"An hour!"

Yang Xin looked at the emptiness in front of him and said to Xu Xianchun beside him.

It only took an hour.

More than 50,000 Jinyi guards and pro-military guards swept away the four houses, of course, because they couldn't squeeze in, in fact, there were thousands of people who participated in the demolition, but this was enough, not to mention demolishing, even the broken bricks and rotten wood were cleaned up around, leaving an empty square in the middle, about twenty zhang square. At this time, the snow also stopped, and the sun shone out of the clouds, shining on the whole square, and in the snow, only here was the color different, but the crowd still gathered and did not disperse. After those military households vented, they obviously looked much more relaxed, no matter whether their days would change because of this, they finally did what they wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

"In the end, there are still a lot of us!"

Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

He can indeed laugh now!

If the weeping temple of the scholars before, it could still create a little pressure on Wanli, but now their weeping temple is completely a joke.

Even they can't play it anymore.

And he doesn't need to worry that Wanli will be forced by the pressure of the scholar to increase the punishment for him, Wanli will not care about the pressure of the scholar at all now, because this parade has already told Wanli that he still has a loyal Praetorian Guard. His power is much stronger than that of the scholars, or the clique of civil officials and gentry behind them, and he still has the ability to kill and take these lives when needed, and these military households show the power that belongs to him.

However, Xu Xianchun didn't expect that Yang Xin's trick would have such a miraculous effect.

In his opinion, there are a thousand people, just come and make a noise, who would have thought that it would turn into a carnival that swept the whole city, tens of thousands of people took to the streets to cheer for them, not only the Jinyi Guard in his plan, almost all of the 26 guards of the pro-army Shangzhi participated in the military households, and even some senior generals of the guard were personally led.

"This is the world has been suffering for a long time!"

Yang Xin said.

With such a large scale, there must be high-ranking generals and those nobles behind them, in the final analysis, they are not willing to be trampled under the feet of civilian officials all the time, and they also want to take the opportunity to show their strength.

This time gave them a chance.

"Yue Sheng has arrived!"

With a shout, all eyes turned to the south, and they saw a portrait of Yue Fei coming slowly on a carriage.

Yang Xin and others hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

This portrait is said to have been taken down from the lobby of the East Factory, and was personally taken off by the great eunuch Lu Shou of the Admiral East Factory, and the escort of this portrait is also the fans of the East Factory, it is obvious that the East Factory also knows that he must take a stand in this matter, this is not just the struggle between the Jinyi Guard and the scholars, but the struggle between the royal family and Confucianism, as a force dependent on the imperial power, this time we must work together, it can be said that the foundation laying ceremony of the Yue Temple, has now become the common event of the East Factory, the Jinyi Guard, and the pro-military guard.

On the other hand, there are many people in front of the Confucian Temple, as well as the complicated eyes of the surrounding scholars.

"Dingguo Gong has arrived."

Just as Yang Xin and the others were about to greet Yue Sheng, another shout suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of soldiers escorted a middle-aged man in a python robe, and this person was accompanied by Yang Xin's old acquaintance, the eunuch who gave him the decree last time, and they quickly arrived at the scene. Yang Xin and his gang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, this is the boss of the nobles, the hereditary Duke of Dingguo, Xu Xigao, but it is also an ornament, there is no actual power, it is just the title of the governor of the five armies. The military system of the Ming Dynasty is indeed controlled by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the orders issued by the Ministry of War must pass through them, but in fact, with the emergence of civilian officials such as the Governors and Governors of various places who hold the sword of Shang Fang, the Ministry of War does not need to pay attention to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies at all. These civilian officials control logistics and military salaries, and have the power to impeach and even behead military generals.

The Ministry of War plus the Governor-General.

A complete military system is constituted.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was elevated, and then it completely became a retirement home for the nobles, and the Governor was used as a reward for the commanders in various places.

But in theory, this is still the highest.

"Get up!"

Xu Xigao said expressionlessly.

Yang Xin and the others got up, Xu Xigao didn't say anything more, just waved back, and the soldiers who came with him quickly bowed to the offering table in the open space in the middle, and Yue Fei's portrait was also invited, just when they were busy, the eunuch looked at Yang Xin with meaningful eyes, and Yang Xin also looked at him with inquiring eyes.

"Yang Yishi, Your Majesty has a decree, and Dingguo Gong will personally preside over the construction of Yue Temple, so you don't need to worry about this matter anymore!"

The eunuch said.

"Uh, the Grass People's Honor!"

Yang Xin hurriedly said.

Xu Xianchun immediately glanced at his subordinates, and those brocade-clothed guards quickly stepped forward, surrounded them in the middle, blocking the eyes from the outside, and under the protection of the human wall, the eunuch immediately walked up to them......

"You guys are too Meng Lang!"

The eunuch whispered.

"Father-in-law, we didn't expect this, we originally wanted to gather a few hundred brothers, come over and have a ceremony to anger those green insects, and allow them to sacrifice in the Temple of Literature, can't we also sacrifice Yue Sheng, who knew that their people's anger was so great, so many people wanted to slap them in the face together. We really don't know anything about the things in front and behind, and we didn't realize that something was wrong until we demolished the house, but this also shows the loyalty of the pro-army guards to the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty, and no one wants to lag behind in this loyal service to the country. ”

Yang Xin said.

It was clear that he made Wanli heartbeat.

These emperors are afraid of this, so many people suddenly poured into the streets, Wanli was not frightened, it was true or false, how did Tang Dezong collapse? Isn't this the kind of accident that happened? Tens of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of de facto soldiers, as long as someone deliberately spreads rumors and stirs up trouble, if they don't get it right, it will suddenly turn into a mutiny that will sweep the whole city.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this time.

However, Wanli's reaction was also very fast, and he directly upgraded this worship, and the original military household parade became a national festival hosted by Dingguo Gong, replacing his real national sacrifice.

It is estimated that Yue Fei's title will have to be increased.

Last time, he only sent eunuchs to the Guandi Temple in Zhengyangmen.

Although the eunuch is the master of ceremonies and the palm seal of Li En, this kind of sacrifice must be of grade, and no matter how scary the palm print of the master of ceremonies is, it is only four grades.

But this time it was Dingguo Gong who came.

is a military attaché, the head of the Ming Dynasty, and in fact, the head of the military ministers.

In a sense, the sacrifice he presided over was already close to the sacrifice to Confucius, and the emperor's worship of Confucius was usually only to send a noble or official.

It's not even necessarily comparable to Xu Xigao.

It can be said that in order to quickly stabilize these marching military households, prevent them from having an accident during the gathering, leading to a terrible mutiny, and at the same time to cover up the truth of this matter, Wanli has hastily promoted Yue Fei to the level of a martial saint. There is no martial saint in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yue Sheng and Emperor Guan Sheng are not martial saints, it is just a gift from the emperor to them, and their titles have nothing to do with martial arts, Yue Fei is still the Demon Emperor, in fact, from the Song Dynasty to the former martial saint has always been Jiang Ziya, this is a serious martial saint, the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts stand side by side, King Wenxuan of Confucius to King Wucheng of Jiang Ziya. But Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the martial temple, and no longer set up the martial saint, and the southern capital only has the Wude Building, the temple of the ancestors and other ten temples, those founding fathers are the objects of worship of the Ming military ministers, but the northern capital is to enjoy the temple with the ancestors.

As for the Guandi Temple, it is not a Wusheng Temple, but just one of the folk multi-god worship.

But now it's different.

Dingguo Gong's sacrifice to Yue Fei on behalf of the emperor actually acquiesced in the existence of a martial saint, especially the position next to the Temple of Literature, which was enough to make the people associate it.

And this was all forced out by Yang Xin in a hurry.

"You go and tell Your Majesty this, I think Your Majesty will listen to your explanation, saying that you will be summoned every day when you come back, this Holy Grace is also the only one of our Ming Dynasty, even the elder of Fang Ge can't meet with Long Live Lord twice a day like you!"

The eunuch said.

He means you're ready to be punished!
