Chapter 397: The Eyes and Ears of the Son of Heaven

"Last year, Ben Shuai was ordered by the late Yang Duchen to go to Kaifeng to pacify the thieves, although he defeated the thieves several times with the bravery of the soldiers and stabilized the Kaifeng Mansion, but the court had traitors to haunt him, and he had to return to Shandong by order."

Wang Zhengzhi stood in the lobby of the Zhongliebo Mansion in Licheng, and as he said this, he also got up from behind the military case and paced back and forth.

"The thieves have since taken the opportunity to become bigger, although this time they were once again defeated by the commander, but the imperial court has a strict order, but the Shandong army in the realm of Ruzhou is unable to stagnate, it is a pity."

It stands to reason that Dong Youyin and the four of them are generals and are qualified to sit and speak in the military discussion, but Wang Zhengdu has already stood up, where do they dare to sit firmly, and they immediately stand up, but their positions are still in the forefront of the generals and they have not moved.

Wang Zheng's words were a bit straightforward, and the words that came out of the mouths of Zuo Du Governor and Zhongliebo sounded like they were complaining about the imperial court.

If this is heard by those officials and imperial historians of Beizhili, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to impeach again.

What kind of rebellion and arrogance, these are all real and convictable, but Wang Zheng said it so indifferently, and even his complexion did not change significantly.

"That's what the big marshal said! Is our Shandong army still less hindered by these bullshit rules of the imperial court, if it weren't for the emperor's repeated decrees last year to ask the marshal to withdraw from the army, where can there be today's thieves? ”

In fact, while saying these words, Huang Yang was also paying attention to Wang Zheng's expression, because from the usual point of view, no matter what he suffered, Wang Zheng always had nothing to say to the court.

Speaking of this, Huang Yang raised his eyes and looked at Wang Zheng, seeing that he didn't have any unusual expression, he seemed to understand something in his heart, and then looked down at Li Yan of the left army standing on the right with joy.

The literati who are qualified to participate in the military council, except for Li Yan and Guan Qingtian, who are the left and right military councilors of the Military Council, are left with Gu Junen, the chief officials of various places, and the rest of the branch offices are not qualified to set foot in this hall at all.

Compared with the military generals of Mandengdeng, the literati foundation of the Shandong Army is much less, but for now, it is enough.

Li Yan smiled slightly, arched his hand and said:

"General Huang is right, but Dashuai, there are more important things in Shandong that need to be dealt with urgently, and it is still about the emperor who is sitting on the dragon chair of the Beijing Division."

Calling the word emperor is understandable if it were an ordinary rough martial artist, but it is indeed a little unbelievable to say it from the mouth of a literati with a meritorious name.

"Oh?"

A few days ago, when Wang Zhengchi came to aid Tuocheng, he passed by Licheng, because he was worried about the military situation ahead, so he didn't even enter the city, and some things were still directly handed over to the Military Council Department to deal with, and when he heard Li Yan's words, he suddenly became interested and said:

"Li Jun, please speak."

"Back to the marshal, not long after the marshal was ordered to reinforce Liaodong, someone suddenly came from the imperial court, and the eunuch Lu and the governor Yan, who had supervised the army in advance, did not get any news."

Speaking of which, Li Yan's words actually carried some low-level personal taste, for Yan Jizu to be called an adult, while Lu Jiu called him a "eunuch", and his contempt and disgust for eunuchs were overflowing.

Wang Zheng could naturally hear it, but now he slowly sat back in the military case, and he didn't care about this, he muttered a little in his heart, even the superintendent and the governor didn't inform him, what is Emperor Chongzhen going to do.

At this time, Li Yan laughed and said:

"Dashuai, the person who came is a brocade guard thousand, saying that according to the testament of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, there is a lack of a government secretary here in Licheng, and it needs to be settled as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the generals of the Shandong Army in the hall were a little surprised.

Jinyiwei is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven This is a well-known fact in the world, setting up a Jinyiwei thousand households in Shandong, and increasing the number of government departments, isn't this a clear plan to monitor them.

As the saying goes, on the side of the couch, you can't allow others to snore.

There are thieves in the house, and every move he has to report to the emperor of Beizhili, not to mention what Wang Zheng will think after hearing this, even these civil and military officials inside and outside the Shandong army are like mans on their backs, and they are very uncomfortable.

According to Li Yan and Guan Qingtian's report, these brocade guards did not put on a big show like Lu Jiu on the day they came to Licheng, and they played prestige everywhere, but they were locked up in the post house.

About six days passed, and these brocade guards finally showed their hands and feet, thinking that they had finally found a gap in the Shandong army to guard the wheel defense, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street, and hurriedly climbed over the wall, and divided into two groups to infiltrate the mansion of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Lu Jiu, the eunuch of the supervising army.

After a while, it happened to catch up with the gap in the Shandong army's wheel defense, and these brocade guards hurriedly and quietly ran back to the post house, as if nothing had happened.

They cover their ears and steal bells, thinking that they are seamless, and even complacent, but even ordinary people know this most basic truth.

Wang Zheng has a strict order first, the Shandong army is in the city of the day and night rotation defense is uninterrupted, the streets and alleys are full of soldiers coming and going to patrol, there is no gap, how can these brocade guards find such a good opportunity.

In fact, that night, the Jinyi guards climbed over the wall from Yan Jizu and Lu Jiu's mansion with their front feet, and behind the screen behind them, the generals of the Shandong Army came out, and they naturally heard Fang Cai's conversation clearly.

It is said that these Jinyi guards actually followed the secret order of Emperor Chongzhen, and took advantage of Wang Zheng's army to come to Shandong to investigate whether he had two hearts for the imperial court.

At this moment, Wang Zheng's military case was on the secret documents that the brocade guards handed over to Yan Jizu and Lu Jiu.

After reading it, Wang Zheng's eyes gradually narrowed, and his hand under the military case trembled slightly, looked at Li Yan, and asked lightly:

"What did you tell them to report back?"

Li Yan seemed to feel Wang Zheng's anger deliberately concealed, but he didn't show anything, bowed down and said:

"If the lower official speaks, please atone for your sins." After seeing Wang Zheng waving his hand to signal that he was fine, he smiled and said:

"The lower officials asked them to go and tell the old emperor that although the general army of Shandong is a little arrogant, and ignores the governor and the supervising army, but he has no dissent, and all he thinks about all day long is how to have fun with those famous prostitutes.

After saying this, the hall was suddenly quiet and terrifying, this kind of words would be good if they were put in paperwork, and it was really a bit bold to say it under the nose of the angry Wang Zheng.

After Wang Zheng heard this, he was silent for a long time, then suddenly opened his mouth and laughed, got up and pointed at Li Yan and said:

"Well, well said!"

After laughing a few times, Wang Zheng suddenly clapped the case and shouted:

"Huang Yang, lead people to surround the Jinyi Wei Yasi, you personally interrogate that thousand households, if someone doesn't obey, kill a few chickens and monkeys first, but don't kill too much."

Huang Yang naturally understood what he meant, and immediately made a square military salute, bowed his head and said:

"Obey the order, and the last general will go!"

The situation encountered by Jinyiwei is actually worse than that of Lu Jiu, the eunuch who came to the Shandong Army, Lu Jiu at least persuaded him with good words, and this time the Shandong Army directly sent people to surround the Jinyi Guard.

This approach is really a bit bold, but no matter what, the court officials inside and outside the city seem to have become deaf and mute, unable to hear or see.

Wang Zhengmei said in his name that "the place is not quiet, and there are many thieves infested" blocked the Jinyi Wei Yasi.

A few days later, Huang Yang suddenly knocked on the door of the Yasi and broke in with a group of soldiers to get people.

It is said that he wants to arrest the absconding bandits, but at the moment, Shandong is very peaceful, and almost everyone understands that this thief is purely false.
