Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The entire Shanhaiguan has become a self-sufficient inner circle, and it can be said that it has temporarily escaped from the environment of internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty. The corruption of the world, and even the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty, at least during this period of time, will not affect Shanhaiguan.

And the only foreign enemy, Houjinliao Town, can only look forward to the city and sigh, and almost pin most of its hopes on the Mongolian army that has arrived at the Zijing Pass.

Even though the attack has completely lost the frenzy and turbulence at the beginning, although the morale of the troops on both sides has declined, but with the advantage of occupying Shanhaiguan, the threat of Hou Jin's current attack has been reduced to the minimum.

Under such circumstances, Shanhaiguan, which seems to be in danger, has become the first existence to stabilize the situation under such circumstances.

Liao Zhen and Hou Jin were undoubtedly unwilling to face the stability of the situation, but no matter how unwilling to face it, Dai Shan and Yuan Chonghuan had to recognize this fact.

With Denglai's support, coupled with the large number of soldiers in Shanhaiguan, the possibility of them taking Shanhaiguan head-on has become infinitely infinite!

Hope can only be pinned on the Mongolian army that is currently under the Bauhinia Pass, but... there is another cruel reality that they have to face.

"Even if the Mongols conquered the Bauhinia Pass and overthrew the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Wuruo insisted on defending the Shanhai Pass..."

Under Shanhaiguan, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly exposed this cruel fact that both of them dared not face!

In the past, they always subconsciously put Duke Qin and Daming into one body. It seemed that when Daming was overthrown, Duke Qin was also overthrown.

However, until this time, when Mongolia knocked on the side, and the world shook, the Duke of Qin was still in Shaanxi as steadily as Mount Tai, step by step, without the slightest sign of returning to the capital, they suddenly discovered that although the Duke of Qin was one with Daming, he was very To a certain extent, it is Daming who relies on Qin Guogong, not Qin Guogong who relies on Daming!

Just like the current situation, even if Mongolia breaks the Bauhinia Pass, breaks through the capital, the Ming Dynasty is overthrown, and the world is in complete chaos, but all this... will it have any impact on him, Duke Qin?

It is nothing more than losing the right to assist the country in governing the country, and losing the title of the prominent Duke of Qin...

Will these affect Duke Qin's control over the armies that Duke Qin himself forged in various parts of Ming Dynasty?

Those confidant soldiers who were inserted into various parts of Ming Dynasty by the Qin State Public Security Bureau, just like this Shanhai Pass, and the Denglai Navy, will they not listen to the orders of the Duke of Qin because of the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty?Will it fall apart?

The answer seems to be very clear!

The overthrow of Daming that they have painstakingly planned seems to be helping the Duke of Qin to unload the burden of Daming's corruption!

Without the shackles of such a heavy burden, with his foundation as Duke of Qin, and the legal principles brought by his status as Duke of Qin...

It seems that all the current disadvantages will become his advantages for Qin Guogong.

Everything they have painstakingly planned seems to be making a wedding dress for Duke Qin!

This Shanhaiguan will still be like an insurmountable mountain, separating them from Houjinliao Town and the land of the Central Plains, and ruining their greatest hope of Houjinliao Town!

"Is the assassination strategy feasible?"

During this depression, Yuan Chonghuan spoke out again.

"It is said that Qin Guogong's martial arts has reached the peak in the world, and it is unpredictable. Ben Khan also sent many assassins, but most of them were dealt with without even seeing each other."

At this point, Daishan sighed and didn't say any more.

Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan didn't bother anymore, and changed the subject:

"Lin Danhan is still fighting in Mobei, and has no intention of sending troops at all. From this appearance, he should be ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"This old fox is not a son of man!"

Speaking of Lin Dan Khan, Daishan couldn't help but be furious. After taking so much money from him, he didn't keep his promise when he arrived!

But this anger came and went quickly. Dai Shan was silent for a while, and then said: "Ben Khan knows that old fox. He must be planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he may even take this opportunity to invade Monan. His great spring and autumn dream is to unify Mongolia!"

Yuan Chonghuan was very firm: "We can't let him unify Mongolia!"

"Now Monan Mongolia has tied up our chariot. Once Lin Dan Khan is allowed to unify Mongolia, our way out will be blocked again. At that time, we will not only rely on the breath of his Duke Qin, but also rely on his Lin Dan Khan. face!"

Dai Shan nodded, but in the end, he couldn't help but look at the Shanhaiguan in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Shanhaiguan will continue to fight!"

Looking at Daishan's unwilling appearance, Yuan Chonghuan did not persuade him. Everything, the ultimate source, is in this Shanhaiguan. As long as this Shanhaiguan is taken down, all problems will be solved. If you can't take it down, everything will be half the effort !Moreover, the road ahead is bleak!

3 Chapter [-] Safeguarding interests

"Duke Qin hasn't returned to his teacher yet?"

In the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhou was pale and lying on the bed, her weakness was evident in her words.

Wang Chengen bowed and replied: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Duke Qin has led his army to surround Zhang Xianzhong's bandits, and he must have calmed down Zhang Xianzhong by now, and led his army back to the division..."

"Shaanxi is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the news didn't come so quickly..."

"Have you ever heard of the rumors in the capital?"

Empress Dowager Zhou hesitated, but in the end, she couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's heart trembled, and in an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally fixed on the scene where the head of the country entered the palace a few days ago, that is, when the head of the country came out of the palace, the queen mother decreed that the country should be banned again After Zhang, he suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctor diagnosed him, he was out of breath, and became sick from worry!

He was still a little confused before, but now that the Queen Mother asks this question, how can he not understand that the head of the country who has done all kinds of bad things is dishonest again!

"It's not honest to be grounded!"

Wang Chengen also couldn't help cursing inwardly. At this moment, he didn't dare to be negligent. After a moment of silence, he said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Jin Yiwei has already found out that there are people with ulterior motives who are secretly spreading rumors, and Mr. Sun Ge is already investigating this matter thoroughly. , I think it won’t be long before there will be results.”

"The Ai family asked you, how credible is this matter!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager Zhou said this, Wang Chengen trembled all over, and quickly fell to his knees: "Mother, three people become tigers, and one word makes gold, you must not believe it!"

"Now the governors of the three sides are sitting in Zijing Pass in person, fighting fiercely with the Mongolian iron cavalry, Duke Qin has come to Shaanxi in person to quell the rebellion, everything is a loyalty to the country!"

"Your Majesty, don't believe rumors!"

Wang Chengen really panicked. Who wouldn't understand the current situation? Daming's mess is all supported by Qin Guogong. In this situation, if the Queen Mother still suspects Qin Gong, it will really destroy the foundation and destroy Daming. up!

Empress Dowager Zhou propped herself up, pulled the little emperor by her side, and said slowly: "The rumors are unbelievable, Aijia understands."

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother Zhou waved her hand: "Retire, I'm tired of mourning the family!"

Seeing this, Wang Chengen bowed deeply and then left the Qianqing Palace.

"Brother Chun, will Uncle Li protect you?"

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhou gently caressed the little emperor's cheek, with deep worry hidden in her eyes, as if asking the little emperor, but also asking herself.

"Uncle Li will protect me, mother, don't worry."

The little emperor swears.

After finishing speaking, the little emperor seemed to think of something, scratched his head, and looked up at the Queen Mother Zhou: "Uncle Li also said that when he returns from this expedition, he will bring me a gift!"

"Yes, your Uncle Li will bring gifts to Brother Chun..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou muttered to herself, but the words were much more relaxed.

The little emperor broke away from the Empress Dowager Zhou's hand, held his head up and said:

"Mother, I won't tell you anymore. I still have books to read today. Uncle Li said that when I come back, I will be assessed. If I fail, I won't give the gift to me!"

"Okay! Brother Chun, study hard..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou stroked the little emperor's head lightly, watching the little emperor trot away, the worry in her eyes also dissipated a lot.

……

The night is dark.

In Fengxiang Mansion City, the lights are still brightly lit, and there is still blood in the city. Teams of armored soldiers can be seen everywhere patrolling the city, and the sudden shouts of killing from time to time clearly prove that the city is not peaceful.

The center of the city, the former magistrate's office, is now the center of the army, and naturally, it is also the place where Li Xiu lives.

Eight hundred personal guards, almost the inner three floors, and the outer three floors guard the entire government office tightly.

With the evolution of the situation, assassinations are common. Although everyone in the army knows that Lord Qin is unparalleled in martial arts, but no one dares to relax his guard in the slightest.

After all, guarding is the most basic duty of a personal guard, and if it is not performed well, it will be a death penalty.

Under this heavy defensive martial law, in the government office study room, amidst the flickering candlelight, one can clearly see the reflected figure sitting behind the desk, working hard as usual.

At some point, when the last notebook was put down, Li Xiu stroked his forehead, let out a long breath, and slowly leaned back on the chair.

The always bright eyes, at this moment, also appear a little trance.

Plans never catch up with changes.

Things in the world will never be smooth, and everything is under control.

From the beginning of this reform, he had anticipated the backlash from all aspects, and even had certain countermeasures.

Whether Daming's internal or external troubles, although many of them are beyond control, most of them are still under control.

But until now, with the inspection of various guards in Shaanxi, he suddenly discovered that some things had changed secretly.

His foundation and the source of his power are all in bravery and honor.

To a certain extent, there is no difference between being brave and honorable, and Donglin and eunuchs.

They are all an interest group, but this interest group was created by Li Xiu. Under Li Xiu's leadership, this interest group also maintains the current mess in Daming.

However, since it is an interest group, there are naturally interest demands belonging to the interest group.

Obviously, the interest demands of this interest group that he created by himself are consistent with his Li Xiu's interest demands.

Expanding rights, excluding dissidents... etc., are all in line with Li Xiu's interests.

but……

If interests of interest groups are harmed...

Naturally, backlash appeared.

No matter how powerful Li Xiu is, he still can't control everyone's hearts.

Just like the current interest group that is bravely defending the nobles, he can command this interest group as easily as possible, but it does not mean that everyone in this interest group is a machine that only obeys orders and has no thoughts.

They also have seven emotions and six desires, their own thoughts, and their own interests.

What's more, warriors are rebellious and unruly, which has been the case since ancient times.

He, Li Xiu, wanted to be a loyal minister, wanted to be famous forever, and wanted to guard the mess of Daming, but it didn't mean that the generals under his command were willing to do so.

Daming's mess, to some extent, has already violated the interests of this interest group.

From Zhou Yuji, governor of the three sides, to the words and deeds of the generals on weekdays...

This sign has already appeared.

"call……"

As thoughts flowed, Li Xiu took a deep breath, and a rare helplessness appeared between his brows.

He has the confidence to solve Daming's internal and external troubles, but he really doesn't know how to start with this problem alone.

This interest group defends the interests of...

It is also protecting Li Xiu's interests...

……

Chapter 311 Famous for all ages!

"Eternal name!"

While the candlelight was flickering, Li Xiu sighed quietly.

The unity of knowledge and action, he understands the truth thoroughly, but if he really wants to do it...

He really can't do it.

Just like, he wants to be ashamed of his heart, but he can't completely stop his opponent's people's thoughts, at most, he can only suppress it.

But if he can suppress it for a while, can he suppress it forever?

Suddenly, Li Xiu couldn't help but think of the magnificent Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, that... Zhuge Wuhou, who was left alone by the White Emperor, dedicated himself to death, and Cao Cao, who aspired to become the general of the Han Dynasty. Everything, the assassination of Dong Zhuo was only for the great man, but in the end he embarked on the road of coercing the emperor to make the princes.

Two people with the same goal at first, but in the end, they embarked on two diametrically opposite paths.

"Da Ming... big man..."

Li Xiu turned around slowly, and picked up a volume of information on the capital sent by Jin Yiwei on the table.

The above description is naturally the turmoil in the capital.

The public opinion in the market is boiling.

He Qin Guogong ordered Mongolia to knock down the border, and stood still in Shaanxi, wanting to sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty fall...

"If the Ming Dynasty is to be overthrown, why should the governor be like this..."

Talking softly to himself, Li Xiu shook his head and smiled, turned around, and looked at the map of Daming hanging in the room.

The Shaanxi Rebellion is coming to an end, and the investigation of the Shaanxi guards has also begun.

Long before the start of the investigation, the mighty military and the addition of the phrase "don't blame the past", made the guards in Shaanxi to take the initiative to hand over the yellow books of military registration in each guard.
