Chapter 5 It's all bad news

Meng Ying lays down the fishing net.

I waited for the net, but I didn't know if I could swallow the fish of Luchuan.

And when Mu Ang returned home, he was even more angry. Mu Ang said: "Meng Pifu, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces. ”

Liu Ying said: "Third master, you can't talk nonsense. After all, the Marquis of Baoding is a hero of the Jingjing. It is also respected by Beijing, and this idea is absolutely impossible. ”

Mu Ang sneered: "What is a famous general, but it is the remnants of the Han King." ”

Mu Ang was relied on by the Empress Dowager and stood on the side of Emperor Renzong. Naturally, he despised the side of the Han King. He suddenly had a thought, and said secretly: "Now in Yunnan, I can't beat Meng Ying, but in the capital, Meng Ying is not easy to say." ”

Meng Ying was abruptly promoted by the emperor.

It has already made many nobles dissatisfied.

Although they are all heroes of the Jingjing, the British Gong Zhang Fu is also a hero of the Jingnan, and Fang Zheng, who was trapped in the Luchuan battle and died, is also a hero of the Jingnan.

The position at the top of the hierarchy has always been limited.

At the beginning, the position of the Meng family had already been divided. Meng Ying was enabled again, and naturally someone was squeezed down.

Mu Ang thought with his toes, not everyone in the capital wanted Meng Ying to make a contribution. Meng Ying was supported by the emperor alone.

But since ancient times, the favor of the emperor has been quite unstable.

Mu Ang did what he did.

An impeachment paper was immediately written. There are also countless private letters, you must know that Mu Ang is also a person who has been stationed in Gao for several years in Beijing, and his connections may be wider than Meng Ying.

In particular, the Mu family belongs to the founding nobles, and now the founding nobles are in the same vein, although the second is withering. But not without latent forces.

The key to solving Meng Ying lies in Jingshi, not Yunnan.

It's just that it's hard to hide from people with such a big movement.

Soon, Wang Ji and King Xiang of Guizhou knew.

Wang Ji organized the transfer of a large army in Guizhou. But also the power of regulation. As for King Xiang, although he has the title of supervising the army, he has no power at all.

You can only enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Of course, King Xiang still has a little power.

That is the right to know.

Big and small affairs, whether King Xiang wants to know or not, Wang Ji sent someone to tell King Xiang.

The same is true of this one.

King Xiang saw Wang Ji's handwriting, standing in the middle of a mountain peak, standing with his hands in his hands, but saw countless peaks hidden in the fog, in the mountains of Guizhou, many mountain fog even at noon does not dissipate, is the Central Plains people said miasma.

The people of the Central Plains entered the range of the miasma, but they were going to get sick.

As a result, the miasma mountain and the various shades of green of the mountain formed the background color in front of King Xiang's eyes.

And a slender flow of people, looming in the mountains, because of the perspective, there is a feeling that the dragon is not seeing the end, blocked by the mountains

Partition.

Only at the foot of the mountain in front, King Xiang could see clearly.

A large number of soldiers and soldiers were three side by side, carrying packages on their backs and carrying firearms, under the command of the hundred households, marching in formation, and some of the foot soldiers carried a large number of vehicles in between, many of them were carriages, most of them were Dian horses, and wheelbarrows.

But orderly and methodical.

However, it seems that because the Guizhou Post Road is too narrow and the traffic capacity is limited, this team stretches for a long time, dozens of miles before and after, or even longer.

At least King Xiang couldn't see his head at a glance.

What a map of the march to Guizhou.

However, King Xiang didn't feel the picture in front of him at all. Because I watched too much.

King Xiang handed the letter in his hand to the chief manager behind him and said, "What do you think the Wang Bingbu means?" ”

I can't help but think about it.

He was in a place of suspicion, and he didn't know how many eyes were on him.

Every thing, even the most mundane things, had to go around in his head several times.

It was normal for Wang Ji to inform King Xiang of the news.

However, in his letters, Wang Ji revealed his own opinions.

That is, Wang Ji supported Meng Ying to attack Tengchong from the north road, step by step, and the army attacked together.

The chief steward said: "It's just to let His Highness settle down a little, he agrees with the Marquis of Baoding, then no one can refute the Marquis of Baoding's claim." ”

And Mu Ang wants to make a disturbance in Beijing. He was warning His Majesty not to get involved. ”

King Xiang smiled faintly and said: "Lone is such a person who doesn't know the severity, although the Marquis of Baoding is not on good terms with my family, but he is also a veteran of the rest of his life, and Mu Ang has a few talents." It's a pity that Mu Chun died early, and Mu Ying's sons almost defeated the Mu family. ”

King Xiang didn't know the specific situation in Yunnan, and he knew a lot about Meng Ying and Mu Ang.

Meng Ying is indeed a great general, and his achievements can be counted one by one, and Mu Ang. has a bit of backbone, but it's a pity that Mu Ang's talent in fighting is not even as good as his talent in poetry.

And the reputation of his poetry and writing was raised by the reputation of the Mu family.

King Xiang has also seen it, and he can't say how bad it is, but he can only say that it's mediocre

Even if nothing is clear, let King Xiang choose a side between Mu Ang and Meng Ying, King Xiang thought with his toes, and knew how to choose.

The chief manager said: "Before entering Luchuan, the prince only needs to wait. ”

King Xiang smiled lightly and said: "Since the Wang Bingbu supports the Marquis of Baoding, I want to communicate with the Marquis of Baoding in private, and it won't take long for the news of the disagreement between the two generals to reach Beijing, but I don't know what my eldest nephew will do?" ”

"There has been a lot of movement in Beijing lately."

King Xiang was right.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen was really a little anxious.

The year when Zhu Qizhen officially took over the power of the imperial court was an unusual year, the beginning of spring

, Zhu Qizhen received all the bad news.

Yang Rong and Huang Fu died one after another.

Zhu Qizhen went on for several days, so that he mourned.

He greatly admired Yang Rong and Huang Fu after his death, and even wanted to give Yang Rong an earl, and his descendants were hereditary in vain.

It was Yang Shiqi who dispelled Zhu Qizhen's idea.

First, this is a bit too heavy, although Yang Rong has contributed to the country, he did not participate in the Jingjing, and he did not have the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, which does not meet the criteria for knighthood.

Second, now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rise of civil officials as a whole. Jian'an Yang's family came out of Yang Rong, a proper scholarly family, a famous family. They don't necessarily want to be nobles.

But Zhu Qizhen, the posture has arrived.

Zhu Qizhen did this, because he felt guilty about Yang Rong. The second is to win over the people under Yang Rong and win people's hearts.

And Yang Rong's aftermath is not over here.

Huang Fu is okay, although the minister of Nanjing is important, he only needs to choose an old minister to guard it. And Yang Rong's position is even more important. This represents the breaking of the pattern of five auxiliary ministers set by Emperor Xuanzong.

Among the remaining four people, Zhang Fu is in charge of military affairs, but he will not extend his hand to the side of civilian officials, Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu are certainly administrative veterans, but they are old. Some of them are overwhelmed. Hu Hu is not young, although his spirit is good, but he can't afford such heavy government affairs.

So, the cabinet has been added. Imperative.

But who goes into the cabinet, who doesn't, and even fills a few?

It's all a big problem.

Xuanzong died, the Empress Dowager strongly suppressed the changes in the political arena, and maintained the political pattern from the late Xuande period to a few days.

Now that this pattern has been broken, I don't know how many people are competing for this position openly and secretly. They all know that the cabinet is old, and the person who fills in at this moment is likely to be the first assistant of the cabinet in a few years.

Among them, the dark tide is turbulent, which is enough for Zhu Qizhen to consume brain cells.

This kind of situation is the first time Zhu Qizhen has encountered it.

Immediately afterwards, another thing was that this year's disaster situation was initially revealed.

Last winter, the Lugou River construction had already begun. Tens of thousands of displaced people were recruited to work. But the winter of the fourth year of orthodoxy is a warm winter, and Qin Tianjian has already reported that this spring, there are likely to be large locusts.

The locust plague is directly related to last year's floods, which inundated fertile fields and formed large tidal flats after the waters receded in autumn. Then there is a warm winter, and locusts are the most suitable for laying eggs in such an environment.

And when the Lugou River was repaired, this was found in large quantities.

A spring locust plague is almost inevitable.

This is even the inevitability of the locust plague in ancient times, and locusts are easy to breed after the drought, and after the flood, it is easy to breed locusts. Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, locust plagues broke out once every 2.8 years on average, because of the continuous floods and droughts in ancient times.
