Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 712: It's Better to Fall to Ming Than Fall to Li

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this. Shall we contact the governor of Guangxi and the inspector to explain the matter clearly?"

Of course, an explanation must be explained, but is it too late to explain now?
"Your Majesty, since Lang Son is lost, there is no danger to defend the North Road. The [-] soldiers will be able to attack Thang Long City in less than three days. Right now, there are only [-] old and weak soldiers in Thang Long City. ?”

Is the Ming army mechanized infantry? Even if Lang Son is lost, there are still three hundred miles to go, and they will be killed in three days?

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must quickly recall King Ying and Ruan Juan to Shenglong. As long as Shenglong guards, we still have a chance to turn around..."

Ok?Great idea!Then is my head given to Zheng Song, or to Gao Yushi?It's really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, I think that since Gao Ping has lost, it doesn't matter whether Xuan Guang defends or not. It's better to quickly transfer Mo Yulin back to Shenglong..."

"Nonsense, what's the use of Mo Yulin's transfer back to Shenglong? It's better to be transferred to Taiyuan. At that time, Mo Yulin's troops can not only block the Ming army going south from Gaoping, but also threaten the Ming army coming from Lang Son from the side. That's it. As long as the two Ming armies still want to take Shenglong City, they must first take Taiyuan, so that Shenglong can get a respite..." [Wufeng Note: This Taiyuan is Annan's Taiyuan, in Shenglong The north of the city is about one hundred and twenty or thirty miles. ]
Mo Maoqia found that only this suggestion seemed to have some brains, and hurriedly said: "Dunhou Wang, can Mo Yulin's department take on such an important task?"

King Dunhou, named Mo Jinggong, is the eldest son of Mo Jingdian, king of Qian. [Note: Don’t ask me why both father and son are called “Mo Jing X”, I don’t know, by the way, Mo Jinggong’s nephew is also called Mo Jingkuan...]
Dunhou Wang Mo Jinggong can be regarded as Mo Maoqia's "Uncle Emperor", but they are about the same age, both in their thirties and under forties.During the years when Mo Jingdian held the power, Mo Jinggong and Mo Maoqia, the two uncles and nephews, actually had a good relationship in private.

Facing Mo Maoqia's question, Mo Jinggong didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "After all, Mo Yulin is the son of Duke Xijun, and he is loyal to the Mo clan and His Majesty."

Mo Maoqia was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

There is an old incident involved here, the "Xijun Gong" that Mo Jinggong mentioned is named Ruan Jing, and he is the father-in-law of Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian.In the 25th year of Jiajing, the commander-in-chief of Annan Metropolitan Mo Fuhai died, and the general Fan Ziyi sought to establish his clan Mo Zhengzhong as emperor, but was defeated by Qian Wang Mo Jingdian and Xijun Duke Ruan Jing. , together with Mo Jingdian and Ruan Jing to destroy them.

[Wufeng Note: Neither Chinese nor Vietnamese history books explain why Ruan Jing’s eldest son was named Mo Yulin, and there are different translations of the name Mo Yulin, also known as Mo Yu (add a chariot next to the king), because the historical records are incomplete, In this book, let's assume that because of Ruan Jing's meritorious service, the eldest son was given the country's surname. ]
In other words, Mo Yulin is actually Mo Jinggong's uncle.

Mo Maoqia thought for a while, and said: "Mo Yulin is the former subordinate of King Qian, and his loyalty goes without saying, but I'm afraid he doesn't know that the current situation has come to this point, and the history of our Mo family is in danger... I would like to invite King Dunhou Go to Xuanguang, explain the situation to Mo Yulin, and serve as the supervisor of the army, I wonder if King Dunhou would like to go?"

"This is the autumn of life and death." Mo Jinggong knelt down and bowed his head: "Since I am a relative of the Mo family, I am naturally willing to go."

"Okay! Then there will be King Lao Dunhou." Mo Maoqia said loudly: "Come here, give me a festival talisman!"

The festival talisman is naturally prepared at ordinary times, needless to say, now that the situation is urgent, we should keep it simple, and after giving the festival talisman to Mo Jinggong, Mo Maoqia said again: "After King Dunhou and Mo Yulin led the troops to Taiyuan, Don't be in a hurry to fight the Ming army, wait for me to negotiate with Guangxi before making any plans."

Mo Jinggong knows what Mo Maoqia means, and everyone knows the situation now. If something goes wrong, Jiang Ming may not necessarily die, but Jiang Zheng has no way out—at least Jiang Zheng whose surname is Mo is sure to die , so don't fight the Ming army to death, so as not to cut off the last chance.

After Mo Jinggong took the order to go, Mo Maoqia asked again: "The current situation is known to all the ministers. Li Ni, the Zheng family and our court are not in the same court, so there is absolutely no need to negotiate, but Daming may not. .”

He paused, then sighed: "I didn't send any assassins to assassinate the Guangxi inspector Gao Gong. There must be something hidden about this matter. The Ming side must have made a mistake, or I was framed... In short, this The reasons behind it must be clearly explained to Daming, and must be explained clearly to Duke Gao! But going to Daming now may be dangerous, I don’t know who will go there?”

It is very necessary to explain the situation to Daming, but if the person who sent the envoy is himself... it is not so good.All the ministers and workers looked at each other immediately, and they seemed to be so worried about the future of the Dai Viet Empire that they didn't hear the emperor's words.

An old man sighed, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go."

Mo Maoqia could hear this person's voice, this is Ruan Binglian, the most famous Confucian in the history of the Mo dynasty, the number one scholar in the reign of Mo Dazheng. I live in Thang Long, so I am often invited to the palace to prepare consultants.

"Old Ruan is willing to go, this will be done!" Mo Maoqia was overjoyed, and said: "I heard that the Guangxi inspector censor Gao Gong was the number one scholar of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called world literary chief. I only have to go to Ruan Lao, so that I can not lose my temper, so I have to ask Ruan Lao to go."

Ruan Binglian said: "The six champions of the Ming Dynasty are not comparable to the veterans. The veterans are not here to discuss learning with Gao Xun, but to explain the situation so that the two sides do not fight each other, but it is easier for the cheaters."

"May I ask Mr. Ruan, how to persuade Gao Gong?" Mo Maoqia asked.

Ruan Binglian shook his head and said, "At the moment, I don't know what Gao Xunyan's attitude is, and how to persuade him is still out of the question, but I have to explain first...see how Gao Xunyan responds, and then make a conclusion."

Mo Maoqia thought for a while, and asked all the ministers to retreat first, and then said to Ruan Binglian alone: ​​"Old Ruan, I am worried that even if I explain the situation, Gao Yushi will not retreat."

Ruan Binglian seemed to have been prepared for this kind of mentality, and he was not surprised when he heard this, but said: "It depends on what he wants."

Mo Maoqia said with a wry smile: "It's not that I want to say something frustrating, I feel that Da Ming has never given up on me, Da Yue. This time... I don't know if they have colluded with Li Ni. In short, the current situation, I think it is It's hard to get over it. If Daming refuses to retreat, what does Old Ruan think I should do?"

Ruan Binglian sighed and said: "As a subject, the old minister dare not talk about this matter."

"This is the end of the matter, Mr. Ruan doesn't have to worry about it, just say what you have to say, I can bear it."

Ruan Binglian sighed again, and said, "If it's true, Jiang Ming is better than Jiang Li."
