It was just getting dark when the sound of firecrackers started popping up outside.
It seems that after eating, the urchins from each family eagerly took the firecrackers and started competing.
It used to be just a few sporadic sounds, but now they are so continuous that even the Qianqing Palace can hear them.
The bastard stood under the eaves of the palace, glanced at the newly lit Qianqing Palace, turned to Deng Ping, who was watching the guards change their defenses, and said, "Why don't we hurry up?" Then he added, "Yesterday The sound rang in the middle of the night, and the miscellaneous family listened in the outer room as the emperor turned over several times, he must have not slept well!"
Deng Ping frowned and pondered, "Manager Wang, this... the emperor has to speak!" He said, and then said, "Most of the people living around the root of the imperial city are veterans who followed the emperor in the past. When the old man was here, during the New Year, People were not allowed to set off cannons..."
The bastard glanced at him and said, "Do you think I am afraid that they will disturb the purity of Long live the Lord?" Then he lowered his voice and said, "Don't you understand that you miss people when you see things?"
Deng Ping was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
The palace has been deserted for almost ten years.
At first, Emperor Xiaokangxing passed away, and there were no cannons and no excitement for several years. Emperor Taizu Gao passed away again this year. Manager Wang was worried that the emperor would hear the commotion outside and think of the old man and Emperor Xiaokangxing, which made him feel uncomfortable!
"I will personally take people there later and tell them door to door to stay away!"
The bastard nodded and was about to speak when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"Prince-in-law, why are you here?"
Hu Guan, the consort, came in from outside the Qianqing Gate, feeling cold all over his body.
"Your Majesty, are you waiting impatiently?" Hu Guan stretched out his head and tiptoed to glance in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and whispered, "When the palace people came to my home to look for me, I was checking the fine materials warehouse of Guanglu Temple... This That’s just a waste of time!”
"Hurry up!" Bastard urged, but he also smiled, "But we found a few more moths!"
"Hi!" Hu Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Wealth and silk are touching people's hearts..." He said, sighing, "Some petty officials teamed up with the eunuchs from Guanglu Temple to steal the good medicinal materials and seafood from the fine materials warehouse. Go out a lot..."
The bastard was just about to speak when his mind suddenly started to spin.
Then he said with a sullen face, "Does Eunuch Park know about this?"
Pu Bucheng is the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and is in charge of all the eunuchs inside and outside the palace except the bastard.
"I've already informed him!" Hu Guan was stupid at first, but after years of experience, he has learned a lot and said haha.
~~
"My lord, please see the emperor!"
The lights in the Qianqing Palace were a little dim. Zhu Yunxi was sitting at the dining table, eating a bowl of spinach soup and sipping a milk-scented silver flower roll.
"Why did you come?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Hu Guan stood up, took a few steps forward and bowed, saying, "There are spies coming from Annan. I want to ask questions in person, so I wasted some time. Please forgive me, Lord Long Live!"
What he did just now was a perfunctory bastard! He didn't go to the information warehouse at all, but went to meet people!
"How do you say it?" Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and took a sip of soup.
"Annanquan thought that Li Jiyou had indeed taken action. He was originally a relative of the royal family of the Chen Dynasty in Annan. He killed King Chen of Annan and established himself as king, with the name Dayu!" Hu Guan whispered, "This man is also cruel and ruthless. , King Annan Chen was still his son-in-law, and he just had him hanged to death!"
Zhu Yunxi put down the soup bowl and asked, "What's the reaction in Annan?"
"No one dares to react! The Li thieves are trying their best to hunt down the members of the royal family named Chen!" Hu Guan continued, "Annan's general is named Ruan. He holds military power. He is the same as the Li thieves and has already turned against him!" After saying that, he paused.
After a pause, "This Li thief is Sima Yi of Annan... All the civil and military officials of Annan belong to him!"
"What else did the spy say?" Zhu Yunxi continued to think thoughtfully.
Hu Guan whispered, "One of the spies placed by Qingyan in Annan married the daughter of the first staff member of the Li shogunate. The news he inquired about said that the Li thief is now vigorously collecting the Chen clan's remaining ministers, waiting for these
After killing everyone, in the name of King Annan Chen’s heir, he submitted a letter to me, asking his second son Han Cang to inherit the throne of Annan Kingdom in the name of the nephew of King Annan Chen!”
"The reason why the agreement with Annan is so happy this time is because this thief wants to paralyze our court. At the same time... they also want to use troops to capture the city!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Are you asking me, Da Ming, to bully me and then turn around and bully others to regain my reputation?"
He said seriously, "Is the news about Annan's use of troops to capture the city accurate?"
"It's absolutely true, Annan has begun to mobilize troops and horses!" Hu Guan said in a low voice.
Zhu Yunxi tapped his slender fingers on the table, lost in thought.
This is a good thing!
Champa was also a nominal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it was one of the fifteen countries that the old man had decided not to conquer.
"Country without conquest" has long become an antonym. In Zhu Yunxi's view, the fifteen countries without conquest set by the old man must be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But the Ming Dynasty can conquer it, so who do you think Annan is?
You are also my vassal state. If you go to beat up another vassal state of mine, you are being rebellious!
Since then, the use of troops against Annan has become more famous.
"Your Majesty, what's the next step?" Hu Guan muttered.
"Keep staring!" Zhu Yunxi dragged his chin with one hand, "Just one spy who broke into the Li shogunate is not enough. Don't be afraid of spending money. The higher the status of the spy, the better!"
"I understand!" Hu Guan said hurriedly.
"Also!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "Don't leak the news that Annan is about to use troops to occupy the city!"
Hu Guan thought about it and whispered, "Just watch him get beaten first?"
"Well... wait until he asks for help from our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Let the people with blue eyes in Annan choose one or two children of the Annan Chen Dynasty royal family to protect them..."
"According to the order!" Hu Guan was a little confused, "Do you want to send it to the capital?"
"Tsk..." Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, "You haven't made any progress after such a long time?"
"I am stupid and unworthy of development. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Keep it first, and then send it to the capital when it's time!" Zhu Yunxi said.
Now, I just stand aside and watch the internal fighting in Annan.
When the credential of the Annanli thief was presented, Zhu Yunxi pretended not to know about it. Not only did he accept it, but he also personally canonized him!
Then after Zhu Yunxi, the Ming Emperor, canonized the new king of Annan, he suddenly asked the orphan of the Chen Dynasty of Annan to appear and ask me, Ming Dynasty, to make the decision for him.
Then the Ming Dynasty reprimanded the Li thieves as the suzerain state, and sent troops to send the orphans of the Chen Dynasty back to inherit the orthodox position of Annan.
Can Thief Li submit obediently? Of course he can't!
Probably when the orphan of the Chen Dynasty royal family reaches the border, the Annan people will kill them all together with the soldiers escorting him!
Then the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was furious... He sent a million troops to sweep across Annan...
As for whether the Li thieves had the courage to send troops to ambush and kill all the Ming Dynasty soldiers, that actually doesn't matter at all.
If he doesn't kill him, Zhu Yunxi will send people... to cause a tragedy.
In the original time and space, Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was like this, leading the Annan Li Dynasty to destruction step by step.
In the end, Thief Li and his whole family were captured by the Ming army and taken to Yingtian Mansion, where they were cut to pieces with thousands of swords!
The Chen Dynasty of Annan was extinct, and the traitorous ministers who usurped the throne were also exterminated.
If none of you are kings anymore, what will happen?
I, Ming, am a little tired, so those who can do more work!
"The spies from Champa and Ailao (Laos) are also about to move!" Zhu Yunxi added, "These two countries are next to Annan and are often bullied. From now on, we will not tell them that Annan is going to use troops against them, but
To create an atmosphere of Annan’s ambition..."
After saying that, Zhu Yunxi said, "When necessary, you can let the blue-eyed person say that he is my secret envoy!"
"I obey the decree!"
After Hu Guan retreated, another person quietly appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi.
Monk Guo!
He stood there with his head lowered and said nothing, waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak.
"Get ready!" Zhu Yunxi whispered, "March...in March, let a few of our businessmen from Ming Dynasty in Annan disappear for no reason!"
It doesn't matter whether he is really missing or fake. What is important is that the emperor said he was missing.
Guo Guanseng was smarter than Hu Guan. "I understand!" he said, thinking about it, "we can also cause a few merchants from our dynasty to be blackmailed to death by Annan officials, or merchant ships to be robbed!"
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It's good to draw inferences from one example!"
