Chapter 134: Black and White Upside Down

When Fang Guoan retreated, he did not forget to bring the money and goods of the twenty ships and more than 10,000 troops.

In order to give him the act of abandoning Hangzhou City and retreating without sending a single shot, and smear a more beautiful appearance, Fang Guoan's choice was to smear and trample on Wu Zheng.

Naturally, Wu Zheng had killed the general banner under his command and provoked disputes, which became the best choice for impeachment.

Fang Guoan impeached Wu Zheng in the court like this, "Your Highness, Wu Zheng of Lianghu Thousand Households, for his own selfishness, killed the general banner under my command on the street and in full view of everyone, which made our army very confused. The minister was so humiliated by a small and thousands of households, if it weren't for the minister's generosity and consideration of the current situation, how could he be let go so easily? Today, the minister asks His Royal Highness to give an explanation to the minister and the tens of thousands of soldiers under the minister's command to pay respect. ”

Zhu Yihai was originally overjoyed, and the recovery of Hangzhou made his reputation skyrocketing in an instant.

In the past two days, many idle officials and squires from various counties have heard the news and have expressed their intention to fund their counterattack on Suzhou and Yingtianfu.

More than 1,000 people have volunteered to join the army.

Once the news of the recovery of Hangzhou City spreads to the south, more people will come to join the service.

is the "imperial uncle" Emperor Longwu in the south, I'm afraid he will have to give himself three points of face at this time.

Zhu Yihai has even begun to fantasize about crossing the Yangtze River and recovering Nanjing.

But Fang Guoan's unauthorized retreat made Zhu Yihai very angry.

He was not a fool, he could guess with his knees that Fang Guoan's retreat was definitely not because he killed a mere general flag.

Fang Guoan was more acting at this time, shirking responsibility.

But Zhu Yihai understands that at this time, Fang Guoan's importance is far greater than Wu Zheng's.

In the first battle of Hangzhou, although Fang Guoan's casualties were also three or four thousand (concentrated at the beginning of the siege, caused by the stubborn resistance of the Tartars in Yongjinmen), more than 10,000 troops surrendered, so that Fang Guoan's strength did not decrease but increased.

With the great military exploits of recovering Hangzhou, Zhu Yihai will definitely not be able to refute Fang Guoan.

Therefore, Zhu Yihai endured the discomfort in his heart and said: "Yue Guogong has worked hard and made great contributions, and the merit is in the community, and Gu Li should be the master of Yue Guogong." It's just that Wu Zheng is still on the other side of the river, if he doesn't wait for him to return to Shaoxing Mansion and then deal with it, I don't know what will happen to the public will of Yue Guo? ”

Zhu Yihai has indeed given Fang Guoan a face, which is already a very good step.

Not only did he not mention the crime of Fang Guoan's unauthorized retreat, but he also followed Fang Guoan's intentions and convicted Wu Zheng in disguise, but how to punish it must be delayed until Wu Zheng returned to Shaoxing.

In fact, at this time, everyone in the court has affirmed that Wu Zheng will lead the army back to Shaoxing Mansion in the near future.

Because of the retreat of the Fang State Security Army, there were only less than 3,000 Wu Zheng troops in Hangzhou.

Even if you add 10,000 troops, to fight against Duoduo's 60,000 army, this is probably a fool's dream.

Fang Guoan disagreed, he thought that if he didn't die, he would be counterattacked.

In Hangzhou City, he had already turned against Wu Zheng, and now that Wu Zheng was not there, he had to be trampled to death to avoid more complications.

Fang Guoan gave up his hand, but said with a hideous face: "Your Highness, Wu Zheng has always been arrogant and domineering, ignoring the king and Shangguan, and framed the ministers for collaborating with the enemy before, but now the ministers are leading their troops to fight bloody battles and recover Hangzhou City. This time, Wu Zheng was so arrogant that he killed the general banner under the command of his father, which was unbearable, and asked His Royal Highness to give me justice to tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Several officials close to Fang Guoan immediately chimed in.

Zhu Yihai hesitated, he could hear the threat in Fang Guoan's words.

Now in Shaoxing Mansion, except for Liao Zhongping, there is no army he can control.

Wang Zhiren, the only one who can compete with Fang Guoan, has not yet returned to Dinghai, and I heard that he is still stranded near Wusongkou, and his intentions are unknown.

Therefore, Zhu Yihai could only respond: "Then according to the opinion of the Duke of Yueguo, how should Wu Zheng be handled?" ”

Fang Guoan said: "Ordered to withdraw to Shaoxing Mansion, remove the official, and send a capable minister to lead the Lianghu Guard." ”

Zhu Yihai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Fang Guoan had no intention of killing Wu Zheng, this was easy to do.

At the same time, Zhu Yihai agreed with the four words "dismissal of officials" proposed by Fang Guoan.

Zhu Yihai did not deny that Wu Zheng was a good general and a good knife, but this good knife was not obedient enough.

If the knife is disobedient, it will not only hurt others but also hurt himself, so Zhu Yihai also wants to replace Wu Zheng.

This can be described as a hit off between the monarch and the minister.

"Then ...... According to what Yue Guogong said. Zhu Yihai nodded in embarrassment.

Fang Guo was overjoyed, "Your Highness is wise. ”

"No!"

It was loud, deafening.

Zhu Yihai frowned tightly and did not speak.

Fang Guoan immediately turned his head, "It's you Zhang Huangyan again, you are a seventh-rank petty official, and you dare to make noise here?" ”

Zhang Huangyan said sharply: "Your Highness, even if the people break the law, they have to give the defendant a chance to make a statement, and now just based on the words of the Yue Guogong family, a four-grade official is convicted, how can he convince people?" What's more, Wu Zheng is still fighting for the country in Hangzhou City, His Royal Highness is doing this, won't it make the subjects of the world feel cold? ”

Fang Guoan was furious and scolded: "Zhang Huangyan, you are such a big dog! Are you accusing Bengong of framing Wu Zheng? ”

Zhang Huangyan did not show weakness, "Whether the Duke of Yue Guogong is framed or not, the lower officials dare not make a conclusion, but it is not straightforward, and it is necessary to face the gong and drum in front of each other, and the two sides can only make a decision in front of each other." ”

"You ......." Fang Guoan couldn't find the words to reply to Zhang Huangyan for a while.

At this time, Zhang Guowei said sideways: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that what Zhang Huangyan said is reasonable, how to deal with Wu Zheng, you must first convict, and Yue Guogong's testimony is only the words of one party, not enough to rely on." ”

Qian Sule instantly connected: "Yichen's understanding of Wu Zheng, although he is arrogant from time to time, he will never be ignorant. At the beginning, it was decided by the minister and Zhang Shangshu to blame the Duke of Yueguo, and it should not only be blamed on Wu Zheng, this matter has already been concluded by the imperial court, and it is not enough to involve today's affairs. As for Wu Zheng's unauthorized killing of the officers under the command of the Duke of Yue, the minister thought that there must be a reason for this, otherwise, with a thousand households with less than 3,000 men and horses, he killed the general banner of a Guogong who was in charge of an army of 30,000 without reason, which ...... Isn't that incredible? ”

This does make sense, as long as they are not stupid, who would do such a ridiculous thing?

Are you tired of being crooked?

Qian Sule's words caused many officials to nod their heads in agreement.

Zhu Yihai's gentle temperament came again, and he hesitated: "The three of them have some truth, so ...... Discuss again? ”

How could Fang Guoan agree?

If you miss this time, then you have to find Wu Zheng again, and I don't know when it will be.

"Your Highness, is this going to favor Wu Zheng with the three of them? Tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of the ministers can wait for His Highness to make decisions for them? If His Royal Highness favors Wu Zheng, how will the ministers explain to tens of thousands of soldiers when they go back? ”
