The words "The King is dead" suddenly made everyone in the palace quiet down.
Deathly silence.
But the King of Siam was clearly not dead.
At this time, the King of Siam was bleeding from his abdomen, so he desperately covered his abdomen and just looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
He opened his mouth, and blood overflowed from his mouth.
But at this time, no one paid attention to him.
The expressions of these people who once respected him as a god were indifferent at this time.
Then another person jumped out and hit the King of Siam on the head with a golden melon.
Boom...
Blood mist filled the air, and yellow and white things splashed.
The man holding the golden melon was actually a waiter. At this time, he wiped the blood from his face with no expression on his face.
The King of Siam just groaned and died completely.
…………
In the Special Thousand Household Office.
King Zhu Zheng of Yi paced back and forth.
He is used to sealing himself here.
This time, Zhang Anshi came again.
"Why is there still no movement? It's been so long, do you know what others think of me?"
Zhang Anshi looked very irritable.
"It should be soon."
Compared to Zhang Anshi, Zhu was very calm and said: "If it really doesn't work, there is still a backup plan."
"What does it mean it should be soon?" Zhang Anshi stared at Zhu Dao closely.
Zhu Bian said: "I sent people to bribe the ministers of Siam."
"Besides that, I had the eminent monk of Wat Pho killed."
"Our people hiding in Siam will also start setting fires and causing chaos at the same time."
"There are also the Khmers. I promise the Khmers that as long as they take action, I will not only give them enough money, but also even if they fail, the chiefs of the rebellious tribes will also be sent to Ming Dynasty to arrange a way out for them."
Zhang Anshi frowned: "Are these enough?"
"If these are not enough, there are still other ways. We can also...find a way to secretly transport a large amount of gunpowder to create chaos at all times. We can also let people spread more rumors, specifically targeting the Siamese leader, or even...
...You can also bribe their waiters... In short, with all available methods, the King of Siam has no chance of winning."
Zhu continued confidently: "As long as we distinguish Siam's scholars, farmers, industry, merchants, and military and civilians from the King of Siam and take different measures, then civil strife in Siam will only be a matter of time."
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say: "This move... is quite interesting... but..."
Zhu raised his eyes and said, "But what?"
Zhang Anshi smiled, but shook his head.
Zhu felt that there was something in Zhang Anshi's words, but he couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Anshi said: "Having said that, if there is no more news, I can't let go of my face."
Zhu thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, if it doesn't succeed this time, I have also arranged for a few passers-by. This Siam Kingdom is like a door. No matter how strong the door is, as long as we keep attacking with the car, it will
Sooner or later, one day we will break through."
Zhang Anshi shook his head, and he saw Zhu's eyes seemed to be shining brightly.
This guy... seems to have a natural sensitivity to snooping and sabotage.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but think that if Emperor Taizu Gao knew that he had such a son, he wouldn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
"Captain, Your Majesty has invited you."
At this moment, a school captain came in a hurry.
Zhang Anshi did not dare to neglect, waved to Zhu, and immediately left, rushing to the palace to see him.
In the literary building.
In a blink of an eye, the eleventh year of Yongle is coming.
It was extremely cold at this time of year, and Zhu Di was currently nestling on the soft cushion, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The great scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion and the ministers of various ministries were all standing here with bated breath.
Zhu Di saw a memorial, which was about Siam.
Zhu Di frowned, looking very unhappy.
Seeing Zhang Anshi coming, Zhu Di only raised his head and said: "Come here, read it to Zhang Qing."
After Yi Shiha listened, he picked up the memorial and read: "I, Liu Xian, the deputy governor of Annan, wrote this memorial."
Originally the deputy governor of Annan was Yang Shiqi, but now that Yang Shiqi has gone to Xinzhou as governor, Liu Xian will succeed him.
"The Ming Dynasty abandoned its previous resentment towards Siam, so it sent monks from Jiming Temple to Siam to make peace. The original intention was to make the King of Siam know the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, repent, and surrender since then. However, the King of Siam not only did not do this, but dared to...
"
Zhang Anshi said quickly: "Your Majesty, I already know about this matter."
Zhu Di said: "I want the emperor to go on a personal expedition, but the Qing family said no. But why did the Jin Yiwei secretly arrange for monks to go to Siam to negotiate peace? It was just a peace negotiation, but the Siamese refused to enter the country, which embarrassed the Ming Dynasty. I
...When I learned about this, I felt like a lump in my throat. How can I, the majestic emperor, save my face? Is this the idea of that boy Zhu?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di shook his head: "Don't always say good things for him. He lost his father when he was young. Well, I am his elder brother and raise him. If he thinks the palace is not good, that's fine. In order to temper him, let him go.
He wanted to do something big, so Zhang Qing recommended me, so I agreed. No matter what, he will always be my younger brother, and as an elder brother, I will bear with him for a long time.
Second, there is nothing wrong with that. But to make peace without permission and to humiliate the King of Siam so much, this... ugh..."
Zhu Di's expression at this time was quite a bit like he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
So Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "This is His Highness King Yi's plan."
"He has a plan." Zhu Di said angrily.
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Annan's side is very dissatisfied now. As I said... it has been delayed for so long, it is better to continue to march..."
Zhang Anshi knew Zhu Gaoxu. His Royal Highness, the King of Han, was probably as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in Annan. He wished he could continue to raise troops and march into Siam.
It was just because Jin Yiwei took over that he had to endure it.
But his patience was limited, so on the surface it was the Lieutenant Governor who submitted the petition, but I am afraid that this was the meaning of the entire Governor's Mansion.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu is not a fool. He will not be so stupid as to raise his own troops. The King of Siam is not a small role either. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu is probably hoping that His Majesty will issue an edict, and then all the overseas vassal kings will join forces. Get the copy guy.
What's more, King Shen's leg injury has healed now. If things don't go smoothly, King Shen can still cut off the queen.
I saw Zhu Di continue to say: "I originally wanted to conquer Siam personally, but it is really not suitable for a big war in Siam. Therefore, I plan to order all the kings to join forces to join the army. King Zhao, King Zhou, King Shen, King Tang, and King Ning have all submitted letters. , sharpening the sword, I plan to give them a chance, here I will provide them with some military supplies, and over at Qixia, I will provide them with more firearms, what do you think?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the kings brought not many troops to the overseas towns. Since they wanted to suppress the surrounding natives, they had no spare power. So they sent a large number of troops to Siam. I feel that, I thought Jin Yiwei's side... was more secure."
Zhu Di was thoughtful and said: "Jin Qing is the Minister of War, shouldn't he say something?"
Jin Zhong thought about it, and actually felt that as long as His Majesty did not personally conquer the country, everything else was easy to say, so King Yi was indeed unreliable, and if the kings marched, the court would not have to lose anything anyway.
So he said: "Your Majesty is very wise, and Duke Wei has always been far-sighted. I believe that your Majesty is well aware of everything, and Duke Wei's method is also reasonable."
Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "What do you mean?"
"This..." Jin Zhong said: "Of course your Majesty is more skilled."
Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "I don't think you have a background as a calligrapher, but rather as a eunuch."
Jin Zhong was actually happy and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay for me to test my calligraphy, and it's okay to serve Your Majesty."
His words made Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile: "Damn, how come there aren't many of my ministers who are in good shape?"
After that, he said: "Forget it, that boy Zhu, I am a little angry just thinking about him, but no matter what, he is also my brother. He is just a little confused. It is rare that the Zhang Qing family always admires him. Word."
…………
At this moment, an express message, together with a box, traveled 800 miles through the courier and arrived in Qixia.
The knight who delivered the message roared past and rode straight into the special Qianhu Station.
When he arrived at Qianhusuo Yamen Hall, the knight almost fell off his horse, but the school captain had already held his horse, and someone helped him dismount.
This one looked extremely tired and panted: "Hurry up, hurry up..."
Immediately afterwards, the man was carried into Zhu's duty room.
Zhu Dao: "Is it important military information?"
General military intelligence, although it is urgent, is only sent to the Military Intelligence Bureau for screening and sorting.
And this kind of news that requires thousands of households to read directly is often the most important news.
"Qianhu, please take a look."
A letter was delivered to Zhu.
Zhu opened it and took a look, but there was not much change on his face, but he just said: "Sure enough... it's this person."
Zhu then looked at the visitor and asked, "Where are the things in the letter?"
The man took off a bundle and presented it to him.
The bundle was opened and there were two boxes. One of them was a large box. Someone opened it, and then... a human head immediately made Zhu turn his face.
Like Zhang Anshi, he has a kind heart and cannot bear to see such a scene.
Another small box contained a gold seal.
This seal has a great origin, as it was given by Emperor Taizu Gao.
The words "Treasure of the King of Siam" are written on it.
When everyone saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They all said: "Congratulations Qianhu."
Zhu Qi sighed: "This King of Siam is very brave, but in other aspects, he is very lacking. I haven't used a real killing move yet."
Everyone laughed, and a member of the Hundred Households said excitedly: "The Grand Master is really very discerning, and he left this job to our special Thousand Households Office..."
Zhu Que smiled and said, "Do you think the Grand Master can't accomplish such a thing?"
"Ah...this..."
In the whole matter, the great master, Zhang Anshi, behaved like an amateur. Every time he came to Qianhusuo, he always asked questions.
Zhu Quedao: "We are all from official schools. Which skill we perform was not taught by the great master? How could the great master not know these methods? You... you are lucky enough to still be in the Special Thousand Household Institute
It's business, I think the psychology courses you took in the official school were in vain."
At this time, someone finally realized it.
The whole thing... the Grand Master knew what measures should be taken.
Even before handing it over to the special Qianhu Office, the Grand Master already knew what method should be used. The reason why the Grand Master had always stayed out of the matter and entrusted all this matter to Qianhu.
I'm afraid that these methods are too vicious, and they are all inciting and stealing the country. If the Grand Master did it himself, he would have a bad image. People who don't know would think that the Grand Master is Cao Cao.
.
But if Qianhu, that is, Prince Yi comes to preside over this matter, then there will be no problem.
He is His Majesty's brother and a member of the Zhu family... Although the methods are dirty, who can say anything?
King Yi Zhu said: "Bring your things with you immediately. I want to go to see the saint immediately."
"Here."
So Yi Wang Zhu Feima and several school captains hurried to the Meridian Gate.
Here at the Meridian Gate, a guard saw someone coming on a flying horse. He was wearing the uniform of a royal guard and was about to ask.
King Zhu of Yi dismounted, but ignored him. He only picked up a baggage and said, "This is my family. Why are you questioning me?"
The guard was anxious. He had never seen anyone so arrogant and domineering. When he was about to step forward, he was grabbed by a eunuch on the side.
The eunuch said with a smile: "Your Highness, King Yi, I will go and inform you."
"I'm going to see my brother, what should I tell him! What does it have to do with you when I go home? Don't use this to imprison me!"
After Yi Wangzhu said this, he ignored him and walked in without hesitation.
The imperial guard and the eunuch looked at each other, but neither dared to step forward to stop him.
In the literary building, Zhu Di did not rush to let the ministers disperse, but casually mentioned the situation in various prefectures and counties.
Now the entire Zhili government is clearing out the farmland of the Zhangzhang, and there is a huge uproar. The biggest resistance is in Suzhou. There are even cases where the civil servants of the Qingzhang were killed by bandits when they went to the countryside. This has happened seven or eight times.
So many times that they had to send troops to follow the civil servants to the countryside.
Some people even gathered in the mountains and wanted to go into the mountains to become bandits. Although officers and soldiers came to suppress them, these locals were familiar with the terrain and persisted for a long time.
It wasn't until the Left Dudu's Palace directly seconded the model battalion of the Right Dudu's Palace, and directly set up artillery to bombard several places where the thieves might be hiding, that they were finally subdued.
Of course, there were some complaints, and even many wealthy families had to move their families to nearby Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places.
Regarding these chaos, the King of Shu, Zhu Chun, seemed unmoved and just laughed and scolded others.
Speaking of which, the Right Governor's Mansion seems to be much more low-key. After all, their land has been cleared and they have been scolded. Now, Zhang Anshi borrows debts all the time and is trying to find ways to raise money everywhere.
But after all... the money never reaches the scholar's head. Although everyone is laughing, this Anshi borrowed a lot of money and owed a huge sum of money, and sooner or later it will be unsustainable.
But with the King of Shu leading the way, Zhang Anshi got scolded less recently.
Of course, the monarchs and ministers in the DPRK also heard some rumors about this massive borrowing, and everyone was quite worried about it.
After all, borrowing debt is not a good thing, and borrowing so much debt and having to pay off so much interest in the future is no different from being a prodigal.
The ancients would not have a good impression of anyone who borrowed money, but... people didn't point fingers because of their face.
Just as he was talking, Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed slightly.
When the ministers saw that he suddenly became silent, they couldn't help but be surprised.
But he saw Zhu Di's eyebrows moving slightly, looking outside with wide eyes, and shouted: "Bold, who is snooping here?"
But outside the building, there was no movement at all.
Zhu Di was furious and immediately stood up.
At this time, someone finally came in and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't spy, I just happened to come."
Zhu Di looked unhappy when he saw him barging in. He looked at him angrily and said, "You guy, why are you so careless? This is the palace...where do you think it is, and why was no one informed?"
Yishiha was very worried and uneasy. This incident angered His Majesty. Your Majesty may not punish the unruly King Yi, but the eunuch below did not do things well, but he could not escape.
Yiwang Zhu, however, said confidently: "Do I also need to report when I see my brother and sister-in-law? My sister-in-law has clearly said that she wants me to come to the palace every now and then to see you. Brother Huang..."
"That's enough, that's enough." In front of outsiders, Zhu Di didn't want Yi Wang Zhu to continue talking about family matters, so he said coldly: "You are just going to Da Nei, what are you doing here!"
Zhu Dao: "My brother is here to report..."
Zhu Di said impatiently: "If anything happens, let your sister-in-law know first."
"The emperor's sister-in-law can't make the decision in this matter. She is a woman and doesn't care about foreign affairs." Zhu said.
To be honest, Zhu Di's temper was already rising at this time. If any vassal king dared to talk to him like this, even if he was a brother, he would probably find a way to kill him.
But in his eyes, Zhu Di was a fool! From the beginning, Zhu Di had no expectations for him, so at this time, he was able to accept Zhu's temperament.
So Zhu Di turned his eyes and glared at Zhang Anshi: "Is this what you taught me?"
Zhang Anshi seemed very calm, and said with a smile: "The official school is only responsible for teaching talents, but not his character. Your Majesty, the so-called son does not teach the father and son to live up to the standard, and the teacher is not strict in teaching. This person's character is different from his original family.
…”
Seeing that Zhu Di's face was getting worse and worse, and his mouth was almost pursed into a straight line, Zhang Anshi immediately said: "After all, it is my sin that will lead to death. I will definitely discipline him well next time."
Yang Rong and others secretly shook their heads. To be honest, King Yi's temperament would give anyone a headache.
At this time, everyone's impression of the vassal king was actually pretty good. Even if he was a fool like the King of Han, he was familiar with the army and horses, and could at least charge and kill outside.
But this His Highness King Yi... was obviously spoiled by the palace. Fortunately, such a person did not go to join the vassal state. If he did, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians in the vassal area would be unlucky.
Zhu Di then glared at Yi Wang Zhu again and said, "What do you mean you came here so rashly?"
Zhu Dao: "My brother is ordered to manage Siam..."
Zhu Di's face twitched: "You still remember Siam! If it weren't for the Zhang Qing family's guarantee, how could I have given you such a big job? It's been more than half a year, and I haven't seen you do anything..."
"Brother Emperor, it's done." Zhu raised his head, as if everyone was looking at me and I was announcing something.
After hearing this, the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be surprised.
Although he felt quite confident, he did not expect it to be so smooth.
Zhu Di, however, still said with a sullen expression: "It's done, what's done?"
"Pap..."
Zhu casually stretched out his hand and threw the baggage he was carrying on the ground.
The baggage rolled down, and then the two boxes also rolled out.
The big box was even thrown open, and then... a head was directly exposed in front of everyone.
When Zhu Di saw this, he was fine.
But Hu Guang and others, even Yang Rong who was calm and composed, all frowned.
Zhu Dao: "The head of the King of Siam is here."
After hearing this, Zhu Di was shocked and subconsciously said: "How to confirm that this is the head of the King of Siam."
Zhu Bian said: "In the other box, there is the golden seal given to him by Emperor Taizu Gao. At that time, he was still the crown prince and went on an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. Taizu gave him the seal ribbon. Who would have expected that this kid would actually become a man after returning to Siam?
He raised an army and rebelled, saying that there were treacherous ministers around his father, so he killed his father and stole the throne of the king... This man is quite skilled in martial arts... He is familiar with bows and horses, and he is also very strategic..."
Zhang Anshi said from the side: "Stop talking, stop talking, talk seriously..."
Zhu Di was shocked at first, but he was listening with great interest. It would be better if An Shi didn't talk about it. As soon as he said it, he suddenly woke up...
Then, the flesh on Zhu Di's face trembled: "Is this person... also foul-mouthed, scolding his mother all the time, and constantly beating and scolding the people around him?"
"Brother Imperial... what a wonderful plan."
Zhu Di was furious and said: "You beast, I will kill my relatives today out of justice!"
As he said that, he was so angry that he rushed forward.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers came forward one after another and urged: "Your Majesty, why is it necessary..."
Zhu Di angrily wanted to say something.
Zhang Anshi said at this time: "His Royal Highness King Yi, is this really the head of the King of Siam? No, the King of Siam is also a hero, how could he end up in such a state?"
Zhu was already used to the emperor's brother beating and scolding him at every turn. When Zhu Di wanted to deal with him, he didn't hide away. A beating would be enough anyway.
At this time, Zhang Anshi suddenly asked and it was indeed effective. Zhu Di also stared at him, as if he would take care of you later, but with a look of shock on his face.
Zhu Dao: "This is easy. Even though everyone is afraid of him, he also has some abilities. But in my eyes, he is just a chicken and a dog. I can take his head with my backhand."
Zhu Di glared at him and said: "Don't brag. It's not yet known whether this person is the King of Siam. I would like to hear how you got his head?"
Zhu Dao: "It's very simple. It's just teaching him to rebel against his relatives."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Are you rebelling against your relatives?"
Zhu said confidently: "Yes, analyze the situation of the entire Kingdom of Siam, understand the actual situation of the ministers around the King of Siam, as well as the country's sergeants, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, as well as their military, and even the temperament of the crown prince.
, classify them, distinguish them, spy on all information that is beneficial to us, and then... use different methods against different people."
