Chapter 93: Intended Purpose
Chapter 93 Intent
Sending people to quell the rebellion in the past, but it turned out to be a big party of four military camps, no, you have to add a brocade guard, wouldn't it make the world laugh when you say this?
Especially Jiajing's order was given by himself, and the transfer of tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital could not be quiet, if this matter spread, it was not Zhang Yang who was embarrassed now, but him, at this time, he would rather have the phenomenon of bombing the camp in his heart, after all, his face was more important than the lives of several soldiers.
Just when Jiajing lowered his head depressedly and thought hard, a minister stood up.
"Your Majesty, this Jinyi Wei and the other people from the other three battalions are too disagreeable, even if there is no bombing of the camp, the four leaders should come back as soon as possible to pay their respects instead of eating meat and drinking wine with that publicity, this is simply unseemly."
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's time for the Jinyi Guard and the Defense Battalion to be reorganized."
"They are the four major gateways of the capital, and it is really heart-wrenching to do so."
The first to speak was naturally the group of scholars from the Hanlin Academy, at this time the generals on the other side stopped doing it, if this matter was punished, it would also be punished by the people on their side, and they would be embarrassed when the time came, not to mention that these scholars of the Hanlin Academy who were studying were already higher than them, and they were unhappy, and at this time, they were even more down, how could they not resist?
Let's not talk about who is right and who is wrong in this matter, when the other party's spearhead sweeps over, their instinct is to protect their own interests.
"Your Majesty, at this time, you must not, think that the three battalions of soldiers totaling 10,000 people, urgently gather to go to Xiaoyangzhuang, it was still morning, it was almost evening, I didn't eat lunch, I ran all the way, and now I want to go back to the camp hungry, doesn't that mean that we are not close to people?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, this matter is actually very normal, so many people have worked all the way to the Jingxi Defense Battalion, as the host, it is reasonable to invite everyone to have a meal."
Seeing that the military attachés began to refute, a group of civil servants once again ridiculed each other.
"Adults, this cover-up is too obvious, isn't it? The matter of the bombing of the camp by the Jingxi Defense Battalion was put aside for the first time, and shouldn't the 10,000 people who went to the Jingxi Defense Battalion first surround the defense camp, find out the truth, control the scene, and come back in time to report the situation? ”
"That's right, even if they went to find out the truth and didn't bomb the camp, they had to get the emperor's permission to eat before they could leave, right? Tens of thousands of people drink wine and eat meat privately, what kind of system is this? ”
The military attachés retorted.
"Don't you think your words are too rigid? If the emperor had to approve even the matter of eating, wouldn't all the soldiers in the territory over there starve to death? ”
"That's it, it's just a matter of eating a meal, I think Zhang Yang did the right thing, and in this way, he also helped calm the dissatisfaction of those soldiers, he is thinking about the emperor."
The civilians retorted.
"Who is Zhang Yang? Everyone knew in their hearts that he was obviously trying to win people's hearts by doing this, and maybe the bombing of the camp was true. ”
"That's right, how much does it cost to invite 10,000 people to drink together? Why did he do this? Obviously there is a ghost in my heart. ”
The military attachés quit.
"Jinyiwei also followed, they are an independent department, is it possible that even their report is fake? It has already been said very clearly, and the Jingxi Defense Battalion did not bomb the battalion at all. ”
"You are questioning the emperor's ......"
Seeing that the two rows of people below began to point their noses and scold each other regardless of their image, Emperor Jiajing's already depressed mood was even worse.
"That's enough."
The court instantly fell silent, and they all looked at Emperor Jiajing.
Jiajing rubbed his forehead, looked at Yang Tinghe next to him, and found that Yang Tinghe not only calmed down his anger, but looked thoughtful and couldn't help but speak.
"Yang Zhongtang, how do you think this matter should be handled? Now that the operation of the army has probably caused a certain degree of panic in the capital, and now there is a situation where the three armies are drinking together, isn't this a joke? ”
Yang Tinghe sighed.
"Your Majesty, now this matter can only be rewarded and publicized."
As soon as Yang Tinghe's words came out, everyone in the court looked at Yang Tinghe in shock, this matter is all because of publicity, even if the Jingxi Defense Battalion didn't bomb the camp, you have to give him a warning or something, right?
Now not only do you not hold him accountable, but you also want to reward him? What is the rationale for this?
Emperor Jiajing also looked at Yang Tinghe with curiosity.
"Yang Zhongtang, please make it clear."
Yang Tinghe sighed again and faced the ministers.
"Everyone's words have some truth, but now is not the time to hold accountable, nor is it the time to draw a clear line, but we, as courtiers, should share the emperor's worries, this matter is indeed a misunderstanding, but it is an indisputable fact that we used tens of thousands of soldiers in the three battalions."
"If we want to solve the problem today, we have to think about three aspects."
"Now that winter is on, and the northern Tatars and Warats are frequently invading the frontier, now that we use three battalions of soldiers, it will definitely cause a great deal of panic."
"The soldiers of the third battalion not only did nothing when they arrived at the Jingxi Defense Battalion, but even drank with the people of the Jingxi Defense Battalion.
"We have been waiting for news in the court, and we have not been able to give the correct instructions in time.
Yang Tinghe didn't finish speaking, Emperor Jiajing's face was not very good-looking, this old guy didn't forget to beat himself in anything, one-third of the recitals on his table were from the north, didn't he know that the north had now entered a state of emergency preparedness? Still use him to remind?
"Yang Zhongtang, what does it have to do with rewarding Zhang Yang when you say these three points?"
Yang Tinghe turned around and continued.
"Your Majesty, if you want to solve the above three points and turn your worries into joy, you must reward Zhang Yang, we only need to send twenty teams from the imperial city to the Jingxi Defense Battalion, and loudly publicize the success of the exercise at this time, and then the panic of the people will disappear naturally, and the three armies drinking together can also be regarded as a celebration of the success of the exercise, since it is a celebration, why should we stop it?"
After Yang Tinghe finished speaking, Emperor Jiajing suddenly realized and was overjoyed.
And the officials of the court also instantly understood what Yang Tinghe meant, and nodded one after another.
If this is not a bombing of the camp but a drill, then this is not only not a bad thing, but it is clearly a happy event.
At this time, the ministers had to admire Yang Tinghe's ability to do things, and Jiang was still old and spicy.
If the matter can be solved in this way, Emperor Jiajing will naturally be unable to ask for it, and hurriedly raise his hand.
"Intended ......"
