Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 205

The current Daqi Palace is the original Prince De's Mansion. As the palace of the feudal lord, it can be said that this mansion has achieved the ultimate security. In addition to being not as large as the capital, the level of security is even better.

The surrounding palace walls are covered by magical artifacts. Once they cross the palace walls, they will be sensed by the magical artifacts immediately. Moreover, there are magical artifacts on the palace gates. Any disguise or face-changing techniques will have no effect in front of the magical artifacts. .

In addition, there are three magical artifacts at the top of the three main halls in the palace. These three magical artifacts completely cover the entire palace. Anyone who wants to enter the palace from the sky will touch the magical artifacts. There are also magical artifacts in other halls. , although not as good as the three magical artifacts in the Three Great Halls, they are still sufficient.

Moreover, the imperial dining room, which was in charge of meals in the palace, also had magic tools to detect poisons. At the same time, the imperial dining room was also the place Fu Bo focused on. It can be said that if he wanted to poison him, it would be as difficult as going directly to the palace to assassinate him.

"Master, is this Kong family crazy?"

At this time, Ding Zimo on the side was puzzled, offering a reward to the emperor of Daqi, it sounds very domineering, but what is the difference between this and courting death, after all, if you can offer a reward to the emperor of Daqi today, then you can offer a reward to the emperor of Ming tomorrow, this kind of Things no emperor can tolerate.

"Not that serious."

Hearing Ding Zimo's words, Su Hao smiled and said, "Do you think that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will punish the Kong family and abolish the title of the Kong family for this reason?"

"This shouldn't be possible."

After hesitating for a while, Ding Zimo shook his head. Although the Kong family did violate the taboo of the emperor, it can also be said that the Kong family was loyal to the Ming court. I am afraid that the civil and military of the whole court will oppose the title of the family, and it will make everyone chilling.

At this time, Su Hao asked again: "Then do you think that the future Emperor Ming can abolish the Kong family?"

Hearing this, Ding Zimo shook his head again. The Confucian family was not so easily abolished. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang only ordered Mencius out of the Confucian Temple, which aroused the civil and military opposition of the Manchu Dynasty. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice even carried the coffin against Zhu Yuanzhang's rain of arrows, forcing Zhu Yuanzhang to retreat.

Even the founding emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang was like this, let alone other emperors. It can be said that as long as Confucianism is still the mainstream of Ming Dynasty, and the Confucian family does not raise the flag to rebel, no one can do nothing to win the Confucian family.

"The Kong family was also forced to have nowhere to go by us, so they used this kind of trick."

Su Hao smiled, although the Confucian family has an undefeated golden body, it doesn't mean that the emperor has nothing to do with the Kong family. Even if the Kong family can't be abolished, it's easy to add a few layers of magic spells to the Kong family However, it can be said that after this time, the life of the Kong family will definitely not be easy.

"Your Majesty, do you want to destroy the Kong family?"

At this time, Liao Qing asked, if the Kong family dared to offer a reward to the Emperor Daqi, if the Kong family could not be destroyed, Daqi's face would be lost.

"You can try one or two, but don't rush forward, so as not to lose too much."

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded. Since the Kong family dared to offer a reward to him, Da Qi naturally couldn't remain indifferent, or else he would lose face, but he should not be in a hurry. The accumulation of thousands of years of the Kong family should not be underestimated.

When it comes to understanding the background of the Confucian family, no one knows better than him, because Jinan Prefecture is where the chief envoy of Shandong is located, and Jinyiwei Yamen in Jinan Prefecture is responsible for monitoring the Confucian family.

As the leader of Confucianism, the Confucian family's strength is not small. According to the information left by the Jinyiwei Yamen in Jinan Prefecture, there are two martial arts masters in the current Confucian family, and there are five first-class masters, and this can still be checked. Those who have been found, those who cannot be found, do not know how many there are.

This is also one of the reasons why he aimed at the Kong family in the first place. It is very difficult for him to occupy Shandong. If the Kong family is left behind, maybe when he falls into a disadvantage, the Kong family may silently push him behind his back , Let him be completely beyond redemption.

Liao Qing clasped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"

"How's the situation in Liaodong?"

Su Hao asked, although the reward offered by the Kong family is disgusting, but it's just a clown. For him, what he should really pay attention to is the situation in Liaodong.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, Yuan Chonghuan has recaptured Guangning Guard and is taking back the forts around Guangning Guard."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liao Qing thought for a while before answering. Over the past year, the spies from Heibingtai have spread all over Jiangnan, Beizhili, Henan, Liaodong and other places.

"Where is the Jurchen?"

Hearing that, Su Hao was not too surprised. Now that the Jurchen's vitality is seriously injured and Daming has the upper hand, if even the Guangning Guard can't be taken back, then Yuan Chonghuan is too useless.

Liao Qing replied: "There was a battle between the Jurchens and the Ming army in Guangning Wei before, but Yuan Chonghuan fought steadily and built a large number of chariots. The Jurchens suffered a small loss and then voluntarily gave up Guangning Wei. Withdrawn from Fort Xining."

"Strictly monitor the movements of the Jurchens, and immediately notify Tang Xiangjin of any changes."

After thinking for a while, Su Hao said, now Tang Xiangjin's territory in Liaodong is getting bigger and bigger. It has occupied Shimen Pass, Dazhanling Pass, Xiuyan City, Huanggudao Fort, accounting for [-]/[-] of Liaodong Peninsula. .

In the past two months, in addition to letting Luo Yi lead 8 troops into Liaodong, he also relocated tens of thousands of people and reclaimed nearly [-] acres of land. Next, he plans to relocate another [-] to [-] people. Among other things, at least part of the food and grass supply for the soldiers and horses in Liaodong must be met. If all of them are supplied by Shandong, the pressure on Shandong will be too great.

Liao Qing replied: "I obey the order."

"correct."

At this moment, Su Hao thought of another matter, and asked again: "Is there any movement from Lin Danhan on the grassland?"

It is difficult to rely solely on Tang Xiangjin and Luo Yi to defend the territory in Liaodong, because the Jurchens are also very good at looting. Once the Jurchens enter his territory from time to time to rob, then he will work hard to move the people there. It is possible that they made wedding dresses for the Jurchens in vain.

Therefore, he asked Liao Qing to pass the news of the Jurchens' heavy losses in the pass to Lin Danhan more than a month ago, and wanted Lin Danhan to contain part of the Jurchens' troops on the grassland.

"Return to Your Majesty, there is no movement on Lin Danhan's side for the time being."

Liao Qing thought for a while before saying, "The other party doesn't seem to believe our news."

"Sure enough, the mud can't support the wall."

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help shaking his head slightly. To be honest, he didn't know what kind of shit luck the Jurchen had to meet Lin Danhan and Zhu Youjian at this time in the late Ming Dynasty. For crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

Lin Danhan and Zhu Youjian are almost twin brothers. They have the same start, the same ambition and talent, and the same suspicion. It can be said that the two of them directly turned a decent deck of cards into a mess.

When Lin Dan Khan first succeeded to the throne, the power of the Mongolian Khan had been sluggish for a long time. The Horqin, Neikalkha, Tumed, and Ordos tribes in Monan went their separate ways. It happened that the rise of Hou Jin threatened the tribes in Monan. Khan was ambitious and wanted to restore the glory of the Mongolian Khan, so he decided to unite with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, and with the help of the Ming Dynasty's financial resources, he resubdued the tribes in Monan.

Originally, this was also an excellent opportunity. After all, the Monan tribes originally regarded him as the Great Khan in name. As long as you plan slowly, the chance of success is very high, but Lin Danhan is similar to Zhu Youjian and lacks patience. , I just wanted to see results as soon as possible, and my suspicions were still serious, and finally turned the good situation into a mess.

The various tribes in Monan took refuge in Houjin, and he was also expelled from Chahar, so he could only move westward to Tumed, and annexed the Tumed tribe, making himself an enemy everywhere on the grassland.

Now such a good opportunity, if the plan is good, it will not be a problem to regain Chahar's territory, but he still hesitates even this kind of opportunity, it can only be said that the mud cannot support the wall.

But he is not worried that Lin Danhan will not make a move. After all, with such a good opportunity, Lin Danhan will definitely not give up with his ambition. It is just hard to say when Lin Danhan will make a move, but it should not be too long.

"Your Majesty, just now there was news from Guizhou that the rebellion on An Bangyan's side was about to be quelled. Two months ago, in Hongtuchuan, An Bangyan and She Chongming fell in ambush and were killed at the same time. Only An Bangyan His nephew, Anwei, led the remaining remnants to use the terrain to resist stubbornly, and it was only a matter of time before they were pacified."

At this time, Liao Qing spoke again.

lost?
Hearing the news about An Bangyan again, Su Hao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. It was the second year of Tianqi when An Bangyan started his army, and now it is the second year of Chongzhen.

"Is there any news about Zuo Yifeng, a thousand household of Jinyiwei in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Thinking of this, Su Hao asked, he wasn't too surprised that An Bangyan was put down. Although the situation on An Bangyan's side was better than his, there were also flaws, that is, Guizhou was a barren area with a small population and insufficient food. This is doomed An Bangyan impossible.

Zuo Yifeng is the only one in Guizhou that he can pay attention to now. Although he doesn't have a deep relationship with Zuo Yifeng, he still admires Zuo Yifeng's personality.

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, Zuo Qianhu has already returned to the capital to discuss meritorious deeds."

Liao Qing clasped his hands and said, Liao Qing didn't hesitate about Su Hao's question. He also heard from He Liu before that the Zuo Qianhu in Kaifeng Mansion knew his majesty well, so he was inquiring about the news. At this time, people deliberately listened more.

Have you returned to Beijing yet?

Hearing this, Su Hao gazed at the north. Perhaps soon, he and Zuo Yifeng might have to fight each other on the battlefield. Three years ago, Zuo Yifeng had broken through to a martial arts master. This time when he returned to Beijing, one It is indispensable for Jin Yiwei to command colleagues or command affairs.

At this time, a palace guard came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is a martial arts master who claims to be Fang Haichuan outside the palace, asking to see him."

Fang Haichuan?
Hearing Fang Haichuan's name, Su Hao was also taken aback. There are quite a lot of old people's names that he heard today.

After being stunned, Su Hao said calmly: "Please come in."

...

Not long after, Fang Haichuan walked into Zichen Hall under the leadership of the guards.

"Fang Haichuan, a scattered person from Jianghu, is meeting His Majesty the Emperor Qi!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Fang Haichuan took the initiative to salute.

"Brother Fang, why do we have to play a game between you and me?"

Su Hao stepped in front of Fang Haichuan and stopped Fang Haichuan's movements. Although he attaches great importance to etiquette now, there are differences. For Tang Xiangjin and his subordinates, he naturally has to pay attention to etiquette, but Fang Haichuan It's not his subordinates, so naturally there is no need to pay attention to dignity.

He doesn't have many friends in this world anymore, so there's no need to include Fang Haichuan among his subordinates.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan took advantage of the situation. To be honest, he struggled for a long time to salute Su Hao. After all, he was the one who single-handedly picked up Su Hao in the past, and let him take the initiative to salute Su Hao. , he was also a little awkward.

...

After the two chatted politely for a while, Su Hao finally said, "Brother Fang came to Jinan Mansion this time, so he has to live here for a while."

"Brother Su, I'm afraid I will have to live here for a long time this time."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Fang Haichuan smiled wryly.

"Brother Fang, what trouble did you encounter?"

Hearing this, Su Hao raised his eyebrows. In fact, he was also a little doubtful about Fang Haichuan's arrival. When he sent a letter to inform Fang Haichuan, he also invited Fang Haichuan to join him in the incident, but Fang Haichuan refused at that time.

He thought that he would never see Fang Haichuan again in this life. After all, Fang Haichuan would end up leaving his official residence and fleeing the capital in embarrassment, which was also the reason why he was implicated. If you don't retaliate against him, then you probably won't communicate with each other until you die.

"This time, I came to Brother Su to take refuge as a brother."

Fang Haichuan told his recent experience with a wry smile. After being found by Lu Zhen last time, he spent half a month in the depths of the Taihang Mountains recovering from his injuries. After recovering from his injuries, he fled the Taihang Mountains and fled to the south of the Yangtze River to live in seclusion. stand up.

In the end, he was discovered by Jin Yiwei on the Jiangnan side, and Lu Zhen led many masters to ambush him in Jiangnan. Although he escaped desperately, Lu Zhen got the blood left after the injury. Afterwards, Lu Zhen invited Taoist masters to follow him all the way. , if he was not also a veteran of Jin Yiwei, he would have fallen into Lu Zhen's hands long ago.

In desperation, he had no choice but to flee to Jinan Fucheng. After all, there are not many places for him to hide in the world. Even going to sea is useless. Hao is here, but he has no interest in being a dog for the Jurchens and Mongols, so he finally came to Su Hao.

"Brother Fang has been implicated by Su in this matter. Don't worry, Brother Fang, people from Daming have no guts to play wild with me."

After listening to Fang Haichuan's words, Su Hao was also a little embarrassed. Fang Haichuan really suffered an innocent disaster. If it wasn't for him, Da Ming would never have dealt with Fang Haichuan at any cost.

"It's not Brother Su's fault."

Fang Haichuan shook his head lightly: "If it wasn't for Brother Su, I'm afraid that my brother and Commander Tian sent them to walk around Caishikou together."
