So after hearing Kuang Ye's words, Yang Chendong's counterattack soon came, "Hey, it's just the title of a duke, and it's not like being named a prince like King Xiping, so don't worry about it so much."
"Hiss!" A breath of cold air came from the bottom of my heart and went straight to my forehead.Kuang Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Chendong with some incredulous eyes. There was hesitation and suspicion in those eyes, but more fear and fear.
This young man actually took a fancy to the position of the prince, and envied Xiping Wang Mubin, but didn't he know that since the establishment of Ming Dynasty, Mu Bin is only the only living king with a different surname.
There has only been one in so many years, and Yang Chendong wants to be part of it, just because of his courage and desire, it is very accessible to ordinary people, so it is no wonder that the emperor is always on guard against him.For such an ambitious person, I am afraid that even if he is in that position, he should be on guard, and even do something recklessly.
Kuang Ye froze there in astonishment, and in Yang Chendong's eyes, forced a smile on his pale face, "Kuang Shangshu, it's just a joke, you won't believe it."
"Hehe, no way, no way, the old man just laments Yu Zhongdan's courage." Kuang Ye also smiled perfunctorily.But I was thinking in my heart, only ghosts believe that you are joking, how can some things be taken out as a joke.
In just a few words, Yang Chendong put forward his own expectations, and let Kuang Ye know that after using him last time, he threw them aside and even sent someone to poison him, fearing that he had already hurt people's hearts.Now if you want to use others to send troops, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't bleed a lot.And the position of a prince is one of the requirements.
Even if he thought about it, when he invited Yang Chendong again, he would open his mouth like a lion, but he never thought that there would be such an outrageous request.At this moment, Kuang Ye retreated a bit.
Today's trip is to see Yang Chendong's personal physical condition as the first, and if possible, to test whether the other party can continue to bring mercenaries to serve Nanming is the second.I thought it would be difficult to achieve the second point. After all, it seems a bit ridiculous to talk about sending troops in front of a patient.However, Yang Chendong's proactive words still met these two requirements, but the result was not so satisfactory.
He also seemed to know that Kuang Ye's probing move had achieved his goal, or maybe Yang Chendong's health was really bad, and he had reached the limit of his current body after being able to see customers for so long. Not coming down anymore, Hu Yan and others who were waiting outside the tent rushed in quickly.
Chapter 426 The Emperor of the Back Garden
As soon as these people came in, Kuang Ye knew that he had to leave. Originally, he wanted to see if there was any other way to solve the problem.But looking at Yang Chendong's attitude and his current physical condition, he knew that it was meaningless to say anything else.
Kuang Ye left, just like when he came, Humang escorted him out of the barracks.Yang Chendong in the military tent here also stopped coughing, then shook his head and said: "It's hard work to pretend to be sick, I hope I can trick this old guy."
Hu Yan and Lady Xue both laughed at these words.This is their husband. When he is serious, he is a little scary, and sometimes he is very cute.
What Yang Chendong did was not only to deceive Kuang Ye, but also to take the opportunity to make his own request.In fact, Kuang Ye was indeed deceived.
Yang Chendong's makeup skills are too good, it can also be said that the things in Dacang are too good, so good that they are not available in this era.This can fool everyone.
"Teacher, how is Duke Zhongdan's condition?" Guan Ying asked softly on the way back to the city.When he saw Kuang Ye's ugly face after leaving the camp, he felt a little uneasy.After all, a while ago, he was not respectful to Yang Chendong, and even thought of plotting against him for a while.What he did would probably ruin the teacher's plan, and he was a little worried about it.
"It's really very sick." Kuang Ye replied in a deep voice, and Yang Chendong's seemingly terminal illness flashed in his mind.
"Then I don't know if he can still lead the army to fight?" Guan Ying continued to speak in a low voice, this is the focus of his concern.He has already received the news that while the King Min family is stabilizing the current results of the war, they have already begun to dispatch troops and are preparing to expand the results of the battle. As one of the occupied areas, Guangdong is clearly intolerable. of.In other words, even if they don't take the initiative to attack, it won't be long before King Min will draw his hand to deal with him.
"Leading the army to fight?" Kuang Ye shook his head, "Who knows? But if you want him to fight, you must first agree to one of his conditions, that is, to be crowned king like Xiping Wang Mubin." For others, Kuang Ye also whispered this.
"What, King Feng!" Guan Ying almost couldn't hold back his voice, and shouted this sentence.But then he quickly shut his mouth tightly, but it can be seen from his face that he might be frightened for a while.
Who is Mu Bin?That is after the Mu family, loyal and good for generations.It was also because of the opportunity to pacify Yunnan this time that he was forced to seal the king.But now it seems that the effect does not seem to be very big, because the failure of Dong Xing, a stupid teammate of Dudu Tongzhi, made him unable to exert his full strength.
But in any case, Mu Bin, who was crowned king, was also nailed to the back of King Min like a nail, preventing them from attacking Nanjing with all their strength. From this point of view, the crowning of king this time was also somewhat effective.
Who is Yang Chendong?Although he is also the descendant of the Yang family, he can be regarded as a loyal family, but he just saved the leader of the mercenary army by chance.There is no real power in his hands, so why should he be crowned king?
Of course, it is a bit too much to say why.After all, Yang Chendong saved Yingzong's life, and defeated the Oirats' aggression on his behalf, and now he has made great achievements in quelling the Guangdong Rebellion.But it is precisely because of this that he cannot be crowned king at will, all because he is too powerful.He is so powerful that it is scary, unlike Mu Bin, the influence of power is only in Yunnan, and he is nothing outside of there.
It is precisely because of Yang Chendong's power that once he is named king of a different surname, what kind of consequences will be caused is unpredictable.
Guan Ying thought of this, so he didn't dare to say anything more.And these were also seen in Kuang Ye's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There are some people in Daming with different surnames, such as Xu Da, king of Zhongshan, Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping, Li Wenzhong, king of Qiyang, Ning Deng Yu, King of He, Tang He, King of Dongou, Muying, King of Qianning, and now Mubin, King of Xiping.
But except for the last one, everyone else was crowned king after death.Yang Chendong is a living person.
When he thought of the living person, he couldn't help but think of Yang Chendong's frail body. Kuang Ye thought, maybe this person will not live long.
Kuang Ye first became hesitant in his heart, and when he believed that Yang Chendong was already seriously ill, the idea of becoming a king came into being.Of course, he also knew that such a major event was not something he could say, and he still needed to ask the emperor for instructions.In this way, after the urgent dispatch of the eight hundred miles yesterday, another urgent secret letter was sent out after he returned to the study of the Gaozhou government office.
Heian-kyo, the capital of Japan.
The Imperial City of Japan is also called the Ouchi Kyoto Imperial Palace. In this city, it represents the highest power in Japan and is also the political, cultural and economic center of the country.
As the 102nd emperor of the Japanese imperial family, Hikohito is known as the Emperor of the Back Garden.
For such a title, it seems to be everywhere in Japan.People here are also very accustomed to naming people with place names, such as Shanshita, Jiangkou, Gaoqiao and so on.
The Emperor of Japan was originally the most noble existence in this country. In fact, this is true for the outside world. Many orders were issued by the Emperor of the Back Garden and promulgated to the people of the country.But in fact, Yanren is more like a puppet.At least in some matters, he has to look at other people's faces and listen to their opinions before making a final decision.
As a descendant of the imperial family, Hikohito certainly did not want to dishonor the name of the emperor.In private, he has been working hard to change this situation, which is why he sent his favorite daughter, Princess Junzi, to Daming.
At that time, Ming Dynasty was still very powerful externally, at least it was far from being comparable to Japan.They still need to look up at this big eastern country with an attitude of looking up.
Princess Junko was sent out, and some information was continuously fed back through various channels.But more are some of Her Royal Highness's experiences in the Northern Beijing Division of the Ming Dynasty, and the most mentioned one is a young man named Yang Chendong.
The letter stated that Yang Chendong was only in his early twenties, but he had already been made a Duke, and he had considerable influence in the entire Ming Dynasty.
For the records in this letter, Yan Ren naturally had a feeling of dislike towards Yang Chendong.For nothing else, in his eyes, once such a person develops, he will often become a powerful minister, just like the great general Ashikaga Yoshimasa.
Regardless of whether Yanren likes Yang Chendong or not, when Kobayashi suddenly came to the palace and brought back an important news, the Emperor of the Back Garden was finally shaken, and he knew more about the name Yang Chendong.
A secret room deep in the palace, which is unknown to outsiders, and those who can come here are very important figures trusted by the emperor.
Kobayashi's appearance here was entirely due to the news he brought back and the handwritten letter written by Princess Junko that he took out from his body.
Since Junko left Japan, she had agreed with her father on some secret words in the letter, that is to say, there was nothing wrong with some letters on the surface.But only the father and daughter can see the authenticity of the letter and whether it was written under duress.
Bu Xiao said that the letter brought by Kobayashi was naturally out of Junko's sincerity, and there was no falsification in the content, which Emperor Hikohito could tell at a glance.
It was precisely because this letter was true that Emperor Hikohito was even more shocked.After carefully reading the letter three times, he said with a serious face: "Mr. Xiao Lin, please tell the truth about what you saw and heard."
"Hayi." Xiaolin nodded in agreement, and then told the princess in detail everything he saw after seeing Yang Chendong for the first time, facing the pursuit, and having to live in Yangjiazhuang.
It took more than an hour before Xiao Lin finished talking about the matter.Then he looked at Hikohito, who should be respected by the Japanese in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, this loyal and courageous man is the most powerful and capable young man I have ever seen. It seems that there is nothing he can't do. There seems to be nothing he can't solve."
"Wait, you're saying it's very powerful, how is it better than the general?" Yanren interrupted and asked this question.
"It should be better than him. After all, when he was young, the general was not as powerful as he is now." After hesitating for a while, Xiao Lin quickly gave an answer.
"Whoosh Siga." Yan Ren seemed to be very satisfied with such an answer, and kept nodding his head. "By the way, tell me about the cannon."
It is no wonder that there is such a question, and the price of a cannon is 1000 million taels of silver.Yan Ren believed that his daughter Junko would be very clear about what this amount of money represented, but she still wrote it in the letter and suggested buying one. No wonder Yan Ren paid so much attention to it.
"This..." In front of the emperor, Kobayashi naturally didn't dare to hide anything, "Your Majesty, I have never seen the appearance of the artillery when it was fired, but I have only seen the terrible consequences after it was fired."
"Dire consequences?"
"Yes, it really didn't grow a blade of grass, as if the sky was angry." He described the scene after he saw Heijing Street being bombarded with all his might.However, these words were heard in the ears of Emperor Hikohito, but it made his expression change again and again.
In his mind, it seems that a very shocking picture has been sketched out, and this picture was installed in the current General's Mansion not long after, it seems that Ashikaga Yoshimasa can be killed with one shot, He thereby regained control of the highest power in Japan.
"I'm just going to raise money now, and I'll leave the connection with the mercenaries to you. Don't let me down." Finally, Yan Ren made up his final decision, although 1000 million taels is already a big sum for him It was a burden, but in order to regain control of the country, he agreed without hesitation.
"Hayi." Xiao Lin also nodded excitedly.With such a big task falling on his shoulders, it is conceivable that once he succeeds, he will definitely be reused. At that time, he may also stand at the highest level in Japan.
