Wanli Youming

Chapter 496

Chapter 496

After the 15th year of Wanli's New Year's Eve, the temperature is getting warmer, and the fresh green has gradually flowed out from the melting ice and snow, spreading to the window of Qinzheng Palace, and Zhu Yijun, who is standing in front of the window, is just listening to Zhang Jingxiu's urgent report.

Zhang Jingxiu said to him at this time: "Your Majesty, Huguang Jinyiwei came to report that someone in Wuchang is making armor privately, and the Chu Palace is buying a large amount of beans. It is said that there is not enough beans for the guards of the Palace, but according to our people, The amount of soybeans stored in the royal palace of Chu has far exceeded the needs of the horse army guarding the royal palace by several times."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Jingxiu in a deep voice, "You mean that the King of Chu wants to rebel?"

Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I dare not speculate on the clan arbitrarily, but if what Huguang Jinyiwei Xizuo said is true, then I have to tell His Majesty about it."

"It's okay."

"I won't blame you for alienating the clan because of this."

"It's just that if it's true, why did King Chu do this? Doesn't he know the results of the rebellion of King Guangtong, King Anhua, and King Ning?"

Zhu Yijun waved his hands and spoke.

Zhang Jingxiu said: "I dare not comment on this matter."

"Go and summon Master Shen and Qi Shu."

Zhu Yijun ordered suddenly.

Not long after, Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang came to Zhu Yijun's place.

"Now that the system has been restructured to this point, there are powerful vassals and civil and military bureaucrats who are unwilling to endure some loss of interests and take risks. I have thought about this situation. It is far more benevolent than Yao and Shun's sages and benevolent monarchs, and asking the world to forgive the clan can't bring disaster to the country and the people, but people's desires are difficult to control, so that they really restrain themselves because of the best, not everyone can do it."

"However, don't worry, Your Majesty, this kind of rebellion is generally difficult to accomplish, not to mention that the vassal king is no longer the beginning of the country."

Qi Jiguang spoke first, and then said: "It's just that if the king of Chu raises troops at this time, it will really be a good time. At present, most of the troops that the imperial court can deploy are concentrated on fighting against the Japanese and developing Donglai. If we deploy troops at this time It's even more difficult not to mention the horse, and it is easy to cause emptiness in the Nine Sides and the capital."

At this time, Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, as the Prime Minister said, the reform has reached today, and there is a lot of loss of interest due to cleaning up Buddhist temples and attracting people's money to develop foreign profits. As far as the powerful clans are concerned, no matter how much they know what they want, there will be people who can’t bear to create chaos, and they don’t want to wait until the external interests completely exceed the internal interests of suppressing the people, and they will make waves.”

"However, if the king of Chu really wants to fight, he must have the support of the governor."

"Otherwise, even if the imperial court doesn't mobilize troops and horses, even with the troops controlled by Fu Yaguan in Huguang, even if he can't quell the rebellion, it will still make it difficult for the king of Chu to successfully leave Huguang. The person who can cut it off quickly; when the Wu Temple was in power, King Ning conspired to cause chaos, and Mr. Fuyang Ming of Jiangxi Province at that time could quickly put down the chaos.”

"So in my humble opinion, if the king of Chu really dares to plan chaos, and if he is wise and not stupid for a while, then he must have the secret support of Fuyong, and even if the court cannot immediately mobilize troops and horses, it should stop it first. Touch the possibility of collusion with it."

Zhu Yijun asked: "How to stop it?"

Shen Shixing couldn't help frowning: "at this time, of course, we can't change the caress suddenly, lest the new caresses will not know where to go, but we have to stop them. In my opinion, I should ask the hall to discuss and seek collective advice."

Zhu Yijun said: "That's okay. Before the political affairs are discussed, I have an idea. You can discuss it when you discuss it, and you can refute it if you think it's inappropriate. You can't dare to refute it just because it's my words. .”

Shen Shihang said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "Sir, teach me that governing the country should follow the right way!"

"Nowadays, the system has been reformed in accordance with the people of the world. Whether it is the powerful officials or ordinary people, most of them are still on the side of the court. Not many people want to oppose it, and not many people want to change me, and most of them even insist on it. The will of God is the will of God, so judging from the general situation, even if the king of Chu wants to plot chaos, he will definitely lose!"

"But it's just that the current imperial court's main energy is focused on the outside world, so it's difficult to take care of it for a while, and it will cause great damage to the inside by causing chaos. In order to avoid this kind of damage, it is necessary to turn the conspiracy into an overt conspiracy. Suppress it with force!"

Zhu Yijun said and stood up: "If you want to do this, you might as well use one word to impeach the Huguang governor and collude with the king of Chu to rebel, and use Yang to break his conspiracy!"

"On the imperial court's side, of course, they will not punish the Fuyin official for falsely accusing the Fuyin official. They will only let the Fuyin official investigate the rebellion of the king of Chu and express their trust in him with a clear purpose, but the Fuyin official will not dare to Then secretly support the king of Chu in plotting chaos, making it easier to take down the surrounding cities."

"Otherwise, the Fudian officials will definitely become the target of public criticism. Once there is a slight setback, more officials will suspect that they are in collusion with the King of Chu. In order to avoid being blamed by the court and hurting their families, they can only do their best to suppress them. Clean yourself up."

After Zhu Yijun spoke, Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Shen Shixing replied with a smile first, and said: "The so-called evil does not interfere with righteousness, and the caresses are scholars. First of all, if the officials of the caresses cannot be hypocritical, then the scholars must not be hypocritical! The king of Chu is so lonely!"

"Yes."

"As a low-ranking official, if you support the king of Chu's plan for rebellion, you will only dare to support it secretly. For example, you deliberately led the standard battalion to leave Wuchang when the king of Chu raised his troops, and deliberately arranged those who had already made peace with the king of Chu in some strategic passes, and put money and food The firearms craftsman was secretly placed in a place that the king of Chu could plunder, and in this way he would at most be guilty of ignoring the soldiers, at most he would be dismissed from his job as a civilian, and his family would not be hurt."

"Besides, His Majesty has never been willing to severely punish ministers who made mistakes in doing things, so they don't have to worry even more, because some crimes of negligence and ignorance of soldiers will be severely punished."

"And if someone in the imperial court really leaked the rumors that they were ignorant of the fact that they deliberately pretended to let the King of Chu's rebellion succeed, I'm afraid they will have to seriously put down the rebellion. After all, this involves the safety of the nine clans."

"There may be people who are not smart or sensitive among the vassal kings, but they are also those who are not smart or sensitive. They don't really want to be determined to help the vassal kings make trouble. On the bright side, they would rather commit suicide and die for justice. No chaos."

Qi Jiguang echoed a few words, and said: "I think this is a good strategy!"

"Then go to the hall for discussion based on this, and the speaker will be found by the master. At that time, the cabinet will punish the speaker, but remember to promote him back later."

Zhu Yijun said.

Shen Shixing said that he complied with the order, and after returning to serve the Yusi, he informed Liu Yingjie, Wang Xijue, Zhang Xueyan and others about the possible rebellion of the King of Chu.

Wang Xijue and others couldn't help being shocked after hearing this: "Why are these vassal kings so bold?"

"It's not the vassal king who is bold, it's the officials, gentry, tyrants and right middle class who are too bad!"

After Shen Shixing said something, he asked a group of ministers: "Among the officials of science and Taoism, is there anyone who dares to impeach Huguang governor Luo Zun and the king of Chu for conspiring to cause chaos?"

After hearing this, Liu Yingjie became thoughtful.

Wang Xijue suddenly said at this moment: "This plan is brilliant!"

After Wang Xijue said that, he bowed to Shen Shixing first: "Yuanfu can be my teacher!"

"Ge Lao misunderstood, this plan is for the emperor."

Shen Shixing said with a smile at this time.
