Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 125 Zuo Liangyu Wants to Rebel (Part [-])
No one realizes how much what Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian asked a storyteller and a celebrity to do today will suppress literati and gentry in the future.

Even Shi Kefa thought it was just His Majesty's whim, and he could indeed see that what His Majesty did was aimed at the civil society, but he didn't think that two ordinary people could take the power of public opinion from the hands of imperial scholars in the imperial court. Take it back from Li, and it will be directly controlled by the king.

On the contrary, Liu Jingting felt that doing this was more meaningful than storytelling, so he couldn't help igniting his youthful fighting spirit, and returned home late at night, ready to follow Emperor Chongzhen back to Nanjing after packing up.

Li Xiangjun held her cheeks and frowned, staring at the candle lamp in a daze. She didn't know if this was a deliberate idea of ​​the king in front of her to possess her, but the newspaper office mentioned by His Majesty Zhu Youjian made her think it was a very important thing. challenge thing.

Zhu Youjian stretched his waist, was tired for an hour and was just about to take a nap for a while, when he saw Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, suddenly came to Zhu Youjian in the dark:

"Your Majesty, according to the detailed report, Zuo Liangyu intends to serve the king on the fourth day of February. It has been confirmed that this news is true. Li Chengdong's troops under Zuo Liangyu's command have already led 15 elite soldiers to Huangshi Mansion, and it is only three days away from Jiujiang. !
In addition, we have found out that someone used the cover of caravans to travel frequently between Nanjing and Wuchang. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, we did not act rashly. However, according to our observations, the biggest suspect of the businessmen who frequently enter and exit Wuchang Prefecture may come from the capital. In the old mansion of a certain pavilion, because someone said something slipped through the mouth, it happened to be overheard by our people. "

After Wu Mengming finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Youjian solemnly. Although he could be regarded as an experienced veteran who had followed Zhu Youjian since the 16th year of Chongzhen, he was also a little nervous to say something inconvenient.

Shi Kefa also hurriedly followed in at this time. As the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, he was also quite aware of Zuo Liangyu's strength. When he heard that Wu Mengming had rushed back from Huguang, he also realized that Zuo Liangyu might have some intentions. He is now more sensitive to military intelligence than before while staying in the Supervisor of Rituals and the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

"Zuo Liangyu really wants to rebel!"

Seeing that Shi Kefa also followed, and seeing his curious face, Zhu Youjian told Shi Kefa the information.

"what!"

Shi Kefa immediately took a step back, gritted his teeth and said: "Zuo Liangyu is indeed the same as Wu Sangui and others. It is a waste of the court to treat him so favorably! However, Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu has millions of teachers, and his subordinates are like clouds. Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan and others are all veterans who have fought against the Tartar bandits for many years, if Zuo Liangyu seeks power and usurps the throne now, I am afraid that we will not get rid of the foreign troubles, and add internal troubles!"

Li Ruolian, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, also has a sad face. He has been with Zhu Youjian all the time, and as a member of the Jinyiwei system, he also knows how powerful Zuo Liangyu is now, and controls the vast military and political power of Huguang. , There are millions of string-controlling men under his command, and the imperial court excludes the recruits who are training, the total force is only more than [-], even if the recruits are added, they are only evenly matched.

Therefore, if you forgive Li Ruolian, you know that His Majesty must be furious, and the situation in the court must be more or less ominous. What is even more frightening is that Zuo Liangyu's rebellion may not be a unilateral action. The officials communicated with them in secret and acted as internal responses to each other. Otherwise, His Majesty's rule would be even more in jeopardy!

In other words, all the efforts made by His Majesty to prepare against the Tartars will come to naught!
Yan Yingyuan and the three guarding the stairs also heard the news, and they also knew what it meant for Zuo Liangyu to raise an army to rebel after they had gone to the military overview of the Ming Dynasty.

"Old Li Ge said that Zuo Liangyu is currently the most powerful general in Ming Dynasty, and the army under his command is said to have millions of people. If he rebels now, our court will be attacked by the enemy. This is a big taboo for military strategists. Sure enough. As Brother Yan said, next year doesn't seem very clear!"

Chen Mingyu muttered in a low voice first.

"Zuo Liangyu is a traitor, he doesn't rebel sooner or later, but he rebels at this time, which is really against the way of being a minister, and he ignores the overall situation of the world. Does he know that if he does so, the whole of China may be ruined? The hand of a foreign race! He can do this kind of thing that makes relatives hurt enemies!"

Although Feng Houdun was born in Juren, a serious scholar, and even a county school teacher in Jiangyin County, his temper was the hottest. First, he dared to shoot Mao Pijiang directly in Yangzhou City, and now he dared to directly pretend to be in Chongzhen here. Emperor Zhu Youjian scolded Zuo Liangyu severely.

Yan Yingyuan shook his head: "You two don't need to be so excited. You and I are both officers and soldiers of the Guards. It is a gun in His Majesty's hand. Whether it is Zuo Liangyu or You Liangyu, as long as Your Majesty wants to shoot, We obeyed the command, why bother to worry about His Majesty, this is the responsibility of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, but, in my opinion, this is nothing to His Majesty. Although Zuo Liangyu has millions of soldiers, it is nothing more than If I am not mistaken, His Majesty has already prepared for it."

As Yan Yingyuan said, Zhu Youjian really didn't think that Zuo Liangyu's plan to rebel against him was so frightening.

After all, even the Hongguang Dynasty in the original history could break Zuo Liangyu's plot to raise troops to seek power and usurp the throne, but now he has Yuan Jixian and Huang Degong preparing for Jiangxi, and has hundreds of thousands of newly trained soldiers under his command, and he is not Hongguang has a stronger political foundation, and Zuo Liangyu is really nothing.

Seeing that Shi Kefa, Wu Mengming, Li Ruolian and others were so flustered, Zhu Youjian thought it was a little funny and yawned:
"What are you panicking about? Zuo Liangyu is far away in Guangzhou. Besides, it's only the twelfth lunar month, and there is still more than one month left. Don't worry. The guards I have trained just take this opportunity to experience actual combat, so as not to fight the Tartars in the future, and cut them down repeatedly." People don’t know where to cut their heads.”

Shi Kefa and others did not expect His Majesty to be so indifferent, and secretly admired His Majesty's calmness while being suspicious.

"Jin Yiwei continues to investigate. It is right not to scare the snake. It is best to create an illusion that we only pay attention to the Tartars, but we still have to observe closely. Beware that Zuo Liangyu realizes that we are prepared and jumps over the wall and chooses to join Jiannu. The gains outweigh the losses!"

Zhu Youjian said and then ordered: "Go down and rest, you have to go back to Nanjing tomorrow morning."

"But, Your Majesty, this Zuo Liangyu is the generation of Liu Liangzuo after all, we can't take it lightly!"

Shi Kefa couldn't help but say something more.

Zhu Youjian saw that Yan Yingyuan and the others were also discussing, so he came over: "Let you stay here and just stay there, you have nothing to say, don't rest, but your name is Yan Yingyuan, right? You should say what you just said. I heard that, let me tell you what you think, Zuo Liangyu is going to rebel, you should not be afraid."

Shi Kefa did not expect that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was still thinking about training the newly promoted grassroots officers at this time, and he was quite anxious and disappointed. Of course, he also hurriedly gave Yan Yingyuan a wink, hoping to use this to help Yan Yingyuan and let him be calm in front of His Majesty Analyze the extent of Zuo Liangyu's threat.
