Chapter 937: Crucial

After hearing Zhang Qianhu’s report, Chen Kaizhi was speechless.

Shocked?

I think... he is not shocked.

He knew very well how corrosive the army, which was an elite army after the world was peaceful, was finally vulnerable. After a single rush, it collapsed instantly.

This is almost a problem that countries have encountered at the same time.

But even so, Chen Kaizhi was still afraid.

The weakness of the Yue army also highlights the strength of the water thieves.

These thieves were scattered and had long left their lives behind their backs. They lived a life of putting their heads on their belts. What was even more terrifying was that these people were well-trained and this battle... completely exposed the weaknesses of the military and horses of various countries.

What's more, because of the years of war, they attach great importance to all sharp weapons, and they seem to be very proficient in artillery and muskets.

Such a group of people are indeed a big concern.

Chen Kaizhi looked at Zhang Qianhu deeply and said, "We must strengthen our prevention here in Jibei and send envoys to Yue Kingdom to visit us."

Chen Kaizhi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Will Yang Zhengqi still be in trouble?"

"Yes, but... it's strange." Zhang Qianhu said.

Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes exploring: "Strange?"

"Yes." Zhang Qianhu said: "Deng Jian said that he found some doubts from the letters Yang Zhengqi came and went."

"Hmm?" Chen Kaizhi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhang Qianhu said: "From the letter, Lord Deng found that there was a letter from Luoyang..."

Chen Kaizhi said lightly: "This is not surprising. Even the letters from Luoyang are reasonable. The Yang family has been in charge for so many years and must have contact with Luoyang. It is even possible that there are many of their detailed works in Luoyang, which is not a strange thing."

Chen Kaizhi did not feel abnormal about this. Instead, he became cheerful: "If it were just like this, it would mean that the Deng Qing family had gained Yang Zhengqi's trust, and this was a good start."

Zhang Qianhu shook his head and said, "The problem lies here. The most strange thing here is not that someone in Luoyang has letters with Yang Zhengqi. What is really worrying is that when Lord Deng compiled a book for Yang Zhengqi, Yang Zhengqi used respectful words, and the other party's letters seemed very 'arrogant'. The humble one could only describe it as 'arrogance'. In short, it was more like the tone of elders teaching the younger generation, or... the boss scolded his subordinates. Moreover, the letters sent not only mentioned the attack on Yue Kingdom, but also... Luoyang..."

"Luoyang?" Chen Kaizhi frowned and felt a little unusual.

Zhang Qianhu continued: "The letter was vague, and in order to prevent it, Lord Deng had a very tight time to contact him just to prevent it. It was just a few words, but I can be sure that this person is closely related to Luoyang."

Chen Kaizhi raised his head and fell into deep thought. Then, he murmured: "Even Yang Zhengqi is respectful to this person, but this person is so rude to Yang Zhengqi. In the letter, it can be seen that even the attack on Yue State was instructed by this person. The only thing that can be explained is that this person is higher than Yang Zhengqi's status in the Yang family. Is it possible... this person is..."

When Zhang Qianhu saw Chen Kaizhi's words, he stopped and said subconsciously: "Yang Taigong Yang Zheng!"

Chen Kaizhi's face turned slightly cold, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Yang is in Luoyang?"

Zhang Qianhu nodded: "Even if it is not Yang Zheng, he must be an extremely important person. But the problem is that if he was in Luoyang, then... where did he hide, and what intentions did he have? Or... who is he..."

Yes, who is he!

This is the crucial problem.

If he was just pretending to be an ordinary person, then why would the dignified head of the Yang family be in Luoyang?

This itself is a matter of great risk unless...he can not only ensure his absolute safety, but also...he can also...he play a crucial role in his identity disguised.

Who is this person...

Who is he now...

Thinking about these questions carefully makes people feel terrifying.

Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "This person must be Yang Taigong, he must be him. This person must have a great relationship, very important..."

"I'm humble, I remembered something again..." Zhang Qianhu raised his eyes, looked at Chen Kaiyi's eyes, and continued: "Your Majesty has always wanted to restrict the governors from all walks of life. In addition, because after Your Majesty ascended the throne, his attention to Jibei inevitably made some people anxious. Do you still remember that there were gentry from Hexi who gave His Majesty a letter of ten thousand words to His Majesty?"

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but look at Zhang Qianhu with appreciation. This person... was quite knowledgeable. A Jinyiwei Qianhu could actually associate these problems with Yang Taigong. He seemed to have a little clarity in his heart, but he still looked at Zhang Qianhu with encouragement: "The Zhang Qing family will continue to talk."

Zhang Qianhu continued: "After Your Majesty was in power, all the world was celebrated, but there was never any two things in this world. The Jinyiwei actually saw it the most clearly. Therefore, although everyone in the world praised Your Majesty, it is not without people who were secretly dissatisfied. When Your Majesty arrived in Jibei, the cabinet summoned various military governors. Of course, the purpose was to refute favors. At that time, the cabinet wanted to use the method of refute favors to dismember various military governors. I remember this matter. Chen Yishou, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, also gave a special report to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty also approved it."

Chen Kaizhi nodded, he remembered something like this.

As soon as the Jiedushi opened the gap, Da Chen had enfeoffed dozens of Jiedushi. Over the years, these Jiedushi semi-independently ruled their own jurisdiction, raising troops and managing the country. Speaking of which, they had made contributions to the court, but Chen Kaizhi knew very well that the lessons of the previous life, the Jiedushi would sooner or later become a major concern for Da Chen. Therefore, since he ascended the throne, Chen Kaizhi had been secretly negotiating the issue of the Jiedushi with the cabinet. After thinking about it, if he wanted to solve this problem with the minimum loss, he could only use the order to express his grace.

Chen Kaizhi immediately said: "What Zhang Qing family means to summon various military governors to Beijing. This may be related to Yang Taigong, or perhaps this may be the core of Yang Taigong's desire to subvert my Da Chen?"

"I dare not assert." Zhang Qianhu hurriedly said, "I just know that these governors are dry firewood, and they have some concerns about His Majesty. If the order of grace is implemented, they can see the harm, but this dry firewood was taken to the capital. If it is stained with sparks, wouldn't it be..."

This description made Chen Kaizhi look at Zhang Qianhu again with appreciation, and nodded and said, "So you think this is what I am wrong."

"Not necessarily." Zhang Qianhu shook his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty has been pacifying Guanzhong, and it is the time to be famous all over the world. It is the best time to implement the order to promote the favor. Even if someone is dissatisfied, he is afraid that he will not dare to act rashly. But once it is implemented, even if they want to act rashly, it is too late, so he humbly thinks that this is indeed the best time. The problem now is that although this time is the best time, if these people have the backbone, it will be very different. What if someone gives them hope at this time?"

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Now is indeed the best time. These people will never dare to act rashly, but if someone comes out to respond and becomes their backbone, it will obviously be different. The problem is that this person must have enough energy to ensure that after the event is successful, they can stabilize the current situation in the world. If such people really count, they are rare and very few."

But... Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "No, those who can rest in the world must first gain power and must have the participation of the royal family. But now, there are enough royal families in this world who are qualified to stabilize the world. For example, King Zhao, King Zhao is now in Jibei, and he is far away from Luoyang. It will never be him. The other princes have some qualifications, such as King Liang and others. But in my opinion, they are too mediocre. I don't look down on them, but I just think that they must not have the courage. If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no one else."

"There is a person..." Zhang Qianhu raised his eyes and stared at Chen Kaizhi, as if there was a little taboo. He hesitated for a moment before saying word by word: "If it is this person, then... it will be enough to give people confidence."

Chen Kaizhi subconsciously frowned, and his bright black eyes widened slightly. Zhang Qianhu's reminder seemed to have made Chen Kaizhi think of it, but it made him feel a little disgusted.

Zhang Qianhu seemed to see Chen Kaizhi's dislike, but he did not hesitate anymore, and said: "King Jing Chen Yixing, among the royal family, has a great seniority, not to mention that he is also responsible for managing the affairs of the royal family. Not only that, he is also responsible for the logistics of the Warriors Camp..."

Before Zhang Qianhu finished speaking, Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said directly: "No, it could not be him, it would never be the emperor's uncle. I know his character best. I will never believe that he will be related to these things. I have been with King Jing for a long time and have a lot of trust in him."

Zhang Qianhu looked at Chen Kaizhi's increasingly ugly face and hurriedly said, "I'm so humble, but... I just think that people's hearts will change, let alone... since His Majesty ascended the throne..."
