Chapter 51 This is a traitor

Imperial Street was cleared early in the morning, and fallen leaves floated from the brick floor in the afternoon.The capital is covered with clouds, and it is hard to tell whether it is morning or afternoon just by looking at the sky.

Ministers walked towards Fengtianmen one after another.Huang Zicheng sorted out the table, straightened his black hat with both hands, got up and went out, and headed for Fengtianmen.

This afternoon, the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss the pacification of the rebellion. The most important thing was to decide the new commander in charge to replace Geng Bingwen who was killed in Zhending.

Huang Zicheng still cannot be sure who he will choose.

The emperor has been waiting for the opinions of the ministers these days. Huang Zicheng has always wanted to recommend Li Jinglong. The Minister of War Qi Tai opposed it and strongly recommended Guo Ying; Xu Huizu once again recommended Sheng Yong... Those who put forward the proposals have their own opinions and are difficult to tell.

Huang Zicheng was walking to the Imperial Street when suddenly a shout came from behind: Lord Huang, Lord Huang...

Huang Zicheng stopped and turned around.The person who came ran over quickly and spoke in Huang Zicheng's ear.

really?Huang Zicheng glared.

The visitor hurriedly took out a memorial from his arms and said: The report from General Zhending, I just arrived at the Tongzhengsi.

OK, I will go to meet the saint first.Huang Zicheng nodded.

When they arrived at the Imperial Gate, all the important ministers in the court arrived. After a while, when the emperor sat on the throne, everyone went to pay their respects.After the ceremony, everyone stood on the floor tiles in order.

Obviously, there will be a lot of disputes in the imperial court this time, but no one spoke for a while, as if they were preparing to do a big fight!The hall was quiet for a long time.

Huang Zicheng looked around calmly and finally stood up first, and said: I have something to report.

explain.A voice came from the upper position.

Huang Zicheng said: The Tongzheng Department had just received a report from the front, and the rebellious envoy Wang Fu was discussing peace with the Zhending Wuding Marquis Guo Ying.After Guo Ying refused in public, Wang Fu met Guo Ying privately again!There were secret reports from soldiers in the central army, and Wang Fu and Guo Ying talked about relatives...

Ah!Several people made noises in surprise.

The relationship between Guo Ying and King Yàn was so troublesome that many court officials didn’t know at all!

Huang Zicheng continued: Guo Ming, the second son of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, married Xu; the father of Xu was the uncle of King Zhongshan (postally named Xu Da).Princess Xu, the wife of King Yàn, is the daughter of King Zhongshan (Xu Da).King Yàn and Marquis of Wuding married the Xu family...

Xu Huizu said with anger: King Yàn is originally the son of Taizu, and it is not very common for him to be associated with the great men and nobles in the court?Then King Yàn is still my brother-in-law. Am I not loyal to the court?What this is all about? What can the messenger say when he sees Guo Ying, and just talks about how this relative got married, it will take a long time to explain it!

Huang Zicheng said to Xu Huizu, "Since relatives are unreliable, why should Guo Ying meet with the envoy Wang Fu in private?"The Changxing Hou was in danger, and the internal and external armies were in peace and stability, and they even discussed peace. What happened?

Alas... Suddenly, Qi Tai sighed.

Sure enough, the emperor spoke, but his voice remained the same, but his tone was anxious. He dispatched troops and generals to the north again, so he could no longer delay.

Guo Ying, recommended by Qi Tai, is out of the way, and the person recommended by Xu Huizu is even worse...

At this time, Huang Zicheng immediately bowed: I recommend Duke Cao Li Jinglong, Duke Cao is loyal and strongly advocates the reduction of the vassal states, and will never make peace with Yàn.Duke Cao was born into a family of great generals and nobles. He passed down the military strategy of Hu Zi and his reputation was very high.He was illegal in governing the King of Zhou, good at bravery and planning, and took the surprise weapons in one fell swoop. This is the talent of a great general!

The emperor's voice said: "Perform."

……

Outside Zhending City, King Yàn and his confidants were discussing matters in the Central Army's tent.

At this time, the strategist Jin Zhong walked out of the tent. After reporting, Jin Zhong walked in with great utmost care, and everyone looked at each other.

Although Jin Zhong was covered in dust, he smiled and calmly clasped his fists and said: Prince, the court is going to send a new coach, it is Li Jinglong.

Hahaha... King Yàn suddenly slapped his palm on his thigh, and raised his head and laughed.

King Yàn has always been polite. Except for pretending to be crazy, he would hardly lose his composure. Even if he smiled since the rebellion, he would have been smiling hard, and he had not been so happy for a long time.

Most of the generals were unknown, so they had to laugh for a while.

King Yàn smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, covering his stomach and said: Good nephew!Who is not good to send? Li Jinglong, hey, I guess this is a plan!

The generals hurriedly asked: The prince said, what strategy?

Yàn Wang smiled and said: I just want to use this trick to make me laugh to death!Then Jingnan doesn’t need Jing?

Hahaha... Everyone laughed out loud.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that the cheap father had a bit of humor.

Everyone burst into laughter for a while, and Wang Cai said: I know this Li Jinglong. Many soldiers in the Beijing camp also know him. The soldiers will not accept him at all. At that time, he will definitely be surrounded by stingy villains.

This person has no strategy, no ability to command troops, and no experience in leading troops to fight... but he is also stubborn and self-righteous, never listens to others, and is jealous and mean to others.If he had not been stubborn and self-aware, how could he have been happy to accept this great task?

After hearing this, the generals all bowed and said, "Li Jinglong is not the prince's opponent?"!

King Yàn was in a good mood and encouraged the generals. Li Jinglong was half of us, and he was together to deal with the treacherous ministers of the court.Everyone, please do our best. We have already made half of our killing of treacherous ministers and purging the king!

At this moment, Jin Zhong said: Master Daoyan asked the Xiaguan to bring a few words.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately felt that Jin Zhong was Yao Guangxiao's man.

Yàn King’s Way: No one is outsider, just say it.

Jin Zhongdao: Master Daoyan said that the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than 30 years, and the people are free from hunger and cold. Now the treacherous ministers are in power, and the court has only the military households to fight, and the people are avoiding it.There are limited military households in the world, and there are even limited military households that must be military farms and garrisoned in various places.King Yàn doesn’t have to worry about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. It is advisable to seize the opportunity of the commander of the Southern Army being incompetent, and to destroy and weaken the strength of the official army as the key...

Zhu Gaoxu kept listening, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that Yao Guangxiao was quite knowledgeable, not conservative, and was relatively advanced.

Although Yao Guangxiao has always been inclined to the prince and is not very harmonious with Zhu Gaoxu in private, when Zhu Gaoxu heard his insight, he had to appreciate and respect him.

Jin Zhong continued: In the past, Emperor Taizong of Song attacked Youyun in northern China, and was lured into the enemy deep into the Liao army, gathered and annihilated it. At this point, the Song army's military strength was greatly reduced and it was unable to recover.Li Jinglong is even worse than Emperor Taizong of Song. King Yàn can follow the laws of the Liao army and lead him to the land to find an opportunity to gather and annihilate it!

good!King Yàn quickly agreed and ordered the entire army to return to Peking tomorrow.

The generals bowed and said, "The last general will be ordered!"

Jin Zhong took two steps forward and said again: The prince is really a helper!Originally, it might not be Li Jinglong's turn after the death of Changxing Hou.Qi Tai, the Minister of War of the Central Committee of the Court, recommended Guo Ying. He knew that Huang Zicheng wanted to recommend Li Jinglong, and he opposed it very much.

Because Huang Zicheng was the emperor's teacher and was extremely favored, Qi Tai actually secretly reported that Huang Zicheng colluded with the harem and interfered in the emperor's private affairs, and wanted to alienate the emperor and Huang Zicheng, so as to stop Li Jinglong from becoming the commander.

Unexpectedly, someone secretly reported that Guo Ying and Yàn's army had a peace talk, and even privately saw the envoys visiting relatives.Qi Tai originally recommended Guo Ying, but the emperor was furious and suspected that Guo Ying and Qi Tai... So Huang Zicheng won again and Li Jinglong will take charge of the Northern Expedition!

ha!After hearing this, King Yàn turned his head, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a smile, although Gao Xu's idea did not win over Guo Ying, he had unexpected achievements!

Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that there would be such an operation!

The Nanjing court is very complicated, like a big cesspool. How did Zhu Gaoxu know the ins and outs of the complex relationship?

This is completely a matter of blind cats hitting dead rats.

He quickly said: The Zhending official army cannot defend it. Seeing that his father was worried, he only wanted to share his worries for his father, but there was no good way, so he had to come up with a bad idea and try it out for now. He didn't expect it to have such an effect.Congratulations to Father, this is not as good as God’s calculations, and God also helps Father!

King Yàn smiled and said: Gao Xu is my blessing, which brings me good luck and good fortune.

Everyone congratulated and agreed.

Zhu Gaoxu accidentally saw Yuan Gong next to him... A few days ago, Yuan Gong actually said that the person who came up with that plan was not as good as a three-year-old child!

Now Yuan Gong didn't say anything, his eyes dodging, fearing that others would notice him.

At this moment, Yuan Gong also cast a look and accidentally looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Yuan Gong's expression suddenly became extremely awkward, blue and white, very ugly.

If he didn't know the inside story, he would have thought that he had just eaten something dirty, so he would have such an expression!

Yuan Gong must be very unhappy... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized, did I offend him?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly exclaimed in his heart that he was wronged, and he came up with a plan that was not very clever and did nothing else. Is this going to offend people?

Then Yuan Gong is also a weird person. Why did he come up and comment on it? If he doesn't accept it, he will come up with a plan, but he won't be able to come up with a plan?

Yuan Gong was born as a prime minister. Like the monk Yao Guangxiao, he was either from the imperial examination and official career, but he was not sure what his relationship with Yao Guangxiao was.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that it would be a good thing to offend people less. He had to look at the situation first and then find a chance to eliminate the misunderstanding with him.

After everyone finished speaking in the tent, King Yàn said he would part. The generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general is waiting for goodbye!"

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the tent and went back first to prepare to convey King Yàn's military orders, and would take everyone out of the way tomorrow morning.

He returned to the tent and drank a cup of cold boiled water. After taking a breath, he calmed down and thought, and suddenly felt something was strange again... Before Li Jinglong left the capital, the news had reached Zhending. This is not surprising. The fourth uncle Xu Zengshou may be an insider!

But, even Yao Guangxiao, who is in private in Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, can know?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that the monk Yao Guangxiao's background was beyond imagination, and he was very skilled in spy information, and he was simply omnipresent!
