Chapter 173: The Emperor's Little Abacus Crackled
On the second day of the seventh month of the 25th year of Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars reached a peace agreement, and the Ming Dynasty compensated the Tatar silver 3 million taels and opened the border pass horse market. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Tatar cavalry withdrew north of Datongwei, known in history as the "Bingwu Peace Conference".
The Tatar soldiers retreated, and there was an undercurrent surging in the Ming court.
The foreign enemy has retreated, and the party struggle continues!
On the third day of the seventh month, 80 officials of the Yan Party jointly participated in the performance of the first assistant Xia Yan's five major crimes of misleading the country and ten major crimes of unauthorized power.
Yan Party officials are full of confidence! The reason why Daming fell to today's field is all because of Xia Yan! If it weren't for Xia Yan's admonition that the three battalions abandon the defense line of the capital and attack the whole army; If it weren't for Xia Yan's admonition that Zhao Kun, a brave and unscrupulous general, would have been beaten under the capital by the Tatar cavalry!
Before the Tatars entered the Kou, the Yan Party was hit hard by the Xia Party. This time, the Yan party officials are raising their eyebrows!
Yan Party officials never expected that the excerpt of 80 officials who jointly participated in Xia Yan would be left behind!
In the Yongshou Palace, Xia Yan knelt down in front of Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing threw Yan Dang's share of the excerpt in front of Xia Yan: "Take a look! ”
Xia Yan saw the excerpts, and he trembled like a sifting of chaff! If Emperor Jiajing punished him according to the charges on the excerpt, even if he, the head of the cabinet, had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut off!
"The minister is wronged!" Xia Yan fell to the ground and cried.
Emperor Jiajing said: "Lu Fang, burn the fold!" ”
Lu Fang took the fold and threw it in the brazier.
Emperor Jiajing played with a Dharma bell that came up from the Taoist priest of Chaotianguan, and said meaningfully: "Xia Aiqing has had it, but he is still loyal to me!" ”
Emperor Jiajing has been playing this set of balanced imperial techniques for more than 20 years, and he thinks that he has perfected the imperial arts!
Chen Di, a strict party, has made great contributions again, and he holds the world's soldiers and horses. If Xia Yan is really punished, and the Xia party has no leader, wouldn't Yan Song want to monopolize the government? The essence of the art of the emperor lies in the word balance!
Now that he has burned the excerpt of the impeachment of Xia Yan and does not cure Xia Yan's crime, Xia Yan will die for himself in the future!
Xia Yan was grateful: "The emperor is gracious, and the ministers die and can't be repaid!" ”
Emperor Jiajing asked, "Where are the Flying Tiger Army and Western Volunteers stationed now?" ”
Xia Yan is dog can't change eating, and began to put on small shoes for Chen Di again: "Your Majesty, the Flying Tiger Army and Western volunteers are all stationed in the capital!" In addition, the Guards were stationed with it. Ministers are dead! Although Chen Di has made great contributions, he now holds the power to command the troops in the world, the power to transfer troops in the world, and controls the internal and external defense of the capital, so we must beware of him。。。。。 ”
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand: "Xia Aiqing is loyal to me, and Chen Di is also loyal to me!" However, the ministers holding soldiers and horses are indeed not beneficial to the Ming Society. Xia Shoufu, tell me, what else do you think? ”
Xia Yan said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can't take Chen Di's military power rashly!" If Chen Di is really anti-hearted, he will inevitably jump off the wall in a hurry and take risks! The minister thought that he should order the Tianjin Guard's army, which was closest to the capital, to secretly enter Beijing and take over the defense of the capital. Then transfer the Flying Tiger Army to Tongzhou and send the Western volunteers out of the country! ”
Emperor Jiajing nodded: "Well, that makes sense." ”
Xia Yan continued: "When Chen Di hands over the defense of the capital, he will still be treated in the same way as before, promising a high position and not real power!" Seize his military power, make him the Duke of Zhuguo, retain his position as the governor of the capital, and promote him to the Taibao! ”
In the center of the Ming Dynasty, there were three dukes, Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. Three orphans, young master, young master, young protection. The three public and three orphans have lofty positions, but they have no fixed responsibilities, which is really a false title! In the Jiajing Dynasty, only the death of the hard-working old minister could be posthumously awarded the three princes and three orphans. In other words, in the Jiajing Dynasty, there were no living three princes and three orphans!
Emperor Jiajing's face was calm, but the little abacus in his heart crackled! Sealing a fifteen-year-old boy as the Taibao, there is no precedent since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! It's just a false title, so seal it! As long as Chen Di has no military power in his hands, he can't threaten his throne!
Emperor Jiajing said: "Very good! You immediately send a secret envoy to Tianjin to pass on my secret fold! Let the Tianjin Guards enter Beijing to take over the defense of the capital! ”
No matter how loud Emperor Ren Jiajing and Xia Yan's wishful thinking is, Chen Di will not fall for them again!
The temporary residence of the Flying Tiger Army, in Chen Di's big tent.
Chen Di was having lunch when Yu Dayou walked in: "I said third brother, why are you still living in the barracks?" Hurry up and move back to the Horse Mansion! ”
Chen Di said: "The Tatars have just retreated, I am afraid that I will not believe in the words of Altan Khan, and I will kill a horse pistol!" By the way, I asked the Flying Tiger Army to strictly guard the nine gates of the capital and check the passers-by to prevent Tatar spies from entering the city, how is this doing? ”
Chen Di asked the Flying Tiger Army to strictly guard the nine gates, not to prevent any Tatar spies. Altan Khan's internal instability will never take the risk of committing another Ming offense. Chen Di knew that with Emperor Jiajing's urine, he would definitely seize his military power again. Now that he is in charge of the defense of the capital, Emperor Jiajing does not dare to make an order. He will definitely transfer the Tianjin Weisu Army, which is closest to the capital, to take over the defense of the capital first, and then take away his military power!
Transferring the Tianjin Guard Army into Beijing, Emperor Jiajing categorically would not give an order with great fanfare. It must be a messenger who conveys the secret message. The Flying Tiger Army strictly guards the Nine Gates, and it is not the Tatar spies who are being checked, but the secret envoys of Emperor Jiajing!
Yu Dayou replied to Chen Di: "The Tatar spies have not found it for the time being. At noon, I mistakenly detained an emperor's secret envoy! This man was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but he was tall and mighty. The soldiers felt that something was wrong, so they detained him. He showed the waist card of the decree, saying that he had the emperor's order, and the soldiers let him go! ”
Chen Di asked Yu Dayou: "In which direction did the secret envoy go?" ”
Yu Dayou replied: "Go to the southwest!" ”
Isn't Tianjin Wei in the southwest of the capital? Chen Di smiled secretly in his heart, old Jiajing, you are finally going to do it! It's okay, I'm waiting for you to do it!
Chen Di ordered Yu Dayou to say: "Order the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, each carrying a wartime quota of ammunition to be on standby at any time!" ”
Yu Dayou asked strangely: "Our quota ammunition is ten grenades, thirty paper shell bullets, and sixteen leech crossbow arrows per person!" The battle is over, what are you doing with so much ammunition? ”
Chen Di sloppy eyes: "I just said, who knows if Altan Khan will kill a horse gun without faith?" It's always right to be cautious! ”
Yu Dayou nodded: "Reasonable!" I'm going to get the brethren up and be ready to go! ”
Chen Di said again: "You call Madeira, Yingyu and Hu Zongxian to me!" ”
Hu Zongxian is now the internal history of the Flying Tiger Army, and to put it bluntly, he is the logistics steward of the Flying Tiger Army.
Chen Di said to Hu Zongxian: "In the first battle of the capital, the Flying Tiger Army killed more than 100 people!" These people are all children of Zhejiang, you immediately transfer some of the silver and send someone to Zhejiang to be the settlement silver of these orphans! ”
Hu Zongxian took the order and left.
Madeira said to Chen Di: "Your Excellency, Marquis, you are really a gentleman who keeps his promises!" The commission has already been paid to my soldiers! I intend to immediately take the soldiers back to our homeland. ”
Yingyu translation.
Chen Di smiled: "General Madeira, don't worry! ”
