Chapter 103: Collapse (14)
This has nothing to do with Ma Jixiang and the others' reason for coming. However, if they don't give an answer, it will be difficult for them to say what they say.
"My dear brother, do you still remember An Long?"
Anlong? It is impossible for Jin Weixin not to remember the name of this place. It was Li Dingguo who rescued Emperor Yongli from the prison of Sun Kewang. He was not only an entourage, he was able to jump from a mere staff member to a official.
Zuo Shilang was riding on this trend.
However, Ma Jixiang suddenly said this, but he could not understand the deep meaning behind it for a while, and his face was full of doubts: "It is true that Anlong is in Guangxi, but the current situation is different from the past. If he goes
Guangdong and Guangxi are also heading towards Liuzhou, Nanning, and even Guangzhou..." At this point, Jin Weixin was startled, and then his eyes widened, and even his cheeks twitched involuntarily: "Is it possible?
, Your Majesty is afraid that Chen Zhijun will imitate the traitor Sun Kewang?"
Speaking of which, he had interacted with Chen Kai in Guangdong back then, and he had a more or less understanding of his character. Although he had said the words, he would never believe that Chen Kai would really be like this.
He quickly talked to Ma Jixiang: "I know Chen Zhijun. Although he is a bit aloof, he is definitely a person who understands the general situation, considers the overall situation, and knows how to advance and retreat. He will never end up like this!"
I had long heard that Chen Kai and Jin Weixin got along well with each other when they were in Guangdong. Ma Jixiang had already expected that this person was like this, so he simply followed his senses and said: "The wise brother looks at people, the foolish brother is
It is extremely trustworthy. But the emperor, hey, after all, he has been under house arrest by Sun Kewang for so long, so he will be somewhat upset. Besides, Chen Zhijun is Chen Zhijun, and the King of Fujian is the King of Fujian. In this world, His Highness, the King of Jin, is as loyal as ever.
There are really very few ministers of the second. If the King of Fujian has evil thoughts and wants to be the second to Sun Kewang, Chen Zhijun is his aide and is his brother-in-law, I'm afraid it will be a dilemma."
Seeing Ma Jixiang sighing heavily with his own eyes, as if he was lamenting the dilemma that Chen Kai was about to face in which loyalty and justice could not be balanced, Jin Weixin could not help but frown: "Yes, the surname of His Royal Highness the King of Fujian is
But it was given by the Tang vassal, not today. God knows if he had any other thoughts."
"To be honest with Brother Ma, His Highness had hinted before the expedition that if the situation deteriorated to an irreversible point, he would consider retreating to Guangxi and join hands with His Highness the King of Fujian and Chen Zhijun to fight against the captives. But now, the Emperor..."
After getting the answer, Jin Weixin provided an explanation for the previous question. There is nothing to explain in this book. Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong are in-laws. They teamed up with Chen Kai to eliminate the Pingnan and Jingnan vassals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and regained Guangdong together.
Once Yunnan is not protected, it is reasonable to return to Guangdong and Guangxi.
From the moment he asked this question, Ma Jixiang had already guessed a lot. But compared to going north to Sichuan and east to Guangdong and Guangxi, he was equally reluctant - Chen Kai's merits and abilities were better than Wen's.
An Zhi's prestige makes him even more afraid. In addition, Chen Kai, Jin Weixin, Gong Ming and other close officials of Li Dingguo all have old friends. When they arrive in Guangdong and Guangxi, he is no longer the only one of these officials of the Jin and vassal states.
The importance of options has plummeted, and God knows if these guys will abandon him like a pair of worn-out shoes!
This was something he had worried about for a long time, but now, Emperor Yongli's worries had solved the problem for him. But even so, he still did not forget to add one more sentence: "Speaking of which, the Tatars came from Guizhou."
It's just northeast of Kunming. To go to Guangxi, you have to go all the way east. The risk is too great. No wonder the emperor doesn't agree."
After the door was completely locked, Ma Jixiang saw Jin Weixin also nodded slightly, and he was determined, so he directly stated his intention: "In the past few days, the court has been discussing the relocation. The emperor seems to be more interested in entering Sichuan. King Jin
His Highness is also fully prepared. But Brother Yu has been thinking about it for several days and always feels a little uneasy."
"Oh?" Ever since Li Dingguo Anlong came to the rescue, Ma Jixiang had always followed the Jin Prince's palace and vented his anger with them. At this moment, he expressed his objection to the transfer that the emperor and the Jin Prince had already decided.
This made Jin Weixin feel a little worried: "There are no outsiders here, Brother Ma, but please speak frankly."
"The soldiers and horses have not yet used the food and fodder. His Royal Highness the King of Jin's considerations are in line with the military principles. It's just that the emperor was deceived by the officials of Sichuan Province and only heard about the benefits of entering Sichuan. Little did he know that most of the troops in the DPRK are descendants of Yunnan and Guizhou, and their ancestral graves and relatives are all there.
Once the local people enter Sichuan, it will be difficult to return to their hometowns in a short period of time. Worried about visiting foreigners and dying in a foreign country, they will definitely leave the court in large numbers, and the court will also face the situation of having no one to use when it comes to Sichuan."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Weixin immediately fell into deep thought. He himself was a Yunnanese like Ma Jixiang said, and he was absolutely unwilling to abandon his ancestral home and tomb with the Tatars.
Seeing that the attack was successful, Ma Jixiang quickly took advantage of the victory and pursued it: "Even without the hypothesis that Brother Yu just mentioned, the imperial court entered Sichuan intact all the way, and those who met him at Kuidong were not others. It was those who brought trouble to the world and drove Emperor Lie to death.
The thieves, God knows whether those guys will never change their thieves. At that time, a loyal and good person like His Highness the King of Jin will inevitably have to focus on guarding against them. What good will it do to the country? Besides, even if the Kuidong generals really change their evil ways, they will
He has been entrenched there for many years and has already become a local snake. When the emperor first arrives, he must rely on someone, and promotion and promotion are indispensable. When the time comes, people like Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, and Hao Yaoqi will also be able to compete with the king of Jin.
Wouldn’t it be absurd for Your Highnesses to claim the title of king concurrently?”
Most of the civil servants who came from the Jin Dynasty, like Jin Weixin, had witnessed Li Dingguo's great achievements. They had a superstitious belief in Li Dingguo's military capabilities that far surpassed others. It can be called a belief, or even a belief.
.
In their eyes, not to mention Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, the two vassal kings who once tied with Li Dingguo as the four great princes of the Western Regions, even Zheng Chenggong, who is now in the limelight, is nothing more than that. In Jin Weixin's private words: "Given the surname
It was just good luck that I recruited Chen Zaojun, who was still in his prime, and relied on Chen Zaojun's ingenuity to achieve today's achievements. Thinking back to when Chen Zaojun cooperated with His Highness to regain Guangdong, even an old fox like Shang Kexi ended up dead. If
Chen Zhijun has always made suggestions for His Highness, with me and others assisting him. Today, the imperial court may have already recovered the two capitals, so how can it still be dawdling in that corner of the southeast?"
Over the years, Jin Weixin has always been a staunch "Kaichui". It is not only the friendship under the city of Guangzhou, but more importantly, Chen Kai has taken a path of gradually being promoted from a staff member to a feudal official, and with those brilliant achievements
Let the world have nothing to say about this. This allows them with the same status and situation to go more smoothly in their official career, and can reduce many of the supercilious looks and obstacles from officials with Jinshi background.
To brag about Chen Kai is to brag about themselves in disguise. This is their underlying logic for praising Chen Kai and belittling Zheng Chenggong. But the more they talk about it, the more they believe that Zheng Chenggong succeeds because of his people. Having said that, even Zheng Chenggong will inevitably be criticized.
They discriminated against, let alone Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi. Today, if the emperor really conferred the title of king on the Kuidong generals, one of them would be unhappy, and more importantly, it was related to the role of the Jin Palace in the court.
Jin Weixin did not dare to ignore the benefits.
"They deserve it too?!"
"It's not up to us to decide whether they are worthy or not. The emperor is arbitrary. We can still let the intruders be dismissed by the ministers and the cabinet in front of them. Doesn't that force them to rebel? By then, even the emperor will
It is inevitable that I will have some opinions about His Highness."
After adding fuel to the fire, Ma Jixiang did not continue talking, but changed the topic: "Besides, Brother Yu can see that if those Sichuan people want to leave Jianchang, it might be detrimental to His Highness!"
"Why?"
"My dear brother, Jianchang has been in business for a long time as they said. But the person who presides over the management of Jianchang is the King of Shu, not His Highness the King of Jin. There are mostly old generals of the Shu vassal. The King of Shu is narrow-minded and makes himself angry to death.
But Brother Yu heard that there are some people in the Shu vassal who insist that His Royal Highness King Jin killed the King of Shu. If they come to Jianchang, they will not be able to take revenge or complain? "
Ma Jixiang deliberately emphasized the last eight words. Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Jin Weixin felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Brother Ma, the Emperor and His Highness have just decided to go to Sichuan, and it is not convenient to persuade them at the moment. I will try to persuade His Highness on the way, and I will not let those Sichuan people succeed!"
After talking in detail, Ma Jixiang took Ma Xiongfei and Yang Zai and left. There was no conversation all the way. When he returned home, Ma Xiongfei was still worried: "Brother, can Jin Weixin really work hard to persuade His Highness the King of Jin?"
"Don't worry, he will never go to Jianchang."
"Why?"
"The thing behind this was something my virtuous son-in-law told me earlier."
Ma Xiongfei turned to Yang Zai in confusion. After hearing this, the latter recalled the connection between Jin Weixin and Jianchang, and immediately burst into laughter.
It turns out that the current Jianchang Commander-in-Chief Wang Piantou Wang Youde spent a lot of money to buy two beautiful concubines, but before they had time to enjoy them, they were snatched away by Wang Ziqi. That Wang Ziqi was Sun Kewang's trusted general, relying on Sun Kewang's
Wang Youde had no choice but to endure the situation when Sun Kewang was in power. When Wang Ziqi was killed and Sun Kewang was defeated, Wang Youde, who became the master, wanted to get the two beautiful concubines back, but he was
Jin Weixin strikes first to gain the upper hand.
For this reason, Wang Youde once ran to Li Dingguo and cried. At first, Li Dingguo did not agree. After finding out the situation, he had to ask Jin Weixin to return the two concubines to Wang Youde. However, the concubine he had spent a lot of money to buy was stolen.
Others have enjoyed it for so long, and it is inevitable to feel resentful. Now that Wang Ziqi is dead, this resentment has naturally been passed on to Jin Weixin. Previously, Wang Youde had promised to make Jin Weixin look good, and Jin Weixin had always relied on Li Dingguo's favor.
I’m not afraid, but if I enter someone else’s territory, wouldn’t they be able to knead it however they want?
This is no longer as simple as a thing in the crotch, it is a matter of face, and it may be a matter of life and death. Regarding Jin Weixin, Ma Jixiang was already at ease and sat comfortably on the Taishi chair.
