Section 256 From Nanking to the Cabinet

The people present, including Meng Hong and Xiao Duozi, all knew that Yang Zhan's statement of "going home to take care of the old mother" was just an excuse, but Huang Degong was pure in mind and a person of filial piety, so he believed it to be true and persuaded him seriously, but it made people laugh and couldn't help laughing.

After such a burst of laughter, the atmosphere that was still a little depressing suddenly relaxed.

Ji Qingwen took the opportunity to continue to persuade: "General Yang, listen, even Huang Degong, the elm head, knows the pros and cons of this, so why don't you ask General Yang to temporarily succumb to me first, and wait for the emperor to reinstate the general's officer, how about the general find another high?" ”

Having said that, Yang Zhan, who could no longer tolerate Ji Qingwen's great kindness, continued to resign.

I saw that he sometimes lowered his head in contemplation, sometimes raised his head and looked around, and turned around several times in the temporarily supported and not spacious Chinese army tent, then stopped, gritted his teeth and said: "Master Ji, I don't think there is any need to talk about 'temporary', and I don't need to mention anything 'yielding'. In the next heart of fame and fortune, from today onwards, it will be considered dead. If you can follow Master Ji in the future, show what you have learned in your life, and help the people do something, it will not be a waste of this life. ”

Ji Qingwen saw that Yang Zhan made this decision after careful consideration, and knew that he was resolute, so he was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile full of satisfaction: "Well, since General Chen Wenzhao died, I really need a general like General Yang by my side!" However, General Yang doesn't have to say it to death, with General Yang's talent, he will definitely not secretly invest in the pearl, and if there is a day, he will definitely give it away. ”

History records that Yang Zhan is more than seven feet long and heroic and generous; He was good at using troops, and even broke Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates Feng Shuangli, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and others, and defeated Zhang Xianzhong himself at the mouth of the Pengshan River, forcing the invincible "Eight Kings" to be trapped in Sichuan, and finally perished. Yang Zhan was also proficient in government affairs, and when he was in charge of Sichuan, he paid attention to the restoration of agricultural production, and the people of Sichuan relied on millions of people to survive, and he was rich and strong in the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, under the city of Nanjing, Yang Zhan, a general with both civil and military skills, Ji Qingwen and his entourage in Nanjing can be said to have gained a lot, and did not wait for Jin Wuxi to sink, so he ordered the officers and men of the whole army to pack up all the baggage equipment, borrowed the boat of the governor of the river Yamen, and returned to Suzhou through the Tongji Canal outside the Tongji Gate.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, suffered several losses from the White Lotus Sect Xu Hongru and Suzhou Weaving Admiral Ji Qingwen several times today, and then thought of the anger he received a few days ago, so he was naturally filled with resentment, and as soon as he returned to the Yamen of the Nanjing Military Department, he ordered the scholar to show the paper and polish the ink, and began to write a chapter for the impeachment of Ji Qingwen.

However, he himself was at a loss first, and it was not easy to fabricate reasons out of thin air, and he wrote a paragraph, but when he looked back, he felt that it was too far-fetched, and he couldn't even convince himself of what he wrote.

I had to tear up the draft and rewrite it. In this way, I wrote and tore and tore until the next morning, when I could barely finish a piece of music.

But Xiong Mingyu read it from the beginning again, and only felt that this thing didn't make sense, and it was not at all the handwriting of himself, a Jinshi and a bachelor of Hanlin.

However, it was not too early for him to continue to rewrite it, so he could only slightly revise and polish it, so he personally carried this piece and went to visit Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the Nanjing garrison.

Xiong Mingyu's original meaning was that this article was signed by himself, and the weight in front of the emperor may not be heavy enough to participate in Ji Qingwen, who was holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, so he wanted to ask Han Zanzhou and Liu Kongzhao to also sign the chapter - in this way, the three military directors in Nanjing impeached Ji Qingwen at the same time, and the power was naturally much greater.

But what Xiong Mingyu didn't expect was that Han Zanzhou and Liu Kongzhao, who thought he was standing in the same trench as him, although there was no lack of encouragement for his impeachment of Ji Qingwen, he just refused to sign his name on this piece of music that he had carefully drafted.

These two people are equal to their status, and the saints are far above him, Xiong Mingyu must not be offended, let alone forced to sign their names.

In desperation, Xiong Mingyu could only suppress the anger in his chest and retreated.

It's not that he didn't want to go over to find the signatures of other officials, including Shen Liangzuo, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the secretary of Songjiang City, but none of these people wanted to get involved in this bad matter, so they naturally refused to use their pen to sign their names.

Within this day, Xiong Mingyu finally felt what it means to be officialdom like a battlefield, what it means to push down a wall, and what it means to be in a hot and cold world......

But Xiong Mingyu's second-grade black gauze hat on his head was also hard work, so naturally he couldn't give it up, so he could only bite the bullet and use the Nanjing Military Department to expedite the horse for 800 miles, all the way to Beijing.

However, Xiong Mingyu was still slow.

Brother Jinyiwei, whom Li Yuanyin requested, was really reliable, and personally carried Ji Qingwen's "autographed" recital, and it only took three days to come to the door of the Ministry of Rites.

Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard that it was a piece sent by Ji Qingwen, and without thinking about it, he withdrew from all walks of life waiting to find his own errand, and immediately beckoned this brocade guard into the yamen, took out Ji Qingwen's piece and read it.

But this reading didn't matter, it actually surprised Xu Guangqi, who had seen some of the world's great news and cabinet scholars.

It turned out that Li Yan, who drafted this recital, had amazing penmanship, and although the grammar was pretended to be crude, he wrote the rampant viciousness of the White Lotus Sect, the vulnerability of the Nanjing defenders, and the dim and insidious of Xiong Mingyu, which suddenly made Xu Guangqi feel that this matter was not trivial

However, it must be disposed of immediately.

So Xu Guangqi ordered his subordinates to close the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and no longer do things today, and he personally carried this important piece to the Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet worked.

On duty in the Wenyuan Pavilion that day was the cabinet deputy assistant Wen Tiren.

Wen Tiren pretended to be easy-going and humble, and he has always regarded himself as a junior to Xu Guangqi, the third person in the cabinet with profound qualifications and imperial grace.

Therefore, Wen Tiren saw Xu Guangqi coming in in a hurry, so he immediately got up and asked him to sit down, and ordered someone to make tea and pour water, and then took Ji Qingwen's recital and read it.

However, the things written in this recital were too important, so that Wen Tiren could no longer hold the big frame of the central auxiliary ministers, got up and turned around in the Wenyuan Pavilion twice, and finally stopped in front of Xu Guangqi, bowed down and asked, "Lord Xu, what is written in this recital is true?" ”

Xu Guangqi frowned and said: "Although Lord Ji is eclectic, he is still very proper in doing things and speaking, looking at his writing, this piece should be written in a hurry, even if you want to whitewash the text, I'm afraid it's too late......"

Wen Tiren heard this, read the chapter again, and saw that the first few mistakes were corrected in situ, and it seemed that he didn't even have time to transcribe it.

Then the incident of the White Lotus Sect bandits openly rising up in Nanjing City mentioned by Ji Qingwen is too appalling, and even he, the No. 2 person in the cabinet, can't afford it.

As a last resort, Wen Tiren could only send someone to invite Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet who had just gotten off work, to come over and discuss the way to deal with it.

Although Zhou Yanru was very surprised to see Ji Qingwen's recital, he was still able to barely maintain the style of the first assistant of the cabinet, put on a condescending look, and said: "Changqing (Wen Tiren's words), what Ji Qingwen played is extremely important, and it is not for our three cabinet ministers to decide, in my opinion, only by immediately starting the Holy Lord." Changqing, it's good that you can think of notifying me to handle this important matter together! ”

Wen Tiren hurriedly humbled a few sentences, but scolded in his heart: "Didn't you come up with a way to get the best of both worlds?" Don't you have to ask the emperor too? Please tell the emperor that such a thing can be done by a eunuch, can you use your cabinet chief assistant to work blindly? ”

Zhou Yanru may not be able to guess the true thoughts in Wen Tiren's heart, but he has not yet reached the time to tear his face with Wen Tiren, and he still needs to maintain a stage of "harmony" atmosphere with him, so he casually said a few perfunctory words, personally sandwiched Ji Qingwen's recital, went out and turned right and walked towards the Forbidden City.

Seeing this, Wen Tiren and Xu Guangqi also hurriedly got up, followed closely behind Zhou Yanru, and entered the palace together.
