Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1093
The fortune teller took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, said softly, "Eat slowly." He picked up the flag and left in a hurry.

The young man finished eating the wontons, paid the bill, and left the noodle stall, went to the west market to help the palace purchase some supplies, and then returned to the Tang Palace.

The fortune-teller left the noodle stall, walked around the streets with a banner, and did not take the initiative to solicit business. People on the street felt depressed, and no one took the initiative to ask for it.

So, the fortune teller walked through a few streets, passed through a few alleys, turned around, and disappeared into the streets...
In Tang Wang's mansion, the guards patrolled heavily. From time to time, guards holding spears and swords on their waists could be seen walking back and forth along the corridor.

These bodyguards are composed of the lower-level clan. When Su Guansheng reformed the clan Milu, he received the favor of the Tang king and joined the Japanese army composed of the clan. He was loyal to the Tang king.

They were not many in number, only a thousand or so. They were originally trained by King Yu, and now they are responsible for the safety of King Tang.

At this time, outside King Tang's study room, there were many elite guards, and none of the servants of the palace were allowed to approach. Inside, King Tang was discussing secretly with several people.

"I got the news from the cabinet that Wang Yan will return to Nanjing in mid-July." Sitting in the study, King Tang said to Wu Zunzhou and Zheng Xi: "At that time, someone will tell Wang Yan the route back to Beijing in advance. Jindu Town, Jiangxi must kill Wang Yan, so that we have a chance of winning."

Who is Wang Yan, the Prince of Chu in the Ming Dynasty, the regent of the imperial court, a person who is so powerful in China, everyone can only look up to him for a long time, but now they want to plan to get rid of him, I feel nervous and excited when I think about it.

Wu Zunzhou looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Wang Yan is always on guard against Jiangxi. When he went to Huguang, he would rather take a detour to Jiangbei and take the trouble to send the escort to the north bank than enter Jiangxi. But your Highness can rest assured, Jin Duzhen has secretly transported the troops to Anqing, as long as His Royal Highness gives an order, Wang Yan will be ambushed and killed."

As Jiangxi is a separatist force, the central government will naturally suppress it. This makes it difficult for Jiangxi officialdom to get promoted. Unless they leave Jiangxi and join the central government, they will have no chance to go further.

According to Emperor Gaozong's wishes, after his death, Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Chenggong both wanted to become kings, but now they have ruled together for four years, but their official titles have not risen at all, and they have not even received ordinary awards. On the court side, Ma Jinzhong and Hao Yaoqi, who are far inferior to them, have caught up with them one after another. He Tengjiao has become another king with a different surname after Wang Yan, and they are nowhere in sight, and they will even fall further and further away. The farther you go, the more you will end up becoming a mediocre existence.

In the four years since Jin Shenghuan returned to Jiangxi, he has basically never been moved, and his troops have not been mobilized by the court, of course, the main reason is that the court can't move them.

Now that he has been cultivating for four years, King Tang believes in his ability.

Hearing Wu Zunzhou's words, King Tang nodded, "So, this matter will be handed over to Jin Duzhen, but when doing things, don't make a clear sign."

Wang Yan was ambushed and killed on the way back to Nanjing. Everyone could have guessed that it was the Jiangxi side. Even if the banner was not used, the Chu faction knew it. After Tang Wang accepted Wang Yan's forces, he reached a compromise with the Chu faction.

In this world, there are many things that everyone understands, but an excuse is needed.

At this time, Zheng Xi on the side was a little confused, and asked, "Since Your Highness is Fengtian Jingnan, why didn't you clearly show the banner?"

Tang Wang shook his head, "The strong enemy in the north is looking around. Jing Nan is obviously not the right time. What is important is to kill Wang Yan quickly, and then reach a compromise with the court to force the court to accept the facts. Gulai will succeed as regent and lead the central government instead of To overthrow the imperial court and establish a new central government!"

The faction of Wang Yan is powerful, or in other words, the central government in Nanjing is powerful and already a relatively stable regime. If King Tang's plan is to overthrow the current central government, then the enemy he faces is too huge.

It is impossible for him to overthrow the central government, he can only integrate into it. His goal is to replace Wang Yan first, steal the central government created by Wang Yan, and then try to change like Wang Yan.

If his goal is to deal with the entire central government, which is really difficult, he will have to fight for at least four or five years, and he may not be successful.

If there were no Jin and Qing, King Tang might choose to completely defeat the Chu faction, but with powerful enemies looking around, he had to control the scale.

This time, his positioning is a military coup, just like Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate incident, which made Li Yuan accept the facts. He only needs to kill Wang Yan and force the Nanjing court to compromise, not to eliminate all Chu sects Power, even if he wanted to eliminate it, he might not be able to eliminate it.

If he had the intention of completely destroying the Chu faction, it would inevitably cause a strong counterattack. He Tengjiao in the southwest alone would be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, King Tang's plan was to kill Wang Yan, dump King Lu, and quickly compromise with the central government.

Jing Nan was proposed by King Lu. In the eyes of King Tang, King Lu had no good intentions.

At this time Jing Nan, the name is not right and the words are not right, in fact it is a rebellion.

Zheng Xi's level is limited, and some seem to understand, "Didn't your Highness reach an agreement with the King of Lu and propose to ask for peace?"

"It's difficult to calm down, and it's King Lu who wants to rebel. Gu will always stand by the court. King Lu hides the third prince Zhu, thinking that Gu doesn't know. He thinks that the oriole is behind, how can Gu make him happy. Gu promised him I want him to send troops from Zhejiang to Nanjing to help Gu put pressure on the imperial court and let the imperial court compromise with me, and once Gu and the imperial court reach an agreement, he can use the excuse of suppressing the rebellion to eliminate King Lu!"

The Nanjing court is the court ruled by the Tang Dynasty. The conflict between Tang and Wang Yan is who will control the power of the court, but it is a legal dispute between him and the King of Lu.Although the two came together because of Wang Yan, the conflict has not been resolved.

He agreed to Lu Wang's peace of mind, because he wanted Lu Wang to take the blame for his army, and he quelled the chaos, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Isn't His Highness going to stay in Nanjing? It's too dangerous! The name of the country means that His Highness wants to leave Nanjing and go to Fujian!" Zheng Xi was stunned for a moment.

King Tang shook his head, "Gu must stay in Nanjing. Once Wang Yan dies, Nanjing will inevitably be chaotic, and Gu needs to stand up. Zhejiang is close to Nanjing, but Fujian is far away. If King Lu controls Nanjing, Gu will fall short. gone."

"However, in the city of Nanjing, the imperial court is powerful. What if Gao Yigong and others hear that Wang Yan was ambushed, and it will be unfavorable to His Highness?" Zheng Xi worried.

"Gu will give King Lu a wrong time to send troops ahead of time. At this time, Jiangxi has just started. It is impossible for the court to get the news of Wang Yan's being ambushed. It will only discuss with Gu. At that time, Gu will try to control Gao. Yigong and others." Tang Wang squinted his eyes and said: "At this time, the imperial court saw that King Lu's army was approaching Nanjing, and the Zhejiang navy blocked the Yangtze River, and then got the news of Wang Yan's death, so he could only rely on himself to fight against King Lu."

The king of Lu wanted the king of Tang to rebel and seize the throne of the little emperor, and then he would send troops to suppress the rebellion. Now that it was difficult for Tang Wang Jing, it would be difficult for Lu Wang Jing to rebel.

The fortune teller walked east and west, and after a while, he walked to the back door of Beizhen Fusi and entered.
