Chapter 1753: Buried Nails

Went out to spread some words, which put Yuan Xi in a good mood. Just remembering that he forgot to pay the bill for eating pot stickers, Yuan Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, there is news that the court has just arrived."

Yuan Xi hiccupped, frowned and said, "Yuan Chi, I told you to focus on what you're talking about."

The man laughed and said: "My lord, Your Majesty has followed the advice and retracted the original words. Later, he said that the land occupied by the vassal king will be investigated, and it will probably be returned."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to express his opinion, but seeing Yuan Xi lost in thought, he quickly silenced himself.

He was an orphan taken in by Yuan Xi back then, and he was raised since he was a child, so he has a deep affection. Going outside to receive news and deliver news is what he is doing.

Yuan Xi was deep in thought, his brows furrowed and relaxed. After a long time, he looked up and saw that Yuan Chi hadn't left yet, so he said, "You quietly went to find Lei Du."

Yuan Chi said in surprise, "Master, didn't Master Lei say that it is not easy to meet each other in the near future?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, then waved his hand.

...

After more than an hour, Lei Du, who was putting on makeup, came.

"What's so important that you put me at risk?"

Lei Du was very dissatisfied. He touched his face, which had been dyed gray and black with pot ash, and felt that Yuan Xi's practice of always treating himself as a subordinate was unacceptable.

Yuan Xi looked up at him, and said seriously: "Your Majesty has changed his course, just clearing up the land occupation, Lei Du, do you know what this means?"

Lei Du said casually: "I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the wind and rain outside."

"That's the emperor."

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "This move can not only suppress the vassal king step by step, but also win the hearts of the people, especially the people of the fief. Think about it, why?"

Lei Du is not a fool, but the information is incomplete, so his judgment was wrong for a while. He frowned and said, "Is this planning for a rainy day?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Lei Du chuckled, his eyes full of ferocity: "Since he doesn't give him a way out and wants to force His Highness into a corner step by step, then what are we waiting for? Do it when you find the opportunity."

"That's right!"

Yuan Xi sighed a little and said: "Jubao Mountain Guard is not here, which is good news. If they are in the capital, that lunatic will definitely dare to forcibly break into the palace, and then things will be difficult."

Lei Du's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "You have to do it if it is difficult! You are all frightened by him, how dare you? Feed the dog? He is now in Xinghe, without His Majesty's order, how can he enter the side wall?"

"That's right!" Yuan Xi sighed, "But that person always acts recklessly, otherwise how could the whole family go to Xinghe this time? This is a taboo!"

"Don't worry about these things. Now the man in the palace has no problems with his body. Yuan Xi, what should we do? Do we have to wait?"

"No, I know an imperial physician."

Yuan Xi suddenly smiled strangely, Lei Du pointed at the palace, blinked and said: "Could it be..."

"I can't be angry! Do you still remember what happened to Li Shimian? At that time, I almost couldn't make it through."

"hiss……"

Lei Du leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Then..."

Yuan Xi smiled with a calm demeanor: "There will be, Your Highness should cooperate a little bit, if those feudal lords don't want to be meat on the chopping board, they should also contribute their efforts..."

Lei Du was so refreshed that he completely forgot the dissatisfaction he had when he first came in, and asked, "What should we do now?"

"wait!"

Yuan Xi said indifferently: "You have a lot of connections in the capital, you should visit your friends more, otherwise it will take a long time... We will also be indifferent to each other, this is not good."

"how about you?"

"I?"

Yuan Xi's eyebrows were full of confidence, "I want to pay attention to the overall situation, and talk to those green skins by the way."

"What's there to talk about with Qingpi? They are all guys who have done more than succeed but failed."

"It will always work."

Yuan Xi got up and said: "That person has the name of Yi Bo Yuntian in Beiping, let me go and see, if he can do it, then he will be more confident in the future."

Lei Du nodded and reminded: "Be careful not to leak the news."

Yuan Xi's complexion suddenly turned cold,

He said lightly: "I never need anyone to remind me of this, you just need to contact those old friends."

"Whatever you want, if the news is leaked from you, Yuan Xi, before the army arrives in Taiyuan, your family will be torn to pieces by His Highness!"

 …

"How much food is there in Xinghebao? If we defeat the Ming people, will all these be ours?"

In a tent, three people talk.

"But who can defeat them?" The old man sitting facing the direction of the tent curtain asked disdainfully.

"If we can cooperate internally and externally, it is not impossible to defeat them like that. No, it is very sure."

"Yes, their musket array is most afraid of chaos, as long as there is chaos, they are lambs to be slaughtered."

The wrinkles on the old man's face suddenly stretched out, and he said coldly: "You are the scourge, come!"

Two people came in from outside the tent, and the man sitting diagonally opposite the old man suddenly fell on the ground, raised his head and said, "It's not terrible for us to die, but the terrible thing is that the Tatars have no chance to stand up... If you want to surrender to the Ming people, then Please kill us."

Another man also lay on the ground and said, "We took the risk to come here just for the future of the tribe..."

The wrinkles on the old man's face became deeper and deeper, he sighed and waved his hands.

"How is this arranged..."

...

Since Pu Gu broke his arm, the coalition's death squad plan has stopped.

And in its place was peace, a rare peace.

But Fang Xing refused to ask for peace, he kept sending rangers to harass his opponents, batch after batch.

"Don't forget, we are protected by Xinghe Fort. We only need simple scouts and secret sentries to ensure safety, but what about them? The camps are scattered on the grassland, and there is no defense. We have to tell them often This weakness makes them have to close their eyes when they sleep at night."

The last assassination told the coalition army that if Daming wanted to sneak attack them, they would have to struggle every day.

Now that the initiative is in the hands of the Ming army, Fang Xing is already arranging scouts to investigate the source of the other party's supplies.

Once a long-term confrontation is required, Fang Xing will definitely use the ancient and tried-and-tested trick of Jieliangdao.

In the firewood room, Wang He patted his recently thinned belly and said, "Xing He Bo, aren't we here to support the elderly?"

Lin Qun'an glared at him, he didn't want to retire outside the Great Wall.

Zhang Yu wanted to build a good relationship with Fang Xing, so he smiled and said, "Actually, there are quite a lot of things beyond the Great Wall. Even in winter, as long as there is no threat, it is a pleasure to sleep late in the house."

"You seem to be aging quickly in recent years!"

Fang Xing pointed to the wrinkles on his face and said: "Beyond the Great Wall, you are suffering from the wind and frost, you are the first one, and you will naturally get what you deserve in the future."

Zhang Yu touched his face and said with a smile: "Compared with those comrades who died in battle, the lower officials are lucky enough, so I dare not complain."

Fang Xing nodded. At this time, someone was looking outside. Fang Xing saw that it was a knife, so he got up and sent everyone away.

"Sir, the messenger is here."

The messenger was still Blackthorn, but his expression was wrong.

"Uncle, it's difficult to get out now."

"Someone is checking? But you guys have research and cooperation!"

"Some people in the DPRK said that they would strictly investigate smuggling outside the Great Wall, and then strict investigations began everywhere."

Fang Xing asked in surprise, "Now outside the Great Wall belongs to Daming, who is it being smuggled to?"

However, this issue is obviously not in the scope of the messenger. He said: "Your Majesty suddenly changed, and ordered the Ministry of Households to investigate the land occupation of feudal princes in various places. Those outside who were waiting to see the joke were dumbfounded."

This is a means of advancing by retreating. Zhu Gaochi's application can be said to be skillful, but it is a bit risky.

Those vassal kings are not fuel-efficient lamps. Being hung up like this by Zhu Gaochi, the resentment inside can probably flood the palace.

Some of these people are ambitious, some are lying dormant and pretending to be stupid, some just want to enjoy wealth and honor...

And Zhu Gaochi's series of actions all show his determination to shake the traditional interests of the feudal king.

"Your Majesty, this is for the officials and the people to see. He has won the hearts of the people, but where is the heart of the officials? Will they follow His Majesty to restrict the vassal king?"

"Your Majesty is taking risks, what is his confidence?"

Seeing Fang Xing struggling to think hard, Huang Zhong persuaded: "Uncle, the guards in the capital are enough to rule the world. Your Majesty is not trying to kill them all. He just wants to limit the vassal kings and save future generations from trouble. Those who dare to rebel It can be counted, no, it is estimated that there will be no, I dare not have it!"

"You underestimate people's hearts!"

"Your Majesty should take it slowly, step by step, so that those feudal lords will no longer have the power to fight back when they wake up. First of all, they should find a way to cut down the guards. Then calmly reform."

"Your Majesty is in a hurry. I'm worried that those vassal kings will form a group secretly, and the trouble will be serious."

Fang Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "If there is chaos, as long as the capital is not in chaos, then it's time to clean it up."

There was murderous intent in these words, Huang Zhong could only say helplessly: "Uncle, Your Majesty still has some for a few years at least."

Hope!

Fang Xing said silently in his heart.
