Chapter 140 I have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and I have shed blood for the Confucian Temple
Yang Xin was indeed in a hurry.
After feeding Fang Tinglan, who had already eaten the marrow, he had no choice but to climb over the wall and return to the capital, and after sleeping for a while, he entered the palace early the next morning.
Then he didn't leave the palace for a whole day.
As for the four assassins he sent to Jinyiwei, it is said that they all killed themselves by biting their tongues, and then Luo Sigong regretfully told him that these assassins should all be from the Smelling Fragrance Sect, who had come to seek revenge on him. As for the fact that the big wind chasing gun is still being investigated, it is not surprising that there are their comrades in the local officials and soldiers, and this smelling incense sect is really pervasive.
In a word......
That's it.
Yang Tongzhi expressed his understanding of this, he killed many thieves and enemies for the country, and it was not strange that he was assassinated or something.
Anyway, those four people just died.
However, on this day, Yang Xin was rewarded by the Battle of Liaodong.
According to the figures on the Liaodong Jinglu Xiong Tingbi report, Fang Ge Lao gave him a reward of 10,000 taels again, and the reward for the battle of Hu Erhan was also 10,000 taels, in short, the cabinet approved 20,000 taels for him, as for the soldiers under the Kaiyuan General Army, this has nothing to do with Yang Xin. In fact, at this time, the reward for Jiannu was already very high, and it had risen to fifty taels, although this kind of merit system was very backward, but it happened to be cheaper for people like Yang Xin, and it became his main source of livelihood so far.
If you are short of money, go out and kill a wave.
In this way, it seems that the boar skin is still very valuable to him.
And this ticket was intended to be successfully turned into a sealed holy decree in the celebrant supervisor, and Yang Lian did not have any objection to the right to actually control the military department after it was sent to the military department, and then this holy decree was sent to the military department by the General Political Division.
Yang Xin can go directly to the military department to get the silver.
All in all, it was a quiet day.
Everything was calm.
The palace is still preparing for the enthronement ceremony scheduled to be held on the 6th, the cabinet elder is still in the cabinet to maintain the operation of the empire, and the common people outside the palace live in a step-by-step manner.
Intrigue continued in the yamen everywhere.
At most, there are some daily trivial things, such as the impeachment of Fang Congzhe and Li Kezhuo by the imperial history, the imperial history asked to track down Cui Wensheng, and the imperial historian thought that Li Xuanzhi was not qualified to live in the Qianqing Palace, in short, they were all such trivial things. Yu Shi, if they don't impeach Fang Congzhe one day, they will be uncomfortable, Fang Ge Lao himself is used to it, and bullying the women in the palace is also their basic operation, after all, those women in the palace can't come out to scold them, and besides, all the twists and turns will stay anyway.
In addition, there is a small matter, that is, someone ran to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard to beat the drum and voice the grievance.
Accusing Yang Xin of murder and encroachment on people's land in Tianjin.
It's also the little things.
After all, Zuo Guangdou has already impeached him eight times, since it is useless to impeach him eight times in a row according to the supervision of Zhili Tuntian, what can he do if he goes to beat the drum? In the past, the two emperors didn't care, and now the new monarch who has replaced half of his students certainly won't care.
In a word......
The day passed without any waves.
But no one knew that a storm that really swept the Ming political arena had come.
And this is the last calm before the storm.
Soon a new day arrives.
"Yang Tongzhi!"
In front of the Chengtian Gate, the officer guarding the guard said to Yang Xin.
Yang Tongzhi is hot now.
The special relationship with Xinjun, half teacher and half friend, so that he will undoubtedly enter the core of power in the future, it is said that when he went to Liaodong for the first time, Xinjun personally went to the street to beat drums, although he was only the emperor's eldest grandson at that time. Not to mention that what happened in the Qianqing Palace the day before yesterday has also spread in the palace, of course, right and wrong are not ordinary palace people can comment, but it is also a fact that Yang Tongzhi forcibly suppressed the ministers, and he has been accompanying the new monarch in the Qianqing Palace every day for the past two days......
He was accompanied by the Qianqing Palace.
Fang Ge Lao has been the first assistant for so many years, and he is not qualified to enter the Qianqing Palace casually, and he has to wait outside the Qianqing Gate if he has something, and as long as he enters the palace, he will go straight to the Qianqing Palace.
You don't need it.
It's so hot that it's crazy!
"I heard that someone beat the drum and sued me yesterday?"
Yang Xin asked with a smile.
"Well, I don't know about this general, but someone did beat the Dengwen drum yesterday, and the drum also took his form in the middle of the matter!"
The officer said with a slight embarrassment.
"Hmph, these Diao people!"
Yang Xin said.
After speaking, he entered the Chengtian Gate with a proud face.
Then Yang Xin passed through the end gate again, walked all the way to the noon gate, entered the city platform on both sides, and soon arrived in front of the door of the noon gate, and at the same time, a team of brocade guards on the opposite side walked out of the doorway, led by Luo Sigong's men before, and when they saw him, they immediately gave up their hands with a smile on their faces......
"Yang Tongzhi!"
He said with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
Yang Xin said with a smile behind his back.
"I just got a driving sticker from the Criminal Department, and I'm going to arrest a Qin criminal!"
The latter said with a smile.
"Oh, who's the prisoner?"
Yang Xin asked.
As he spoke, the two looked at each other, and the man maintained a posture of arching his hands, and continued to smile on his face, and two rows of twenty brocade guards behind him followed with the hilt of their swords......
"It's you!"
The man shouted.
At the same time, he threw himself forward, and the two brocade guards behind him moved forward at full speed left and right, and a rope that was originally hidden behind them between them unfolded, swept over his head, and hit Yang Xin at the waist, while the two teams of brocade guards behind him also separated left and right, and all drew their knives and accelerated forward......
But Yang Xin jumped backwards and landed more than a foot away in an instant.
The two brocade guards were stunned for a moment, and then they accelerated forward with a shout, and the brocade guards on both sides ran wildly at the same time.
Then Yang Xin just put his hands behind his back and continued to jump backwards with a mocking smile, he kept jumping up again and again like a leisurely stroll, and all the brocade guards in front of him were running like crazy, but they could only watch the original distance remain the same, and the two sides went out more than a dozen feet in a strange blink of an eye......
"If the suspect resists arrest, he will be killed!"
Suddenly, shouts rang out on the wall on the right.
The brocade guards in front of them quickly stopped, and at the same time, dozens of brocade guards on the right city wall appeared with bird guns, and behind them was Luo Sigong, who was dressed in a python robe, and Luo Zhangyin sat on the Taishi chair very pretty, looking at Yang Xin below. Almost at the same time, flames erupted in front of him, all the birds fired, and the bullets whistled through the air, and in the hand that Yang Xin was carrying below, suddenly a small shield appeared, which appeared on his face in an instant, covering his face and head, and then the bullets hit him intensively.
Under the impact of the bullet, Yang Xin strode back.
The bullet even hit that shield.
But despite the sparks of the shield, the hole in his Flying Fish suit, and even the extra hole in the big hat on his head, revealing the reflection of the steel inside, it did not cause him any harm in the slightest.
Soon a round of shooting ended.
All the brocade guards looked at Yang Xin who was still standing there in amazement.
The latter slowly moved away from the shield like a classic shot in the words of Daming Palace......
"Luo Zhangji, what do you mean by that?"
Yang Xin said with a strange smile.
Inside his flying fish suit is two layers of forged steel armor!
However, these standard bird guns of the Ming army are indeed rubbish, but they are only more than 30 meters away, and they can't even penetrate the four-millimeter hard-hardened forged steel plate......
Well, he did go a little too far.
He has two layers of forged steel armor, each layer is a two-millimeter case-hardened forged steel plate, but because the connection method of European plate armor is too troublesome, so he is an all-iron armor type, strung together with special raw silk threads, just like sewing clothes, but the armor pieces are all large.
He made more than a dozen sets of such forged steel armor.
And there is a slight difference in size, depending on the situation on the battlefield, choose to wear one or two sets, one set is enough in the face of cold weapons, there is also silk armor in it, and you have to wear two sets in the face of birds and the like. If the opponent has a big lifting pole level such as a big wind chasing gun, then he has to wear three sets of the highest level of protection, but that will have a serious impact on his actions, after all, the three sets add up to more than a hundred pounds, and it is impossible to run on a horse. And only one set is the most perfect, plus the silk armor inside, it can not only ensure immunity against bows and arrows, but also barely resist bird bullets, even if it penetrates the forged steel, it can't penetrate the silk, and it doesn't affect his battle.
Today is special, though.
Today he set two layers of forged steel.
"Luo Zhangji, if you want to arrest me, you must at least take out the driving sticker, right? How much more about the Holy Decree? Doesn't it take a holy decree to arrest Yang? Then I, the commander of the brocade guard, am too cheap, right? ”
Yang Xin carried his two-point thick forged steel shield and looked at Luo Sigong on the city wall and said.
"Read him the decree and show him the sticker!"
Luo Sigong waved his hand with a gloomy face.
Immediately after that, a brocade guard beside him began to read the holy decree.
The other brocade guards reloaded in a panic.
At this time, the gunfire here has attracted the soldiers guarding the gate, and they are all looking at this side in disbelief around the end gate.
Of course, the content of the decree is very simple, that is, Yang Xin's crimes in Tianjin, that is, the sum of Zuo Guangdou's eight impeachments, what killings, what encroachment on people's land, what hijacking the gentry, etc., in short, the image of a bad guy full of evil jumped on the paper......
"Is this a holy decree?"
Yang Xin said incredulously.
"Of course this is a holy decree, Yang Xin, you are also a Jinyi guard, do you dare to resist the decree and resist arrest?"
Luo Sigong sneered.
"I don't believe it, Your Majesty will not make such a holy decree, I have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I have shed blood for the Confucian Temple, I want to see, if it is really Your Majesty's will, Yang will be at your disposal!"
Yang Xin said excitedly.
"Show it to him!"
Luo Sigong said.
He's a little frightened now, this thing is too difficult to deal with.
If Yang Xinzhen saw the holy decree and was arrested, it would of course be the most perfect.
The decree was quickly lowered by the rope, and the Jinyi guards on the city wall finished loading and reaimed at Yang Xin one by one, who quickly blocked the shield in front of him, and a brocade guard went over to take the holy decree, and then stepped forward and handed it to him carefully......
"Thank you!"
Yang Xin took the decree and thanked him with a smile.
The brocade guard was in a trance for a while.
Then he saw Yang Xin hold up the holy decree......
"Is this my decree? Then why don't I know? ”
Directly above the noon gate, on the top floor of the Wufeng Tower, a voice suppressed anger suddenly sounded.
