Chapter 1671

It's like Cai Zhong. Obviously, WeiLuo sent 50000 liang of silver. He just gave Mou Mu 20000 Liang. He even embezzled more than half of it, which has made Zhuqi town a little unhappy. With these thirty thousand taels of silver, the imperial court can do some things again, can't it?

Mu Mu and others are Zhu Qizhen's words. In this way, his position will be stable. Then he knelt down and kowtowed and shouted to Shengming.

......

Red inlaid city.

Yang Chendong has returned here. He stayed at sea for three days and learned that Yang was very stable. Although he did not appear and his safety was unknown, under the leadership of his eldest son Yang Bo, everyone performed their respective duties. The only difference is that there are many more ships on the sea. They are search teams to find Yang Chendong.

Yang's situation is stable. This result makes Yang Chendong very satisfied. He decided to go back to chixian city. Even though his son passed the test and Yang officials passed the test, he didn't have to hide his head and tail. After all, there are still many important things to do.

Yang Chendong reappeared on the wharf of chiembedded city. The news naturally attracted the excitement and cheers of Yang officials. Yang Chendong created the Yang Department. He is the backbone of everyone, which is far from comparable to Yang Bo.

But after this incident, Yang Chendong also saw that Yang Bo is a material that can be made. He has decided to slowly transfer his power and exercise each other more and better. Not only does he want to do this, but also his future children and grandchildren should do so, that is, transfer power when they are alive.

In short, the change of dynasties in history is the easiest time to lead to problems.

When the old emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, one bad thing was a bloody storm and pieces of heads fell to the ground. It often takes a long time to recover from a heavy blow to one's own strength. At this time, the new emperor is also old. It won't take long to face the replacement of the new and the old. In this way, the head falls to the ground.

How to prevent this from happening?

Yang Chendong's idea is to transfer power while the old emperor is still alive and be a supreme emperor. It is natural to say that this has disadvantages. For example, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers? If the two emperors don't like each other, won't there be an internal struggle?

To this end, Yang Chendong thought of a solution. For example, the old emperor can retain part of his military power before his death. In case of major events, he can jump over the command of the new emperor, and so on. That's enough to protect yourself.

Of course, this is still an immature idea. Importantly, Yang Chendong believes that doing so can avoid the problems of the alternation of the two emperors as much as possible. Otherwise, it's like the imperial edict of Emperor Kangxi in history. One said it was the 14th elder brother and the other said it was located in the 4th elder brother. Up to now, there are still different opinions about this lawsuit.

Yang Chendong returned to Chiqian City, and the observation group of the northern Ming Dynasty also set out. He boarded the ship from Tianjin Wei and came straight to Chiqian city.

At this point, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu both hold the same idea, that is, they know themselves and the enemy. They may all know that this war with the Yang family is inevitable, so it is naturally a good thing to know something in advance. Both emperors gave strong support to the mission.

Different from the last time to welcome the Nanming observation group, this time Yang Chendong came in person and came to the wharf with Princess Zheng, the queen Hu Yan.

Not for anything else, just because there are Hu Yan's relatives in the Beiming observation group. This time, her flash in the observation group is her grandfather Hu.

People in this era usually don't live long. Many people die in their forties, and some even die in their thirties. But most of them are ordinary people who can't eat well and wear clothes. Those officials are not included. Not only that, there are indeed some people who live long.

Like Hu Yan's grandfather, Hu Zhen is one of them. In history, he lived to be 85 years old. Because of the arrival of Yang Chendong, he even broke through this age limit. Now he is 92 years old. It is said that he is still in good health. At least he can walk with the help of others without falling into bed.

Hu Zhen is the longest lived official among the officials. In addition to his youth in politics, he has been regarded as an old minister of the four dynasties. This time, when he learned that he had the opportunity to enter the red inlaid City, he took the initiative to apply to the emperor. When Zhu Qiyu had fallen into bed and his body was declining, crown prince Zhu Jianji agreed to his application, considering that Hu Zhen was old and could not be an official even if he stayed in Beiming. However, it is clear that Hu Zhen can only go to the Hu family, and others can join the observation mission.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Jianji still has a lot of crime prevention for Yang Chendong, and leaving the Hu family is also a means of checks and balances.

Speaking of this, Zhu Jianji died prematurely at the age of seven in history. Also because of Yang Chendong's relationship, he took out western medicine and saved the other party's life. Now he is a 20-year-old boy.

Grandpa came, and Hu Yan, as a granddaughter, of course came out to meet him. Considering the particularity of Hu Zhen's identity and his age, Yang Chendong followed her, and Hu Yan was moved.

Yang Chendong and the queen all came out to meet, making the people on the wharf save their heads and the formation more prosperous. When I saw a ship coming from a distance, someone had already made a report on the wharf. Hu Yan also tightly grasped Yang Chendong's arm at this moment, looking very excited.

Eighteen years have passed, and she can finally see her relatives again. Hu Yan's excitement can be imagined.

Yang Chendong naturally won't have any excitement. Zhu Jianji not only didn't let Hu Yan's parents come with the observation group, but also none of his brothers and sisters was allowed to join the observation group. In other words, the Yang family is still in the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty. Although Yang Chendong had made arrangements for them so that they would not have any danger to their lives or difficulties in life, after all, there was still some regret that they could not see anyone.

For the northern Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong's Bureau is bigger. Both the court and the army have their own chess pieces, and their status is not low. As long as the time is right, you can launch a counterattack at any time.

But Yang Chendong didn't do it. He was waiting for the day when Zhu Qiyu died. At that time, it will take some time for the young emperor Zhu Jianji to master the government. Then it will be the time for the Yang army to attack.

Zhu Qiyu was ordered to turn the tide and fall with the help of Yang Chendong. Over the years, he has worked hard for the country and is very prestigious. He can at least unite with him as the core in Beiming. Once he is gone, with his son who has no number, he is afraid that the unity of the country will only be superficial.

We need to wait for the opportunity for the northern Ming Dynasty and not so polite for the Southern Ming Dynasty. With the imperial edict of Zhuqi town in Cao Jixiang's hands, Yang Chendong has enough reasons to move against the Southern Ming Dynasty. I didn't do it now, just because all kinds of baggage haven't been in place yet. Now it seems that this is the time.

The thought of fighting Nanming made Yang Chendong think of Mou mu. This chess piece he arranged many years ago has finally worked, and its power is far greater than he imagined.

There was civil strife in the Southern Ming Dynasty before the war. People were not united. People were in danger. Once the Yang army arrived, we can imagine the results. This also makes Yang Chendong very satisfied with Mou mu.

At this time, the Nanming Kyoto should be Tianfu, and Mou Mu is still busy.

Neither Qian sengbao nor Cai Zhong knew that Mu Mu had secretly seen the emperor and handed over the ransom money he had received. They are still taking this opportunity to make a big profit. Qian sengbao, in particular, didn't give Mou Mu a silver or two, relying on his identity of carrying Mou mu. He just handed in the list of officials to be protected. These are all our people. You must raise your hand.

Qian sengbao was so strong that Mu Mu chose to continue to be patient and reported these things to Zhuqi town in detail. In his own words, he can have today, all rely on the emperor's long en. He only listens to the emperor. As for others, no matter how kind they are to him, he most wants to help within his authority, but when it comes to the imperial power, he will not hesitate to choose to listen to the emperor.

Mou Mu's confession was heard in Zhuqi town's ears. Long Yan was happy and boasted that Mou Mu was the biggest loyal minister in the imperial court, and he spoke to reassure him.

Zhu Qizhen paid more and more attention to Mu Mu, and began to have an opinion on his big companion Qian sengbao.

This man is afraid of comparison when he does anything. This comparison, who is strong and who is weak, can naturally be seen clearly. Qian sengbao, who used to do everything well and pleasing to the eye, now makes Zhuqi town feel dissatisfied with everything he does. He even thought about whether to let Mu take his place.

Compared with Qian sengbao's bossy, Cai Zhong should be more or less restrained. At least he will give some benefits to Mou mu. But no matter what he did, he had entered the list of death in Mou Mu's heart.

This is not only because Cai Zhong sent his nephew Cai Ge to follow him, but more importantly, he even reached out to the town governor prison of the royal guards and paid the guards of the royal guards to meet Cao Jixiang's nephew, Cao Qin, the son of Cao Zheng, the former commander of the Royal Guards, in order to let him use it for himself.

In addition to Cao Jixiang being a talented person, the Cao family has to count the Cao Qin. It was Cao Qin who led people to ambush Yang Chendong in Beiming Dynasty, but it didn't succeed. Cai Zhong looks for this man as a helper. It can be seen that he has a good eye, but he angers Mou mu.

Not to mention that the Cao family is now Mou Mu's mortal enemy. Once people are redeemed, it will directly threaten their own safety. Just saying that Cao Qin ambushed Yang Chendong is impossible to let him live.
