Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 277 Ask the Old Fox

Taking Yang Chao's crimes against Yang Chao by a faction of officials in the court, flooding the people is quite serious, and the political impact is extremely bad. If it is confirmed, Yang Chao's political future will basically be ruined.

Yang Chao originally planned to use this miraculous victory to attract the emperor's attention, and then ascend to the sky in one step to gain more power. If the emperor reuses Yang Chao, it doesn't need to be much, just let him train [-] soldiers, then a year later Yang Chao dared to guarantee that Li Zicheng would not be able to enter Beijing, and the Manchu Qing would have no chance to enter the customs.

Then give Yang Chao three years to basically put down the peasant army, and then transfer the troops to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that everything looked so beautiful and ideal, but it was shattered in such a way, which made people sigh.

Yang Chao couldn't help sighing in his heart, he had lost a chance to reverse the situation, the Ming Dynasty had lost a chance to change, and Emperor Chongzhen had lost a chance to turn the world around.

It's all because of party struggle!
Yang Chao is not stupid, he thinks he is a smart person, but Yang Chao admits that his political experience is too shallow, and he really can't see through the political battles in the court.

As a smart person, it is impossible for him to take it for granted. Yang Chao knew that he had to ask some people who knew the way. Shi Kefa didn't need to think about it. Chao wondered whether Shi Kefa was a sensible person.

So Yang Chao was in a hurry to go back to Nanjing. He was going to ask the old fox Xiong Mingyu for help. This old guy obviously saw everything clearly, and when he returned to Nanjing, Yang Chao still had many choices. But at least he can receive more inside information, which is better than guessing blindly in Huai'an.

Back at Xinjiangkou Camp, Yang Chao gave his soldiers a holiday in a very humane way. These people followed him from Nanjing to Huai'an, and then from Huai'an to Haizhou. Now that they are back, it's time to reunite with their families. The coffin was also sent back by the officers, and Zhao Kang was asked to pay special attention to this time.

Yang Chao rushed to find Xiong Mingyu without stopping.

Xiong Mingyu changed his temper and actually met Yang Chao, especially his smiling face surprised Yang Chao.

In fact, he was already prepared to be rejected by Xiong Mingyu. After all, according to Yang Chao's understanding, Xiong Mingyu was not a righteous person, but Yang Chao was prepared to be rejected by Xiong Mingyu, and turned to seek As for Huang Jin, although Huang Jin is not as experienced as Xiong Mingyu in terms of political experience, he is also up and down in his official career, and he is much more experienced than Yang Chao.

Xiong Mingyu not only met him, but also had a kind attitude. He enthusiastically invited Yang Chao to sit down, and immediately asked his servants to prepare meals.

This simply flattered Yang Chao. It seemed that Yang Chao was not in trouble, but that he was about to make a fortune.

Yang Chao admitted that he really couldn't see through Xiong Mingyu's thoughts this time. Although he had suffered from Xiong Mingyu's losses before, he knew it well and could always figure it out. Some are confused.

"Hahahaha, the old man congratulates General Yang. The Haizhou victory shocked the world. It really is a victory that I haven't seen for a long time."

Xiong Mingyu sincerely congratulated Yang Chao.

But for a person like him, it seems that he can't have anything to do with the word sincerity. The more normal he behaves, the more abnormal he is.

Yang Chao chuckled: "Thanks to Master Xiong's support, he dispatched the last general to Huai'an. This is such a great achievement. If you want to say the credit, it is Master Xiong who dispatched well."

Yang Chao hinted that Xiong Mingyu was able to go to Haizhou because he was transferred by Xiong Mingyu. Otherwise, he would have no chance to fight Haizhou. It wasn't that Yang Chao really wanted to give Xiong Mingyu credit. Their credit cannot be escaped, and one more point is not so contentious.

Yang Chao was actually saying that if Yang Chao committed a crime in Haizhou, you, Xiong Mingyu, would have nothing to do with it.

Xiong Mingyu smiled and said: "I don't dare to take credit for this old man. It's all thanks to the great blessing of the Holy Spirit, and you, General Yang, have worked hard."

What Xiong Mingyu meant was that if you win the battle, it's the emperor's blessing. It's you, Yang Chao, who led people to fight to the death. It has nothing to do with him.

Yang Chao's eyelids twitched. He really couldn't beat this old guy in this kind of game.

Soon the wine and meat came up, Yang Chao simply let it go, ate and drank a lot, and drank a few more glasses with an excuse, this was his plan to let go, he didn't plan to play charades with this old guy, he just pretended to be drunk , ask directly.

"My lord, the last general is in a catastrophe, dare to ask my lord, will the last general be able to escape the catastrophe?"

Of course, Yang Chao didn't think he would be questioned. Everyone knew that if he made such a great contribution, it would be a gold medal for avoiding death. The so-called catastrophe was just whether he could have a political future.

Xiong Mingyu paused suddenly, then pointed at Yang Chao and laughed.

Yang Chao stared at him and asked cautiously, "Why are you laughing, sir?"

Xiong Mingyu shook his head: "Yang Chao, I thought you were a smart person, but you turned out to be a fool."

Xiong Mingyu called him by his first name, which was a gesture of intimacy.

Yang Chao couldn't help but feel a little optimistic. Could it be that he didn't understand that he didn't have any adventures this time?Otherwise, why Xiong Mingyu did not avoid suspicion and dared to meet him, of course, it may be the reason why businessmen like Du Shouchang dare not get involved in political disputes in the court, but Xiong Mingyu is not afraid, but Xiong Mingyu suddenly laughed, which seems to indicate that Yang Chao seemed to be thinking wrong.

Xiong Mingyu pondered for a moment, drank a few glasses of wine, and motioned Yang Chao to eat.

Yang Chao reluctantly put down a few chopsticks, and all of them knew the taste of the food.

Under Yang Chao's expectation, Xiong Mingyu whetted Yang Chao's appetite, and then he said.

"Yang Chao, Yang Chao, where did you torment the old man's aura last year?"

Xiong Mingyu managed to catch the opportunity, but he didn't make good use of it, and taunted Yang Chao severely. It was true that Yang Chao made him very sad last year. In the end, he had to change his previous temperament and tear himself apart with Gu Zhaoji.

Yang Chao said with a sneer, "Lord Xiong, forgive me."

In my heart, I scolded the old guy for being narrow-minded.

Xiong Mingyu held his identity, waved his hand, and stopped playing charades with Yang Chao.

"Actually, you shouldn't have come, just let the old man taunt you."

Xiong Mingyu laughed.

Yang Chao was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

Xiong Mingyu asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Yang Chao smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid of the future."

Xiong Mingyu sighed, "Who is blocking your way?"

Yang Chao paused, that's right, who blocked his future?No one seems to be blocking?It's just that some people don't want to have a future for themselves and want to plant the blame on themselves.

Yang Chao could only say: "Someone framed Zhongliang."

Xiong Mingyu couldn't help but pooh: "Still framing Zhongliang, you, no one takes you seriously."

Yang Chao was taken aback again, no one took him seriously, so why did so many people impeach him?
"But!"

Yang Chao was about to defend himself.

Xiong Mingyu waved his hand: "You should know, that's not for you. It's for Zhou Yusheng."

Of course, Yang Chao knew that he was involved in the political struggle between the two factions in the DPRK. One faction was Zhou Yanru, and the other was the faction that defeated him. Why did he overthrow him? It was not because he was the chief assistant, who stood in that position? , Political opponents are indispensable, this is a power struggle, there is only strong and weak, there is no right or wrong, if you are strong, you will occupy that position, if you are not good, you will give way to the virtuous.

Yang Chao said: "My lord's words are true, it is indeed against Lord Yusheng, but he will be implicated in the end."

Xiong Mingyu shook his head and said, "Confused. What does it have to do with you. It's just a bad time for you to make contributions."

Yang Chao was puzzled: "Isn't it the time?"

Xiong Mingyu asked: "My old man asks you, if you don't make meritorious service, will the princes in the court not impeach Zhou Yusheng?"

Yang Chao shook his head.

This kind of political struggle will go on with or without Yang Chao. As long as the opponent thinks that he is strong enough to bring down Zhou Yanru, or feels that he has seized the opportunity, he will make a move. Once he makes a move, he will attack with all his strength until he succeeds in the end, or Total failure.

Xiong Mingyu asked again: "If you make meritorious deeds, the two factions have already decided the winner, does it still have anything to do with you?"

Yang Chao shook his head again.

If those people who fell into Zhou Dynasty had already moved to Zhou Yanru, maybe they really wouldn't care about themselves.

Xiong Mingyu took a sip of wine: "Then what are you worried about?"

Can Yang Chao not be worried, and said casually: "Don't play charades, my lord, and teach me what to do at the end of the day?"

Xiong Mingyu shook his head: "Wait!"

As soon as this word came out, Yang Chao suddenly understood in his heart that he had asked many times, and he should be laughed at again.

Obviously it has nothing to do with me, why should I be in a hurry, this time the credit was indeed not made at the right time, it happened to be caught in the fierce confrontation between Zhou Yanru and the people who were against the Zhou faction, and my credit became a major political achievement in Zhou Yanru's hands, And if the people who fell Zhou want to hit Zhou Yanru, they must erase their own credit.

It seems that Yang Chao is on the cusp no matter what, but Yang Chao can guarantee one thing, that is, no matter how insane he is, no one dares to accuse Yang Chao. It is easy to have Yang Chao's crazy record. If Yang Chao is accused, what will happen.

So Yang Chao is already invincible, so he just has to wait until Zhou Yanru wins and the Zhou faction wins alive.

It goes without saying that Zhou Yanru won the victory, and Yang Chaofei has made great achievements, but I am afraid that he will be branded by the Zhou faction in the future.

If the Inverted Zhou faction wins, Yang Chao loses his value. No one will continue to bite Yang Chao. As long as Yang Chao is fine, in this chaotic world, he will always be pulled out. You don't have to wait too long to get ready for a promotion.

So it seems to be on the cusp of the storm, but in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Yang Chao, it's just that two giants are playing around, taking the child as a reason to swoop around, no one takes this child seriously .

After trying to understand this truth, Yang Chao realized that it was Xiong Mingyu who had rich experience, and he could see through it at a glance. He was much better than Du Shouchang, so Du Shouchang could only be a salt merchant, while Xiong Mingyu was a minister.

Yang Chao left the table at this moment, and bowed deeply to Xiong Mingyu. If Xiong Mingyu hadn't woken up and went out to do some activities rashly, he really pushed any party, I'm afraid he would really be involved.
