"Duke Zhang. If you hesitate any longer, you will be dead." In the East Police Factory, looking at Zhang Jing walking around like an ant on a hot pot, Long Xiang urged again: "Wanli is really It doesn't matter if he wakes up or pretends to wake up. After Zheng Guobao entered the palace, there was no news that he was beheaded or transferred to the Third Law Department. The Queen Mother also ignored you and refused to see you. The security of the palace has been strengthened, it is clear that they are going to take action. What's the use of you still scheming? In my opinion, the one who strikes first will suffer, as long as they break into the Forbidden City and force Wanli to write an edict to abdicate. We can still save everything, otherwise we will wait to die." Since returning from Uncle Guo's house, Zhang Jing has been pacing back and forth, restless like a beast trapped in a cage. He has realized that he just made a bad move. If he followed Luo Sigong into the palace and cried bitterly in front of Long Live, at worst, he would be sent to Nanjing to grow vegetables for the rest of his life, but he would not be dragged out to chop. If the Tian family doesn't wake up, unless Madam Zheng wants to completely make things worse, everyone can sit down and talk, and if each of them takes a step back, there may not be a solution. Unexpectedly, he chose the worst path. The Zheng family would not talk to him. If the Tian family really woke up, they would also think that he had disobeyed the decree and was bent on treason. Whether he could save his life was a matter of two questions. The great change in the Queen Mother's attitude towards him also made Zhang Jing frightened. He always felt that this was a very bad sign. The eunuch who went to Wei Hui Mansion to secretly communicate with King Lu was like a mud cow drowning in the sea, never to return. Just now, a few explorers finally escaped and reported that soldiers were already stationed around Prince Lu's Mansion. There are two new battalions of the Wei Hui Mansion. There is also the Zhongzi Camp in Jindaomen, Luoyang. There were many unidentified Jianghu people who also surrounded him tightly, but his own people were finally smart enough not to get involved. At the same time, there were signs of activities of several mysterious armed forces in Henan. They originally wanted to transfer the Zuo family of Songshan to Beijing, but Zuo Lengchan and his twelve Taibos and Twenty-eight Su were all killed. They were lined up one by one, carried on spears, and hung at the door of Zuo's house. I heard that the Zuo family is currently busy with funeral arrangements, and the entire battalion is in disarray. Morale is low. Already unusable. On the Nvzhi side, it was a long journey. Secondly, the combat power of the border army had increased greatly in recent years. Nvzhi fought with the border army and lost nine out of ten times. It is unrealistic to expect them to come in and help. Zhang Jing wanted to use his strength to resist. I also wanted to apologize to the emperor. Begging to avoid death. In a dilemma, he himself couldn't make up his mind as to which path was the right choice. In the end, I just sat there sighing and doing nothing. The prince-in-law rolled his eyes in anger, but he couldn't just make the decision for Zhang Jing. "Dragon Prince Consort, you don't understand. It's not as simple as you think. We have a group of people in our hands, but there are not many of these people who are in charge of troops. The capital we have on hand is really too small. Capital City Not counting the three camps, there are tens of thousands of Jin Yiwei alone, as well as the servants and tenants of various noble houses. What should we fight with?" Long Xiang was not convinced. "Are these people many? Fake, but they can't mobilize at all for a while. As long as we strike first and take the Forbidden City, it is equivalent to taking the head of the enemy's commander in the army of ten thousand, no matter how many soldiers and horses the Ming Dynasty has, it will not work. It's useful. Once you get the edict, are you afraid that you won't be able to stabilize the situation? Isn't it a waste of time for you to waste time here? It's difficult to attack. If the army really comes to attack, they can resist it for a while with this high wall. As long asas long as the Tian family remembers my past benefits, or the Queen Mother can understand, no one can check the Zheng family without me. Brothers and sisters, maybe there is still a chance of survival. Otherwise, Prince Consort, please take us away from the capital and I will go to the new king. I am familiar with the inside story of the Ming Dynasty, its rules and regulations, and most importantly, I know everything about how to restrain my subordinates. . If you want to establish your own country, what you lack is people like me. For example, how to train spies, interview officials, and eliminate traitors. These are the things I am good at. Is there anyone in your country who can do this? ? Let me tell you, there are three thousand Fendai in the harem. If you don¡¯t even have this, how can you be considered an emperor? Without me, you can¡¯t do anything. Just talk about castration. This is a technical job. People who don¡¯t understand it. No lives will be lost. " Long Xiang thought to himself: If I really want to escape, I will also take Li Shida and a few other ministers with me. At least they are civil servants and can be of some use. "We in Bozhou practice a system of samurai. There is no emperor, only the chief minister. It is only because of the special situation that the lifelong system is temporarily implemented. In the future, sooner or later, it will be replaced by an electoral system." "No emperor? Without the emperor, the world will not be chaotic. Who do you listen to? It doesn't matter what you call Bozhou, just like the Mongolians call it Khan, it's actually the same thing. Emperor, how did you come to be a prince? I tell you, the name of the prince is not right, and everything must be done according to the rules. If there are no rules, everything will be ruined.Generally speaking, the most terrifying enemy does not come from outside, but from within. Without Dongchang interviewing hundreds of officials and conducting torture investigations, if someone below wanted to rebel, big trouble would happen. " When Long Xiang heard the word "rebellion", his mind changed. Suddenly he felt that what the old eunuch said was not completely unreasonable. Although he had knowledge and insights beyond the indigenous people of this era, he also established the Social Security Bureau in Bozhou. , Military Intelligence Statistics Section and other units. However, the service staff are all natives of Bozhou. They can't even read and are not very smart. Compared with people like Dongchang, they are a bit inferior. Maybe this old eunuch is not. As useless as he imagined? He asked: "If you want to leave. Also think about how to move. With so many people, it is simply impossible for them to travel all the way back to Banzhou. No matter how we run, we can't outrun the imperial army. " "This old slave has also thought about it. "At this time, Zhang Jing had completely regarded the consort as his new master, and he also called himself an old slave. "We sons and daughters rely on Dongchang to dig trenches and defend. I have stored a large amount of ammunition, money and food in the East Factory. With these things, I can guard him for ten days and a half. With this time, we can run far away. The old slave still has some connections in the local area. As long as he leaves the capital, I guarantee that there will be no obstructions along the way and he can reach Bozhou smoothly. As for those properties only bring some important things, and the rest can only be used to reward the subordinates who stayed behind. " Long Xiang listened to his idea of ??cutting off the gecko's tail. Although it was not as clever as taking the Forbidden City directly, there was room in it that he could use for his own use. He then said: "In this case, please ask Duke Zhang to send someone to kill Li Shida. , Yu Shenxing and other elders were invited. If he wanted to leave, he had to take them with him. " Zhang Jing said: "I'm afraid it won't work. How can these old people take care of their families and take care of themselves? Besides, they also have clan members, which is too much of a burden. I think it would be more convenient for a few of us to go. " "Don't worry, Governor Zhang, these people have been persuaded by me and understand that putting the monarch first is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. In order to realize the great cause, what can't be sacrificed by a mere clan or a small family? Just rest assured, when the time comes, all the elders will be able to give up those foreign things and follow us to Banzhou to do something great. Seeing his insistence, Zhang Jing was about to send someone to invite him. Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside, and someone rushed in, "Master Governor, something serious has happened. There is a group of people who have blocked the Yamen of our East Factory." "Zhang Jingshu said with a sharp expression: "Is it blocked? Who is so bold as to block the gate of our East Factory? Have you forgotten how to write the word "death"? Go and check, whose people have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? " "We have inquired, and it is the servants of Uncle Ning Yuan's family in Liaodong. The team is led by several young masters of Uncle Ning Yuan, saying that they are here to capture you according to the imperial decree. " "That's nonsense. A group of border troops from Liaodong came to Beijing without purpose, which was a rebellion. Still want me? This is clearly a conspiracy by Concubine Zheng's brother and sister to commit treason. I ordered them to go down and mount the entire army on the wall and guard it for me. No one is allowed to come in. We must fight these rebels to the end. "(To be continued)
