Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 861 Getting Ready
In a room facing the street, King Lu and Zhang Kentang stood, looked at the clan surrounded by the army, and jokingly said: "This time, King Yu has created a big problem for the Chu party! If it is not handled carefully, at least Wang Gu Yanwu, the left servant of Yan’s Ministry of Rites, and Xia Wanchun, the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, must bear the responsibility, and resignation is inevitable.”

"Isn't it? With so many clan gatherings, it's enough for the Chu party to have a headache." Zhang Kentang sighed, and then cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, what should we do now? The resettlement of Jiangbei refugees and the transfer of the clan to Taiwan are one thing now." , shall we help the King of Chu, or don't care about anything!"

King Lu pondered for a moment, he had his own considerations, "Now is not the time for us to make a move. If the King of Chu has no choice, he will naturally negotiate with Gu. At that time, Gu is going to operate Li Xiangzhong as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites. You let him do it well." Prepare."

Zhang Kentang understood what King Lu meant, and the plan to move the vassal to Taiwan must be implemented, but he was not prepared to take the initiative to help the Chu Party. Benefit.

"The lower officials know, if we can arrange for Li Xiangzhong to enter the Ministry of Rites, our right to speak in the court will be regained."

King Lu nodded and didn't speak any more. He looked out of the Xihua Gate with deep eyes. He really wanted to see what method Wang Yan used to settle the clan.

On the other side, King Tang and King Yu were also standing in a house facing the street. King Tang's face was a little gloomy, while King Yu lowered his head, waiting for Brother Wang to reprimand him.

"Didn't Gu tell you not to interfere in this matter, but you didn't listen, do you think the King of Chu didn't know what you did?" King Tang turned his back to King Yu, with anger showing on his face.

King Yu was a little unconvinced, raised his head and said timidly, "Brother Wang, I just hinted at King Yi and the others. Even if Wang Yan knew about it, I can't blame Brother Wang for coming. Besides, I think it would be troublesome for Wang Yan. , It is also beneficial to Brother Wang, if Wang Yan does not handle it well, Brother Wang can just take the opportunity to get rid of a few Chu Party officials."

Tang Wang saw that he refused to accept, but also contradicted him, he was even more angry, turned around, stared at him and said: "You are so impulsive, so self-righteous, the assassination of Wang Yan last time made Gu and Su Ge old Very passive. If Wang Yan didn’t want to make matters worse, you would have been dismissed as a commoner by Xiaojue. Do you think you can take advantage of a few officials from the Chu Party this time? The servant Gu Yanwu is a general of the Chu Party, and the householder is Wang Fuzhi, the brother of the King of Chu. Now Xia Wanchun, a newcomer of the Chu Party, is in charge of the stability of Nanjing. One or two cadres from the Chu Party, do you think it will be our turn to take the vacant seat? Even if the King of Chu gave it to the Zhejiang Party, he would not give it to us. From the beginning to the end, we will not be able to ask for it in this matter. Good point!"

King Yu's face turned pale when he heard that, he was not yet twenty, hot-blooded, and a bit presumptuous, how could he think so comprehensively.

Tang Wang saw that he was silent for a while, and after all he loved his younger brother a little bit. He let out a heavy breath and said in a slow tone: "This is the end, you just remember the lesson. In the future, you must think twice before doing things. In fact, the clan It's not completely useless to provoke, at least you can only judge the thoughts in the king's heart through the actions of the king of Chu. If he uses force against the clan..."

King Tang didn't finish his sentence, but King Yu already understood what he meant. If force were to be used, the calm Nanjing court would be undercurrents immediately.

In July, although it was getting late, the weather was still very hot. The clans sat for a long time, and everyone was sweating profusely, and their backs were also soaked in sweat. It was very uncomfortable. Many clans who were fatter could not bear it.

They had been seated for nearly an hour, but the surrounding soldiers remained motionless, and the imperial court did not send any more officials out. The imperial city has been closed tightly, which made the leading clan feel a little guilty.

Zhu Shugui, the king of Liao, was older and couldn't take it anymore. He wiped the Han beads on his forehead with his sleeve, and said to King Yi and King Xiang: "Wang Yan hasn't come yet, and the queen mother and emperor haven't come out to speak. How long are we going to sit?" , if this continues, I can't stand it anymore."

King Yi's lips were dry. As suzerain vassals, they had never experienced such hardships, but in the current situation, they were on the verge of riding a tiger. Once they backed down, they would have no choice but to resign.

"Think about Taiwan. It's hotter there than Nanjing. We went there. The fiefs have to recruit unruly people to reclaim the land, and the palace has to be built by itself. What's the point of suffering now? Which of you wants to go to Taiwan!" Yi Wang turned his head to look with chapped lips. He glanced at the crumbling clan, and then reassured the people around him, "Don't worry, the court dare not let us die. If a prince or county king dies from heat or starvation, who can afford it?"

Smoke came out of King Xiang's throat, "King Yi is right, my surname is not Wang Yan, dare to let us sit like this forever, big guy, if you insist, this time you must force Wang Yan to give in and abolish the order to move the vassal."

Hearing what they said, King Liao could only grit his teeth and continue to persevere, but his whole body shook a little, and he would fall to the ground when he was not young.

While everyone was talking, there was a sudden commotion on the Taiping Street in front of the Xihuamen, where the clan was sitting quietly. Many craftsmen and government servants suddenly began to build high platforms on both sides of the street, two of which happened to be on both sides of the Xihuamen. So that the clan members who sit in meditation can also see it.

This made the clan members a little confused, not knowing what the imperial court was going to do.

Chen Bangyan and other ministers set up a pergola under the Xihua Gate and guarded the scene to avoid accidents. They were waiting anxiously when Wang Fuzhi, who was going to report to Wang Yan, came back suddenly.

"Wang Ge Department, this is?" Chen Bangyan asked with some doubts when he saw Wang Fuzhi coming, but instead of Wang Yan, a group of doctors came with him.

Wang Fuzhi didn't answer in a hurry, first let the doctors set up a pot in front of the Xihua Gate, and boiled herbal tea and other traditional Chinese medicines to relieve the heat.

"Your Highness ordered that the clan not be allowed to suffer from heat stroke, so let me bring doctors from several pharmacies in the city of Nanjing over here, and the imperial hospital will send people to sit in the town later." Wang Fuzhi smiled, obviously in a good mood.

Chen Bangyan didn't quite understand Wang Yan's intentions, "What about Your Highness? When will you be here?"

"The Empress Dowager summoned His Highness to enter the palace." Wang Fuzhi stroked his beard and said: "This group of clans want to force His Highness to give in, how could His Highness be blackmailed by them, how could he come forward."

"Then what about this group of clans? If they sit like this, if one or two die, we won't be able to explain it!"

Wang Fuzhi smiled slightly, and looked contemptuously at the clan, "Chen Gebu Fangxin, His Highness has a countermeasure. Besides, His Highness sent doctors and imperial physicians here to ensure that they will not die even if they want to."

Wang Fuzhi brought a group of doctors over, and after a while, he set up the stove and boiled the traditional Chinese medicine. What an accident, even the doctor was sent over.

At this moment, a clan king of two hundred catties couldn't stand the sun and fainted. Seeing this, the soldiers in the distance immediately stepped forward and dragged the king to a cool place with great difficulty. The doctor immediately began to pour medicine.

Tang Wang in the distance saw this scene from the window, and his heart immediately relaxed. Although the Chu Party is in power, everything is running normally, and his power is also growing. There was another riot.

King Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, but he said: "Wang Yan is still soft-hearted and indecisive."

But Tang Wang sneered, "He is a thousand-year-old tortoise, he can bear it, he is so irritable to you, he can't hold his breath, and he is the first to stand out. In history, most of them show off their talents for a while, and most of them will not end well in the end."
