Xie Wan stood in the yard with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance.
His residence is below the Woxin Hall, one step lower, but you can still see the sea and sky in the distance, and between the sea and the sky, there are dots of black spots, which are the battleships of Huilong Camp gathering.
Xie Wan was a little disappointed.
With the rise of Han Shui, Zhao Tai, and Xue Meng, and with the arrival of Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu, the situation is no longer under his control. In other words, his role for His Royal Highness is just an internal response.
This is not in line with his ideas and interests.
If you want to have a high starting point after returning to Gyeonggi, you must have outstanding achievements.
And it should be dazzling.
Because Xie Wan's status is that of a reformer.
Reformed people were discriminated against in the imperial court, and this had been the case in all dynasties. Among other things, the famous Xin Qiji, when he was reformed, captured the enemy leader alive and returned to Lin'an with 50 people out of an army of 20,000 people.
What a credit.
However, even so, Xin Qiji was not reused, and even his "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" were not adopted in the court, and he ended up depressed throughout his life.
Of course, there is certainly no shortage of rich and prosperous days.
Is it rich...?
Xie Wan sighed secretly.
A man is born between heaven and earth. After he has wealth, he can't just sing, dance, drink, and make money. He must have some spiritual pursuits.
But in the current situation, Xie Wan was powerless.
The four guards of Huilong Camp controlled by Fan Biao are all stationed in the waters of the Penghu Islands. The Kaohsiung side is controlled by Han Huixing, Zhao Tai and Xue Meng. And looking at today's posture, Baozong's suspicion of him is getting stronger and stronger.
In order to consolidate their power, Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu would also attack themselves.
It seems that the end has been reached.
And all of this was facilitated by His Highness the Crown Prince.
After learning that Baozong was going to establish a small court, Yang Kui under Fan Biao went to Gyeonggi. The prince's purpose for Yang Kui to bring him back was to wait and see what happened.
Xie Wan was confused at the time.
Isn't this just leaving him to die... But Xie Wan didn't dare to resist.
All we can do is helpless.
The top priority is to save lives.
Xie Wan knew that Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu must have seen Baozong's suspicion of him, so these two people would definitely try their best to kill him, most likely in the next few days.
But Xie Wan wasn't too worried about this.
Do you really think that I, Xie Wan, spent eight years in Kaohsiung in vain?
In the small court, in addition to Zhang Chenglu, Kong Hongxu, Han Shuiping, Xue Meng, and Zhao Tai, Xie Wan personally trained many confidants, including Chen Lan, the official minister who was originally intended to succeed him.
Of course, most of the seven ministers in the current small court are just decorations. Officials except for worship are all decided by Baozong alone, military command is made by Fan Biao, and financial matters are temporarily decided by Xie Wan and Baozong.
As for the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment, they are just decorations and arranging people.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come.
Chen Lan was led into the courtyard by his servants. After saluting, he went straight to the topic and said, "Mr. Xie, do you still need to follow the plan? Do I still need to continue to lurk next to His Majesty?"
Chen Lan was born into a serious noble family.
Fujianese.
The Chen family, one of the eight rich surnames in Fujian, was originally responsible for maritime trade and smuggling. The merchant ships robbed pirates. The pirates saw that Chen Lan had some ink and took him back to serve as a stronghold military advisor.
Rescued by Fan Biao.
Then Xie Wan persuaded him to become the second "Xie Wan" after Baozong left Taiwan.
Who is the second "Fan Biao"?
Xie Wan doesn't know.
Because the second "Fan Biao" was cultivated by Fan Biao, just like Fan Biao didn't know that Chen Lan was the second "Xie Wan", this was a tacit understanding between Xie Wan and Fan Biao.
Avoid group destruction.
But in fact, I thought too much. There are only so many people in the small court in Taiwan.
Xie Wan thought for a moment, "I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince is thinking now, but I have a hunch that you should be reused. It's just that the arrival of Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu has made the development of the situation beyond our control."
It's not under our control, but that doesn't mean it's not under the control of His Royal Highness.
Chen Lan said: "But three days after returning to Longying, we sent out troops to target a certain place in Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. If the capitals of these three places cannot resist and lead to the fall, we will not be able to justify it to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Wan hummed, nodded and said, "This is not something we have to worry about anymore. Your Highness the Prince asked us to wait and see what happens, so just wait and see what happens. This is his will."
Chen Lan: "What if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill the donkey?"
Xie Wan shook his head, "Impossible."
His Highness the Crown Prince would never do this, because if he did, who would be willing to continue to help him lurk around Baozong? Not only would they not do this, they would also reuse himself and others.
Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
He is just a businessman, so he doesn't understand these conflicts.
I understand.
After all, Xie Wan taught him step by step over the years.
But Xie Wan didn't see it so clearly.
Xie Wan turned around and glanced at the Woxin Hall high up, suddenly laughed, and said: "Just now there was news from the Woxin Hall that Kong Hongxu will impeach me on the day we go out to the army, and I may be 'dead' by then. You
You need to see the situation clearly and take action against me to ensure that your identity is not exposed. When you get to Jiaozhi, you must cooperate with the people arranged by His Highness to help Baozong establish a territory in Jiaozhi!"
Xie Wan knew that with the situation like this, His Highness the Prince would definitely drive Baozong away to Jiaozhi.
Chen Lan was dumbfounded, "Is there someone in Woxin Hall?"
Who is there in Woxin Hall?
Apart from Baozong and a few women, there was only Meng Xi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies!
Could it be that Meng Xi is also a lurking chess piece?!
Chen Lan suddenly felt sympathy for that Tianshun Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
The entire small court is almost "all evil people".
I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xie, how many of us in Kaohsiung have special status?"
This is a very sensitive topic.
Chen Lan didn't dare to ask before.
But now that the showdown is imminent, it doesn't hurt to ask.
Xie Wan also thought so and said with a smile: "Don't forget, who has been running Taiwan in the past eight years, and how few people have special identities? Except for Zhang Chenglu, Kong Hongxu, Han Shuiping, Xue Meng and Zhao Tai, the rest are all
Fan Biao and I trained them, how many people do you think there are?"
That's right.
To the Baozong, all members are evil.
and……
Xie Wan had a vague feeling that since His Highness the Crown Prince had asked him to wait and see what would happen, it was possible that His Highness the Crown Prince had arranged chess pieces that he was unaware of in the small court in Kaohsiung.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows best that the Baozong in Kaohsiung is the real Zhu Qizhen.
It is impossible to take it lightly.
Then here comes the problem.
Han Shuiping, Zhao Tai, Xue Meng, Kong Hongxu, Zhang Chenglu, among these five, who is His Royal Highness the Prince's chess piece?
Chen Lan was stunned for a moment and then became happy.
He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let His Majesty Baozong know the truth in the end."
If the truth is revealed in the final showdown...
It is the most heart-breaking murder in history!
Xie Wan shook her head, "No."
Such a heart-wrenching act of murder will make the Bao Zong despair, and maybe they will just blow themselves up and not give up.
If Baozong doesn't go to Jiaozhi, it will be very troublesome.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince will definitely let Baozong lead people to develop in Jiaozhi with full confidence, and become the pioneer general in the Ming Dynasty to regain Jiaozhi and reestablish the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi.
