Chapter 70: Such a Pilgrimage
Fengtianmen is the place where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in the early dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao has not come here for a long time.
Even Zhu Youxiao, who was not interested in the administration of the court, had to pay attention to it and reopened the court meeting that had not been held for a long time; all officials in Beijing, regardless of the size of their official positions, were subject to the obligation of the court, and all officials from other provinces who came to Beijing to report on their work must also go to the court.
Hundreds of officials, so that the birds do not come to Fengtianmen on weekdays, boiling, the most excited in the crowd is those six or seven grades of small imperial history, to give things, on weekdays to scold the emperor can only be written, others do not know. Now that the Manchu Dynasty and the military are gathered together, there may be a chance to make a name for themselves. But helplessly, their rank was too low to reach the main hall, so they could only participate in the court meeting in Fengtianmen, and even the emperor couldn't see it.
Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, looked at the hundred officials in the audience, and had a little headache, the Shandong civil uprising only harmed a few small counties, and Zhu Youxiao didn't attach much importance to it.
He is the king of a country, born in the deep palace, grew up in the hands of women, and he only heard about the people's sufferings in the recital, and did not feel anything.
But he is deeply aware of the power of these officials in the palace, they write and scold people every day, and they don't let them do anything they want, and they can annoy people to death. Hundreds of people knelt at the door and wept bitterly, demonstrating and petitioning, making people uneasy.
Zhu Youxiao glanced down and saw Wei Zhongxian, who was hunched over in the crowd with a humble face, and his heart must have been as if he had a backbone. Only this companion can help him deal with those terrible civil officials.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao is really worried, after all these years of life-and-death struggle, the DPRK and the Central Committee are already Wei Zhongxian's people, and no one can compete with him. Zhu Youxiao saw that a few thorns on weekdays were really gone, and he was relieved, and said: "Recently, I heard that there is a rebellion against the people in Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, causing chaos in Shandong, what good plan does the secretary have to quell the thieves?" ”
Among the hundreds of officials, one person walked out first, with a national character face and phoenix eyes, fluttering hair, and well-dressed, which was Huang Liji, the first assistant of the dynasty.
Huang Liji straightened his official robe, and said loudly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, under the governance of Your Majesty and Gonggong Wei, now the four seas are peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong, and a few stupid farmers are raising flags and rebelling in the poor countryside, but they are just frogs at the bottom of the well, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead." In order to shirk their responsibilities, Shandong officials exaggerated the thief's momentum, in fact, it is a disease of scabies, and we have a holy monarch like you in the Ming Dynasty, as well as an unborn capable minister like Gonggong Wei, so you can sit back and relax. ”
Huang Lixing's words were extremely insensitive, especially from the mouth of one of his former court assistants. But he didn't realize it, and he spoke loudly and powerfully, as if he took it for granted in his heart. Hundreds of officials in the court bowed their heads and were silent, and their psychological admiration was not endless, no wonder they could be the first assistants.
Zhu Youxiao's face turned red, although he likes to have fun and is obsessed with carpentry, but he is not a fool. What kind of emperor he is, Zhu Youxiao knows in his heart, but Wei Zhongxian is indeed a capable minister in his heart. No matter what he wants, this old slave can always do it for himself. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao's heart warmed and said: "That being the case, Wei Qing worked hard to help me pacify the rebellious people in Shandong." They were also my obedient people, but they were bewitched by traitors, and if they could, try not to go on a killing spree. ”
Wei Zhongxian took a step forward, surrendered to the ground with respect and humility, made a big salute, and said: "The old slave originally did his best for His Majesty to pacify Shandong. ”
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed, thinking about the unfinished work in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, Wang Tiqian, the master of ceremonies and eunuchs, shouted sharply: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground until Zhu Youxiao left the hall before he got up and walked out. Baiguan stood on both sides, not daring to move, and only dared to withdraw when this powerful eunuch left.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at it proudly, his white and beardless face twitched, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he sneered: "After so many years, finally no one has to mess with our family anymore, Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing, Zuo Guangdou, Ye Xianggao, all of them are pretentious and look down on our family." Hmph, it's not all our family's defeats, life is really lonely like snow. ”
The number one dogleg, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stepped forward and joked: "Father-in-law, those hypocrites are dead, crippled, and now no one in this court dares to argue with us." ”
Wei Zhongxian smashed his mouth and said: "Those mud legs in Shandong, we still have to solve them as soon as possible, there is a second king in Shaanxi, and there is a gust of wind in Shandong, these Diao people are really hateful!" Our family can't wait to kill them all, and it's hard to understand the anger in our hearts, so a few of you will come to my house in a while to discuss a countermeasure and how to solve them. ”
The people who can surround Wei Zhongxian are all his cronies, and they nodded together when they heard the words.
The best time to exterminate all thieves is at the beginning of the uprising. Once they create a momentum, in this era of continuous natural disasters and the people's livelihood, they will be out of control. These people don't occupy the state capital, they are wandering around, he can beat you, but you can't beat him. It is also necessary to arrange people everywhere to take precautions, even if they are defeated, as long as the backbone does not die, they can make a comeback.
Originally, Yue Chenfeng started an incident in Yi County, Fei County, and went all the way to the east and went straight to Qingzhou Mansion. The commanders of Shandong had already arranged heavy troops and waited for them to throw themselves into the net. Who knew that Shen Muhong didn't take the usual path, killed a horse gun, and went to Henan.
"A gust of wind" went out of Shandong, and the officials in Shandong celebrated with their crowns, and finally they had nothing to do with themselves, so they naturally would not pursue them anymore and provoke this group of bandits. As for how they make trouble, that's all a matter for Henan officials to worry about.
The court only cared about slapping horses, and the local people passed the buck, giving Yue Chenfeng enough time to develop and strengthen himself.
Now in Henan, this "wind" is already quite powerful.
