Chapter 294 How does King Yan "Brother Wang, I don't know something......
King Qi is down, what's in it for you?
”Yin Shaoting looked at Wang Ge and said, he was also asking euphemistically who Wang Ge was working for.Although Wang Ge had some hints before, and he also had some guesses, there was still no definite answer.Wang Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Old Yin, who do you think is the most qualified to inherit the throne among the sons of the first emperor?"
”Yin Shaoting was stunned, the most qualified person to inherit the throne is, of course, the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, and he has also ascended the throne to succeed to the throne.If you take it literally, among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, the most qualified is naturally the crown prince Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao is dead.Yin Shaoting said slowly: "The first emperor has a total of twenty-six sons, of which five sons-in-law, Prince Yiwen, King Qin, and King Jin have all died of illness, and only King Yan and King Zhou are left.King Yan's military exploits are the most among all kings, wise and martial, and his talents are slightly better, and King Zhou is much inferior.Could it be that Brother Wang is the ...... of King Yan" Wang Ge did not give a clear answer, but asked rhetorically: "What does Lao Yin think of King Yan?"
”The friendship between him and Yin Shaoting is actually not particularly close, and it may not even be as close as Zhang Jue.However, since Yin Shaoting brought his childhood sweetheart's little sister to Qingzhou from Fujian, after Wang Ge asked Nanxiang to cure the poison in his place, it basically means that Yin Shaoting has staked his future and fate on Wang Ge.Yin Shaoting is a smart person, once as a confidant of Jinyi Wei Qianhu and the commander Jiang Xuan, he naturally sees many things much more clearly than those Jianghu people.It is not easy to be enthusiastic, ignorant and fearless, nor will it be afraid of some rebellious topics.Like Zhang Jue, Nanxiang or Bai Long, Wang Ge is naturally very trusting, but there is no need to tell them about King Yan.Because no matter what his identity is, whether it is the King of Yan or any other vassal king or mountain king behind him, they will support him the same.But Yin Shaoting's identity is different, he is a person in Jinyiwei, and he was once a senior officer of Jinyiwei, he has been exposed to many secret things, and his vision and experience are different.In the future, with the help of Wang Ge, it is conceivable that he will be able to reach a high position.Many things require him to take the initiative to inquire or make decisions, and he needs his subjective initiative.Let him know that the "camp" to which Wang Ge belongs and the object of "contribution" is very necessary.And Wang Ge's rhetorical question, for Yin Shaoting, is basically equivalent to a definite answer.Wang Ge asked, "How is King Yan", naturally not to say how King Yan is, after all, Yin Shaoting has already answered before, King Yan is wise and martial, has good talents, and is the first in military achievements.This question is actually asked about King Yan's desire to seize the throne, what does he think.Yin Shaoting didn't deliberately say something nice, but after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head with a somewhat solemn expression: "In my opinion, if there are no major changes in the capital, King Yan will hardly have any chance." ”Yin Shaoting was sincere in what he said, but Wang Ge did not refute him.Indeed, including King Yan, King Ning, and King Jin who had died of illness, the nine kings of Yisai often led troops to go out on expeditions, and they were present in the nine northern expeditions, with fierce military achievements and great influence in the army.Each of them also has a large number of elite guards, all of whom are fierce warriors who can take one as the third, and their combat power is extremely strong.However, due to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, in case of war, the military department transferred the army at the behest of the emperor, appointed a leading officer, sent a letter to Yin, and led the army transferred from the guard to go on the expedition.At the end of the war, the leading officers were handed over to the court, and the officers and soldiers returned to the guards.This system of separating the power to unify the army from the power to transfer the army, and the system of not having a special army and not a private general, ensured the emperor's control over the armies in various places, and also avoided the division of local warlords to a certain extent.No matter how high King Yan is, no matter how many generals he has, even if the elite guards can fight again, there are only a few thousand guards who can really be loyal to him and can command.Even when it really comes to rebellion, these thousands of guards may not be able to share his mind.At that time, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the whole country's troops, and in the face of the army of King Qin in various places, even if King Yan can win one or two battles, he will only be annihilated in the end, and it is almost impossible to succeed.At least in Yin Shaoting's opinion, there is little hope."
Now is the time.If the new emperor wants to cut the domain, we will help him cut the domain, as long as it doesn't cut to the Yan domain for the time being, it can be delayed for as long as possible.If the matter of cutting the feudal domain cannot be quickly resolved with a quick knife and thunderous means, there will be variables over time. ”Wang Ge didn't analyze it in detail with Yin Shaoting, and now let him know what will happen in the future, which may not be beneficial, but just explained: "If the imperial court has any action against King Yan in the future, you can find a way to inform me."
Don't worry, I'm not going to let you do anything to die. ”A few days later, Yin Shaoting left Qingzhou, and with him, there were three people, including Zheng Shiheng, who were willing to become witnesses to expose Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, who violated the law and discipline, disregarded human life, plotted misdeeds, and colluded with thieves.In fact, it doesn't take Wang Gefei too much to persuade these people, because it was Zhu Xianyang, the son of the king of Qi, who came forward to persuade them.After learning that Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, colluded with the people in the Demon Sect and wanted to rebel, Zheng Shiheng and the others were naturally almost frightened.King Qi is in Qingzhou, and unlike King Yan and King Jin, who often lead troops to fight, his guards are elite and good at fighting, and they are also influential in the army.This place is so close to Jingshi, once something happens, it is really a blink of an eye to be exterminated.King Qi wants to fight for the position of the Ninety-Five, but they don't want to bet all their lives on the line.What's more, King Qi's own son doesn't want to go crazy with him, and if he wants to report him, they don't have to worry about King Qi being arrested, and his family will be retaliated against by King Qi's mansion, after all, it will be the prince who will be in power at that time.In fact, Zheng Shiheng and others have always had speculations and understandings about the cooperation and connection between King Qi and the remnants of the Demon Sect, and he has always felt that Lai Jiahe, the master of the palace worship, seems to be a member of the Demon Sect.It's just that he didn't expect that King Qi hooked up with the people of the Demon Sect for the purpose of rebellion.Not long after leaving Qingzhou, and before he even arrived in Beijing, Yin Shaoting heard the news that King Zhou's family was escorted back to Beijing by Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, with troops.Judging from some of the news that came out, King Zhou seems to have been denounced by his son Zhu Youjiao, saying that he was plotting against him and wanted to rebel.Judging from the time, when Wang Ge sent people to Jinan to find Yin Shaoting, the imperial court should have just made up its mind to send Li Jinglong to Kaifeng to capture the king of Zhou.I have to say that Wang Ge's judgment is indeed very accurate.The new emperor was indeed very firm in the matter of cutting the feudal domain.Yin Shaoting still had some doubts about the report of King Qi this time, but after hearing about King Zhou, he immediately knew that after he went to Beijing, the Qi clan would fall.Although he still didn't quite understand, what good would it do to Wang Ge and King Yan if the Qi clan fell.After all, after the other vassal kings have been cut, sooner or later it will be the turn of King Yan.
