Chapter 340: Ancestral Glory Must Not Be Lost
Where is the British Duke going, Liaodong? How can this be! One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the entire court all stared at the boss, looking at the British public Zhang Weixian who was kneeling on the ground with a serious face. Since Emperor Yingzong's northern hunting, the princes have been eating and waiting for death in the mansion for hundreds of years, so why did his British Duke Zhang Weixian suddenly change his sex today?
The British public Zhang Weixian's request for help, Emperor Wanli did not immediately express his attitude, but subconsciously wanted to caress the jade Ruyi who was no longer in his hand. For so many years, he had to fiddle whenever he thought, and this habit was learned from his mean and unkind imperial grandfather, Emperor Jiajing. Ruyi is satisfied, which is also the most complete interpretation of Emperor Wanli's attitude towards Chen Junde.
And when Emperor Wanli saw the portrait that Wang An brought back, he was so satisfied that he was ecstatic. This is not to say how good Chen Junde looks, but that his appearance is exactly the same as Emperor Wanli imagined in his heart! Especially the heroic spirit between the eyebrows, which made Emperor Wanli nod again and again, maybe only such a person would become such a heroic thing! As for Chen Junde's disposal, Emperor Wanli actually has only one purpose in his heart, he must not die! The previous Kaiyuan victory does not prove that Chen Junde can quell the war in Liaodong in one fell swoop, but it can prove that Chen Junde dares to fight and has the tenacious will to survive in a desperate situation! This will never flinch may be the root cause of his impeachment!
Thinking of this, Emperor Wanli raised his head slightly, looking at the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who knelt down to ask for his life, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, which slowly became clearer and clearer, and in the end, it was lingering! I have been controlled everywhere in my life, and the culprit is you mediocre ministers who can't do anything but care! Although I don't want to see my eldest son, I must not let you Wenchen dominate the military and political affairs of the court alone! The Ming dynasty should be managed by the surname Zhu, and this British duke and the forces behind him are the forces that balance you powerful bullies!
"The British are really loyal to the country, and I am very relieved! The war in Liaodong is the attention of the court, and the arrest of the generals in front of the army before the war is unstable, if it is defeated, the disaster of Jiannu will become a spark and a prairie fire, and then Liaodong will never have peace! It moves the whole body, so Zhong Yibo should not come to Beijing for the time being! However, since there is an impeachment, I can't ignore it, but the British public can find out about Zhu Wanliang's performance and supervise the war, and encourage the front-line soldiers on behalf of me, which is a great good! The cabinet immediately issued a decree to give the British public the sword to inspect Liaodong"!
Emperor Wanli's will, the face of the scholar Fang Congzhe was black and terrifying at the moment. And he stared at Zhang Weixian's serious face without shying away from it, and suddenly stood up and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this move is very inappropriate, and Grandpa Guo's words are not very reasonable!" As the so-called slaughtering knife is used to kill chickens, the loyal Yibo does not need to be personally shot by Grandpa Guo! The imperial court has its own criminal department, Dali Temple, and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the war in Liaodong is also led by Xiong Tingbi! What's more, Kaiyuan City is the source of the war in Liaodong, and the British public status is noble, so they should not walk in danger"!
Speaking of this, Fang Congzhe gritted his teeth after looking at the thoughtful faces of the quasi-university scholars Liu Yixiao and Han Yi, and said: "If Your Majesty is still not at ease, you can also send the factory guards into Liao to investigate, and after the three divisions will be tried, and then the holy judgment will be made!"
The courtiers didn't take it seriously at first, but when Fang Congzhe, a good old man, stood up, he actually used the factory guard to block the emperor's mouth. Gradually, I smelled a hint of conspiracy, and the matter was far more complicated than it seemed now.
Especially Liu Yixian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he understood the look in Fang Congzhe's eyes just now, and he hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, what the elder of the Fang Pavilion said is very true, the person who supervises the war should be selected by the Ministry of War, and the grandfather of the country is not in line with the ancestral system!" Besides, the Gyeonggi Heavy Land still needs to be guarded by the princes, and the war in Liaodong does not need the princes to go"!
As soon as Liu Yixie's words came out, everyone understood, it seems that your British public Zhang Weixian drunkard does not mean to drink! You are obviously investigating the case, but you really want to lead the troops to fight and regain the glory of your ancestors, of course you can't! You can just eat and drink, military affairs have nothing to do with your honors! And they all saw the emperor's thoughts, using literature to control martial arts is an unchangeable ancestral system, if you want to fish in troubled waters, don't even think about it! If the nobles participate in the government again in the future, the matter of Tumu Fort is just around the corner.
Although Han Yi reacted a little slower, and only stood up after everyone had a thick look of worry on their faces, but his voice was not small, and he copied his deafening voice and said: "Your Majesty, this battle in Liaodong is very important, and now Chen Junde, the loyal and Yibo, is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and he must not be allowed to be in Kaiyuan City!" And the battle he proposed must be stopped! The emperor let the grandfather of the country go to Liao, which is a palliative but not a cure, not to mention that as a prince of the country, he cannot leave Beijing without authorization! The emperor still escorted Chen Junde into Beijing, and ordered the army of Liaodong to strictly defend and find fighters again."
Under the leadership of the first assistant of the cabinet, almost all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "The battle of Liaodong is very important, and I ask the emperor to withdraw his fate, this move must not be"!
Emperor Wanli looked at the people who were mourning with a gloomy face, and the fire in his heart was about to erupt from his eyes! It's this set again, you were forced to do so one by one back then! You keep saying that you are thinking about the court, but in the final analysis, it is for the power in your hands! You regard the court as a place for your civil servants, and you can't see a shadow of seeking common ground while reserving differences. This is for the future, and I will not allow you to be presumptuous!
Just when Emperor Wanli was about to be ruthless, Zhang Weixian, a British prince kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted with a sad and angry face: "Haha, colleagues, it really surprises me that the nobles who prevent us from being more powerful than the horseshoe knives and guns of Jiannu"!
After finishing speaking, he took off the official hat on his head and put it in front of him, looking like it was completely open. After kowtowing to the expressionless Emperor Wanli three times in a row, he continued to speak loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has received the emperor's favor, but it is a corpse vegetarian meal!" I am really ashamed of the emperor, the court, the people of the world, and the ancestors! Over the past hundred years, Weichen has become a moth of the country in the mouths of the people! This Liaodong War is imminent, although Weichen can't lead the troops for the imperial court like his ancestors and clear the enemy, but on behalf of the saint to inspect Liaodong, why can't he supervise the soldiers? The ancestors of Weichen all obtained this title with military merits, sharing worries for the saints, and Jingbian for the imperial court, which is the unshirkable responsibility of Weichen! The war in Liaodong cannot be kept out of the matter, and I hope that the emperor will approve it"!
Dingguo Duke Xu Xi, Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, and the big and small nobles behind them glanced at each other when they saw this, as if they had mustered up enough courage to learn from the British Duke Zhang Weixian to kneel on the ground. Qi Qi put his official hats on the ground in front of them, and then shouted with a sad and angry face: "Your Majesty, we are willing to share the worries of the saint and appease the court!" We can't stay out of the war in Liaodong, and I hope that the emperor will approve it!"
Fang Congzhe turned his head and looked at the nobles with the same expressions, such a neat slogan must have been discussed before. What are you well-fed nobles going to do? Is this to blackmail the emperor with resignation or to blackmail us? Today, I even dare to pierce this layer of window paper in a grand manner! Hmph, we have been pressed for hundreds of years, how can we let you turn over easily?
In fact, this matter was guessed correctly from Zhezhen, that is, on the night when Zhu Wanliang's recital was sent to the capital, all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty in the capital gathered together. The British public Zhang Weixian pulled his head and discussed the matter of this newly promoted noble Chen Junde.
Of course, they don't have any special thoughts about this Zhong Yibo who they have never met, what does it matter to him whether he lives or dies! However, the British public Zhang Weixian thought that this matter was a big deal to do, and pointed out that these nobles looked glamorous on the outside, but life was difficult. Chen Junde's final result is not important, but the emperor takes him very seriously, and he will definitely not treat him like an ordinary military attaché, and will definitely send someone to Liao to investigate the case.
But these Wenchen emperors will not use it, for so many years, the emperor has never looked at those sour Confucians, and the British public Zhang Weixian pointed out that their noble opportunity has finally come. So they decided to go out of the capital even if they were desperate to supervise the case tomorrow morning. Strive to pull Chen Junde down to his side, as the first step for Xungui to pout! In the end, with the sentence "The glory of the ancestors must not be lost in the hands of their own and others", he successfully unified the nobles who have always been able to get by, and assured them one by one.
Regarding the noble forced palace, Fang Congzhe, as the head of the Wenchen, had to express his position. This is different from the party struggle, if these honors and nobles are allowed to stand on the court, the entire civil service will be greatly impacted. At this time, he couldn't protect himself in Mingzhe, Fang Congzhe also tore his face, and asked at the British Duke Zhang Weixian: "Grandpa Guo, what are you doing here?" Is it threatening the emperor and the court? Have you forgotten about the Civil Fort? If it weren't for Yu Shaobao's efforts to turn the tide, Jiangshan Sheji would have been almost destroyed in your hands! The emperor is merciful, so that you nobles are still high-ranking officials, and you have no worries about food and clothing. If the court doesn't hold you accountable, how can you not think about the emperor's grace and brazenly want to take charge of the army again? Jiangshan Sheji is not a child's play, how can the imperial court let you repeat the mistakes of the past"!
Fang Congzhe's words were agreed by all Wen Cheng, at this moment, no matter which party it is, in the face of absolute interests, the enemy has become a comrade-in-arms! At this moment, the war in Liaodong has become less important. Everyone's spearhead was pointed at these nobles, and they accused them all over the place, and even scolded loudly: "Okay, you Zhang Weixian, this official is to see that the more you live, the more shameless you become, and beat you to death a bastard who brings disaster to the country and the people"!
Yan Yu stood up and rushed towards the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who was kneeling on the ground. Looking at his trembling appearance, it also makes people doubt whether he can hold on to his destination. These nobles are like hooligans and ruffians on weekdays, and they practice their skills every day when they have nothing to do. The temper is also very rushed, except for a few old princes, everyone else stood up, sneering and waiting for the enemy to attack!
