Chapter 653 Confused (4 more)
Of course, Cen Ling has also considered the question of high pragmatism, but he has only one possibility after thinking about it, that is, Mo Chao hopes that Guangxi will be in chaos for a while, and if there is anything to do, wait for them to find a replacement for Mo Jingdian Let's talk about the candidates for the commander.

Cen Ling told Gao Yushi his judgment or guesswork, and after Gao Yushi listened, he was still a little skeptical.But he didn't know enough about the history of Vietnam, so it was difficult to judge for a while.

Gao Wushi's current understanding of Annan mainly comes from what Zhang Ren and Huang Zhiting told him.

According to Zhang Ren and Huang Zhiting's introduction, when Mo Dengyong asked Daming Na to surrender, Daming issued an edict to surrender Annan as the commander of the Annan capital, and after Mo Dengyong was appointed as the commander of the Annan capital, Annan became a great Ming in terms of jurisprudence. In terms of territory, the Mo dynasty has also become the only legal regime recognized by Ming Dynasty - this is no joke. At this time, whether North Korea, Annan and others are recognized by Ming Dynasty is the difference between legality and illegality.

However, Ming Dynasty's recognition of the Mo Dynasty directly led to the intensification of ZTE's Li Dynasty's anti-Moscow movement, and anti-Moscow incidents in various places were surging.The revived Houli Zhuangzong dispatched Ruan Gan, Zheng Jian, Zheng Gongneng, Lai Shirong and others to capture the western capital of Qinghua, occupied a large area of ​​land in the south, and rebuilt the Houli Dynasty in the western capital (however, Ming did not recognize it).The survivors of the Hou Li Dynasty went to defect one after another, and the local officials of the Mo Dynasty who supported the Hou Li Dynasty also fell to the Hou Li Dynasty.

At this time, there was internal strife in the Mo Dynasty, so after Mo Dengyong died of illness (1541), Mo Fuhai took power alone.Soon after, Mo Fuhai also died of illness, and his son Mo Fuyuan succeeded him.

However, Fan Ziyi, Marquis of Siyang, did not recognize Mo Fuyuan's status, and made Mo Dengyong's son Hongwang Mo Zhengzhong emperor in Huayang, Yutianfu, which caused the Mo clan to fight for power and lost the foundation of the Li Dynasty. opportunity to attack.

The civil strife in the Mo Dynasty caused the country to decline day by day, making it impossible to eliminate the Houli Dynasty, and Annan thus entered the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In the Li Dynasty, Ruan Gan, the representative of the anti-Mo Dynasty forces, was poisoned by his subordinates (1543), and the real power was in the hands of Zheng Jian. Zheng Jian fought against the Mo Dynasty and took the initiative to attack many times. Generals Li Boli and Wu Wenmi turned against Mo Dynasty and their strength increased greatly.

Afterwards, Zheng Jian's army attacked the capital of the Mo Dynasty, Tokyo (that is, Shenglong), and the emperor Mo Fuyuan fled to Jincheng.Since then, the Mo Dynasty and the Hou Li Dynasty fought many times, winning and losing each other.

However, generally speaking, the reason why Mo Chao was able to maintain such a situation was neither the support of the people nor the strength of the country, but Mo Jingdian's personal leadership ability.

But now, Mo Jingdian died of illness.

So according to what Gao Pragmatically knows, Mo Chao should of course be very nervous.

It's just... Could it be that Mo Chao was so nervous that he came to kill the governor of Guangxi because he was worried about Da Ming's interference, but the purpose was just to make Guangxi mess up?
No matter how you think about it, Gao Yushi feels that this reason is too insufficient!
Although Zhang Ren is the governor of Guangxi, he is a low-ranking official. Even if he is really poisoned, the court only needs to issue a paper order and send a new Guangxi governor to take over. Wouldn't the death be a mess?
To put it bluntly, when Wang Yangming was in Guangdong and Guangxi, he was not so important, let alone Zhang Ren!
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic is a little unbelievable about this matter. In the words of later generations, the motive for committing the crime is not clear.

At this moment, he even doubted whether Cen Ling was deliberately inducing his thoughts, because in terms of motivation, it was not An Nan Mo Chao who was most likely to poison Zhang Ren, but the chieftains in Guangxi.

In the evening meeting with Zhang Ren, Gao Wushi once learned from Zhang Ren that he only met with unfamiliar people three times.

One is a group of Confucianism teachers, which is directly ruled out without even explaining.

The second is the Annan Mission, which was also ruled out by Gao Yushi at the time, because the other party had no motive, but today Cen Ling testified that it was them who did it.

The third was Gao Yushi's most suspicious object at that time, that is, the time when Liu Yaohui summoned a group of chieftains or chieftain representatives to meet Zhang Ren.

The only trouble in the investigation of this meeting was that there were too many people present. Almost all the chieftains, big and small, came. There were ten or twenty people surnamed Cen and Huang alone, which made it very pragmatic. Don't know where to start looking.

Although Huang Zhiting has been in charge of the government affairs of the Siming government for several years, according to Gao Yushi's recent observations, she is obviously afraid of the Ming court, saying that she sent people to poison Zhang Ren... seems a little unreasonable.

So, what about Cen Ling?Is it possible that he was calling "Stop a thief?"

Gao Wushi feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out, at least until the internal incident in Sicheng Prefecture is confirmed to be true, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Even from the point of view of Gao Yushi, who likes to play conspiracies, even if the civil strife in Sicheng Prefecture is true, there is no guarantee that Cen Ling did not poison Zhang Ren. Considering the worst case scenario, who knows if Cen Ling played a trick? In a series of tricks, first poison Zhang Ren to kill the governor who advocated reforming the Bazhai area, and then use the real civil unrest in Sicheng Prefecture to disturb his sight, and then rule out his suspicion of poisoning Zhang Ren ?
Although Gao Wushi also doubted whether Cen Ling had such madness and cunning, but at least there was such a possibility, then he couldn't easily believe Cen Ling's words.

Guo Pu's comments on Gao's pragmatism in the past may now be a prophecy, and Gao is really "calculating too much".

However, with his highly pragmatic acting skills, Cen Ling would naturally not realize that he was under suspicion, so after thinking for a while, he still looked confused, frowned deeply, and asked, "Mo Chao, the current commander-in-chief— — Forget it, let’s talk about Lord Annan, what’s his name, do you know anything about this person? I mean, do you think it’s possible for him to do such a mindless thing?”

The theory of Mo Chao's poisoning was originally proposed by Cen Ling. Of course he would not slap himself in the face. Gao Wushi's question was obviously to give Cen Ling a ladder. Cen Ling naturally climbed up the ladder decisively: "Your official I thought it was possible for Mo Maoqia to do this."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Gao Wushi asked noncommittally.

Cen Ling immediately said: "This Mo Maoqia is the son of Mo Fuyuan, who was born in February 42, Jiajing. On the seventh day of the second month of the following year, Mo Fuyuan died of pox, and Mo Maoqia succeeded him. He was only two years old at the time. Years old. Since Mo Maoqia came to the throne at an early age, Qian Wang Mo Jingdian presided over the military affairs, and Ying Wang Mo Dun let him preside over the internal affairs. Other important ministers in Annan, such as the son-in-law Anjun Gong Mo Yunian, Shijun Gong Ruan Jing, etc. Promoted to the position of assistant minister, in charge of military power, and try my best to assist...

To put it simply, this person has never personally handled any government affairs since he took the throne, but now that Mo Jingdian, the pillar of the Mo dynasty, has fallen, and Mo Maoqia, a young king, no matter what irrational actions he makes The action, Xiaguan thought it was not a surprise. "

This... seems to have some truth.

Gao Yushi was also a little shaken. If Mo Maoqia, the "emperor" of the Mo dynasty, was a young emperor with no experience in governing, then the possibility of his brain convulsions cannot be completely ruled out.After all, although Mo Jingdian is the jade pillar of Mo Chao, maybe in Mo Maoqia's view, this is also a mountain pressing on his head.

In his heart, Mo Jingdian might be able to compete with Huo Guang. In this case, after Mo Jingdian's death, it is possible for him to advocate some things to establish his authority under the excitement.

Gao Wushi was a little annoyed, why Zhang Ren's poisoning seemed to be getting more and more confusing.
