「須將真相公諸於世。」黃綸義正詞嚴地說道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5upUJ9pVd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0LCj2dnvp
「黃先生所言甚是，」齊子紓站起身來，面對眾人說道：「或許我和方兄可將朱棣篡位的始末、連同朱棣竊國的明證，集結印製成冊，先在文士之間暗傳，還可讓應試秀才人手一冊，帶回他們的鄉里。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJPZdH3dUf

徐俌望著這群建文朝殉難忠臣的後人，他們會憤怒是理所當然，想起自己先祖因為一名高麗人的孽種而被抄家滅族，甚至連鄉里都遭瓜蔓抄，數代之後，怨憤未平。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tAXJbuGSd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j6bTapoxZ
「果然是忠良之後，百世而下，凜凜猶有生氣。」徐俌緩緩走到議事廳正中，對黃綸、齊子紓和方克復一一拱手，「三位的先祖曾為建文帝之文膽，若能在文官世族之間，將朱棣逆天的證據公諸於世，必能喚起人們對建文朝的懷念和對當朝的不滿。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYrQzXFCUZ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNNieT3lCe
正如他和汪直所謀畫。徐俌暗忖。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHMgYh0ydy
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbFO9qx6Zb
文人只要聽見甚麼風吹草動，就會趕忙振筆疾書，恨不得全天下都知曉他們所見所聞。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60rQ3hJJR0
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2AnCiieq6
如此一來，此一傳聞很快就能散播開來，不消一個月，連關外九邊都會知道當今皇帝是高麗人的孽種，因為謗文總是無遠弗屆。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWuPhfQsmh

成祖朱棣起兵造反，趕下侄兒建文帝之後，大肆誅戮舊臣，四方震懾，不得不伏首。接連的仁宣之治是與民生息的太平治世。百姓平安富足時，皇帝的身世血脈根本不重要，但是現在……236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvjjKcqVZ

「真相大白之後，下一步呢？」一直沉默的南京禮部侍郎鄭時銓發言，「如何使偽帝退位，還政於太祖後人？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV0vl3W3YK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakU7wb99p
「下一步，自然是上書請立韓王為儲君，」徐俌說到此處，話音一頓，望了望北方，「今上患有積濕之疾，氣衰體虛，遲遲未能有子，當真相披露，輿情沸騰，人心動盪之際，為安天下，朝臣必會要央求今上預立儲君。屆時，我等聯合朝中勢力，一致推舉韓王為儲，最後必能迎回正主，還都南京。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Er1ARlLx
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInHJHyjP9j
此言一出，在座者莫不激動，有人重捶案桌，有人接連叫好。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qBVChulTn
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI9ummQI54
眾人對當朝早有不滿，徐俌不過激出他們深埋心中的義憤，適時為他所用。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoe7TWPY8a
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNMi1etph
謝瑺緩緩走上前，對眾人說道：「內閣傳出，皇帝已邀集諸臣，商討立親王為儲一事，我等正好藉機起事。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirdgwHmwDh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksg6V7HkMj
徐俌神色凝重地環顧四周眾人，攏起冠服長袖，著著實實做了一個長揖。 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe9OOZbkvX
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOOwoIHkn5
「十年前，老夫將和簡太子皇孫帶回金陵時，不過是想保全其性命，延續太祖血脈，誰知當今皇上崇信姦邪，昏愚自暴，以致吏治紊亂，稅制苛重。朱棣竊居帝位，子孫倒行逆施，招致天災人禍，老夫唯有祈請韓王以宗社為重，勉徇輿情，君臨大寶，報祖宗積德之勤，太祖創業之艱。韓王生性寬厚，謙敬好學，如太祖嫡子懿文太子一般溫文爾雅，登基之後，必能行仁政，削藩權，革冗員，重農興學，如當年太祖皇帝，廓清內難。威德遐披，四方賓服。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ885cdxNXmS
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXb3fb2dQM

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgGhJMmTuC
「行，找幾個人混進恭王府和鄭王府，伺機挑撥，務必讓兩家爭個你死我亡。」汪直笑道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct3bd7zEdp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPQXpQUbsj
另一名校尉走向前，說道：「督公要的兩人一直都待在崇文書院，日同行，夜同寢，難分難捨，要不要……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1i8PQ74TA
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLLX0ChzB

兩名校尉告退之後，徐俌跨進門檻。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXpFy61lTO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jrPbR8MQ1
「賀喜國公，金陵仕子皆已為我等所用，」汪直起身同他行禮問安，「國公口若懸河，可抵百萬雄師，在國公縱橫策辯之下，輿情可控，大業自然水到渠成。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMpY4VoeFK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78NCIRFvRX
「督公，」徐俌意味深長地看了汪直一眼，「今上還是不肯預立儲君嗎？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj8OJ6DPZg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6OY6HZouf
「這個……」汪直欲言又止，「先把朱棣得位不正的傳言放出去，使輿情沸騰，在多方壓力之下，相信皇帝不久便會屈服。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8Lk2sMwm
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK0A36SMmv
徐俌點頭，像是鬆了口氣，隨即又問，「我們有了大義名份，是否要將韓王為太祖三世孫的證據一併放出？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTpdCM6Btv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD2FeFo5GE
「不急，讓輿論燒一會兒，」汪直收回目光，雙手環抱胸前，「等鄭王和恭王兩人先沉不住氣，欲趁勢逼宮，我們好整以暇，等著坐收漁利，若是皇帝還不肯就範，我等還是得趁早布局，備齊兵馬。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYWLRHK6a2

徐俌一言不發地站起來，從牆上取下一幅山水畫，翻到背面，在桌上攤開，原來背面畫大明朝的疆域圖，還有九邊各鎮防線的布兵，特別以硃砂筆描繪。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO754CAhGq2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCXdbKgXtE
「代王、寧康王、榮王兵力共十萬，三人都願襄助我等起事，」徐俌在地圖上指出兵馬的行軍路線，「老夫親兵護衛、舊部、以及多年來所豢養的死士，共有五萬人，五城兵馬司、南京五軍都督府、還有西廠和御馬監麾下，可集結十萬兵馬。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJrlTwl0C4
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxaREOwjIH
汪直皺起眉，沉思半晌，伸手按了按太陽穴，「就怕有人臨陣龜縮，必須盡可能募集兵馬，備齊糧草。況且，只有正規軍不夠，還需要一支武藝高強的突襲隊，專責暗殺和潛行任務。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDMVWSC68
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97kKg1ctLD
「老夫就想不出，還能往何處招兵買馬。」徐俌吹鬍子瞪眼，顯得有些急躁。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xA126QsJ

汪直看出他的疑問，變細細解說：「首先，必須為韓王建立知人善任，禮遇天下英才的名聲，接著還得花下重金，廣納賢士……」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HZonPlxaT
