Chapter 477: Everything is known
After Cheng Beidou finished talking about this past, everyone was silent for a long time, and there was no longer hostility in Zhen Mi's eyes, Cheng Beidou looked at Li Mi, and then asked Li Mi.
"Does Master Li still dare to get involved in this matter?"
Li Mi raised his head, looked at Cheng Beidou and replied: "If there is no such thing, maybe I will turn around and leave, but now I can't leave, whether it is for Xu Yishi, or for Qi Shuai, or for many martial arts warriors, this matter must be explained!" ”
Zhu Changluo has long been moved to tears, he has never been in contact with politics, his heart is still clean, and as a child of the royal family, he has a stronger concern for this country than anyone else.
Xu Yihou, an unknown person who was captured by the Japanese people, can do such a thing for the motherland, and although many martial arts warriors are not upright people, but before the national righteousness, they chose to stand up, how could he not be moved!
"Mr. Cheng, rest assured, no matter what, I, Zhu Changluo, will definitely give everyone justice!"
Although he is not very old, but the teenager Lang is more likely to cause agitation when he is hot, not to mention that he reveals his true body, how can everyone not be happy!
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, we rely on the old and sell the old, it's really rude!"
When everyone said this, they knelt down and saluted, but Zhu Changluo helped them up one by one, and said with heartfelt emotion: "If everyone in my Ming Dynasty is like this, why worry about a thousand years!" ”
Although Zhu Changluo was quite ambitious, Lu Jiamao was worried, because he originally just wanted Li Mi to do this, but now that Zhu Changluo is involved, it is not very appropriate.
However, Zhu Changluo didn't seem to realize this, and he asked Cheng Beidou and the others: "Who was in charge at that time?" ”
Cheng Beidou is also an old fox, although he can see Zhu Changluo's sincerity, but the matter is important, and after calming down, he has become cautious.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, but they are only fragmented, Zhu Changluo inevitably frowned.
He also knew that he didn't have much authority in his hands, and even just got the trust of his father, who could mobilize troops and horses to make such a big move, it must be a high-ranking official in the court, even if the person in charge is not, there must be a big man behind him.
Although these old men are obscure, they are all big bosses, and they must have already found out the ins and outs of the matter, but no one spoke up for them in the court.
So Zhu Changluo asked them: "Who is doing the bad, you have to tell me." ”
Cheng Beidou and the others didn't dare to say it, and Zhu Changluo had already expected it, so he immediately added: "Even if I can't do it now, I will keep it in my heart, and I will be able to help you one day, right?" ”
With Zhu Changluo's words, Cheng Beidou and the others looked at each other again, and finally said, "Yes...... It's the military department Shangshu Shi Xing......"
"Shi Xing?" Li Mi couldn't help but be stunned, because he had dealt with Shi Xing!
Shi Xing is one of the main figures in this dispatch, and this time he is also in charge of the defense, supervising logistics, and is in the Santun camp!
In addition to preparing for war, a big reason why the imperial court did not send troops for a long time was that the famous general Li Rusong was still in Ningxia to quell the rebellion, which had just ended the war and had not had time to rush to Liaodong.
Li Rusong was the pillar of the Ming military circle at that time, because Li Rusong failed to lead the troops, he let Song Yingchang be the commander-in-chief, and marched first to deter the Japanese army.
Although Li Rusong has not yet returned from Ningxia, his younger brothers Li Rubai, Li Ruwu and Li Rumei have all arrived in Liaodong, although they hold different military positions, but they are all the sons of the famous general Li Chengliang.
Shi Xing originally proposed to go to the front line in Liaodong, but Zhu Yijun still let him stay in the rear of the Santun camp, after all, to ensure that the rear transfer is smooth, there is no need for anyone to sit in the town, and besides, if there are too many people on the front line, there will be a big problem in the distribution of command power, and it is better to perform their duties.
Hearing that Shi Xing was behind the instructions, Li Mi was also very puzzled, because Shi Xing was still a good official, and he was one of the "five sons" ordered by Wang Shizhen, and he also had a good reputation in the literary world, and his friendship with Wang Shizhen was also very deep.
It was precisely because of Li Mi's friendship with Wang Shizhen that he took advantage of the situation to let him help speak in the matter of Zhu Changluo's expedition.
This Shi Xing is a Jinshi in the Jiajing year, he was a gossip official earlier, and he was a clerk in the matter, and during the Longqing period, he was also degraded to a commoner because of his advice to the emperor, and he was re-used in Wanli years.
After the reinstatement, he did Dali Temple, Dali Temple Shaoqing, and Nanjing's Taifu Temple, and later because he was dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's revenge, impeached Zhang Juzheng, and resigned angrily.
After Zhang Juzheng's death, he came out again as an official, and then he governed the Yellow River, opened up sources and reduced expenditure for the imperial court, pacified Bibai, pacified Banzhou, etc., whether it was civil or military, he had good achievements.
Such an official, in the Ming Dynasty, should be a very good official, who would have thought that he would do such a thing?
Was it because Shi Xing was deceived by others, and really thought that these righteous people were rebelling, so he stepped on the rivers and lakes, or did he have other plans?
When Zhu Changluo heard that it was Shi Xing, he also beat the drum in his heart, because he knew that it was Shi Xing who brought him up, otherwise he would not be able to go out for his father, and now it is the key to the war, and he has no real power in his hands, how can he fight with Shi Xing!
Li Mi could also see Zhu Changluo's embarrassment, and saw that Cheng Beidou and the others were a little disappointed one by one, and they were even in front of everyone.
"Shi Xing is in Santun camp right now, I'll go and find out what he has to say."
Li Mi said this, the old people had some hope, Li Mi followed Lu Jiamao over, originally to win over his secret team, who knew that the team was not completed, and there was such a thing, and he could only sigh.
Cheng Beidou was not a fool, and said to Li Mi: "What is the matter with Lord Li's coming here this time?" ”
Li Mi didn't hide it, looked at Lu Jiamao, and then said to Cheng Beidou: "I heard Master Lu say that there are many capable people under your old gentlemen, and I originally came here this time to see if there is this fate, so that I can make more friends......
After all, Li Mi is an official, and it is impossible to speak too straightforwardly, Cheng Beidou is a few bigwigs in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he stops at the point, and he suddenly understands.
They looked at each other, and then said to Li Mi: "Although there is Xu Yihou in front of him, but this is the innocence of my family after all, if Lord Li really runs for this matter, our family will naturally have to contribute some manpower, and will not let Lord Li act alone." ”
When Li Mi heard this, he was also relieved, but he was still not at ease, and whispered to everyone: "After all, this is not a matter on the surface, if a few people can find some light hands and feet, good at concealment, it is the best......
Cheng Beidou and the others don't know that some officials actually do some shady business, so they will also hire some shady helpers, in their opinion, Li Mi estimates that they also want to do this, and in terms of candidates, they also have a number in their hearts.
"Don't worry, my lord, these nephews are not here at the moment, and the old man will take them to visit another day, whether they can get into the eyes of Lord Li depends on their own ability."
Li Mi knew that these old men really understood their thoughts, so he nodded and agreed, and then took Zhu Changluo and the others to leave.
However, Sima Hui did not move, he said to Li Mi: "You go back first, I still have something to say to them." ”
Sima Hui has always been mysterious, and Li Mi doesn't know what his intentions are when he goes north this time, he was originally guarding against Sima Hui, but considering that Sima Hui can deter Zhou Yu, and he is afraid that Taiping Dao will ruin the war in the north, Li Mi took Sima Hui with him.
Sima Hui saw that Li Mi did not move, and also smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, it's just a reminiscence." ”
Li Mi left Sima Hui behind, and after returning to the camp, after thinking about it, Li Mi finally came to Shi Xing's side.
Since the Ming Dynasty fought Zheng He to the West, it established a tributary system, and at its peak, it also had the bearing of the Tang Dynasty when all countries came to the court, but some people went to the West for people to spend money to buy face, and they didn't do it.
By the Wanli year, only a few small countries such as Korea, Ryukyu, and Vietnam had the closest suzerain-vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
As a suzerain, it must have the responsibility of a suzerain, and it is very necessary to send troops to the DPRK to maintain regional peace and its own national security.
It's just that the civilian officials are lazy, but there are not many people who are in charge of the battle, at this time it is Shi Xing who stood up, as the secretary of the military department, his opinion is very weighty, it can be said that Shi Xing's contribution to the army this time is also the greatest.
Such a person, Li Mi really didn't believe that he would do such a thing, and even framed the righteous people of the people, whether it was for the overall situation or other political purposes, this is unforgivable!
Shi Xing was also very polite to Li Mi's visit, after all, Li Mi and Wang Shizhen had an irreversible friendship, and Wang Shizhen even entrusted his son Wang Shisu to be a lonely, hoping that Li Mi could take care of his Wang family.
And Shi Xing was the first among the "five sons" to communicate with Wang Shizhen, and he was also favored by Wang Shizhen.
"Li Mi, you are finally willing to come to see me."
Li Mi had planned with Tang Xianzu and Shen Jing to enter the palace to sing operas, and Shi Xing also had a share, and Li Mi was Xuanfu, which was regarded as the official position of the inspector, and there would inevitably be frequent contacts in the future, so Shi Xing would naturally get close.
However, the more approachable he was, the more unbelievable Li Mi became, and it was not easy to speak for a while, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Shi Xing saw that Li Mi was absent-minded, so he took the initiative to ask.
"It doesn't hurt to say anything directly, this official is not a secretive person."
Li Mi wanted this sentence, otherwise he really didn't know how to speak, and asked bluntly at this time.
"There is indeed an incident, I want to know, why did Da Sima arrest people from the Fujian and Zhejiang Shunfeng Society and other maritime gangs?"
Shi Xing didn't seem to expect Li Mi to know about this, his face was also a little surprised, his lips moved, and he hadn't said half a sentence for a long time!
After a while, he secretly took a breath, and then whispered to Li Mi, "Where did Master Li hear about this?" ”
Li Mi looked at Shi Xing and asked again: "Does Da Sima know about Xu Yihou's deeds?" ”
Shi Xing's face became more and more ugly, and Li Mi could also see that Shi Xing knew!
Since you know what happened to Xu Yihou, why do you still want to suppress these coastal righteous people? If you are worried that they will do bad things with good intentions, not only will they not be able to help Empress Xu Yi, but they will let Empress Xu Yi fall into a crisis, or if they will ruin Shi Shiyong's things, you can completely dissuade them, and there is no need to arrest and hurt people or even kill people!
