Chapter 1716 The problem of Renzi scroll

Ye Xianggao shook his head, "Bo Xiao (Zheng Jizhi) won't participate in such things, as for Dongxian (Guan Yingzhen's characters) and Zishu (Chai Ke's characters), even if they have some grievances, they won't be here. It's time to fight, let alone get involved with this Anfu Hutong guy."

   "Brother Jinqing, are you so sure?" Li Sancai was a little surprised, "Wang Zinian is very active. As far as I know, he frequently visits the gate of Dongxian Mansion. Fei Bai and Meiming also met Wang Zinian."

"The more active it is, the more it means that they have nothing to do. This is for the outside world to see, which makes you and I suspicious. If they have already convinced Dong Xian and the others, they will just hide and wait for trouble. It's gone." Ye Xianggao sees these things clearly, and this is precisely the performance of Prince Yizhong's lack of skills.

   "Then we don't take any measures?" Li Sancai thought for a while and thought it made sense, but it seemed a little inappropriate to let Prince Yizhong continue to behave like this.

"How do we take measures now? Has he made any other changes?" Ye Xianggao said with a wry smile: "Even if he came to us and proposed to supervise the country, he can say that he cares about state affairs. After all, Da Zhou's surname is Zhang. He It is not unreasonable to say that, the Xuanfu Army has not proved that it has any special relationship with him, even if we know it well, so instead of thinking about how to deal with him, it is better to think about the matter of the Xuanfu Army How should we deal with it?"

Ye Xianggao's words made Li Sancai suddenly realize that the most troublesome thing is this Prince Yizhong. After all, there has been no change in his family, and as the former prince, he is still the chief prince with great influence in the court and the field. , when the emperor is in a coma again, the court is really hard to deal with.

   If it is not easy to deal with it, it can only be dealt with coldly and put on hold, but how to deal with the most urgent problem is the most urgent problem, and the most urgent problem is undoubtedly the Xuanfu army led by Niu Jizong.

The Jizhen army blocked the Xuanfu army, but the confrontation between the two armies will soon reveal the impact on the capital. Before that, only sporadic news spread in the capital, but after today, rumors will definitely fly in the sky. People's hearts are floating, and the court will not take it Come up with a strategy, and more unpredictable things will emerge.

   And this is probably in line with Prince Yizhong's expectations. Once the capital is in chaos and the situation is out of control, he, the former prince and the eldest brother of the current emperor, can naturally step out of the stage, plead for the country, and ask to supervise the country.

"Announce Niu Jizong's rebellion?" Li Sancai said hesitantly, and then shook his head in denial, "This is not the best strategy, and it is hard for the people of Gyeonggi to believe it, unless it is connected with Anfu Hutong, but Anfu Hutong One of them was lucky enough to be in the capital city, and he didn't say anything, but it was prone to many conspiracy theories,..."

Ye Xianggao nodded appreciatively. Li Sancai was still clear-headed. At this time, he had to define the loyalty of the prince as a rebel. I was afraid that countless rumors would come out. Stories like the one who set a trap first to frame Prince Yizhong could emerge, and the situation would be even worse.

   "Huaichang, can You Shigong repel Niu Jizong?" Ye Xianggao thought for a while and then said: "If his logistics supplies are cut off, how long can the Xuanfu army last on this line?"

"Ye Xiang, I'm afraid it's not an option to procrastinate like this. Since the Xuanfu army is coming from the east, they must have made sufficient preparations. Yanqingwei is actually not far from the line of the Yu River. Now the entire west of the Yu River is basically occupied by the Xuanfu army. Take over, Zhenbian City and Changping Prefecture have a lot of food and supplies, all of which are under the control of the Xuanfu army, it is impossible for too long, but I guess there should be no problem for a month."

Zhang Huaichang pondered and said: "If we want to deal with the Xuanfu army, I'm afraid we have to draw from the bottom, but it's also difficult, mainly because we don't know the situation in Datong and Shanxi. Our original arrangement fell into a passive position all of a sudden because of Zhang Chengyin's failure. , otherwise it wouldn’t have reached this point, so I’m also very worried about whether there will be problems with the arrangement in Datong. Yang Yuan’s time in office is too short. , Niu Jizong has a lot of means, I am still a little worried."

"Huaichang, are you worried that Sun Shaozu will leave too many people?" Li Sancai stroked his beard. The performance in Datong Town was lackluster,..."

"Brother Daofu, your description of lackluster performance is too narrow. He may not be a good fighter in war, but he is not bad at winning over his subordinates and inviting people's hearts. As for the position of general, if Niu Jizong doesn't have the background of being a general, even if Niu Jizong wants to promote him, he won't be able to take the position of deputy commander in chief."

Zhang Huaichang shook his head disapprovingly: "I have carefully understood his performance in Datong Town, especially in Ping'an Prefecture. He has hooked up with the Chahar Tumot people outside the side wall, and even brought a group of generals under his command. I listen to him very much, the interests are one, but his brother Sun Shaozong is able to fight, and now he is succeeding him as the general of Xinping Road. Wang Chenglong is also good at fighting, but because he disagrees with Yang Yuan, Niu Jizong dragged him over. It's really hard to say whether Keji is old and cunning, he will listen to Yang Yuan, but the situation in Datong Town is not optimistic,..."

  As Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Huaichang can no longer only care about the safety of his hometown in Liaodong, as he did in Zuodu Censor. He needs to take a look at the changes in the situation in the entire Nine Frontiers.

"If I knew it earlier, I should have replaced Niu Jizong directly. At least it would have made him lose his righteousness. Even if he wanted to rebel, without righteousness, the Xuanfu army would not listen to him." Li Sancai said regretfully: "It's a pity that the emperor was too righteous at the time Overconfident, over-believing in Zhang Chengyin's ability, Zhang Chengyin is also an incompetent person, and he delayed a big event at a critical moment!"

It cannot be said that Zhang Chengyin is too bad, but that Niu Jizong is more scheming. Before, everyone thought that Zhang Chengyin became Niu Jizong's confidant, relying on him as his right arm and right arm. Who would have thought that this was a **** to paralyze his own side, and he would use it as a trump card at the critical moment , All of a sudden, the court fell into a passive position.

Emperor Yonglong had a different idea. He designed such a situation painstakingly just to eradicate all troubles, but it was self-defeating, and he himself fell into a coma, which made the situation uncontrollable now. A lot of trouble was thrown to everyone present.

It stands to reason that civil servants are only in charge of court affairs, and generally will not interfere in the change of imperial power. For civil servants, whoever becomes emperor is acceptable, unless it violates the moral order, but now this situation has just happened, and civil servants are also pushed On the front line of the line.

"Then Huaichang means that we can only wait?" Ye Xianggao frowned, he didn't want to see the Xuanfu army gazing at the imperial court in the west, but there was nothing to do, "How do the people of Gyeonggi think of us like this? Xuanfu What exactly is the military's move, we can't determine the nature of it?"

"Ye Xiang, who wants to see this situation?" Zhang Huaichang rubbed his chin, "but now the situation is chaotic and the emperor is unconscious. It is estimated that brothers Zhonghan, Chengfeng and Erzhang are in the iron net mountain. Bian is also tied up, it is difficult to make a decision, but since the situation over there is clear, can you invite the three of them back, since the emperor is in a coma, according to what the imperial doctor said, just wait for the emperor to wake up, can you also use the big sedan chair first? The emperor sent it back to the palace for observation?"

  Zhang Huaichang's suggestion made both Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai fall into deep thought.

Indeed, now the emperor is far away in Iron Net Mountain, plus a few princes, three court elders and some civil servants are still there, many situations require running back and forth to ventilate, there are delays in time, and many things are It is also difficult to come up with a quick decision after discussion, so it is very inconvenient. If they can all return to Beijing, many things can be decided on the spot, and the efficiency will be much higher.

   "The emperor's return to Beijing, will it affect his body?" Ye Xianggao asked.

"It is reasonable to say that there is no serious problem. Didn't the imperial doctors say that it is not clear whether it is caused by the collision of the head or the qi deficiency caused by taking the pill to purify the fire, so we can only observe and rest, but judging from the pulse of the emperor, it should not be serious. As for serious problems, don’t use a carriage, but use a sedan chair, there shouldn’t be a big problem, it’s just that the speed is slower.” Li Sancai said hesitantly.

Emperor Yonglong was his Bole, and he was able to overcome all opinions and promote him to the cabinet. He also knew that many people were not convinced, including Zhang Jingqiu, Zhang Huaichang, Gu Bingqian, Huang Ruliang, Guan Yingzhen and others. If Di Neng wakes up as soon as possible, the conditions for returning to Beijing will be much better, and the hope will be much greater.

  But he was really worried that if something happened on the road, it would be self-defeating.

  Ye Xianggao finally nodded: "Then this matter should not be delayed, contact Zhonghan and the others, and get everyone there to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but Niu Jizong, Huaichang, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Now I'm afraid that he can only temporarily return to Yanqingwei in the name of drills..." Zhang Huaichang is also a big headache. If the court really formally orders it, it will undoubtedly acquiesce to the Xuanfu army's behavior. The prestige of the imperial court will be a big blow. In the future, if you want to change your tone and make accusations and pursue it as a crime, I am afraid it will be difficult to handle.

   "No, the court cannot bear this responsibility." Ye Xianggao also thought of this, and shook his head decisively: "Is there any other way?"

   "It's not easy to deceive people and force them to retreat." Zhang Huaichang thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, "But if the public opinion is fermented by itself, maybe it can be used?"
