The towering red walls of the palace seem to divide the capital into two worlds: one is a discussion about the direction of the country, and the other is also a discussion about the direction of the country.

However, the people who truly have decision-making power in this country have never been the eloquent scholars or enthusiasts in the capital, but Lin Weiran, the chief minister who had been in charge of this dynasty for more than ten years, and Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Baili, who had supreme status.

Regardless of the direction of public opinion in the capital, when they expressed their opinions, Lin Qingran and Baili had reached a consensus and were planning the final direction of China.

The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind does not stop.

In late autumn, the Beijing was filled with a cool feeling, with yellow leaves floating on the blue brick streets, and the sound of sadness and loneliness came from some people.

Just as the people in the capital were still waiting for the court's actions, a fast cavalry crashed into the capital from the west, bringing a military situation that shocked the government and the public.

"What? King Shun rebelled?"

"It's not a rebellion, but King Shun raised an army in the name of Jingnan!"

"Haha... Isn't this just copying Chengzu's actions back then? What's the difference between rebellion?"

...

After learning about the rebellion of King Shun Zhu Yijun, the entire capital immediately became panicked and he was also very clear about King Shun Zhu Yijun's true intentions.

When Chengzu Zhu Di fought from Peiping to Nanjing. Although he was also under the name of Jingnan, he seized the throne from his nephew when he arrived in Nanjing.

Now, Zhu Yijun, the King of Shun, was about to kill from Shanxi under the name of Jingnan. Naturally, it was impossible for him to really save the car, but to imitate Chengzu to seize the world.

That's true. No matter what slogan King Shun played, he was actually coming to seize the world and to break the current national peace and stability.

"For his own selfish thoughts, King Shun actually wanted to raise troops. It's really abominable!"

"This has been the case since ancient times. Xu Xueshu said that the emperors' poems are not false!"

"King Shun is a sinner in China. Even if I, Li, died, I, will not let such evil thieves succeed!"

...

The people nowadays have a strong sense of nationality, so they hate King Shun Zhu Yijun's military campaign. Many people even show their determination to sacrifice their lives for national justice.

Whether it is ordinary people or scholars with more advanced ideas, they are increasingly yearning for an ideal society of "slaughtering together for generations".

That's why, after the news of King Shun's rebellion, they all firmly condemned King Shun's military campaign, hoping that the court would quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

As for supporting Shun King Zhu Yijun, this idea does not exist at all!

Of course, although mainstream voices strongly condemn Shun King Zhu Yijun's move to raise troops, there are inevitably people who want to imitate their predecessors who conducted political speculation during the Jingnan period of Zhu Di.

Although there are loyal ministers like Fang Xiaoru who would rather die than surrender, there are also officials who take the initiative to hold Zhu Di's thigh. The most legendary one is Yang Rong, the chief assistant of the four dynasties.

Yang Rong was originally a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen and was a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy at that time. After being opened by Cao Guogong Li Jinglong and others, he took the initiative to stop the King of Yan Zhu Di who wanted to enter the city and faced Zhu Di. He reminded him: "Do you visit the tomb first and ascend the throne first?"

It was this reminder that allowed Zhu Di to continue to carry the banner of clearing the monarch, and then, when Emperor Jianwen was missing, he took up the throne as the famous.

Another winner of the Jingnan period during the Chengzu period was Xu Zengshou, Duke of Ding. He first covered the rebellion of King Yan Zhu Di, and then repeatedly reported to Zhu Di to the city of Nanjing, and finally obtained the hereditary Duke of Ding.

From Chengzu's Jingnan, we can see that King Shun is following Chengzu's Jingnan. Once they provide help to King Shun, the future returns will be immeasurable.

In view of this, the officialdom in the capital seemed to be undercurrents, and some officials were preparing to bet on Shunwang Zhu Yijun in exchange for excess returns.

Among the people who surrendered to King Shun, what is unexpected is that He Guoliang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, who is an important member of the Lin Party, actually sent a letter of surrender to King Shun.

In addition, the most active group is the noble group.

Since Lin Junran came to power, although he has not explicitly ordered the hereditary rights of the nobles to be abolished, he has deprived the nobles of the nobles and gradually marginalized them in the army.

The former nobles not only inherited titles, but also held important positions in the army. This shows how Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, was appointed as the commander of the army during the Jianwen period.

But if the nobles nowadays want to hold important positions in the military, they have to compete with other generals from civilian origins. All positions are measured by personal military talents.

Let them, who have been pampered since childhood, fight for military positions with the best among the civilians, fight for military positions, but they are repeatedly defeated.

It is precisely because they all hoped to overthrow Lin Junran's "tyranny", so they expressed their loyalty to Shun King Zhu Yijun through different channels, and even promised that if they guarded the city gate, they would definitely open the city gate for Zhu Yijun.

The capital in the depths presents a scene of a storm coming and winds filling the building.

On the eighth day of the 12th year of Baili, it is a great day.

Ordinary families even need to check the almanac for the land. Now it is related to the major event of seizing the emperor. The officials of Shun Wang naturally did not dare to be careless, so they specially chose a good day.

This was indeed a good day. There was finally no sun in the morning that day, but it was also clear and clear, presenting a good weather with a clear and cool autumn weather.

Woo...

A long trumpet rang out, and the troops stationed in this area gathered over, and then formed standard left, right and central troops in the open space.

Wang Qian was wearing a brand new chain mail and riding a tall and red horse. He led the three armies with the other two leaders of the Shun Palace, waiting for inspection in front of the Shun Palace.

They also prepared for this day for a long time.

They also want to follow the example of the honorary group in Beijing, and use this battle to obtain hereditary titles for their descendants, so as to become a noble family that is superior to the people for generations and live a rich and rich life

.

Thirty thousand soldiers formed three neatly arranged arrays, with their eyes full of longing for the future, and they also fantasized about making a fortune through this battle.

Not long after, there was movement at the head of Shunwang City.

Zhu Yijun, the Shun king wearing a royal robe, appeared. Due to his years of pampering life, he was extremely obese even though he was only in his early twenties.

Zhu Yijun just walked up to the city and looked panting at this moment, but looking at the three square formations in front of the city, his face couldn't help but smile.

He was only one step away from the position of the crown prince in his early years. Although so many years have passed, he always had an inseparable obsession with the throne.

Now that his elder brother Zhu Yi-Yi is dead, he just needs to smash Lin Weiran's conspiracy to "forge the prince", he will naturally become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty and thus control the life and death power of hundreds of millions of people in this country.

"King Shun is a thousand years old!"

Wang Qian and others saw the fat King Shun Zhu Yijun appearing on the top of the city, and immediately knelt down in unison, and then shouted to the sky and earth.

When did Zhu Yijun see this scene? Seeing the army formation of 30,000 soldiers under the city, listening to the shouts of 30,000 soldiers under the city, he immediately felt like he was falling into a dream.

At this moment, he seemed to be no longer just a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, but also an emperor who ruled the world.

Zhang Siwei has been verbally appointed as the prime minister of the Left. He first asked for instructions to Zhu Yijun, who was so happy, and then read the manifesto to the army and said: "The wise ruler decided before the incident, and the good ministers planned thousands of miles away. Therefore, there were extraordinary people.

Then there will be extraordinary things; there will be extraordinary things, and then there will be extraordinary things. The rebel minister wears a knife, is stupid but has no virtue, is shameless but has no feelings, deceives the world and steals reputation, and is rampant... We will calm down the anger of the heavens and calm people,

I want to give kindness to the world, promote righteous men, and attack rebels. I want to respect the power of heaven and earth, and carry out the tiger steps of thunder, how can I not break the truth? However, I have loyal officials, righteous officials, and evil men, and evil men, and evil men, and evil men, and evil men; I have

The army of tigers and wolfs is a violent person. This is just the time when loyal ministers serve the country; when martyrs make achievements."

Since ancient times, China has pursued "famous army" in marching and fighting. Although they are clearly trying to compete for the throne, they have also found a suitable excuse for sending troops.

"The army that promotes justice and attacks the rebels!"

Wang Qian led 30,000 soldiers and responded loudly, seemingly in a very good manner.

For a moment, the voice soared into the sky, demonstrating their high fighting spirit, and pointed the spearhead at the treacherous prime minister Lin Yanran.

Zhu Yijun is too obese, and has never had the experience of leading troops, and even knows nothing about military tactics, so he actually acts as a mascot in this army.

After the oath-taking ceremony, Shun Wang Zhu Yijun did not intend to go out with the army, but instead asked Wang Qian to act as the commander, Hou Jiakang as the military advisor, and took the lead in capturing Pingyang City.

When the army captured Pingyang City, he took the king's carriage to Pingyang City until the army cleared all obstacles for him, and successfully rode the king's carriage into the Forbidden City.

Thirty thousand troops sent King Shun back to his house and were ready to set off.

Although it is claimed to be a 100,000 army, the number is only 30,000. In addition to a large group of bandits who do not uphold military discipline, there are also a large number of farmers who have not experienced the war, and only a small number are soldiers from the nine borders.

Of course, the greatest capital of this army is not the military combat power, but the purest royal bloodline of King Shun Zhu Yijun, and the identity of the current first heir to the Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Yijun's idea, no matter how powerful Lin Junran's army was, the world belonged to their Zhu family, and the troops from all over the country would definitely come to serve.

"The three armies obey orders and set off!"

As Wang Chonggu's eldest son, Wang Qian had a confused confidence in his military talents and immediately commanded the army to march towards Pingyang City.

Pingyang City, Shanxi.

As the news of King Shun Zhu Yijun's army came, the city immediately became panic, and many wealthy families were even fleeing Pingyang City with their families.

But I don’t know if the generals in the city had already rebelled or if they were not afraid of King Shun’s 100,000 troops. At this time, only one city gate was closed, and I was deaf ears to the news that King Shun’s troops came.

In the Pingyang Prefecture Office, the officials from the prefecture office gathered together at this time.

The prefect Ning Yongzhong was a third-class Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. However, he was in his forties when he passed the exam, and now he is almost retired.

Ning Yongzhong had already learned that King Shun was going to rebel, and at this time he seemed to have regained his vitality when he was young.

He first looked around the officials present, and then said astonishingly: "The treacherous minister Lin Qingran is corrupt and bribed, arrogant and extravagant, and has caused trouble in the court for more than ten years, which has caused local people to be resentful and the people are living in poverty..."

this……

The Tongzhi, Tongzhi and Promoter present, more than 20 officials, heard Ning Yongzhong's argument, could not help but look at each other, and many people were even more stunned.

This is completely different from Lin Weiran as they know, and it is completely different from the world they know, everything seems so absurd.

Ning Yongzhong ignored the reaction of the officials present, but continued to say to himself: "King Ning has always been famous for his virtuousness and wants to raise troops to save the emperor, so he is kind to do this! Since we are the ministers of the Zhu family, we should...

”

"Shut up! Ning Yongzhong, Xiangye Lin has created a prosperous era today. All overseas countries regard my Ming Dynasty as the sect leader. Are you blind? " Liu Wei, the magistrate in charge of land management, interrupted Ning Yongzhong's words, and seemed righteous.

He accused him sternly.

When the officials present heard this, they immediately felt that the world was not completely crazy. This is the evaluation that normal people should have for Lin Weiran, and it is also the world they have always known.
