Hu Zhen was just a small editor of the Hanlin Academy, and she never thought that she would be lucky enough to be captured and cared for in the Jinyiwei Prison.
Under Xu Xianchun's torture interrogation, Hu Zhen told all the information she knew.
Anyway, he didn't participate, he just heard some rumors, so there was no need to suffer for something irrelevant.
"Your Majesty, according to what Na Hu Zhen said, something big will happen in the capital soon, and it will definitely shake up the country and change the color of the world."
"He doesn't know the other specific content of the news. He just heard a few words mentioned by others when he was drinking with several officials from the imperial court a few days ago."
Zhu Youxiao, who was lying on the throne, fell into deep thought after listening to Xu Xianchun's report.
A major event that can shake up the country and change the color of the world?
So what will happen?
He still recalled what happened recently, combined all these things together, and found that they seemed to be arranged regularly.
Moreover, Yang Hong, the commander-in-chief of Datong, also colluded with the civil servants in the DPRK.
There was also the sudden invasion of the Mongols, who won the battle but fled without a trace without taking anything or people.
There is mystery and conspiracy everywhere.
Moreover, this conspiracy is not aimed at the border town, nor is it targeting Jiangnan thousands of miles away, but right under his feet, the capital.
Otherwise, Hu Zhen would not have arranged for her family to return to their hometown in Jiangnan to stay temporarily to avoid trouble.
"Xu Xianchun, come and tell me what kind of big event must happen in the capital to shake up the country."
In fact, Zhu Youxiao already had an answer in his mind, but he still wanted to ask Xu Xianchun, who was on the outside, to hear his views and opinions.
Xu Xianchun was not prepared at all for the emperor's sudden question, and the expression on his face could not hide the look of struggle.
After seeing this, Zhu Youxiao said:
"Tell me, I won't blame you. Tell your truest thoughts without hiding anything."
Xu Xianchun hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind and said:
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, based on the current situation, nothing major will happen in the capital."
"But what Hu Zhen said is obviously not groundless. Someone in the court is brewing a conspiracy to counterattack His Majesty."
"So I guess that the only big thing that can happen is your Majesty."
Although Xu Xianchun's words were vague, they were also extremely obvious.
Unless something goes wrong with him as the emperor, the country will be shaken.
As for the world changing color, this sentence is also easy to understand. If the emperor is changed, won't the world also change its owner?
The reason why Xu Xianchun thinks so comes from the Hongwan case during the Taichang period.
At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, so he was naturally aware of the factional struggles in the court.
As for Emperor Taichang's sudden death, many people within the Jinyi Guards at that time suspected it was a conspiracy.
As the emperor's close ministers, they also have the power to supervise the ministers. How could they not understand such a major event?
It's just that they never had evidence and didn't dare to investigate, so no one dared to say anything.
At most, it's just chatting and gossiping in private with close relatives and friends.
In fact, even if they knew the truth, they would not dare to mention it.
Whoever mentions this kind of thing will definitely die, and he will definitely not survive the next day, so no one dares to touch this bad luck.
Today Xu Xianchun dared to tell the truth to remind Zhu Youxiao, firstly because the emperor had always had great trust in him.
Secondly, it was also because of the emperor's attitude towards the political situation and the attitude of civil and military officials.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's pupils shrank, and his murderous intention suddenly arose.
Xu Xianchun's words were indeed what he thought.
No wonder they wanted to unite with the nobles and contact Zhu Youjian. It turned out that they were thinking about how to kill him without anyone noticing so that he could be replaced as emperor.
It seems that I have always been too confident, thinking that the capital is already under control and these clowns cannot make any trouble.
I didn't expect them to have such courage. I really taught myself another lesson.
He had been thinking about how he could take advantage of the situation and catch them all in one fell swoop.
It's just that I have always suffered from not knowing their true intentions and purposes, and I have no way of starting.
I didn't expect the plot to be so big.
It now appears that the civil unrest in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi provinces, as well as the emergence of Deng Maoqi and pirates, were all planned.
And the people behind this are probably the local officials, gentry and wealthy families who planned and caused it.
It was indeed a good plan. First, he would cause trouble in the south to distract himself.
Then Yang Hong was asked to cause trouble in the border towns, leaving the officials in the capital with no time to take care of other things.
Judging from this, the so-called Mongol invasion is probably a fiction.
After thinking about all this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth.
This plan is really seamless and very thorough.
All this seems so natural to outsiders, and they would never imagine that it was caused by them, and they completely left themselves out of the matter.
Moreover, they have already decided on the candidate for succession, otherwise they would not have contacted Zhu Youjian.
Unfortunately, there are too many people participating and the area involved is too wide.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, the fire cannot be contained.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with their counterattack, Zhu Youxiao suddenly thought of the Tumu Fort Incident in the 14th year of Zhengtong.
How similar is the current situation to what Emperor Yingzong faced in the 14th year of orthodoxy?
There were also various rebellions and uprisings in the south, followed by fighting in border towns, and the Mongolian army suddenly attacked.
The only difference is that in the past fourteen years Orthodoxy has committed Wala.
Now Zhu Youxiao can finally understand why Emperor Yingzong was suddenly annihilated without warning in the pass.
It turned out that it was also a set-up, caused by the collusion between the capital and the border towns and the Mongols.
Then everything is clear. How could an unknown person on the grassland, with twenty to thirty thousand cavalry under his command, break through the Great Wall defense line heavily guarded by the Ming army?
Moreover, without the knowledge of the officers and soldiers of Datong and Xuanfu towns, they suddenly came to Emperor Yingzong's marching camp and were served with a pot.
It turns out that the emperor was betrayed.
In later generations, he was very strange. In the grasslands, people could not even fight the Mongols. Why did he suddenly feel like a god descending to earth?
You must know that in the Battle of Beijing, Ye Xian's Wala soldiers were beaten to pieces by the Ming army.
The difference between before and after was too great. The most elite troops of the Ming army could not defeat him, but they were hung up and beaten by the second-line troops.
It seems that they want to follow suit and follow in the footsteps of Emperor Yingzong.
Then have a good time with them, and you can also take advantage of your own opportunity to eliminate those officials who oppose you in the court.
