my days with tyrants

Chapter 291

Yang Feng then arrived in Daning.

Concubine Ning did not resist, but closed the gate of the palace, refusing to meet on the grounds that there were no adult men in the palace and it was inconvenient to receive outsiders.

Of course, Yang Feng was not interested in going to the palace to meet him.

He released Bu Wan and others who were imprisoned, and then used Bu Wan to preside over the Daning Dusi again.

However, in order to reassure the generals who followed Chen Heng, Yang Feng singled out those elites who participated in the Western Expedition to be ruled by a general who followed Chen Heng, so as to ensure that Bu Wan would not take personal revenge. After these, he and Yang Wen set off westward, with the goal of Kaiping.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was in Kaiping, and he had already completed the integration of the entire Xuanda, but it was more accurate to say that it was an armed parade. After all, under the current situation, most of the guards were only protecting themselves.Anyway, for this kind of royal family infighting, for the local guards, just wait honestly, whoever becomes the emperor is not the Zhu family.

Zhu Gaoxu took [-] cavalry out of Juyongguan and headed north, and then he would join the Daigu Second Families. At present, a total of [-] cavalry went north to Kaiping.

And Jin Fan [-] rode into Datong.

The guards from all over the country came forward one after another, and the guards of the five domains were transferred across the border without authorization, but most of the elite guards had not returned from the western expedition, and they were powerless to fight against them.

Can only shut ourselves in.

Of course, this was reported to the court.

In fact, the gates of all the cities are open, but it is just an appointment with Zhu Gaoxu not to enter the city. The latter passes by and is stationed outside the city. Merchants in the city are willing to sell military supplies to him. King Yan has money, and there are countless people who have been robbed by the Western Expedition. .

Not to mention the conquest of the Wa Kingdom and the garrison of Fusang these years, all of which are for money.

It is said that Fusang's gold and silver mining is supervised by him.

Zhu Gaoxu flaunted his power all the way like this, and the civilian officials who had supervised the military generals, because of their dissatisfaction with Zhu Yunxi, all worked together with the generals of the guard, allowing him to move freely in this area. After finally getting the news of Yang Feng's westward march, Zhu Gaoxu immediately led his troops to Kaiping.The governor of Kaiping, Tongzhi Shengxi, abandoned the army and fled, giving him Kaiping City, so Yang Feng's next step is to deal with Zhu Gaoxu first and then go south to Beiping.

As for the west side, don't worry about it.

As long as he chooses to support Zhu Yunxi, Princess Jin will solve this problem.

As for Yang Feng's subordinates, those who still led westward from Liaodong, and the news that he finally took action at this time has spread rapidly all over the place.

Beijing.

"This dead ghost finally remembered."

The little princess said with satisfaction.

Then she looked at her female history with murderous eyes.

"Princess, it's useless for you to blame me. He asked me to do it."

The latter said frankly.

Zhang Ying told about Yang Feng's stay in Huining in front of Zhang Xianzong and others, but the little princess didn't know about it beforehand, so this made her very passive. The emperor thought she was deliberately concealing it. Recently, it is obvious that she has no good face...

Of course, it could also be because of being angry with Sapphire.

Lan Yu had just played, and obviously accused the emperor of not listening to those civil servants in a tone of disrespect. The current situation was largely due to his lack of decisiveness.His uncles have raised their troops openly, instead of taking this opportunity to announce that they are all rebellious, and then solve the problem of the vassal king in one fell swoop, instead of listening to those civil servants talking about people's hearts?Is this how you learn from your grandfather?Your grandfather's greatest strength is his decisiveness. He has already reached this level. What do you care about uncle?It is the uncles who should kill them all as soon as possible. As long as you make a decree, it is clear that the kings rebelled and made trouble, and those who killed them will be named marquises, and Kaifeng will definitely be taken within half a month.

At that time, all the vassal kings will die unexpectedly from various possibilities that suit them.

Zhu Yunxi also understands that Lan Yu is responsible for him, but the problem is that this attitude of treating him as a junior makes him very annoyed.

He is no longer the grandson of the emperor.

He is now the emperor.

Even if you are the emperor's uncle, you have to understand that you are a minister.

So it's not entirely because of suspicion of his aunt.

He still trusts his aunt very much, after all he also knows that his aunt must listen to Yang Feng more, and he can't expect too much from this kind of Zhu family who is no longer counted, and the daughters of the Yi tribe who were married when they were married are not included!
Uh, his aunt doesn't seem to be married yet!

"Fox spirit!"

The little princess looked at Zhang Ying and said angrily.

"Princess, I heard that the one in the Western Regions is the most coquettish."

Zhang Ying diverted the hatred.

"Hmph, you are all vixens."

said the little princess.

"Get out of the way, urgent military affairs!"

Accompanied by anxious shouts, a group of cavalry galloped forward, and on a horse among the cavalry, a middle-aged Confucian scholar showed no expression.

The little princess' eyes widened instantly.

"Fang, Fang, Fang Xiaoru?"

she screamed.

Zhang Ying also recognized it, her eyes also widened.

The leader of the three traitors who is still on the wanted list, fled out of Beijing with the king of Guangze County, encouraged Qi Tai to rebel in Lishui, and then went to Suzhou to instigate the gentry's rebellion, Fang Daru, who suddenly appeared in this way Being in the capital, and still under the protection of the army, this can be described as weird.

Zhang Ying stepped forward without hesitation. She, riding Yang Feng's big white horse, immediately caught up with the cavalry and followed her. She walked along while asking questions, and soon turned around and returned...

"Fang Xiaoru suddenly left Suzhou and surrendered to Wu Shouan, saying that King Guangze in Qitai's place was a fake. The magistrate Yao Shan raised an army. But after the army, he wanted to send people back to welcome King Guangze back, but Qi Tai kept refusing. He suspected that Qi Tai wanted to wait until the city of Kaifeng was destroyed, and King Guangze died in the rebellion. The family nephew is the king of Guangze, who stole the affairs of the country. Fang Xiaoru and him have already broken each other. He wanted to kill Fang Xiaoru. Thanks to the help of Huang Yue and others in the city, he escaped from Suzhou and came to report to the emperor. He was willing to go to Suzhou to testify for the emperor the truth."

Zhang Ying said.

"Sure enough it's a lie, I just said that those of us who are in Kaifeng, how can Yun Yun still be in Kaifeng!

These dogs are quite courageous! "

The little princess sneered.

Although Zhu Yunwen was very careful in hiding in Kaifeng, he couldn't hide the pervasive intelligence network of the banking system. After the Guangze King of Lishui appeared before, the little princess immediately asked Kaifeng's bank to investigate whether he really left Kaifeng, but the latter The report to her was that it was probably still in Kaifeng.

The one in Lishui is fake.

Then the bank in Suzhou also reported that, judging from the performance of the King Guangze in Suzhou, it was probably a fake.

That's for sure now.

But it's useless to confirm this. Everyone knows that the Suzhou gentry supported him as a memorial tablet. It doesn't matter whether he is real or not. The important thing is that there is King Guangze in Suzhou.

"Go, enter the palace!"

said the little princess.

Immediately afterwards, she turned on her watch and asked Sister Liu to tell Yang Feng.

Because her watch cannot be charged, it can only be used as an emergency communication tool. After using it, it must be turned off quickly. Fortunately, the standby time of this thing is relatively long. With this occasional way of turning on, it has been half a year now The battery has not run out yet.

When they arrived at the palace, Fang Xiaoru had already been summoned urgently by the emperor.

The little princess is waiting outside.

Soon Zhang Xianzong came out from Qianqing Palace, looked at them solemnly, and then pointed to the west.

The little princess came to her senses immediately, and hurriedly took Zhang Ying out of the palace and turned to Xi'an Gate. Not long after they arrived at Xi'an Gate, Zhang Xianzong, who had changed his clothes, walked out of Xi'an Gate.The little princess and the others were in front, and Zhang Xianzong followed from a distance. They entered a shop of their own on the side of the road, and Zhang Xianzong quickly followed.

"Princess, can I contact Ambassador Yang?"

He said it directly.

"This one……"

The little princess pondered for a moment.

Zhang Xianzong pointed to her wristwatch simply, which meant that you should stop pretending.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

said the little princess.

"Contact Ambassador Yang quickly and tell him that Fang Xiaoru is urging His Majesty to enlist himself."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Prosecution?"

The two women screamed.

"Yes, Fang Xiaoru said that he is willing to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. Please His Majesty personally conquer Suzhou. In Suzhou, he publicly testified to the soldiers and civilians in Suzhou that King Guangze in it is a fake and exposed Qi Tai's conspiracy. Naturally, the soldiers and civilians of Suzhou will no longer resist. And Your Majesty You can take this opportunity to make the people in the south of the Yangtze River see the beauty of the sky, so that people's hearts will be naturally stable, and there will be no more people who will be rebellious. Your Majesty is quite moved, and has already summoned the Metropolitan Procuratorate and six ministers to the palace to discuss."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"So, you are worried that these people will support it, and once His Majesty personally conscripts, it is easy to cause trouble?
Are you even worried that Fang Xiaoru did it on purpose?

Also, are you worried that even if the ministers in the court know that Fang Xiaoru is a false surrender, out of dissatisfaction with His Majesty, they will pretend not to know and cooperate with him? "

The little princess woke up immediately.

Her mind is still working fine.

Zhang Xianzong nodded silently.

"So, you are convinced that these civil servants in the court are actually not loyal?"

Zhang Ying said.

"Ms. Zhang, I don't need to talk about this anymore. If all the ministers in the court support His Majesty's personal conquest, the trip will definitely happen based on His Majesty's disposition. From the capital to Suzhou, the Yangtze River waterway turns into the canal, and the waterway is hundreds of miles. If someone wants to harm His Majesty, there will be people along the way." Countless opportunities."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Everyone is a loyal minister on the lips, but in fact, all of them have their own ghosts."

The little princess said angrily.

Then she quickly opened the watch again.

Kaiping.

Ambassador Yang lined up again.

"They all know how to play!"

He looked at the city gate that was being opened, and listened to Sister Liu's recitation with emotion.

He was convinced almost immediately that Fang Xiaoru had surrendered falsely.

It was to lure the emperor out of the capital.

As for the ministers in the court, Zhang Xianzong should know better than him, and even if this is the case, this choice is not surprising, after all, most of them in the court are Confucian scholars.Although it is true that such as Ruyu did not take the imperial examinations, they were also born as Confucian scholars. What's more, Zhu Yunxi's reform obviously aimed to completely abandon the old method of selecting scholars.According to the plan, the old schools will be replaced by those new schools in the future, starting from the capital and spreading outwards, and more new schools will be established in Daming to train talents, and then let these talents enter the officialdom through the new imperial examination.

Step by step, use fresh blood to wash away all the stale old bureaucrats.

These are old bureaucrats.

And the foundation behind these old bureaucrats is also the old gentry.

The old gentry were of course Confucian gentry.

If Confucianism is still used to govern the country, they can always surpass those ordinary people by virtue of the cultural advantages of the so-called farming and reading heirlooms.

Their family's collection of books alone is enough to crush ordinary people.

In the late Ming Dynasty, most of the families of imperial examinations in the south of the Yangtze River were also families of book collectors.

In the end, the imperial examinations will be familyized.

Hereditary culture.

On average in my Qing Dynasty, more than 60.00% of the Jinshi in the imperial examination had Juren and Jinshi within the third generation, 20.00% had scholars within the third generation, and the remaining ten percent were those without merit within the third generation. If the real ancestors have no fame, only [-]% are left.But if new learning and new imperial examinations are introduced, then all of these will be on the same starting line, and the Confucianism passed down in their families is useless. Even if your ancestors are great Confucianists, you have to learn new learning with a peer from a pure peasant family .

Let's fight for the future according to our ability.

It was certainly unbearable.

Zhu Yuanzhang can do this, they are indeed afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yunxi can't.

Because there is no pile of human heads under his grandfather's feet.

"If Zhu Yunxi died suddenly, then Zhu Yunqi can indeed be promoted to the throne.

But have they thought about Zhu Di? "

Sister Liu said with great interest.

It has to be said that the battle for the throne of Ming Dynasty after being completely disrupted by Yang Feng has already made her more and more involved as a spectator.

"Zhu Di?"

Yang Feng smiled.

"Do you think that Zhu Di is really clean? Liu Rong and Ma He didn't do anything for their King Yan? Do you think that Zhu Di's magical operation of defending Kaifeng is only because of the death of King Xiang?" Accident?

He is the one who hides the deepest. "

He continued.

Only then did he realize that he was probably being tricked by Zhu Di.

From the very beginning, it was likely that Zhu Di led the scenes behind the scenes. He was waiting for the death of one of Zhu Yunxie's brothers. If Zhu Yunxie was killed by Zhu Yunxie, then he was asking for rebellion.And the reason why he went to Kaifeng to gather a group of vassals to stand firm, his real purpose was to wait at the closest distance, waiting for the result he expected. Although this move was very risky, he had the confidence.

After all, he has always been invincible.

Sapphire only.

A person who has been idle for many years and does not understand new warfare at all, how can he defeat him?

"So this is going back to the old way of history?"

Sister Liu said.

"That depends on whether I promise or not."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, the army in Kaiping city continued to pour out, and the leader was suddenly the big fat boy Zhu Gaoxu, but at this time he had become a standard classical warrior, with big arms and round waist, riding on a bloody horse.Behind them are the elite cavalry in the formation, all of them shining in full armor, riding Arabian horses or Central Asian horses. It is obvious that Zhu Di has not stopped sending good things to the sons of Peiping during this period.

"I have to teach this guy a lesson again. Every time I see him, I want to push him to the ground and beat him violently."

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
