Chapter 144 Situation 2

“Advantage?”

Jiang Lang couldn't help but mutter in his heart that he still had some doubts about the so-called advantage of the Third Prince, and this doubt was naturally reflected on Jiang Lang's face.

When the third prince saw Jiang Lang's performance, he thought that the young man in front of him had a good attitude towards war, but he didn't understand the things in the court. However, for the third prince, he admired Jiang Lang very much. It is said that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but good generals are hard to find. Although the Ming Dynasty had millions of soldiers, due to Wang Zhen's autocracy, many of the African generals in this army were his confidants, and he was quite good at bragging, but he knew nothing about this marching and fighting, and Jiang Lang was protecting Zhu Yuqi to Fuzhou.

The demeanor of a general was vaguely shown in the matter of Huailai, which made the Third Prince believe in his heart that the Jianglang is a dragon tied to the shallows. If he returns to the water, he will be the real overlord in the water, so he can't help but help Jianglang. On the other hand, the Third Prince also knew that the sinister power struggle in the court could be comparable to the ever-changing changes of the battlefield. Once the battlefield is defeated, it will be a defeated army. If the court is not careful for a while, it will be a family and a family will be destroyed.

The third prince naturally did not want Jiang Lang so good to not die in the battlefield, but in the end he died in the intrigue of the court. He also wanted to mention something. Seeing Jiang Lang's face showing doubts, he said, "You must understand where your advantage lies. First of all, you know the current situation of the court."

After saying that, he picked up a pair, placed it on the chessboard, and said, "First, it's the Emperor!"

He picked up a soldier again and said, "The second one is Wang Zhen."

Finally, he picked up an elephant and said, "The third one is Yangpu."

Tweaking the chess piece gently, the third prince continued: "Although this will be the biggest. Once it is killed, the chess will lose. However, although this will control the overall situation, it can only move in these few places. In other words, in fact, in the entire chessboard, this will be the most vulnerable. All chess pieces are for protecting him. The current priest can no longer see the world of our Ming Dynasty due to being bewitched by Wang Zhen. But what can only be seen is the prosperity of the capital above the court, the suffering of the Ming Dynasty and the disaster of the Ming Dynasty. If this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

Speaking of this, the third prince couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Lang hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, father-in-law, this emperor is just blinded by Wang Zhen. As long as Wang Zhen is eliminated, this emperor will be able to see the world."

Jiang Lang said it is also true. According to historical records, Emperor Yingzong also managed the entire Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner in his later years.

The third prince nodded and said, "I hope so too. Now let's talk about this scholar."

Tap the scholar gently, and the third prince continued, "Wang Zhen was still relatively restrained at the beginning, but now only Yangpu is left in the three Yangs, and the other two ministers of the imperial cabinet cannot stand alone, and their scheming is not as good as Wang Zhen. So Wang Zhen gradually grew stronger and slowly controlled the government. Although this scholar could only move a few steps, he relied on the nearest chess piece. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he used the emperor to command the princes. The situation is actually similar. Wang Zhen used the emperor's favor to him.

He has cultivated his confidants. If the ministers in the court oppose him, there will be almost no good end. They will either be exiled to the frontier or their families will be destroyed, causing the entire court to be in chaos and everyone will be in danger. Even if you say you have eliminated Wang Zhen within one year, it will take a lot of effort to eradicate the rest of his forces. And you can only take advantage of the time when the emperor is not in the capital, otherwise the emperor will definitely protect Wang Zhen. These people will soon be rekindled. In the end, more ministers may be involved."

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be shocked and immediately understood a big loophole in his plan, that is, Yingzong's favor for Wang Zhen. History is because Yingzong was captured, Wang Zhen was killed, and Emperor Jingtai succeeded to the throne and completely eliminated Wang Zhen's remnants. However, if he had to save Emperor Yingzong according to his own plan, then Emperor Jingtai would not succeed. Even if Wang Zhen was killed, Yingzong would also maintain Wang Zhen's remnants. The so-called emperor and ministers could only be completely eradicated if the emperor changed. Therefore, now, not only should Wang Zhen be eliminated, but another point is to eradicate Wang Zhen's remnants. In Yingzong and the elimination of Wang Zhen's power, one must find a balance point, but this balance point is obviously very difficult to find.

The third prince did not know what Jiang Lang was thinking, but continued: "Third, it was this image, only Yang Pu. Among the three Yangs, there was only Yang Pu, but he was also the master of the court and one of the people that Wang Zhen dared not move. But the only regret is that Yang Pu is too old and has no power to care about the affairs in the court, so he cannot restrain Wang Zhen at all."

Speaking of this, the third prince sighed and said, "Now the power in the court is roughly divided into three factions. The first is Wang Zhen, the second is Yang Pu, and the third is the ministers in the court who live in the slits. Among them, Wang Zhen has the greatest power, and all the departments of the court have his confidants. As for the Dongchang, it is completely controlled by Wang Zhen."

After a pause, the third prince changed his mind and said, "I originally thought that the court could only do this from now on, but now your appearance has given me a glimmer of hope, or what you said that you wanted to get rid of Wang Zhen that day, which has given me a glimmer of hope. Moreover, I just said that you have a great advantage, and this advantage is that no one in the court will make you embarrassed."

The third prince picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down, saying, "I don't know if you understand?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I really don't understand, so I'd like to ask my father-in-law for advice."

"The first one is Wang Zhen!"

The third prince said lightly: "Think about it now, Wang Zhen has the intention to win you over. In the morning court, he asked the emperor to issue an order to marry the ministers. This is undoubtedly a favor. Another reason is probably to please the emperor. It is probably to find that the emperor cares a lot about you, and at the same time, he also finds that you are a talent, so he wants to win you over. According to Jiang Chengzhi, the first gift was sent by Wang Zhongshu, and it is very valuable, which is also one aspect. Third, it is the fact that Zi Ling was kidnapped that day. Now Zi Ling has not yet known about this matter, and she was fascinated by someone with a cigarette that day, so she doesn't know about the story of the matter, but this is the best. But, who do you know who the person who hijacked Zi Ling?"

"Wang Lin!"

Jiang Lang said very surely, "Only Wang Lin can do that kind of thing, but I don't know who sent Zi Ling back."

"It should be Wang Zhongshu."

The third prince continued, "Later I sent someone to investigate. Now Wang Lin has been under house arrest outside Wang Zhen's city. And the only one who can control Wang Lin is Wang Zhen. The other is Wang Zhongshu, who is ordered by Wang Zhen and does not usually buy Wang Lin's account. Perhaps after learning that Wang Lin kidnapped Zi Ling, he immediately intercepted Wang Lin, put him under house arrest, and then sent Zi Ling back quietly. This shows that Wang Zhen does not want to have conflicts with you in this matter. Therefore, Wang Zhen will definitely not be difficult for you in many things in the future. You can make good use of this."

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "I remember the son-in-law in my heart."

The third prince nodded and then said, "There is also the emperor. I heard that the emperor Yu Qian praise you as Zhao Zilong from the Ming Dynasty. Is there any such thing?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "I don't know this."

The third prince was stunned and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Since the emperor thinks you are Zhao Zilong of the Ming Dynasty, then you should be Zhao Zilong of the Ming Dynasty. This will be very good for you. If you don't say anything else, many people think that you are the current celebrity of the emperor and will respect you three points. Again, you are my son-in-law and a county horse. Although I have not participated in the government affairs, I also have some acquaintances in the court. If you ask them to take care of you, it is also a small matter."

Jiang Lang's face changed slightly and he said, "Isn't this very suitable?"

The third prince shook his head and said, "There is nothing inappropriate. Now our Ming Dynasty is full of internal and external troubles. Wang Zhen's party controls the government and disrupts the government's principles. There are also foreign countries outside who are eyeing us. And these people cannot be underestimated. Although our Ming Dynasty looks powerful on the surface, it is actually a disease and a high-blindness."

"What did my father-in-law say about the tile thorn?"

Jiang Lang asked, and in his heart he also agreed with the third prince's words. Due to Wang Zhen's autocracy, many people who were not capable were arranged to take important positions in the army. Apart from being busy with greed for a day, these people did not care about any military training. As a result, many Ming troops were lax in military preparation and combat effectiveness were very underground. Compared with the soldiers who grew up on horseback such as Watshu, the Ming army was far behind. This is why the situation of hundreds of thousands of troops going to war and ending up being defeated and Yingzong was captured. Although this was related to Wang Zhen's blind command, on the other hand, it also had a lot to do with the military generals and soldiers of the army. Later, the Yesen army even fought to Beijing. If Yu Qian was not prepared enough, the Beijing city might be very dangerous.
