marquis of jingan

Shen Yi only knew a general idea about Yandu's affairs, but from this general idea, he deduced some results by himself.

In Xuzhou City, the banquet for Zhang Jian was ready, and the two senior brothers sat across the table. After Shen Yi poured a glass of wine for Zhang Jian, he said with a smile: "Hu Qi's side is probably passed on to The third child, but the fourth child is not convinced, so he wants to mutiny."

"The Qi army near Xuzhou suddenly decreased by half, and this is the reason."

After the two clinked glasses, Master Shen continued: "However, there are many doubts in this matter. For example, there are still many forbidden troops near Yandu, but they have not acted for a long time."

"Also, that Emperor Hu of the Northern Qi Dynasty is not a mediocre lord. Even if he gets old, he won't be able to control the situation. However, this time Yandu's succession of the throne has turned into such a mess."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "After thinking about this matter, I can't figure it out."

Zhang Jian ate a mouthful of food, looked up at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "If Ziheng doesn't think clearly, you might as well put it in Xuan's theory."

Shen Yi was a little curious, and asked, "What did Xuan say?"

"National Luck."

Zhang Fuzun smiled and said: "Perhaps in the dark, there really is a pair of invisible big hands who are manipulating the luck of the world. The barbarians have occupied the Central Plains for more than a year, and now their luck is over."

"So I fell out of my wits."

Shen Yi thoughtfully, looked up at the sky outside the window, then shook his head slightly: "I thought that the number of people is human, Zhu Li only entered the pass for a few generations, and most of them became the so-called nobles who can't get on the horse, only know how to eat, drink and enjoy themselves. There is absolutely no thought of being prepared for danger in times of peace."

"After entering Xuzhou, more than [-]% of the rich and powerful households in the city are real Zhu Li, and the remaining [-] to [-]% are also related to real Zhu Li."

Zhang Jian was silent for a while, then sighed slowly: "I heard that the Huai'an Army confiscated real Zhu Li's property and confiscated the food of the big households in the city."

"Although it's refreshing to do this, but if it is passed on, the Northern Expedition will probably be more difficult in the future."

"Punishment and confiscation of Zhu Lizhen's property, I was angry for a while, but after thinking about it, I didn't think there was any problem."

Master Shen smiled and said: "After all, our Northern Expedition this time is either to drive them out or to kill them. Even if they don't confiscate their property, they should work hard or fight with us."

Zhang Jian thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Master Shen took a sip of his wine.

"These Zhuli real people are no longer as powerful as they used to be, so there is no need to be afraid of them."

Shen Yi said softly: If you don't treat them harshly, how can you avenge the grudges of the past? "

"Emperor Sejong, as well as many ministers who traveled south, are still hanging coffins and have never been buried."

Hearing this, Zhang Jian stopped talking.

The ancestors of the Zhang family came from Nandu. Compared with the aborigines in the south of the Yangtze River like the Shen family, the hatred between the country and the family is deeper.

After the two talked for a while, Shen Yi began to talk about the progress of the Northern Expedition.

"If the fourth son in the Northern Qi Dynasty really conspired against him, then after he came to the throne, he would have to defend Yandu with heavy troops for a long time."

"We are unable to divide our troops to go south."

Master Shen said with a smile: "And before the end of the year, the imperial court's West Route Army will also take shape and go straight to Henan. If the Northern Qi wants to deal with it, it will inevitably divide its troops into two."

"Before the end of the year, the war will be optimistic."

After Zhang Jian thought about it.Asked: "Before the end of the year, will the Huai'an army still have a big battle?"

Shen Yi shook his head silently: "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and I can't explain it clearly now, but if the battle goes well, I can push it to the north, it's best..."

Master Shen said softly.

"It's best to get back Yanzhou Mansion."

Hearing the words "Yanzhou Mansion", Zhang Jian put down the wine glass in his hand, silently raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and said, "Ziheng wants to take Qufu?"

Qufu is the hometown of sages and the land of Confucianism. Although it is not a big place, it is very important politically.

For many years, the Southern and Northern Dynasties did not recognize each other as orthodox, but Nan Chen, who was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, somewhat lost some confidence. Part of the reason was that Qufu was now in the hands of the Northern Qi.

Northern Qi also worshiped saints and respected Confucianism.

If you can get it back, it means a lot.

Shen Yi picked up the wine glass, touched Zhang Jian, and said with a smile: "It's just a thought, for now, stability is the main thing."

After the two of them drank the wine in their cups, Shen Yi asked, "Apart from the magistrate, senior brother, are there any other officials in the imperial court? The subordinates of Xuzhou Prefecture, as well as many prefectures and counties, all need officials."

Zhang Jian smiled wryly and shook her head: "I came here after receiving the order, and I don't know anything else, but as far as I can see, I'm afraid I'm the only one."

"Brother, in the past few days, I will walk around Xuzhou more often."

Master Shen smiled and said: "Wait a while, the second brother will come, you and the second brother should communicate well, during your absence, the money, grain and people's livelihood in Xuzhou are all in charge of the second brother."

Shen Yi paused, and said, "And you did a good job."

"I am going to write to the imperial court to recommend him as Xuzhou Tongzhi, Senior Brother Sasuke."

"Jizhou?"

Zhang Jian was a little surprised.

"He is in charge of Xuzhou's money, grain and people's livelihood?"

As soon as Zhang Fuzun finished speaking, Zhao Jizhou's carefree voice came from outside: "The surname Zhang looks down on me, don't ask me anything in the future!"

Shen Yi got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, don't offend Second Brother. Now I have to ask for the food I eat from him."

Zhang Jian also stood up, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Qinhuai River is indeed a place to kill people, and Jizhou has shown his talents by following Ziheng."

The three brothers looked at each other and laughed heartily.

………………

Yandu City, Xiude Palace.

Zhao Kai, the fourth son of the emperor, who was dressed in purple, was already sitting on the throne of the Xiude Palace.

Lang Yan cupped his fists at him and said, "Your Highness, all the rebellious forces in the city have been wiped out, and everything inside and outside the palace has been brought under our control."

Speaking of this, he paused, and said in a deep voice: "Many generals of the Imperial Army want to come to see His Highness."

Hearing this news, Zhao Kai took several deep breaths, unable to conceal the excitement in his heart. After a long time, he regained his composure and said in a hoarse voice, "Have a banquet in the palace to entertain the generals of the imperial army."

Lang Yan lowered his head and said, "Yes."

After all, he turned to leave.

Zhou Yuanlang at the side, after hesitating for a while, said in a low voice: "Your Highness, at this moment, the imperial army has no other way to go. This subordinate thinks that the first thing to do is not to reward the imperial army, but to find out..."

"The truth about King Qi's regicide."

Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and said, "What else can we investigate? It is an indisputable fact that King Qi, together with Tong Jian and Ma Cheng, forced the palace to kill the king and tampered with the edict!"

"Yandu is up and down, who doesn't know?"

Zhou Yuanlang shook his head slightly, and said: "Your Highness, others are afraid of the might of soldiers and have to follow His Highness's wishes, but they can't help but think too much in their hearts. At this moment, they need to be honest."

Zhao Kai looked at Zhou Yuanlang, and after being silent for a while, he still asked, "Why did you teach me, sir?"

Zhou Yuanlang lowered his head and said, "My subordinates have found out that it wasn't just Tong and Ma who entered the palace to meet His Majesty, Prime Minister Yan Li also entered the palace."

"It's just that after entering the palace, I will report my illness."

"His Royal Highness can go to the Yan Mansion, please ask Prime Minister Yan to come out of the mountain."

He lowered his head and said, "As long as Prime Minister Yan comes out of the mountain, he can straighten people's hearts and set up a court plan."

Zhou Yuanlang knew what Zhao Kai was thinking, and after a pause, he added: "In this way, His Highness's ascension to the throne will be justified."

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up when he heard the words "ascension to the throne".Stand up: "Come on, let's go to Yan's house."

Zhou Yuanlang didn't move, and continued: "Your Highness, in addition to this, a notice must be issued that King Qi deceived the government and the people, and the whole court will not be held accountable except for the Tong and Ma families."

"In this way, Chao Gang is settled."

Up to now, Zhao Kai is still very satisfied with Zhou Yuanlang. Hearing this, he nodded, waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhou will go and draft the notice. After finishing writing, show me first."

Zhou Yuanlang quickly bowed his head: "This subordinate obeys orders."

Zhao Kai reluctantly stepped down from the throne, looked back at the chair, and said to Zhou Yuanlang with a smile: "Sir, accompany me to Yan's house?"

"Subordinates obey."

Half an hour later, Zhao Kai, with bloody hands, came to Yan's house.

Before the door was called, the door of the Yan family opened wide.

The old prime minister bowed his waist and walked out with strict ceremony. Without saying a word, he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Old minister Yan Li..."

"Kowtow to His Royal Highness the Prince."
