Jingshi Lin'an Mansion

Located in the left room of the Forbidden Middle School Political Affairs Hall, Chen Yizhong unfolded a note by the candlelight on the couch table, and the stroke on the chapter was square and meticulous, and he could see at a glance that this was not written by a staff member, but by Ye Mengding, who was in his seventies!

This is a guy who is older than Jia Yidao's qualifications, he has seen with his own eyes that the powerful and opposition-leaning Jia Taishi gritted his teeth at this person but was helpless, and in the end he begged to go, so that Jia was in charge of the government for so many years, an old fox who knew how to advance and retreat and was deep-rooted, was the most undesirable opponent in Chen Yi.

However, the document of several hundred words, except for those clichés, read it several times, and Chen Yizhong did not see any other intentions, except for the last sentence of understatement to promote a certain small commander to be the commander of the Qiongzhou Navy and Army.

Writing such a thing seriously, just to protect a junior officer who is not even a middle-level officer, that Ye Shaobao originally intended this? Chen Yizhong would never believe it.

"Where did this person come from, and can the Senate of the Privy Court have a result? What did the military department say? ”

Chen Yizhong, who was a little puzzled, put down the chapter and asked, sitting under him was Wu Jian, a member of the Privy Council who sent this document, hearing him ask, Wu Jian's face showed a thoughtful look, how could he have an impression of this grade of a small officer.

Song system, the selection of military ministers is under the responsibility of the three classes and the West Court of judges, after arriving in Nandu, the military department also shared some responsibilities, roughly, the military ministers below the fifth grade, the military department also has the right to dispose of it, and this is almost in it.

"I went to check after receiving the documents, this person is from Jiading Mansion, he was stationed in Pengpu before, and he was transferred to inspect the capital after the opening of Qiongzhou, as for how he got on Ye Shaobao, I don't know, but the matter involves the south, so I will go by myself, so I can go to Chen Xiang here to ask for an idea."

Tongzhi Privy Council, also one of the rulers, the other party's minister is only half a level higher than himself, so he can't call himself up, "subordinate" or "lower official" Wu Jian, so there is a suspicion of flattery, so he just uses an honorific title when calling the other party to show his respect.

And these twists and turns, Chen Yizhong didn't feel it at this time, and he frowned even more after hearing it, could it be that he was a snake shadow? The old fox was really just a military commander with a cronies.

Rejected? Of course it can't be, this little thing is not even an unspoken rule, and what he is angry about is that if it is really such a thing, what can he do? He had to play a concert, as if he saw the smiling face of some treacherous scheming in the distance.

"Chen Xiang, in Yi's opinion, Ye Shaobao's book has the intention of reminding the imperial court."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Wu Jian's words made Chen Yizhong raise his head, he handed over the paperwork in his hand, and pushed the candlestick that was originally leaning on his side to Wu Jian's side.

"Chen Xiang, the matter of Quanzhou is still under our control, in fact, even Pingzhang and Liuxiang don't know, whether they want to use the knife soldiers, and what step to move? Everything has to wait for Chen Junben's reply, but if everything is true, it will be too late, so I have already made arrangements and ordered Jin Ming and others to go to Guangzhou, and these, Chen Xiang thinks? Ye Shaobao didn't know. ”

"He?"

Chen Yizhong shook suddenly, Wu Jian was right, Ye Mengding must know, Quanzhou is a seaport, and the Pu family is a maritime merchant, if you want to quell the rebellion, you can't get around the commander of the sea division who holds the sea power of the Great Song Dynasty, thinking of this, his eyes looked at Wu Jian, and both of them nodded slowly.

Ye Mengding not only knows, but has already moved, he doesn't need to make any excuses at all, theoretically speaking, the coast is under his jurisdiction, and all dispatches are within the scope of authority, and now, naturally a formal name is needed, and the imperial court must endorse it.

"In this matter, let's press it first."

After a while, Chen Yizhong said softly, Wu Jian nodded, put the paperwork in the envelope, and put it in his sleeve.

Indeed, as Chen Yizhong said, it can't be stabbed up yet, and it is necessary to wait for Chen Junben, who is the palindrome of Chen Yushi, who was secretly inspected by the edict, to implement everything, so that things can be made clear.

"When did this arrive?"

Wang Entropy's voice was a little weak, like the feeling of recovering from a serious illness, almost in the main hall of the political affairs hall across the wall, he hurried from the mansion and asked in a loud voice.

"I just arrived, the city gate has been locked, I heard that it was six hundred miles from the south to expedite, the guard did not dare to slack off, reported to Lin'an Mansion, Jia Xuan Weng sent someone to my house, he personally went to the city gate to pick up the people, and then sent directly to the forbidden middle, I only arrived a moment earlier than Pingzhang."

Liu Mengyan's breathing was a little uncertain, I don't know if he was surprised by the content, or tired from running all the way, but at this moment, the two ministers have the same thoughts, something really happened.

To tell the truth, although the imperial history was dispatched, but in their hearts, they didn't believe that there would really be a rebellion, not to mention that it was in the mainland, and now that the court and the Yuan people had made peace, and the war was stopped. But who would have thought that someone would be looking for this death.

Wang Entropy read the letter carefully, Chen Wenlong is the champion, and the text is naturally good, but on this paper, Wang Entropy can clearly see something else, some fonts are slightly messy, and the words and sentences are not modified, and there are even one or two mistakes and omissions, if you are not anxious, how can it be so? You must know that from Beijing to Fuzhou, it is more than 1,300 miles, and looking at the date on it, it only took a little more than two days to send it over.

"Hanfu, the matter has come to this point, and it is time to make a decision."

Liu Mengyan was surprised to find that Wang Entropy, who was still old and weak, suddenly lifted his spirits, his face was flushed, his eyes were blazing, his words were firm and powerful, and he faintly had a bad feeling.

"What does Pingzhang mean?"

"Well, call the people from the same mansion as Chen and Quan, and enter the palace to face the saint together."

"But at this point, the saint is afraid that he has stopped."

Liumengyan looked at the sky outside the hall with a difficult face.

"I can't care about that much, Da Song can't rest."

Hearing Wang Entropy's words, Liu Mengyan did not stop him anymore, the matter involved rebellion, and he had to let the king know at any time, this is an iron law, he nodded, and prepared to stay to find someone.

"Hanfu, this matter must be kept secret."

"Pingzhang rest assured, the person who sent the letter has been guarded and will not let anyone contact him, several people in the know have said hello, and the matter is under control."

Liu Mengyan didn't call someone to help him put on his boots, there were just the two of them in the entire room, for this caution, Wang Entropy smiled and expressed his approval, he had to say one more thing, everything has just begun, and before there is no result, spreading it will only disturb people's hearts.

Fortunately, I had already noticed it before, and made some arrangements, but it was not a panic, how to deal with it already had a charter, and told the sage that it was just a court regulation, which could not be hidden.

Half an hour later, in the Ciyuan Palace, a Pingzhang, two ministers, and two prime ministers, all the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty were all in place, just waiting for the queen mother of the Linzhao dynasty to arrive.

There is no need to hang the curtain in her own hall, Xie Shi slowly walked to the seat in the center in a big suit, she had just slept peacefully and had not fallen asleep, so she seemed to be in good spirits.

"It's all here, tell me, what's going on?"

After everyone below finished saluting, Xie Shi looked at them one by one, and she couldn't see much on the faces of these old oilers, and she didn't bother to bother, so she asked directly.

"Enlightened saints, asking to see you at night, it's really an urgent matter, and I have to hope for forgiveness like this."

Hearing Wang Entropy's accusation, Xie Shi looked at him without saying a word, waiting for his next step.

"This is the six-hundred-mile rush I just received, please ask the saint to take a look at it first."

Wang Entropy handed Chen Wenlong's recital to the female official, and Xie Shi sensitively found that what he said was "Yulan", that is, if you want to see it yourself, what will be kept secret like this?

There are two pages in total, and after reading the first page, Xie's expression became solemn, she waved her hand, and the female official immediately drove out all the idle people in the hall, and she herself was the last, and took the temple door by the way.

"What a bold thief!"

After reading the book, Xie Shi's face already had irrepressible anger, and he slapped his palm on the bookcase, colluding with pirates to kill court officials is already a capital crime of extermination, and now he actually incited the defenders to rebel in the city! That's the land of a state, who gave them the guts.

"The saint is angry, the ministers and others are also responsible for this matter, can the saint remember the rebellion of the forbidden army and the fire attack in February?"

"Well, does it have something to do with that?"

"The commander of the forbidden army stationed in Quanzhou is Han Zhen's party, but unfortunately, the court has not known until now that it is the dereliction of duty of the ministers, and the ministers are here to ask for punishment."

For this gesture, Xie Shi waved her hand indifferently, what she cares about now is not to hold accountable, but to make such a big mess, how to clean it up?

The court finally reached a peace agreement with the Yuan people, and it has not been quiet for two days, and there has been such a thing for a while, it is false to say that it is not annoying, but the matter has already happened, and no matter what, it will be calmed down, and to calm down this matter, it is natural to rely on these people in the palace.

"Now that the matter has come to this, do you have a good plan?"

"Chen Xianggong knows a lot about this matter, and the power, why don't you talk about it."

The matter was mentioned by Chen Yizhong, he was in charge of military affairs, and in the end, it would naturally fall to his side, and of course Wang Entropy could only push him out. Hearing this, Chen Yizhong was prepared, stepped forward unhurriedly, and arched his hand towards it.

"So that the saint may know that the minister did know that as early as a month ago, there was news from Qionghai that a thief had attacked the state capital and killed the new boss, and that time he entered Beijing with the news, and that he had also captured a witness, and according to this person's confession, all this was planned by the Pu family, who lived in Quanzhou, for which they even attacked the officers and soldiers escorting the prisoner car on the outskirts of Beijing, and their traces had already been revealed."

Speaking of this, Chen Yizhong paused for a moment so that Xie could digest what he said, this matter did not go up to the recital, so it was the first time Xie had heard it.

"Then, in order to avoid mistakes and omissions, the princes decided to send a courtier south to find out, which is the origin of Chen Wenlong's book in the hands of the sage, and second, Xingwen Quanzhou ordered the official to defend himself, and now it seems that this defense book is naturally a bunch of nonsense."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Sage, at the same time as Chen Wenlong went south, the ministers and others formulated an emergency plan to set up a governor's office in Guangzhou, if there is nothing to do, it is fine, once there is something, it can be turned into a counterinsurgency on the spot, and now the officer should be on the way, and he will arrive in a few days."

Speaking of this, Chen Yizhong was a little helpless, this Jin Ming, when he was in Beijing, he was reluctant, and when he walked, he just walked by water, and he also carried some kabuki with the boat, he really had the demeanor of Jia Taishi, can such a person take on a heavy responsibility? But now how dare he say it.

"Is that the Jinming?"

Xie Shi is not confused, she still knows the name Jin Ming, because this person is also a hero of the battle of Jiankang, and his name has appeared in front of her several times.

"The saint has a good memory, and this is it."

"How many traitors are there, and how many Jin Ming has brought, can he put down the rebellion in one fell swoop?"

Xie Shi asked the key point, although she is a woman, such common sense still knows, fighting a war depends on the army, and the size of the army is very important, Chen Yizhong heard this question, and couldn't help but turn around and glance at the two pivots.

"Well, the sage knows that there are not many soldiers in the Beijing Division, and a lot of them have been transferred in the previous war, but now they are irretrievable, so the ministers and others have thought of a way. Jin Ming went to Guangzhou here, and had the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, and he could mobilize troops from various nearby roads, Guangnan West Road, East Road, and Fujian Road, and there were about 50,000 registered soldiers on the three roads, and there should be tens of thousands of thieves in Quanzhou. In addition, the ministers also intended to act as a secretary of the sea and mobilize a naval army to attack from the sea to help. ”

"It sounds like you're thoughtful, but according to what you said, the capital has no soldiers, so it's not a long-term strategy."

When Xie heard Chen Yizhong's words, there were only 10,000 thieves in the rebellion, and there were a lot of people on his side, so he was a little relieved and turned to care about the things around him.

"The sage is extremely worried, and the ministers also think it is inappropriate, but now among the three officials of the Beijing Division, the head of the front division of the palace has been appointed to the local area, and among the two divisions of the guards and the army, the commander of the horse division, Jin Ming, is out of Beijing, and only one step division is left to command Su Liuyi in Beijing. If it is to be rectified, the ministers and others propose that he temporarily take the post of deputy commander of the front division of the palace, and take charge of the important affairs of the department, first sort out the various armies in the battalion carefully, eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and recruit those who are insufficient or dispatch them elsewhere, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the army. ”

"What Chen Xianggong said, what do you think?"

After listening to Chen Yizhong's remarks, Xie Shi did not nod immediately, but turned to Wang Entropy and Liu Mengyan's side, she didn't understand this kind of thing, so she naturally had to find someone else to corroborate, Liu Mengyan secretly glanced at Wang Entropy, and saw that he didn't want to speak, so he took a step forward.

"What Chen Xiang said, naturally it is not bad, but now the treasury is empty, the wealth is insufficient, and it is okay to eliminate the weak and retain the strong.

Liu Mengyan's words made Xie Shi silent, she knew that this was the truth, the imperial court had no money, and recruiting soldiers required a lot of money, these people couldn't change it, and she was the same.

"What the prime minister said is very true, but the minister does not want to use the state funds, the rebellion in Quanzhou, most of the people implicated are large maritime merchants, according to the law family property and no children exile, it goes without saying, if you can allocate one or two, the funds for recruiting troops will be available, so isn't it both?"

"This"

Chen Yizhong slowly said his plan, even Liu Mengyan, who was known to be in a hurry, didn't expect it, and Wang Entropy was silent on the side, as if he had noticed his plan early on.

"If there is a good policy, let's act accordingly, there is no morning tomorrow, what is the proposal, you will be sent to the palace when it is agreed, it is too late today, go out of the palace early and rest."

Xie Shi's concluding speech ended the court meeting, this result was more perfect than Chen Yizhong expected in advance, he was not dissatisfied, Wang Liu's two knew that the opportunity was not in their hands, and they did not quarrel more, but let Chen Yizhong easily launch a strong contender for the palace marshal, this is a thing worth paying attention to, because anyone who is alone must first be in charge of the forbidden army, Han Yanxuan is like this, Jia Yidao is the same, he Chen Yizhong is so thoughtful, what do you want to do?

The two of them watched the backs of Chen Yi and others gradually move away, Wang Entropy's heart swelled with fatigue, civil strife is about to rise, and there are endless disputes in the court, even if the Great Song Dynasty has escaped this catastrophe, where is the way out?

"The wind is blowing, Pingzhang, I'll give you a ride."

Liu Mengyan helped Wang Entropy to walk down the steps slowly, a thunder exploded in the air, the wind blew a heat wave, and the showers were about to fall, which was a common thing in the summer in the south of the Yangtze River, but this would seem to be a little unusual.
