Chapter 13 Stirring

"You, you, Ma Aiqing, are you saying true?"

"It's true, and the empress is also strange. But if you think about it carefully, Sun Kewang has been etiquette for a long time, and this kind of thing is definitely not something that cannot be done."

Hearing this, Yongli's face suddenly changed. His face, which was originally flushed due to excitement, faded away instantly, and turned pale immediately. Sun Kewang has been domineering for a long time, but at least he would know about major events, even if it was just a notification. But now even the enthroned prince is making decisions without authorization, and he doesn't even leave the minimum program. His anger is intertwined, which immediately makes him lose his joy for this good news.

However, after a moment, Yongli realized that this was an excellent opportunity. Unfortunately, this kind of joy was just a moment in his heart and disappeared without a trace.

Yongli is still trapped in this house arrest, and even if he wants to use Chen Wen to get rid of Sun Kewang, there is no way to talk about it. And there is another problem. According to Ma Jixiang's description and his knowledge, the area controlled by Chen Wen now, in terms of area and geographical location, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to become emperor after the three families of Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guoan, is just apart from Huguang, Huaibei and some areas in eastern Henan. The gap between the two is no longer so unimaginable.

Chen Wen, Yongli has never seen it, and I have only heard of it over the years - from a righteous man who went south alone to defect to the royal army, leading the warriors behind the people's palace in times of crisis, to killing famous generals of the Qing Dynasty such as Chen Jin, Shi Tingzhu, Hong Chengchou, and then to the two famous kings who have now regained Nanjing and turned the tide with their own strength, even Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty and Yue Fei of the Song Dynasty.

Regarding Chen Wen, there have always been many good reviews. Yongli can see that this is all caused by Chen Wen's efforts, but there are also many bad reviews. For example, the inside story of the Cao Conglong Rebellion mentioned by civil officials, and the even more taboo about the Lu Jianguo's name being regent.

Assuming that Chen Wen was not a famous general of Zhongxing who was blessed by Emperor Taizu Gao from the Spirit of Heaven, but an ambitious man who was just like Sun Kewang, then Sun Kewang would leave, and he would probably not even be able to win the Yi Emperor and the Little Ming King!

Yongli's expression was changed, and all of them were seen in the eyes of Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou. One was from the Jinyiwei and the other was a eunuch. If the emperor could not control his thinking, it would be a joke that they could achieve such a high position in just a few years.

The two looked at each other, and before Yongli could return to normal, Ma Jixiang's deliberately lowered voice sounded in Yongli's ears again.

"Your Majesty, I think Sun Ke hopes to usurp the throne in the court. He should lead him to the foreign vassal states to the guards to relieve this upside down. As today, although the enemy's court has been defeated several times by the royal army, it still has half of the world, with no less than hundreds of thousands of armors. Among the royal army, Yue's vassal has outstanding achievements and the strongest strength. Your Majesty should rely on Mount Tai."

Ma Jixiang talked freely, as if all forces in the world were in control. But when he said this, Ma Jixiang changed his mind.

"However, if there is a vassal state that will be led into the Wei Dynasty, I think it is the King of Xining. The King of Xining and Sun Ni are called righteous brothers, but in fact they are already as powerful as fire and are loyal, so they have to rest assured than the Yue Dynasty. At that time, the King of Xining will take Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and His Majesty will use the vassal states in Guangdong, Fujian and Sichuan to control the King of Xining. The ancestral system of the big and small prime ministers will be restored, and the world will still be the Ming Dynasty, and no one will be able to take away the country and country passed down from His Majesty!"

After saying that, Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou fell to the ground with crying words, their heads pounding on the floor, pounding, as if they were loyal.

Last year, he exposed the culprit of Wu Zhenyu and others' inducement of Li Dingguo into the Wei Dynasty to Sun Kewang. Now he is risking his life to persuade Yongli to lead the vassal states into the Wei Dynasty to resist Sun Kewang, and the one who leads it is not someone else, but Li Dingguo. It sounds like absurdity is full of the period, but as the emperor, Yongli has nothing to understand about this.

When Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou fell to Sun Kewang, they were nothing more than seeing Yongli’s weak power and were about to climb a high point. But now, Chen Wen has broken the balance of the world. Sun Kewang is a bandit and is still preparing to usurp the throne over the years. Even his brothers turned against him. Seeing that Sun Kewang’s big tree was unstable, his desire to change his master was obvious.

But this master is not him, at least not all. As the Tian family hawks, Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou have been following Sun Kewang to monitor the court officials and even the emperor in the Yongli court in recent years. Such an unfaithful person, Yongli, cannot be reused. But now, since they have decided to change the party and come to offer advice to him, they must have some support.

Is it Chen Wen?

Is it Li Dingguo?

Or those vassal states in Fujian, Guangdong and Sichuan?

Yongli didn't know, but he knew that Chen Wen had broken the balance of power, but he did not rely on his strength to clear other vassal states. The civil war did not break out, and everyone was in a delicate balance. Only by muddying the water could he get fished. The person who instructed Ma Jixiang behind his back was the one who wanted to take fishing in troubled waters.

In a blink of an eye, Yongli's mind was about who was the person behind Ma Jixiang, but when he thought about it, it didn't matter who it was. Sun Kewang's domineering has reached this point, and the act of regicide is not impossible. For him now, external forces are also needed to break the cage. Only in this way can the imperial power be extended outward.

"Please get up, two dear friends."

After arousing Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, Yongli hesitated for a moment, and then said to the two: "The two beloved ministers are diligent in the affairs of the king, and their loyalty is commendable, and I feel very comforted. As for this matter, it is of great importance, and I still need to consider it."

After saying that, Yongli turned around and left the room and headed towards the harem, leaving only Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou here. However, after the two of them saluted, they didn't say anything. After leaving the palace, they came to Ma Jixiang's home, and retreated, letting his son-in-law Yang Zai beside the door, so that the two of them started to communicate in the study.

"Your Majesty still can't believe you and me."

"This is nothing unusual. It would be strange if Your Majesty could believe what the Marquis and our family had done in the past two years."

Pang Tianshou was sarcastic in his voice, and his words were sarcastic, but Ma Jixiang was not concerned about this. However, Pang Tianshou seemed to be worried about Ma Jixiang's plan.

"Your Majesty, is this sure that it will be done?"

There is no way to achieve something in the world, but Ma Jixiang could not say that, so he had to reply to Pang Tianshou: "As long as the King of Xining moves, the water in this pool will be muddy. At that time, except for King Yue, no matter which side wins, we will have the opportunity to maintain our current position, and maybe we can go further. It is better than waiting for the King of Yue's palace army to recover from last year's bloody battle and advance westward. If that happens, not only Sun Kewang, but you and I will not be able to fall."

How could Pang Tianshou not know what Ma Jixiang pointed out? It was not because he had confidence in Chen Wen's loyalty. If other forces entered the guards, no one would dominate. He would steadily eat up the two or three civil servants in Sun Kewang's hands. The strength of tens of thousands of troops would not be easily touched. After all, there have been many who have followed Sun Kewang in secret and stumbling to Yongli and the court officials in recent years. With one move, their safety is the safety of others. No one will cause internal strife for a moment and give other forces a clear statement.

However, the Yue Palace is different. Chen Wen now occupying Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He may have less than 200,000 iron armor and many talents. In the siege, it can be said that some of them are talents to replace civil officials and military generals in the southwest. Even if Chen Wen is not in harmony with the gentry in the southeast, no matter when, the most in the world is that those who want to be officials and those who are willing to be loyal dogs for the Yue Palace. As long as the emperor falls into Chen Wen's hands, their qualifications will be taken out and cut, and they can be invited to buy the hearts of the world, which is more useful than keeping them.

"Our family understands this principle, but His Majesty is hesitant, where does the robbery come from?"

This is the key to their adventure to meet Yongli, and it is no less than leaving a way out in front of Yongli. The problem really stumped Ma Jixiang, but for him, this was not a difficult task.

"Wait for another day or two tomorrow. If you don't have it, you will find someone to steal a royal item. I will take that thing to Guangdong. Then I will say that Sun Kewang's people were too tight in Anlong Mansion, and the robbery of the belt was too conspicuous, so it was not convenient to take it out."

Hearing this, Pang Tianshou smiled. "This method is wonderful, so wait for a day or two. It is better to have a robbery, otherwise it will be unstable after all."

Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou did not care whether Yongli was happy. This emperor was not stupid, but his weak character had long been understood by them. Moreover, if they could attract Li Dingguo, they would be the biggest hero. Even if the emperor disliked them, they would not kill the "loyal ministers" who had been "bearing humiliation and burdened" for many years, because this would only make others feel heartbroken and feel that this emperor was a cold-hearted king who would not return to others to justice.

The two of them were thinking this way, and Yongli returned to the harem as if he was worried. On the one hand, breaking away from Sun Kewang's control was something he had dreamed of for many years, but on the other hand, once he failed, Sun Kewang was a guy who dared to directly pull the cabinet chief minister and the eunuch in the palace to execute him in front of him, the emperor. God knows whether he would kill the monarch directly in anger.

"My mother, the place of Fengyang's ancestors and the place where Longxing in Nanjing have been recovered. Hu has no fortune for a hundred years, and the fortune of Jianzhang will also be destroyed. However, today, there are many vassal states before the enemy has been destroyed, and many kings of different surnames have different ambitions. Sun Ni is even more likely to plan to usurp the throne. My son's ministers are incompetent, and the country is not owned by my Zhu clan in the future."

"I warned you that you are too weak and you don't listen. You have to be this emperor. Isn't this position so easy to do?"

Yongli fell in front of Empress Dowager Ma, and the mother and son lowered their voices and cried. Empress Dowager Ma was the concubine of King Gui Zhu Changying. She was not the wife, but the position of empress dowager that the mother was noble because of her son and was awarded the title of empress dowager because of Yongli ascending the throne. The mother and son were thicker than water, complained, but they still comforted their son in her way.

After a while, the door was slowly pushed open, and a six or seven-year-old child walked up. Seeing this, the mother and son quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

The child is the third son of Yongli, and also the eldest son. The second son is his oldest son today, and the later generations of the mercy of the prince Zhu Cixuan.

The child came over and bowed to Empress Dowager Ma and Yongli in a regular manner. After getting up, he looked at the mother and son, but his face was full of confusion.

"Grandmother of the Emperor, why did you and your father cry?"

The child's voice came, and Yongli hurriedly wiped the tears that had not been wiped away from his face, and then said to the child: "Be good, the emperor's grandmother and father's eyes have sand, it's okay."

"Oh." When the child heard this, he immediately replied to Yongli: "Then Xuan'er will blow to the emperor's grandmother and father. When the sand in Xuan'er's eyes was in, the mother would blow to Xuan'er and stop crying."

As soon as this statement was spoken, tears from the mother and son surged out in their eyes again. The Supreme Pose seems to be incredible, but in fact it is extremely cold. Moreover, when born in this end of the world, even though the momentum of the Tartars had already shown signs of decline under the offensive of the Ming army, the current atmosphere was all due to the various vassal states, especially Chen Wen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

There are similar things in the case of Zhongxing. The Song Dynasty moved south and relied on the efforts of various vassal states to create half of the country. However, Song Gao learned his long legs very well, but he was far from controlling these ministers. There was no abilities here, but because his temperament was too weak, he could not use them even if he had thousands of means. That's all.

After comforting for a moment, he called Queen Wang to take the prince out. Yongli whispered to his mother: "My mother, it is imperative to bring the vassal state into the harem, but since the sons cannot trust Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, these two treacherous and slandered people, how can they be used? "

The Eighteenth Prison was too great to the Yongli Dynasty. The court officials and eunuchs who Yongli believed were killed in batches, which could be said to be a destructive blow to him. From then on, and even today, Yongli's eyes and ears were completely closed by the confidants of Sun Kewang Sect and the two guys Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou, which led to the eternal strange story that Chen Wen made such a wonderful reputation last year, and as the emperor, Yongli knew nothing about it.

The remaining court officials are not many, and they are not close friends. Besides, with the prison of Mr. Eighteen, who dares to jump out and become enemies with Sun Kewang, just to be a mess here. Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou have the ability, but Yongli dares not use such an unfaithful person. Not to mention anything else, God knows if Sun Kewang set up this time, and is waiting for him to get into it.

Yongli had no choice but to do anything about this. His mother, Empress Dowager Ma, was not as wise as Empress Yuanyou Meng. The mother and son looked at each other without saying a word, only tears were flowing thousands of tears.
