Chapter 459

Under the outer corridor of the Ganqing Hall, Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, stood there with a worried look on his face.

"I heard that His Majesty's will not only promote Liu Jiye to the King of Han, but also only made him the new king, Guru's minister, and let him take full control of the state before the emperor takes power?"

"Yes." Wu Yan looked much older. "Maybe Your Majesty's last words have not been explained yet, but unfortunately Your Majesty has passed away."

"Then wouldn't he be the regent? It's outrageous. There was never such a thing in the Ming Dynasty. How could this be done? Is the ancestral system still necessary? Also, why did Your Majesty go to the West Mountain to control artillery, why did the cannon explode? Why didn't those guards accompanying you dissuade Your Majesty and why didn't you protect Your Majesty? I doubt that this matter wouldn't be so simple."

"Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence."

"It's not entirely nonsense. Your Majesty's personal guards are all Liu Jun's old subordinates, from officers to soldiers. And the guns and cannons of His Majesty's Dragoon Company were all transferred from the guards' personal guards' personal guards. The guns and cannons made by the Chu army have always been excellent. It is impossible for the equipment of the guards to be shoddy. Moreover, since they were transferred to His Majesty's hand, had they not been tested in advance, why did Your Majesty blow up as soon as he used it? If there was no ghost here, I would never believe it."

"But Your Majesty's will, the King of Dingsheng, ordered Liu Jiye to assist in the administration. Your Majesty did not ask me to assist in the administration. What kind of face does this old man in the court have to keep? I will resign after His Majesty's funeral."

Chen Xinjia was anxious, and his beard was trembling with anger. "Yuan Fu is confused. When is it now? You are still thinking about someone. Have you ever thought about it? What if the cannon explodes is not an accident? Have you ever thought about the terrible possibility? At this time, only Yuan Fu can suppress Liu Jiye. If you leave, it will be that the relatives will suffer and the enemy will be happy. King Ding is only ten years old and he still doesn't know anything. If Liu Jiye is allowed to assist in the administration alone, the country of Ming Dynasty will be over for more than 200 years."

Wu Yan didn't hear it at all, but he didn't refute it. He was just silent.

"Yuan Fu, now I don't care about anything else. I think the most important thing is to immediately disarm the guards' personal army. These people are seriously dereliction of duty and are not qualified to guard the palace city and the guards."

"What to do?" Wu Qing said, "Although the guards are not large in number, the total number of guards in the imperial city, the palace city guards, the accompanying guards and the Yi Guards are more than 10,000. These people are selected from the Chu army. Liu Jun's confidant was also the commander of the nine gates guarding the inner and outer cities of the capital. Liu Yunsheng was the governor of the nine gates guarding the inner and outer cities of the capital. He led a total of 30,000 imperial guards, and the entire inner and outer cities of the capital were under his control. In addition, there were 8,000 troops in the five cities of the capital. The commander was Luo Ping'an, Liu Jun's disciple, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard also had many captains. The commander was Liu Qiao, who was Liu Jun's uncle. Liu Jiye was now in Tongzhou not far from the capital with 50,000 troops."

Of course Chen Xinjia knew this. Liu Jiye has now taken control of the inside and outside the capital.

"Sir, only by letting go of the game now can you have a glimmer of chance. Otherwise, it would be too late to wait for the people in the palace to come to Tongzhou to summon Liu Jiye."

Chen Xinjia walked two steps closer. They stood in the corridor outside the hall, with no one on either side, and the pale palace lanterns were dim. You could vaguely hear the crying sounds coming from the hall.

"Sir, I have a good relationship with the admiral of the East Factory, and the family of the honors of the capital often move around. As long as the adults are willing to support me, I can contact them immediately. I will disarm the guards' personal army tonight."

"I have to remind you that the guards' personal troops have more than 10,000, and the East Factory may not be able to disarm them. And even if the guards' personal troops are removed, there are also the imperial guards, the Five City Military Commanders, the Jinyiwei, and even Liu Jiye from Tongzhou. How do you plan to solve the problem?"

"We cannot sit and wait for death, we must first control people. Although there are many personal guards, there may not be no way to solve the problem. Use the troops from the East Factory. Summon the officers of the personal guards to focus on the matter and then take them down in one fell swoop. In this way, the personal guards will be inseparable. Then we joined forces with the honorary relatives in the capital to take Liu Qiao, Liu Yunsheng and his son, and control the Imperial Guards, the Five City Military and Horses were just some yamen runners and patrolmen, and it is not to be afraid."

Wu Qi's face was calm and he looked at Chen Xinjia coldly, "Don't say how much chance of winning this plan is, I just ask one question, where is Liu Jiye from Tongzhou?"

Chen Xinjia took another step forward, leaned into Wu Yan's ear and said quietly, "Then I have another plan to summon Liu Ye to Beijing. When he enters Beijing and meets the palace, he will arrange for the killers of the East Factory to hunt them down. Even if necessary, we can abolish King Ding and establish a new king."

"Are you crazy?" Wu Qi's eyes flashed with anger, "Your Majesty's body is not cold. We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but now we are discussing these things. This is infidelity and unrighteousness."

Chen Xinjia took a step back and said coldly, "It's time, let's talk about these things. This opportunity is only once. If we miss it, there will be no chance. Or, let's all write rhetoric and abandon the official town, and don't care about how the world will change."

"Liu Jun may not be a traitor."

"After Liu Jiye was really in charge of the government, it was just a matter of a slaughter in the world. Who would not be moved by the temptation of such an opportunity? Liu Jiye is not a saint, he is just a young man in his twenties."

"There are always loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness in the world."

"Compared with the world, what are those?" After saying that, Chen Xinjia had no intention of persuading him and turned around and left.

Wu Yan went to the hall and looked at the palace servant who began to organize his remains for the emperor, and was in a daze.

He was thinking that what Chen Xinjia said really made sense. In the face of the throne of Jiangshan, no benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty and filial piety is worth mentioning. Emperor Taizong of Tang had the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Emperor Taizong of Song had the candlelight and axe shadow. Even Chengzu of this dynasty also had the country that Jingnan raised an army and seized from his nephew.

The most ruthless imperial family.

Liu Jiye was barely considered half of the royal family, and another powerful minister who held half of the military power in the world. Gao Huan, Yu, Wen Tai, Liu Yu, Chen Baxian, Yang Jian, who was not a powerful minister usurped the throne.

But the plans proposed by Chen Xinjia were not very feasible. Although Liu Jiye was not in the capital, he was all his confidants and soldiers.

Later, Wu Yan went to the General Office. Although the emperor ordered Liu Jun to be the new emperor's minister of the reign, Liu Jun is still in Tongzhou, and Wu Yan has to take charge of the situation in the capital first.

In less than a year, the two emperors died one after another, and they all died unexpectedly, which made the court unprepared. Chongzhen had just been buried, and Longwu died here again, and there was no mountain monument. Fortunately, the inner treasury and the national treasury still have money, so he was not so panicked.

"Invite the king's heart." Wu Qing called his subordinate, "No matter what he is busy with, he must invite him immediately."

In the living room of the cabinet assistant, Wang Zhixin froze and looked down at the teacup on the table. At this time, he regretted it. He never expected that this assistant would make such a horrifying proposal.

This is really a deadly proposal. The assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of War actually wanted to kill the future regent. They even wanted to abolish the emperor and establish a new king.

Wang Zhixin really wants to tell Wu Xin, do I know so well with you? You dare to do such a big deal with me. He is not even familiar with Wu Xin, and at most he is a little closer to Chen Xinjia, but this closeness is just that Chen Xinjia has given him some money in the past. He, the admiral of the East Factory, just wants to make a personal relationship in the court.

In comparison, he felt that he was closer to the newly-private Han King. After all, even in terms of the money he received, the money he gave to the king of Han was not comparable to that of Chen Xinjia.

Wang Zhixin has fully understood the plans of Wu Yan and Chen Xinjia.

Emperor Longwu suddenly died and left a last word on his deathbed to let King Ding succeed the throne, but only appointed Liu Jun as the minister of Gushi. Wu Yan was unwilling to accept such a result. He and Chen Xinjia were preparing to kill Liu Jun, and even wanted to abolish the new emperor and make Yong Wang the emperor.

But whether it was Wu Yan or Chen Xinjia, they were just civil officials, and they had no generals or soldiers. If they wanted to complete the plan, they could only rely on those with soldiers. Inside and outside the capital, the current soldiers and generals who led the troops were Liu Jun's people.

In addition to him, the admiral of the East Factory, he was directly under the command of the emperor. Although the power of the East Factory is not as good as in the past and is limited to the investigation and surveillance, there are still many secret spies.

Wu Qing frowned and looked at Wang Zhixin, "The Ming Dynasty is in danger, and only our loyalty can save the situation. No matter what, Liu Jiye cannot monopolize the government and steal the Ming Dynasty. Admiral Wang, we need you, the Ming Dynasty needs you."

"I understand." Wang Zhixin said, "But Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager do not think that Liu Jiye is a traitor."

Wu Qi and the king looked at each other, "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager were deceived by Liu Jiye."

"We are alone and lonely."

"The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the swaying of the stern part shows loyal ministers. This is the time to test our loyalty."

"It would be nice if Liu Jiye can be assassinated, but there is no need to abolish King Ding."

Wu Qian said, "Are you sure you can assassinate Liu Jiye? It's best to be more secretive and not leave any way."

"Liu Jun is now in the camp of Tongzhou, among tens of thousands of troops. It is difficult to ascend to the sky if he wants to kill him in the camp."

"Why send someone to intercept and assassinate halfway?"

Wang Zhixin still shook his head, "It's hard to assassinate halfway. In fact, maybe Lord Yuan Fu was over-concerned, maybe Liu Jun would loyally assist His Majesty and protect the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Yan glared at him, "Do you think it's possible?"

"In fact, there is another choice. If you have a saying, you will know the current affairs and be a hero."

"This is not what the Ming ministers should say."

"Then there is only one way left. I suggest that we will stop holding our troops for the time being. We will immediately send people to Tongzhou to announce the imperial edict to summon Liu Jun to the capital. Then secretly set up warriors in the palace, and suddenly hunt them when Liu Jun enters the palace to meet him. Once Liu Jun is eliminated, when King Ding succeeds to the throne, Yuan Fu will still be the servant, and will be the minister of the reign of his life."

"Are you sure you can do it in the palace?"

"Don't worry, Dongchang promises to handle this matter. After the matter is completed, after the Lord becomes the new king, the minister of the regent, he hopes to promote our family." Wang Zhixin said with a smile.

"After the matter is completed, I will guarantee you to be the eunuch who is the governor of the Sili Supervisor!"

"One word is determined!" (To be continued.)
