Linqing is one of the important nodes of the Grand Canal, which was very wealthy in the past, and it is said that the story that happened in "Golden Vase Plum" is actually in Linqing, Shandong.

This time, the Ming Dynasty recovered Shenjing and almost all the lost territories occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, achieved an unprecedented victory, and announced to the whole world that the Ming Dynasty was ashamed of the past, and the government and the people could be said to celebrate together.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has saved some money, and the government is relatively effective in providing relief to Shandong and other places.

In their hearts, the people of Shandong compared the Ming Dynasty with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which immediately aroused some feelings of the people in Shandong for the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming army went all the way south along the canal from Beijing, and everywhere it passed, the state and county officials came to greet it, and the people were on both sides of the canal, waving and cheering, the scene was so grand that almost from Tongzhou, there were no people along the coast, so that the marching speed of the army was quite slow, only twenty or thirty miles a day.

At this time on the canal, hundreds of warships were moving slowly, the flags on board were flying, and the sides and decks were full of soldiers, and they were cheering one by one, and they could not help but raise their chests and stand straight, and a sense of honor that had rarely been felt spontaneously arose.

On both sides of the canal, tens of thousands of troops marched in formation, stretching for more than ten miles, and the military might was incomparably magnificent.

When Wang Yan heard about Linqing, he couldn't help but get out of the cabin, stood on the deck, and sure enough, he saw hundreds of people crowding to the edge of the canal to welcome the army crossing.

Suddenly, a large group of people in the distance began to shout in unison, "Long live the King of Chu!" Long live the King of Chu! and all kinds of words of praise and gratitude.

Wave after wave of voices, covering the ground, attracted the marching army, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

Wang Yan frowned when he heard it, starting from Tongzhou on the ship, all the way south through Tianjin Wei, Jinghai, Cangzhou, Nanpi to Linqing, gathering more and more people, creating more and more momentum, and now it is directly called "Long live".

It's just that this cry is a little too loud, with Wang Yan's old way, as long as you listen carefully, you will know that this is obviously rehearsed.

In the face of such a scene, if Wang Yan hadn't known it in his heart, he might not have gone to Shandong, and his heart would have been fluttering, and he felt that he was really the people's desire.

"With such a big battle, they put a lot of effort into it!" Now that everyone knows about the rebellion, there is nothing bad to mention, Wang Yan sighed and smiled helplessly.

"It's true, the first few stops are less powerful because they are in a hurry, but because the army is slow, the preparations in the back are much more sufficient." Yu Taichu, who was standing behind Wang Yan, pointed to the river again, "Your Highness, the loudest shouting over there should be the soldiers of Zhongzhen Town, after they shout this stop, they will immediately go south to Dongchang Mansion, and then make a noise." ”

Wang Yan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, in order to make him the emperor, they still used their brains to make Gao Yigong.

Wang Yan looked in the direction of Yu Taichu's finger, and sure enough, he saw that there should be thousands of soldiers dressed as civilians hiding behind the crowd, shouting loudly, the voice was full of anger, and it didn't look like an ordinary person.

"What about the people ahead?" Wang Yan looked at it for a while, then suddenly pointed to the secret crowd on the side of the canal and asked.

Xu Taichu glanced at Wang Yan, lowered his head and said softly: "Most of them are local government organizations, as long as the people who come over, they will send two buns!" ”

Wang Yan was speechless for a while, and then muttered, "It's all fake!" ”

Although he knew what he knew, he was still a little disappointed when he heard that these cheers and the people gathered were fake, maybe deep in his heart, he did not reject this scene, and he also hoped that he was really so supported by the people.

Think about it, the Ming Dynasty did not have any hearts in the north, and now that the war has just ended, life has not yet settled, they feel that the Ming Dynasty is not bad at most, where will they suddenly be so enthusiastic, Wang Yan is in the south, I am afraid it is difficult to have this treatment.

At this time, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, then calmed down, turned his head, and asked, "Is this my brother's attention?" ”

Wang Fuzhi shook his head, "I didn't consult with His Highness, how dare I pay attention to them?" ”

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and said in disbelief, "Brother didn't participate? ”

Wang Fuzhi dealt with the land of Henan before, and after Wang Yan thought about it a little, he knew that Wang Fuzhi was paving the way for him, so he didn't believe that Wang Fuzhi was not involved in this matter.

It was precisely because of the incident in Henan that Wang Yan noticed that something was wrong, so he ordered Jinyiwei to find out what was going on now.

"Uh~ Gao Yigong did look for me, but my father and brother wrote to me and asked me not to participate for the time being!"

When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Oh, what is the uncle's attitude?" ”

"Father said that with the prestige and merits of His Royal Highness, when it really comes to that point, because it should be a matter of course, there is no need to rush for a while, and there is no need for martial artists to support it, it is best to let the emperor take the initiative to concede. Because my father felt that with His Royal Highness's temperament, he could not do anything to coerce the emperor to abdicate by force, and there was no need to ascend the throne by force, as long as he spent more time and had enough merit, it would not be difficult for the hundred officials to persuade him to advance. ”

"In this way, Uncle also supports my usurpation!" Wang Yan couldn't help sighing, he actually had some insistence on his ideals in his heart, and wanted to be a saint, but the people around him were all laymen, even the uncle and Wang Fuzhi whom he had always respected.

This made Wang Yan feel lost in his heart, a little shaken, and said: "Although their actions this time are excusable, they are very inappropriate and too inconsiderate. Since my brother also knows, I will not agree, besides, the emperor is only eight years old, and after seven years of pro-government, there is still such a long time, why not stop them first, and they must use this most disgraceful way to seize the throne. Now there are many people in the DPRK who do not support it, and Jinyi Wei reported that several cabinet elders have come to Shandong, and the cabinet department has even threatened to crash and die in front of me······"

Seeing Wang Yan, Wang Fuzhi complained, and explained: "I can't stop this matter if I want to, Gao Yigong and others are uneasy, His Royal Highness should show an attitude to make them feel at ease." ”

Wang Yan focused on his reforms, as well as the battle against the Qing army, and after pacifying Tang Lu, he never talked openly with Gao Yigong and others.

Wang Fuzhi said, he paused, glanced at Wang Yan, and said slowly, "In this incident, as long as His Royal Highness has the attitude to come out, it is not difficult to suppress it!" ”

"You're forcing me, you must see my rebellion, right?" Wang Yan said.

Wang Fuzhi, "This is to use this matter to make the courtiers compromise, let His Royal Highness take a step forward to take up the post of supervisor, and at the same time see what the attitude of the court is, it can be said to be a temptation." ”

In this way, Wang Fuzhi and others are not in favor of usurping the throne by force, but they want to use Gao Yigong and others to test the attitude of the government and the opposition, and make Wang Yan's authority go further.

"Prison Country?" Wang Yan frowned, and somewhat understood that Wang Fuzhi and the Wang family had already settled it.

They knew that Wang Yan would not accept the seizure of the throne by force, and they also knew that Gao Yigong's action was too urgent and was not the best time to seize the throne, and that the civilian clique would not allow the military generals to support the new emperor, but they still connived at Gao Yigong's actions, in fact, they used the Shun system as a gunman, first, to force Wang Yan to express his position, and second, to see how strong the opposition forces of the government and the opposition were, so as to prepare for the future.

This is a more secure path to take step by step.

Wang Yan is now the regent, when the monarch is young and unable to govern, he will hand over state affairs to Wang Yan to deal with, the regent is only acting for the state government, and when the emperor grows up, he will return the government to the emperor, but the supervision of the country is different, generally only the prince can take up the post of supervisor, and the supervision of the country has the right of inheritance to the dynasty.

The reason why King Lu was able to compete with Emperor Longwu in the first place was because he was the status of a prisoner.

"Your Highness, look, several governors are here!" At this moment, Yu Taichu suddenly pointed to a horse road on horseback on the shore.
