Chapter 104: Discussing the Puppet Emperor

第一百零四章            讨伪帝檄

It is a quick thing to call the cabinet to meet.

But the message changes faster.

It can be said that in just half an hour, Zhu Qizhen received several messages in a row.

It is not that these messages are intended to arrive during this period, but reports from different departments and channels are all the fastest routes, so the speed of the messages is just about the first and last.

After Zhu Qizhen summoned the cabinet to the Ganqing Palace, he did not speak for a moment, and asked Huaien to remember something. It was the proclamation issued by King Ning to fight against the false emperor.

The manifesto of King Ning is very skillful.

He explained his justice from three aspects.

The first is that Zhu Qizhen's bloodline is not correct and he is not a Zhu family.

The second is that Zhu Qizhen was in a state of great military power, and the people of the world were living in poverty, but their desire to open the border was never stopped.

The third is Zhu Qizhen's way of abolishing Taizu and practicing heresy words.

The first one, needless to say, is the content of the previous rumor.

The second one has even hit many people's thoughts.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen has always raised the status of a warrior and fought against each other. Such a strategy is actually not popular with many people.

In order to fight against Zhu Qizhen and Wasai, Cao Nai would rather pay the price of resignation.

This is definitely not Cao Nai's opinion alone, but the opinions of many people.

Moreover, with the decline of Watanabe, the Western Regions arrived in the destiny, and the fall of Annan, the anti-war power became stronger and stronger. After all, most bureaucrats were lazy.

Now, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak. The emperor did not want to live a good life at home and kept trying to fight. Isn’t that just the saying that even if the country is big, war will perish.

Therefore, there have always been many people who oppose continuing the war openly and secretly.

It was just suppressed by Zhu Qi.

These people have no say in the court, but it does not mean they do not exist.

As for the third item, it caters to a considerable number of people.

The series of changes that Zhu Qizhen started from the Biyong Association did not satisfy many people. It can even be said that it made a considerable number of people dissatisfied.

Because Zhu Qizhen suppressed the government and the opposition, those who opposed the reform could not stand out at all, but it did not mean that these people would no longer exist.

According to the manifesto of King Ning, King Ning is still very politically wise.

After Huai'en finished reading, before Zhu Qizhen could speak, Han Yong was the first to go out and kneel down and salute, saying, "I am not doing it properly. If you have something to do today, I would like to retire and return home."

After Han Yong heard the news of King Ning’s rebellion, his head was buzzing.

He knew that his political career was over.

Although he also knew that he would inevitably be in a position of lowering his position after doing this, he did not expect that things would develop to this extent.

In the logic of Confucianism, the way of kissing is a very important position.

Han Yong never felt that there was any problem with whether the rebellion of King Ning was quelled. But if King Ning was quelled, would the matter be over?

No. It is the beginning of another storm.

When it comes to the conclusion of the rebellion of King Ning, we naturally have to talk about King Ning's various rebellious actions, but we also have to ask one thing, who directly led to the rebellion of the vassal kings.

You should know that in Confucian logic, the vassal kings are brothers and sisters of the emperor and should be the most staunch supporter of the Ming Dynasty. Someone must be responsible for this?

So who is responsible?

The emperor naturally has no responsibility.

Han Yong naturally has to take responsibility.

Now Han Yong took the initiative to take the matter into consideration and asked for it, but he still wanted to finalize this matter. Otherwise, he would not only involve himself in the future.

You should know that the famous Liu Jin was moved to the rebellion of King Anhua.

Therefore, whether the vassal kings rebelled or not, they would have a great impact on the court.

Zhu Qizhen also understood this, but he would never let Han Yong leave at this time.

After all, Han Yong has been the chief assistant for ten years, and his prestige against the superiors and subordinates has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Now it is a matter of trouble. If you change the chief assistant temporarily, it is impossible for Han Yong to have the prestige and strength.

Now it is a troublesome time, and the rebellion must be quelled as soon as possible.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Han Qing does not need to blame himself. Today's affairs, but what does it have to do with you when you seek death? Now it is the time to use you, so don't say much."

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said to Wang Yue: "Duke Wei, what do you think about what is happening now?"

Wang Yue said without hesitation: "As Your Majesty said, they are just seeking death. King Ning," he paused slightly and immediately changed his words and said: "Ning Ni is just to gather the troops of the Jiangxi garrison. They are not elite troops in the imperial court. Even if there are tens of thousands, they are not opponents of the imperial army."

"But now, the court has to worry about two things."

"The first is whether Ning Ni has a party?"

"The second is that the Jiangnan is empty and Nanjing can be used in the army, but only one branch of the Yangtze River Navy and thousands of left-behind Beijing camps, which have more than enough defense but insufficient attack."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen understood immediately.

The so-called Ning Ni has a conspiracy? In fact, to put it another way, that is, King Ning rebelled and will anyone respond?

Whether anyone responded was two different levels of rebellion.

As for the empty military force in Jiangnan, it is a simple military issue.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment.

Although he was caught off guard by the incident of King Ning, after thinking about it, he still did not think that the vassal kings in various places had the courage to rebel.

Even if it is a resurgence.

You should know that confronting the imperial court is a very courageous thing.

The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and each of these vassal kings is not barefoot. They cannot enjoy the glory and wealth. Even though the court has been restricting the vassal kings over the years, this is just a trivial matter for the vassal kings.

But if the rebellion fails, the outcome can be imagined.

Not every vassal king has such courage.

You should know that even during the Jingnan Campaign, how many vassal kings stood with Emperor Taizong at the beginning? Almost none of them were. King Ning was essentially driven by Emperor Taizong.

Among the royal family and vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the highest quality was naturally the group at the beginning of the country.

They did not dare to bet easily about their wealth and life. Now these vassal kings who were sowed by wealth and honor did not dare to have the courage.

From this point of view, King Ning is simply an anomaly.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I told all provinces to be careful and not to act rashly."

Wang Yue said: "I am here."

Zhu Qizhen said: "This time, don't transfer the troops from Huguang."

Obviously, deep down in Zhu Qizhen, he was still worried about the great vassals such as the Chu vassal and Shu vassal.

Wang Yue said: "In this way, the officials can only transfer the troops from Jiangsu to Nanjing and ordered Fan Guang, the general general of the canal transport, to preside over the rebellion. This is the fastest."

When Zhu Qizhen heard the name Fan Guang, his heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

Fan Guang became famous in the battle under Lhasa City, and then served as the general of Shaanxi for a long time. However, he later became ill and treated by imperial doctors. However, he was frostbite and penetrated into his bone marrow. Now that he is old, he is starting to attack.

Fan Guang resigned immediately.

But now the Ming Dynasty will feel a little bit withered.

Even Yang Xin, who was about the same age as Fan Guang, was gone. Shi Biao was old. Zhu Qizhen felt very pity for these veterans, so he ordered him to serve as the general of the canal transport, and his garrison was changed to Yangzhou.

In fact, when Chidao and maritime transportation develop, the general officer of the canal transportation is no longer as important as before.

Because the entire canal transportation is likely to be cancelled.

Even the most important function of the general officer of the canal transport was never to fight, but to follow the orders of Chen Yi, the head of the Ministry of Works, to build water conservancy.

After Zhu Qizhen intentionally built the Huai River, he decommissioned the 100,000 canal transport troops. Some of them were placed in water conservancy projects and were specially responsible for maintenance. Some were trained into special engineering troops. Whether it was building a road, water conservancy, or city, such troops were needed.

The Cao Transport Army is such an army, but now there is nothing we can do about it.

How many troops are there in Jiangsu Province? It has also been said during the Jiangnan Rebellion. It would be good to draw 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. However, for the Ning King Rebellion, it is too little.

Only this army is used.

However, although the Cao Transport Army was not good, the Ning Wang Army was not an elite. The Cao Transport Army had at least one famous general, which made Zhu Qizhen feel somewhat relieved and said, "Okay. To fight against the generals of the rebellion, Hou Fan Guang of Xining led the troops of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang and Jiangxi to attack Ning Ni. He also ordered a unit of the Jingying camp to prepare to go south immediately."

"yes."
