Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sky has turned a grayish-white color, and it's almost the fourth watch, but Chongzhen still can't suppress the anger in his heart.  He was actually defeated. The elite soldiers of Liaodong, who used to be like chopping melons and vegetables, ended up being defeated in less than a month after going to Gansu. This made him incomprehensible.

    What is the Liaodong Army?  That was the most powerful unit in the entire Ming army. Even the most powerful Jin army could not get any good from them.  What they faced this time were just some rebels. Even if they were from the army, they could not be the opponents of Liaodong's elite soldiers.  Chongzhen couldn't imagine what kind of reaction the DPRK and Chinese officials and other soldiers would have if they knew about this matter. It would definitely greatly damage their self-confidence.

    "And after those rebels fought such a victorious battle, their military morale will inevitably be boosted, and their momentum will inevitably be far greater than before. So what should you do?  Now Chongzhen could say that he wanted to kill Wu Sangui to vent his hatred. Unfortunately, he was not in the capital now, so he could only suppress his anger temporarily.

    Because of this, Chongzhen resolutely executed the eunuch next to him after he made a small mistake.  The several chamberlains who were standing by to serve him were all trembling with fear, obviously afraid that he would take it out on them.  So although it was almost the fourth watch, which was generally the time when the emperor stood up and prepared to go to court, he did not dare to remind him, for fear that he would make the emperor unhappy by speaking out his words and make himself guilty.  You must know that this is not the time of Tianqi, and the status of the chamberlain in the palace is not that of an individual at all.

    After looking at the apology document a few more times, Chongzhen threw it on the dragon case, then looked up at the chamberlain beside him and asked, "Why haven't the elders arrived yet?"

    Several people were a little stunned. After a long while, someone finally said bravely: "Master Qizou, you didn't even give the order for the elders to come to the palace to see you."

    "Huh?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this was indeed the case. He had just been angry and had not ordered anyone to invite a few pavilion elders to come to the palace to discuss matters.  However, as an emperor, how could he make such a mistake? Now he was even more angry. Chongzhen snorted coldly: "Talk too much. I just want you to invite some elders to see me now. You, a slave, go to the internal affairs by yourself."  I will receive a hundred imperial staffs from the government."

    "Master, Master, please spare my life!" When the man heard this, he immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.  If all the hundred sticks were used, his life would be wiped out immediately. How could we prevent him from being frightened?

    Seeing this man's appearance, Chongzhen felt bored. He smiled solemnly and said: "What, you slave dare to resist the order? Come, take him down to me and give him two hundred canes!" Immediately someone came forward.  Drag the unlucky guy down who was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.  The emperor looked at the sky outside irritably and said, "Why don't you do it yet!"

    "Yes, yes, I will go and invite the elders here!" The remaining few servants who were clever quickly responded and ran out.  When everyone else saw this, they deeply regretted that they had not seen the opportunity quickly enough and failed to take this opportunity to leave the emperor's sight.

    Chongzhen, who finally felt relieved, sat down, but when he saw the change was missing, he became angry again: "What are you slaves doing? It's already been the fourth change, and you don't even know to remind me to change.  Do you want to deceive you?"

    "Your Majesty" Upon hearing the emperor's angry words, all the servants were so frightened that they knelt down in front of him, but they did not dare to argue any more.

    Chongzhen glanced at them coldly: "Change my clothes and get ready to go to court. They are really a bunch of people who have failed to achieve anything but fail. What's the use of keeping you!" Seeing that the emperor had temporarily spared him and others, these servants  He stood up and carefully put on the imperial robe for Chongzhen, but the depressing atmosphere in the hall became even stronger.

    Like Chongzhen in the palace, Tang Feng did not fall asleep. He was walking back and forth in the study.  He had already sensitively sensed that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to change the entire pattern of the court, and an opportunity for him to reappear in the court.  But if this matter fails, I am afraid that not only himself, but everyone including his wife and children will have a bad end, which makes it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

    "But is the current life really what I want? Since God has allowed me to live again in the end of the Ming Dynasty, and has changed so much history and the fate of so many people through my hands, I will  Are you willing to stop here? And with Chongzhen's character, although he won't embarrass me now, there is no guarantee that one day he won't be unfavorable to me. At that time, I can only be a knife and a knife for others, and I am just a fish. Rather than being used by him in that time  He is hurting me and my family with unfounded excuses, so why not take a preemptive strike and get rid of him! Although he is a good monarch, he is unable to turn the tide and get back on track in this dying Ming Dynasty. Since I have such  Confidence?Why can't we take a gamble?  "

    After repeatedly thinking and considering in his heart, Tang Feng suddenly made a decision, a decision that not many people in the world dared to make, that is to kill the king!  But before that, he must make a series of preparations so that when the emperor really dies, he can seize enough power from it.

    Now on the top of Chaotang, those civilians headed by the cabinet and six parts are of course the right to speak. Two hundred years of Ming Dynasty, the civilians had all the military and political power of the military, and the situation of the military officials was unbearable.  The conflict between Tang Feng and the civil servants has been going on for a long time. From the time when he fought with the eunuchs to deal with them, to the later Yanshenggong incident, he always forged grudges with these people who claimed to be the descendants of saints.  Three years ago, or even earlier, the reason why the emperor became suspicious of himself was actually inextricably linked to them.

    Now even if they succeed in putting Chongzhen to death, these civil servants can still control the government. How can they get ahead and change everything?  So what we have to do now is to create a force that truly belongs to us.  Although the Jinyiwei were willing to obey their orders, their number in the capital was too small after all, and they could only be used in certain key positions.  Only the three major battalions of the capital were left.

    The inequality of civil and military status was deeply understood when Tang Feng took power, and it has become even more profound in the past three years.  He thought that the soldiers in the capital must have resentment in their hearts, and he had a good relationship with them. Tang Feng could be regarded as half a military attache himself, so he believed that he could convince them.

    "As long as we have the power of this 100,000-strong capital army, no matter what the officials in the DPRK think, it is impossible to resist them.  Thinking of this, he already knew what he should do.

    When the morning session began, a man wearing servant clothes quietly walked out of An Guogong's mansion, which had been rarely visited by people.  Today, three years later, even Chongzhen doesn't care much about Tang Feng, a figure with no real power, so no one knows that the person who suddenly went out is Tang Feng himself.

    "It's too late to greet the Duke when he arrives!" Guan Zhengjie was very surprised when he saw Tang Feng suddenly appearing in front of him, especially the coarse clothes he was wearing. However, the courtesy cannot be discarded, and the relationship between himself and Tang Feng  The relationship was also very good, so he didn't say much.

    Tang Feng smiled slightly and said: "General Guan is serious. I just miss my brothers a little, so I came here to see you. Because I know that my identity is different from before, I came here incognito. How are you, how are the brothers recently?  Are you ok?"

    Hearing Tang Feng ask how he was doing recently, the expressions of several soldiers darkened a little.  The literary style in the imperial court has become more popular recently, perhaps because there are no worries inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, even the Shenji camp is not popular with others, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.  But in front of Duke An, they couldn't say that. They just said perfunctorily: "Fortunately, the brothers are doing well. After all, we are also the third largest camp in the capital."

    Tang Feng nodded. He had already seen what everyone was thinking, but he didn't reveal it.  After chatting with everyone for a few words, he added: "It has become commonplace in the imperial court to emphasize civility over military affairs. Now this trend is just blowing again, so you don't need to take it too seriously. In fact, if you don't think about it,  There is still a way to be suppressed by those literati."

    "What do you think the Duke said?" Someone asked impatiently. Obviously everyone felt bad. At the same level, civil servants are always much higher than military attach¨¦s. They all work for the court with salary, how can they be called  Are people convinced?

    Tang Feng looked at Guan Zhengjie and saw that he was also waiting for his answer, so he smiled and said: "Do you still remember how Dongchang was destroyed by the Jin Yiwei? As long as we are willing to take action, no one can fight with us.  !¡±

    Several generals were stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Tang Feng's words were reasonable. Sometimes the more you give in, the more others will push forward. In fact, if we really talk about it, what are those scholars who have no power to restrain a chicken?  My opponent?  However, the imperial court has its own laws, can it really be changed with a bloody courage?

    Tang Feng didn't say anything more. He stood up and said to the people around him: "I hope everyone can understand that this court is not owned by civilian officials. We generals who have sacrificed their lives for the country also have the right to hold it.  "As he said this, he ignored these people and left the Shenji Camp.

    "There's something in his words. Could it be that he doesn't want to give up and wants to come out again?" Guan Zhengjie looked at Tang Feng's leaving figure and muttered in his heart, but he really didn't want to be suppressed by those civil servants all the time. If he really had such an opportunity,  , he wanted to give it a try.

    With the experience of persuading Guan Zhengjie, when Tang Feng met Liu Meng and Zhang Wencong,??'s rhetoric is even more powerful.  Originally, these two people were more dissatisfied with the current situation than Guan Zhengjie. You must know that they also made great efforts to defeat the eunuchs, but now they are kicked away. No one will be convinced.  Now Tang Feng's cryptic words made those rough people suddenly have other thoughts in their minds.

    Of course, they had no idea what Tang Feng was going to do. They just thought that he was going to make a comeback with the power of the military.  They are naturally very supportive of this boss who has fought alongside them.

    After spending most of the day, Tang Feng met with all the important generals of the three major battalions and spoke to them, thus drawing them to his side.  As for Jin Yiwei, Tang Feng was not worried.  Once something happens and they have enough chips in their hands, they will naturally stand on their side.

    After everything was arranged, Tang Feng decided to mention his thoughts to Xieyu. He couldn't do this by himself and could only rely on Xieyu's ability.  These days, he always enters the palace to monitor Chongzhen. He must be familiar with everything there. With his superb skills, he should be able to deal with him.

    "Young master, why didn't you call me when you went out? If there's anything wrong with you" Jieyu's first words when he saw Tang Feng was to complain. Although the two of them already had their own families, he  The relationship with Tang Feng has not changed.

    Tang Feng chuckled and said: "This is Beijing City, what accident can happen? And I am wearing such clothes, who can know that I am Duke An Guo?" As he said, his face was serious: "To clear up the confusion, I  I have something big that I want you to help me with, and of course, I won¡¯t force you if you don¡¯t want to.¡±

    "Young Master, just give your orders. Is there ever a time when I refused to do anything you asked me to do?" Xie Yu said hurriedly: "I even did the night visit to the palace. Can other things be more serious than it?"  As he spoke, he noticed that Tang Feng's face was still so solemn, which made him vaguely feel that this matter was by no means simple, and was even more dangerous than entering the palace.  But he still said without any hesitation: "Young master, just say it."

    Tang Feng did not speak out about his decision immediately, but changed the topic: "How do you think we have lived in the past three years?"

    "Humph, the imperial court has crossed the river and demolished the bridge. If it weren't for you, young master, the world would be in chaos now. But the imperial court only gave you the status of a prince and nothing else. In the past two years, there were always people watching us.  , I have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time." Xie Yu said very directly.

    Tang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the current court no longer has a place for me, Tang Feng. Although I am the Duke of the country now, in real terms, I am just a rich man. But I am only in my thirties.  , I don¡¯t want to live out my life here. And no one can predict what happens in the court. So many people have problems with me. I don¡¯t know when I will be implicated because of some small things, and eventually my family will be ruined. This is what I have always worried about.  of."

    Tang Feng smiled: "It turns out that I just wanted to live peacefully like this, but those people in the imperial court have gone too far in the past three years. Now the people are living in poverty, but the officials are extremely rich. If this continues  , the world will still be in chaos. I don¡¯t want to see that once the world is in chaos, countless people will die or be injured, so I want to change everything.

    "But to change all this, I have to become an enemy of the entire imperial court. This requires an opportunity, and I have already grasped this opportunity after you came back last night and told me what happened in the palace."

    "Young master, what you mean is" The voice that answered the question actually trembled a little, which was rare.  Even if he faced thousands of enemies, he was sure to fight them all, but when he thought about what Tang Feng was about to ask him to do, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.  Although he had killed the Hakka family back then, she was just a woman favored by the emperor, far less than the person he was going to deal with today.  Even if Tang Feng is the emperor, he is still a person of this era after all, and his respect for the emperor is determined by his knowledge.

    Tang Feng was not surprised when he saw Xie Yu's frightened look. If he could really remain calm about this kind of thing, then he would only be a born rebel, or someone from later generations who traveled through time and space like himself.  However, he still said his decision slowly: "What I mean is to smash the imperial power that these officials rely on most and let the emperor Bintian!"

    Although he had already guessed what Tang Feng was thinking, when he heard him say these words, he still felt a sudden shock in his heart.  After a long while, he came out of his surprise and asked in a stiff voice: "Master, have you ever thought about the consequences of this? Also, even if the emperor really dies, can we get the power?"

    ¡°I have already thought about this, and I have been working hard on it today. Now I am 80% sure that I can accomplish this.Of course, if it fails, none of us, including Hui'er and Yu'er, will survive.  So I have to rely on you. Do you have the confidence to kill him?  Tang Feng asked, staring at the person he trusted most in front of him.

    "I" Xie Yu's mouth was a little dry. He was no longer the impulsive young man, but his loyalty to Tang Feng did not diminish as he grew older.  He could see that Tang Feng was determined this time, so he should realize his idea for the young master!  A surge of heroic spirit rose from his chest and abdomen, and he nodded sharply: "Young Master, let me go! I will definitely kill him!"

    Tang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If he refused, he really didn't know what he would do.  Fortunately, he agreed, which moved him greatly.

    "When does the young master plan for me to kill him? But today?"

    "No, if it's not the right time yet, wait and see. You can go to the palace and keep an eye on him as usual. I have to find the most appropriate time, and I have to find an excuse that is enough to let him die in the hands of others. That's the only way  , I have an excuse to suddenly intervene in court affairs. Only in this way can I rely on the strength of the army to bring those officials to a standstill." Tang Feng said calmly.

    "Okay, then I'll go to the palace later."

    After seeing the confusion and leaving, Tang Feng finally felt at ease. He knew that the day when the world would change had finally arrived
