Good morning Daming

Chapter 1085 Water Falls
Jiang Qingzhi is still in the palace at this moment.

"Meet Long Wilbur."

Rui Jingxian came and said with a smile: "This time, Chang Wei Bo gave me such a great honor in the south. I would like to thank him here."

During Jiang Qingzhi's trip to the south, the East Factory performed brilliantly and completed many tasks with his cooperation. The Taoist praised Rui Jingxian for this, and Rui walked with a breeze and smiled at everyone he saw during those few days.

Jiang Qingzhi said: "It's a small matter."

Rui Jingxian said: "We also know something about Sun Ying's affairs. There is a shadow of the royal family behind that gambling house. Let me be honest, it is a hornet's nest. Your Majesty poked it after ascending the throne, and the result was..."

"My head is covered with stings." Jiang Qingzhi said what Rui Jingxian did not dare to say.

I didn't say that... Rui Jingxian sighed, "We have clear grudges. If you have something to say, please tell me. I have many spies in the capital, so I can tell you what information you want. As for taking action, I think you don't think highly of our people."

Jiang Qingzhi nodded to show his appreciation, "No need."

"Long Wilbur is not afraid?"

"You think I need to be scared?"

Jiang Qingzhi saw Ma Song.

He originally thought that the Taoist priest would ask Yanqi to cooperate with him, but he did not expect that it was Ma Song who came.

Before the Northern Expedition, Jiang Qingzhi had the thousand cavalrymen under Ma Song act as imaginary enemies and conduct drills against the Beijing guards in turns.

This thousand cavalry also participated in the Northern Expedition, and were arranged by Jiang Qingzhi to sneak behind enemy lines. They eventually raided Altan Khan's grain route and camp and achieved remarkable success.

Ma Song was very happy to see Jiang Qingzhi. "After the Northern Expedition, I have been wondering when I could join forces with Chang Wei Bo again. I didn't expect that my wish would come true. Hahahaha!"

Jiang Qingzhi liked this eunuch who took Zheng He as his role model, and asked with a smile: "Why, can't you stay in the palace anymore?"

"After returning to the palace, I dreamed of fighting. When I woke up, I found myself in the palace. To be honest, if it weren't for the responsibility of guarding His Majesty, I would rather go to the nine borders as a small soldier. As long as I can kill the enemy, it's enough!"

There has never been a shortage of talented people in the palace, such as Zheng He and others in the past, Ma Song in front of us, and Huang Jin and others.

As for Wei Zhongxian who came later...to be honest, this guy did some things, such as collecting taxes, but the results were minimal.

The one directing all this behind Wei Zhongxian was Emperor Tianqi. This emperor learned something from Emperor Jiajing and pushed Wei Zhongxian out to fight against other ministers, while he hid behind the scenes and controlled everything remotely.

But he learned the Taoist's methods, but forgot what happened to him.

Dao Ye was murdered several times in his life!

When Emperor Tianqi fell into the water, Jiang Qingzhi was convinced that he must have thought of his ancestor Emperor Zhengde and Daoye.

At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, the most brutal struggle between the emperor and his subjects in history occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde fell into the water and died of illness. Daoye was attempted assassination several times and was forced to hide in the Western Garden.

Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and died of illness...

People in later generations would probably be curious when looking at this history, wondering why the Ming emperors were so unlucky?

You fell into the water and I fell into the water. You almost got burned to death and I almost got drowned...

If Jiang Qingzhi had not appeared, Daoye would still have to continue to hide in Xiyuan until the last moment of his life.

"Your Majesty ordered us to obey Chang Wei Bo's orders." Ma Song said bitterly, "We just learned about that matter. The traitors should be executed. What should we do? Chang Wei Bo gives us a word, and we will take care of this matter. We will never let Chang Wei Bo be attacked by the royal family."

This responsibility is rare.

Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile: "I am not worried about having too many debts, and I am not itchy when I have too many lice."

Why does he need Ma Song to block the knife?

Ma Song praised: "It is indeed Long Wei Bo, so heroic. Since Long Wei Bo is like this, then let's... send someone!"

Two armored soldiers came over, and Ma Song said, "Tell the brothers to assemble!"

Hundreds of cavalry gathered outside the West Garden, and the news soon spread everywhere.

"Dad, those are the palace cavalry." Yan Shifan's face was solemn. "The guards were hired after His Majesty moved into the Western Garden. They have only been deployed once since their establishment..."

"The time of the Northern Expedition." Yan Song nodded. "Your Majesty is sending out this cavalry again today. What is the purpose? Is it... someone plotting a rebellion?"

"The imperial guards are here! Who dares to rebel?" Yan Shifan shook his head. At this time, someone came to report, "Prime Minister, Junior Minister, Chang Wei Bo took those cavalry away."

"Jiang Qingzhi!" Yan Song's hand stroking his beard froze, "What are you doing?"

Yan Shifan asked, "Where did you go?"

“No one dares to follow and investigate.” The man lowered his head.

"Idiot!" Yan Shifan was angry.

Yan Song shook his head. "That's Jiang Qingzhi. How could he allow others to spy on his movements when he is deploying troops? And Altan can't do that either. Why are you making things difficult for him?"

Yan Shifan said: "I am afraid Jiang Qingzhi wants to kill the monkey to scare the chickens."

……

Dechang Marquis Mansion.

Sun Jia and his brothers knelt on the ground and saluted, and the visitor returned the salute and comforted him.

"Brother Sun was a pillar of the country, but unfortunately he has met with misfortune. If you need my help, please let me know."

"Thank you." Sun Jia lowered his head with joy in his eyes.

His father died, and he was the heir to the title of Marquis. But Sun Ying died in a hurry, and many of his connections were not explained clearly. Sun Jia was very anxious about this, but he did not expect these people to come to him on their own initiative.

As long as these connections can be maintained, the Marquis' Mansion will be able to remain standing in the capital.

But the gambling house has some troubles.

"Lord, the gambling house is surrounded, and our people can't get any information."

Sun Jia frowned, "What is Jiang Qingzhi trying to do? Threaten us?"

"He wants to exchange!" someone said.

"Use the gambling house to exchange for Dou Jialan!" Sun Jia sneered, "He has a good idea, but the hatred for my father is irreconcilable."

An aide said, "Lord, the court meeting is in the next few days, and those people are gearing up to attack Jiang Qingzhi's proposal to invade Japan. Does he dare to make enemies now?"

"Yeah! Just for a guard, is he crazy?"

Everyone was talking at once, and they were all very optimistic.

Sun Jia felt relieved, "The gambling house is not only owned by the Marquis' Mansion. Our family has this thing blocked, so we can just sit back and watch those people take action."

"Great idea, Mr. Dalang!"

"Oh no!"

At this time, there was a cry of surprise from outside, and Sun Jia cursed: "How can you yell so loudly?"

"What's that sound?" An aide listened, "Why does it sound like the sound of horse hooves?"

The sound of horse hooves gradually became faster and more frequent.

Then someone shouted, "Surround it, no one is allowed to go in or out!"

Sun Jia's face changed color. "Let's go see who it is?" "It's the cavalry!"

A servant rushed into the mourning hall, "Sir, it's the cavalry!"

"What cavalry?" Sun Jia stood up by pressing on the ground. When he looked around, he saw a man appear at the gate.

"Jiang Qingzhi!"

Jiang Qingzhi walked in surrounded by a group of armored soldiers.

The guests who came to pay their respects were stunned. Some felt something was wrong and bowed: "I have something to do and will leave first."

He had just taken a few steps when a soldier stopped him.

"I am only here to offer my condolences..."

"Go to the wing room." Xu Wei pointed to the wing room.

"What are you waiting for?" the man shouted, "I am a member of the royal family..."

"Drag him away." Jiang Qingzhi was waiting for the royal family and couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

Two soldiers dragged the man to the wing.

Then came a voice asking questions.

He actually asked what kind of dealings this person had with the Marquis' Mansion.

And it means torture.

This is……

Ma Song came in, "Long Wilbur, surround them all."

"it is good!"

At this time, Sun Jia came out and asked, "What does Long Wei Bo mean by this?"

"Copy the house!"

Jiang Qingzhi raised his hand and waved, "Go!"

Sun Jia shouted, "This is revenge, Jiang Qingzhi, you are seeking revenge! His Majesty will not forgive you! The public opinion in the world is overwhelming, you can't cover up everything with one hand...Ah!"

The Western Chief Advisor slapped Sun Jia's mouth with his scabbard and cursed, "Quack!"

"Paul, you're so damn cruel. I can't even say this." Sun Bu Tong said dissatisfiedly.

Boer glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and asked, "Do you think the uncle needs a confession?"

Sun Bu Tong was startled for a moment, then he understood, "You mean..."

"The goal is to conquer Japan, and the Sun family is just a victim of the struggle between the two sides." Bol saw that Sun Bu Tong had suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "Among those who oppose the conquest of Japan recently, the royal family has a loud voice. They are shouting at the top of their lungs that the Emperor Taizu Gao is still alive in heaven, and he will definitely be furious. Whoever breaks the ancestral system will not have a good death..."

Recently, many memorials have been sent in by princes from all over the country, and the contents are all the same, all opposing the invasion of Japan.

What is behind the opposition?
The princes were worried that the task of confiscating land and population would fall on their heads.

When the vassal kings were enthroned, the emperor would reward them with a large amount of land. After the enthronement, many vassal kings were rotten, since they treated me like a pig, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Land annexation became their favorite pastime.

If you want to criticize them, they will say confidently: "I have many children and grandchildren, and I have not annexed the land. Do you think you can take care of them?"

Compared with the difficulty of the emperor in having children, the princes gave birth to sons just like giving birth to piglets, one litter after another.

How to support so many royal family members?
The Ministry of Revenue called it poor.

The emperor had no surplus food.

Wouldn’t it be better if I could solve it myself?

It became an unspoken rule that the superiors and subordinates had a tacit understanding and watched the princes annex land in the local area.

The first thing the new policy did was to cancel the tax-free privileges of the meat-eaters. There were rumors that the next step would be to target royal families.

I will continue what I didn’t finish when I ascended the throne.

Naturally, the princes were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for death. As soon as Jiang Qingzhi proposed to conquer Japan, he immediately aroused strong opposition from this group.

——We are not interfering in politics, we are defending our ancestral system!

Who can question this excuse?

Once the royal family joins forces, the power... To be honest, the current public opinion believes that Confucianism is opposed to the new policy. Although the powerful people seem to have bowed their heads, if the momentum is not right, they will turn against it without hesitation.

If the royal family stands against the new policy, the Taoist priest will soon be deserted by his relatives and friends.

Therefore, when that person said that he was a member of the royal family, it had a bit of a "try to touch me" flavor.

Then you will get benevolence if you seek it.

Jiang Qingzhi sat outside the gate of the marquis's mansion with his horse and sword in his arms. Boll once again seized the opportunity and lit the incense for his boss.

"Uncle, that man confessed."

Sun Bu Tong came out, and Boer waved the fire at him provocatively. Sun Bu Tong pointed at him and said, "There is a royal family behind the gambling house."

"Which king is it?" Jiang Qingzhi asked with a smile.

"Yes……"

Sun Bu Tong reported a title of king.

Everyone gasped.

"Ma Song." Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of medicinal smoke.

Ma Song came over, "Long Wilbur."

"Are three hundred cavalry enough?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.

"enough!"

"We'll change the horses but not the people. Three days later, I want to see the king come to the palace to apologize!"

"Leader!"

Three hundred riders rushed out of the capital.

"My Lord, Sun Jia has confessed." Sun Bu Tong came again, "Also, the steward of the Marquis's Mansion said that Sun Ying was drunk at the time and was rude to Dou Jialan."

Xu Wei said coldly: "Lecherous person!"

The gap in the case has been found.

But the case became a supporting role, and the palace coup that year surfaced and became the protagonist.

Jiang Qingzhi stood up and said, "This day has finally come."
