"Okay, okay, Yang Xu, you are really capable, I didn't mistake you, at such a fast speed, I got the evidence of King Zhou's rebellion."
Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Youjiao's confession and was happy to look at the color road.
Xia Xun owed a debt and said dryly: "Emperor Xie praised, Weichen just did his duty." ” Luo Kedi glanced at him with a smile, and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Although the Jinyi Guard has been drastically reduced, fortunately, there are still some people who are calm and experienced in doing things, and the envoys assigned by the emperor will naturally do their best.
In the future, if the emperor has any send, as long as he orders it to come down, the Jinyi guards will still try their best to be loyal to the emperor, and the two generations of Weichen father and son will do things for the court, and what they think is only the emperor's thoughts. ” Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, Huang Zicheng said that it is best to leave this matter to Jinyiwei, but it is absolutely impossible to indulge Jinyiwei, give them too much power, and restore their former glory, and now Luo Kedi said this, obviously wanting to seek more power.
But now is the time to employ people, and he can't be too cold in his mind, Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well, Luo Yan is loyal to the country, and I naturally know."
Oh, I have invited Mr.
Huang Zicheng and Mr.
Qi Tai to discuss the matter of locking up the Zhou Domain, and the two of you should participate together. ” Luo Kedi was slightly disappointed when he saw that he didn't mention the support for the Jinyi Wei Yamen, but when he heard that Zhu Yunwen let him participate in the secret discussion and discuss the national policy with Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, the two ministers, this was obviously extremely trusting, and he suddenly had a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, Weichen obeys." ” After a while, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng rushed to the Jinshen Palace, Zhu Yunwen immediately showed them the confession of Zhu Youjiao, the second son of Zhou Wangyan, and the two were overjoyed when they saw it, Huang Zicheng arched his hand again and again: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, with this handle in hand, the court cut the Zhou domain, and he became famous." ” Qi Tai also smiled and said: "A cut of the Zhou Domain, not only can you cut off an arm of King Yan, but also take this opportunity to watch the movements of the kings, this is called throwing stones to ask for directions, from the reaction of the domains, the court can also calmly formulate the next step of the strategy of cutting the domain, to ensure that the imperial court policy is implemented freely." ” Zhu Yunwen was praised by the two confidant ministers, and said with great ambition: "Okay, I will issue an edict to solve the problem of King Zhou's entry into Beijing."
"The emperor is slow" Huang Zicheng hurriedly said: "The emperor has just relieved the kings of their military powers, and there are still many generals in the garrisons around the country who are subordinates of the kings for a long time. ” Zhu Yunwen said "ah" and said: "What Mr. reminds me is, what should I do?"
Huang Zicheng said confidently: "Surprise, catch him off guard" Qi Tai frowned, and said in his heart: "The dignified court, since you have taken the evidence of his crimes, not publicized his crimes, and ordered them to take it, what kind of surprise sneak attack will you make, isn't this a show of weakness, is this the act of the Emperor of Heaven?"
But Huang Zicheng is Zhu Yunwen's teacher, and the relationship is closer than him, seeing that the emperor looks humbly asking for advice, Qi Tai opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Zhu Yunwen listened to Huang Zicheng's words and said: "What Mr. said is reasonable, then so be it, I ordered Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, to lead his troops to the north, feign Kaifeng, and capture King Zhou in one fell swoop." ” Huang Zicheng because of the last Yang Xu case, although Yang Xu was just an introduction, he didn't pay attention to his little person, but because of this, he was annoyed by the Zhongshan Palace, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to give this great merit to the Xu family, he was very reluctant, he thought about it and said: "The minister thinks that it is better to send Wei Guogong than to send Cao Guogong." ” Zhu Yunwen was surprised: "Mr. is talking about Jiujiang, why is he suitable?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was there, Cao Guogong went to various places many times to train troops, patrolled, and sent Cao Guogong to go, not to mention arousing suspicion.
Moreover, Li Wenzhong, the father of Cao Guogong, the king of Qiyang, has many old departments, all of which are generals in Henan. ” Zhu Yunwen nodded again and again: "Okay, well, it's still Mr. thoughtful."
Come on, quickly announce that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong will see you" Li Wenzhong is the first fierce general under Zhu Yuanzhang, if it is said that he is handsome, Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun and others, they are all handsome talents trained by Zhu Yuanzhang after a long period of war, and Li Wenzhong is the first fierce general under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Wenzhong is also the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's cousin Princess Cao Guochang, so he is a relative of the emperor, and when the crown prince Zhu Biao is there, he often takes his son Zhu Yunwen to the Li family as a guest, so Zhu Yunwen has a very good relationship with this cousin.
When Li Jinglong heard that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately set up a palace to meet him, and asked him to lead his troops to cut down the feudal domain and capture the king of Zhou, and immediately agreed.
Zhu Yunwen said happily: "With Jiujiang going out to do this big thing, I can rest assured." ” He glanced at Xia Xun, who was at the end of the accompaniment, and said, "This time to find the evidence, Yang Xu contributed the most.
The two of you once went to the East China Sea to hunt bandits together, which is considered to be familiar, this time, you still let Yang Xu be your vanguard, you must fight bloodlessly, solve this matter smoothly, and don't let me down. ” Li Jinglong glanced at Xia Xun with a smile, bowed and said, "Minister, obey the order" Xia Xun sighed secretly: "This dog skin plaster, is it going to be pasted again?"
With Li Jinglong in charge, although it is a little selfishness of Huang Zicheng, but in a fair view, Li Jinglong is indeed more suitable than Xu Huizu to do this kind of thing, because in recent years, the imperial court has indeed sent Li Jinglong to Beijing on business more than Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, who just went to Shaanxi last year, and went to Suzhou and Hangzhou at the beginning of the year, and now let him tour the north so as not to arouse suspicion.
As for the fact that most of the generals in King Zhou's domain were led by Li Wenzhong, it was pure nonsense from Huang Zicheng.
There are generals led by Li Wenzhong everywhere, but they are not concentrated in Henan, and in the same way, there are many generals led by Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, in Henan, and this reason is really not a reason.
However, in terms of surname, Xu Huizu's surname is Fangzheng, Li Jinglong is sleek, and he is indeed more suitable than Xu Huizu, which can be regarded as Huang Zicheng's wisdom and talent.
Li Jinglong ordered 30,000 troops, under the guise of patrolling the border areas in the north, left Nanjing in a mighty way, crossed the Yellow River all the way to the north, and went straight to Kaifeng.
When he arrived in Kaifeng, Li Jinglong garrisoned outside the city and entered the city to meet the king of Zhou, who had no idea of his intention and set up a banquet to entertain him.
At this time, Xia Xun saw the kung fu of this so-called big straw bag honey belly sword, his goal was King Zhou, but he was calm in front of King Zhou, one sip of King Zhou, and when he drank to the heart, he changed the title of his relatives, and his mouth was full of five uncles, and King Zhou, who was not a mainstream botanist, was dizzy.
During the banquet, only the second prince Zhu Youjiao was aware of Li Jinglong's arrival, and when he saw Xia Xun who was accompanying Li Jinglong, his face turned pale and he was restless, and he quickly found an excuse to quit and avoid it.
Li Jinglong visited the king of Zhou, did his best, and at the same time succeeded in dispelling the vigilance of the king of Zhou, under the pretext of meeting several old subordinates of his father before his death, he politely refused the kindness of the king of Zhou to stay in the palace, and transferred to the yamen of the command envoy of the capital.
Li Jinglong took out the emperor's secret decree and read out the holy will, the generals of Henan Commander hurriedly accepted the decree and agreed, Li Jinglong was still not at ease, and personally sat in the command of the envoy and supervised the command of Henan to arrange several of his father's cronies and subordinates as the generals of the four gates of the city, that night, Li Jinglong rushed back to the military camp with the commander of Henan, and led the imperial army to surround the garrison of the three guards of the King of Zhou, and read out the holy decree.
There is both the emperor's will, and there is a large army surrounding, even Kaifeng commanded the envoys to stand in front of the Cao State tent to listen to the order, the three guards and horses of the king of Zhou knew that the situation was inviolable, so they had to obediently abandon their weapons and surrender, Li Jinglong's soldiers solved the three guards and horses of the king of Zhou without blood, and then led the army back to Kaifeng, entered from the south gate, and surrounded the palace of the king of Zhou, at this time, the first ray of morning light in the east just sprinkled to the earth.
When the imperial saber was unsheathed and the bow was wound, and the Zhou Wangfu was surrounded by water, the Zhou Wangfu still knew nothing about it.
The surroundings of the Zhou Wangfu were originally quiet, few people walked, and at this moment, seeing so many soldiers and horses, the common people avoided it early, and these well-trained soldiers were not noisy, and they didn't get any news at all in the high palace walls.
Li Jinglong rode on his horse and shouted: "Smash open the palace gate" The two soldiers rushed up, grabbed the huge knocker and smashed it tom, only a few times, and the two men who had just got up inside came to open the door in disheveled clothes, and as soon as they opened the door, the two men did not look at who it was, so they scolded: "Who the hell came to smash the door early in the morning, what kind of place can this be accommodated" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the black pressure outside the palace gate was full of soldiers, and the gun shaft was erected like a dense forest, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "Is this and this man-made antithetious?"
Li Jinglong waved his hand and said, "Take them down" Immediately snatched a few soldiers, and brought the two stunned men aside, Li Jinglong was about to carry the horse into the door, his heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Xia Xun, who was sitting silently on the black horse on the side, and said with a smile: "After all, King Zhou is the emperor's uncle today, and it is better to salute first and then soldier."
Yang Baihu, thank you, go in, read the holy decree to the king of Zhou, and order the king of Zhou to carry the golden seal of the imperial book, lead the family, kneel in the carrier hall to welcome the angels, and tie your hands, otherwise, only the soldiers will meet each other, and the jade will be burned at that time, don't blame the country for not being prepared."
"This dog skin plaster is not dead" Contrary to Li Jinglong's expectations, Xia Xun was neither timid nor annoyed, he just smiled faintly, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Obey orders" Tightening his belt and swinging his saber, Xia Xun walked towards the half-open door, and disappeared into the door steadily To be continued:
