shot out at once, "Okay, get out of here."
"Thank you, hero." The eunuch immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and then he just lay there with his butt stuck out without getting up. After a while, no one even responded to his several calls of hero, and then he took a deep breath and stood up.
.
Oh my God, I'm so lucky. Fortunately, I, old Xue, am clever and determined not to look at it. Otherwise, I would be dead this time.
After coming out of the palace, Wang Xuan had nothing else to do in Beijing. As for Yuan Chonghuan, he didn't go to see him. He still wanted to experience it. There were a lot of things going on in Fujian, so it was time to return.
…
Henan, Songshan, Shaomusi Temple.
The atmosphere in the main hall was dull and depressing. The abbot of Shaomu Temple, the old monk Fang Zheng, looked around at everyone present and said in a low voice: "Everyone, tell me, Nan Shaomu was destroyed, and more than 600 years of hard work of Shaomusi Temple were wasted.
, how to deal with this matter."
"I heard from the information that the devil Wang Xuan deliberately fabricated facts to slander our Shaomusi Temple. He has a terrible intention. In Fujian, he brutally killed Zhongliang and secretly recruited an army. His intention to rebel is obvious. How about...
How about exposing his crimes?" A middle-aged monk said in a hateful voice with a trace of anger flashing across his face.
"It may not be possible." The person next to him shook his head.
"Fang Yuan, why do you say that?" Old monk Fang Zheng turned his head and looked.
"The devil has no intention of covering up his actions. Not to mention that I have found out the news thousands of miles away, I am afraid that several nearby provinces also know about it. It can be seen that he either has no intention of rebellion and is just for deterrence, or
, that is, it is a great trend and we are not afraid of the court knowing about it. Even if we publicize it, it will have no effect."
Several monks around him nodded after hearing this. Although the specific situation was unknown, they all saw Wang Xuan's confidence.
"Amitabha, if this is really the case, it is really necessary to preach it to him." The strange look in Fang Zheng's eyes flashed away, and then he said slowly.
For a moment, everyone looked over, waiting for the abbot's explanation.
The reason why Fang Zheng became the abbot of Shaomu was not because of his great martial arts, but because of his resourcefulness. Before he became abbot, he easily planned the rise of the Huashan sect.
A "Sunflower Book" was used to the limit by Fang Zheng. Not only was it designed to split Huashan, it also led the Demon Cult to attack after the news was released, consuming the strength of both sides at once.
After Fang Zheng took the position of abbot, he once again used the "Sunflower Book" to secretly support Dongfang Bubai, which eventually led to the internal division of the Demon Cult and its strength was also greatly damaged.
Two strategies, without any effort, attacked the two major forces in the world. In the past twenty years, Shaomusi has lived in seclusion behind the scenes, controlling the general trend of the martial arts, making Shaomusi's position as the leader of the martial arts more stable.
Shaomusi Temple has reached its current position and has reached the top in the martial arts world. If you want to go further, you must be the leader of the martial arts world. If that happens, it will be attacked by a group of people. Both the imperial court and the people in the martial arts world will set their sights on Shaomusi Temple.
On the body.
For a wise man like Fang Zheng, this is not advisable.
And the method of manipulating behind the scenes and causing various factions to fight and consume their strength is the simplest and most practical method.
"Brother Abbot, what do you mean?"
"Oh, no matter whether Wang Xuan really doesn't want to rebel, or he is already prepared, we must give him publicity, and we must publicize it vigorously to form a general trend, so that the general trend will carry him and he must rebel. Firstly, he will not be prepared.
Time, secondly, it is not true that there are no enemies."
The monks looked at each other in confusion, "Does Wang Xuan have any enemies besides the court?"
"Of course there is, it's the Jiangnan family!" Fang Zheng said in a cold tone, "This Wang Xuan clarified the land area in Fujian, changed the tax laws, and levied commercial taxes wantonly, killing the people, and ruined many merchant families. Just those seven
There are countless wronged souls in the big family, and Wang Xuan has set his sights on Zhejiang. The next step is to lead an army to attack Zhejiang. This momentum will inevitably spread to the entire south. When the time comes, there will be another loss of life.
Why should all the people in the world be wronged?"
Fang Zheng said such a long list, but the monks around him understood clearly. Regardless of whether Wang Xuan was going to leave Fujian or whether he was going to attack Zhejiang, he had to publicize it like this. Moreover, he would also publicize that Wang Xuan would attack Southern Zhili in the future.
, Huguang, Jiangxi, provoking conflicts between Wang Xuan and Southern Time.
These monks are very familiar with rumors, disguises, assassinations, and other means.
Once there is a conflict between the two sides, the conflict will become deeper and deeper as time goes by. Sooner or later there will be a big war involving their own interests. They know very well what those Jiangnan aristocratic families will do.
It is simply a fantasy to try to compete with the whole of Jiangnan just by relying on the territory of Fujian. When Wang Xuan is weak, they can naturally re-infiltrate Fujian to preach.
At that time, the reason why Wang Xuan has no heirs is the reason why Buddha was angry. Everything now is just burning oil, and he has fallen into the evil way and will die sooner or later.
What do those ignorant people know? They still have no choice but to operate. Although there is no chance of returning to the previous grand situation, it is still much better than Wang Xuan taking power in Fujian.
As for the pure Buddhism supported by Wang Xuan, they think it is child's play and too idealistic. You must know that reality is always cruel.
Once the big plan is made, the people below will naturally carry it out, so they don't have to worry about it.
…
In GD Province, Guangzhou Prefecture, in the government office, Qi Hongliang looked at the secret letter in his hand, his heart beat slightly faster. It was Wang Xuan's greeting to him, asking him to prepare for the situation.
On the other side, Wang Xuan, who has been back in Fujian for half a month, is in the governor's office. Since Li Shantang left, this place has been vacant. Only every half month, Wang Xuan will hold a meeting here to listen to everyone's reports.
On that day, in the past, not all the people gathered here were present, but today, all the core figures from the upper echelons of the Wang Xuan Group, both civil and military, were present.
Above the hall, civil servants and military officers stood in rows on the left and right. Wang Xuan had clearly stipulated from the beginning that civil servants and military officers would not interfere with each other. Moreover, within the entire group, it was important not to seek political power unless one was in his or her position.
In other words, the affairs of the Ministry of War are the final decision of the Ministry of War. No matter how big or small the matter is, other civil servants are strictly prohibited from intervening. Within the civil service, people from other departments are absolutely prohibited from intervening in the affairs of the Taxation Department.
Wang Xuan has more than just six departments here. For example, the household department is divided into three parts: the tax department, the finance department, and the civil affairs department.
The more detailed the work is, the clearer the responsibilities and powers are. Although the relationships between various departments are quite deep, there are checks and balances on each other. The most important thing is that without other irrelevant people pointing fingers, it is really smooth when doing things.
A lot.
Of course, after no one is dictating, the rights are greater, and the corresponding responsibilities are also greater. Once something goes wrong, it is all their own responsibility. For these subordinates, it can only be a matter of good or bad.
However, it is much better for Wang Xuan. Everyone is more attentive at work and takes responsibility. If you don't want to be punished by Wang Xuan, you can only work hard. In addition, there are many departments that supervise each other.
Yes, if you want to use hands and feet, you are still a man.
Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate it. Wang Xuan never thought that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.
"The Lord has arrived." With a shout, Wang Xuan walked up from the back hall. Now that the stall was getting bigger and bigger, he had to do something formal.
"I have met the Lord." Everyone saluted together.
"Okay." Wang Xuan waved his hand, holding a wooden stick in his hand, pointing at the huge map on the side and said directly: "Everyone, look here."
Everyone looked at the tip of the stick, which was "Nan Yue", or "Hou Li Dynasty", also called "Annan".
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. Many people already vaguely understood what Wang Xuan meant, but they couldn't believe it for a moment.
Annan has been a territory of China since ancient times. Annan was named after the Annan Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. It became a territory of China from the Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century BC. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wu Quan separatized Annan and separated from the Southern Han Dynasty, gradually becoming independent.
Vietnam has long existed as a vassal state of China.
In 1406, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, sent Zhang Fu to lead an army deep into Annan. By 1407, he won a great victory and eliminated the Hu family regime in Annan (i.e. the Hu Dynasty), and gained 15 prefectures and 3.2 million people.
.
Since then, Annan has continued to rebel, and Zhang Fu needs to suppress it personally every time. However, as soon as Zhang Fu leaves, he will rebel here. In the 16th year of Yongle, after Annan Li led a crowd to rebel, the Ming army suffered repeated defeats, and despite the Ming Dynasty
No matter how reinforcements were sent, the situation in Annan could not be reversed. In the second year of Xuande, after ruling Annan for 22 years, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty made a decision to withdraw troops from Annan.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month in 1431, Le Li accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, and Annan continued to disturb the border.
Taking advantage of the favorable mountains and rivers, Annan often jumped out like monkeys and invaded various places. Guangdong and Guangxi suffered greatly from this. They frequently slaughtered villages, robbed property, and often attacked county towns. This was already a great harm.
No less than a thousand Han people died every year due to Annan invasion.
However, although the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan, its rule has always been unstable and it was a waste of money and food. After that, the court unanimously believed that attacking Annan would do more harm than good. They would rather set up defenses in the border areas than resolutely prohibit the attack. This is because the attack
There is no way to rule.
In fact, throughout the history of the world, invaders can rule the occupied areas for a while, but they cannot rule for a lifetime. Sooner or later they will have to withdraw.
Of course, there are two exceptions, one is North America and the other is Australia.
So why are these two places exceptions? They all have one thing in common, which is that they killed all the local indigenous peoples.
Master once said, "Kill all those who disagree, and then the rest will all agree."
For someone like Wang Xuan, who particularly respects "Zi", it is natural that he should regard his words as golden rules.
"I'm going to send troops here!" Wang Xuan gently tapped the map with a wooden stick, making a banging sound.
According to Wang Xuan's rules, civil servants had no say in matters such as foreign campaigns, and among the generals, no one would oppose Wang Xuan's wishes.
Now, he is completely arbitrary.
There is nothing that can be done about it. There are no capable people in my hands. The most people are those who are flattering, such as Yan Xuezhen and others... Looking at a group of subordinates, Wang Xuan couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Why are all my subordinates like this?
What kind of people?

In the end, it was the county magistrate of Xincheng, Fang Jingtian, who said, "My lord, this Annan is not easy to fight. It is a quagmire. Once you get stuck in it, you can't get out. Those Annan people surrendered in front of them and rebelled in the back. They are all untrustworthy."
people."
A sneer hung from the corner of Wang Xuan's lips, "As long as there are no Annan people in Annan, then there will be no fear of rebellion!"
Wang Xuan spoke so lightly that people couldn't react for a while. When everyone thought about it, they suddenly woke up to the murderous intent in Wang Xuan's words.
"This, this, this, Annan has a population of more than three million!" Fang Jingtian's eyes widened in disbelief.
Wang Xuan took a deep look at everyone present and said in a cold tone: "Those are all lies. Annan only has a population of 300,000. It just so happens that a large number of slaves are needed to develop Xiaoliuqiu. In addition, the mines in Fujian also need slaves. In the future,
We still need to build Guangdong, which requires a large number of laborers, so let’s use Annan people to do it.”
"Since they are unwilling to obey Wang Hua, then there is no need for them!"
Following Wang Xuan's words, everyone in the room felt a bloody smell floating on the tips of their noses, and anyone could see how murderous Wang Xuan was.
Their lord is not one of those Confucian people who pays attention to being a king and has the bearing of a heavenly king. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xuan rarely pays attention to benevolence and righteousness, let alone those from foreign races.
"In this operation, we will send 30,000 troops, all by sea and land, to attack Shenglong Mansion. We must destroy them in one battle. Remember, we are destroying them. I don't need any survivors."
"In this battle, I want the Annan people to repay all the blood debts they have committed in the Ming Dynasty over the past 200 years, and let these barbarians know what dignity is!"
"After this battle, the Annamites will never have a chance to rebel again. Let them become a line of writing in the history books."
