Chapter 296: Sword, Light, Sword and Shadow

When Hao Fenglou returned to the temple, his face looked very solemn. He clearly felt that he had been fooled.

The so-called Left Prime Minister Guoping Zhang faction looks tempting, but in fact it is more like Chen Tianping's method of playing power.

The effect Chen Tianping needed to achieve soon after the next day.

The Imperial College in Annan has a status equivalent to the Imperial College in the Ming Dynasty, and the Confucian scholars have already started to make trouble.

In this world, the stupidest people are always students, and the best ones to use are often young and not a scholar, but often have passionate and full of political ambitions. They are the most easily stimulated group, but this time, it was not the order Li Rui of the disciples, nor were they the officials of Annan or some local tyrants. This time, it was just because of the decree of King Annan.

The edict of King Annan deeply stimulated these young sects to let a Han man do Pingzhang, become a general, and enfeoffed the land of Qinghua City, which was enough to make all Annan people angry.

In their opinion, although the Ming Dynasty helped them to quell the rebellion, even if they had opposed the Hu family, this did not mean that the Han people could participate in their national affairs and share their most fundamental interests.

There was no need for incitement, and the Confucian scholars who spontaneously organized began to scold and demanded a letter.

All of this is obviously not a big deal for Chen Tianping in the palace.

When the words were delivered one by one, he just suppressed them and didn't care.

Such a move obviously added fuel to the fire and completely angered these young people.

The young and strong people began to criticize the national affairs in a big way, and finally pointed the finger at the Ming army.

An anti-intellectual emotion has begun to brew, and all kinds of sensational remarks are emerging one after another. The officials of Annan are obviously accusing of this matter. This is a game in itself, and they naturally dare not use their own lives to be the first to be the first. However, since the Confucian scholars are going to make trouble and are exactly what they want, most people are afraid that they will use this as a bargaining chip to force Annan to make concessions.

Li Rui's side has also reached the forefront. As the Secretary of the Central Committee, he is the leader of all officials, and others can not stand out. But he has to stand out. His power comes from all officials and Confucian scholars. Now the Confucian scholars are making trouble. If he is indifferent, he will lose people's hearts. So Li Rui immediately submitted a memorial with earnest words and handed it into the palace.

This memorial was naturally not handled by Chen Tianping. It is obvious that Chen Tianping is not afraid of big troubles.

But Li Rui was afraid. He had already smelled a trace of bad signs. The angry Confucian scholars and a group of young and strong officials were completely angry.

Things were obviously uncontrollable. With the rising emotions of anti-Ming, even some mature and persevering people began to blatantly criticize the Ming Dynasty and Hao Fenglou.

In their opinion, the culprit was Hao Fenglou and the Ming army. If it weren't for this, how could King Annan give up power? What Ming army wanted to do was obviously to use the emperor to command the world and play with King Annan in applause.

A great sense of crisis came to everyone's hearts. These Annan nobles and Confucian scholars were originally the rulers of Annan. They would never allow the Han people to share their interests.

So, after a few days of brewing, hostile acts of the Ming army occurred frequently in the foggy Shenglong City.

Several Ming army officers and soldiers who were patrolling disappeared, and the Ming army began to search door to door.

However, during the search process, many disputes broke out, and the two sides were almost at a strife.

Even the single pillar temple where Hao Fenglou is located is not safe. After a night, he can always reveal a list of documents against the Ming army from the temple wall. The words in it are nothing more than letting the Ming army get out of Annan, otherwise what will happen.

The group of military officers led by Mu Sheng could no longer hold back.

But at this time, King Annan issued an edict to invite Hao Fenglou and Mu Sheng to enter the palace to negotiate.

At noon, Hao Fenglou and Mu Sheng arrived at the palace in Annan.

Chen Tianping met them in a palace. The newly ascended King Annan seemed indignant. He glanced at Mu Sheng and Hao Fenglou angrily, and then said: "What happened recently is really worrying. I think that there must be remnants of the Hu family in this Shenglong. They instigated right and wrong to alienate the relationship between Annan and the Ming Dynasty. Let's read, this is their memorial. Look, it's so unreasonable. These people are simply punishable. Fortunately, I am the king's help from the heavenly kingdom, but these people resisted the Ming army and incited their dissatisfaction with the Ming army in private."

Chen Tianping seemed uneasy and worried to slap the case, and finally sneered: "It's not possible, it can't be done. If the situation continues like this, it will be irreversible once these thugs succeed. I am determined to fight back hard and let them know that the end of inciting civil unrest is just this matter. This matter is very important and we must notify the two masters."

Mu Sheng frowned: "It's a bit too hasty to do this."

Chen Tianping said seriously: "We must cut the mess quickly. The kindness of a woman will only be too big. But please rest assured that the Ming army will not come forward. General Ruan Yu of Jinwu will control the imperial guards. I trust him very much. I leave this matter to him. With his mature and steadfast nature, it is not possible to cause trouble. The two envoys, my king's edict has been prepared, but it is just such a big thing, but I have to discuss it with the envoys, so..."

Mu Sheng suddenly showed disgust. In fact, Chen Tianping's thoughts were obvious. He first provoked conflicts and allowed Annan's people to be in the same situation as the Ming army, but now he had to take the opportunity to eradicate his political enemies.

Mu Sheng glanced at Hao Fenglou, and Hao Fenglou didn't say a word from beginning to end. Seeing Mu Sheng looking over, Hao Fenglou's face was as calm as water, and nothing special.

Chen Tianping continued: "This is what we do, we can't indulge in this matter anymore. The matter is urgent. The two masters must restrain their subordinates. Tonight, they will withdraw their posts to avoid unnecessary conflicts."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Hao Fenglou and Mu Sheng left the palace.

Mu Sheng looked cold, looked at Hao Fenglou and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "It's just to use us, but... let him go. Chen Tianping is indeed not simple. Now, I feel a little unaware of him. It's ridiculous to see how impatient he looks."

"Then why don't you say anything to stop me?" Mu Sheng was a little angry. In a sense, he was the deputy general and was responsible for restraining the Ming army. Therefore, it was really hard to interfere in this regard, but Hao Fenglou was different. Hao Fenglou was the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei and was also responsible for escorting Chen Tianping, so he definitely had the right to interfere with Chen Tianping.

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "Why should we stop it? What Chen Tianping has to do now is to provoke the relationship between the Annan natives and us, borrow us to suppress the unsatisfied Annan natives, and at the same time use the Annan people's anti-Ming emotions to restrain you and me. What he fought is naturally a good plan, and he must drive the tiger and swallow the wolf, and he himself reaped the profits."

"But, since that's the case, it's okay. Why do we get angry? Just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. General Mu doesn't have to worry. In fact, Chen Tianping always felt that the initiative is in his hands, but he forgot that the real initiative is always in your and me. As long as the Ming army is here for a day, no matter how he conspires and tricks it, it's just a joke. He wants to kill people, as long as it doesn't kill us, let him kill them."

Mu Sheng obviously did not agree with Hao Fenglou's words, but at this time he was helpless and said, "It seems that this person is ambitious and may not be a person who is willing to surrender to the hearts of the people. We have built a country for him, but who knows whether he will become his enemy in the future."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

That night.

A large number of Annan imperial guards began to appear in the long street.

In Shenglong City, the rapid sound of boots, dogs barking, and door-slapping sound suddenly rang out.

The mansions were knocked open one by one. Before the door carrying the lantern could speak, he was immediately kicked down by several guards. The military officer waved his hand: "Catch Li Hong, the anti-Ming rebel party, don't let him escape."

So the tide of imperial guards rushed in immediately.

The Imperial Courtyard was already surrounded by people. However, the imperial guards did not enter without permission, but just surrounded the place.

Li's Mansion.

Dongdongdongdongdong...

The confidant who had already felt something was wrong had already rolled and crawled, and broke into the study where Li Rui was.

In the study, Li Rui was playing chess with several friends. As soon as he saw someone breaking in, Li Rui stood up and then threw the chess piece down.

He had a not-so-great premonition, in fact, he could feel this premonition from the day he ascended the throne.

The old-fashioned Li Rui looked pale as paper and sighed: "Is someone here to catch me? It's better if I come, I'll always come sooner or later..."

"Sir..." The confidant's eyes were filled with tears: "You run away quickly, just escape to Qinghua and climb up the high ground and shout..."

Several friends were stunned, and they couldn't help but worry about the current situation and were even more worried about being implicated. Of course, some people were filled with righteous indignation and talked freely: "Yes, when you go to Xidu, people's hearts are on Mr. Li, and Chen Tianping is also..."
