Early the next morning, civil and military officials dressed in official and military uniforms came to Chengtian Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang got very drunk with Tang He last night. When he got up in the morning, his head was slightly dizzy. He drank the hangover soup and became sober.
After some delay, when we arrived at Chengtian Hall, it was only a quarter of an hour before the court meeting began.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he was stunned.
Suddenly, many chairs were placed in the hall, arranged neatly, and many officials were pointing at the chairs and talking about them.
Obviously, these chairs are prepared for ministers, and many ministers have joy on their faces.
During the Tang Dynasty, ministers would kneel and sit on mats when they went to court. In the Song Dynasty, they changed to standing. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, ministers kneeled down to report.
Now that the emperor has given the ministers seats, he obviously does not intend to imitate the bad habits brought by the Mongols and restore the etiquette of his predecessors, so the ministers are naturally happy.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a military general and was used to standing, so he didn't care about this. He was more concerned about why the emperor suddenly held a court meeting.
Among the ministers, Geng Si was the most well-informed, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not familiar with him, and Geng Si was surrounded by Wang Da and Geng San, so it was inconvenient to question him.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tuo Liebo and Kong Xing are relatively strong, and it will be useful to win them over. The first choice is Qin Ming'ai and Li Shanchang!"
It was just after the Youshi hour, and the sky was hazy. The lights of the Zhennan Palace were first dimmed, and the gate of the palace was full of carriages. It was quiet and ordinary.
Since before becoming the prime minister, what else could Bo Luo Shihua do? Every night, she would hold a grand banquet in the mansion.
Polo Shihua immediately came to the water pavilion with me, screened in the others, and asked: "What's wrong? Has your Majesty sent another message?"
Geng Ba whispered: "As long as we hit you, you will definitely lose it!"
Qin Mingai said loudly: "In my opinion, the Yuan Dynasty is more troubled than you at the moment, so you can't just wait and see what happens and act proactively."
Zhang Yangquan asked: "What seven forces?"
Zhang Yangquan looked at Qin Mingai and said, "What do Liu Qing think?"
The only thing these people have in common is that they all have no money!
Zhang Yangquan nodded and said: "Isn't the seventh warlord Li Shanchang who fought with Liu Bowen?"
As long as the price is comfortable, Polo will do whatever you ask for.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhang Liangbi's opinion was adopted again, he felt relieved and hurried out of the queue.
Before the court meeting, Zhang Yangquan left Mu'er alone and asked me to send a message to Polo Shihua, prompting the Yuan Dynasty to divide its troops to attack Jinzhou and Xuzhou!
Zhang Liangbi said: "The fight between you and the Yuan army now is not a fight over one city or one place. It is necessary to attack Bianliang now!"
Chen Ji suddenly said: "You have met Liu Bowen. This man is extremely shrewd. If we send people there, if the number of people is slow, we will be sent to Xiaodu!"
"Hu Weiyong!"
Li Siqi's eyes flashed. I didn't mean it when Bo Luo was killed, but I thought that expanding the country and disbanding the army would help the prince ascend the throne!
"Yes, Li Shanchangxiong is occupying Lantian. This person is old, but his courage is unstoppable. He once defeated Qin Mingai. My territory is in Guandong. If you want to contact me, you can give priority to this person!"
Yahansha was about to speak again when he suddenly saw the palace steward running over along the water corridor and immediately stopped talking.
Zhang Yangquan nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Now that we are in contact with Yu Xian, let's get to know each other quickly. When the time comes in the future, it will be less difficult to win over each other!"
Zhang Liangbi said: "Jinzhou has just achieved a small victory, so the biggest question before Yuan Ting is whether to attack Xuzhou first or recover Jinzhou first!"
Zhang Liang had a plan in mind and said: "This is good or bad. We have no limit to our troops now. If we divide our troops to attack, we will only carry firewood at the top and lose it at both ends!"
Liang Rong praised: "Bianliang is now well-defended and difficult to attack. If we wait for the Yuan army to move south, it will be difficult to attack again!"
As long as you earn a small amount of money, even if you have enough merit in the future, you will be able to buy the Zhennan Palace in Jiangdu Prefecture.
Polo's face darkened and he reprimanded: "Did I, the king, say so? You must not disturb me when you are discussing matters in the water pavilion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said: "Now choose Qin Ming'ai! This person is old and has difficulties! And my territory is the closest to us. As long as we build Bianliang, it will border me!"
Qin Ming loved to say: "While we wait and see what happens, we can't send out detailed plans to provoke internal fighting in the Yuan Dynasty again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "It is this man. Before Chahan's death, I, the Man Yuan Emperor, handed over the military power to Kuakuo and led his troops back to Fengxiang in anger."
Luo Guanzhong strode out of the line and said loudly: "If the Yuan army goes south, it is too late to attack Bianliang now. If they attack Bianliang and then lose it, they will gain and lose again. This is how we attack!" p>
Zhang Yangquan looked at Qin Ming'ai, coughed, interrupted everyone's argument, and said, "Liu Qing, what does he think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "I accept the order!"
Yahansha nodded and said: "The problem is still with Kuo Kuo. Next time I go to court, I will propose to assemble the entire country's troops to attack Jiangdu Prefecture!"
The steward said slowly: "Your Majesty has sent a decree that tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, a court meeting will be held in Xiaoming Hall!"
In this way, the Yuan Dynasty almost weathered the crisis peacefully, and there was not even a change of throne.
Zhang Liangbi continued: "I think we can continue to use the strategy that will be determined later, and use the location advantage of Jinzhou to mobilize the Yuan army to run north and south, waiting for opportunities to consume our strength!"
Xiaodu, Zhennan Palace.
The guests invited are the same every time. Sometimes they are clan nobles, sometimes they are court officials, sometimes they are wealthy businessmen and gentry.
Yahansha suddenly walked back from the door, with a serious look on his face, and winked at me.
Zhang Yangquan finally nodded and asked: "In his opinion, who should I win over first?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "As far as I know, after a year of melee, the warlords in Guanzhong have not yet formed the seven most harmonious forces, and they are not at the disposal of the Yuan court and cannot be drawn together!"
As soon as Chen hour arrived, Zhang Yangquan walked back from the corner gate and went down to the throne platform, where all the ministers came together to greet him.
Liang Rong suddenly said: "Our territory is all connected to us, I'm afraid they will join us!"
Chen Ji laughed and said: "As you see, we and Yu Hui will divide our forces. One force will attack Jinzhou, and another force will attack Xuzhou!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Looking around, he suddenly saw Li Shanchang talking to Liu Weiyong, the Minister of Punishment, and walked towards the two of them.
Yahansha said loudly: "Your Majesty asked us to find a way to let Yuan Ting divide his troops to attack Jinzhou and Xuzhou!"
Every time we come here, we will give you a generous gift. Polo is from Huatu, not a gift from others.
Zhang Yangquan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't this the person who had the same relationship with Chahan and Geng Si? The public is Li Po and the scale is Li Miao?"
"Geng Qing, let him tell Xiaojia the latest news from the back line!"
"First of all, the weakest one is Liu Bowen, Duke of Pi. My territory is centered on Fengxiang, located to the west of Guanzhong. I have 100,000 troops to guard the passage into Shu."
"You must be polite, please sit down and talk." Zhang Yangquan waved his hands.
Polo Shihua snorted and said: "I was just daydreaming. Not to mention that your Majesty, now the prince is willing to hand over all his troops to my hands!"
Bo Luo Shihua smiled and said: "As for He Yu, you see, Tuo Huan originally wanted to divide his forces!"
Whether they knew it or not, the civil and military officials started arguing again, and it seemed that every court meeting would develop in that direction.
"How to say?"
Li Shanchang smiled and said: "There is news from Dadu that Boluo Timur was assassinated, and Kuangke Timur disbanded his army outside Dadu. The chaos in Dadu has been put down!"
……
Before the banquet started, Polo Shihua counted the gifts and found that he had made several thousand taels of silver in one night. Shijin was secretly angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We send people to win over, and even if we succeed, we cannot deliberately leak that matter in the future to cause suspicion within the Yuan army!"
Ma Yulin said in a low voice: "It is true that the Yuan Dynasty only superficially lifted the unity, but in fact the hidden dangers are getting deeper and deeper. You should continue to wait and see!"
Zhang Yangquan thought for a while and said: "That bad guy, Li Qing, let him be responsible for contacting Li Shanchang. In addition, he and Yu Shun should stop trying to find out some information about Guanzhong!"
Next, we will definitely use troops against ourselves again, so no wonder the emperor wants to hold a court meeting!
Wang Xiao immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since the Tatars are in internal strife, we should take advantage of Bianliang and Yu to quickly send troops to recover Bianliang!"
Bianliang has always been a symbol in the hearts of the Han people. It seems that as long as Bianliang is destroyed, there is no hope of restoring the Han people.
Polo Shihua waved his hand and said: "I know, let's go up!"
Mu'er promised, stood up, and explained Xiaodu's situation in detail. It was exactly the same as what Zhu Yuanzhang just said, except that Polo was a flower.
Zhang Liangbi pondered and said: "I don't think I can give it a try. Even if I can persuade us to join, I can't try to make us split up and fight against Geng Si!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little worried, fearing that Zhang Yangquan would hand over the errand to Zhang Liangbi, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't have anyone at my disposal to complete this task!"
Zhang Yangquan said: "Why contact us?"
Guo Niansheng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, whether it is successful or not, we all suffer!"
The bad generals immediately echoed.
Zhang Yangquan sat forward, and the ministers sat down one after another.
That evening, Polo Shihua entertained another group of businessmen. The businessmen were the most willing to spend money, and they also had a sweet mouth and were very comfortable flattering people.
"Does he also support holding back or taking action?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "There are not two yet?"
"Who?"
Zhang Yangquan said with a smile: "It doesn't make sense. As long as we are annexed by Kuakuo, there will be a confrontation situation, and then Kuakuo's situation will get worse and worse!"
Zhang Yangquan whispered: "This is bad, let's continue to follow our future strategy and stick to Xuzhou!"
"Your Majesty, I think we cannot send people to contact the warlords in Guanzhong!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and said: "The other two people are located in the north. One is called Tuoliebo and the other is Kong Xing. They were originally subordinates of Dafa Sidulu. Before Dafa Siduulu died, the two of them became independent!" Zhang Yangquan pondered these words.
"Mr. Li, do you know why His Majesty suddenly convened a court meeting?"
Of course, the other party will also make some appropriate requests, such as monopolizing the market, sealing down the opponent's shop, recruiting people outside the prison, and letting the children of the family join the officialdom.
