As for whether Yang Chendong would fight with the Jiaozhi soldiers after he got something, Zhu Qizhen was not worried at all. Let's not mention that Jiaozhi's practice will attract Yang Chendong's anger, just look at what Kuang Ye said in the secret compromise, will King Min send an article to crusade against Jiaozhi? With that, it is enough to be reassuring.

Even if Zhu Qizhen was killed, he would not recognize the status of King Min as the king, nor would he recognize the legitimacy of the documents they issued. But the content of this article is beneficial to yourself, so don't take it seriously, turn a blind eye and pass it like that.

Zhu Qizhen agreed, and the next thing naturally went well, and after a will, the officials and soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Songjiang Mansion began to get busy.

The will was issued, Zhu Qizhen looked very satisfied, once there was no participation of the Jiaozhi army, King Min would be equal to one less arm, and then the difference in military strength between the two sides would be smaller and smaller, once he was given enough time to develop, it would probably not be long before the Southern Rebellion could be pacified, and at that time he was thinking about when the Northern Expedition would be.

But before that, there was one thing that made Zhu Qizhen unhappy, that is, Yang Chendong's physical condition suddenly improved.

For Yang Chendong, since the civil engineering change, Zhu Qizhen has not dared to underestimate it, and the facts have proved that his caution is correct, at least until now, everything Yang Chendong has done has to be impressive, and even has to make people wary.

Just like Zhu Qizhen was tired of sending troops to Jiaozhi, he also hated Yang Chendong and the mercenaries he could control.

What will be the result of the mercenary army and the Jiaozhi army, Zhu Qizhen does not know. He didn't want to make too many predictions, because in his mind, no matter who wins or loses in the final result, the remaining one may become his enemy, and how to solve it before the winning side is strong has become a problem he has to think about.

For this matter, he called Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch, and Menda, the commander of Jinyiwei, these two absolute henchmen of his own. And their power is all given by themselves, and there is no need to worry about their betrayal.

To put it bluntly, these two people are really nothing if they leave themselves.

The two henchmen were called in front of Zhu Qizhen together, and they began to beat the drum in their hearts, thinking about who the emperor wanted to deal with and who to make a bad deal for?

No wonder they think so. Being able to be called to the emperor at the same time, of course, it won't be as simple as just asking you to come over and talk.

Even if he is his own person, Zhu Qizhen naturally spoke much more bluntly, "You all know that Yang Chendong's body has healed." ”

As soon as they heard that it was this matter, the two of them understood it in their hearts, so they both nodded, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister already knows." ”

"Well, it's good to know, he's going to lead his troops to fight with Cochin, this is a chance for you." didn't say it thoroughly, this may be the emperor's usual practice. Never say anything to death, so that no matter what happens, they will have a lot of room to maneuver.

Cao Jixiang and Mendana are both human spirits, otherwise they wouldn't be able to sit in this position. When I heard Zhu Qizhen say this, I understood what it meant. But the faces of the two of them became ugly because of this.

Not for anything else, just because he wanted to deal with it, or that it was too difficult to assassinate Yang Chendong.

Before, the two of them had not worked hard, and even spent a lot of thought to arrange for someone to get close to Yang Chendong. If nothing else, just joining the mercenary army is like climbing to the sky.

Although they have sent the best of the best of the best, they have even made a lot of preparations for this. But I don't know why, it doesn't take long for these people to always be found out, and then disappear inexplicably, never in contact with them.

It's fine once or twice, but every time it's like this, as long as you don't know what's going on, it's the people they sent out who have an accident.

Of course, they wouldn't know that with the support of the powerful Yinliang, the means of the Security Bureau were no less than those of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who had a background. Especially when Zhu Qizhen went to Nanjing to establish Nanming, they began to lay out, even now, there are many people from the Security Bureau in Jinyiwei and Dongchang, just because they hide it too well, and they are generous, unless it involves some important information, otherwise they will not have any rash moves, so that they can't know the true identity of these people.

Originally, I wanted to break into the other party's interior, but now I was beaten into it by others, which is really a kind of irony.

And with what happened to Su Man'er last time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use the beauty trick if I want to use it next.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the faces of the two of them, and wanted to scold the last waste angrily, but considering that apart from them, there was no more powerful person available to him now, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Okay, it's not for you to do it now, once the war starts, I don't know how long it will take?" Maybe Yang Chendong will lose to Jiaozhi, but you also have to be prepared in other aspects, if you have the opportunity, you must not let it go, understand? ”

said it so bluntly, where did the two of them still not understand the truth, and immediately knelt down and said: "Please rest assured, the emperor will definitely go all out to solve problems for the emperor." ”

"It's not about going all out, it's about having a good result." Seeing that the two of them were talking happily, but there was no guarantee at all, Zhu Qizhen deliberately kept a straight face, and looked dissatisfied with their answers.

If you want to deal with other courtiers, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, it can be said that you can catch them. Even if you haven't done anything wrong, it's always okay to find something to press on your head, and the fact is that this is the method, and I don't know how many courtiers have been convicted for no reason.

Yang Chendong is completely different, but he has the army in his hands, and he is still a very elite one. People never go to the palace to meet the emperor, which makes them unable to find a chance to start. The so-called all-out effort just now is just lip service. Now that Zhu Qizhen has worn it, the two of them can't help but blush.

Fortunately, they are all smart people, especially Cao Jixiang, who can be reused by Zhu Qizhen, and even treat him a little as Wang Zhen back then, if it weren't for his ability, I am afraid that he would not be able to reach such a height by relying on loyalty alone.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion, but I don't know whether to say it or not." Cao Jixiang knew that he had to come up with some dry goods today, otherwise he was afraid that the emperor would not let him go easily.

"Ome, if you have anything to say, I'll listen." Seeing that Cao Jixiang had something to say, Zhu Qizhen immediately became interested, and he wanted to see if the other party really had any good way to deal with Yang Chendong.

Cao Jixiang, who was stared at by the emperor, first took a deep breath, quickly thought about his plan again in his mind, and then said after thinking that it was very feasible: "Your Majesty, do you think that King Min is a big threat to Nanming, or is it a greater threat to Nanming from the Duke of Zhongda?"

Listening to Cao Jixiang's question, Zhu Qizhen wanted to say that the threat was great. But after considering that such an answer was too scoundrel, he thought for a while and said: "Of course I think that the threat of Zhonggong is greater, how can I say that King Min is also a member of our Zhu family, and our affairs can be discussed behind closed doors." ”

"Okay." Cao Jixiang, who wanted this answer, said while the iron was hot, "That is the case, the minister thinks that you can contact King Min, and we will deal with the loyal and courageous prince together." If he loses a battle with Jiaozhi, he naturally doesn't need to say anything, if he wins, it is bound to come back, and when the time comes, wait for them to fight a lose-lose situation, and when they are sleepy and tired, we suddenly send troops, Your Majesty, what kind of result do you say will be? ”

"Shhh When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he took a sharp breath.

If an army had just finished a battle and was ready to rest, a stronger army appeared and targeted them, it seemed obvious what the outcome would be, and if that was the case, the big picture would be decided.

The strategy is good, but Zhu Qizhen felt that it was too insidious after hearing it, but considering that everything was for the Ming Dynasty, it was understandable that the means were too radical. But because of this, he had to cooperate with King Min, which made Zhu Qizhen a little unhappy.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen did not express his position immediately, but looked thoughtful, Cao Jixiang continued: "Your Majesty, King Min and you are just a family matter, Yang Chendong is indeed different, if you can't suppress him now, I'm afraid it will only be more difficult to target him in the future." Once he gains power, who knows if he will be the next Huang Yuliang. ”

His face was still very serious, but he couldn't help but nod his head first. What Cao Jixiang said is exactly what he is worried about, and it seems that his eldest companion still has a strong sense of politics.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen did not interrupt his words, Cao Jixiang knew that he was talking about the emperor's heart, and continued to say proudly: "Presumably, the emperor can see the trouble of loyalty and courage, and King Min can also see it, as long as we remind him a little, he will definitely do something, at that time, he can destroy the trouble of his henchmen, and he can also let King Min be hit hard in the process of killing, it is really killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Qizhen clapped his palms with a look of encouragement. But then he shook his head again, "It's just that we can see this kind of truth, can't we see the rebellion of King Min?" ”
