Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1220

In Wenyuan Pavilion, several great scholars fell silent after hearing what Du Yinxi said.

Among the seven bachelors in the cabinet, except for Wang Fuzhi, who accompanied Wang Yan as a bachelor in the army, and Gu Yuanjing, who was patrolling Shandong and Henan, the remaining five were all in Nanjing.

These days, the city of Nanjing has been very lively, sometimes celebrating the victory of the Central Plains, recovering Luoyang, and sometimes celebrating the recovery of Shenjing, arguing whether to return the capital, but as the King of Chu is about to return to Beijing, these things are suppressed.

Right now, Nanjing, and even the whole world, only care about one thing, what will happen to King Chu after he returns to Beijing?
At this time, the five people were sitting on both sides of the hall with cold faces. From the censer in the corner, the refreshing green smoke rose slightly, and the tea and pastries on the nanmu table were untouched.

Yan Qiheng and Chen Bangyan belonged to the Chu sect, while Su Guansheng, Zhang Kentang and Du Yinxi were the defeated Tang Lu officials.

Wang Yan, the person involved, did not express his will in this kind of matter, and has always regarded himself as a good minister, so Yan Qiheng and Chen Bangyan could not replace Wang Yan to declare his attitude.

After all, this was treason, and they didn't say it out of conflict in their hearts, but Wang Yan didn't mean it when they wanted to say it out, and it wasn't easy for them to end.

As for Su Guansheng and Du Yinxi, they were not Wang Yan's confidantes, and they didn't know what Wang Yan was going to do. Under the oppressive atmosphere of Nanjing City, it was inevitable to make wild guesses.

Du Yinxi said something, seeing that few people were talking, his eyes fell on Chen Bangyan, staring at him and said: "Chen Xueshi, I have made it clear, so don't hide it. Say it, yes Haven’t you already planned a change of dynasty?”

Chen Bangyan followed Wang Yan very early, and he was Wang Yan's staff for several years. He was one of the leaders of the Chu faction civil servants. Du Yinxi felt that he must know something and participated in the planning.

When Du Yinxi said that, it was like bringing the matter to the table.

In history, there are many generals who won the victory and returned to the court, and immediately changed the dynasty.What's more, there is no reward for Wang Yan's achievements now.

Du Yinxi got a lot of news, plus the current situation, that's why he was so eager to clarify and ask clearly.

Chen Bangyan really doesn't know about this matter. Although he had private discussions with Yan Qiheng and other ministers of the Chu faction, there are also great differences within the Chu faction. Wang Yan didn't give a clear hint. He really doesn't know. , I have never heard that the king of Chu wants to climb Mount Tai.

Chen Bangyan was not very happy with Du Yinxi's aggressive tone. He frowned and was about to speak when Zhang Kentang moved his butt and said with a sneer: "Scholar Du should not be so angry, I think With His Highness's merits, even if you want to do something, I will support it."

After he finished speaking, he also took a look at Chen Bangyan and Yan Qiheng, as if telling them that he was on the side of King Chu.

Ever since Wang Yan defeated King Lu and let him go, Zhang Kentang has completely sided with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan originally planned to demote him to other places, but later found that the Chu faction might evade him and do many things behind his back, so he kept Zhang Kentang in the cabinet so that when his opinions were not in line with the interests of the Chu faction, , someone in the cabinet supports himself.

Seeing Zhang Kentang winking at the two of them, Du Yinxi immediately concluded in his heart that Chen Bangyan and the others were really plotting, otherwise Zhang Kentang would not be so eager to stand in line, he immediately became angry, stood up, and said angrily, "Sure enough, you guys still want to rebel after all!"

If Chen Bangyan and the others had no plan, Zhang Kentang shouldn't have stood in line. Su Guansheng's expression on the side also darkened, a little heartbroken, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind how that Wang Yan used to walk on this road of no return step by step. It will be infamous forever.

Chen Bangyan was really unclear about this matter, so he couldn't help staring at Zhang Kentang, who was in a hurry to stand in line, glanced at him, turned his head and said to Du Yinxi in a deep voice: "Scholar Du, Your Highness has made great contributions to recovering Shenjing." , and wholeheartedly for the country, you have no evidence, how can you slander His Highness? You have wronged us?"

Du Yinxi stared, "There is no evidence? Your people have already planned Taishan Fengchan, do you think I don't know?" He paused, and said sadly: "I misjudged him, this traitor is really powerful, When we arrived in Nanchang, we still acted as if we were being persecuted and had no choice but to kick out all the people who opposed him step by step, leaving us helpless, so that he could do whatever he wanted and do great rebellious things. .”

If Du Yinxi wants to see it this way, Wang Yan is really very scheming.

From violating Emperor Gaozong's will, instead of setting up the older Tang king, and setting up the eldest son of the emperor who was young and incapable of governing to succeed, a three-king regime was established to share the imperial power of Ming Dynasty.

After that, he forced the suzerains to relocate to Taiwan to attack the prestige of the royal family and weaken the power of the suzerains. Then they deliberately went on a western tour to induce the two vassals to rebel, and took the opportunity to eradicate the two vassals and take power alone. It was a step-by-step plan. For a long time!
What's more powerful, when he does these things, he obviously wins, but it gives people a feeling that someone wants to kill the lonely king, and the lonely king has no choice but to make such a bad move, or the lonely king is also for the sake of Daming.

At this time, it is analyzed from the perspective of conspiracy, but there is a gap of several years between these events, and Wang Yan is not a demon, so it is obviously impossible to count that far from the beginning.

Chen Bangyan and Yan Qiheng looked at each other, both of them showed a trace of astonishment, and the latter suddenly asked, "Feng Chan Taishan? Where did the Du scholar get the news?"

Seeing the reaction of the two, Du Yinxi couldn't help being slightly taken aback, it was a bit beyond his expectation, he asked puzzledly: "Don't you know?"

Chen Bangyan and Yan Qiheng heard some rumors, but they didn't act. How could there be a "Feng Chan Taishan", the two shook their heads together.

Du Yinxi saw that the expressions of the two did not seem to be fake, so he couldn't help calming down slowly. He only heard someone talk about it today, and he was furious for a while. It is rumored that on the way back to his master, the king of Chu will climb Mount Tai to sacrifice to heaven, succeed the emperor, and then lead the victorious army back to the court, forcing his majesty to abdicate and usurping the Great Ming Dynasty."

After hearing what he said, Chen Bangyan's expression darkened immediately, and he said decisively: "I don't know about this matter, and it wasn't His Highness's doing!"

He paused, then pursed his lips and said, "But I know who did it again!"

If what Du Yinxi said is true, it must be the actions of those warriors. With the temperament of the king of Chu, he would never enshrine Zen in Mount Tai and then return to Nanjing to force the emperor to abdicate.

The king of Chu cherishes his reputation so much, even if he wanted to usurp the throne, he would ask the emperor to offer abdication on his own initiative after returning to Nanjing, and the ministers of the Manchu court and the gentry of the people would persuade him to come in together. In order to show that you are in harmony with the sky, you will reluctantly ascend to the big position after you have done a full set of kung fu.

Chen Bangyan knew Wang Yan, and such direct force was the behavior of a martial artist, and Wang Yan would not do this.

As soon as Du Yinxi heard what he said, he also understood at this moment that he was just furious, and after hearing the news, he rushed directly to Wenyuan Pavilion to inquire about the crime, without thinking about it.

It's not just him, everyone here is not stupid, and everyone's face is downcast.

"What are they going to do, put on the yellow robes, and force the king of Chu to usurp the throne?" Su Guansheng's face was angry, because he was optimistic about Wang Yan's reform and the way of political struggle in the Ming Dynasty, so he gradually broke away from the king of Tang and turned to support Wang Yan reforms, to establish a new system.

There are many civil servants like him, who can be called the establishment faction in the court, some are the reformers in the Chu Party, and some are officials who recognize the council system and Wang Yan's propaganda ideas and seek the establishment of the establishment.

These people and Su Guansheng, who turned to support Wang Yan's reform, had a very critical time point, that is, when Wang Yan voluntarily gave up his military power, proposed to nationalize the army, take back the military power of feudal towns, and reset the five-army governor's office.

This is in the interests of the civil official group and Daming, so they began to stay away from Tang Lu, acquiescing to Wang Yan's attack on Tang Wang and Lu Wang.

But now it seems that the system is dead after all, and people are alive. This group of warriors actually surpassed them and wanted to help Wang Yan ascend the throne. This seriously damaged the interests of the civil official group and also destroyed the achievements of the establishment for many years.

"Those people in the Shun family!" Yan Qiheng sat on the side and sighed, "Gao Yigong came to me a few days ago and asked me if I support His Highness proclaiming emperor, I think His Highness took their military power and reset the Five Armies The Governor's Mansion just didn't want military generals to interfere in politics, especially in such a big matter, so they didn't say anything to Gao Yigong, and warned them not to act rashly. But if what Du Futai said is true, it must be that they want to force His Highness to usurp the throne gone."

Although Wang Yan has been protecting the Shunxie, there are still many people in the Ming Dynasty who hate the Shunxie, and many people in the Chu faction are unwilling to associate with the Shunxie.

Yan Qiheng, as a member of the civil servants, spontaneously dislikes generals breaking the rules, and now generals only care about fighting, and abolishing major events, how can they be manipulated by generals.

In fact, Gao Yigong also approached Chen Bangyan. Chen Bangyan's attitude was similar to that of Yan Qiheng. We should first look at what the King of Chu meant in this matter. The King of Chu didn't give any hints. He advised Gao Yigong not to act rashly.

Over the years, the generals have been quite obedient and basically listened to the orders of the cabinet, so the two academicians didn't take the Shun Department seriously, thinking that these things would never get them to worry about, so they didn't pay attention to their opinions, but now it seems , Shunxi didn't listen to them, and threw them away, and made his own plan.

After figuring out the situation, several people were silent for a while, but after a while, Du Yinxi suddenly said, "It's clear now, Gao Yigong and others want to force the king of Chu to rebel, and our cabinet must unify our opinions as soon as possible."

As he said that, he was the first to raise his hand, "Let me express my position first, I firmly oppose the king of Chu's rebellion."

"I don't support it either!" Su Guansheng was the second to raise his hand.

There were three people left, Zhang Kentang saw that Chen Bangyan and Yan Qiheng didn't raise their hands, so he didn't raise them either.

Seeing this, Su Guansheng said in a heavy voice: "Yanye! Zhensheng! Would you like to see the king of Chu being led on the road of treason by those warriors?"

Chen Bangyan sighed, "Old Su Ge still doesn't understand, if the general doesn't listen to the cabinet and the army wants to support His Highness, what can we do? Have you forgotten how Emperor Anzong came to the throne?"

Hearing the words, Su Guansheng's face paled for a while, Du Yinxi stood up suddenly, and said: "I want to go north immediately to meet the king of Chu, only he can control the army, if he usurps the throne, I will crash to death on Mount Tai!"

After hearing this, several people's expressions sank.
