Chapter 302: If you don't come to this court, don't come
Emperor Wanli is rarely praised, since the fifteenth year of Wanli, he has not even spoken to the ministers, let alone such rare words of praise for merit. Originally, it is understandable that some people get carried away after the victory. So for this emperor who showed his face, almost all the ministers gave enough face, all of them were smiling, and followed the emperor to play haha.
But in this good situation of joy and harmony between the monarchs and ministers, a piercing voice of opposition poured into the minds of everyone in the Taihe Hall along these ears.
"Your Majesty, it is not uncommon for the border army to lie about the military situation, how can a small Qianzong win more with less? The army of the imperial court can't help Jiannu, so how can the killing army make such an immortal achievement? Weichen thought that the emperor couldn't listen to Chen Junde's words, if he put himself on his own, he would be laughing and generous at that time"!
Emperor Wanli's face was somewhat embarrassed, as soon as he praised Chen Junde on his side, this person stood up and poured cold water on himself, and it was normal for him to be unhappy. After pondering for a long time, Emperor Wanli tightly grasped the jade Ruyi in his hand, and then asked without distemper: "What do you mean?"
This person didn't raise his head, and he didn't care about Emperor Wanli's attitude of not even calling Aiqing, but still bowed down without flinching and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen is also for the court law." At the beginning, the emperor also sent the prison army, and if there was a big victory, the prison army would definitely report to the emperor. As long as there is a copy of the prison army, this matter should be confirmed"!
Emperor Wanli pointed forward with the jade in his hand, and Fang Congzhe, a college student who received the emperor's signal, took the good news and said: "The prison commander Zhang Renshou unfortunately sacrificed his life for the country in the battle of Kaiyuan City, and Chen Junde has already written it in the chapter"!
"Oh, how can it be such a coincidence"?
"How can it be said that it is a coincidence, war is not a child's play"!
Fang Congzhe raised his face slightly, the beard on his chin trembled uncontrollably, and continued: "The killing army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, whose life is not life, as long as he Zhang Renshou is expensive, Jiannu's sword has to avoid him?"
Fang Congzhe was a little impatient after seeing him stand up, this person is Yao Zongwen in the Zhejiang Party, every time there is a fight, he charges forward bravely, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal, it is very difficult, and he is the vanguard of the Zhejiang Party.
Looking at Yao Zongwen's disbelieving eyes, Fang Congzhe couldn't help but sneer in his heart: The last time the party won a big victory in the Zhejiang party, it seems that he was carried away by the victory. Although this Chen Junde is Xiong Tingbi's student, that Xiong Feibai has a straightforward temperament, refuses to quote, and does not show favoritism, even their Donglin Party itself does not want to see him, why are you jumping out to target Chen Junde in a hurry. Don't look at the attitude of the saints, just don't shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes!
Yao Zongwen could hear that Fang Congzhe's words were thorny, but he was also a weathered court general, so he would not take this cynicism to heart. Instead, he said to Emperor Wanli on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, this matter is quite strange, and you have won this great victory but lost the prison army. At the moment, there is no one to prove the authenticity, and it is necessary to guard against the fact that the stragglers who killed a few Jiannu and pretended to be military merits, and the saint will send someone to verify this matter before making a decision!"
Emperor Wanli closed his eyes slightly and fiddled with the jade Ruyi in his hand, as if he could knead something out, and then asked softly: "Does everyone else think so?"
If someone jumps out, how can their own people not wave their flags and shout? Zhang Xiude, who is also the imperial historian of the Zhejiang Party, hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "The laws of the imperial court must be strict, and the majesty of the saint cannot be lost!" Weichen thinks that Lord Yao's words are very reasonable, and the imperial court should send someone to Liao immediately, which can not only reflect the saint's love for soldiers, but also distinguish whether this so-called Kaiyuan victory is true"!
Shooting must be continuous to be effective, and these ministers have the essence of firearms. As soon as Zhang Xiude's words fell, Yu Shi Gu Yu here also started a fire.
"On the sage, Weichen heard that although Chen Junde was a lifter, he didn't take the test later, but he fell into the grass and did a good period of business. And according to Weichen's understanding, a big brawl between bandits broke out in Liaodong last year. Completely ignoring the imperial court, the entire Liaodong suffered countless casualties and rivers of blood! And the initiator is Chen Junde, the commander of the murder army, how can he easily believe the words of such a vicious bandit? The military and political affairs of Liaodong are all controlled by Liaodong, and it is a dereliction of duty to have no book for such a big matter! Your Majesty, sending people to inspect the military and political affairs of Liaodong this time is really a strategy of killing three birds with one stone"!
"The minister seconded the proposal, don't treat it lightly"!
"You can also issue an order to Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo and let him explain the situation"!
"Military affairs involve the whole body, the emperor should be cautious, and the minister seconded the proposal"!
"Ministers seconded ......"!
After you sing, I will appear, and in the blink of an eye, it will become a stage for the performance of the Zhejiang Party. Fang Congzhe looked at these royal historians who were like clowns jumping off beams, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart, and he could see the doorway at a glance after being immersed in the sea for many years. It seems that the drunkards of the Zhejiang Party do not mean to drink, and pulling down Xiong Tingbi is their ultimate goal.
Immediately, Fang Congzhe looked at the reaction of the Donglin Party again, and it was silent! nodded without a trace, and secretly praised in his heart: This is wise, not fighting is fighting, even if the Zhejiang Party can really make Xiong Tingbi ruined, but this Liaodong land is not the foothold of the Zhejiang Party.
The people who stand up above the court are some small fish and shrimp of the Zhejiang Party, and the real bigwigs are still waiting, this is just a tentative move, as long as the emperor is soft-mouthed, they will stand up and attack. At that time, it will be a poor dagger, and it will not die.
Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not immediately express his position, which was to further encourage the arrogance of people with ulterior motives. Just when the big guy was criticizing Chen Junde, a eunuch outside the gate of the Taihe Hall hurriedly walked in, both civil and military classes closed their mouths, looked at the eunuch kneeling in the center of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Feng Zhengwei, the head of the military department, is waiting outside the hall, and he has come to restore his life"!
It's finally here, Emperor Wanli was very proud when he heard this, I want to see the evidence, what else can you sour Confucians say.
"Xuan"!
Looking at Feng Zhengwei, who was hurrying over, Emperor Wanli raised his head and asked in a slightly meaningful tone: "Feng Aiqing came at the right time, and there was a lot of quarrel in the court, and they all had objections to the victory of Kaiyuan. I want to ask you, have you done your business?"
When Feng Zhengwei heard this, he hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said to Weichen: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has been ordered to complete the investigation, with a total of 2,865 heads. Although there is a discrepancy between the number of Jiannu heads and the number of good news, the captives are mainly firearms, and many of their heads have been broken, so this is also reasonable. Therefore, the great victory of Kaiyuan is true, and it is the most brilliant result achieved since the establishment of slaves and the chaos in Liaodong"!
The sound of "boom" was like a bomb being thrown into a lake, suddenly stirring up a huge splash. This made those officials who questioned Kaiyuan's victory like a fish in their throats, who knew that this hairy boy was so fast.
Just when Emperor Wanli thought that they had no words, Yao Zongwen said in the same tone: "Your Majesty, before there is no confirmation from Liaodong Jinglu, this cannot be true!" In fact, this is also a common trick used by the border army, killing ordinary people to shave their heads and pretend to be Jiannu, so as to deceive the imperial court"!
"Yes, yes"!
"Your Majesty, Weichen still thinks it's appropriate to send someone to check it out"!
The court, which should be solemn, is now chaotic like a street market. Seeing this scene, the great bachelor Fang Congzhe was about to speak, but suddenly heard a sneer. When he turned around and saw the smile on the dragon chair, his eyes were about to pop out, and the city government that he had cultivated as an official for many years was instantly thrown out of the clouds. Because he clearly remembered that when this smile was revealed, Zhang Juzheng's family ended up starving to death!
"Hahaha"!
Emperor Wanli suddenly laughed at this moment, looking at the surprised ministers below who had completely lost the majesty of the emperor. After laughing for a while, Emperor Wanli suddenly stood up, pointed at those ministers and shouted angrily: "I know that you people will be like this, no matter what, as long as you think it is unreasonable and against your will, you will do everything you can to slander and slander, and destroy everything by all means!" It's ridiculous, it was then, and it's still the same! Chen Junde sent people to send their heads to the capital, and you still say so! Heaven is a good general and the Son of Heaven, how can I alienate him because of you villains? The battle of Kaiyuan raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, immediately passed the decree to Liaodong, named Chen Junde as the general of Mingwei, gave the scroll, and awarded the loyalty to Yibo! If he is not summoned to Beijing first, the war in Liaodong is undecided at present, and Chen Junde, the general of Mingwei, will still fight for the country. The battle plan in his notebook was immediately arranged by the cabinet and the military department, and this matter ended here! If anyone disagrees, I will dismiss him; If anyone dares to obstruct him, I will punish him of the Nine Clans!"
The ministers also understood the reason why Emperor Wanli was suddenly angry, that is, because of the dispute over the country, the emperor was using the topic to play, and the new account and the old account had to be counted together, and it seemed that the emperor was also holding his breath at this court meeting. They believe that there have been no new officials in the court to fill the vacancies for so many years, and the major affairs of the court and politics are really nothing in the eyes of this person. It's hard to say about the Nine Clans, it's a bit intimidating.
But this is an unprecedented thing to go from the thousand total of the sixth grade to the general Mingwei of the fourth grade in one fell swoop, and he has been promoted to four levels in a row! and then knighted, it is even more like a fantasy. Yao Zhongwen, who was dissatisfied with this, was about to speak, but was stopped by the eyes of one person, and the entire court was suddenly silent.
Emperor Wanli stood up and snorted lightly at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground: "Spread the decree to the Jinyi Guard, and I will bring the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty to the military department in a while, so that I can see the heads of the people one by one, and the soldiers of the killing army will shed blood and sacrifice in Liaodong, but the villains of the Manchu Dynasty will turn a blind eye." Hmph, such a court, if you don't come, retreat from the court"!
After saying that, Emperor Wanli left the Taihe Hall with the support of the eunuch Wang An, Yao Zongwen muttered unwillingly: "The stakes are very high, this matter must not be left like this"!
