Chapter 1492: The Rebel Thief Rises Up
Not long after Li Haodong sat down, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu came together, and all the people in the room stood up and greeted respectfully.
Huang Jingsheng glanced at Wang Dahu, smiled and waved his hand and said, "They are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite." ”
Wang Dahu glanced at the people in the room, and sat down in his old position without saying a word, that is, the main seat by the window.
Unlike Li Yanqing and others, Huang Jingsheng and Wang Dahu are Li Zhongyi's only two sworn brothers, and they belong to the righteous elders, who must be respected, not neglected.
After Huang Jingsheng sat down, Wang Dahu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me so nervously?" Come, raise a glass, walk one. ”
Wang Dahu raised the wine glass in front of him, took the lead in raising his neck and drank it all, Li Yunxiao and the others quickly got up and drank the wine in the glass.
Huang Jingsheng smiled slightly, Wang Dahu's aura was still so strong, people didn't dare to despise it at all.
I think that at the beginning, Huang Jingsheng was just a mere jailer, and Wang Dahu was even worse, just a jailer who did not enter the stream.
Today, Huang Jingsheng is already the third envoy known as the "Prime Minister", and Wang Dahu is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that worries the officials.
Since Li Zhongyi ascended the throne and became emperor, the power of the imperial court has been in the hands of his confidants. Among them, Li Yunxiao is especially important.
After all, Li Yunxiao was the commander of the Nine Gates, and all the soldiers and horses within a radius of 200 miles near Gyeonggi were at his disposal.
However, due to the duty of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department to supervise the army, if Li Yunxiao wanted to transfer troops and horses, he had to obtain Li Haodong's consent. Therefore, there are inevitably contradictions between Li Yunxiao and Li Haodong.
Huang Jingsheng put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Recently, the treasury has been abundant, and the emperor has approved your requests. ”
Li Yanqing, Li Yunxiao, Li Haodong and Zuo Ziguang, these four people, couldn't help but show joy.
As the saying goes, people are heroes, money is courage, and without money, you will definitely not be able to do great things.
Those present understood in their hearts that since the promulgation of the land restriction decree, the land rents and land taxes in various places have increased day by day, and the treasury of the imperial court has also been filled.
It's just that everything has advantages and disadvantages!
Under the order of restricting land, the gentry and large landowners everywhere hated Li Zhongyi and were eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
It's just that under Li Zhongyi's high-pressure policy, there are more than 10,000 big landlords who have fallen under the butcher's knife.
Who is not afraid of death?
So, the situation everywhere, at least on the surface, is calm.
However, the six people present knew in their hearts that this was just a brief calm before the storm.
Sooner or later, yes, sooner or later, the gentry and the big landowners will set off stormy waves!
There are all kinds of power in the world, and the power of the army is the most important!
Huang Jingsheng looked at Li Yunxiao slowly, and asked him with a smile: "Brother Xiaosong, the money and food needed by the Gyeonggi garrison have been fully distributed by the Sansi Yamen, can you collect it?" ”
Li Yunxiao got up and arched his hand, and said respectfully: "Back to your words, ten days ago, I have received it." ”
Huang Jingsheng nodded and said, "Before the emperor left Beijing, he personally gave me a secret edict and allowed me to dispose of it on the spot. Brother Xiaosong, do you understand? ”
Li Yunxiao said respectfully: "The emperor once personally instructed that you are in charge of all important military affairs and those who are indecidable in the cabinet, and the final general will absolutely obey your dispatch." ”
Militaristic affairs, and military affairs, don't look at the difference between one word, the connotation is very different!
That is to say, in the event of a rebellion, civil unrest and other major events, it is necessary to mobilize the army to suppress it, and Huang Jingsheng, who stayed in the capital, will exercise the power to make the final decision.
Huang Jingsheng's words did not fall, but he heard someone outside the house say loudly: "Admiral, there are eight hundred miles of chicken feathers in a hurry!" ”
Li Yunxiao walked to the door of the house, took the chicken feather letter, opened it and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.
Huang Jingsheng took the chicken feather letter, looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but change color instantly, and said angrily: "It's just unreasonable!" He easily pushed the chicken feather letter in front of Li Haodong.
After reading the letter, Li Haodong, who knew the military justice department, immediately got up, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "The subordinate officer has seriously neglected to supervise, and the crime cannot be punished." ”
Huang Jingsheng sneered: "Raise an army for a thousand days, use troops for a while, Li Haodong, are you worthy of the emperor's trust?" Shuzhou actually came out with a white-eyed wolf who ate inside and out, and he simply lost the emperor's face! ”
Li Yunxiao was in charge of the Gyeonggi military, and the heavy military responsibility was on his shoulders, so he could not express his attitude.
"To tell you the truth, before Liu Heyang, the general of Zhengdong, took office, he was personally authorized by the emperor to mobilize the command of the troops and horses of Huainan Zhulu. Presumably, at this time, he had already mobilized his troops and horses and was ready to suppress it. Li Yunxiao explained in great detail.
Because, Huang Jingsheng only cares about money and does not care about the army, some of Li Yunxiao's words must be clearly explained, so as not to delay the big event.
"Hmph, the clowns who jumped off the beam, they dared to rebel, they were really tired of it, they were simply beyond their strength." After Wang Dahu read the letter, he was furious and shot the case, "Li Yunxiao, you hand the letter to Liu Heyang, if he can't suppress the rebels in time, I will impeach him severely!" ”
"Alas, if the old man knows about this, I'm afraid he will ......" Zuo Ziguang sighed and looked at Huang Jingsheng speechlessly.
I'm afraid of what?
Zuo Ziguang's unfulfilled righteousness is well known to everyone present. Compared with the Khitan people who came to attack with 300,000 male soldiers, the rebellion of their own people may make Li Zhong even more angry and rush to the crown, right?
Since the rise of the Hechi Army, Li Jiajun has always been firmly in the palm of Li Zhongyi's hand, which can be described as an arm and a finger, pointing where to fight.
However, in the small city of Shuzhou, there was an ugly phenomenon of one's own people killing one's own people and then pulling the flag to rebel.
Li Zhongyi once said that the fortress is always breached from the inside, and his own betrayal is especially hateful!
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!
So, the hardcore six, who actually held the power of the empire, quickly came to an agreement.
"There is an edict." Huang Jingshenghuo stood up, took out a copy of the secret edict of Huang Feng from his cuffs, and said loudly, "The ministers listen to the announcement." ”
"Your Ministers Listen to the Divine Message." Everyone led by Li Yunxiao bowed down without squinting.
"Tell Li Yunxiao, Li Yanqing, Zuo Ziguang, Li Haodong and all the ministers, after I leave Beijing, all those in the country who encounter important military affairs and are undecided, listen to the three envoys Huang Jingsheng to cut them, and Wang Dahu to assist them, this edict!"
As soon as Huang Jingsheng's words fell, everyone led by Li Yunxiao bowed their heads and said, "The ministers are ordered!" ”
Huang Jingsheng looked at Li Yunxiao and Li Haodong, and said coldly: "If a certain family is not bad, the entire Jiangnan, Huainan and Huaibei are in danger of taking advantage of the wind, so I order you and the General Staff Department to jointly issue a general mobilization order in Jiangnan, always be on guard against the enemy's likely attack, and enforce wartime military discipline." ”
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Li Yunxiao and Li Haodong obediently received the order, Huang Jingsheng nodded with satisfaction, and without hesitation, he wrote down the order, using the small seal given by Li Zhongyi.
On the small seal that Li Zhongyi rewarded Huang Jingsheng, there are only five words: Seeing the seal is like seeing me!
Li Yunxiao respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Please give me a token for the transfer of troops!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Jingsheng took out a purple gold token from his arms and held it in front of Li Yunxiao with both hands.
After Li Yunxiao respectfully took the token, he examined it carefully, and then handed the token to Li Haodong, who was monitoring the army.
After Li Haodong carefully inspected the token from top to bottom, he wrote down the warrant agreeing to the transfer of troops, stamped his official seal, and left a special password for the Military Judge Advocate General's Department.
At this point, two-thirds of the formalities for the general mobilization order of the Jiangnan soldiers and horses have been completed, and Yang Wushuang, who is also known as the secretary of the General Staff, is left to sign and countersign and issue an order for mobilization and operation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is merit in quickly suppressing the rebels, and it is a great sin for those who delay the blame, do you understand?" Wang Dahu glanced at the people present, raised his chin and said coldly, "The important general of the sluggish military aircraft, Lao Tzu recognizes you, but the pen in Lao Tzu's hand and the mouth on his face can't recognize you." ”
"Whoa." Everyone present knows that Wang Dahu is by no means a lie and intimidation, he is a well-known six relatives who do not recognize him, and he is ruthless.
When Li Zhongyi was not in Beijing, Huang Jingsheng represented the supreme imperial power, but he did not have a single soldier in his hands.
Li Yunxiao holds the heavy troops of Gyeonggi, but does not have the power to mobilize troops and horses at will, in addition to Huang Jingsheng taking out the edict and the transfer token, he also needs Li Haodong's approval.
Eventually, the mobilization order will be issued from the war room of the General Staff Department and urgently issued to all important military states in Jiangnan, Huainan, and Huaibei in the form of a thousand miles of chicken feathers.
Yangzhou, the two Huai Road soldiers and horses are the governor's office.
Liu Heyang was on the left side of the lobby, and Yang Huaizhong was on the right side to show equal status.
Below, there are the deputy envoys stationed in Yangzhou to pacify the military law, and the commanders of all armies and their pacification envoys.
Since Li Zhongyi became the ruling king, with the continuous expansion of territory and strength, the establishment of the army has also made major adjustments.
Originally, the armies of the Li Jiajun were expanded into each compartment, that is, the compartment was used as a front-level combat unit.
And Liu Heyang is the commander of the second carriage capital of the Imperial Mabu Army, and leads the two Huai Road soldiers and horses in charge, and is awarded the rank of general of Zhengdong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a secret report that Li Fan of Shuzhou has rebelled." In front of the generals, Liu Heyang said this shocking event.
"Ah......h
"Nourishing ......"
"This ...... It's unlikely, right? ”
"Oh my God!"
For a while, everyone in the lobby looked at each other and was stunned.
After a short period of surprise, the generals immediately became furious: It's just Li Fan in Shuzhou, he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to openly rebel, is this worth it?
Yang Huaizhong, the pacification envoy, saw that the generals had their eyes on him, so he raised his face and nodded coldly.
It was only at this moment that the generals came to their senses, and Li Fan's rebellion in Shuzhou really happened.
All the generals and officers present, without exception, were all middle and senior generals who were born in the martial arts hall and were cultivated by Li Zhongyi. Naturally, Li Fan, the head of Shuzhou's soldiers and horses, will not be an exception.
However, Li Fan, a student, actually raised an army to betray Li Zhongyi, who was his teacher and emperor. The consequences of this are hard to think about.
"I am hereby instructed that in case of rebellion or mutiny, the commander has the right to mobilize all the soldiers and horses under his command at the right time to decisively extinguish the rebellion of the traitors!" Liu Heyang picked up Huang Chengcheng's secret edict from the handsome case and held it high above his head.
