Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 583

Chapter 581: Falling apart

Of course, what Huang Chao said was only an oral declaration. In terms of military power and political power, he not only did not relax, but he was more strict.

Now is the most critical time for the Ming court, so Huang Chao is even more direct when it comes to requesting resources from the court.

Qingzhou still has three threats, Pingyuan Liubei, Liangshan Songjiang and Beihai Kongrong.

Huang Chao doesn't care about these three people very much, but if the three of them join forces, even Huang Chao must be careful.

Huang Chao organized several battles and wanted to unify Qingzhou, but the three parties joined forces to defend, and there was insufficient food and grass in reserve, so in the end, they did not get much benefit.

Now that such a good opportunity is in front of Huang Chao, how could he not blackmail some food and grass, after all, Yanzhou had hoarded all the food and grass of the Yellow Turbans.

Zhang Sheng was also so angry at Huang Chao's robbery, but he could only grit his teeth.

Daming is now in a precarious situation. If Huang Chao's prestige falls, it is likely to speed up Daming's split. It would be good to appease Huang Chao with only part of the grain. After all, Daming is not short of grain.

Yangzhou, Shouchun.

"Yellow Nest..."

Fang La's angry roar came from the Governor's Mansion, and after a while, there were various sounds of smashing things.

After venting for a while, Fang La was still furious in his heart. He naturally knew why Huang Chao supported Zhang Sheng, because Huang Chao did not want him to be the new emperor.

Since Zhang Sheng's real identity was revealed, Fang La has been following the movements of the Central Plains, and he also vaguely expected that things would get worse.

Fang La didn't believe that all the ministers in the dynasty would allegiance to a woman. Once things got too far out of control and Zhang Sheng couldn't bear the pressure and was forced to abdicate, Fang La would be the one most likely to be regarded as the new emperor.

After annexing Hong Xiuquan's Jiangbei land, Fang La has now occupied most of Xuzhou and northern Yangzhou, and has become the second most powerful prince in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Fang La is the new emperor, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will be doubled, which is beneficial to both sides.

However, Huang Chao's declaration was like a needle in the sea, which temporarily calmed the turbulent Ming Dynasty, and the hearts of all parties were appeased, but Fang La's plan was only destroyed.

Fang La looked to the north with hatred in his eyes, and said coldly: "Huang Chao, wait for me, this hatred and this hatred will never end."

Of course Fang La knew why Huang Chao wanted to snipe him, because when Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan were fighting for the successor, Fang La stood on Hong Xiuquan's side against Huang Chao, so how could Huang Chao allow Fang La to ascend to the throne?

"Someone." Fang La drank coldly.

"Subordinates are here."

"Record the next words of the Governor, and rubbing it with [-] points and spread it to the states."

A cold look flashed in Fang La's eyes, and she said lightly: "The thief Zhang Sheng disguised himself as a man, and the cholera was beyond the rule of law, deceiving the world, named Emperor Ming, but he was a thief..."

The visitor was stunned and stammered, "Captain, this, this, isn't it right?"

Fang La stared at the man with murderous intent in his eyes. The man couldn't bear it anymore and had to bow his head and clasped his fists, "Subordinates obey."

After the man left, Fang La's eyes became even colder. He didn't expect Zhang Sheng to be so popular that even his confidants spoke for her.

"Junior sister, you were allowed to sit in that position before, just because the situation was chaotic at that time. Except you, the Holy Maiden of Peace, it was difficult for everyone else to convince the public. Now that your identity has been exposed, it is time to retire and hand it over to my senior brother. already."

Not many people know Zhang Sheng's true identity, but there are still quite a few in Daming, and Fang La is one of them.

Fang La didn't say before that he needed Zhang Sheng to stabilize the situation, but if he didn't say it now, he really wouldn't have the slightest chance to sit in the position of Emperor Ming.

"Junior sister, don't blame senior brother, it was Huang Chao who forced senior brother to die."

Fang La's eyes were full of coldness, and she sneered, "What should you do next?"

Between a woman and herself, Fang La is confident that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty know how to choose. After all, he has the support of the Yin and Yang family behind him.

How did Fang La know that the Yin Yang family was just using him, just like they were using Zhang Jiao at the beginning. Of course, his weight was definitely not comparable to Zhang Jiao.

If Huang Chao's declaration stabilized the turmoil within Daming, then Fang La's remarks stimulated the turmoil in Daming.

Fang La, the biggest prince of the Ming Dynasty, all stood up and said that Zhang Sheng was the saint of Taiping, Dongfang Sheng. Does that confirm the identity of Zhang Sheng's daughter?
Of course not.

Except for Fang La's blunt words, there is no evidence that Zhang Sheng is a woman, and Li Shimin's rumors are the same, there is no definite evidence.

So unless Zhang Sheng admits it personally, or finds definite evidence, rumors alone can only shake her foundation, not enough to drive her off the throne.

If Zhang Sheng was fighting alone, rumors alone might have knocked her down, but behind her were a group of ministers such as Zhang Liang, Zhang Sanfeng, and Xiang Yu, as well as the team that Zhang Jiao left behind for her.

Although the interior of the Daming court is not monolithic, it is still united. Fang La has clearly stood on the opposite side. Naturally, it is impossible for the Daming court to remain indifferent.

People in the DPRK who were loyal to Zhang Sheng all stood up and accused Fang La of being ambitious, wanting to split the Ming Dynasty, betraying the Yellow Turbans, ascending to the throne and not being a son of man.

There are also various rumors circulating among the people that Fang La will do anything to set the emperor's position, and even frame Zhang Sheng as a woman's remarks, and Fang La's reputation has dropped to the extreme.

Yanzhou, Chen Liu, Daming Palace.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Xuzhou, Fang La, slandering the saint is like treason..."

Xiang Yu stood up and spoke, and clasped his fists with a stern expression on his face: "The last commander, please order to lead the army to quell the rebellion."

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly stood up when he saw it.

"Your Majesty, this minister is also willing to lead troops to quell the rebellion. If you fail, you are willing to cut yourself off to thank the world."

Xiang Yu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and knew in his heart that this junior was afraid of his own prestige, so he didn't want to let himself control the military power. After all, he was the one who was most affected after he returned to the court.

Xiang Yu admired Zhu Yuanzhang very much. After all, he was able to become the commander of Qu in the shortest time, and he was also accepted as a closed disciple by Zhang Jiao, which showed his ability and loyalty.

"It's a pity that the desire for power and selfishness is a little more serious." Xiang Yu secretly said in his heart,
At this time, Xiang Yu finally understood why Zhang Sheng wanted to restrain Zhu Yuanzhang, because if there was no checks and balances, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely become a powerful minister.

For the sake of Daming, for Zhang Sheng, and in order to live up to Zhang Jiao, Zhu Yuanzhang did everything with all his heart, worked hard, and did everything by himself.

But in Zhang Sheng's eyes, what Zhu Yuanzhang did became the behavior of a powerful minister. If Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhang Sheng's true thoughts, he didn't know how he would feel.
