[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much
Chapter 76
Li Dongyang came to Jiao Shizhi for a reason.
Jiao Shizhi was also aware of it, but he didn't know what the reason was.
Facing Mr. Liu Ge's vague inquiries, Jiao Shizhi just listened with a smile on his face, without revealing anything.
Li Dongyang also seemed to know that he was not popular, looked at Jiao Shizhi and chuckled twice, took a sip of the tea made by Jiao Shizhi, the sweet taste made people feel warm and comfortable from his chest , as if soaked in warm warm water, very comfortable.
Even at the end of August, the breath of the autumn tiger rushes towards us, and the sun is burning hot, which makes people feel irritable.On the mighty river, the ships of the enemy and us formed a confrontational momentum, and you came and went to test each other, but the winner was not determined.This impetuous mood also seeps into every corner, but here in Jiao Shizhi, everything seems to be non-existent.
Anxiety, fear, worry, tension...these looming problems are not seen in this room at all.
The young man on the opposite side was only 20 years old. He responded gently to his vague spies, followed Emperor Zhengde to clean up the mess, and acted as a bridge between the bad-tempered emperor and the bad-tempered ministers again and again.As a courtier and a young man, Jiao Shizhi did well enough.
Li Dongyang thought so.
He was a little distracted looking at the tea in the cup in his hand, but people are always dissatisfied, Li Dongyang thought again.
He remembered what they had thought about the young emperor who was enthroned.Liu Jian's words are still in my ears, "The first emperor entrusted the emperor to me, but I feel that maybe we may not be able to do it." It was a year after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, and the courtiers were dissatisfied with every decree of the emperor However, the emperor hated every word of their advice, and every court meeting was a torment, and they were almost at odds with each other.
When was this situation broken?
It seems that Jiao Shizhi is still there. If he hadn't taken down Liu Jian first, there wouldn't be so many futures.Li Dongyang remembered that at that time, Liu Jian and Liu Shoufu had vaguely thought of resigning, not only Liu Ge, but also Xie Qian and him.
Whether it is irresponsible or powerless, facing the emperor who is like a violent cub, they are indeed in danger of being defeated.
Emperor Zhengde was irritable and casual, wishing to get rid of all the rules and regulations. He seemed to be incapable of listening to others' words by nature, and he was as loose as a cloud in the sky. return.
——There is a fish in Dark North, and its name is Kun.Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng.Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming.Nanmingzhe, Tianchi also.
What Li Dongyang never expected was that now, he indeed saw the emperor with the roc spreading its wings, but it was not his flying figure, but his soaring heroic posture.
He... seems to have matured and transformed into a different look.No, Li Dongyang shook his head slowly in his heart, the emperor is still the emperor, but he is not just the emperor anymore.
He looked at the puzzled look of the young man opposite him, it was worried that he had not spoken for a long time, he was absorbed in his own thoughts for too long, and he was silent for too long.
In the end, Jiao Shizhi only heard Li Dongyang's second question after being quiet for a long time, "Let him, guard the emperor well."
This is also the last sentence he said to Jiao Shizhi in this conversation.
After sending Li Dongyang away, Jiao Shizhi returned to his position, clasped his hands involuntarily, and secretly felt uneasy in his heart in the fading daylight.It was a very slight, but very obvious feeling of presence.
Jiao Shizhi felt that Mr. Li Ge seemed to have discovered something.
It's not the usual secrets, nor is it a joke that the emperor occasionally teases.It was the last thing he wanted to be discovered, and the last thing he wanted to see.
This time Li Dongyang gave him a very different feeling, it didn't seem like he came to him for some important matter, nor did he come to him for the conflict with the emperor, nor did he come to start that specious sentence.
Have no purpose.
After these four words flashed in Jiao Shizhi's mind, he clenched his hands subconsciously, as if he had been hit hard, and he was very dizzy.My heart also shrank, feeling a dull pain.If that's the case, if it's really what Jiao Shizhi thought, then he really... loosened his clenched hands, Jiao Shizhi covered his face, and began to think about what to do if he was really found out?
The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was relatively open, and it also showed a certain degree of recognition for the emotional relationship between the two men. However, this recognition did not mean that they could gain respect in any sense.In fact, those of higher status are often seen as the idle party, while those of lower status are responsible for the infamy.Jiao Shizhi knew too many things like this, whether he knew it passively or actively.
Just thinking of the exposed picture is enough to make Jiao Shi suffocate.
It's not that his feelings for Zhu Houzhao have changed. As time went by, compared to the previous few years, Jiao Shizhi desperately found that his secret feelings for the emperor were much more than he should have had in the first place. It was a shameful fact that it was almost overflowing, but Jiao Shizhi couldn't deny it.
Denying one's own emotions is like denying his existence, Jiao Shizhi is not so irrational.
However, being exposed, and being with Emperor Zhengde, is still something that is not allowed...not allowed by Jiao Shizhi himself.There are too many bad cases before, and this is also the disadvantage of being a well-informed Jin Yiwei, sometimes you don't have the right to pretend to be stupid.
The last ray of light was swallowed by the night, and the entire land was plunged into darkness. The stars in the sky were as bright as before, and the night was like water, finally bringing the breath of autumn.
Zhu Hou looked at the darkness of Jiao Shizhi's room, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
There was a figure sitting in the middle of the table in the room, with Zhu Houzhao's most familiar arc, he walked into the room a few steps, did not light up the lamp, and did not look for candles, just sat casually beside Jiao Shizhi, and quietly faced the man in the dark. eyes.
Jiao Shizhi said softly: "Why is the emperor here?" During this period of intense fighting, Zhu Houzhao was often discussing affairs and discussing countermeasures, and Jiao Shizhi hadn't seen him for most of the time today.
Zhu Houzhao grumbled, "I was kicked out."
Jiao Shizhi couldn't help smiling, and he said softly, "How is that possible, you are the emperor."
"So what about the emperor? I can't force these generals to listen to me. In their eyes, I'm just a little emperor who has been on the throne for a few years. It's good if I can do a good job in political affairs. I definitely don't understand anything about war... There are too many such thoughts." Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and gestured a few words, but his voice was not as excited as the words.
Jiao Shizhi said: "Even if they don't want to listen to the emperor now, they will eventually obey the emperor's orders. I believe you."
Zhu Houzhao chuckled, "Shizhi can't trust me blindly. If one day I let you down, then I don't know what to do." The half-truth and half-false tone outlined the playful tone, making Jiao Shi The mood eased a lot.
The general army and the governor of Fujian did not dare to fully obey the emperor's ideas. In their eyes, Emperor Zhengde was just a little guy. Maybe he had some novel ideas, but fighting on the battlefield is no trick, and he didn't sleep at all. Can play around.In this case, even if Zhu Houzhao is in the barracks now, his words are not completely effective.
Especially since Emperor Zhengde didn't achieve any deeds on the battlefield that are familiar to ordinary soldiers. Without a name and authority, it is difficult to play in the army.For example, the current emperor.
Jiao Shizhi is aware of the tricks in the army. Gong Shi has told her about these tricks. When she was young, she dreamed of going into battle to kill the enemy, but she also memorized them all.Sergeants are very straightforward people, if they have the ability, they will be able to subdue you obediently.
What the emperor lacks is just an opportunity.
Jiao Shizhi thought so, and he also told Emperor Zhengde that way.When Zhu Houzhao heard Jiao Shizhi's words, he couldn't help but smile. Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see him in the dark, he was still very happy.
However, no amount of joy can stop Jiao Shizhi from feeling wrong.Zhu Houzhao just gave him considerately for a while, and only then asked: "What happened? Did anyone come to see you just now? It was Li Dongyang?" After three consecutive questions, Emperor Zhengde had already guessed the candidate. up.
Jiao Shizhi laughed unnaturally, the voice seemed to come out of his throat, "The emperor is still so perceptive." Obviously admitted.
"Then what did my elder Li Ge say to make you so lost?" Zhu Houzhao asked with raised eyebrows in the dark, sitting quietly in the dark is not Jiao Shizhi's style.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head and calmed down his emotions, "Mr. Li Ge didn't say anything." Li Dongyang did not say anything that shouldn't be said. Everything was Jiao Shizhi's own guess, and the blame was on other people. Not a good idea.
He stood up, found the candle in the place he remembered, lit it and put one at hand, and then walked to the emperor with another one, then sat down, and his tone returned to normal, "Your Majesty, what am I?" Nothing happened, I was just thinking about recent things, you know, we are now trapped in Fujian, and communication with the outside world has become difficult, I was just thinking about what would become a breakthrough.”
"So that's the case." Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Shizhi while talking, but Jiao Shizhi knew that he didn't fully believe what he said, and was obviously half-believing.
"If Zhu Chenhao still has brains, he shouldn't have been in a stalemate with the imperial army in Zhejiang for too long. It's true that his soldiers are all good, but if he waits for a while, the imperial court can mobilize more troops. By then It's hard to say who is in control of the situation." Zhu Houzhao said.
"However, the situation in Fujian is not very good now. You released the news of the epidemic, but King Ning doesn't seem to have much movement." Jiao Shizhi frowned, looking worried.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "There will definitely not be such a quick reaction. It takes time to judge whether a piece of news is true or not. I just want to bet to see if there is anyone around him. His intention of treason has been in ambush for so long , I admire him too." He shook his head as he spoke, seeming to agree with himself.
Jiao Shizhi couldn't help smiling when he saw the emperor's flamboyant appearance, so confident and beautiful.
……
The epidemic in Fujian began to gradually expand. At the beginning, it was just news from Fuzhou, but later it developed to the extent that some people in the Fujian Navy began to do so.The news was suppressed at the beginning, but later on there was no need to suppress it, after all, the number of people was slightly larger.
The military doctors were so busy that their hair was about to fall out, and a steady stream of soldiers were still sent to them. The Fujian General Soldier had to transfer a lot of doctors from outside. You must know that Fuzhou can't even find an ordinary doctor. I am seeing a doctor.
It's just worse.
The enemy was so turbulent, and King Ning naturally received the news. At the beginning, no one, whether it was the counselors or King Ning himself, believed that this matter was true, until the water army was in turmoil later.
They monitored the opposite side day and night, and they could feel the reduction of those rotation personnel.Although not much, it is a big victory compared to before.
When they started to believe it, something big happened.
Emperor Zhengde fell into the water!
This incident happened in another battle, there were too many people coming and going, no one could clearly see how the emperor fell into the water.It was just a matter of an instant.
In fact, after this incident happened, Jiao Shizhi jumped into the water to save the person immediately. After saving the person, both parties quickly lost news of Emperor Zhengde.
Messages are blocked.
After learning about this, King Ning's exquisite eyebrows showed a slight smile, but in the next moment, they revealed darkness and a little gloomy.
He hasn't found Qingrong yet, whether it's on the battlefield or the spies lurking there.There is no news about him at all, if he makes a mistake...
King Ning grabbed the collar of his chest as if he was having asthma, and the next moment he grabbed the carving on his waist.
No, no.
At the same time, the Fujian navy on the opposite side began to spread a message secretly. This is not a good thing, and it has also been faintly attacked by the upper level, but it is still passed on layer by layer, and even the morale of the army began to shake.
Emperor Zhengde is in danger.
This is not good news. I don't even know where it came from, but it quickly took root in everyone's hearts and caused many consequences.There was only one imperial doctor accompanying him, and a few doctors who were sent over temporarily, they gathered around the sick bed of Emperor Zhengde day and night, everything happened so suddenly and nervously.
However, three days later, Zhu Houzhao appeared on the bow of the ship in another attack, which suddenly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and then knocked down half of King Ning's arm in one go.Things seemed to improve all of a sudden, and the emperor regained his health.But this was just an illusion. After waking up, Zhu Houzhao asked the imperial doctor to let him get out of bed, at least he had to regroup to calm everything down temporarily.
Therefore, the imperial doctor prescribed heavy medicine, and Emperor Zhengde was able to stand up. However, the appearance time of only a quarter of an hour was enough to make the emperor fall into a coma again, and he never woke up again.Compared with the previous incident, this news was finally really blocked, and no one of the soldiers who were in the joy of winning the battle knew about it.
Jiao Shizhi's eye circles were black, and when no one knew about it, his expression became tired, and occasionally he would lean against the wall and fall asleep, which was something he had never seen before.
So even though only a few core people know about this matter, those subordinates who are guarding nearby, those who serve are all clear in their hearts, and their expressions are often terrified.
The imperial doctor studied it all night and night, and finally came up with not very good news. For some reason, Emperor Zhengde's typhoid fever finally turned into an epidemic consistent with that in Fuzhou City.
Epidemics are usually very contagious, but this time the Fuzhou City Epidemic was difficult to deal with, but the fatality rate was not very high, but it was too contagious and recovered very slowly, so many people fell down.
However, apart from this incident, the cold air caused by falling into the body caused the emperor to have a fever all night, and the temperature could not be lowered. He quickly spit out the medicine that was poured down, and finally Jiao Shizhi took a sip with a spoon. Stuffing it in one gulp, at the same time half hugging him to comfort Emperor Zhengde's back, so that he could swallow most of it in his dream, but he still ate a lot.Whether it works or not is a matter of opinion.
Under such circumstances, the Fujian General Soldier did not dare to be careless. While ordering people to step up surveillance on King Ning, on the other hand, he continued to search for famous doctors in Fujian and nearby towns, hoping to stabilize Zhu Houzhao's body as soon as possible. Condition.
It was night, most of the tents were pitch black, and their masters were asleep.However, in the big tent in the middle, there was still a faint candlelight.The imperial doctor and those doctors avoided going to the tent next door to discuss after another diagnosis. Now the emperor is still in a coma, and Jiao Shizhi is guarding him day and night.
What happened to Jiao Shizhi was more than that. After the emperor fell into a coma, some things that only he and the emperor knew about fell on him, and only he could do it.During the day, he would discuss with the general army of Fujian, the governor, Li Dongyang and others. At the same time, he had to take into account the situation of the emperor, check the deployment of defenses again and again, and deal with some miscellaneous matters in the barracks. He was almost at his wits end.In the evening, he was guarding by Emperor Zhengde's bed. After a few days like this, he lost a lot of weight.
Leaning against the bed and looking at Emperor Zhengde, Jiao Shizhi, who hadn't fallen asleep for almost a few days, was enveloped by an uncontrollable drowsiness, and fell asleep with his head leaning against the bed after a long time.
The night is lonely, it seems that the weather is not good tonight, even the bright moon or stars in the sky that should be in the sky are mostly covered by invisible clouds, and it is almost impossible to see anything from the night.The wind started to blow at night, and many soldiers shrank their necks while patrolling. The autumn wind was cool, and it seemed to be getting a little cold.
Since Emperor Zhengde was injured, he has been transferred from the ship in front to the camp at the rear. Because of this, the entire camp needs to be strengthened.However, there were a lot fewer people during this period, which led to the continuous strengthening of the soldiers' patrols. No matter how suppressed they were, there were still times when they would slack off.
It should not be called slack, but drowsiness when drowsy.
The footsteps gradually became lighter, and a figure had already crossed the multiple guards inside without anyone noticing.In fact, it was very simple for him, it was just taking the usual route again, without being guided or noticed.
When he crossed the last line of defense and arrived at the camp without a sound, he still had the last hurdle - Jiao Shizhi.No one could get close to Emperor Zhengde under Jiao Shizhi's nose, and it happened that Jiao Shizhi was a powerful enough master.Even a little movement caused by it will quickly attract the attention of others, not to mention that he does not allow the possibility of being discovered at all.
The man quietly put his whole body in the hidden place of the tent, quietly watching the last light in the tent go out.Time passed by little by little, and it seemed that it was the time when the night was really quiet. Wrapped next to the tent, he heard the sound of patrol guards and the sound of footsteps, and finally started to move again.
A small bamboo tube was poked into the small hole he had poked long ago, and a faint fragrance blew into the tent.Another quarter of an hour passed, the room was still silent, and he felt much more at ease.
He put all his things in his arms, and after another patrol passed by, he turned over and entered quietly, and saw the sleepy Jiao Shizhi in a familiar place.He was half leaning against the side of the couch, his brows were slightly frowned, and he just sat on the ground and fell asleep.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the eyes of the visitor, but they were all restrained quickly, and only the faint undulating person behind Jiao Shizhi could be seen in the dark eyes.
In the darkness where he could barely see his fingers, the man gently took out a dagger from his pocket and held it in his hand. The light in his eyes moved slightly, but his hand was very steady.
If it is not stable, it will not be the assassin.
The distance between him and the couch is shortening, three steps, two steps, one step...
"It seems that you haven't given up until now? Don't you think that this journey has been too smooth?" The teaser laughed, with Emperor Zhengde's usual appearance, laughing very recklessly.
The person on the couch got up safely, leaned against the side, and looked at the assassin who was startled by the sudden reaction in amazement. After all, this was the first time he really saw a real assassin, and he was still trying to seduce him. The person who showed up next time.
"Are you lying to me?" The hoarse voice came from the assassin's mouth, which seemed to be puzzled and shocked.
"It's not you who lied, but King Ning." Jiao Shizhi stood tall by the side of the couch, also not at all drowsy as he should be.With bright eyes, he quietly looked at someone who was supposed to be a subordinate.
"You already knew." The assassin's movements relaxed, not because he didn't want to escape, but because he could see clearly from the appearance of these two people in front of him. It's not him, but King Ning behind him.This made him break out in a cold sweat, with a sense of shock. "Impossible, those soldiers are all true... Could it be that you..."
His unfinished words dissipated in the air, yes, why did he forget that the emperor in front of him is indeed the kind of person who will use any means... If it wasn't for this, he was just so convinced that if he changed the emperor, he would definitely is better.
Jiao Shizhi laughed, "I'm afraid you are thinking now, the emperor is such a cold and gloomy person, what is there to follow... But you are wrong, those so-called soldiers were sick, it was indeed caused by drugs, but only the symptoms of illness , there is no real harm, and within three days it will heal without medicine, quickly put away the speculation in your heart!" When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold, cold and shivering.
The assassin stood still and did not speak, and after a long time threw all the things in his arms on the ground, which were useless to him, but with Jiao Shizhi's ability, he could quickly stop him when he committed suicide, and he also Stop doing such useless things.
"Kill me, I won't say anything." He said hoarsely.
"Liu Binsheng."
He held his breath, listening to Mr. Jiao read his name word by word, he closed his eyes, knelt down on one knee, "Yes."
Liu Binsheng...Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips tightly, with hidden anger and deep disappointment, of course he remembered this person, how could he not remember this person.
Among so many subordinates, Liu Binsheng was brought here all the time. From the time when he went to the high school to the current commander, he later brought Liu Binsheng to the Jinyiwei government office and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.In his heart, Liu Binsheng is not the most capable person, but he is also his extremely trusted subordinate.
However, he was the one who betrayed him!
Liu Binsheng took a heavy breath, and kowtowed hoarsely, "Lord Jiao, your humble position has failed your trust, and you deserve death for murdering the emperor. However, if you are loyal to the emperor, you should also understand the meaning of loyalty. If you risk your life, you should shed your blood for those who are loyal to you, there is no conflict here."
Jiao Shizhi's clenched fist was enveloped by another warm force, but it was Emperor Zhengde who held his hand from behind, and he said casually: "Don't compare your so-called loyalty with Shizhi, you can Not worthy."
"What are you, that fireflies dare to compete with the sun and the moon?!"
Emperor Zhengde stood up, mixed with secret anger for unknown reasons, walked to Liu Binsheng step by step, and kicked him on the shoulder, "Do you think your mixed allegiance can be compared with Shizhi, dreaming! You are completely It is for the desire in my heart, and comparing you with mine is to tarnish his reputation!"
He looked at Liu Binsheng who was kicked aside by him with disgust, and said in a low voice: "Come on, bring me the assassin, I want to know everything he knows!"
Someone quickly came in from outside the camp and dragged out Liu Binsheng, who was limp on the ground, and soon calm was restored in the camp.Zhu Houzhao was about to turn around and say something, but saw Jiao Shizhi knelt down on one knee, "I deserve death for my crimes!"
"What are you doing!" Emperor Zhengde said coldly, his eyes froze.
"If it wasn't for the negligence of the minister, such a mistake should never have occurred, putting the emperor in danger at all times. Liu Binsheng was promoted by the minister, and I ask the emperor to punish him." Jiao Shizhi said fearlessly.
The emperor's coldness was on the verge of breaking out, but he forcibly endured it when it touched Jiao Shizhi's eyebrows. He had never expected to see Jiao Shizhi like this.In three or two steps, he pulled the man up from the ground, and he said dissatisfiedly: "When you transferred people, I also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found in the end, shouldn't I bear joint and several responsibilities ?”
Jiao Shizhi said urgently: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the minister will be even more responsible if the Jin Yiwei is so weak."
Zhu Houzhao: ...
"I sent Dongchang to investigate!" Zhu Houzhao said with his hands on Jiao Shizhi's shoulders, staring into his eyes, and wished he could engrave these words into Jiao Shizhi's mind now.
"Kechen..."
"What kind of minister is not a minister, Jiao Shizhi, you have to know that I have endured until now because I am afraid that you will be sad, but you don't want to go further and hurt my heart by calling you distant!" Zhu Houzhao growled.
Jiao Shizhi remained silent, even his shoulders stiffened.
Emperor Zhengde had been observing Jiao Shizhi's face, and found that something seemed to flash across his face, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, but he could clearly know that the body of his subordinates was relaxing a little bit, compared to the tightness just now. Stretched, Jiao Shizhi seems to have returned to normal.
"I was in a bad mood just now, please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
In the darkness, the young man on the opposite side said in a low voice, with the appearance that should have been in the past.Emperor Zhengde's heart relaxed, and he pulled his hands into his arms, with a sense of relief that he didn't know.If Jiao Shizhi really felt that he could only hurt the emperor, he might never get close to Emperor Zhengde again.
Zhu Houzhao had always known how stubborn Jiao Shizhi was, but he didn't dare to let the matter develop like that, and blocked Jiao Shizhi's mouth with his mood before Jiao Shizhi could speak, so that he could no longer speak.
Being embraced by Emperor Zhengde, Jiao Shizhi was only quiet for a while, and then stretched out his hand to push his chest, "Your Majesty, I haven't made it clear what happened today, so don't act rashly."
"What are you afraid of? Although you don't bother to use Jin Yiwei's insidious means, the people in the Zhenfu Department like it very much. In their hands, what else can't be dug out?" Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly.
"Your majesty, didn't you realize that Liu Binsheng's previous identity was so clean that nothing could be found out. If so, how many people are hiding around you that you can't even detect." Jiao Shizhi said seriously.
Emperor Zhengde let go of him, turned over and lay on the bed, put his hands together on his stomach, and stared at the lines on the top that could not be seen clearly in the dark with his dark eyes, "It's too much to worry about, people who can be covered up by such means Not much, if it wasn't for Liu Binsheng's promotion, let alone a cover-up, Zhu Chenhao wouldn't even spend a single ounce of energy on him."
"A person like him can become the most difficult person to pry open by relying on his so-called ideals and beliefs. But as long as his beliefs are broken, he will be nothing."
This is the difference between Jiao Shizhi and Emperor Zhengde when thinking.
They really set up a complete trap this time. What happened in Fuzhou is far away from the battlefield, and even if there are people from King Ning in Fuzhou, it is blocked now, no matter who the news is Impossible to be passed in.As the most important link in acting, of course it is impossible to let it go wrong.
Even if King Ning just didn't believe it when he received such news at first, Zhu Houzhao would lead him in step by step.There are some things that cannot be freed from their influence without unbelief.He was willing to play such a big game of chess, so naturally he had his intentions.
You must know that it took him a lot of time to settle the governor of Fujian and the general army of Fujian. If it didn't work, wouldn't it be slapping him in the face?Originally, Jiao Shizhi disagreed with this matter, and taking the emperor's safety as a fact is beyond Jiao Shizhi's bottom line. If Jiao Shizhi hadn't been asking, Zhu Houzhao would never have placed so many people secretly this time. For fear of scaring people away.
Jiao Shizhi sighed softly, "Your Majesty, since this move has been successful, what do you plan to do next?"
"How? Naturally, let the news of the emperor's assassination be released." Zhu Houzhao blinked mischievously and said with a smile.
At the beginning of September in the fifth year of Zhengde, when it was suddenly heard that the emperor was assassinated, no matter which side it was, they were shocked and watched from the sidelines.However, there was no definite news about the vague movement, it was as unbearable as a scratch in the boots, but there was absolutely no way to do it.
The barracks has been completely sealed off since a few days ago, and no one can know the news about it.
A few days later, another news came out that the news of the emperor's assassination was false, but he was slightly injured, and other things were fine.Such false and powerless words, this time the "slightly injured" Emperor Zhengde didn't even have the ability to come forward, which immediately made people suspicious.
In the mid-September of Zhengde, the army of the imperial court who was at a stalemate with King Ning in Zhejiang vaguely felt that something was wrong. Under a certain strong suppression, it was discovered that the so-called camp had long been an empty shell.Most of the troops had already disappeared, which made the court feel uneasy. Their news was not as sensitive as that of King Ning, especially when Emperor Zhengde deliberately concealed it. It was so frightening that people were chasing after him at a high speed.
However, King Ning's army still made a move first, and soon joined forces with the original army in Fujian.
At this time, King Ning still had 12 troops.
Jiao Shizhi was also aware of it, but he didn't know what the reason was.
Facing Mr. Liu Ge's vague inquiries, Jiao Shizhi just listened with a smile on his face, without revealing anything.
Li Dongyang also seemed to know that he was not popular, looked at Jiao Shizhi and chuckled twice, took a sip of the tea made by Jiao Shizhi, the sweet taste made people feel warm and comfortable from his chest , as if soaked in warm warm water, very comfortable.
Even at the end of August, the breath of the autumn tiger rushes towards us, and the sun is burning hot, which makes people feel irritable.On the mighty river, the ships of the enemy and us formed a confrontational momentum, and you came and went to test each other, but the winner was not determined.This impetuous mood also seeps into every corner, but here in Jiao Shizhi, everything seems to be non-existent.
Anxiety, fear, worry, tension...these looming problems are not seen in this room at all.
The young man on the opposite side was only 20 years old. He responded gently to his vague spies, followed Emperor Zhengde to clean up the mess, and acted as a bridge between the bad-tempered emperor and the bad-tempered ministers again and again.As a courtier and a young man, Jiao Shizhi did well enough.
Li Dongyang thought so.
He was a little distracted looking at the tea in the cup in his hand, but people are always dissatisfied, Li Dongyang thought again.
He remembered what they had thought about the young emperor who was enthroned.Liu Jian's words are still in my ears, "The first emperor entrusted the emperor to me, but I feel that maybe we may not be able to do it." It was a year after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, and the courtiers were dissatisfied with every decree of the emperor However, the emperor hated every word of their advice, and every court meeting was a torment, and they were almost at odds with each other.
When was this situation broken?
It seems that Jiao Shizhi is still there. If he hadn't taken down Liu Jian first, there wouldn't be so many futures.Li Dongyang remembered that at that time, Liu Jian and Liu Shoufu had vaguely thought of resigning, not only Liu Ge, but also Xie Qian and him.
Whether it is irresponsible or powerless, facing the emperor who is like a violent cub, they are indeed in danger of being defeated.
Emperor Zhengde was irritable and casual, wishing to get rid of all the rules and regulations. He seemed to be incapable of listening to others' words by nature, and he was as loose as a cloud in the sky. return.
——There is a fish in Dark North, and its name is Kun.Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng.Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles away it is; it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to Nanming.Nanmingzhe, Tianchi also.
What Li Dongyang never expected was that now, he indeed saw the emperor with the roc spreading its wings, but it was not his flying figure, but his soaring heroic posture.
He... seems to have matured and transformed into a different look.No, Li Dongyang shook his head slowly in his heart, the emperor is still the emperor, but he is not just the emperor anymore.
He looked at the puzzled look of the young man opposite him, it was worried that he had not spoken for a long time, he was absorbed in his own thoughts for too long, and he was silent for too long.
In the end, Jiao Shizhi only heard Li Dongyang's second question after being quiet for a long time, "Let him, guard the emperor well."
This is also the last sentence he said to Jiao Shizhi in this conversation.
After sending Li Dongyang away, Jiao Shizhi returned to his position, clasped his hands involuntarily, and secretly felt uneasy in his heart in the fading daylight.It was a very slight, but very obvious feeling of presence.
Jiao Shizhi felt that Mr. Li Ge seemed to have discovered something.
It's not the usual secrets, nor is it a joke that the emperor occasionally teases.It was the last thing he wanted to be discovered, and the last thing he wanted to see.
This time Li Dongyang gave him a very different feeling, it didn't seem like he came to him for some important matter, nor did he come to him for the conflict with the emperor, nor did he come to start that specious sentence.
Have no purpose.
After these four words flashed in Jiao Shizhi's mind, he clenched his hands subconsciously, as if he had been hit hard, and he was very dizzy.My heart also shrank, feeling a dull pain.If that's the case, if it's really what Jiao Shizhi thought, then he really... loosened his clenched hands, Jiao Shizhi covered his face, and began to think about what to do if he was really found out?
The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was relatively open, and it also showed a certain degree of recognition for the emotional relationship between the two men. However, this recognition did not mean that they could gain respect in any sense.In fact, those of higher status are often seen as the idle party, while those of lower status are responsible for the infamy.Jiao Shizhi knew too many things like this, whether he knew it passively or actively.
Just thinking of the exposed picture is enough to make Jiao Shi suffocate.
It's not that his feelings for Zhu Houzhao have changed. As time went by, compared to the previous few years, Jiao Shizhi desperately found that his secret feelings for the emperor were much more than he should have had in the first place. It was a shameful fact that it was almost overflowing, but Jiao Shizhi couldn't deny it.
Denying one's own emotions is like denying his existence, Jiao Shizhi is not so irrational.
However, being exposed, and being with Emperor Zhengde, is still something that is not allowed...not allowed by Jiao Shizhi himself.There are too many bad cases before, and this is also the disadvantage of being a well-informed Jin Yiwei, sometimes you don't have the right to pretend to be stupid.
The last ray of light was swallowed by the night, and the entire land was plunged into darkness. The stars in the sky were as bright as before, and the night was like water, finally bringing the breath of autumn.
Zhu Hou looked at the darkness of Jiao Shizhi's room, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
There was a figure sitting in the middle of the table in the room, with Zhu Houzhao's most familiar arc, he walked into the room a few steps, did not light up the lamp, and did not look for candles, just sat casually beside Jiao Shizhi, and quietly faced the man in the dark. eyes.
Jiao Shizhi said softly: "Why is the emperor here?" During this period of intense fighting, Zhu Houzhao was often discussing affairs and discussing countermeasures, and Jiao Shizhi hadn't seen him for most of the time today.
Zhu Houzhao grumbled, "I was kicked out."
Jiao Shizhi couldn't help smiling, and he said softly, "How is that possible, you are the emperor."
"So what about the emperor? I can't force these generals to listen to me. In their eyes, I'm just a little emperor who has been on the throne for a few years. It's good if I can do a good job in political affairs. I definitely don't understand anything about war... There are too many such thoughts." Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and gestured a few words, but his voice was not as excited as the words.
Jiao Shizhi said: "Even if they don't want to listen to the emperor now, they will eventually obey the emperor's orders. I believe you."
Zhu Houzhao chuckled, "Shizhi can't trust me blindly. If one day I let you down, then I don't know what to do." The half-truth and half-false tone outlined the playful tone, making Jiao Shi The mood eased a lot.
The general army and the governor of Fujian did not dare to fully obey the emperor's ideas. In their eyes, Emperor Zhengde was just a little guy. Maybe he had some novel ideas, but fighting on the battlefield is no trick, and he didn't sleep at all. Can play around.In this case, even if Zhu Houzhao is in the barracks now, his words are not completely effective.
Especially since Emperor Zhengde didn't achieve any deeds on the battlefield that are familiar to ordinary soldiers. Without a name and authority, it is difficult to play in the army.For example, the current emperor.
Jiao Shizhi is aware of the tricks in the army. Gong Shi has told her about these tricks. When she was young, she dreamed of going into battle to kill the enemy, but she also memorized them all.Sergeants are very straightforward people, if they have the ability, they will be able to subdue you obediently.
What the emperor lacks is just an opportunity.
Jiao Shizhi thought so, and he also told Emperor Zhengde that way.When Zhu Houzhao heard Jiao Shizhi's words, he couldn't help but smile. Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see him in the dark, he was still very happy.
However, no amount of joy can stop Jiao Shizhi from feeling wrong.Zhu Houzhao just gave him considerately for a while, and only then asked: "What happened? Did anyone come to see you just now? It was Li Dongyang?" After three consecutive questions, Emperor Zhengde had already guessed the candidate. up.
Jiao Shizhi laughed unnaturally, the voice seemed to come out of his throat, "The emperor is still so perceptive." Obviously admitted.
"Then what did my elder Li Ge say to make you so lost?" Zhu Houzhao asked with raised eyebrows in the dark, sitting quietly in the dark is not Jiao Shizhi's style.
Jiao Shizhi shook his head and calmed down his emotions, "Mr. Li Ge didn't say anything." Li Dongyang did not say anything that shouldn't be said. Everything was Jiao Shizhi's own guess, and the blame was on other people. Not a good idea.
He stood up, found the candle in the place he remembered, lit it and put one at hand, and then walked to the emperor with another one, then sat down, and his tone returned to normal, "Your Majesty, what am I?" Nothing happened, I was just thinking about recent things, you know, we are now trapped in Fujian, and communication with the outside world has become difficult, I was just thinking about what would become a breakthrough.”
"So that's the case." Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Shizhi while talking, but Jiao Shizhi knew that he didn't fully believe what he said, and was obviously half-believing.
"If Zhu Chenhao still has brains, he shouldn't have been in a stalemate with the imperial army in Zhejiang for too long. It's true that his soldiers are all good, but if he waits for a while, the imperial court can mobilize more troops. By then It's hard to say who is in control of the situation." Zhu Houzhao said.
"However, the situation in Fujian is not very good now. You released the news of the epidemic, but King Ning doesn't seem to have much movement." Jiao Shizhi frowned, looking worried.
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "There will definitely not be such a quick reaction. It takes time to judge whether a piece of news is true or not. I just want to bet to see if there is anyone around him. His intention of treason has been in ambush for so long , I admire him too." He shook his head as he spoke, seeming to agree with himself.
Jiao Shizhi couldn't help smiling when he saw the emperor's flamboyant appearance, so confident and beautiful.
……
The epidemic in Fujian began to gradually expand. At the beginning, it was just news from Fuzhou, but later it developed to the extent that some people in the Fujian Navy began to do so.The news was suppressed at the beginning, but later on there was no need to suppress it, after all, the number of people was slightly larger.
The military doctors were so busy that their hair was about to fall out, and a steady stream of soldiers were still sent to them. The Fujian General Soldier had to transfer a lot of doctors from outside. You must know that Fuzhou can't even find an ordinary doctor. I am seeing a doctor.
It's just worse.
The enemy was so turbulent, and King Ning naturally received the news. At the beginning, no one, whether it was the counselors or King Ning himself, believed that this matter was true, until the water army was in turmoil later.
They monitored the opposite side day and night, and they could feel the reduction of those rotation personnel.Although not much, it is a big victory compared to before.
When they started to believe it, something big happened.
Emperor Zhengde fell into the water!
This incident happened in another battle, there were too many people coming and going, no one could clearly see how the emperor fell into the water.It was just a matter of an instant.
In fact, after this incident happened, Jiao Shizhi jumped into the water to save the person immediately. After saving the person, both parties quickly lost news of Emperor Zhengde.
Messages are blocked.
After learning about this, King Ning's exquisite eyebrows showed a slight smile, but in the next moment, they revealed darkness and a little gloomy.
He hasn't found Qingrong yet, whether it's on the battlefield or the spies lurking there.There is no news about him at all, if he makes a mistake...
King Ning grabbed the collar of his chest as if he was having asthma, and the next moment he grabbed the carving on his waist.
No, no.
At the same time, the Fujian navy on the opposite side began to spread a message secretly. This is not a good thing, and it has also been faintly attacked by the upper level, but it is still passed on layer by layer, and even the morale of the army began to shake.
Emperor Zhengde is in danger.
This is not good news. I don't even know where it came from, but it quickly took root in everyone's hearts and caused many consequences.There was only one imperial doctor accompanying him, and a few doctors who were sent over temporarily, they gathered around the sick bed of Emperor Zhengde day and night, everything happened so suddenly and nervously.
However, three days later, Zhu Houzhao appeared on the bow of the ship in another attack, which suddenly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and then knocked down half of King Ning's arm in one go.Things seemed to improve all of a sudden, and the emperor regained his health.But this was just an illusion. After waking up, Zhu Houzhao asked the imperial doctor to let him get out of bed, at least he had to regroup to calm everything down temporarily.
Therefore, the imperial doctor prescribed heavy medicine, and Emperor Zhengde was able to stand up. However, the appearance time of only a quarter of an hour was enough to make the emperor fall into a coma again, and he never woke up again.Compared with the previous incident, this news was finally really blocked, and no one of the soldiers who were in the joy of winning the battle knew about it.
Jiao Shizhi's eye circles were black, and when no one knew about it, his expression became tired, and occasionally he would lean against the wall and fall asleep, which was something he had never seen before.
So even though only a few core people know about this matter, those subordinates who are guarding nearby, those who serve are all clear in their hearts, and their expressions are often terrified.
The imperial doctor studied it all night and night, and finally came up with not very good news. For some reason, Emperor Zhengde's typhoid fever finally turned into an epidemic consistent with that in Fuzhou City.
Epidemics are usually very contagious, but this time the Fuzhou City Epidemic was difficult to deal with, but the fatality rate was not very high, but it was too contagious and recovered very slowly, so many people fell down.
However, apart from this incident, the cold air caused by falling into the body caused the emperor to have a fever all night, and the temperature could not be lowered. He quickly spit out the medicine that was poured down, and finally Jiao Shizhi took a sip with a spoon. Stuffing it in one gulp, at the same time half hugging him to comfort Emperor Zhengde's back, so that he could swallow most of it in his dream, but he still ate a lot.Whether it works or not is a matter of opinion.
Under such circumstances, the Fujian General Soldier did not dare to be careless. While ordering people to step up surveillance on King Ning, on the other hand, he continued to search for famous doctors in Fujian and nearby towns, hoping to stabilize Zhu Houzhao's body as soon as possible. Condition.
It was night, most of the tents were pitch black, and their masters were asleep.However, in the big tent in the middle, there was still a faint candlelight.The imperial doctor and those doctors avoided going to the tent next door to discuss after another diagnosis. Now the emperor is still in a coma, and Jiao Shizhi is guarding him day and night.
What happened to Jiao Shizhi was more than that. After the emperor fell into a coma, some things that only he and the emperor knew about fell on him, and only he could do it.During the day, he would discuss with the general army of Fujian, the governor, Li Dongyang and others. At the same time, he had to take into account the situation of the emperor, check the deployment of defenses again and again, and deal with some miscellaneous matters in the barracks. He was almost at his wits end.In the evening, he was guarding by Emperor Zhengde's bed. After a few days like this, he lost a lot of weight.
Leaning against the bed and looking at Emperor Zhengde, Jiao Shizhi, who hadn't fallen asleep for almost a few days, was enveloped by an uncontrollable drowsiness, and fell asleep with his head leaning against the bed after a long time.
The night is lonely, it seems that the weather is not good tonight, even the bright moon or stars in the sky that should be in the sky are mostly covered by invisible clouds, and it is almost impossible to see anything from the night.The wind started to blow at night, and many soldiers shrank their necks while patrolling. The autumn wind was cool, and it seemed to be getting a little cold.
Since Emperor Zhengde was injured, he has been transferred from the ship in front to the camp at the rear. Because of this, the entire camp needs to be strengthened.However, there were a lot fewer people during this period, which led to the continuous strengthening of the soldiers' patrols. No matter how suppressed they were, there were still times when they would slack off.
It should not be called slack, but drowsiness when drowsy.
The footsteps gradually became lighter, and a figure had already crossed the multiple guards inside without anyone noticing.In fact, it was very simple for him, it was just taking the usual route again, without being guided or noticed.
When he crossed the last line of defense and arrived at the camp without a sound, he still had the last hurdle - Jiao Shizhi.No one could get close to Emperor Zhengde under Jiao Shizhi's nose, and it happened that Jiao Shizhi was a powerful enough master.Even a little movement caused by it will quickly attract the attention of others, not to mention that he does not allow the possibility of being discovered at all.
The man quietly put his whole body in the hidden place of the tent, quietly watching the last light in the tent go out.Time passed by little by little, and it seemed that it was the time when the night was really quiet. Wrapped next to the tent, he heard the sound of patrol guards and the sound of footsteps, and finally started to move again.
A small bamboo tube was poked into the small hole he had poked long ago, and a faint fragrance blew into the tent.Another quarter of an hour passed, the room was still silent, and he felt much more at ease.
He put all his things in his arms, and after another patrol passed by, he turned over and entered quietly, and saw the sleepy Jiao Shizhi in a familiar place.He was half leaning against the side of the couch, his brows were slightly frowned, and he just sat on the ground and fell asleep.
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the eyes of the visitor, but they were all restrained quickly, and only the faint undulating person behind Jiao Shizhi could be seen in the dark eyes.
In the darkness where he could barely see his fingers, the man gently took out a dagger from his pocket and held it in his hand. The light in his eyes moved slightly, but his hand was very steady.
If it is not stable, it will not be the assassin.
The distance between him and the couch is shortening, three steps, two steps, one step...
"It seems that you haven't given up until now? Don't you think that this journey has been too smooth?" The teaser laughed, with Emperor Zhengde's usual appearance, laughing very recklessly.
The person on the couch got up safely, leaned against the side, and looked at the assassin who was startled by the sudden reaction in amazement. After all, this was the first time he really saw a real assassin, and he was still trying to seduce him. The person who showed up next time.
"Are you lying to me?" The hoarse voice came from the assassin's mouth, which seemed to be puzzled and shocked.
"It's not you who lied, but King Ning." Jiao Shizhi stood tall by the side of the couch, also not at all drowsy as he should be.With bright eyes, he quietly looked at someone who was supposed to be a subordinate.
"You already knew." The assassin's movements relaxed, not because he didn't want to escape, but because he could see clearly from the appearance of these two people in front of him. It's not him, but King Ning behind him.This made him break out in a cold sweat, with a sense of shock. "Impossible, those soldiers are all true... Could it be that you..."
His unfinished words dissipated in the air, yes, why did he forget that the emperor in front of him is indeed the kind of person who will use any means... If it wasn't for this, he was just so convinced that if he changed the emperor, he would definitely is better.
Jiao Shizhi laughed, "I'm afraid you are thinking now, the emperor is such a cold and gloomy person, what is there to follow... But you are wrong, those so-called soldiers were sick, it was indeed caused by drugs, but only the symptoms of illness , there is no real harm, and within three days it will heal without medicine, quickly put away the speculation in your heart!" When he said the last sentence, his voice suddenly turned cold, cold and shivering.
The assassin stood still and did not speak, and after a long time threw all the things in his arms on the ground, which were useless to him, but with Jiao Shizhi's ability, he could quickly stop him when he committed suicide, and he also Stop doing such useless things.
"Kill me, I won't say anything." He said hoarsely.
"Liu Binsheng."
He held his breath, listening to Mr. Jiao read his name word by word, he closed his eyes, knelt down on one knee, "Yes."
Liu Binsheng...Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips tightly, with hidden anger and deep disappointment, of course he remembered this person, how could he not remember this person.
Among so many subordinates, Liu Binsheng was brought here all the time. From the time when he went to the high school to the current commander, he later brought Liu Binsheng to the Jinyiwei government office and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.In his heart, Liu Binsheng is not the most capable person, but he is also his extremely trusted subordinate.
However, he was the one who betrayed him!
Liu Binsheng took a heavy breath, and kowtowed hoarsely, "Lord Jiao, your humble position has failed your trust, and you deserve death for murdering the emperor. However, if you are loyal to the emperor, you should also understand the meaning of loyalty. If you risk your life, you should shed your blood for those who are loyal to you, there is no conflict here."
Jiao Shizhi's clenched fist was enveloped by another warm force, but it was Emperor Zhengde who held his hand from behind, and he said casually: "Don't compare your so-called loyalty with Shizhi, you can Not worthy."
"What are you, that fireflies dare to compete with the sun and the moon?!"
Emperor Zhengde stood up, mixed with secret anger for unknown reasons, walked to Liu Binsheng step by step, and kicked him on the shoulder, "Do you think your mixed allegiance can be compared with Shizhi, dreaming! You are completely It is for the desire in my heart, and comparing you with mine is to tarnish his reputation!"
He looked at Liu Binsheng who was kicked aside by him with disgust, and said in a low voice: "Come on, bring me the assassin, I want to know everything he knows!"
Someone quickly came in from outside the camp and dragged out Liu Binsheng, who was limp on the ground, and soon calm was restored in the camp.Zhu Houzhao was about to turn around and say something, but saw Jiao Shizhi knelt down on one knee, "I deserve death for my crimes!"
"What are you doing!" Emperor Zhengde said coldly, his eyes froze.
"If it wasn't for the negligence of the minister, such a mistake should never have occurred, putting the emperor in danger at all times. Liu Binsheng was promoted by the minister, and I ask the emperor to punish him." Jiao Shizhi said fearlessly.
The emperor's coldness was on the verge of breaking out, but he forcibly endured it when it touched Jiao Shizhi's eyebrows. He had never expected to see Jiao Shizhi like this.In three or two steps, he pulled the man up from the ground, and he said dissatisfiedly: "When you transferred people, I also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found in the end, shouldn't I bear joint and several responsibilities ?”
Jiao Shizhi said urgently: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the minister will be even more responsible if the Jin Yiwei is so weak."
Zhu Houzhao: ...
"I sent Dongchang to investigate!" Zhu Houzhao said with his hands on Jiao Shizhi's shoulders, staring into his eyes, and wished he could engrave these words into Jiao Shizhi's mind now.
"Kechen..."
"What kind of minister is not a minister, Jiao Shizhi, you have to know that I have endured until now because I am afraid that you will be sad, but you don't want to go further and hurt my heart by calling you distant!" Zhu Houzhao growled.
Jiao Shizhi remained silent, even his shoulders stiffened.
Emperor Zhengde had been observing Jiao Shizhi's face, and found that something seemed to flash across his face, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, but he could clearly know that the body of his subordinates was relaxing a little bit, compared to the tightness just now. Stretched, Jiao Shizhi seems to have returned to normal.
"I was in a bad mood just now, please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
In the darkness, the young man on the opposite side said in a low voice, with the appearance that should have been in the past.Emperor Zhengde's heart relaxed, and he pulled his hands into his arms, with a sense of relief that he didn't know.If Jiao Shizhi really felt that he could only hurt the emperor, he might never get close to Emperor Zhengde again.
Zhu Houzhao had always known how stubborn Jiao Shizhi was, but he didn't dare to let the matter develop like that, and blocked Jiao Shizhi's mouth with his mood before Jiao Shizhi could speak, so that he could no longer speak.
Being embraced by Emperor Zhengde, Jiao Shizhi was only quiet for a while, and then stretched out his hand to push his chest, "Your Majesty, I haven't made it clear what happened today, so don't act rashly."
"What are you afraid of? Although you don't bother to use Jin Yiwei's insidious means, the people in the Zhenfu Department like it very much. In their hands, what else can't be dug out?" Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly.
"Your majesty, didn't you realize that Liu Binsheng's previous identity was so clean that nothing could be found out. If so, how many people are hiding around you that you can't even detect." Jiao Shizhi said seriously.
Emperor Zhengde let go of him, turned over and lay on the bed, put his hands together on his stomach, and stared at the lines on the top that could not be seen clearly in the dark with his dark eyes, "It's too much to worry about, people who can be covered up by such means Not much, if it wasn't for Liu Binsheng's promotion, let alone a cover-up, Zhu Chenhao wouldn't even spend a single ounce of energy on him."
"A person like him can become the most difficult person to pry open by relying on his so-called ideals and beliefs. But as long as his beliefs are broken, he will be nothing."
This is the difference between Jiao Shizhi and Emperor Zhengde when thinking.
They really set up a complete trap this time. What happened in Fuzhou is far away from the battlefield, and even if there are people from King Ning in Fuzhou, it is blocked now, no matter who the news is Impossible to be passed in.As the most important link in acting, of course it is impossible to let it go wrong.
Even if King Ning just didn't believe it when he received such news at first, Zhu Houzhao would lead him in step by step.There are some things that cannot be freed from their influence without unbelief.He was willing to play such a big game of chess, so naturally he had his intentions.
You must know that it took him a lot of time to settle the governor of Fujian and the general army of Fujian. If it didn't work, wouldn't it be slapping him in the face?Originally, Jiao Shizhi disagreed with this matter, and taking the emperor's safety as a fact is beyond Jiao Shizhi's bottom line. If Jiao Shizhi hadn't been asking, Zhu Houzhao would never have placed so many people secretly this time. For fear of scaring people away.
Jiao Shizhi sighed softly, "Your Majesty, since this move has been successful, what do you plan to do next?"
"How? Naturally, let the news of the emperor's assassination be released." Zhu Houzhao blinked mischievously and said with a smile.
At the beginning of September in the fifth year of Zhengde, when it was suddenly heard that the emperor was assassinated, no matter which side it was, they were shocked and watched from the sidelines.However, there was no definite news about the vague movement, it was as unbearable as a scratch in the boots, but there was absolutely no way to do it.
The barracks has been completely sealed off since a few days ago, and no one can know the news about it.
A few days later, another news came out that the news of the emperor's assassination was false, but he was slightly injured, and other things were fine.Such false and powerless words, this time the "slightly injured" Emperor Zhengde didn't even have the ability to come forward, which immediately made people suspicious.
In the mid-September of Zhengde, the army of the imperial court who was at a stalemate with King Ning in Zhejiang vaguely felt that something was wrong. Under a certain strong suppression, it was discovered that the so-called camp had long been an empty shell.Most of the troops had already disappeared, which made the court feel uneasy. Their news was not as sensitive as that of King Ning, especially when Emperor Zhengde deliberately concealed it. It was so frightening that people were chasing after him at a high speed.
However, King Ning's army still made a move first, and soon joined forces with the original army in Fujian.
At this time, King Ning still had 12 troops.
