Chapter 465 Soldiers approaching Jinling City

The news sent by Xu Huizu has been circulating in a small area in the capital. Liu Chun is very likely not dead, he is still alive!

This is not unacceptable. After all, Liu Chun went to heaven and earth to escape, and the officials and people in the capital still remembered the things he did, and even talked about them with relish. If such a powerful man died, wouldn’t he lose a lot of fun?

For example, many wealthy ladies in the capital breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. It turned out that Liu Lang was still alive, and my Liu Lang was safe and sound! I knew, how could such a young and handsome Liu Lang die easily?

In addition to these idiots, Liu Chun's former old subordinates were all eagerly looking forward to Liu Chun's life. But for the princes in the court, this was not a good thing!

"Sure! Sure enough!"

Huang Zicheng lamented: "I blamed Jing Qing and his group for killing Liu Chun at the sea. You don't have any brains. Is it so easy for Liu Chun to die?

He must kill him at the sea without knowing it.

People like Liu Chun who don’t watch him be dismantled with their own eyes can’t believe that he is dead. Moreover, even if he is dismantled with all his money, it will not work. It is best to crush his bones and ashes and not even leave any residue to ensure that Liu Chun’s complete death!

OK, in Huang Zicheng's eyes, Liu Chun is no different from a monster.

Liu Chun is proud to be able to leave such a deep shadow on Master Huang.

However, Fang Xiaoru was more complicated. To be honest, he agreed with Liu Chun’s reform goals, but Lao Fang always felt that he should be open to scholars and give some decent and preferential treatment.

However, as time went by in the court, Fang Xiaoru's disappointment with Shilin became stronger and stronger. It's not that Shilin is all bad guys. In fact, there are many interesting scholars. Once everyone is in poetry and wine, it is definitely a great joy in life even when talking about ancient and modern times. But once we talk about land, taxes and labor service... the Shilin is full of criticism, and even those gentlemen have to tell lies against their conscience.

What is the difficulty of people's livelihood? The court cannot exploit excessively or lose the hearts of the people... If you say this, you are not afraid of fever on your face. You are all corvee and tax levy, just to solve people's livelihood problems and win over the hearts of the people.

It turns out that in the eyes of the scholars and officials, they are the people, the emperor in the palace, the subjects of His Highness... except them, they are all slaves who seek and ask for help, and they are not qualified to be regarded as human beings at all.

Perhaps Liu Chun is right. If you want to reform, you cannot be polite to the scholars.

The scholar-officials not only will not support reform, but on the contrary, they are the biggest obstacle to reform... "Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru, you claim to be a wise man, but you can't even understand such a few principles! It's not that you can't understand, you live in a dream and don't want to understand!"

Lao Fang sighed helplessly that Liu Chun was not dead, maybe it was a good thing.

With Liu Chun here, Your Majesty will not reject reform, or in other words, under pressure, he has to reform.

After all, the imperial court still has an advantage. As long as the reform is implemented, the country is prosperous and the army is strengthened, and the King of Yan is wiped out.

Lao Fang kept comforting himself.

But just when he was almost hypnotizing himself, Lan Yu was in Fengyang and hit Fang Xiaoru with a stick, knocking him to the head, making him dizzy and soon woke up again.

"broken!"

Lao Fang immediately entered the palace. When he arrived, all the officials of the six ministries, including Huang Zicheng, Huang Guan and others.

"His Majesty!"

Fang Xiaoru said first: "Lan Yu attacked Dingyuan County, and it seems that he was going to occupy Fengyang. If he led his troops and attacked the canal, something would be a big deal."

Fengyang is not far from the Grand Canal, and it takes only one day to ride a horse. If Lan Yu cuts off the canal, hundreds of thousands of people in Hebei will face the danger of overturning at any time. It can be said that it is a huge rush and extremely critical.

Huang Zicheng said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Fang, everyone knows what you said, but the problem at the moment is that there are no generals in the capital. Lan Yu is a tiger. Who can subdue him?"

Fang Xiaoru hesitated a little and said, "I recommend my son-in-law Mei Yin!"

"Mei Yin?"

"Yeah!" Lao Fang said: "The prince-in-law Mei Yin has led troops many times, is experienced and loyal to His Majesty. This person can be used!"

It has to be said that it is too rare for generals in the court to be the only one.

Geng Bingwen, who had to use the old Geng Bingwen on the battlefield in Hebei, had to support him in Luoyang, and Li Jinglong, as for Tie Xuan, Sheng Yong and others, were still a little short of time. He was either lacking experience or lacking prestige.

Since the Jingnan War, the lack of military generals has always troubled Zhu Yunwen.

Now the only one who can make a move in the capital is Mei Yin, the prince-in-law who can be sent to do it, is natural.

Huang Zicheng said: "Mei Yin is indeed the best candidate, but Mei Yin alone may not be Lan Yu's opponent!" Huang Zicheng said politely. There is a level difference between Lan Yu and Mei Yin. Letting Mei Yin deal with Lan Yu is almost the same as killing death.

"I will give Changxing Hou a decree, asking him to divide his troops south, and then recruit local local tyrants from Huaixi to help the court and wipe out the rebels together."

Lao Fang gathered out three armies, and the court officials finally felt reliable. At least they felt that they had a chance of winning. Even if Lan Yu was powerful, she would only have more than 10,000 mobs, and could she still turn against the will of heaven?

When everyone has confidence, they have no idea what to do. They brag about all kinds of bragging words, such as winning the flag, and making a move... Anyway, they think Lan Yu is already a dead person.

Zhu Yunwen's nervous mood was a little relaxed. He issued an order to Mei Yin to order 30,000 troops to encircle Lan Yu, and authorize him to control the troops in both Huaihe Rivers.

In a word, the capital has been emptied and we must rely on local garrisons and rural brave men.

Mei Yin was mobilizing troops and preparing to send troops.

Just one day before the troops were sent, the sky had just lighted up, and people gathered at the city gate early... The merchants inside wanted to go out of the city to buy, or leave with goods, while the people around the capital carried vegetables and grain to Beijing to deliver goods.

Both of the consignees couldn't help but notice the notice on the city gate.

It's inside and outside, and I don't know when it was posted.

The above content is not complicated. The general meaning is that the former prince’s young master Liu Chun, after sank in Lingdingyang, was lucky enough to die. He traveled to the sea and finally returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, Liu Chun would carry the fleet north to Jinling and come to pay homage to the emperor.

Liu Chun wanted to ask the emperor two things... First, why did he sink by boat? Can't your Majesty tolerate a minister? Second, why did your Majesty betray the ancestors of the late emperor? As the troubles are all because of Your Majesty overthrow the reform. As the emperor's teacher, Liu Chun begs Your Majesty to follow the will of the heavens and the public, change his course immediately, sincerely admit his mistakes to the late emperor, eliminate the treacherous and slander around him, and re-implement the reform.

In this way, the people will be very lucky and the country will be very lucky!

When many people saw Liu Chun’s notice, their first reaction was to laugh!

That's right!

If Liu Chun really regarded himself as Zhu Yunwen's minister, why wouldn't he write a letter directly, but posted notices everywhere?

Everyone knew in their hearts that Liu Chun had broken up with Zhu Yunwen, but the notice said that Liu Chun wanted to bring troops into Beijing.

Isn't this too big a word?

Even if you, Liu Chun, are not dead, where can you get troops?

This is a bit too big, right? What you can count on is Zhu Di, but Zhu Di is not able to make any progress at the moment, I am afraid he can't help you!

"Your Majesty, don't be good. Liu Chun is just bluffing and bragging himself!" Bao Zhao swears: "From the old minister, this notice may not be written by Liu Chun. Maybe it was Yan Ni's detailed work. He deliberately used a trick to disrupt the morale of the people. And even if Liu Chun is still alive, how capable is he?"

Bao Zhao patted his chest, "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, and is willing to ask for an order to supervise the army. If Liu Chun really appears, the old minister will capture this traitor alive for Your Majesty!"

As soon as Bao Zhao finished speaking, someone hurried in and whispered to the eunuch. A big eunuch ran to Zhu Yunwen's ears wildly.

"Your Majesty, Baoshan sent a message that a fleet is moving against the current!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran in, "Hey Majesty, a fleet appeared on the Yangtze River, holding high, holding high..."

"What are you holding up?" Zhu Yunwen asked with red eyes.

"Hold high the banner of Jingnan! Please take the boat to the river - a small gathering of masters and apprentices!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his little face quickly turned into a pig's liver color, his lips kept shaking, and anger flames spewed out in his eyes!

"Liu Chun! I will kill you, a traitor!"
