Chapter 109 (Elder Chen)

unately, the courier also had to have a holiday during the Spring Festival, and the letter from the eldest princess would probably not arrive until a few years later.New Year's Eve that night, with th...although the theory of dreaming is absurd, it can't stand simple and easy to use.

and previously, Huayang only used dreams to fool Chen Jingzong, this is the first time to persuade his mother and father to guard against the rebellion of King Yu, and even less worried.

about the rebellion of the king of Henan in the previous life, at the beginning of the war, the rebels won several victories because there were several generals, and in the middle of the war, the court began to dominate, while Chen Jingzong died at the critical juncture of pursuing the last 40, 000 troops of the king of Yu. shortly after the end of the war, the king of Henan was captured by the court, and the chaos ended completely.

at that time, although Huayang was very concerned about the war situation, she had no way to understand the situation on the battlefield. Her mother did not want her to inquire about this, and Huayang could not ask her father. Only her younger brother would tell her more, but basically he would bring her good news.

in the end, Huayang knew only a few generals among the rebels and the battle in which Chen Jingzong was killed. In the

Royal study, although Huayang had thought about how to describe it at night, and she could read those words fluently as a storyteller, she still looked nervous and disturbed, as if she was frightened by her father's dream, sometimes stuttering, sometimes repeating some words, disorderly.

Empress Qi and Chen Tingjian listened silently, and no one tried to interrupt her.

trusting dreams seems absurd and unconvincing, but Huayang actually knows the names of so many local generals, some of whom are not even in important positions at this time, and even Chen Tingjian has never heard of it or even taken it to heart. This has to be taken seriously by Empress Qi and Chen Tingjian.

Huayang only mentioned that the king of Yu assembled 200000 troops to attack the capital.

this is enough to make the mother's queen and father-in-law pay attention to their vigilance. It would be too detailed to finish the four-month war. She only had two hours of sleep at most last night, so she could not support so much in her dreams.

"Queen Mother, Old Cabinet, and Father asked me to tell you that King Yu must be stopped in advance."

Empress Qi looked at Chen Tingjian, saying that she would rather believe that her son's throne could be firmly seated.

Chen Tingjian mused for a few moments, then Chaohuayang nodded: "the princess can rest assured that the minister and his wife will make a perfect policy, but the princess must keep it a secret, and do not tell anyone, including his Royal Highness the Crown Prince, including the horse. When the prince was young, he was afraid of frightening him, while on the other hand, he was afraid that he might inadvertently reveal the secret. "

of course Huayang should do it.

Chen Tingjian said again, "it's time for the imperial concubine and Princess Nankang to wake for the late emperor, and ask the princess to go ahead, lest you and your wife are gone, and they suspect anything."

Queen Qi added: "did your father say whether their mother and daughter knew"

Huayang: "No, I don't think I know."

the news of the rebellion of the king of Yu in the previous life spread to the capital, and Lin Guifei was so scared that she was incontinent in public. If it was faked, Huayang would really admire her.

of course, whether Lin Guifei was faking or not, she was grounded in the dormitory, and it was not until the king of Yu was abolished that Lin Guifei was released and lived like a shadow in the harem from then on.

Queen Qi nodded to her daughter to leave.

after Huayang left, Empress Qi immediately asked Chen Tingjian, "how are you going to deal with it"

Chen Tingjian: "if the dream entrusted by the former emperor is true, if you want to stop the king of Yu from rising up, you have three plans."

"first, in the name of his wife or prince, he called the king of Henan back to Beijing for mourning, and took this opportunity to leave the king of Henan in the capital, and then gradually dismantled the traitors in Henan."

Queen Qi frowned and said in a voice, "since the death of Emperor Cheng, there will be no more cases of vassal kings going to Beijing for funerals, not to mention that it is inconvenient for me and the prince to make this edict. Even if the former emperor had spare power before he died, he would not summon the king of Yu to Beijing."

Chen Tingjian: "Yes, this plan is indeed inappropriate." The minister's second plan, regardless of the king of Yu, on the grounds that the former emperor's collapse of the capital required enhanced vigilance, several generals who would assist the king of Yu in the dream were first transferred to the capital, and then reliable generals were appointed to take over, so that the king of Yu had no army available. "

(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});

Queen Qi's brow did not stretch out as a result: "they were willing to support the king of Henan in just one month, and they must have colluded with the king of Yu. the plan of the court to transfer the tiger away from the mountain was too obvious, and they may not follow the decree and support the king of Henan to rise in advance."

Chen Tingjian: "what the empress is worried about is that although the minister may not go to war, each has its own shortcomings, so the third plan of the minister is to deploy troops to the Henan border first, so as to deter the king of Henan from sending troops and take the initiative to hand over the traitors."

Queen Qi was a little worried and looked at him in disbelief. "Why are all these unreliable ideas today" The court really sent a large army to suppress the border, and of course the king of Yu had a good sense of interest, for fear that he might break the net, and the court gave him a legitimate name of rebellion, saying that our mother and son had no room for him! "

in the face of Queen Qi's complaint, Chen Tingjian did not panic, looked up at her and said, "Minister stupid, these three are really the only three strategies that I can think of. I wonder if the Empress has any other ideas"

Queen Qi didn't. That's all she can think of. The three strategies either run counter to the ancestral teachings, or are not sure of complete success, or take the initiative to send a reason for rebellion to the king of Yu.

suddenly, there seemed to be something passing through the mind of Empress Qi. Looking at Chen Tingjian's unhurried attitude, Empress Qi immediately calmed down and took two steps close to Chen Tingjian, saying in a low voice, "Don't be an old cabinet. What on earth do you think"

how much Empress Qi trusts Chen Tingjian, Chen Tingjian trusts Empress Qi. At that time, it was Queen Qi who recommended him to Emperor Jingshun to teach for the crown prince. Later, he became the first assistant in the cabinet. In addition to his own efforts, he also had little support from Empress Qi.

seeing that Queen Qi understood her deep meaning, Chen Tingjian no longer concealed it and promised: "Niang Niang, Henan is indeed very close to the capital, but Henan is also surrounded by the capital, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Huguang, Nanzhili and Shandong. If the king of Henan really wants to rebel, he can only hope that the army will suddenly rise up and take the capital at the speed of Xunlei before the imperial court sends troops to encircle and suppress it." However, not to mention that we now know what he is going to do, and there is absolutely time to make arrangements in advance. Even without the dream entrusted by the late emperor, the three governments of Daming, Baoding and Zhending would still be enough to stop the king's army of Yu, and his subjects were willing to use their heads to guarantee this. "

Queen Qi was silent for a moment and trusted him. Chen Tingjian, the general of each government, consulted with Emperor Jingshun, and the Queen Qi knew very well that they were all fierce generals of this dynasty.

Chen Tingjian first persuaded Empress Qi not to worry about the safety of the capital, and then mentioned to Empress Qi the situation of vassal kings in Henan.

"Madam, including the King of Henan, there are now eight vassal kings in Henan, namely King Jing, King Zheng, King Zhou, King Tang, King Zhao, King Lu, King Hui and King Yu." In addition to the eight clan kings, their brothers and nephews have hundreds of county kings, including town generals, auxiliary generals and other patriarchal families, totaling more than 30,000. These clans occupy a total of 30% of the land in Henan. In addition, last year alone, the salaries of the clans in Henan alone accounted for more than 40% of the local food taxes, which was more than the salaries of the local garrison troops. "

Queen Qi nodded and motioned for him to go on.

Chen Tingjian: "the king of Henan rebelled, and the conscription and transportation of grain certainly could not avoid the eyes and ears of the other seven vassal kings. If they took the initiative to report to the imperial court, it would be in line with the painstaking efforts of his elders to canonize the vassal king, and the vassal king and the emperor worked together to maintain the stability of the rivers and mountains. If they conceal it and do not report it, they will help the king of Yu to revolt together. It is for the sake of the rebellious officials and thieves, and they should be punished together with the king of Yu. "

Empress Qi fully understood what Chen Tingjian meant.at nephews are like uncles. There is some truth in this. My eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of King Yu when he was a child."King Yu is the first son of Emperor Jingshun to live past hi...
