In the winter of the Beijing Provincial Administration and the Imperial Office, the grass and trees all withered, and at first glance, there is no green leaf in the city; the entire city is full of houses, as if built in a desert.

Only the colorful lacquer paintings on the palace in King Zhao's mansion add a little color between the world.

King Zhao Zhu Gaosui liked to sit on the throne in the front hall, burn a whole row of smokeless charcoal warmly on the hall, and then listened to the civil and military ministers saying something about this and that in a condescending manner.

The head of the royal palace was blushing. He was trying to make some complicated contents hard, "There are roughly three major forces in the north. Although it is biased, it is difficult to distinguish between those who blend and fight with each other, but only in this way can we roughly explain...

After the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Togustimur was killed, the tribes called themselves Mongolia; while the Ming Dynasty court called it Tatars... In addition, the tribes located in the western part of the Tatars' garrison area were called Wats, and the tribes were also called Watsai on the east side.

The Mongol Khan is actually a puppet, and the Tatar headquarters has long been broken down, including the Chahar tribes, Korqin, Asute and other tribes. They are sometimes good and sometimes bad, and they cannot be intertwined."

The chief thought for a while and said, "The Urianha tribes, or the three Duoyan guards, were mostly tribes that surrendered to our Ming court. Before the late emperor'Jingnan', the Mongolian cavalry hired by King Ning were mainly recruited by the Urianha people. At the beginning of Yongle, the Tainingwei in the Urianha area rebelled, but most of the time they obeyed the court and were granted official positions.

In addition, there were two main tribal leaders in the Ming Dynasty, one was Mahamu in the Washu tribes, and the other was Arutai in the Tatar Asute tribe. The relationship between these tribes was very complicated, with marriages and attacking each other all year round.

The Mahamu power of Washu became increasingly powerful. He first supported a Mongolian Khan among the Washu tribes, and then prepared to attack the Tatar Benyashiri Khan and support another Khan. Benyashiri Khan was actually a puppet and protected by the Tatar forces.

Recently, Mahamu is actively preparing to advance eastward, attacking Benyasiri Khan, and asking for weapons and armor from the court. But now he refused, and instead sent an envoy to contact Arutai, hoping to balance Mahamu with the Tatar Asute tribe; Mahamu sent envoys to Peiping to express his dissatisfaction..."

Zhu Gaosui said unhappily: "They made a pot of porridge, but asked us to use military weapons. Why are they dissatisfied?"

The chief minister said: "The Tatars claim to be Mongolia, but in fact they are old subordinates of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Mahamu of Watsai believed that the Ming Dynasty had an old grudge with the Northern Yuan Dynasty; therefore, they wanted to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty court to destroy the Tatars together."

Zhu Gaosui sneered: "But my elder brother quickly contacted Alutai of Tatar, just to ask them to bite each other?"

The chief replied cautiously: "As the prince said, Tatars and Titan tribes, no matter whether they are powerful, they will be unfavorable to the court."

At this time, the eunuch Huang Yan whispered beside Zhu Gaosui: "If the military weapon is given to Mahamu, it must be dispatched by Peking. The emperor is afraid that he is also guarding against the prince!"

Zhu Gaosui used to be as thin as a bamboo pole. He is twenty-one years old this year. He finally started to grow fat and is much richer. Of course, compared with his elder brother Gao Chi, his body shape is still far different. In fact, it is difficult to find a fatter person in the world than today.

When Gao Sui heard Huang Yan's whisper, he turned his head and looked at it and continued to speak to the Changshi: "So, I feel relieved. The Mongols are busy fighting in their nests. Will it seem that they will threaten Peiping for a while?"

The chief minister said: "In the past two or three years, they have definitely not had time to be enemies with the court, and they all want to obtain the goods and military supplies of the Ming Dynasty; those places where they did not get the goods of the Ming Dynasty were short of food and clothing, and had no iron pots, and were thin, hungry and poor, and were very miserable. But if Mahamu, who was sitting on the thorns, was the dominant one in a few years. Then Alutai was not a good man, and now it seems that he is following the head of the court, and it is hard to say that the situation will change in the future..."

Zhu Gaosui breathed a sigh of relief at first, but now he waved his hand unhappily and said, "Forget it."

He could understand the most critical question, that is: If Mongolia comes, what will he do in Peiping? Gao Sui will definitely not lead the army to fight against Mongolia like his father; and when the imperial army comes, will he take advantage of the situation and take him?

The chief and his officers bowed their fists and walked out of the front hall.

Huang Yan immediately muttered in a low voice: "I just got some news from the eunuchs in the capital. Zhang Fu has been ordered and captured the left chief of the King of Han and sent it to the capital. The King of Han seems to be advancing troops to Sichuan."

Zhu Gaosui didn't say anything for a moment, thinking about something.

He was quite dissatisfied with his elder brother Zhu Gaochi. The strange death of the late emperor made Zhu Gaosui angry because the late emperor favored him very much. But as soon as his elder brother ascended the throne, Zhu Gaosui was ordered... Gaosui did not have the title of eldest son, and was not as capable as his second brother. What could he do if he did not accept the order at this time?

Fortunately, the elder brother also gave him a gift and immediately sent someone to send him a batch of treasures to the younger brother, and comforted him, asking him to rest assured. Zhu Gaosui's situation is still quite stable for the time being compared to his second brother.

After a while, Zhu Gaosui said, "I didn't understand. It seems that the matter is very unfavorable to my second brother, and it seems that my second brother is attacking the official army instead?"

Huang Yan hurriedly said, "The prince is right, but it is very unfavorable! Of course, the King of Han must hurry to attack the official army, otherwise Xue Lu, Gu Cheng, and Zhang Fu from Guizhou should deploy the army properly, and the court will have more reinforcements to the southwest. The King of Han will be surrounded to death on three sides, and it will definitely be over at that time!"

Zhu Gaosui had neither led the army alone to fight the war nor had the opportunity to supervise the country to handle memorials. He was not very skilled in military and political affairs, but he seemed to be able to ask questions in a clear and clear way. At this time, he said, "Can my second brother win?"

Huang Yan said: "Now everyone in the world is quietly discussing this matter. If there is a certain number, there is no need for so many people to say it. I don't know it..."

He thought about it and bowed and said, "Your Majesty wait and see. At this time, let's see one thing, can the King of Han destroy Xue Lu in Sichuan!"

...The King of Han is indeed a world-renowned figure, and countless people are trying to inquire about the movements in the southwest. After all, people who act like the King of Han are rare in the world.

People in the world hear the rise of the southwest, and those who worry about the country and the people, cynical people, or those who are cynical, have all kinds of people.

However, when many people talk about who is right and who is wrong, their faces are full of interest, obviously treating them as interesting talks after cooking. The King of Han likes the beautiful nuns and Taoist priests, and uses lamb skin to plaster footsteps and other anecdotes, and becomes more and more famous.

In the secret gambling workshop opposite the capital Fuleyuan, a secret village quietly opened a bet, betting whether the King of Han could capture Chengdu City. After pumping, the bet was probably about the same side so far. If you bet, you can receive a 900-yuan citation if you win. In this bet, not only the Marquis of Yangwu and King of Han, but the existence of Gu Cheng and Zhang Fu affects the winning or losing.

This incident was quickly spread to the capital because the noise was too big.

In Longjiang Port, Gaozi Port and other places near the capital, a large number of ships were transporting firearms, military supplies and soldiers, and there were even more troops on the official roads to go west. There were rumors that the court was mobilizing 100,000 people from the Beijing camp to Jingzhou Prefecture, Huguang, and recruited a total of 300,000 troops from several provinces in the north and south of the Yangtze River, combined with 400,000 troops, and marched towards Sichuan in batches!

If the Han Wang Army could not capture Sichuan within two to three months, the imperial government troops in the three southwestern provinces would deploy troops to more than 100 battalions (each battalion has more than 5,000 infantry and cavalry) and 700,000 infantry and cavalry.

The court seemed to be working hard to deal with the King of Han. After all, the King of Han "slandered" him to kill the king and his father; if the King of Han was not destroyed, the throne he was on the present day would be uneasy forever!

...The late emperor reigned for six years (including the fourth year of Jianwen), built hundreds of large sea ships, overhauled the imperial city of Peking to prepare to move the capital, and used troops to Annan and spent money like flowing water. Jian Yi, the Minister of Revenue, held the treasury tightly and was famously stingy, so he offended countless people. As soon as he ascended the throne, someone immediately impeached Jian Yi.

When the Jingnan Army entered the city, Jian Yi hid at home and refused to surrender. He was caught in front of the late emperor and was forced to surrender. The censor re-reported the old story and impeached him with ulterior motives. When he ascended the throne, he hid at home and did not come out, and he did not persuade him to advance. He was punished more than a second time.

There is also Jian Yi’s own subordinate, the Ministry of Revenue’s Office, and the new salt law to impeach Jian Yi is to drink poison to quench thirst, which will harm the country and the people.

For such a person, the emperor Zhu Gaochi also comforted and treated him with preferential treatment, and still asked him to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue. It was still a big deal to quell the rebellion of the King of Han. It was still a big deal to spend money. Without Jian Yi, it would be impossible. Even if he wanted to rebel, the emperor probably planned to forgive him and asked him to find a way to enrich his military expenditure before he could rebel...

However, in recent months, more and more students in the Jingji area have written articles to correct the reputation of the emperor. They cursed the Han king's arrogance | Extraordinary | Yi, Huang | Extraordinary | Extraordinary, and rebelled against his father and brother, and acted erratic; because of his ambition, they slandered his elder brother and the emperor, and were ruthless, and both humans and gods were angry! This is a rebellious minister who has never been seen for five hundred years, and everyone was punished!

The three judicial offices of the court were also using more confessions, and evidence to discuss the "fact" that the late emperor misunderstood the slander and died of red pills.

So under such public opinion, a manifesto from the new cabinet minister Yang Rong was delayed in its public announcement.

I have made great contributions to the country because Gao Xu is very grateful. However, Gao Xu is always proud of his achievements and repeatedly asks the crown prince to be in the late emperor's father, but his father rebuked him. When his father passed away, I ascended the throne as the crown prince. Gao Xu raised anger. This country is unfortunate and brothers are planning to rebel. I am deeply saddened...

The commanders of the 22 guards and the 48 guards of the Beijing camp jointly wrote a letter saying that the priest and the emperor had no way to be moved by the rebel ministers. Only by using large troops to attack their crimes can they quell the rebellion and correct people's hearts.
