Chapter 714: Controversy
"Okay, great!"
"Luo Dudu, is this news reliable?"
In the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, all the officials who participated in the early dynasty were overjoyed, because the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Luo Yangxing suddenly break the shocking news: the Tiance army was defeated in Liaodong!
How many years has this been? The Tiance army has always been invincible and unfavorable, and it has always been a frequent victory, and now it is defeated in Liaodong, which is really a surprise and a surprise.
The benefits that Wang Yue, Qidian City and Tiance Army brought to Jingshi and Daming were actually countless, but the vast majority of court officials were eager to get rid of them.
does not mention that the Tiance army rebelled against the imperial court, nor does it mention Wang Yue's dominance.
First of all, there are so many deviant regulations in the starting point city, which are deeply hated by the majority of feudal defenders. The most important point is that such a powerful army as the Tiance Army is not in the hands of the imperial court, and the most intolerable thing is that Wang Yue has repeatedly touched their interests, especially the commercial tax in the Jiangnan region.
"Indeed!" Luo Yangxing said slowly with a smile on his face: "In mid-May, the Tianjin General Li Zixuan Division, that is, the so-called Third Division of the Tiance Army, was defeated and returned when attacking the defense line of Jiannugaizhou. ”
"According to the eyeliner of our Jinyiwei in Lushun, Dalian, Tianjin and Qidian City, more than half of the troops of Li Zixuan's troops in Tianjin have been lost, of which nearly 3,000 have been killed and countless have been wounded."
"Recently, the Tiance Army has mobilized and reinforced Lushun, and Lord Wang Sihua has also come to Dalian in person, and Li Zixuan, the chief soldier of Tianjin, has been punished and demoted to the position of the commander of the Tiance Army by the loyal uncle, that is, the garrison of the imperial court."
The defeat of the Tiance army was also what Luo Yangxing wanted to see, so as soon as he got the news, he immediately reported to Chongzhen in the court. Jin Yiwei's command and knowledge of Sun Jinyong's backstage is Wang Yue, and Luo Yangxing's position as the boss is more and more in danger of being hollowed out.
Since Wang Yue reconciled with the imperial court, Jinyiwei's activities in the starting point city area were also legalized. Of course, all privileges are invalid within the starting point city, and all the Jinyi guards are just treated as floating population, so their main job is only to find out the news.
Thanks to the establishment of the telegraph office in the starting point city, both the imperial court and the Jinyi guard are keeping pace with the times, and the speed of information transmission is incomparable.
"That's not right." Li Jizhen, the right attendant of the military department, said: "Li Zixuan, the chief soldier of Tianjin, was demoted to a garrison by his loyal uncle, which does not conform to the regulations of the imperial court, and our military department has not received a document from the imperial court. ”
Indeed, the promotion and promotion procedures of the Ming Dynasty have always been discussed and decided by the cabinet, and then signed by the emperor. After all, the general soldier is the highest resident commander of the Ming Dynasty, so the right to appoint and remove is at the highest level, and then reported by the military department.
Therefore, Wang Yue dismissed Li Zixuan's Tianjin general army with one sentence, which did not conform to the procedures of the imperial court, so he could not do anything.
According to the normal procedure, Wang Yue wrote to the emperor to impeach Li Zixuan, and then the imperial court decided to appoint and dismiss him.
Huang Shijun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Then the court will make up a text. I heard that this Li Zixuan was a fierce general of the Tiance Army, and he took his position as the Tianjin General Army, demoted to a garrison, and then reappointed a Tianjin General Army by the imperial court, which was equivalent to cutting off Wang Sihua's arm. ”
Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, coughed lightly and said, "I don't think this policy is appropriate." ”
Huang Shijun's face became a little ugly and said, "Why did Zhou Ge Lao say that? ”
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said, "I think the imperial court should support Li Zixuan, the chief soldier of Tianjin." This General Li was able to contribute to the country and storm Gaizhou, which was heavily guarded by Jiannu, although he was defeated, his courage was commendable, and the imperial court should reward such loyal people. Isn't that what is lacking in the Tiance army such a warrior! ”
"That's right!" Tian Weijia, the secretary of the ministry, slapped his palms and said: "Zhou Ge Lao said this is very good! ”
"If the Tiance Army has a few more warriors like General Li and fights a few more battles of Gaizhou, is it necessary for the imperial court to worry about Wang Sihua always supporting the army and respecting himself? Moreover, Wang Sihua suppressed Li Zixuan, and the court supported it, and then won it over, so he didn't worry that Li Zixuan would not be grateful to the court. You must know that the fortress is always conquered inside, and you must know that this Li Zixuan's cousin is that Li Zixiong. ”
"Lord Tian is right!"
"Zhou Ge Lao is worthy of the words of the old man to seek the country."
"Goodness, great goodness! The Tiance army is not attacking and fighting each other, and the court is very fortunate! ”
After a group of court officials heard this, they all applauded this divisive plan.
"Nonsense, what nonsense!" Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Scholars and Engineers of Dongge University, couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "It has been decades since Dongyu Jiannu seized my Liaodong, killed my people, and plundered my border and the hinterland!" Fortunately, the Tiance army sprung up, and the loyal Bowang Sihua stepped forward and repeatedly defeated Jiannu, so that the imperial court now has a thriving trend, and the destruction of Jiannu can be expected, and the recovery of Liaodong is just around the corner! ”
"And you guys!" Fan Jingwen's lips trembled, and he pointed at the gloating officials and said, "You are here to applaud the defeat of the Tiance Army and cheer for the victory of Jiannu!" I don't want to express my condolences to the labor army of Tiance Army, but I want to destroy the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, which is simply a crime! ”
"Your Majesty!" Fan Jingwen bowed his hand to Chongzhen and said: "The minister implores the emperor to issue a decree to punish the first assistant Zhou Yanru, Huang Shijun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Tian Weijia, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and others for the crime of betraying the country. ”
Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was one of the main officials who committed suicide and martyrdom during the death of the Ming Dynasty in history. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he was in the selection of the Ministry of Officials, but he did not rely on Wei Zhongxian, nor did he attach to the Donglin Party, and said: "Heaven and earth talents, should be cherished for heaven and earth." The famous instrument of the imperial court should be guarded by the imperial court. The world is right and wrong for all eternity, and it should be shared with the world for all eternity. "I resigned due to illness.
Therefore, it can be seen that Fan Jingwen is a court official who does not attach to power and is upright. The benefits that Wang Yue brought to the imperial court were obvious, because of the cooperation with the starting point city of the material company, the Ministry of Industry and the starting point city were very frequent, and like the previous Ministry of Industry Shangshu Liu Zunxian, Fan Jingwen's view of Wang Yue was different.
"Master Fan, you ......!"
Fan Jingwen's wild spray immediately provoked a scolding war in the court, and there was an uproar for a while, so it was not lively.
Bang bang, Chongzhen slapped the dragon chair heavily, and Wang Chengen immediately shouted with a sharp voice: "Silence, please be quiet!" ”
The voices in the court gradually quieted down, and all the officials looked at Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Chongzhen looked at the well-dressed beasts in the court with blazing eyes, and every time the officials below the court meeting had a war of words, he was already used to it.
