Ming Jiajing: Starting from Immortality

Chapter 123 Assassinating Jiajing, Altan proclaimed himself emperor!
Zhao Quan was born in a military household of Sifeng Mountain in Zuowei, Yunchuan, Xishan. Qiu Fu was a scholar from Shanyin County. Both were former members of the White Lotus Sect.

Xishan Yanbei was the place where the Ming Dynasty bordered the Altan tribe. It was harassed frequently and the people were miserable, but they had nowhere to turn to.

Zhao Quan and Qiu Fu were the guides of the White Lotus Sect during the Ming Dynasty, and they found a suitable and safe place for the White Lotus Sect to preach.

However, like the White Lotus Sect, if they did not show up in the Ming Dynasty, they would be killed.

Zhao and Qiu had no choice but to lead their followers to flee from Ninglu Fort with their families and defected to Fengzhou Beach.

Zhao Quan is tall and handsome, with a murderous aura on his handsome face, which perhaps proves the saying that appearance reflects the heart, and the outer appearance cannot cover up the darkness in the heart.

When people get close to each other, they will feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. Even Qiu Fu, who is also a traitor leader and a partner for many years, can never get used to it.

The desert was freezing cold in late autumn and the sun was shining brightly, but Zhao Quan could not feel a trace of warmth.

Looking at the Ming court in the southeast direction, a bone-chilling chill spread from the bottom of my heart to my entire body.

The great hunt and purge of the Ming Dynasty is finally coming.

Tatar and Ming Dynasty are going to negotiate.

And one of the conditions is them.

Zhao Quan couldn't imagine what would happen if he fell into the hands of the Ming court, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Over the years, more than 100,000 Ming soldiers and civilians have been killed as guides for the Tatars. Such a blood debt cannot be repaid by simply beheading them.

When he thought of this, Zhao Quan was filled with infinite resentment towards Altan. After so many years of loyalty, in Altan's heart, he was not as good as a grandson who defected to the Ming court.

You know, over the past few decades, he was the one who settled all the Han people who surrendered to the Tatars.

The Han people who came to surrender did not know how to ride horses and fight, and it was he who led the traitors to build houses and grow crops here.

There are thousands of acres of fertile land in Fengzhou Beach, and every acre of reclamation is related to him.

As the number of traitors increased, he established villages and built forts, connecting villages and strongholds, until Bansheng had hundreds of villages and strongholds.

It was he who, together with the traitor craftsmen, manufactured weapons such as bows and arrows, halberds, spears, and armor.

The Altan tribe became the ruler of the grassland because of his indelible contribution.

But now, Altan Khan is turning against us.

Zhao Quan knew that the beautiful and charming Ye'er Zhongjin could not actually shake Altan's mind, she was just trying it out.

If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself!

Qiu Fu still retained a trace of elegance. He stood straight beside Zhao Quan without saying a word.

Altan Khan no longer wanted them. The Ming court wished to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Rather than being offered to the Ming court by Altan Khan, it would be better for them to die early and be reborn.

The two of them were connected in spirit, sharing life and death, Zhao Quan no longer concealed anything, and said: "Brother Xiucai, you know that over the years, I have selected many cunning men to disguise themselves as Taoist priests and beggars, wander around the borders of the Ming court, and sneak into the capital to spy on intelligence.

This year, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty rose to power, and it became difficult for informants to send back information. But last year and before, it was said that the old and sick emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not live long.

You say, if Prince Yu ascended the throne, would the situation be different?"

Lead the party.

It's not an easy job. The intelligence must be accurate, so informants are indispensable.

It was very easy for a traitor to roam around the nine borders and nine towns of the Ming Dynasty without being discovered, as he only changed his identity but not his skin color or appearance.

But that was only before last year. With the rise of the Jinyiwei, the Ming court invested several million taels of silver in the Jinyiwei, and a large number of traitors and informants from other ethnic groups such as Tatars and Jurchens were eliminated.

Now, Zhao Quan's traitor informants have basically no useful information except for the most basic official changes in the Ming court. As for the downfall of Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Yan Shifan, the only person Zhao Quan really knew about Zhang Juzheng's cabinet was Gao Gong.

If the old emperor of the Ming Dynasty died and the new emperor became Prince Yu, given Prince Yu's temperament, he would most likely let his teacher Gao Gong take charge of the country and the cabinet.

Gao Gongtian was fearless and had a hot temper, like a firecracker that would explode as soon as it was ignited. By then, if he made a little move, the peace talks between Tatar and the Ming Dynasty would be broken.

Qiu Fu's eyes widened and he asked, "Assassinate the old emperor?"

Even though he was a traitor, Qiu Fu still had a minimum of respect when talking about the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After all, he was the most powerful person in the world.

Will the assassination succeed?
If the assassination succeeds, will Prince Yu definitely succeed to the throne?

King Jing of the Ming Dynasty is also in the capital!

Zhao Quan looked fiercely at the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty and said, "Why not?"

As mentioned before, over the past few decades, he has been developing traitors and informants throughout the nine borders and towns of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the capital.

Although the Jinyiwei are very powerful and can silence the traitorous informants, it is not impossible to use them if they really need to.

Haven’t you seen how the old Ming Emperor dealt with those traitorous merchants from Shanxi, punishing all of their clans?

If those traitor informants did not want their identities revealed and the Ming court knew about their treason and their entire clans executed, they could only go to the capital to assassinate the old emperor.

If the Renyin Palace Coup could happen, why couldn’t the Palace Breaking and Killing happen?
What's more, the old emperor lived in the Western Garden, not the heavily defended Forbidden City.

As for King Jing of the Ming Dynasty, let's assassinate him together.

The dog is so anxious that he jumps over the wall!
Qiu Fu knew that this was a desperate measure, and he also knew that this was not a solution, but he really had no choice but to let Zhao Quan do what he wanted.

After finalizing the plan to assassinate the Ming Emperor and King Jing, Zhao Quan did not stop there. He wrote another letter in which he detailed his regret for selling out his country for personal gain and becoming a traitor. He expressed his willingness to surrender back to the Ming Dynasty and hoped that the Ming Emperor would spare their lives.

Between the lines, there is endless flattery and regret.

The letter was secretly sent to the Ming court.

Although Zhao Quan did not explain the letter, Qiu Fu understood that this was not a true surrender, but a letter to paralyze the Ming court, delay time, and wait for the assassination of the traitor informant.

No matter who is in power in the Ming Dynasty court, they will never let these traitorous dogs go.

The Tatars and the Ming Dynasty must eradicate their desire for peace.

"Let's go."

After doing all this, Zhao Quan stood up and headed towards the Khan's tent, "Go and persuade the Khan to establish a country and become emperor!"

Altan Khan was a heroic ruler with great ambitions. The traitor Bansheng had been urging Altan Khan to establish a country and become emperor on the grassland a long time ago, but unfortunately Altan Khan never agreed.

If Altan Khan had established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, there would never be any possibility of peace between the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty.

keep it up.

……

Ok Hee Palace.

After reading Tatar Khan Altan Khan's vision for peace talks, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin saw the surrender letter from the traitor Bansheng and could not help but sneer.

Idiot's dream!

Zhu Houcong walked out from the imperial desk and said indifferently: "Send the envoy to bring this letter to Altan!"
