Seiwa

During his short career as emperor, Zhu Yunqi made countless mistakes. He favored Confucianism and asked advice from nerds, so he can undoubtedly be ranked among the top three.

Being cheated once, it can be said that the emotional intelligence is not high.

Being tricked again and again means that there is a problem with IQ.

Emperor Jianwen's IQ should not be a big problem, otherwise Emperor Hongwu would not choose him as his successor.Helpless, the head shape is special, there is a hole in the head, no problem has become a problem.

Fang Xiaoru is a master of learning, a tough guy, and a loyal minister with a heart to the emperor.

It's a pity that all his abilities are used in reading, and if he completely applies the theories in the book to solve practical problems, or solve the problem of rebellion, he is destined to hit his head and break his blood.However, there was a benevolent emperor standing in front of him, and if he wanted to hit him, he would go first.

What does it mean to do bad things with good intentions and deceive people invisible?Fang Dashi will present the essence of it to the world.

King Yan used force to force him, but Emperor Jianwen was still able to stand firm.

Master Fang dug the hole himself, and Zhu Yunqi fell down completely.

Fang Xiaoru has no practical knowledge, but is a first-rate eloquent.

Emperor Jianwen was impressed by Fang Xiaoru's eloquence, adopted his opinion again, and decided to implement a strategy of alienating King Yan and his son.

King Zhou was arrested because of his son's denunciation.

Emperor Jianwen knew that the king of Yan was not the king of Zhou, and the three brothers Zhu Gaochi were not Zhu Youxi who dared to report his father for the sake of title, but he had to give it a try.King Yan is suspicious, as long as he has doubts about Zhu Gaochi, his goal has been achieved.

Father and son are suspicious, and brothers fight against each other.

Perhaps without Emperor Jianwen's action, King Yan's army would disintegrate from within.

In the Qianqing palace, Fang Xiaoru talked eloquently, and from the perspective of a scholar, with the most rigorous attitude, he enumerated the various benefits of the divorce plan to Emperor Jianwen.

"Soldiers are expensive. I think that your Majesty can send a letter to the son, ordering it to return to the court, not to be held accountable, and promised the throne. Sometimes people will secretly report to the king of Yan, and the king will return to the north. The heavenly army can take the opportunity to take back the grain road and arrange it calmly. . Then order the soldiers of the King of Qin to launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, and the matter will be completed."

Emperor Jianwen listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, and occasionally patted the table and praised, "Sir, you are a great talent!"

Fang Xiaoru said that the king of Yan is a traitor if he is unfaithful!For the sake of the emperor's country and country, he must do his utmost to be loyal and wise.

Really loyal minister!

Emperor Jianwen was completely moved, held his hands and cried, and the monarch and his ministers got along well.

The situation looks familiar?

When King Yan rebelled, Qi Tai was Minister of the Ministry of War, Huang Zicheng was Hanlin, and the three monarchs and ministers often got along like this.

Now, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng go out to recruit soldiers, and Fang Xiaoru continues the unfinished business of the two, sweating like rain on Zhu Yunqi's career path, and constantly digging holes.

Emperor Jianwen fell with a bruised nose and swollen face. When he got up, he still wanted to praise "Mr. Great Talent", and then continued to fall with tears.

Really hard life.

The plan has been decided, and Fang Xiaoru executes it himself.

Beiping was the old nest of King Yan, and the nails planted by the court were basically cleaned up, but Fang Xiaoru was not.As a model of scholars in the world, there are a lot of admirers of Fang Dashi. Maybe they will criticize the court in one way or another, and they can find all kinds of faults in Emperor Jianwen, but Fang Xiaoru never said it. Not a word.

Master Fang wants to know about the relationship between Prince Yan and his son?

no problem!The data will be sent as soon as it is sorted out.

Master Fang wants to use time with King Yan and his son?

No problem!All for justice!

Lin Jiayou, the Hanlin editor who had been in and out of Yanwang's mansion for official business, was very clear about the relationship between Yanwang and his son, and also knew a thing or two about the rivalry between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.Fang Xiaoru proposed to the emperor to use tricks to separate the father and son of King Yan, and editor Lin played a big role in it.

Scholars also know that persimmons should be squeezed softly, and they should be done as soon as possible.

In order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, Fang Xiaoru put aside his prejudices and suggested that the emperor use Jinyiwei and eunuchs.

During the Hongwu period, Jinyiwei claimed to be pervasive and capable of handling affairs. Emperor Hongwu knew exactly how many pieces of meat the ministers ate at night.Even if it has been abandoned for a few years, the shelf is still there, and it should be able to pick out the available people.

The reputation of King Yan's benevolence has always been spread among the eunuchs, and even Fang Xiaoru has heard of it. Perhaps the only one who doesn't know is Zhu Yunqi who lives in the palace and is surrounded by eunuchs and palace people.If eunuchs were sent to report the letter, the scheming King Yan should also fall into the trap.

"Send Jin Yiwei to Yan Yi's son, and order the eunuch to report to King Yan, this plan will work."

Re-enable Jinyiwei?

A look of hesitation appeared on Emperor Jianwen's face.

Secretly, he has been using Jinyiwei, and the nobles and generals who are involved with King Yan all have Jinyiwei's eyes and ears.But most courtiers, especially civil servants, have been kept in the dark.According to Fang Xiaoru's plan, Jin Yiwei will be put on the table no matter whether it is successful or not, which is completely inconsistent with Zhu Yunqi's usual image.

The eunuch made Emperor Jianwen frown even more.

Emperor Taizu Gao personally erected a stele, and eunuchs who dared to interfere in political affairs were beheaded if they found out.Peeling and filling grass is the treatment of officials, and eunuchs have no right to enjoy it.

"Aiqing, do you have to use Jinyiwei and eunuchs? Zhen..." Emperor Jianwen hesitated, "Maybe you can choose one or two from the nobles?"

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs cannot make this plan."

"It really won't work?"

"It really doesn't work."

"……All right."

Emperor Jianwen was once again persuaded by Fang Xiaoru.Immediately ordered Fang Xiaoru to draft an imperial edict and summoned Zhang An, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, to have an audience.As for the eunuch who delivered the letter to King Yan, Emperor Jianwen chose Wang Jinghong.

From the emperor's point of view, there should be no problem with the loyalty of the eunuch Wang who has been by his side all the time.

As soon as the decree came out, even Wang Jinghong couldn't believe it.

Fang Xiaoru dug a hole, but Emperor Jianwen still felt that the depth was not enough, so he dug two more shovels himself.

It's really God's will to trick people, and you can't blame the society.

"Your Majesty, I must fulfill my mission!"

Zhang Qianhu is a rare and loyal person. Although he realized with a keen intuition that this trip will never return, no matter whether King Yan is in the trap or not, his head will be lost, and he still accepts it without hesitation. task.

It doesn't work if you don't accept it.Knowing such confidentiality, and being summoned by the emperor himself, daring to refuse, is also a dead end.

Wang Jinghong fell on the ground, weeping bitterly, "This servant is leaving, I can no longer serve Your Majesty, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body!"

It was rare for Emperor Jianwen to show a good face to the eunuch, so he comforted Wang Jinghong a few words in a warm voice, and gave him a lot of rewards, thinking that he had Wang Jinghong's loyalty.As everyone knows, the tearful eunuch in front of him is secretly scheming and informing King Yan of the lack of troops in the court and the emptiness of the capital.

Worried about not being able to deliver the news, Master Fang is really timely!

After some planning, in November of the third year of Emperor Jianwen, Zhang An, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and Wang Jinghong, the internal servant and eunuch, set off with the edict drawn up by Fang Xiaoru.

After leaving Nanjing, the two went north all the way, and after entering Shandong, they broke up in Jining.

Zhang Qianhu hurried to Peiping, and Wang Jinghong rushed to Dingzhou, where King Yan was stationed.

At that time, it was snowing heavily in Hebei. If Zhang Qianhu hadn't had a strong willpower to support him, Zhang Qianhu might have been heroic on the way, and he would have been frozen to death by the roadside without seeing Zhu Gaochi.

In Mengjiatun, more than 20 miles away from Beiping, the young man on the turret spotted Zhang An and several guards who were acting suspiciously, and immediately reported it to the clan elders.Meng Chongjiu made the decision and informed the Lizhong patrol inspector of the pedestrian's whereabouts.

"Thanks to the three of Twelve Langs, we have today's life. Today is no different than before, everyone should be more vigilant. But if something goes wrong, we must immediately report to the inspection, or enter the city to report the big order."

The clansmen nodded and said yes.

Twelve Lang brought his two cousins ​​under the command of King Yan, and the officials became bigger and bigger, and the Meng family all went up and down.

Twelve Lang is righteous again. When he comes back, the tribe will not benefit?Even if he can't help much, he can't be a drag on Meng Guangxiao's family.Is Dalang doing human affairs?Without Twelfth Lang, the Meng family would be brought into trouble by him.

Lizhong inspector got the news, finished eating a chicken leg in two bites, spit out the bone scum, and grabbed the waist knife, "These people are probably spies from the imperial court, Zhao San, send news to Da Ling immediately, Li Zhuzi and I Let's go together! If you catch it, it must be a great achievement!"

In the land of northern Xinjiang, the folk customs are aggressive.The inspectors and the county government officers all have considerable combat effectiveness.Fighting in battle is a bit inferior, but he is adept at smashing sticks and hitting bricks, and ordinary frontier soldiers can't match it.

The dignified Jinyiwei Qianhu was beaten by a low-level inspector. Zhang An was dizzy, with stars in his eyes, and fell to the ground.Everyone rushed forward, and all the captains who followed Zhang An were tied up and couldn't move.

The man was tied up to the Wanping county government office, and after being swung down with water and fire sticks, Zhang Qianhu gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

We are Jinyiwei, we cannot lose face!

Who is Magistrate He?The fierce man who personally copied the guy and slashed against the Southern Army, has a first-class government level and first-class fighting skills.

Don't open your mouth?It's okay, keep beating!

It's not finished until the ass is smashed.

Zhang An was still gritted his teeth and carried it hard, but the captain and Lishi couldn't hold on anymore.A school lieutenant screamed and spoke out the identities of several people and Zhang Anhuai's edict.

With the first one, the others also confessed one after another. It was roughly the same as what the captain said. They all knew that Zhang Anhuai had an imperial edict and went to Beiping to see his son.As for Fang Xiaoru's divorce plan, no one except Zhang An knew about it.

A few sticks knocked out a group of brocade guards, Magistrate He really didn't expect.

The yamen servant who swung the stick never expected that he would be lucky enough to beat Jin Yiwei's ass!

Think about the frightening Fusi of Jinyiwei Beizhen who was able to stop children from crying at night during the Hongwu period.

If he can beat Jin Yiwei once in his career, his life can be considered complete.

After today, you can brag to others: "I'm a tough guy, pure man! Don't believe me? I even beat Jin Yiwei!"

"Is there a secret edict? Find it out!"

When He Yin gave an order, the servants rushed forward, even the clerks in charge of the transcript rolled up their sleeves.

Zhang Qianhu rose up to fight back, but his fists were defeated by four hands. He couldn't keep his jacket, inner jacket, and even his boots.

Lying on the ground with white stripes, Zhang An's eyes were sharp, his hands were clenched into fists, and smoke was rising from his head.

What a shame!

The clothes were torn apart, the belt was disassembled, and the soles of the boots were also cut off, but there was still no trace of the secret edict.With an idea, a yamen servant untied the package Zhang An was carrying, revealing the envelope inside, and everyone stopped in unison.

These clothes are so worthless.

County Magistrate He looked at the envelope in front of him and coughed, "Today's matter must be kept secret, if you dare to reveal a little bit, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Jinyiwei, secret edict, and stripping clothes are all forbidden!

"As ordered!"

In Beiping in November, you can freeze on your breath.

Zhang Qianhu was wrapped in an old cotton-padded jacket, with two tubes of snot hanging from his nose, and was carried into the palace while thinking about shame and shame.

The secret edict was also sent together.

County magistrate He is a cautious person, and the secret edict remains intact, not even a single corner is broken.The envelope has not been opened, so naturally no one knows the contents of the secret edict.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a long time after listening to the cause and effect, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"He Daling, is this really Jin Yiwei?"

"Hui Shizi, that's right."

"Aside from the people in the county government, is there anyone else who knows about the secret edict?"

"Returning to the son, the minister has ordered that the news be strictly guarded, and it must not be spread outside the county government. If the news is leaked, the civil servants present will be punished."

"kindness."

Zhu Gaochi nodded in satisfaction, and called Wang An in front of He Yin, ordering him to lead someone to bring Jin Yiwei who was locked up in the county government office, and send him to King Yan together with Zhang Qianhu who was in front of him.

"Take this secret edict as well, and it must not be damaged in the slightest." Zhu Gaochi said solemnly, "When the father asks, he will tell you everything, and you must not hide it."

"The slaves obey."

Wang An picked up the secret edict and withdrew.

After sending He Yin away, Zhu Gaochi immediately went to see Princess Yan.This matter is no small matter, once the father became suspicious, it would be light to be whipped, and he might completely dislike himself, so he had to plan ahead and pick himself out.

Wang An's mouth is very strict, but the little eunuch beside him has no such ability.Unable to stand up to someone with a heart to ask, he revealed a little tone more or less.Huang Yan, a middle official in the palace, is such a caring person.

Huang Yan knew very well that the sons and brothers were not in harmony, and had already sided with the king of Gaoyang County. He believed that this was an opportunity to bring down Zhu Gaochi, so he secretly sent someone to Dingzhou before Wang An, and secretly reported that the son had a close relationship with Beijing.

"Remember, the speed must be fast!"

"Yes!"

Huang Yan sent people out of the mansion secretly, but did not go to Dianbao to apply for a waist card. It was not until the next day that Zhu Gaochi got the news.Knowing that Huang Yan tripped him up, he couldn't kill him.If King Yan finds out about it, it will be another crime to cover up.No matter how aggrieved, he must knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.

Clenching his fists tightly, Zhu Gaochi told himself not to worry, just be patient for now, and save it for later.

The people sent by Huang Yan arrived at the Yan army camp first, and the king of Yan really became suspicious.

Zhu Gaochi used to study with Zhu Yunqi, and they had a very good friendship, and the example of the King of Zhou was before him, so it must be true that the prince really turned against him?

It is not good to publicize this matter, so Zhu Di summoned Zhu Gaoxu to discuss with several confidants.Meng Qinghe was lucky to be on the list, but he secretly called it unlucky in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi will not join forces with Zhu Yunqi unless his head twitches.Emperor Jianwen was clearly planning to cut down the vassal. Today he promised Zhu Gaochi the throne, and he can pick it up tomorrow.He also bears the reputation of being "unfilial", and Zhu Gaochi will not do it even if he is killed.

Meng Qinghe knew it in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

King Yan obviously became suspicious of his son, and the king of Gaoyang County stood aside again, speaking good words for Zhu Gaochi, which was really not worth the candle.

He quietly moved back two steps, trying to hide behind the tall figures of Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng as much as possible, as a safe background.

Shen Xuan and others are not stupid, although they are generals, their political sense is a hundred times sharper than Meng Qinghe.

The crown prince has close ties with Beijing and China?

Looking at the expressions of King Yan and King Gaoyang, Zhu Neng took the lead, Shen Xuan followed, and all the generals remained silent.

In the final analysis, this matter depends on Yan Wang's attitude.As long as King Yan doesn't believe it, it's useless for Emperor Jianwen and Fang Xiaoru to send more people.Once Yan Wang became suspicious, even if the secret edict and people were sent to him, he would also think that Zhu Gaochi was acting for him.

Silence spread in the big tent, and the air seemed to be frozen.

The people sent by Huang Yan knelt on the ground with Wang An, both trembling.

King Yan never asked the two to get up, tore open the envelope, read the secret edict, and suddenly asked Zhu Gaoxu, "What do you think of this matter?"

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be hesitant, "Father, son..."

"Just listen to the truth."

After finishing the words, his eyes swept across the people in the tent, and stayed on Meng Qinghe for less than a second, which still made his scalp tense.

Zhu Gaoxu's expression was very struggling, and he said with difficulty: "My son... the grandson of Gushan. But my son is loyal to my father, and my father thinks twice!"

Adding fuel to the fire, and stabbing behind the scenes.

It sounded like an excuse for Zhu Gaochi, but in fact, it kept deepening King Yan's suspicion.

Meng Qinghe silently took a breath of air, lowering his head even lower.It really is right not to interfere with the elder brothers.Otherwise, whoever stabbed him in the back would have no place to cry when he entered the Hall of Yama.

Zhu Neng and Shen Xuan remained calm on the surface, but they had a new understanding of Zhu Gaoxu in their hearts.

It is said that the son is proficient in Confucianism and has a deep scheming mind.Now it seems that the Gaoyang County King is not a good stubble.

The method is rough, but it has captured the mentality of King Yan. This is Zhu Gaoxu's advantage.

King Yan's complexion turned black, and he was about to speak, when the soldiers outside the tent reported back, several eunuchs from Nanjing begged to see King Yan, claiming that they had something important to report.

From Nanjing?

Zhu Di's face darkened, "Bring it in."

Wang Jinghong walked into the big tent, took his head and bowed, "My maidservant pays homage to Your Highness."

King Yan had met Wang Jinghong and had some impressions of him.Wang Jinghong didn't expect that King Yan still remembered him, and he was very excited. After worshiping again, he revealed that Emperor Jianwen and Fang Xiaoru had made a plan to separate, intending to make King Yan and his son suspicious.

"Your Highness, this is a conspiracy to uphold Confucianism!"

Seeing the inhuman Zhang An outside the tent, Wang Jinghong guessed that King Yan had already got the news, so he stopped talking and sold Emperor Jianwen and Fang Xiaoru with a few words.

Zhu Di slapped his palm on the table, his face was full of anger, "Shuzi is abominable! Kill my son!"

Seeing King Yan like this, the King of Gaoyang County thought it was a pity, but said in his mouth: "Shu Ru is treacherous, I almost misunderstood my elder brother!"

The general in the tent was no longer silent, and together with King Yan and his son, he scolded Fang Xiaoru for being treacherous and wicked, what a shame!

To show his merit, Wang Jinghong took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness, this servant has other important information. The emperor seized the official position of Qitai Huang Zicheng, but it was just a cover-up, and actually ordered the two of them to go out to recruit soldiers."

"Recruitment?"

"The imperial court's troops are insufficient, and the capital is very empty. If His Highness can lead the troops directly to the capital, great things will be settled!"

After the words fell, no one was overjoyed, nor was he praised by the king of Yan, but was glared at by the king of Gaoyang County.Wang Jinghong didn't know which sentence he said was wrong, and he didn't know where he violated the taboo. Seeing the unhappy face of King Yan, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Zheng He squinted at him, if this person stays by Wang Ye's side, he must be a strong enemy, he must be careful!

There was a long silence in the tent, and all the generals ground their teeth together.

He fought desperately for three years in order to defeat the capital!

The capital is empty, can it be defeated in one battle?

You have to be able to pass!

Shandong is blocked in the middle, and Jinan can't be beaten. Go to Nanjing?How to go, fly over?

Meng Qinghe quietly pulled Shen Xuan's sleeve under cover, "Commander, I have something to say..."

Shen Xuan tilted his head and moved closer, Meng Qinghe lowered his voice, "The emptiness of the capital is indeed a great opportunity, Ping An can take a detour to attack Beiping, why does the prince have to capture Jinan?"

"Betched?"

"Yes. Also, the Jinyiwei sent by the imperial court can also make a fuss..."

The two were whispering on one side, others didn't pay attention, but King Yan saw it clearly.This is what Meng Qinghe wanted.Jinan dealt too much blow to King Yan, which made him get into a dead end, thinking that if he could not defeat Jinan, he would not be able to go to the capital.

As long as you help King Yan sweep away the fog, the road to Jingnan will be smooth, and if there are stones on the road, just kick them away.

This kind of credit is not something that Meng Qinghe can claim, he must find someone to "back up", and there is no more suitable candidate than Shen Xuan.

Originally, Meng Qinghe was still considering the best time to offer his advice, but Wang Jinghong's sudden appearance made his eyes shine.

However, the atmosphere in the tent is too oppressive, it is not appropriate to speak hastily, it is better to ask Yan Wang to take the initiative to ask, everything will come naturally.

"Xuan'er, what are you two talking about?"

Shen Xuan looked at Meng Qinghe, Meng Twelve Lang blinked quietly, took a step back, and made up his mind not to speak.

"Xuan'er?"

King Yan asked another question, and Shen Xuan replied loudly: "My lord, I am discussing with Meng Tongzhi about entering the capital. In addition, the Jinyiwei outside the tent can also be used."

"Oh?"

"If you don't attack Jinan, you can enter Beijing." After a pause, seeing the doubts on the faces of King Yan and the generals, Shen Xuan continued, "You can follow the example of the Ping'an army and take a detour!"

"Detour?" King Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized, "Great kindness!"

Knowing that Ping'an had appeared outside Beiping City, an idea flashed through King Yan's mind, but he couldn't catch it.As soon as Shen Xuan's words came out, it happened to remind him.

It's not that there is only one road leading to Nanjing. He was stuck in Jinan, and he entered a dead end.

Bypassing Jinan does have to bear the risk of being attacked, but if the adventure succeeds, victory can be expected, and everything is worth it!

Excited, King Yan asked again: "Xuan'er said these Jinyiwei are also of great use?"

"Back to the lord, this is what Meng Tongzhi said, and I don't know much about my humble position."

Everyone glanced over, Meng Qinghe had no choice but to speak, and said: "The humble official thinks that the emperor favors corrupt Confucianism and values ​​the name of benevolence and love. Jin Yiwei's reputation has never been very good, and this can be used."

If it was learned by Chao Wenwu that the emperor used Jinyiwei to handle affairs, spy on intelligence, and instigate the family relationship of the vassal king, even if it was for "justice", it would be enough for Emperor Jianwen to drink a pot.

Focus on reputation?Then start with the reputation.

If Fang Xiaoru is also involved, what will happen to the direction of public opinion?Scholars still worship Fang Dashi, who is allied with the "Hawk Dog"?

Attacking the other's shield with one's spear, no matter whether the spear is broken or the shield is broken, King Yan will have no loss, and maybe he will get unexpected joy.

Emperor Jianwen personally sent people here, and if he didn't make good use of them, I was really sorry for his kindness.

After listening to Meng Qinghe's words, everyone's backs felt a little chilled.

Black, it is simply too dark!

As expected of Master Daoyan's apprentice, he really cheated people without paying for his life!
