Chapter 38: Ye Xianggao resigned
Ye Xianggao, the head of the cabinet, has been like an ant on a hot pot these days, whether he is talking about the feast day or staying at home, he feels flustered in his heart, and he can't stand or sit.
On this day, Ye Xianggao was having dinner with his wife Xu and more than a dozen children, and the maid served a plate of sour rabbit silk, which smelled and made people have a great appetite.
Several children were very happy to eat, Xu Shi served him a dish, and asked in surprise: "Master, what happened to you in the last few days?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Xianggao put down his chopsticks, causing the men and women around him to look sideways, only to hear him sigh and say:
"The last time I entered the palace to face the saint, now I am angry, I, the first assistant, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for long."
Now Ye Xianggao really wants to leave Beijing, the land of right and wrong, at the age of seventy or eighty, he actually entered the court again and became the first assistant.
Now that I think about it, it's good to be a rich man in my hometown all the time.
"Today's emperor is just a child's heart, at the age of sixteen, maybe his anger has disappeared by now, and the lord doesn't have to worry too much." Xu reassured.
"Well, remember to do your homework after eating." After Ye Xianggao finished speaking, he took a mouthful of sour rabbit silk and put it in his mouth.
Seeing him move his chopsticks, the children around him who were hungry for a long time started to move again.
"Master, Gao Yushi is here." It didn't take long for the butler to come in.
Hearing this, Ye Xianggao sighed again, put down his chopsticks and said quietly: "I can't hide after all, so tell him to wait for me in the main hall." ”
"Yes, sir."
Not long after, Ye Xianggao and Gao Panlong met in the main hall, and the latter went straight to the point and said urgently:
"Old Ye, what did you say to the Holy Emperor last time?"
Seeing that Ye Xianggao didn't say anything for a long time, he urged again: "The big guy has waited for a few days, why haven't you seen the emperor's will to recall Yang Gong?" ”
Ye Xianggao instructed the housekeeper to serve two cups of tea, and said unhurriedly: "Yang Gong, you can't come back." ”
Hearing this, Gao Panlong was even more surprised, got up and said, "Now at this time, how can Ye Lao still have the heart to drink tea?" ”
"Yang Gong, a loyal and upright person of the country, was sent home because of the eunuch's deceptive words, how can there be such a reason in the world?"
"Why don't we join forces in the palace and seek justice for the world's scholars!"
"If you don't drink, I'll drink." Ye Xianggao smiled, no matter how anxious Gao Panlong was, he was also as immobile as a mountain, and after quietly tasting tea, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The emperor's intention is that Dongchang and Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and Dongchang will deal with this matter together, so you don't want to get involved."
"Dongchang is involved in this?" Gao Panlong looked surprised and said indignantly: "Let those gelding dogs participate, can Yang Gong come back?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Xianggao glanced at this side coldly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "Yang Lian can't come back." ”
"Sooner or later, my old bones will be torn apart by you!"
After that, Ye Xianggao left trembling step by step in Gao Panlong's stunned gaze, no matter how he shouted, he didn't look back.
Yang Lian left so inexplicably, even if Donglin of the Manchu Dynasty made such a big move, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of recalling.
And after Gao Panlong went to Ye Mansion to talk to Ye Xianggao once, he never mentioned the matter of recalling Yang Lian.
A few days later, the first assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, took the initiative to resign.
......
Looking at the resignation in front of him in the warm pavilion, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said, "Call back!" ”
"Wang Tiqian, tell Wei Zhongxian that if Ye Xianggao has any more resignations, he will call me back!"
Zhu Youxiao knew that Ye Xianggao underestimated the "ability" of his Donglin Party members, and also underestimated the power of his sixteen-year-old boy.
Now he was afraid of getting fishy, and wanted to get away.
Ye Xianggao resigned, the Donglin Party reacted the most, and they all retained, while the eunuchs gloated, and Wei Zhongxian pretended to visit in person.
As for Zhu Youxiao, it is even more impossible to let him go directly.
Didn't you dream of being the first assistant to the cabinet? Why, I can't play anymore and want to leave? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!
Lecture on the day of the feast? As usual, and you have to come every day!
Malinger? I sent the doctor from the Tai Hospital to your home to take care of you 24 hours a day, and if you don't come, you have to come!
I don't want to hear what you have to say, I just want to use you to make the Donglin Party of the Manchu Dynasty uncomfortable, and when they are uncomfortable, I am happy!
If Donglin is not completely divided, this matter will not be over!
"Emperor, General Qi has practiced martial arts in the inner school, and the Yongwei Battalion should be almost organized and trained." Wei Zhongxian rushed over.
Zhu Youxiao snorted, and then asked, "Last month, I asked you to find out if there was anything dirty in this harem, and how did you do it?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said with a sneer: "The emperor can rest assured, the slaves and maids have already replaced Xi Li's selection of attendants, Zheng Guifei's private eunuchs, and close attendants. ”
"There are also attendants who come in and out, the palace people who guard the gates of each palace, and the slaves and maids have also been replaced by royal henchmen."
"Well, if something happens, you know what will happen to you!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, relieved a lot, got up and said:
"I want to see the heroic posture of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
After speaking, Zhu Youxiao jumped off the imperial case and went to the Winter Nuan Pavilion to change the imperial uniform accompanied by Wei Zhongxian.
......
The school field in the Forbidden City is the time when the flags are unfurled and the dust is flying.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
With neat shouts, about 1,000 cavalrymen of the Yongwei Battalion were galloping in the racecourse.
Wearing shiny new swallow-wing helmets on their heads, they were draped in crimson armor and armed with steel knives, and rushed over to slash the straw men in Jiannu armor to pieces.
"The Ming Dynasty will win, and the dog slave will be destroyed!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
After that, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Qi family army armed with spears marched forward step by step, and flexibly changed into various formations under the instructions of the standard-bearer above.
On the stage, Qi Jin was dressed in red, carrying the Qi family's war knife at his waist, looking at the scene of smoke and dust in front of him, and nodding constantly.
In his opinion, these hours of training have made these soldiers who are not weak in their foundation have begun to have combat ability.
What was needed now was fine armor and ordnance, and advanced and high-quality muskets and artillery, and with these, he was confident that he would defeat 20,000 enemy troops with these 6,000 men!
"The emperor has arrived!" At this time, Huang Degong, who was selected as a personal guard on the side, suddenly shouted out in a loud voice.
Qi Jin was taken aback when he heard this, the emperor actually came!?
He hurriedly turned his head and saw Zhu Youxiao, who was accompanied by Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, Li Chaoqing and others, dressed in a bright yellow military uniform, and was stunned as he looked at the ongoing martial arts performance in the inner school field.
"If the minister fails to come out in time to greet him, the emperor forgives the sin!" Qi Jin half-knelt on the ground, terrified.
"Hurry up!" Zhu Youxiao glanced at it casually, and suddenly felt that his blood was boiling, and when he saw this, he quickly helped him up, and laughed:
"From this point of view, Aiqing's training is quite effective!"
Qi Jin nodded and said: "Of the more than 6,000 horses, the minister divided 3,500 people into infantry battalions, 1,100 people into left and right flank cavalry battalions, and then 2,000 people as firearms and baggage battalions. ”
"This is the second day of martial arts, but Kechen is still worried..."
"General Qi can just say what difficulties there are, the emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, and he will be satisfied with you." Wei Zhongxian said a good word on the side.
can make Wei Zhongxian say good things, this Qi Jin must have been in contact with the eunuch in private, but Zhu Youxiao was not angry.
Qi Jin did this, which shows that he is not a reckless man.
is really like Xiong Tingbi, who doesn't know what self-protection is at all, and doesn't give anyone face at all, Zhu Youxiao is a headache.
"Oh? Aiqing has no concerns, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and Lang Lang smiled.
