Chapter 1125 The Truth
So far, what else does Zhang Fu not understand?He, a fisherman who thinks he is sitting on the Diaoyutai, is simply a monkey who allows others to play with him!When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, he, an undefeated hero on the battlefield, is far from being able to compare with Wang Xian.

That was once Yao Guangxiao's high-achieving apprentice, even Zhu Di was no match for a divine man...

.

In fact, the truth is more shocking than what Zhang Fu thought. Wang Xian did return to the capital for a while.But in order not to be exposed, he basically didn't show up, and he didn't even need to plan a layout. Wu Wei, Mo Wen, Liu Sheng and others in the capital had already taken care of everything.

The reason why Taisun and Xungui were defeated was largely because their actions were too slow, leaving too much preparation time for their opponents.One must know that before Emperor Hongxi came to the throne, Wang Xian and his group had concluded that the nobles would definitely have a fierce conflict with the emperor, so Wang Xian insisted on leaving the capital to avoid being caught in this whirlpool.

It's just that although Wang Xianren left, his attention never left.Under his instruction, Wu Wei and others began to make full efforts to plan ahead for possible conflicts.For more than half a year, Jin Yiwei, on the surface, followed the emperor's will, but secretly tried his best to investigate every move and every move of Zhu Zhanji and the nobles.

If the grandson and honorables were to attack the emperor at the beginning of his succession, Wang Xian's party might be caught off guard, but after more than half a year and nearly a year of preparation, they are already sure of victory, and they can even deliberately let the other party perform, and then in the most favorable The right time to deliver a fatal blow and strive for the greatest benefit.

Going back to the days of the conflict between the first emperor Ancuo and Changling, Wu Wei sent the whole story to Wang Xian's desk just one day later.As long as he knows how far the conflict has reached, how can Wang Xian fail to judge that the day of the showdown between the nobles and the emperor is at hand?

In addition, Jin Yiwei detected that Zhu Zhanji and Xungui were in frequent contact, how could Wang Xian fail to judge that His Royal Highness Taisun will also play an important role in the conflict?This is really extraordinary, because if the nobles win this contest, the emperor's authority will fall to the bottom. As the prince, the actual heir to the throne... Although Zhu Gaochi has been reluctant to rectify Zhu Zhanji's name for a long time, but a little People with political wisdom know very well that this is just a temporary suppression, and it will not really change anything.

Don't forget, Zhu Gaochi was able to survive the ups and downs for 20 years under the hostility of the first emperor, and finally took over the throne smoothly, thanks to his status as the eldest son!He is the son of King Yan personally enshrined by Emperor Taizu. If Zhu Di wants the country to last forever, he must maintain the order and stability. He can only restrain the urge to abolish the throne and let Zhu Gaochi take over the throne and sit firmly in the position of the crown prince. superior.

Although it is said that at the last moment, Zhu Di wanted to let Zhu Zhanji surpass the prince to become the throne, but it was because he was old and feeble and regarded himself as the number one enemy, so the change occurred, and it cannot be judged by common sense.

By the same token, Zhu Gaochi would not pass on the crown prince to princes other than Zhu Zhanji unless it was absolutely necessary.That is the grandson of the emperor for more than 20 years, the genuine eldest son!
This truth is not only understood by Wang Xian, but also by Zhu Zhanji. As usual, even if he would quarrel with his father on trivial matters, he would definitely stand by his father on such a major matter related to the survival of the imperial power. Emperor's side.Unless, he can get more in this coup - then it can only be the throne!

Once I figured this out, all my doubts were solved.Because it is absolutely impossible for Zhu Zhanji to usurp the throne directly with a group of nobles, he must have the rumored imperial edict in his hand, and there must be some conditions in the edict that he cannot do, so Zhu Zhanji did not take it at the first time. come out!
As for the conditions, Wang Xian can say very immodestly that His Royal Highness Taisun will be so difficult only if it has something to do with him.Just think about Emperor Yongle's hatred towards him, and the content of that condition will become clear - he must kill himself to ascend the throne!
These principles that even Zhang Fu can understand, Wang Xian has no reason but ideals, once he understands these, the opponent's actions will have no secrets at all!Jin Yiwei even designed several plans for the nobles, and took preventive measures for each plan.Although, with the support of Jinyiwei's spies, they knew from the very beginning what kind of actions the British guild would take, but Jinyiwei's strength is too strong. It is a super intelligence agency that has defeated the emperor and Dongchang. There is no need to pay attention to "good steel is used on the blade", and it is not difficult to wipe out all possibilities!

This kind of situation often occurs when killing chickens with a sledgehammer.

Of course, such a victory must be crushing, there is no suspense at all.

.

This is an unfair contest with great disparity in strength from the very beginning. With the emperor's complete trust and support, Wang Xian is an invincible existence in the world.Zhang Fu and Zhu Zhanji knew this well, and Wang Xian would not be so naive as to think that others would underestimate him.

So everyone knew very well that as long as Wang Xian returned to the capital, all the turmoil would subside. No matter how dissatisfied the generals were, they would not dare to make too much of a fuss, let alone challenge the emperor, or even try to force the palace to seize power.

But Wang Xian would never return to Beijing in advance, that would only make wedding dresses for Yang Shiqi and others, and he would lose his own interests.Today, even the emperor can no longer ask Wang Xian to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic regardless of gains and losses.Because in essence, the two are not just monarchs and ministers, but collaborators for mutual prosperity and mutual protection.

But Wang Xian would never wait until the situation got out of control before returning to Beijing. After all, Emperor Hongxi was also his protector.If those nobles were to push the emperor out of power, Wang Xian's good days would come to an end!

Therefore, he must return to Beijing at the most appropriate time. Only when the nobles have already seen each other, and the emperor and civil officials are terrified, will he appear as a savior and turn the tide!
This time point is after the emperor and the nobles return to Beijing, but the problem is that the nobles also know very well that he will return to Beijing at this time!If the nobles knew that he would come back, they would probably choose to be a coward. This is not in Wang Xian's interests and his next plan.

Therefore, it is necessary to create an illusion of going south to Wudang Mountain, so that everyone believes that he will not return to Beijing, so that the nobles dare to give it a go.But it is extremely difficult to convince the opponent of this obviously unreasonable move.It can even be said that this is the most difficult part of the whole plan.

Wang Xian put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If he was Zhang Fu, he would not believe that Wang would not return to the capital at this time, but ran to Wudang Mountain to propose marriage.But at the same time, I must be eager for this absurd fact, because there are indeed too many incredible things in history that reversed success or failure.So Zhang Fu must have an ambivalence that he can't believe it, but desperately wants to prove it.

Once there is this kind of speculative luck, as long as there is a conclusive evidence, and there is no evidence to the contrary, the balance in Zhang Fu's heart will collapse instantly, and he chooses to believe that Wang Xian has indeed gone to Wudang Mountain!
Therefore, Wang Xian could only go to Wudang Mountain to propose marriage, instead of going back to Nanjing to see his parents.When returning to Nanjing, although Zhang Fu was unable to send people to the scene to investigate due to the same distance and time, Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and its importance is no less than that of Beijing. I don’t know how many forces’ nests are still there. It is said that Zhang Fu will verify whether he is really in Nanjing through the method of passing letters by flying pigeons.

No matter how powerful Wang Xian's Jinyiwei is, it is impossible to block all Zhang Fu's information channels, so Nanjing is absolutely impossible.

The situation in Wudang Mountain is much better. Huguang is still a remote area in this era, and Wudang Mountain is in the deep mountains and old forests.It is unlikely that Zhang Fu specially trained the pigeons in contact with Huguang. Even if there were any, they must have flown to Wuchang, the provincial capital. It would take more than ten days to go back and forth from Wuchang to Wudang Mountain, and the day lily was cold.

Therefore, Wang Xian can be sure that if he chooses Wudang Mountain, Zhang Fu will not have any channels to confirm his whereabouts.In this way, Zhang Fu will not have any evidence to the contrary.There was only one solid piece of evidence left to convince him.

And Wudang Mountain can provide just such evidence that Zhang Fu can be sure of—since the night of King Zhao's rebellion last year, Taisun Yingtai was in danger, and Hu Yu surfaced.Wang Xian kept a high degree of attention on this great master who had a long history with him and was loyal to the royal family on the surface, but in fact he was ambitious.

Once Jin Yiwei targets him, there will be no more secrets to speak of. This truth, which has been verified countless times in the Ming Dynasty, is equally effective on the mysterious and mysterious Hu Yu.

Through investigation, Wang Xian discovered that this Wudang master who had secretly tracked down Emperor Jianwen for nearly 20 years had once set up an underground spy organization for Zhu Di, and it was well established and flourishing.Unfortunately, it was Zhao Ying who finally captured Emperor Jianwen. In addition, with the precedent of Ji Gang, Zhu Di no longer trusted foreign ministers, so it was Zhao Ying who finally established the East Factory. Hu Quan had no choice but to hand over ten years of hard work .

After returning to Wudang Mountain and being depressed for several years, Hu Quan was recalled to the capital again by Zhu Di. This time his mission was to protect His Royal Highness Taisun.This is a promising career. Once the grandson ascends the throne, he will suddenly become a minister of Tuogu.It's just that the situation took a turn for the worse, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who finally ascended to the throne. His dream of "Tuogu Minister" can only be postponed indefinitely...

But compared to Zhao Ying who took away his hard work, Hu Yun was much luckier.Now the governor of Dongchang, who was determined to live forever, has been ruined and disappeared, and Dongchang, which he established by himself, has also been wiped out in the long river of history.After the disbandment of the East Factory, Hu Quan took the opportunity to secretly recall many old subordinates, and also absorbed many former masters of the East Factory.In this regard, His Royal Highness Taisun, who has been suffering from the lack of special forces, naturally welcomed it with both hands, and saved money to support this secret force.

As a matter of course, while helping the grandson, Hu Quan would also do some private work by the way, for example, establish a pigeon contact with Wudang Mountain...
