Chapter 405: The Song State's Plan, Wei Zhongxian, Nine Thousand Years Old in the Ming Dynasty

China suddenly became boiling.

A piece of propaganda in the Ming Dynasty shocked the world.

When the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty one after another, and its national power ranked the highest among all countries in China, all countries had already prepared for the rainy day, fearing that they would become the next attack target of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Dynasty has been developing peacefully in the past two years, there is no reason to start a foreign war.

But all countries are already taking precautions secretly.

The Song Dynasty, which is adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, has been in close contact with the Sui Dynasty next door in recent months, and there is a faint intention to join forces with the Sui Dynasty to form an alliance to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

And now, as expected, the Ming Dynasty's Xichang Gong...oh, no, it should be King Wu of the Ming Dynasty now.

After the Ming Dynasty King Wu returned from the sword world, he couldn't wait to reveal his wolfish ambitions.

Moreover, it is not just for a certain country, but for all countries in China.

If you don’t surrender within a month, you will be responsible for the consequences!
Such a domineering statement made countless forces angry and panicked.

Although Daming is domineering, at this moment, Daming does have the capital to be domineering!
In just four or five years, two dynasties have been overthrown, and they have occupied the territory of both dynasties, tens of millions of people, more than 200 million troops, and a rich national treasury. With the development in the past few years, their wealth has probably exceeded that of the famous rich people. of the Song Dynasty.

With sufficient military and financial support, Ming Dynasty was not afraid of war at all.

The most important thing is that the King of Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Huatian, is the one who scares all the countries the most.

The destruction of the Qing and Yuan Dynasties was all accomplished under the auspices of this man.

His mind and vision are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Moreover, its strength is also very terrifying, and there are endless masters under it.

If there is no one to check and balance him, he may be able to destroy a country by himself.

For a time, various countries held emergency meetings one after another to discuss how to respond to the crusade issued by the Ming Dynasty.

The first to react was naturally the Song Dynasty, which was closest to the Ming Dynasty.

The capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty rarely came out of the harem, summoned all civil and military officials, and asked them with a look of fear:
"My dear friends, the Ming Dynasty has issued a crusade, restricting the Song Dynasty to surrender within one month, otherwise the army will march out to the west in the near future, and the Song Dynasty will face the disaster of annihilation. Do you have any good ideas to relieve me of this worry? ?”

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials immediately started talking, and most of them had worries and fears on their faces.

Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the weakest one in the past and was easily bullied by others.

An army of more than 200 million, coupled with many masters of the Ming Dynasty, is enough to easily defeat any dynasty.

The fallen Qing and Yuan dynasties are the best examples.

Therefore, after hearing the news that the Ming Dynasty was about to go west to attack the Song Dynasty, everyone from the emperor Zhao Gou to the civil and military officials to the common people were very frightened.

Of course, there are also some people who remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain. Although their faces are solemn, they do not show panic.

Among them were Fan Zhongyan, the Privy Council envoy of the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu, the deputy envoy, and Zhu Xiawu, the catcher of the six gates, who was known as the "Zhu Dayian King" and others.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, this crusade is not just against the Song Dynasty, but all dynasties in the entire China."

Fan Zhongyan said with a solemn expression: "As long as we unite with other countries, no matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is, I, the Song Dynasty, will still be able to fight!"

Zhao Gou seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly looked at Fan Zhongyan: "Please also ask Mr. Fan to teach me."

Fan Zhongyan said in a deep voice: "The most urgent task is to unite with the Sui Dynasty in the west and ask the Sui Emperor to send troops to help our country strengthen its defense and resist the Ming Dynasty's troops. Try to delay as much time as possible, and then take this opportunity to unite other countries to form an 'Anti-Ming Alliance' ', fight against the Ming Dynasty together!"

At this time, Prime Minister Cai Jing said in a strange tone: "Fan Gong said it lightly, but now the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty continues, the Li family has occupied half of the country, and the Sui Emperor has no time to take care of himself. Previously, His Majesty sent people to the Sui Dynasty to ask the Sui Emperor for an alliance, and the Sui Emperor I have put forward conditions. If you want to send troops to the Sui Dynasty, we need to send troops first to help him quell the rebellion and suppress the Li clan's forces. But now, where do I have the extra troops to help the Sui Emperor redress?"

"Even if there are extra troops to help, the Ming Dynasty will not give us time to help the Sui Emperor redress and ally with the Sui Dynasty."

Fan Zhongyan frowned and said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is powerful. If it is not curbed, all the countries in China are in danger of being destroyed. There will be no eggs left behind. Once the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Sui Dynasty will be the first to bear the brunt. I believe that the Sui Emperor and his The Li clan can take the overall situation into consideration and can temporarily put aside the conquest and jointly solve the threat of the Ming Dynasty."

Cai Jing chuckled and said, "You should talk to Li Yuan about this. If Li Yuan is willing to give up the country at his fingertips and come to fight against the Ming Dynasty with us, this will naturally happen."

Ouyang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then I wonder what Prime Minister Cai has to say?"

"I dare not take it seriously, but there is a way."

Cai Jing looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is now so powerful and unstoppable that even if our dynasty temporarily allies with the Sui Dynasty, it will be difficult to resist. What's more, the Ming Dynasty will not give us time to form an alliance."

"If that's the case, then why do we think of a way to prevent Ming from sending troops?"

"Making it impossible for Ming Dynasty to send troops?"

"What does Mr. Cai mean?"

"I don't know! What Xiang Cai is thinking is beyond our ability to guess."

"That's necessary, otherwise how could he be the prime minister?"

"Oh, isn't it because he is able to become prime minister because he flatters His Majesty?"

"If you're capable, you'd be pretty good at being a prime minister. Why are you so upset?"

"I don't even bother to do this!"

"Ha ha……"

The ministers talked a lot.

Zhao Gou frowned and thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. He said anxiously: "What time is it? You are still trying to hide it. What is Prime Minister Cai's opinion? Come tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty accepts."

Cai Jing said with a smile: "The reason why the Ming Dynasty is strong is firstly because it has successively conquered the Qing and Yuan Dynasties in recent years, gained a lot of wealth, and strengthened its troops. Secondly, it is because the Ming Dynasty is internally stable and can focus on external affairs."

"Since we can't withstand the Ming Dynasty's troops, we will find a way to make the Ming Dynasty become chaotic. If they don't have time to take care of themselves, how can they still have the energy to attack us?"

Ouyang Xiu sneered and said: "Prime Minister Cai usually lies high in the court. I'm afraid he doesn't know much about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. I'd better remind Prime Minister Cai."

"A few years ago, the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty had been put down. The King Wu of the Ming Dynasty controlled the court like an iron barrel. Over the years, countless secret agents in various countries have died, and they were all caught by the Jin Yiwei under King Wu. from."

"Even in the Jianghu, everyone is overwhelmed by that King Wu. All the guests are convinced, and no one dares to resist."

"Under this situation, what else can Prime Minister Cai do to cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Emissary Ouyang is right. The Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty control intelligence far beyond that of any other dynasty. In recent years, even my attempts to deploy people to the Ming Dynasty have been repeatedly frustrated."

"With King Wu of the Ming Dynasty sitting in charge, it will not be easy for Prime Minister Cai to use tactics to cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty."

Cai Jing said calmly: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Envoy Ouyang can't do it, and it doesn't mean that I can't do it either."

Ouyang Xiu sneered and said nothing, as if I was just watching your performance quietly.

"Don't be pretentious and tell me quickly!" Zhao Gou said impatiently.

However, Cai Jing was still not in a hurry. He smiled mysteriously and said: "There is a person in the minister's house who once held an important position in the Ming Dynasty. If he wants to destabilize the Ming Dynasty, he must do it!"

"Oh? Where is this person?" Zhao Gou asked.

Fan Zhongyan and others also frowned, wondering what Cai Jing's relationship was. "This man is waiting outside the palace. Please ask your Majesty to summon him into the palace," Cai Jing said.

Zhao Gou waved his hand: "That's right!"

Cai Jing immediately winked at the two guards at the door.

Soon, a thin figure with an old face slowly walked in.

This person carries a majestic aura that no one dares to underestimate.

Everyone's eyes are focused on this person, wondering what his ability is that makes Cai Jing so highly regarded.

"I don't know your name, sir?" Zhao Gou asked proactively.

The old man walked slowly to the palace, leaned slightly towards Zhao Gou, and saluted: "Wei Zhongxian, a common man, pays homage to the Emperor of Song Dynasty."

Wei Zhongxian?
Zhao Gou frowned slightly, as if he had heard this name somewhere, but he never thought of it for a while.

The ministers also frowned in thought, feeling that this name was somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Fan Zhongyan's expression changed: "Wei Zhongxian?! Mr. Dongchang of Ming Dynasty, aren't you dead?!"

Immediately, the other officials also reacted and their expressions changed.

Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty!
During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty, he was the chief ceremonial officer, and later became the official of Dongchang Factory. He had great power in both the government and the public, and was favored by the emperor. He was called Nine Thousand Years Old.

At the peak of his power, he suppressed all officials and even controlled the military power of the Ming Dynasty.

From being a eunuch to becoming No. 1 under the imperial power, it can be described as a legend.

This person's name has been heard even from other countries.

But later Emperor Qi of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne. Because he was afraid of the eunuchs' monopoly power, he tried to depose Wei Zhongxian. It is said that he died in that change.

Unexpectedly, this person would appear alive in the Great Song Dynasty Hall now.

Zhao Gou also thought of this legendary eunuch and looked at the thin old man with surprise: "Are you really the [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty?"

Wei Zhongxian cupped his hands and said, "I am exactly that. I am only nine thousand years old. That is already in the past. I am now a countryman. Thanks to the great love of Prime Minister Cai, I came to the court to share your worries."

Everyone looked at Cai Jing with complicated expressions.

No wonder he was so confident, it turned out that he found this nine thousand year old Ming Dynasty man from nowhere.

If this person is really Wei Zhongxian, then the plan Cai Jing mentioned has a real possibility of success.

After all, Wei Zhongxian was the master of the Ming Dynasty, and almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty belonged to him.

Even if it disappears for many years, there must still be some secret hands in the court.

As long as he is alive, those secret hands are still under his control.

Everyone present is playing politics, so they naturally understand this truth.

The relationship between the court and the court has always been messy and messy.

With this advantage, Wei Zhongxian did have a great chance if he wanted to provoke civil strife in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Gou also looked forward to it and looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "As Prime Minister Cai said, can Wei Gong have a way to help me provoke civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty will be too busy to take care of itself and unable to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled lightly and said: "Although I have been away from the Ming Dynasty for many years, I still have some acquaintances in it who are still in important positions. With a little operation, it is not difficult to destabilize the Ming Dynasty."

really!

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhao Gou was also overjoyed and said: "This will help Duke Wei. When this is done, Duke Wei will be our hero in the Song Dynasty. I will agree to whatever Duke Wei wants. The Ming Dynasty cannot accommodate Duke Wei, but I will tolerate it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "But as Prime Minister Cai said, if you want the Ming Dynasty to give up sending troops, just provoking turmoil in the Ming Dynasty is not enough."

"Oh? What else does Duke Wei have to say?" Zhao Gou asked.

Wei Zhongxian said: "The Ming Dynasty is now controlled by King Wu Yuhuatian, and the Jin Yiwei controls the world. Even if the government is in turmoil, it will only be temporary. It will not be long before the Jin Yiwei suppresses it. At that time, the Ming Dynasty can still send troops as planned."

"So, if you want to prevent Ming from sending troops, you need to make Ming completely chaotic."

"Not only is the imperial court going to be in chaos, but the world is also going to be in chaos!"

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up: "How to cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, looked at Zhu Xiawu, the six-door catcher who had never spoken, and said with deep meaning: "I believe King Zhu Dayan can do this."

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiawu with confused expressions.

Zhu Xiawu has been in charge of the Six Gates for many years and has a low-key personality. Especially in recent years, there has been a new Shenhou Mansion in the capital, which competes with the Six Gates. The four famous arresters are world-famous and have repeatedly solved major cases. There is a faint tendency to suppress the Six Gates.

And this King Zhu Datian is as low-key as ever.

Everyone didn't know what else he could do to make the world of Ming Dynasty turbulent.

But facing Wei Zhongxian's profound gaze, Zhu Xiawu's pupils shrank and he instantly understood what Wei Zhongxian meant.

Wei Zhongxian, learn about his other identity!
Although I don't know where Wei Zhongxian learned about his other identity, he is now in a difficult situation.

His heart sank slightly, Zhu Xiawu was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "I, you should try your best."

"it is good!"

Zhao Gou laughed: "As long as it can cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty and prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending troops, Zhu Aiqing and Wei Gong should be credited with the first contribution!"

As he said that, he looked at Cai Jing again and said with a smile: "Of course, there is also Prime Minister Cai..."

"No...how dare a humble minister take credit for this?"

Cai Jing hurriedly returned the gift, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian seemingly casually, with an extremely reserved expression, as respectful as a dog.

Those who didn't know, thought he was saluting Zhao Gou.

But those who are familiar with his character naturally know that Cai Jing has a vicious character. In his heart, he actually does not have much respect for the emperor.

Then his demeanor at this time was caused by Wei Zhongxian.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan and others felt a chill in their hearts. Looking at the skinny old man in the hall, they all felt an uneasy premonition in their hearts.

Will this character who once stirred up troubles in the Ming Dynasty cause any changes in the Song Dynasty because of his arrival?
Everyone looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

In the center of the hall, Wei Zhongxian stood quietly with his head bowed, his body stooped, but no one noticed, but his eyes shone with a deep light.

"Ming dynasty……"

"Our family has long said that I will definitely come back one day."

"Now, our family is here to fulfill our promise!"
