Chapter 873: Self-Destruction of the Great Wall
After interrogating Jinyiwei and completely solving the mystery of Murong Longcheng's life experience, Xia Nan led everyone to prepare to leave the Qunying Pavilion. As for Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wei Zhong, he didn't think about how to deal with it for a while, so he took it away.
Zhu Yujiao didn't know where she came out, and asked carefully: "Brother, do you want to leave?" ”
Xia Nan thought she was worried about her fate, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, my business is going well, I'm in a good mood today, don't worry about you offending me." ”
"That's not what I'm talking about......," Zhu Yujiao wrung her clothes with her fingers crampedly.
"Hehe, it's rare to see the lawless Nine Sons when they are shy." Xia Nan laughed, "While I'm in a good mood, if you have any small wishes, maybe I'll do it for you, if you have anything, say it quickly, and don't wait." ”
"Really?" Zhu Yujiao's eyes lit up, "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, you are the only person I have ever seen who does not take my father and Jinyiwei in his eyes, or you will take me out of the capital, right?" I want to see what the world is like outside. ”
Xia Nan was originally smiling, but her jaw almost dropped when she heard the words.
"Ninth Prince, don't be joking, if I take you away privately, your father and mother will dig three feet into the ground in the capital to find you. I'm not afraid of them, but I don't want to get into trouble for irrelevant people! ”
Watery droplets began to appear in Zhu Yujiao's bright eyes, she glanced at Xia Nan sadly, and lowered her head, "In your eyes, I am naturally an irrelevant person." But you know what? You were the first person to dare to scold me to my face, and I haven't had this experience for as long as I can remember. I have no one to control me since I was a child, from the palace to the palace, the chamberlains and palace maids let me make trouble, and I dare not come out, I am very eager for my father to talk to me, even if it is to reprimand me. But he always has endless pieces to watch, and he can't finish dealing with state affairs, and he never came to see me until I left the palace. And you lose your temper, like a brother, and like a father......"
Xia Nan chuckled in her heart, this is a typical lack of fatherly love. A rebellious girl who grew up in such an environment is easy to have a father-love plot and become obsessed with a man who is more mature than herself. He reprimanded her on the street and shot her to scare her, never expecting things to go in this direction. However, he didn't want to have anything to do with a princess in the Ming Dynasty, and this idea should be strangled in the cradle in time.
"Ahem, the Ninth Prince......"
Zhu Yujiao interrupted him resentfully, "It's all said, Jiugongzi is just a cover-up name, since you already know my identity, you can call me by my name, ...... you"
Although Zhu Yujiao has delicate facial features and fair skin, she is still dressed in men's clothes, like a handsome boy with a face like a crown of jade, and it still feels strange to speak in such a resentful tone. Xia Nan couldn't help but shudder.
"Well, then I'll call you Princess Kunxing. Princess, you were born in an imperial family, and many things cannot be done by your own nature. Although according to Qin Tianjian's prophecy, the way to train you is different from other princes and princesses, one thing is the same: even your father and emperor can't leave the capital or even the palace as he wants, and it is even more impossible for you to leave the capital. No matter how upside down you are outside the palace, once you plan to leave the city, you must be mentally prepared to bear all the consequences. I advise you to dispel this idea. ”
Zhu Yu pouted, "Don't you just want me to follow you, find a lot of reasons......"
Xia Nan shook his head, raised his feet and walked out, saying as he walked: "Believe it or not, I can't go crazy with you anyway." Thank you for providing me with a place today, thank you, don't say goodbye today, it's better not to see you again in the future, and there will be no time in the future! ”
As he spoke, he left the room quickly, and the soldiers accompanying him also trotted away, and walked away in an instant. Zhu Yujiao couldn't catch up, stared at his back hatefully, and stomped her feet for a long time, "You wait for me, you will make you willingly agree to me." ”
Qianqing Palace.
Chongzhen asked Yang Sichang: "Did he really say that?" ”
"The minister's words are true, and there is no exaggeration." Yang Sichang replied, "Although his reason is reasonable, with the general army of Qionghai Town serving as the chief soldier of Denglai, he can curb the Liukou, and he is willing to use the water division to contain the Tartars through Lushun." However, the minister never believed that he did this out of public intentions, and the unrestricted expansion of the army is the best evidence - all the soldiers and horses in the world are from the imperial court, and the food and salary are also distributed by the imperial court. Isn't this a clear indication that he does not intend to obey the dispatch of the imperial court and support the army for self-respect? ”
Chongzhen's brows tightened, "As far as you can see, does he want to establish himself as a king by doing this, or is he trying to divide one side?" ”
"It's hard to say, it's all possible. Of course, there is a worse possibility, that is, ......" Yang Sichang looked left and right, confirmed that there was no palace maid and attendant present, and whispered, "He wants to follow An Lushan and others and rebel!" ”
Chongzhen was taken aback, with the combat effectiveness of the Qiong Navy, if the army is expanded several times, there will be almost no one in the world to control it. If you think about it carefully, you need to entrench yourself in the critical land of Shandong, and expand the army justifiably, and the source of troops and food and salary are not restricted by the imperial court, isn't it the same as the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty! You must know that a very important reason why the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline was that the generals of the feudal towns were self-respecting and were not controlled by the central government in terms of military, finance, and personnel, which led to the later Anshi Rebellion.
He said firmly: "No, the Ming Dynasty must not appear in the domain, and I will not be the Emperor of Tang Ming!" ”
Yang Sichang saw Chongzhen's attitude, and he was overjoyed, and echoed: "Exactly, Your Majesty can't be led by his nose." According to what the minister saw, he would rather abandon himself and cut off this strong army, but also strangle this hidden danger invisibly. ”
"What do you mean?"
Yang Sichang gestured with his hand on his neck: "If you don't do it, take advantage of him in the capital, kill him to prevent future troubles!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this suggestion, he hesitated a little, "Didn't Changqing say that if he rashly killed Xia Nan, the army outside his city would be forced to rebel?" ”
"What Elder Wen Ge said, the kindness of a woman is only." A hint of fierceness flashed in Yang Sichang's eyes, "Your Majesty, if the tiger is released and returned to the mountain, there is a seventy or eighty percent chance that Qionghai Town will become a feudal town with self-respect, and if you kill Xia Nan, there is at least three to fifty percent chance of subduing the Qiong Navy." Although there is a risk, it is worth it, and how to choose depends on Your Majesty's intentions. ”
Chongzhen hesitated. If the judgment is correct, then this adventure can be tried, but if the judgment is wrong, Xia Nan is just a flamboyant personality and domineering, and has no intention of rebelling, then forcing Qionghai Town to rebel is to lose his wife and lose his army.
