In the small courtyard of the General's Mansion, Jian Chuan saw Li Qiangwei who was pruning flowers and plants. She should be Li Qiangwei. Her appearance, figure, makeup and hair were all the same. Her eyes were beautiful, but they were not as deep and deep as the abyss.
Wisdom, so she is not Li Qiangwei.
With such a trump card, it only takes a moment for Jian Chuan to be there, and he might have the opportunity to use his understanding of Li Qiangwei to discover the clues immediately. Zongze is not familiar with Li Qiangwei, so this oversight is understandable.
.
After all, who would have thought that Li Qiangwei would have such a trump card, let alone that she could bear to use it until now.
In this case, Jian Chuan took a deep breath, forced to calm down, looked directly into the eyes of the woman in front of him, and said, "Tell me, what did Li Qiangwei leave for me?"
The man looked a little surprised, then suddenly realized, smiled beautifully, and said: "Master said that I can deceive everyone, but I can't deceive King Jianchuan of Yongchuan. Sure enough, haha, master asked me to bring a message to you, saying that since you
I gave her a big gift, and the courtesy was reciprocated. The slave family is the master's return gift, and from then on, the slave family is the king's people."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan was silent, but Zong Ze was shocked: "What, she is not Li Qiangwei, how is it possible?"
Jian Chuan waved his hand and said, "Just leave, it doesn't matter."
However, Zongze couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? How is it possible? When did she drop the bag?"
Jian Chuan sighed: "The day she stops making noises, this person will no longer be the same person. Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. This woman is so cunning that no one in the world can match her. Even if I am here, I'm afraid...
He will also fall into her trap."
In this case, Zongze was very angry, but he asked: "Where did you get such a generous gift?"
Jian Chuan smiled and said: "Haha, what a generous gift. She had already expected that my ultimate target was Xingqing Mansion. Once Xingqing Mansion was captured by me, she could use the name of King Qin to consolidate the strength of the army.
I'm afraid that by this time, he will already be the uncrowned king of the Xixia army."
Hearing this, Zongze looked horrified, but he blamed himself even more. However, he couldn't figure out that Jian Chuan's ultimate goal was that even his elder brother didn't know about it in advance. How did Li Qiangwei know about it?
, what a guess. Is this possible?
This is also Jian Chuan's question. Is it really a guess? Is it possible? Or is it possible that she already knew his entire plan in advance? Please note that Jian Chuan has only told the whole story to two people. One is
The empress dowager, and the other is the young emperor Zhao Xu. So, could it be one of the two? Or maybe the two are conspiring.
Unexpectedly, the cloned version of Li Qiangwei in front of him smiled and said: "The master is not a god after all, how could she guess it? Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, who else knows about you besides you?
What’s the plan?”
Hearing this, Zongze's expression suddenly changed and his eyes were frightened. However, Jianchuan narrowed his eyes and warned sinisterly: "I guess Li Qiangwei didn't teach you to say this. Haha, don't be smart, and
, just this once, if you dare to do it again, I will be killed."
Then he turned to Zongze and said, "Brother, don't be suspicious, it's absolutely impossible."
"Why?" Zongze asked blurtly, but he regretted it immediately after asking, because this question was undoubtedly suspicious of the emperor.
Fortunately, Jian Chuan asked, and Jian Chuan gave a strong answer: "Although this woman has great energy, she has not made any great achievements so far. Therefore, she has no negotiating capital. With her scheming,
It is absolutely impossible to take such a sudden risk, so it is absolutely impossible.”
Hearing this, Zongze kept silent and finally stopped asking. He entered the main hall side by side with Jian Chuan. After sitting down, he said: "Since the fifth brother has returned to Yongle City, I should lead the army and leave soon."
Jian Chuan didn't want to but said with a smile: "My eldest brother, don't you understand why I suggested that the imperial court transfer you to Yongle City?"
Seeing the confusion in Zongze's eyes, Jian Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zongze was good at everything and was undoubtedly an excellent commander, but he lacked political acumen and was far inferior to Qiu Lanxi and Ge Chunzhu, so he could only explain: "
Brother, Chao
The imperial court will not order you to leave Yongle City, but I am afraid that the imperial edict calling you back to the capital will arrive in a few days, and not only the younger brother, but also Yan Yunjun will be transferred with him. When the time comes, Yongle City will
I have to rely on you, second brother."
Although Zongze lacked political acumen, he was undoubtedly a very smart person. Therefore, he immediately understood that there was no need to worry about talking to Jian Chuan: "Yes, the suspicion of the fifth brother's high achievements in shaking the master is getting stronger, and the court does not trust you.
It is not difficult to understand why the Yanyun Army was transferred on the border. How could the Yanyun Army be transferred to frighten the two countries of Xia and Liaoning?"
Jian Chuan sighed and said: "Since ancient times, when generals are outside, the emperor's orders have not been accepted. It is probably because the families of the generals and soldiers are all within the territory and scattered in all directions. Therefore, they are bound to each other. It is easy for them to devote themselves to their lives. Naturally, the emperor can rest assured. But the eldest brother also
I know that the officers and soldiers of the Yanyun Army are all criminals, and their loyalty to the Song Dynasty is indispensable.
Criticism, and the imperial court was unwilling to resettle the families who had redeemed themselves with military merit, so they sent them all to Yongle City. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for soldiers to drag their families and their families to guard the border. Therefore, either these more than 100,000 people should be sent to Yongle City.
Move to the mainland, or transfer Yan Yun's army to him, what do you think the court will choose?"
Hearing this, Zongze frowned, obviously not expecting that the matter was so complicated, and said: "But if such an iron-blooded army does not fight on the battlefield, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources? Is the imperial court willing to do so?"
Jian Chuan smiled and said: "Haha, are you willing to give up? Of course you are willing to give up. At this time, most of the officials reporting to the court are probably racking their brains on how to disband the Yanyun Army. After all, what I, the Song Dynasty, have always believed in since the beginning of the Song Dynasty
Using culture to control military force, Emperor Taizu even made a rule not to kill scholar-officials. However, the current momentum of the Yanyun Army has shaken the majesty of the scholar-official class. It would be strange if they did not suppress it."
Zongze suddenly said anxiously: "How can that be done? Absolutely not possible. Fifth brother, you must have something to do."
Jian Chuan didn't want to think about it, but he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Second brother thinks too highly of my younger brother. The strategy of governing the country that has been entrenched for more than a hundred years cannot be solved by me alone, nor can it be solved in one day. My younger brother returns to Beijing this time, can I keep it?"
The formation of Yanyun Army is pretty good. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time. There is no other way."
"I'm afraid fifth brother's life will be very difficult when he returns to Beijing this time."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan laughed loudly and said, "Why did the second brother say this? With my current position of power, how dare anyone dare to make me angry? I'm not in Beijing. I can't control what they say.
I don’t want to be in the official position either. If I go back to Beijing, who would dare to gossip and think that my life will be too long?”
"Don't be so careless. You must be careful and enter the venue to write a letter to my brother."
"Second brother, don't worry, I know what's going on."
“So best.”
"It's just that I still have many unfinished plans in Yongle City, so I can only leave it to my second brother."
"Fifth brother, don't worry. I will do my best for my brother. And with my fifth brother plundering the battlefield in Bianjing, I will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
…
It turned out just as Jian Chuan expected. Only three days after returning to Yongle City in triumph, the imperial edict arrived. First, there was a feast of useless praises, and at the end, with an understatement, he called all the Yanyun Army to Beijing to receive rewards.
Everyone, including Jian Chuan.
Without any delay, after receiving the imperial edict, Jian Chuan led Yan Yun's army to rush to the gate of Bianjing City in just eight hours. At this time, the official delivering the edict was still halfway there.
Darling, I frightened all the officials in court. What was going on? Could it be that I wanted to enter the palace in Yongle City?
In the court hall, the young emperor looked gloomy and asked the officials in a cold voice: "If King Yongchuan really has evil intentions, can you guys have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
No one dared to answer. After a long while, he actually came up with an eye-opening suggestion: "King Yongchuan's achievements are unparalleled in the world. To show the sincerity of the court, I would like to ask your majesty to come out of the city to welcome you."
It would have been better not to say this. After saying this, the little emperor suddenly couldn't hold back his anger. He threw the memorial in his hand at the person and shouted angrily: "Trash, idiot, Qiu Lanxi, this person was recommended by you, right?" ,Are you blind?"
Qiu Lanxi immediately knelt down and bowed his head to plead guilty. He was filled with hatred because the little emperor was right. He was so blind. Why did he recommend such a stupid waste snack?
This is clearly a handle given by Jian Chuan. You actually asked the young emperor to go out of the city to greet you. If you really leave the city, wouldn't all Jian Chuan's hard work be in vain?
At this moment, Qiu Lanxi quickly winked at Ge Chunzhu, because he knelt down, Jian Chuan's painstaking efforts could not be in vain, and besides him, Qiu Lanxi, only Ge Chunzhu was most suitable to step forward.
Ge Chunzhu understood immediately and immediately went out to remonstrate: "Our court was ordered to march and the marching speed was strictly regulated. King Yongchuan actually rushed to the gate of Bianjing in eight hours. He ignored the law, ignored the majesty of the court, and took credit for his arrogance. This made people and gods angry. , I request that Your Majesty should be beheaded for the most serious act of disrespect as a warning to others."
Hearing this, those who were close to Jian Chuan showed no expression on their faces and turned a deaf ear to it. Most of the others bared their teeth and grinned. What the hell, beheading? To set an example? Are you kidding me?
Of course, even in this court where world affairs are decided, jokes are sometimes necessary. However, jokes are jokes, but you can’t really laugh. So, the little emperor pretended to be embarrassed: "Uncle Wang didn’t think about it, but It’s definitely not intentional, and besides, Uncle Wang is the greatest contributor to our dynasty, so how can he punish crimes at will.”
Ge Chunzhu immediately said with great righteousness: "Gong is merit, fault is fault, merit is rewarded, and fault is punished. This is the way to govern the country. Therefore, I ask your majesty to punish Jianchuan for the crime of disrespect."
"My lord, I second the proposal."
"My lord, I second the proposal."
…
Look at these seconders, they are all from Qiu Lan, Xige Chunzhu and his group, while the old and new parties sat up and watched without saying a word, just pretending to be watching the show.
Then, after a lot of pushing and pulling, the little emperor was resolute and unwilling to punish Jian Chuan. However, the actors led by Ge Chunzhu argued hard and did not hesitate to remonstrate, so the little emperor was in trouble for a long time, and finally issued an order to reprimand Jian Chuan. He was proud of his merits and despised the emperor's kindness, so he was imprisoned for three months and punished for three years to set an example. As for the reward, we will discuss it after the confinement is over.
