Jingming

Chapter 245 Call to Arms, Sacrifice the Flag.

【July Bingxu, 19th year of Zhengde, the ninth grandson of Taizu, Zaicheng, the heir of the first emperor, King Jianjun, the sixth grandson, Tang Peiyu, general of Dingguo, Pu Zitong, general of Zhaowu, Fu Rongzhong, senior official, etc., reported to the kings and civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty. 】

[Xi said: In the past, my Taizu emperor started the Great Ming Dynasty, and nine of them were dying.Taizong succeeded, and the seven emperors worked hard, so the culture is gentle and unique in the universe.During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, he was magnanimous and merciful, and the people's morality was long-standing; the first emperor stood high on the land and broke through the universe.The power of the Ming Dynasty spreads all over the world, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the foundation of sincerity forever. 】

[First, there were rebels Yang Tinghe and others who planned to harm the late emperor, but died in a young age; then another false emperor was set up, who stole the legal system, put on the legacy of the late emperor, and disobeyed propriety and neglected righteousness. 】

[Emperor Ming's ancestors taught above, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother ends up with the younger brother.The false emperor succeeds to the throne from his younger brother, abandons Xiaozong and respects Xingxian King, and heir to the prince in the wilderness, unfilial and unkind! 】

[Disregarding the ancestral system, one married twelve in the general election, and the daughter of the court minister was the disaster of the descendant's relatives, licentious and immoral! 】

[Since he succeeded to the throne, disasters have continued, people have suffered misfortune, and the celestial phenomena have frequently warned him. He still uses the name of a rich country to search for the wealth of the people in the world to fulfill his own desires, greedy and arrogant! 】

[Take the flatterers as loyalty, and the loyal and upright ministers as rebels, kill the admonishing ministers and cut off the way of speaking, stupid and cruel! 】

[Suddenly, the false emperor and treacherous ministers were on the verge of arrogance, sucking the people's fat with arrogance.Government orders change day by day, official names change every month, and systems change every year.The officials and the people are confused and don't know what to do; the merchants are poor and embarrassed, and they cry in the market. 】

【Heaven is the father, and the earth is the mother. In response to misfortunes and blessings, each responds with events.Today, if you are rebellious and humiliate the most holy, you will lose thousands of miles; if you believe in traitors and sycophants and punish loyalty, the hearts of the people will be disintegrated.Disregarding taboos, destabilizing orthodoxies, arrogance to heresy, and nine temples shaking.The world is angry and poisonous, and it is cloudy and thunderous. 】

[Zu Dezong's meritorious service, the light is covered all over the world.Being disrespected by the family, rebellious children being hijacked by traitors without knowing it, the foundation of the ancestors has been completely ruined!But I am a descendant of Emperor Mingzong, Yi Ye Jiuchang.Today, the emperor’s heir, Zaihou, proclaimed to the world that he would fight against the thieves in the sky, and it would be done by the heroes and achieved by the will of the people.Therefore, the hero fights with arms, toes and heels meet each other; we make up households and Qimin, and run around calling for signs. 】

【Brother Uncle Wei Er, it is advisable to stick to your determination, tie your strength, advance in battle and retreat, and fight with the warriors.Weier's disobedient scholar husband, forced to be a soldier, should have repentance, should quickly move to the good, not against the king's teacher, not to be a spy. 】

[After being the first emperor alone, he should be orthodox. How can all the kings and relatives be ordered to enter the capital together, waiting to be slaughtered, causing chaos in the world?Now that we are commanding the Quartet, since we should judge the righteousness, it is advisable to lead your children to fight against the false emperors, to support the orthodoxy, to prosper and perish, to enshrine all nations, to abide by the old system of the Taizu, and to cultivate the virtues of benevolence and filial piety. 】

[All the kings, nobles, gentry, officers and soldiers, and common people of the world, hereby make an agreement: From the prefectures and counties below, each of them will kill the rebels, and it is easy to rule with orthodoxy and protect the environment; each prefecture and county will promote the king Teachers, meet their enemies, and clear the provincial capital.On the day of entering the capital alone to succeed to the throne and overcoming the orthodoxy, there will be rewards and amnesty for the world! 】

Sun Jiao is an old man, now he spreads out the letter Geng Yongfeng sent from Yuezhou Mansion, frowning.

If Zhu Houcong saw his appearance, it would be a living subway old man looking at his cell phone emoji.

"No shit!"

Sun Jiao was so angry that he slapped it on the table, and then turned to look at Gu Shilong: "The problems of Changsha Wei, Hengzhou Wei, and Changde Wei are not small, so I said to wait for the order first! You send Geng Yongfeng to Yue The state government has seized Xiang Falong, and the news has spread so far, is it possible to quickly calm down the chaos now?"

Why hasn't anything been done to the military guards?It's not because you need soldiers if you really want to mess up.

Sun Jiao was busy with the new issue of the death of King Liao. Gu Shilong said that he wanted to solve the problem of paying the Yuezhou guards so that there would be no future troubles. Sun Jiao believed that he was sure that he had been in Huguang for a long time.

After asking a question to vent his uneasiness, Sun Jiao sighed again: "It will happen sooner or later, so I can't blame you. I don't know about soldiers. Now it's up to Gu Hou to put his heart into countering the rebellion. Although this essay is written in a nonsensical way, But it will also make many people sit on the shore and watch the fire. The counter-rebellion needs to be done quickly, so that the provinces will not be chaotic."

Regardless of the words of discrediting Zhu Houcong and Yang Ting and these monarchs and ministers, they mainly use two points.

One is the influence brought about by the emperor's order to enter Beijing. The phrase "waiting to be killed" inevitably reminds people of Jianwen's downfall of the feudal clan.On the surface, Zhang Wei, Hui'an Bo, was killed just after greedy for some military pay, participated in the impeachment of Li Xiang's corpse, and Xun Qi was quite afraid.

The second is to redefine the Confucian sacrificial ceremony and the influence of the new law on officials and gentry.The sentence of following the old system of Taizu, cultivating benevolence and filial piety is very popular with many officials and gentry.In the old system of the Taizu, it is natural that the old system has been "perfected" before the new monarch came to power, and the legacy of Renzong Xiaozong is to make the officials both decent and beneficial.

If it succeeds, then naturally there is no need to face unknown new learning and new methods that have already begun to show their blades.

Gu Shilong cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Your Majesty decided to use the Longevity Festival to order the vassal kings and relatives to enter the capital. We are just waiting for this! Now that this has changed, the loyal ministers will bravely suppress the rebellion from the place where they should be in command. I let Geng Yongfeng went to Yuezhou Mansion just to prepare for the battle, don't worry about the pavilion!"

"Wang Bo'an first arrived in Jiangxi. Since King Ji's rebellion took King Rui as orthodox, King Yi could no longer stay out of it. Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, the mountains are dangerous and the waters are dense... Where did the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion go?"

"Qizhou."

"...Going upstream, it will take ten days to reach Yuezhou Prefecture. It will take nearly a month to prepare the army for war, and transfer food and grass." Sun Jiao pondered, "There are also the hinterland of Jingxiang, De'an Huangzhou and other Huguang villages. Wang. The guards of Wuchang, you can’t take them all away.”

Instead, Gu Shilong persuaded him: "Getai, Fei Zichong in Sichuan, Jiang Jingzhi in Nanzhili, Wu Xianchen in Guangdong, Wang Bo'an in Jiangxi, and Yan Weizhong in Zhejiang are all people who deeply understand His Majesty's will. Most of the kings in the world are enshrined in Huguang, Jiangxi. Isn't it surrounded on all sides now?"

Sun Jiao thought about it for a while, but he could only sigh: "When there is chaos, disaster relief will inevitably be difficult. What I worry about is that when there is a military disaster, the victims will have nowhere to go, and the bandits will grow stronger."

"It's up to Getai to worry about it. It's not too late. I'll lead Wuchangwei and Mianyangwei to Yuezhou Mansion!"

……

When Prince Ji, Commander Tang Peiyu of the Changsha Guard, Pu Zitong the Commander of the Hengyang Guard, and Fu Rongzhong, the prefect of Changsha Prefecture, started to make trouble together, Prince Rui's Mansion in the city of Hengzhou was completely unaware of it.

Seeing Pu Zitong barging in with blood on his body and armor all over his body, Xia family palely hugged Zhu Zaihou, who was just six years old.

"All killed!"

Pu Zitong put down these words coldly, and the generals he brought went straight to the various parts of Prince Rui's residence. The targets to be killed were naturally the Department of Yiwei, Department of Chengfeng and other officials of the palace—these were all selected by the court. .

If you have soldiers in your hands and you have made up your mind, then you no longer have any scruples.

Pu Zitong walked up to Xia Shi and Zhu Zaizhen, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general Pu Zitong arrived late, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty was frightened! Please don't worry, the Empress Dowager. All the sects are guarded by the generals, and the divisions of King Qin are coming."

Xia Shi was indeed frightened, her lips trembled pale and didn't know what to say, she just felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Suddenly, Zhu Houcong's young and always smiling face appeared in her mind: After all, she, a miserable person, was used as bait, and now she is inexplicably called the Empress Dowager.

What empress dowager and Your Majesty?What is the teacher of the king?
She just wanted to live in peace, and in the past two years in Hengzhou, she has actually had a good life, without so many constraints.

In Prince Rui's mansion, Xia could hear screams and screams from everywhere, as well as some wanton laughter.

She shook her head at Pu Zitong in horror, but was speechless.

Pu Zitong didn't care about these things: "Come here, the guards are good, and change clothes for His Majesty!"

If the emperor is not in Beijing, the place where he visits is called Xingzai.

Even for the prince, according to the Ming Dynasty Code, there is not much difference between the clothes and the prince.

Now, Pu Zitong and these people are already going to support Zhu Zaijun as the emperor to attract firepower.

Facing Pu Zitong who was about to win, the Xia clan was powerless to stop him. He could only hug Zhu Zaijun tightly and begged, "General, this is a serious crime against the nine clans..."

Pu Zitong looked at the "Empress Dowager" who was still charming, with a "loyal" smile on the corner of his mouth: "Empress Dowager, since your Majesty is the heir of the late emperor, it is orthodox. The last general will be loyal to the emperor, and the whole world will support orthodoxy. Wait for the success of the rebellion." , the last general does not need to be rewarded, I just hope to live up to the kindness of the late emperor."

Xia family refused.

Although she doesn't know much, she still knows the allusion of the yellow robe.

If Zhu Zaihou put on this suit, there would be no turning back.

But since Pu Zitong dared to kill the magistrate of Hengzhou and break into Prince Rui's residence, she and Zhu Zaihou had no turning back.

In Changsha Mansion, Wang Bangrui, who happened to be inspecting water conservancy and disaster situations at the time of the incident, was tied up and held at the intersection of the downtown area of ​​the city.

The 68-year-old Zhu Jianjun stood up on his own initiative, and beside him was his grandson Zhu Hou, who was furious.

Fu Rongzhong, the original prefect of Changsha, has been "promoted" to become the left servant of the Ministry of War.

There was a large row of officials kneeling at the street corner, and Fu Rongzhong stood in front of an incense table and presided over the etiquette.

Among the existing vassal kings, Zhu Jianjun's seniority is quite high. After all, he is the son of Yingzong and the younger brother of Xianzong. He was crowned king in the first year of Tianshun.

There is no one in Changsha County, where the Changsha government is located, who does not know King Ji.

Zhu Jianjun made a grand ceremony to tell heaven and earth: "The ancestors are above all, the son of King Xingxian was hijacked by rebels to steal the throne, and he didn't think about killing traitors. Instead, he corrupted the ancestral system, disobeyed the etiquette, and harmed the clan. The foundation of the Ming Dynasty will not survive! Today, I am ordered by the late emperor’s heir, Zhengtong, to seek rebellion against heaven! Civil servants and military generals in the world are rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, and they all obey the emperor’s order, and return my country and society to Zhengtong. Today, I will sacrifice the flag with the rebel officials appointed by the false emperor’s rebels!”

His son died young, but he still has grandchildren.

Zhu Hou was furious and very excited.

Grandpa Wang said that as long as the former emperor's heir was accepted as orthodox, then Jiangxi Yiwang had no choice but to rebel.

When there is a war, the kings of Jiangxi will act as barriers to the east.The disasters in Nanzhili and Zhejiang were even worse. Once the war on the Eastern Front was stalemate, the people in the world who were sitting on the shore and watching the fire would all fall to orthodoxy.

The new law and new learning want to rob the officials and gentry, how many people don't think about the good old system?

This is what people want!
But now, the generals of Changsha and Hengyang who are raising troops are inseparable from the fertile land by Dongting Lake and the profits of merchants.

How could Prince Rui, who is just a child, really be able to sit firmly on the throne?
As long as the big things come to fruition, Zhu Hou will be furious in this world in the future!
Zhu Jianjun has gone through several dynasties in his life.

He was born in Nangong, where Emperor Yingzong was imprisoned. When he grew up, he heard about the old incident of Seizing the Gate, worshiped his elder brother, Emperor Chenghua, and watched with cold eyes how his nephew was coaxed by civil servants to change many old rules. How does his nephew want to open up another world.

Zhu Jianjun also has some admiration for this grandnephew.

But his knife was sharpened too quickly, and Zhu Jianjun had lived in Changsha Mansion for too long, and had too many interests in Changsha Mansion that were hard to give up.

King Chu and King Liao passed away inexplicably, and Prince Ji's mansion had already seen the cold blade that Wang Bangrui showed when he was clearing up water conservancy.

Now the emperor is facing a drought that Zhu Jianjun has never seen in his life, and he wants to attack Confucius. Zhu Jianjun feels that this is an opportunity that he will never encounter again.

After he became a vassal, he engraved the "Picture of the First Saints" and "Shangshu" in Yuelu Academy. He is a prince with a good reputation among scholars!
Although people like Gao Kewei and Meng Chun were arrested, and people like Wang Rumei were executed with a cane, don't people like Fu Rongzhong still have the guts?

The vassal kings, relatives, civil servants, and generals are all full of people who are expecting someone to stand up first.

Zhu Jianjun is already 68, and he only has this grandson left.

If he went, that thick-skinned kid would look at the richness of Prince Ji's mansion and come down with a decree to get rid of King Ji, how could his grandson resist?
It's better to give it a go with prestige!
Determined, Zhu Jianjun ordered without hesitation after turning around: "Cut!"

On the execution platform, Wang Bangrui felt a little regretful.

But the matter has come to this point, we can only stay loyal and hope that the emperor will take care of his death and shade his descendants.

His mouth has long been blocked, and he can't swear here, he can only be pressed down on the head with a "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

The soldiers of Changsha Guard held big swords and raised them high.

In the north of Xiangyin County, Changsha Prefecture, where the Miluo River flows into the north bank of Dongting Lake, Geng Yongfeng asked Si Cong in the military tent, "What do Jinyiwei do for walking in Huguang? Aren't there people in the inner factory? I mean, the prefect of Changsha and the Commander of Changsha Weihengzhou Guard have the intention of being rebellious, didn't they know it at all in advance?"

After Si Cong helped him take down Xiang Falong, the commander of the Yuezhou Guard, he was still helping to stabilize the situation in the Yuezhou Guard. There was a problem with the Changsha Mansion.

He could only answer helplessly: "General Geng, I was originally ordered to go to Guangdong. Even though I am staying in Huguang temporarily, I only obey the orders of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. I don't know who the name of Jin Yiwei Huguang Xing is."

"...Go to the shore of Xiangkou Lake first, and capture Xiangyin!" Geng Yongfeng said with a sullen face, "Since the special service team has other training, the military situation is urgent now. Although the Marquis's military order has not yet arrived, I would have ordered you to sneak into Changsha Mansion to find out Enemy."

Si Cong was also unambiguous, clasped his fists and said, "I'm humbled to obey orders!"

Countering rebellion is a big deal, and countering rebellion is a merit!
According to Geng Yongfeng, under the command of Jin Yiwei Huguang Xingxing and Neichang Cicada, there are still people sneaking in Changsha and Hengzhou.

However, when the army of the local guard moved, some people responded from inside and outside, and the situation was temporarily under their control.

Seeing that the sword was about to be swung down, several people in the crowd looked at each other in blank dismay.

All four of them were asking for instructions in their eyes, but the other remained aloof.

Walking said, the commander will go to Sichuan first, and then to Huguang.

Now, Commander Luo is in Huguang.

This situation may be what His Majesty wants.

After all, the pieces of steel knives fell down, and Wang Bangrui and others, who were suddenly caught in a conspiracy and chaos, were awarded the head.

Zhu Jianjun on the high platform shouted vigorously: "Send troops to Changde to persuade King Rong and King Huayang!"

Although Changde Mansion is small, there are two kings here, and the king of Huayang County is even from the lineage of the king of Shu in Sichuan.

King Rui, King Ji, King Yi, King Rong, King Huayang, King Shu... The more vassal kings from all over the world gather under the banner, the easier it is for the general situation to deflect.

Is the chaos in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty so easy to calm down?

With the terrain of southern Hunan, western Hunan, and eastern Hunan, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!

And in the Hengzhou Mansion, the Xia family watched with trepidation after all his son was put on the dragon robe and left Prince Rui's Mansion surrounded by them to "inspect" the officers and soldiers of the Hengzhou Guards and select the generals.

The news had already spread to Nanchang Mansion, and Wang Shouren, who had been in office for less than a month, ordered without hesitation: "Nanchang Wei goes to Yuanzhou via Ruizhou Mansion, and Yuanzhou Wei is sent to prepare for the war in Pingxiang. Wei and Jianchang Thousand Household Office escorted King Huai and King Yi to Beijing."

Jiangxi only needs to deal with Yiwang's problem first, and Yan Song is behind.

After Wang Shouren gave the order, he set off from Nanchang Mansion to Jianchang Mansion in the southeast. King Yi was in Jianchang Mansion at the border of Jiangxi and Fujian.

Huguang, Luo An is in Jingzhou.

So Jinyiwei Huguang Walk also went to Jingzhou.

Luo An used to be in Prince Xing's Mansion, but later came to the capital, where few people knew him.

Jin Yiwei walked around and basically didn't show his face.

In a private house outside the Liao Palace, Luo An looked at the subordinates in front of him and asked, "Is the evidence solid?"

"There is no mistake. The death of King Liao, the King of Guangyuan, the prefect of Jingzhou, and the King of Chu are all inseparable!"
