Even though King Han was already causing trouble in the north, Zhu Yunwen was not overly afraid of King Han in his heart. What he was really afraid of was King Yan.

The King of Han is very obedient and understands the ways of a monarch and his ministers. He was like this during his last trip to Liaodong, and it was the same when he returned to the capital. He knelt down at the gate of the East Palace, showing no disobedience at all.

"I also think it would be better to start with the King of Yan. Although the King of Han is in the north and his own people are fighting his own people, in the final analysis, he wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible to mourn and fulfill his filial piety."

Fang Xiaoru cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the King of Han had good intentions and wanted to fulfill his filial piety, after all, one of his own people beat his own people. In our Ming Dynasty, besides Lan Yu, this was the second case, but the former has been executed now!"

"

"King Han is a prince after all. The son of the late emperor naturally cannot kill the whole family like Lan Yu, but this is a good opportunity. Your Majesty can also use this to establish prestige among the kings. If you sit back and watch King Han attack Guang

Ning, if you don't care, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to manage among the kings in the future!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he stood up and walked slowly in the imperial study room, thinking for a long time.

"Then according to Aiqing's words, we will start with the reduction of the rank of the King of Han, and make him hand over his military power as soon as possible based on this crime and return to the capital as soon as possible!"

"But who will be sent to Liaodong this time? Is it Jin Yiwei or..."

Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei is a ruthless official office founded by the late emperor. It is used to monitor the illegal activities of all officials. However, the Jinyiwei is not the right way after all. I also ask Your Majesty to abolish the Jinyiwei as soon as possible and restore peace to the government and the public!"

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also agreed.

"Your Majesty, please abolish the Imperial Guards as soon as possible and bring peace to both the government and the public!"

Zhu Yunwen frowned: "Since I want to reduce the vassal, I cannot do without the help of the Jin Yiwei. If I abolish the Jin Yiwei at this moment, wouldn't I be causing trouble for myself and constraining each other?"

"My dear friends, I promise you that after I wipe out these vassal kings, I will naturally abolish the Imperial Guards and issue an imperial edict that the children and grandchildren of future emperors of the Ming Dynasty will never be able to use them!"

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you, knowing that what the emperor said made sense. Abolition of the Imperial Guard at this time would be equivalent to cutting off an arm, especially at such a critical moment as cutting off the vassal, so the three of them knelt down and worshiped.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

…

Zhu Song commanded the Kaiyuan army to push straight to Guangning.

Zhu Song had never thought that Guangning's soldiers and horses were so useless. When they first attacked, the formation of these guys was in chaos like a piece of loose sand. Under the impact of his own army, they were as vulnerable as fallen leaves blowing in the wind.

One blow.

The number of soldiers and horses of the various kings in the imperial court was not all the same.

Among the nine great fortress kings, the one who could command the most troops and horses was King Yan of Peiping, followed by King Jin of Qin in Chang'an and Taiyuan, and finally King Han of Kaiyuan.

Needless to say, the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan, King Qin and King Jin were the older princes when they were alive, and they fell into feudal status earlier. After arriving in the country, they naturally developed some armies after a few years of development.

But when it comes to Zhu Song, Zhu Song is a sneaky and wretched man, reclaiming wasteland, smelting steel, forging armor and weapons, and recruiting troops. At the beginning, there were only 30,000 troops in Kaiyuan, all of whom were old, weak, sick, and disabled. It was even more difficult to protect themselves.

Forget about leading troops into battle.

But under Zhu Song's operation and management in the past few years, Kaiyuan now has a total of 125,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to these 125,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 100,000 tile prisoners, Zhu Song can now

There are 200,000 troops at his command.

The 100,000 Wala people are still prisoners, but since the beginning of spring, Zhu Song has successively removed several groups of Wala people from the peace repair project, and also allocated them pasture land, cattle and sheep.

These 100,000 people were all captives before and were made of a monolithic structure. If you want to completely dissolve this iron block and still use them for your own use, there is only one way, and that is to divide and disintegrate them from within.

Some people have already lived a good life. If those captives from Wala who are still miserable want to live that kind of life, they have to work hard to express themselves.

Race has never been an indestructible shield, only class is.

These Wara soldiers were Zhu Song's last trump card. He originally thought that he would use these trump cards in the war with the King of Liao, but who would have thought that the total number of troops dispatched by the King of Liao did not even amount to 50,000 people.

These 50,000 soldiers and horses were far inferior to the 20,000 soldiers and horses that Zhu Song later transferred from Kaiyuan. Although these 20,000 soldiers and horses were inferior in numbers, in terms of strong soldiers and horses, Guangning's 50,000 soldiers and horses were not as strong as Kaiyuan's 50,000 soldiers and horses.

The original 20,000 troops and horses.

Zhu Song knew what was going on as soon as he thought about it. The King of Liao was greedy and seemed to have eaten a lot of free money.

After all, they are members of his own family. Zhu Song showed great momentum in the first battle, and then said that they are all members of his own family. As long as he puts down his weapons and does not block the way of His Highness the King of Han, His Highness the King of Han will not take action.

In less than half a day, Zhu Song had already devoured 20,000 of the 50,000 troops.

Zhu Song led his soldiers and horses to bypass Guangning City. At this moment, Feng Cheng, the commander of Kaiyuan Liubaili Emergency Command, wrote a letter and was quickly handed over.

Zhu Song read the letter. In the letter, Feng Cheng earnestly advised Zhu Song not to attack Guangning. He must not attack, otherwise he might be in trouble.

Zhu Song burned the letter after reading it.

In fact, what happened today was not done by Zhu Song's brain. The things that happened today were all decided by Zhu Song himself after thinking about it.

It seems that since Zhu Song played Kaiyuan, he has been thinking about how to buy himself some time.

While thinking about it, Zhu Song suddenly remembered an allusion: Wang Jian asked for a title, but Xiao He defiled himself.

Is the monarch afraid that his officials are corrupt? He is not afraid, nor is he afraid that his officials are lustful. As long as they love money and are lustful, there will always be something that can fall into the hands of the monarch.

And it is when this little bit of information falls into the hands of the monarch that the monarch can be happy. It may seem like a small mistake, but it can make the monarch dispel his doubts about his ministers.

And if he endured it this time and did not explode against the King of Liao or use troops against Guangning, it would make Zhu Yunwen worried about him.

A vassal king who can control his own temper, predict the situation, and smoothly use the situation to his own benefit. A vassal king who has local military power is really terrible. If Zhu Song were the emperor, Zhu Song would not be able to sleep.

But this time Zhu Song deliberately showed his flaws and deliberately made people feel that he could not control his emotions, just to give Zhu Yunwen a sore leg and make Zhu Yunwen feel that he was not a threat. This was Zhu Song's purpose.
