Chapter 697: The sky has changed
Transiting to Henan...
Zhang Yanghao couldn't help but thrust his face again, and then glared at Zhang Yanzhi: "How dare you..."
When I got to this point, I swallowed it back into my stomach.
Zhang Yanzhi said: "The arrow is on the string and you have to be fired. What's the solution? Brother Zhang... I'll say the truth. I'm 70% to 80% sure about this. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to make such a bad decision. What's more, today's situation, in an old saying, "Death is death, and great things are also affairs, so why not fight hard? If Brother Zhang wants to take me, I'll have nothing to say..."
Zhang Yanghao quickly calmed down. He knew in his heart that he had been involved too deeply.
He took a deep breath and continued to stare at Zhang Yanzhi: "Do you rely on these people alone?"
"I wonder what else can Brother Zhang teach you?"
"If you want to act, you can't count on this." Zhang Yanghao said: "If otherwise, if others react, we will definitely die. The Jinyiwei and the Donglin Army are not vegetarians. Besides, since you plan to welcome Li Zicheng, do you really only hope to open the city gate and welcome those bandits into the capital, and then you think you are a hero who is the dragon?"
Zhang Yanzhi looked at Zhang Yanghao and hurriedly said, "Can you say more details?"
"If you want to do great things, you must do the most good and beautiful things. If you want to follow the dragon, you must have great achievements in the sky. Otherwise, then Li Zicheng will be rewarded by the capital and will be rewarded by me in terms of merit?"
Zhang Yanzhi cheered up: "So what does Brother Zhang think?"
"We must directly control the capital before Li Zicheng enters Beijing, which shows our ability."
"Control the capital?"
Zhang Yanghao said: "On the one hand... the people you contact should act in the capital, and in the early stage... be especially careful. In addition, you should prohibit the palace. After blocking the palace, it is best to control the outside court, control the people in the cabinet, and let them draw up the decree. Once the decree is issued, it will be legitimate. At that time... mobilize the troops in the capital..."
Zhang Yanzhidao: "The cabinet is also in the palace, I'm afraid it's hard to control it."
Zhang Yanghao thought for a while: "But it may not be possible. There are a few eunuchs in the palace who have always been friends with me. In addition, didn't you say that you have an old age with the Yulin Guard? Besides, the officials in this cabinet... I can find a way to control it."
Zhang Yanyi suddenly felt energetic: "If Brother Zhang is willing to take action, it would be great."
Zhang Yanghao said angrily: "If it weren't for being forced into the corner, how could you get on your pirate ship?"
"My foolish brother died."
Zhang Yanghao said: "But, take a look at Li Zicheng's letters. If there is no letters from him, I will be worried after all."
Zhang Yanzhi was not negligent. He had already brought Li Zicheng's letter and took it out and handed it to Zhang Yanghao.
In fact, Zhang Yanghao couldn't tell the authenticity of Li Zicheng's letters. This was mainly a test. If Zhang Yanzhi seemed disgusted, then Zhang Yanzhi might have concealed something.
Seeing Zhang Yanzhi so happy, I believed it seven or eight minutes ago. I looked down at the letter, but it was recently reported that the army had passed through Henan and was about to arrive in northern Zhili soon. Let Zhang Yanzhi in the city prepare early and cooperate with the inside and outside at that time."
Zhang Yanghao folded the letter, closed his eyes, sighed and said, "I am loyal and kind, but today I have to commit myself to being a thief, but... there is no way to do this. To this day, only in this way can I save my life."
Zhang Yan's way: "Brother Zhang is a loyal and kind descendant, and everyone knows that it is just a good bird to choose a tree to live on. First, the minister will cook twenty. This is an eternal truth. Mencius said: If a king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the minister treats his king as his heart; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister treats his king as a countryman; if a king treats his ministers as grass, then the minister treats his king as an enemy. Confucius and Mencius's words will never be wrong. Then Li Zicheng is a virtuous lord. As long as the matter is successful, he will not be granted a title of marquis or prime minister at that time."
Zhang Yanghao just sneered. He was about to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister in the Ming Dynasty, so why do you need to find a new master?
But... now he has no choice.
So he waved his hand: "Go and prepare quickly. Today, I have to go around and watch the wind. If there is no other problem, this matter should be taken immediately, and it will change later. If it is not unexpected, then act after tomorrow evening."
"Let's do it tomorrow?"
Zhang Yanghao stared at Zhang Yanzhi and looked at him with disdainful eyes: "Why, are you scared now? Aren't you brave? This kind of thing involved many people. The longer the time is, the problem will be leaked. If you delay for a day, the more risk you will be. In addition... Li Zicheng has arrived in Beizhili, and his military horses may appear outside the city at any time. If we hesitate, there will be no contribution. I am the Minister of Personnel. If there is no contribution, even if I become a minister who bears the ruler, then Li Zicheng will have many civil and military personnel around him. Where will he get your turn? Without great achievements, why should he gain a foothold in the future? Therefore, not only should he offer the city, but he must also offer the city before the bandits come, so he shows his ability."
Zhang Yanzhi gritted his teeth: "Since Brother Zhang said this, okay, that's it. Brother Yu is going to prepare with someone."
Zhang Yanghao closed his eyes and said nothing.
Zhang Yanzhi said, "So foolish brother said goodbye."
Zhang Yanghao ignored him and was unwilling to be polite to him. Obviously, he still complained about this guy dragging him into the water.
However, Zhang Yanzhi just smiled, bowed, and left in a hurry.
…………
There was nothing wrong that night.
But the next day, Zhang Yanghao fell ill on the pretext of noticing that he did not go to the Ministry of Personnel.
After that, some people were summoned to meet each other, and at noon, they seemed a little restless.
Things seemed to be moving forward in an orderly manner, but he still felt a little worried.
The person who should contact has been almost done.
Of course, it is mainly one's own relatives.
For him, Zhang Yanzhi could not count on it. What is important is to control the cabinet and various departments.
It is easy to control, but not easy to say. But it is difficult, but it is not necessarily difficult.
After finally waiting until it was getting late, Zhang Yanzhi came again.
Zhang Yanzhi's sedan chair arrived at the flower hall and fell into the sedan chair. This time Zhang Yanghao did not go out to meet him.
Zhang Yanzhi went in and said straight to the point: "Everyone is ready as he told me, but when will he take action?"
"Waiting for the signal of me," Zhang Yanghao said: "You make people fully prepared. Later, I will enter the palace... take the opportunity to act... I have contacted the people in the palace, but the people of the Yulin Guard... need their inner support. In addition, there are also a group of military officials. What are the reliability of these military officials?"
Zhang Yanzhidao: "I have a roster here."
As he said that, he sent the roster to Zhang Yanghao.
When Zhang Yanghao saw it, he was shocked: "So many people?"
"This requires the blessing of nine thousand years of this." Zhang Yanzhi smiled: "Nine thousand years of this year are from Beizhili. During his years of power, he promoted a large number of people from Beizhili, filling the cabinet, six ministries, as well as imperial guards, and the Beijing camp. And these people... were just fellow townsmen with us. When the stocks were listed, they were often allowed to take advantage of them. Now, they have taken advantage of them, and now they are all like frightened birds, frightened and uneasy."
When Zhang Yanghao heard this, he was furious. Wouldn't he be a fool who was dragged into the water?
But now, he was quite calm. After all, the anger had slowly passed.
Since I have already made a choice, the most important thing at the moment is...how to do this beautifully. He looked down at the list: "Okay, I know it in my heart. Tell them that I will create opportunities and let them enter the palace. Next, it depends on their ability."
Zhang Yanzhi said: "This..."
Zhang Yanghao said: "Don't ask what you shouldn't know. In short, I have all the arrangements."
After all, Zhang Yanghao is the Minister of Personnel and is definitely not a good-looking person. He not only knows the situation in the capital and the palace, but also acts meticulously.
At first, Zhang Yanzhi thought he was walking by the nose, but soon, Zhang Yanzhi discovered that he was being led by Zhang Yanghao.
But now that I am not concerned about this, Zhang Yanzhi nodded: "Okay, as Brother Zhang said."
Zhang Yanghao said: "You go."
Zhang Yanzhi thought for a while: "Do you have to explain anything else?"
Zhang Yanghao said: "There is nothing to explain, let's act according to the plan."
Zhang Yanzhi: "..."
However, Zhang Yanghao had issued an order to expel guests.
Wait for Zhang Yanzhi to leave.
Zhang Yanghao said: "Come here, change clothes for me and prepare sedan chairs."
"yes."
A family member hurried in and immediately attracted several maids.
The maid changed Zhang Yanghao's court uniform. At this time, Zhang Yanghao's son Zhang Ju came in carefully: "Father..."
Zhang Yanghao stared at Zhang Ju deeply: "You listen to what he said just now..."
"Yes, my son is in the ear room, and I heard it."
Zhang Yanghao said: "I have been fooled by this person in my life, so you must know... the world is dangerous, you must be more careful when dealing with people."
Zhang Ju nodded: "Yes, my son remembers, where is the father going?"
Zhang Yanghao said lightly: "Go to do something big. After tonight, this day will change, but... it's hard to predict what my Zhang family will look like after this change. You... are so happy to be at home, close the door, and go here for your father... You shouldn't be back tonight."
Zhang Ju couldn't help but say: "Father...son is a little worried..."
Zhang Yanghao was calm and calm and said, "There is nothing to worry about... I will not do things that I am not sure about, please wait for good news."
Zhang Ju still frowned. He had actually learned something from the few words and conversations between Zhang Yanghao and Zhang Yanzhi.
If you are not careful about such a big thing, it may be that the corpse will be gone, and even the disaster will be caused to the whole family.
Zhang Ju said: "If I had known this, I would not have taken Zhang Yanzhi's stock if I had died. This Zhang Yanzhi... has ill-intentioned!"
