Chapter 487: Sit back and watch what happens
When Lu Xiangsheng said this, he was already a little heartbroken, and Liu Ximing looked embarrassed on the side, but he was the same as Lu Xiangsheng.
This famous minister obviously didn't understand the thoughts of the court, whether it was Chongzhen or other courtiers, how many people really cared about the people.
In the eyes of these people, the number of deaths and injuries of the people is just a number, and where is it compared to the safety of themselves and others.
Therefore, as soon as Gao Qiqian said this, Liu Ximing saw that Yang Sichang did not say anything against it, and knew that this was almost the consensus of the government and the opposition, so he stopped Huang Zonghui from speaking.
Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng's words not only failed to impress Gao Qiqian, but made him sneer, holding the tea cup and only caring about tasting the tea but not talking.
Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to look at Yang Sichang, "Yang Ge is old and familiar with military affairs, do you also think that blindly shrinking into the city is useful for the overall situation?" ”
Yang Sichang was silent for a moment with a heavy face, and then sighed and said: "The general trend is like this, what can I do about it, the people of the world should consider it for the monarch's father, if Your Majesty is not at peace, where will the peace of the world come from, Inspector Lu still has to focus on the overall situation." ”
"Bang"
Lu Xiangsheng slapped his face on the coffee table angrily, and the tea cup jumped.
"The overall situation, the overall situation, isn't the people of the world the overall situation? Hmph, the Tao is not the same, you discuss your overall situation, and the official will arrange the troops and horses. ”
As soon as he said this, Lu Xiangsheng really walked out of the yamen of the military department with an angry face, causing Liu Ximing, Huang Zonghui and others to look at each other.
Yang Sichang leaned towards Gao Qiqian, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng's back with some concern, "Father-in-law Gao, Lu Shangshu is so willful, do you think it will be ......?"
Gao Qiqian still smiled casually, "Elder Yang Ge, don't worry, since the emperor has made our family a prisoner, that is what it means to keep an eye on our family, with our family here, this matter can't be broken." ”
"Isn't it, New Amber?" , Gao Qiqian looked at Liu Ximing with a smile after speaking, as for Huang Zonghui and Du Liangji, they were ignored by him.
Liu Ximing smiled and arched his hand towards Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian: "With Yang Ge Lao and Gao Gonggong here, naturally everything is worry-free, although Lu Shangshu is a little impulsive, but he doesn't seem to be an unreasonable person, and there will be no big leaks in the future." ”
"That's what I said, but Lu Shangshu is the supervisor after all, if there is really any critical juncture, who will Xin Amber listen to?"
Although Gao Qiqian and Liu Ximing are old acquaintances, in front of Huang Zonghui and the two at this time, it is inevitable that he will show his attitude.
You must know that Liu Ximing and the other three are Chongzhen's personal deputy envoys, and it is impossible not to send them any work.
Liu Ximing had already made up his mind, and immediately assured Yang and Gao: "Elder Yang Ge and Gonggong Gao represent His Majesty and the imperial court, and the lower officials naturally listen to the arrangements of the imperial court. ”
"Hahaha, our family says that the new Amber is a wonderful person."
Gao Qiqian laughed and glanced at Yang Sichang, both of whom were quite satisfied in their eyes.
Yang Sichang sat down and looked at Liu Ximing calmly, "The invasion of the Dongyu is indeed extremely hateful, but at the moment, the suppression of thieves is the most important thing in the country. ”
"Wujiang, you are also the initiator of the suppression of bandits, you should know the joints in this, remember to focus on the overall situation."
"As for Director Huang and Director Du, the two of you are commendable for their loyalty, but this matter is related to the affairs of the imperial court, so remember not to be reckless."
Huang Zonghui and Du Liangji were aggrieved in their hearts, and they could only bow down at this time.
Liu Ximing relied on his relationship with Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and directly proposed:
"Although Yang Ge Lao and Gao Gonggong have already set a strategy, it is difficult to ensure that there will be a lot of discussion at that time, Your Majesty will let me wait for the battle, for the sake of the future, the lower officials have a request, and please ask the two to agree."
"Please."
"Since we are asking for war, if we don't make an inch, I'm afraid that I will be a little unbearable on my face, and I also ask two people who can let the lower officials select the brave warriors in the Beijing camp to be their subordinates, and if there is a good opportunity, allow the lower officials to fight."
Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian frowned and looked at each other, Liu Ximing is really a meritorious person, how can this be good, don't spoil the big thing.
Gao Qi asked blankly, "I wonder how many soldiers New Amber plans to select?" ”
That's the case, but Gao Qiqian has already made up his mind in his heart, if Liu Xi's order wants more soldiers and horses, even if he offends him, he can only refuse.
"There are not many officials, only 5,000 soldiers and horses."
"Whew"
Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian both breathed a sigh of relief, what role can such a little man play in a war of hundreds of thousands of people, and the two of them were relieved.
Yang Sichang showed a heartfelt smile on his face, and stood up with a laugh, "This matter is easy, Xin Anbo and the two directors rarely have the heart to serve the country, and the official agreed to this matter for Gonggong Gao." ”
He looked at Gao Qiqian and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Gao won't give Yang this little face." ”
Gao Qiqianrou's face also laughed, "Where is Yang Ge Lao, the two principals, Xin Anbo and Huang Du, are both deputy envoys appointed by His Majesty, how dare our family stop it." ”
"In this way, our family will say hello to the Beijing camp, and the new Amber will go to the camp to screen it, and our family will allow you another thousand men and horses to gather enough manpower for a guard."
Liu Ximing, Huang Zonghui, and Du Liangji glanced at each other, and their expressions were quite excited.
Everything is still under discussion among several people.
However, the defense of the capital still can't leave Lu Xiangsheng, and Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian can only send people to invite him back to discuss defense matters together.
It was not until the evening that Liu Ximing, Huang Zonghui and Du Liangji returned to the New Amber Mansion.
"The country will not be a country", as soon as he walked into the heavily guarded New Amber Mansion, Huang Zonghui immediately put down the mask he had put up outside and lamented loudly.
Du Liangji also looked miserable at this time, "The ministers of the DPRK and the central government attacked Zhisi, completely ignoring the separation of the people, so the court, what is worth retributing." ”
Liu Ximing handed the official hat to the guards who stepped forward to greet him, and comforted the two of them: "Haven't we already seen this, the court can't be trusted, the minister can't be trusted, and the only people who can be trusted are you and me in the Datong Society." ”
"Now this shape just proves our idea again, for the broken frame of the Ming Dynasty, the faster it falls, the less the people in the world will suffer."
Huang Zonghui lamented again: "Having said that, seeing that there is only a group of intriguing ministers left in this glorious Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable that my heart will be sad. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Ximing in a daze, "President, how can you and I build a society that guarantees that this kind of shape will not appear again?" ”
Liu Ximing didn't expect such a big impact on Huang Zonghui today, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but slow down and think about it carefully.
"I think that this matter still needs to start with education, the imperial examination system obviously does not meet the needs of the imperial court governance, of course, this is not to say that there should be no exams, but the content of the exams needs to be changed urgently."
"Yes, now that there is a problem with the scholars, then we have to go to the scholars to find the root cause, and this imperial examination has to be changed."
Du Liangji also sighed.
"Let's not talk about these things first", Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Li Biao and ordered: "Go and get Jiang Deshen and them back from the barracks, I have something to arrange." ”
Since Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian nodded and agreed to let Liu Ximing and the three of them lead 6,000 troops, then he would not let go of such a good opportunity.
At this time, it was Jiang Deshen's turn to take effect.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Jiang Deshen and the others had already moved out of the New Amber Mansion and rented or bought some houses to live in the outer city, and by the time they arrived in the inner city, it was already very late.
Jiang Deshen is only 20 years old this year, and because he participated in Liu Jiajun's participation early, he is a German character.
Originally, he was very popular in the guard camp, but who knew that he was arranged by Liu Ximing to enter the Beijing camp as an undercover agent.
You must know that a character like him, if he is sent to the Long Xiang Division, at least he is also a deputy battalion commander or regiment commander, and he has to manage hundreds of people.
On the other hand, in the Beijing camp now, Jiang Deshen is just a general, with more than 200 people under his command, and the others are even worse, and some are just a hundred generals, which really makes these guards aggrieved enough.
Now when they heard Liu Xi's call, their gang ran faster than anyone else.
