Chapter 359: The Crown Prince
Hearing Yang Sichang's words, all the generals in the second hall were stunned, not knowing what Yang Sichang meant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Baoding, arched his hand and said: "Supervisor, then Li Zhi didn't listen to your dispatch to suspend the suppression of thieves, and pursued Zhang Xianzhong without authorization!" Not only did he not listen to the dispatch, but he also commanded the soldiers and horses of other generals without authorization, as if he was a martial artist. ”
Yang Sichang sighed, his eyes staring at the blue brick floor of the second hall, his eyes a little sloppy. He said: "The governor asked Taibao Li Zhi to suspend the suppression of thieves, and he was also afraid that the cold weather would freeze the soldiers, but since Li Zhi successfully captured and killed Zhang Xianzhong, it is a good thing." This governor wants to go to the court and make contributions to Li Zhi..."
After saying this, Yang Sichang coughed violently again, almost coughing up blood. He coughed and took a sip of tea, and finally suppressed the cough.
Fierce as a tiger is an old coarse man who doesn't know much about the fancy intestines of literati. He looked at Yang Sichang's style, and felt a little like falling into the clouds. Yang Sichang obviously did not want Li Zhi to make meritorious contributions. When he saw Li Zhi's meritorious service and coughed like this, he was obviously angry, how could he still say that Li Zhi's meritorious service was a good thing?
What is the truth about this?
Zhang Yingyuan and Yuan Jixian glanced at each other, and guessed the reason why Yang Sichang did this.
In order to restrain Li Zhi, Yang Sichang had previously verbally ordered all armies to suspend the suppression of thieves on the grounds of cold weather, which was already very sensitive and easy to be attacked by the officials. But in any case, Yang Sichang still ordered all the armies in the name of public interest. Now that Li Zhi has won the battle and killed Zhang Xianzhong, Yang Sichang naturally can't show that he is unhappy.
Yang Sichang not only couldn't be unhappy, but also had to speak for Li Zhi, so that the Son of Heaven could feel that Yang Sichang was a loyal minister, not a traitor who controlled the situation of the country for personal gain.
Yang Sichang must protect his image of serving the public in front of the Son of Heaven in order to save his life. He couldn't beat Zhang Xianzhong, and he was only a mediocre crime, and he was dismissed at most. If the Son of Heaven thinks that Yang Sichang is playing power tricks to harm the general, it will be to lose his head, and the stigma will never be washed away.
So when Yang Sichang was so discouraged and desperate and coughed so badly, he had to praise Li Zhi for doing a good job against his will. Because Yang Sichang knew that his general trend was gone, his conversations with the governor and the general soldiers at this time would be spread outside by those who had a heart. If you are not careful, it will be the end of losing your head.
The Son of Heaven trusted Yuan Chonghuan so much at that time, and finally found out that he had been deceived, Ling Chi Yuan Chonghuan. Yang Sichang thinks he is smart, but he doesn't want to follow in Yuan Chonghuan's footsteps.
Zhang Yingyuan and Yuan Jixian looked at Yang Sichang, who was terminally ill but still cautious, and felt a little bored. Now that Yang Sichang is so wary of himself, for fear that he will pass on his handle, what are these people discussing with Yang Sichang?
Since Yang Sichang wants to play the Son of Heaven to talk about Li Zhi, shouldn't he also play the Son of Heaven to talk to Li Zhi? Li Zhi is so in the limelight, it seems that he has no public heart not to speak for Li Zhi.
As for the mediocre hats of these people, they can't take it off. I'm afraid that the punishment of demotion will follow.
Zhang Yingyuan and Yuan Jixian were a little excited, and they didn't say much to Yang Sichang. The two of them waved at Yang Sichang, and then got up to say goodbye.
Fierce as a tiger thought for a long time, and slowly guessed the Tao in it. However, he was straight-tempered, and he was still grateful to Yang Sichang for promoting him from the situation on the border, and when he left, he shook Yang Sichang to the ground and said loudly: "Take care of your body!" ”
Yang Sichang smiled bitterly, did not answer, and closed his eyes.
Seeing off the three guests, Yang Sichang sat on the chair, his face getting whiter and whiter. At this time, Yang Sichang's general trend has gone, and the best outcome is to be dismissed and return home. 's ambitious and steady life, I didn't expect it to end like this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but feel sad.
At that time, he entered the cabinet as a minister, and he was powerful and powerful when he controlled the court situation, as if he was in another world.
He suddenly let out a whoop and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground in the second hall.
Several servants of the Yang family were frightened when they saw such a scene. They hurriedly wiped their clothes on the ground, trying to wipe off the blood. But where the blood stain is so easy to wipe away, the harder they try, the bigger the blood stain will become. They panicked and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Sichang.
"Master, you have to keep your body."
"Master, I don't take care of it, I'm guilty!"
Yang Sichang looked at the blood stains on the ground in surprise, and then he felt that his life was not long, and he was afraid that he was terminally ill.
Yang Sichang sighed and said slowly: "Li Zhi killed me..."
####
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was the Lantern Festival, and it snowed heavily in the capital. The Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty is covered in silver, and the palaces with heavy eaves and golden roofs are all covered with snow, which has a unique scenery.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen, the great emperor, grabbed Li Zhi's Tang Bao and sighed.
He walked to the window, looked at the white Forbidden City, and did not speak for a long time.
After standing for a quarter of an hour, Zhu Youzhen sighed: "Yang Sichang has been fighting for a year, and the situation is getting worse and worse, and Li Zhichuan captured and killed Zhang Xianzhong in just a month. ”
"I can't imagine that Yang Sichang, who I single-handedly pulled, is so unbearable, and he can't compare to Li Zhi, a warlord in Tianjin."
Zhu Youzhen is regretting his own vision of looking at people. In fact, Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, wants to prove his ability and vision, and every time he reuses a person, he trusts him completely. There was Yuan Chonghuan in the front and Yang Sichang in the back, but the final ending proved that his vision was not sophisticated. The end of these two people was hasty.
In contrast to Li Zhi's easy extermination of Zhang Xianzhong, Yang Sichang's ability and morality are very small. This incident made Zhu Youzhen a little shocked.
The only loyal minister who was reused by the Son of Heaven but did not have problems was Wen Tiren. But Wen Tiren Zhishi has been driving west for a year.
Wang Chengen thought for a while and said, "Emperor, the Yang Pavilion Department also performed a chapter to make contributions to Li Zhi. It can be seen that he still has the heart of loyalty to the country. The previous Li Zhi was troubled by the Yang Cabinet Department, I am afraid it was a misunderstanding. ”
"It's just that he said in his recital that he is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left..."
Zhu Youzhen turned his back to Wang Chengen and did not speak.
Yang Sichang said in the recital that he was dying, and Zhu Youzhen didn't bother to get rid of him. Let Yang Sichang die in his position, and the ending is not so ugly, and it can be regarded as giving himself a step.
Wang Chengen said: "Emperor, no matter what, the thieves have been exterminated, and now the thieves are only the thieves, which is a great joy." can exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, relying on Li Zhi's thunderous means, relying on the mighty power of the saint! ”
Zhu Youzhen heard Wang Chengen's words, nodded, and slowly became happy.
Wang Chengen said again: "Emperor, as long as Li Zhi arrives in Henan, he won't be able to jump to Li Zicheng for a few days!" ”
Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "Li Zhishi is a pillar of the country, and he must be rewarded. I entered Li Zhi as the prince and the prince, worshiped as the martial arts, and controlled the soldiers and horses of all walks of life in Henan. ”
"Spread my will, let Li Zhi go to Henan to destroy Li Zicheng quickly. If you can calm the thieves in Henan, you will be credited with the merits! ”
Wang Chengen was stunned, and secretly said that the meaning of the last sentence of the Son of Heaven was to knight Li Zhi.
Li Zhi, a warlord, was very powerful in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chengen secretly said that he would make more friends with Li Zhi in the future, and if Li Zhi was made an earl, then the power would be even different.
Zhu Youzhen seemed to have figured it out, laughed, and said, "Zhang Xianzhong is dead, I'm happy." Go to Kunning Palace, I want to taste the Lantern Festival made by the queen herself! (To be continued.) )
