Chapter 906 Fang Shoushi's Decision
Four days before the emperor's wedding, on the first day of December, Shen Yiguan's Qin Wangling was sent to Datong, and the governor of Datong, Fang Shoushi, knelt down to receive the order.

After the sender of the imperial decree left, Fang Shoushi called Sun Chengzong to his room, and then showed the imperial decree to Sun Chengzong.

"King Qin? In other words, Xiao Jixin's army has already reached the capital? So fast? Shen Yiguan asked for help?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned.

"It can be said like this."

Fang Shoushi said slowly: "If it weren't for Shen Yiguan's lack of soldiers and Xiao Jixin's smooth progress, Shen Yiguan would not even have to call up soldiers from Datong. He had recruited soldiers from Gansu before. At that time he Don’t be in a hurry, now even the soldiers and horses of Datong are going to be recruited, so you can imagine how anxious he is.”

"Datong has just gone through a war, and a lot of waste is waiting to be built. The army is busy repairing the gaps in the Great Wall and repairing the military equipment in various cities. How can there be time to support him? He has done such a rebellious thing, Dong Weng, why don't you go to crusade? Him? Follow Xiao Jixin and attack Shen Yiguan!"

Sun Chengzong put down the edict with a look of disdain.

"Baby rope, don't talk nonsense."

Fang Shoushi frowned slightly.

"Nonsense? Dong Weng, this is not nonsense! This is the truth!"

Sun Chengzong said very angrily: "Xiao Jixin was forced to rebel by him, and even His Majesty abdicated, abdicate! Dong Weng, has there ever been an emperor who abdicated in Ming Dynasty? Since Yao, Shun and Yu, has there been any emperor in the world who has abdicated? I think he is famous all over the world." Being the head and assistant is actually a national traitor! Forcing the king to abdicate is a treason!"

"Baby rope!"

Fang Shoushi emphasized his tone: "There are many doubts about this matter. We have not yet known the whole story, so you are not allowed to speculate! Even if Shen has always been wrong, His Majesty is still the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the orthodox Emperor of Ming Dynasty. As subjects, how can we Can you resist the decree or not respect it?"

"Dong Weng, don't tell me that you still have to send troops to help Shen Yiguan!"

Sun Chenzhong looked at Fang Shoushi in disbelief: "At the time when Xiao Jixin was triumphant, you told Xiao Jixin to be careful and consistent, and this happened. Xiao Jixin would conspire to rebel, and His Majesty would take the blame for mistrusting Xiao Jixin." Abdicate! Does Shen Yiguan treat the world as fools?

Dong Weng, you already knew that things would develop like this, why did you say such things now?It's fine if you don't help Xiao Jixin get rid of it, but why do you want to get along with Shen Yiguan? "

Fang Shoushi looked at Sun Chengzong who was filled with righteous indignation, and sighed helplessly.

"Zhisheng, in the current situation, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. The most important thing is that the world can't be chaotic. What I care about most is the stability of the world, not personal gains and losses. If the capital can't be stabilized at this moment, once there is turmoil, Chaos in the world may not be impossible! Zhisheng, you know about the chaos of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, tell the old man, how did the chaos arise at the end of the Han Dynasty?"

Sun Chengzong frowned and said: "Naturally, the Yellow Turban Rebellion greatly increased local power and dispersed military power, and when the Shi Chang Shi rebelled, the general He Jin and the head of the Shi Chang Shi were killed by fire, and then Dong Zhuo went to Beijing. The government was chaotic, and officials from all over the country refused to accept it, and they raised troops to fight against Dong, and this was the chaos at the end of Han Dynasty."

"That's right, the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not cause chaos in the world, but the battle between He Jin and the Ten Permanent Attendants after Lingdi's death was the beginning of the chaos. The outside is basically the power of the central government. If they coexist, the central power is strong and can still suppress the local governments.

But after their merger, both sides suffered losses, the power of the central government was greatly damaged, and the border prince Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to disrupt the government. The rest of the local princes saw that the central government had weakened like this, the suppression of the local area was greatly weakened, and the fear of the local area was greatly reduced. After the Eighteenth Route princes challenged Dong, the prelude to chaos began in the world! "

After Fang Shoushi finished speaking, Sun Chengzong asked, "But what does this have to do with today?"

"First, Shen Yiguan rebelled and deposed the emperor, and then Xiao Jixin went to the north to attack the capital. Once he succeeds, he will abolish the emperor, and then establish the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is alive, it's okay, but don't forget the childish rope. Now the Supreme Emperor is in Shen Yiguan's hands. Xiao Jixin made it clear that it is impossible to keep Shen Yiguan alive, if Shen Yiguan is insane and harms the Supreme Emperor before his death, what will happen if the Supreme Emperor is in any danger?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned.

"Shen Yiguan joined forces with the Wuxun Beijing Camp to abolish the inner court, and now Xiao Ruxun wants to abolish the power in Shen Yiguan's hands. These are all the powers of the central government! In just over half a year, the inner court has lost all its honors, and the imperial court's strength In a big decline, if two emperors are replaced in succession, the authority of the central government of Ming Dynasty will inevitably be greatly damaged.

There is nothing in the local area right now, but in the borderlands, the surrounding tribes in the southwest, southeast, northeast, and villains with ulterior motives, don't they have any unreasonable thoughts when they see the decline of the central government and the chaos in the world?

It's okay for the Supreme Emperor to be alive, but if something happens to the Supreme Emperor, Xiao Jixin will make a new king, what's the difference between him and Dong Zhuo?Will there be a Three Kingdoms chaos in the world tomorrow?When the time comes, the people will live in dire straits and there will be no chickens crowing. Is that what you and I want to see? "

Fang Shoushi expressed his worries with a worried face, which surprised Sun Chengzong.

In this way, it seems to be true. Xiao Ruxun's power has increased greatly, and the power belonging to the court has been basically eliminated. Then, the authority of the central government has declined greatly, and Xiao Ruxun has entered the court. Then the result is no different from that of Dong Zhuo back then?
The stability of the world is due to the strong central government. The central power of the Ming Dynasty is strong. It is close to the northern theater and can directly control the border troops of many military regions. With the grain and fodder of the nine borders, it holds the life and death line of the nine borders. The military power of the nine borders is under control, the most powerful All the corps are in the hands, so the place is safe and secure, and they dare not make mistakes.

Once the power of the central government weakens, the nine sides are no longer in control, and the majesty of the Ming emperor becomes worthless in the hearts of the people of the world, ambitious people will inevitably appear, and the world will be in turmoil again.

Even if Emperor Taichang is a puppet, even if Shen has always been the powerful minister who launched the mutiny, he can at least stabilize the central government, the power of the central government is still there, and the world is still stable.

But what would happen if the power of the inner court and nobles were completely destroyed, the authority of the central government disappeared, and the suppression of the world was no longer there?
"The reason why I decided to send troops under the imperial edict was not for other reasons, but to protect the Supreme Emperor at critical moments. Shen has always been a rebel, and I will not join forces with him, but I must at least ensure that the Supreme Emperor is alive and that Daming has a chance of rejuvenation." possible.

The Supreme Emperor has been the emperor for 26 years. He is the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. With the Supreme Emperor, Xiao Jixin's power can be transformed into the power of the central court, and the world can be coerced again. There is still hope for peace in the world. If there is no Supreme Emperor, it will be really bad up! "

Fang Shoushi sat at the table, picked up a pen and began to write military orders.

"No matter what this time, we can't let the world go into chaos, otherwise you and I will become sinners through the ages. Protecting the Supreme Emperor is the most important thing. For this reason, we must enter the capital and try our best to get close to the Supreme Emperor. At this moment, we are waiting If we go with troops, Shen Yiguan will definitely let us enter the city."

Seeing Fang Shoushi's actions, Sun Chengzong was full of surprise and shock.

It was for this.

So, is there such a way of thinking?

Sun Chengzong felt that a new door had opened in front of him.
