Chapter 266 Falling into the Wolf's Den (2)
King Ning Zhu Quan was struck by lightning and instantly petrified.
Then he exploded suddenly and shouted, "Impossible! How can a foreign general, Sheng Yong, control the soldiers of the Daning? All of my subordinates are..."
"Does Qiansui want to say that your subordinates are all loyal generals promoted by you!" Ping An looked at Ning Wang Zhu Quan with extraordinary peace, "They only listen to you, and no one can do anything else, right?"
Thump, Zhu Quan sat down weakly, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"First of all, you are wrong. The generals under your command are only promoted by you, not by you! Furthermore, strictly speaking, the Ming Dynasty court was promoted, not by you!" Ping'an continued to say, "You think they all listened to you because the emperor did not speak, because you are the son of the Supreme Emperor and the prince of the Ming Dynasty."
"If!" Ping'an smiled, "The emperor has issued an order, do you think they still listen to you?"
"Impossible..." Zhu Quan murmured.
"Don't talk about the generals in Daning, the personal soldiers you brought out now. Do you believe it or not? They are all measuring in their hearts whether to commit this great disrespect with you! Should you follow you and the court, and should you follow you as a traitor!"
"Nonsense!" Zhu Quan stood up again, "Ping Baoer, please stop scaring me!"
Ping An was still very calm. Looking at Zhu Quan's eyes, it was like looking at a naughty student.
"What I am telling the truth is that Sheng Yong represents the emperor and can naturally control all the troops of Daning. Besides, the generals under your command know better than you. They were granted to you by the court, and the court can grant them as well!"
Ping An sighed, "Besides, you are still very experienced!"
"I have been on the frontier for many years..."
Ping'an raised his hand to interrupt the words of King Ning Zhu Quan, "Have you made outstanding achievements over the years?" As he said, he looked at King Ning peacefully and continued, "Among the Kings of the Ming Dynasty, the four feudals of Qin, Jin, Yan and Ning are the strongest. But whether it is King Qin, Jin, and King Yan, they are young people who have been in the army and have been practicing in the border for more than 20 years to firmly control their troops."
Speaking of this, Ping An shook his head, "You don't have any military achievements, you are far inferior to the means of winning people's hearts, and you are even worse in terms of connections! Everything you have today comes from the preference of the Supreme Emperor. Everything about you is based on the fact that you are the Supreme Emperor's son, not by yourself."
"You..." Ping'an's words directly pointed to the fatal hole of King Ning Zhu Quan.
Indeed, he was young, he had insufficient prestige, he had insufficient qualifications, and he had been in the frontier for a short time... The reason why those powerful generals in the army listened to him was because he was King Ning and the son of Emperor Hongwu, rather than sincerely admiring him and willing to live and die with him.
"I'll say that only you and I can talk privately!" Ping'an whispered, "You are the least qualified and most powerful to fight against the emperor!"
King Ning Zhu Quan roared silently, his eyes as if he was like a knife, and he stared at Ping'an fiercely.
"Look, you look like you are a tough guy on the outside and a tough guy!" Ping An sighed, "You are spoiled and forgetful!"
As he said that, he shook his head silently and smiled bitterly, "Your father-in-law is just the commander of Luzhou Road, and his troops are only 8,000. He has some military achievements. Could he compare with the founding nobles of our Ming Dynasty?"
"Among your brothers, the Yue family of King Qin is the Deng family. Not to mention that they are posthumously named Prince, they are the sixth founding Dukes! The Yue family of King Jin is the Xie family of Marquis of Yongping, and he is also the founding military marquis of the Tieti, the older generation who swept the powerful people in Mobei!"
"Not to mention the Yue family of King Yan, the Xu family of Duke of Wei! And what about you! Compared with them, what do you have? Those three princes have the favor of the Supreme Emperor and the support of the Yue family. Only after more than 20 years of war can the other subordinate dare not to obey. What about you? What do you have?"
"Say something even worse!" Ping'an shook his head again, "Even if I ask you to go back to Daning, do you believe it or not, you don't need the imperial army to arrive. Any old military marquis will come with the emperor's will, and your subordinates will tie you up and ask for credit!"
"Impossible..." Sweat was falling down along the temples, and King Ning looked as if he was ashamed but still had a stubborn mouth.
As he said that, countless grievances suddenly emerged in his indignation and reluctance, "You deliberately bury me, my father loved me the most!"
"Yes, the Supreme Emperor loves you!" Ping'an shook his head and said, "Since you arrived at the fiefdom, you have given great power for many years, but do you know why?"
Zhu Quan looked at Ping'an in confusion, waiting for the answer.
"Just because you have no foundation, no prestige, no qualifications, and no connections!" Ping An looked into Zhu Quan's eyes, "Because you are not a threat! No matter how good he treats you, he is, he is not as good as the emperor!"
"If you think about it, King Yan has surrendered. You don't know the abnormal movements of King Yan in the early years, right? He has surrendered. Now he is a loyal minister and filial son. How powerful are you, can you be better than King Yan?"
Zhu Quan's body shook violently and his face was pale.
"Seventh Master has sent you a letter? I know, and the emperor knows it too." Ping'an continued to say lightly, "Not only do you know this letter, but the emperor knows your little actions in private!"
"What does he know..." Zhu Quan suddenly became nervous.
"Look, you are so impatient!" Ping'an smiled again, "You know what you should know, and you know what you shouldn't know." As he said, sighing, "Prince, you have no secrets for the Emperor."
"You really think of the fifth, sixth, and seventh masters. They want to rely on you? I am the bystander. They deliberately treat you too high and use you!" Ping An said again, "Take you as a gun! If you really have your brother, will the seventh master write you such a letter?"
"He wants to kill you!" Ping'an sighed again, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of turning back and not going to the capital?"
"The court officials will inevitably write a letter to punish your serious crime of treason. At that time, all the vassal kings will definitely stand on the side of the emperor. They wish the emperor would deal with you, and even wish you a fight."
"Why? Because once the emperor meets you, will their affairs be slowed down? Then there will be priorities. They are light and you are urgent!"
Zhu Quan sat in a daze and sweated like rain, unable to say a word.
"Where are you talking about it! I'm just saying so much!" Ping'an slowly stood up and tightened the strap on his leather armor, "I'll give you half a stick of incense to consider it." As he said that, he turned around and walked out, but stopped at the door, "If you still want to be obsessed, I won't attack you. After all, you are the son of the old man. I'll attack you and have no face to see him in the future!"
"But behind me is He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei. He may be more polite to you than me, but it will definitely make you feel more uncomfortable! Unless you are determined to rebel, you should just listen to me! Will I harm you?"
Speaking of this, Ping An looked red with his eyes and stared back, "Master Seventeen, the old man is gone. Don't you just want to meet him for the last time? Is your father and son's kindness to raise him even more than the little greed in your heart?"
King Ning Zhu Quan was confused and his mind was in chaos.
Looking at Ping'an, he subconsciously said, "Then...will the emperor... after I go to the capital?"
"Hey! Old man, why did you give birth to so many idiot sons?"
Ping An looked at the clear sky and said in his heart.
Then he paused and said, "I don't want to lie to you. I can only say that you can save your life when you go to the capital! If you don't go, it will be... a slander that will die for thousands of years without a complete body!"
Suddenly, Zhu Quan's body staggered.
"Wait!" He called out Ping'an, who was about to walk out, "Ping Bao'er, you have to help me speak in front of the emperor!"
As he said that, he felt aroused, "I don't have a very disrespectful heart. It was Brother Qi who wrote to me that the emperor wanted to kill me. I was afraid that I would not dare to enter Beijing! Yes, that's what Brother Qi said!"
