Come to Daming with military supplies

"Bold! This is the will of Emperor Daizong himself. Should we discuss it with you first?" When facing Cao Jixiang, Jin Ying was not so pleasant.No matter in terms of seniority or power, the two are not on the same line now.

Facing Jin Ying's scolding, Cao Jixiang didn't flinch at all.In fact, from the moment he walked out of the capital with his own warriors and the Jin Yiwei who obeyed his orders, he had already decided his position.

Now that he had a choice, how could he be afraid of Jin Ying's scolding?At that moment, Cao Jixiang also sneered and said: "When Daizong came to power, it was because Shi Heng reported that Yingzong was gone. But now that Yingzong is fine and will return to the capital soon, then Daizong should take the initiative to abdicate. After all, his power to oversee the country was bestowed by Yingzong."

"Oh? Yingzong is going back to the capital." Hearing the latest news, Jin Ying blinked her eyes several times in a row, then ignored Cao Jixiang, and looked at Yang Chendong who was receiving the edict and asked, "Master Hou ? Seriously?"

"It's true." Yang Chendong accepted the benefits of Emperor Daizong, so he naturally wanted to show something.Immediately said: "Eunuch Cao is right. Yingzong, Minister of War Kuang Ye, Minister of Household Wang Zuo and other ministers are coming to the capital. Alas, this Marquis was also ordered by Yingzong to return to the capital first. The purpose is to repay everyone's safety, but I never thought that Daizong has already ascended the throne and became emperor, so once Yingzong returns to Beijing, wouldn't it be one country and two emperors, so what should we do?"

In front of Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang, Yang Chendong directly pointed out the problem.Then his eyes flicked around the two of them.

One country, two emperors!But when it appears in history, there must be a fierce fight. Can two tigers be accommodated in one mountain?Not to mention how it is possible for a country to have two voices, so if something goes wrong, whose order should it obey?

Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang soon thought of this question. For a moment, their faces became very ugly, and they felt that they were stumped by reality.Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that everyone will not retreat easily, and the result is likely to be a confrontation.Whenever the great enemy of Wala is on the side, any internal strife will only benefit others.

In the side hall, the atmosphere became extremely tense for a while, no one of the three people was talking for a long time, and they all lowered their heads and thought about their own thoughts.

Yang Chendong also bowed his head, but he was not thinking about anything, but closed his eyes and rested his mind.After rushing on the road continuously, I haven't had a good rest since I came back, so I'm really sleepy for a while.

It was precisely because he was sleepy that he snored lightly after a while.This is so clear and so out of place in the silent side hall.

"Cough, cough." Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang coughed softly at the same time, waking Yang Chendong up in this way.

With the movement, Yang Chendong did indeed wake up.This raised his head met the eyes of Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang, and he said with a smile, "What? Did the two of you reach a conclusion? If there is an agreement, then please go. Benhou has been on the road for days, it is indeed true. Too sleepy."

After speaking, Yang Chendong stood up slowly, looking at it, he clearly wanted to leave here and find a big bed to sleep well.

Yang Chendong wanted to leave, Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang were in a hurry.They all know that they can't make a decision on their own. The other party refuses to give in, and they won't give in. In the end, they will just fight each other. This is the result that neither of them wants to see, because no one can guarantee that they will will be the winner.

After much deliberation, Yang Chendong still needs to be a partner, or a middleman, to give a balanced and reasonable way to deal with it.That being the case, how could it be possible to let him go?Immediately, the two stopped Yang Chendong, one left and one right, "Master Hou, we can't reach a conclusion through discussion, how about you point me to a way?"

Chapter 161 Two Emperors Rule Together (Second Update)

"Let me show you the way? Do you just trust me like this?" Yang Chendong is already familiar with his current identity, and he never leaves his mouth when he speaks.

For this, Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang were not displeased at all. On the contrary, they both nodded solemnly with very serious expressions.

"Hey, that's the case, then Ben Hou just say a few words." After speaking, Yang Chendong returned to the chair at the top and sat down.

"Okay, please say a few words, Lord Hou, no matter what your decision is, our Emperor Daizong will carefully consider and thank you." Jin Ying quickly expressed his determination, and at the same time raised his identity as Daizong, implying something.

Naturally, Cao Jixiang was not to be outdone, and immediately expressed his opinion: "Yes, Lord Hou, please give me an idea. Emperor Yingzong was saved by you. I think the emperor will definitely agree and be grateful for your decision."

The two were evenly matched, and each carried out the emperor behind him, which was to remind Yang Chendong that what he said next would be a bowl of water.

Regarding the tricks used by the two, Yang Chendong just smiled and didn't point out.After sitting back on the chair, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then he said slowly: "Daizong means that Yingzong is the Supreme Emperor?"

"Yes." Jin Ying nodded in response.

"Presumably this Yingzong won't accept it. He became the Supreme Emperor in his early twenties. Presumably no one would be willing to change it." When Yang Chendong said this, he was facing Cao Jixiang and asked.

"That is, Yingzong is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period. There are many things that can be done. How can he become the Supreme Emperor?" Cao Jixiang also kept nodding, praising the correctness of Yang Chendong's words.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. Obviously, the title of the Supreme Emperor is inappropriate. If we must do this, we will probably meet with each other. At that time, the only thing that will be lost is my vitality. They are all warriors from Ming Dynasty. But don’t forget that the Oirat army is coming to the capital. Once Juyongguan is breached, the capital will be opened wide. At this moment, the interior must not be unstable, otherwise, it will really be Loved ones are hurting, enemies are coming soon, right?"

"Yes, yes." Regarding the analysis of Yang Chendong's situation, both Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang nodded in agreement.

"Well. Since we can't fight, and we can't fight, then the only way is peace talks. That's not as good as this. Emperor Daizong shouldn't say that he is too emperor. This will definitely not work." Yang Chendong was very impressed with the cooperation between the two. Satisfied, this saves him a lot of talking.

"That's right, Master Hou is wise." Cao Jixiang heard Yang Chendong's intention towards Zhu Qizhen from these words, so he quickly said yes.This made Jin Ying on the side a little unhappy.What's wrong?Just promoted you to be a loyal and courageous prince, did you not speak to Daizong at all?

But before Jin Ying could raise a different opinion, Yang Chendong looked at him and said, "It is impossible for Daizong to abdicate to Emperor Yingzong who lost to the enemy in a big battlefield, right?"

Yang Chendong said that Yingzong was the defeated emperor, which made Jin Ying very happy, and immediately agreed, "It is extremely, it is extremely, or Lord Hou has sharp eyes and can see everything."

"Hehe." For this unsophisticated flattery, Yang Chendong just smiled and didn't take it seriously, but continued: "Then the matter is already very clear, everyone has their own reasons, and they are all emperors. The Ninth Five-Year Master status, I am afraid that relying on only one capital will not be able to meet the needs of the two, why not look out, why do you have to stick to one place? The Ming Dynasty does not only have one big city capital."

"Ah! I don't know what Lord Hou means?" Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand what Yang Chendong meant.

"Hehe, it's not what I mean. You two asked me for advice, so I had no choice but to come up with an idea. Of course, this idea may not be very good. If the two father-in-laws think it's inappropriate, you can be my lord." I didn’t say it.” Yang Chendong laughed, with an indifferent look on his mouth.In fact, this result was already in his expectation, and he even made preparations for it when Yingzong set out to fight.

Yang Chendong came up with an idea immediately, and he didn't want to take the blame.Jin Ying and Cao Jixiang are both good people, how could they not understand the meaning of these words?Immediately, the two nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, we are the ones asking Lord Hou for advice, and all matters and results have nothing to do with you."

"Very good, that's it, I just want to say something more. Since the capital can only have one emperor, why can't Yingzong give up here? For example, to accompany the capital Nanjing, where the climate is pleasant, and it is not worse than the capital in terms of prosperity. Originally There are other palaces and palaces, and it is really a place where dragons are ready." Under the watchful eyes of the two, Yang Chendong finally revealed the ultimate goal of his plan, which was to divide one Great Ming into two.

"Go to Nanjing?" Cao Jixiang stared wide-eyed, as if this result was completely beyond his expectation, and it was something he had never thought of before.

Not only Cao Jixiang, but also Jin Ying was silent at this moment.The same result was somewhat beyond his expectation.Originally thought that as long as Yang Chendong was recruited, he would know the whereabouts of Yingzong, and then send a large army to "take" him back to Beijing and place him under house arrest as the Supreme Emperor.But now it seems that Yang Chendong will not betray Yingzong.Not only that, but he also has the idea of ​​continuing to let Yingzong be the emperor. Fortunately, he is not allowed to return to the capital, which can be regarded as speaking to Daizong.

The method Yang Chendong proposed, as to whether they want to do it or not, it is not up to him to decide.But he believes that after weighing all the situations, his own idea will be the most perfect method.

Cao Jixiang was silent, he weighed the feasibility of this method in his heart.

Daizong proclaimed himself emperor in the capital, and now he is in great power. If Yingzong came back at this time, there is a high possibility that he would be caught, and then he would be put under house arrest under the name of the Supreme Emperor until he died.

If this is the case, one can imagine what will happen to a person who has taken refuge in Yingzong.Even if you are so uncertain, it is better to go to Nanjing and proclaim yourself emperor.With Yingzong being the emperor for so many years, it should be possible to accumulate a strong force soon. At that time, there is a choice between continuing to occupy Nanjing, the companion capital, or returning to the capital.

Thinking about it this way, Yang Chendong's idea cannot be said to be wrong.

On the other side, Jin Ying was also considering Yang Chendong's proposal.

It is true that Daizong is now the emperor, and it is also true that he controls the capital.But after all, it was not so legitimate when he was in power, and the time in power was so short, who knew what the important officials in the capital thought.If they turned to support Yingzong, wouldn't it mean that the status of Daizong would not be guaranteed? If so, what role did they play and where would they go?

Having said that, even if Daizong wins, he must be scarred and even severely injured. What strength is there to fight against the Oirat army?If it is finally defeated by a foreign race, it will not end well.It would be better to let Yingzong proclaim himself emperor in Nanjing. As long as he develops well at that time, he will not worry about the day when the country will not be reunified.Daizong also had a longer time to prepare everything, and he could follow suit to gain more benefits from it.

The two have different ideas, but the final decision is the same.

"Okay, I agree. I will try my best to persuade Yingzong, but there are still some conditions. For example, the family members of important ministers such as Kuang Ye are still in the capital, and you need to let them go. In addition, if other ministers voluntarily follow Yingzong, You must not stop them, everything depends on their own choice." Cao Jixiang made a temporary decision after some deep thinking.

The reason why it is said to be a temporary decision is that Cao Jixiang cannot represent Yingzong at all, he can only act as a lobbyist.

Jin Ying also made a decision, and considered Cao Jixiang's request to be reasonable, but said that he had to go back and ask Daizong Emperor Zhu Qiyu for instructions on specific matters before he could give a final result.

In front of Yang Chendong, the two exchanged views on some general issues, and did not discuss more details, because they both knew that if things were too detailed, the two sides would eventually send representatives to conduct more detailed consultations. Only then will there be results.Including the territory under the jurisdiction of the two emperors and so on.

Yang Chendong was only in charge of reconciling the two of them. As for whether it will be successful or not, and what other things need to be done after it is completed, he will definitely not intervene.To do this, there is already suspicion of exceeding his authority, he doesn't want to meddle in everything, and in the end he will be hated by others.

Although Jin Ying did not know the whereabouts of Yingzong from Yang Chendong, but he still kept Daizong's throne and returned with satisfaction.Cao Jixiang was left alone in the side hall. He could only do these things when he saw Yingzong.

"The Marquis will arrange someone to lead you to find Yingzong, and you can handle the rest on your own. By the way, remember to take Queen Qian with you when you leave. She will cooperate with you to do some things. "Looking at Cao Jixiang who had a longing look on his face, Yang Chendong got up and left the side hall after dropping these words.He's done, he can finally rest for a few days.

Of course, some people may ask, why did Yang Chendong, who had already controlled Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in essence, give up such a good opportunity to coerce the emperor to Cao Jixiang?

This is exactly the cleverness of Yang Chendong.

Mingzong came to power, and Yingzong was naturally weak. Coupled with Yang Chendong's balancing role in the middle, it can be seen that it will be very difficult for anyone who wants to own the Ming Dynasty alone in the future.

Now that Yingzong is no longer the one and only emperor who promises everything, why does Yang Chendong want to hold him in his hands and become the target of public criticism?With an emperor by his side, asking for instructions from time to time, and even kneeling down, how can there be such joy and comfort as being an independent third party now?
