The next day, October 22, the weather in Yanjing today was a little overcast.

Zheng Wen arrived at the Wude Hall of the Cabinet early in the morning, and at this time in the Wude Palace, only Liu Jian, Qin Fei, Zhao Shan, Sun Hua, Qian Chang, and Wu Yong were in the office, and the other cabinet ministers were busy with their own things!

After Zheng Wen met with them, he was ready to deal with official business with them.

At this time, a small official hurriedly walked in, and said without regard for etiquette: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jinling's urgent performance!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly looked at Zheng Xiaoyi, and Liu Jian walked forward quickly, grabbed the twist and turn, waved his hand, and asked the little official to retreat.

Liu Jian took the fold, walked quickly to Zheng Wen, and handed it to Zheng Wen respectfully with both hands.

Zheng Wen took it, and when he looked at it, he found that there were three big characters on the skin of this letter, "Jinling Urgent", but the "urgent" was in red handwriting, which was obviously the emergency writing method within the Daqian court.

Zheng Wen looked at it expressionlessly, and when he looked at it, he found that this was the performance of Li Youshang, the Jinling Inspector of Imperial History.

The supervision of the imperial history of the great cadres is subordinate to the establishment of the Inspectorate, the typical position is low and powerful, each county has a supervising imperial history, is the most powerful person in a county except for the county guard, the county officer, and the county lieutenant, and its main responsibility is to supervise the locality, what unjust, false and wrongful cases, what corruption and bribery...... He can manage all of this, but he can't deal with it directly, he can only go to the court and deal with it after receiving the edict.

Don't look at it as useless, but this position is the most popular, because it is noble, and because it is the only person in a county who can directly write to the emperor and go directly to the emperor's case!

At this time, Zheng Wen opened the recital, and the content that caught his eyes was: Li Youjin, the minister of Jinling Supervision Imperial History, played: On the evening of October 19, the Jiangnan Jiedu made Li Yin rebel in Jinling, led his troops straight into Jinling Dongcheng District, and slaughtered the area, and no one survived!

That night, the blood flowed like a river, screaming for a long time, and the traitor Li Yin was even more bold and frenzied, and set a fire in Jinling to burn this area to the ground.

I hope that Your Majesty will send troops to quickly exterminate the rebels and return Jinling to a clear sky!

Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

Zheng Wen saw it, but he was shocked on his face, but he was speechless in his heart.

The energy of this Jiangnan family is not small, from the evening of the 19th to the morning of the 22nd, only two days, this piece of music was sent to Zheng Wen, he thought that the earliest information on the surface would be military intelligence, it seems that he still underestimated the energy of these families after all.

And as soon as I looked at Zheng Wen, I understood that this was the handiwork of the Jiangnan family, who directly condemned Li Yin as a rebel and killed people with a knife, and wanted to use the hand of the court to eliminate the person they hated the most at present, because this person directly raised the butcher's knife against them.

Zheng Wen had a shocked expression on his face, mixed with anger, but said in an unusually calm tone: "Liu Qing, you can also take a look, everyone should also take a look, such a big matter should be discussed by our monarchs and ministers!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Wen handed over the fold to Liu Jian, Liu Jian hurriedly opened it and took a look, and at first glance, his face changed drastically, but he handed it over to Qin Fei without saying a word. Only Wu Yong saw it, and his face was a little uncertain.

Zheng Wen looked at them, and took the lead in speaking in an angry tone: "What do you privy councils eat?" Do you all eat dry food? I was the first to know about such a big thing from the Jinling Inspector Imperial History Li You's play. ”

When Wu Yong and Zhao Shan heard this, they hurriedly knelt in front of Zheng Wen, with a panicked face, and said: "The ministers have disappointed Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

But Wu Yong's heart was relieved, as soon as he saw the twists, he was afraid that His Majesty would define this matter as a rebellion as soon as he opened his mouth, so that their cadres and the military would suffer great losses, and now he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard His Majesty's words.

After all, Jiangnan Jiedu made Li Yin lead his troops to slaughter the family, and as soon as he was convicted of rebellion, the Daqian military was suddenly sitting, and even labeled as "untrustworthy". As soon as this matter is dealt with, the military of the Great Cadres will be strictly guarded by His Majesty and these courtiers in the future, not to mention any rearmament and warfare, any expansion of territory, and it will be fortunate that the military establishment will not be reduced; after all, this is the first time that the Great Cadres have formed an army and acted privately without an edict or military order, which is simply contempt for the authority of the imperial court!

As for Li Yin, the envoy of Jiangnan Jiedu, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, Wu Yong let them die, as the first person in the Daqian military, the person who walked out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, as long as it does not affect the overall interests of the military, it is still necessary to compromise.

And Zheng Wen took the lead in questioning the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and it is precisely because of this, he can't let the matter of the courtiers and his sons be used as an excuse to expand to the entire military, otherwise Zheng Wen wants to reorganize the army, expand the territory, and establish a great empire, and the ideal of building a big empire will be difficult to increase several times!

Because as soon as it is extended to the military, there will be a civil and military antagonism, and the civil and military will distrust each other, and the situation will be even more treacherous, and if Zheng Wen wants to straighten out the situation again, it will take longer than replacing a new batch of officials, but it is impossible to succeed without a few years or even more than ten years of work, in that case, Zheng Wen's ideal will not be implemented until when, and then Zheng Wen is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, as soon as Zheng Wencai opened his mouth, he questioned the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, which questioned the authenticity of this letter from the side. Ya's military situation hasn't arrived yet, and you're supervising the history of the palace, and there's nothing greasy about it, who believes it?

The people at the bottom, as officialdom bosses, are all old foxes in the political arena, and after thinking about it carefully, they understand that this matter is indeed strange, Li Yin's slaughter of the family must exist, but the rebellion may not be, otherwise the majesty in front of him will not be so calm, and he is still in the mood to ask the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, obviously this majesty is afraid that he already knows the inside story, of course, this must also have the meaning of His Majesty's favor for the military, and he does not want the Daqian military to become the biggest scapegoat in this matter.

Since His Majesty meant so, and besides, it was in their interest, they were happy to cooperate.

So Liu Jian opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, this is not the fault of the two adults. In this letter, this incident obviously happened on the evening of October 19, and it has only been two days and 24 hours now, and the military situation from Jinling to Yanjing City will take about 30 hours at the earliest. ”

"Oh, is it? How did it take so long? When Zheng Wen heard this, his face was surprised, like a person who didn't know the specific situation, so he got off the donkey and said: "Since this is the case, I blame the two Aiqing, please get up." ”

"The ministers don't dare." Wu Yong and Zhao Shan got up.

Zheng Wen opened his mouth again: "Then Liu Qing, what should I do about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be in a hurry, the court does not know the specific details, we can only wait for the follow-up information, and then we can prescribe the right medicine, after all, Jinling is too far away from Yanjing, it is difficult for us to take specific measures just a few words in this concerto, but specific preparations can be made!" Liu Jian seemed to really don't know what Zheng Wen knew about this matter, and suggested with a serious face.

When Zheng Wen heard this, he didn't seem to know that he was exposed, and said with a smile: "Liu Qing's words are exactly what I said!" ”

"Passing on my order, the Northern and Southern Army of Yanjing City and the Hebei garrison in Beijing have fully armed me and are on standby at any time, and the relevant work of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War is also ready, and when the specific situation is clear, I will send troops and horses to the south of the Yangtze River." Zheng Wen is a serious man who gives orders.

"No, obey Your Majesty's orders!" The people below also agreed with each other.

But is Zheng Wen really just joking? Apparently not, he was well thought out. When Jin Yiwei reported to Zheng Wen that he had found many dead soldiers in the capital, Zheng Wen wanted to mobilize the garrison of Yanjing just in case, but he couldn't find an excuse, and he was afraid of startling the snake.

And the ministers below really don't understand what Zheng Wen means? No, they understand that as important ministers of the court, who does not have some private sources, they have also heard a little about the tense atmosphere in the capital in the past two days, and they are still afraid that the city gate will catch fire and affect the pond fish, since now His Majesty has asked Yanjing's garrison to prepare, just in case, they are also happy and happy, and they are happy to cooperate, this is just a tacit cooperation between the monarch and the minister!

Others are kept in the dark.

And Zheng Wen said again: "In this case, then I will be in the Wude Hall all day today, I swear to wait for the news of Jinling, and Wu Yong and Zhao Shan, the two of you, will go to do things first!" ”

"No!" The two of them saluted Zheng Wen in unison and withdrew.

At this time, Zheng Wen was very happy in his heart, so excited that he wanted to go crazy, and he couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar!

But he still held back, Zheng Wen had already seen the relevant situation from Jinyiwei's intelligence before, he was very excited at that time, and this time he revisited it again, and in front of so many court bigwigs, he had a word in his heart!

But Zheng Wen still has to think carefully, how can he get greater benefits in this matter, although he is already the biggest beneficiary of this matter, but benefits are like money, who is too much? Zheng Wen is naturally no exception.

But how do you get the most out of it? Zheng Wen was clueless for a while.

Political interests belong to the court, after this incident, the court's control of Jiangnan is definitely on a higher level, the local families in Jiangnan have suffered heavy losses this time, and the court will definitely take the opportunity to compress their power, there is no doubt about it. Zheng Wen felt that his cronies and officials were still too few at the moment, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to send many officials to Jiangnan this time, but it was a pity.

But the economic benefits! Zheng Wen can send the Dongchang forces into Jiangnan, so why not?
