After returning to Sun's Mansion, Sun Yueling summoned his henchmen Han Xiaoshui and Dongfang Shengping, and asked them to immediately prepare for leaving Beijing, and dispose of all the immovable assets that could be sold in Beijing, leaving only a few private properties such as Sun's mansion as a foothold for returning to Beijing in the future. Some of the businesses under the name of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sun Fu were also transferred to others, exchanged for easy-to-carry belongings, and prepared all kinds of daily necessities needed for the long journey.

When the two of them heard this, they hurriedly asked why, and after Sun Yueling briefly explained Ye Xianggao's advice to them, he said: "I decided to follow the advice of the elder of the pavilion and write to the imperial court to request the transfer of Jingshi, and this time I will take all of you brothers away, only in this way can you not be persecuted by Citigroup." ”

Han Qianshui said: "I'm afraid that some brothers in the mansion who have settled in Beijing for many years are unwilling to leave Beijing?" ”

Sun Yueling thought for a while and said, "This time it is voluntary, and if there are brothers who are unwilling to leave, I will naturally not be strong." In this case, you should first go and coordinate and see how many people are unwilling to leave, who are unwilling to go with me, and each of them will be given a home purchase fee, so that they can live well in the Jingshi. ”

Dongfang Shengping was surprised: "My lord, do you really want to leave?" "Since Sun Yueling changed the East Hall to the Sun Mansion, these brothers no longer call him the hall master, but call him an adult.

Sun Yueling sighed and said, "The eunuch party is powerful, and I have to do it this time." If we can't afford to provoke us, can't we still hide? ”

Dongfang Shengping said bitterly: "My lord, we left this time, can we come back?" ”

Sun Yueling's eyes lit up, and he said: "Don't worry, one day, I, Sun Yueling, will return to Jingshi, and the day I return to Jingshi will be the moment when the eunuch party falls." He slapped his hands on their shoulders and said, "Trust me, I won't let you down!" ”

……

"The ministers have served the emperor for eight years, and the chapter must be drafted by the ministers. That is, the Lord will do what he wants, and he will also send the envoy to preach it. If there is something to do, the ministers will fight, and the emperor will listen to many songs, and he does not want to make a will. His Majesty entrusted the ministers with the affairs of the cabinet, and the ministers were worried all night, and they did not dare to slack off, for fear of losing the king's grace. Today's internal supervisor Liu Dexi led the crowd to block the ministers' mansions, insulting day and night, and since the beginning of the dynasty, the ministers have been humiliated so much that they are not heard of...... The courtiers are respectful and self-assured, and if they are allowed to do so, the courtiers will not be lucky! The worries of the clan are probably not in the enemy's foreign troubles, but in the temples! If you don't discipline others, what good will it be for the ministers, but you want to go to make your mind clear......"

In the Hall of Heart Cultivation, watching Ye Xiang Gao Gao of the Emperor of the Apocalypse pondered, his eyebrows condensed into a crooked knot. After a while, he put down the fold and said to Wei Zhongxian and Gu Bingqian below: "Ye Shoufu asked to treat Liu Dexi's crime, otherwise he would have to beg to return to his hometown, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Gu Bingqian leaned over and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks that Ye Shoufu's move is clearly to admonish and force the palace, and to threaten the emperor by telling the old man to return to his hometown, which is really a big disrespectful crime!" At this time, he didn't mind falling into the hole for the three dynasties veteran of the Donglin Party, and only by completely defeating Ye Xianggao could he fully control the entire cabinet.

Tianqi sighed heavily, and said in great disappointment: "I originally thought that Ye Shoufu would definitely understand the righteousness and put the court situation first, but I didn't expect him to be so paranoid, not only to shield Lin Ruzhui, but also to treat Liu Dexi's crimes......" turned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "What do you think about this?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied, "This ...... From the old slave's point of view, Ye Ge, as the head of the dynasty, has always been in a high position, and he was insulted by an internal supervisor, so he was naturally unhappy, so the anger in his words was also due to something. After a pause, he continued, "The old slave felt that the emperor still comforted him gently, after all, Ye Ge Lao was a veteran of the three dynasties, and his prestige was very high, if he really left the imperial court, I am afraid it would be a loss for the imperial court...... "He understands the apocalypse, and the apocalypse has always had a trace of care for Ye Xianggao, otherwise, at this juncture of Donglin's defeat, he will not drive out all the Donglin people and only move Ye Xianggao." The so-called stick killing is better than killing, in order to control the court situation, his father-in-law Wei did not listen to the opinions of his children and grandchildren.

Before he finished speaking, sure enough, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Just because he is the elder of the Three Dynasties, can he ignore the laws and regulations of the court and shield those who have committed crimes?" For such a nephew of his, he did not hesitate to threaten him with resignation, is this still a minister of the Ming Dynasty who focuses on state affairs? ”

Gu Bingqian said in a timely manner: "The emperor is clear-cut, and Weichen agrees very much. This Ye Xianggao has done this, is there still an emperor in his eyes, and is there a Ming dynasty in his heart? As far as Wei Chen knows, Ye Xianggao appointed private individuals, repeatedly exonerated people, and always took the sins committed by others on his own. ”

Gu Bingqian's words reminded Tianqi of the past, and nodded: "Gu Qing's family is reasonable, every time the courtiers commit a crime, Ye Shoufu always blames them. But he is still finished, does everything I do have to be approved by him? ”

Wei Zhongxian said respectfully: "The emperor is the son of the great tomorrow, the respect of a country, and he is naturally a man of his word. Those of us who are slaves, of course, obey the emperor's orders, how dare we go against the emperor? Even though Ye Ge Lao worked hard and made great achievements, the old slave felt that he had made a big mistake by shielding Lin Ruzhu this time! ”

"He is not making mistakes, but holding his own merits and forcing the king to make mistakes." Apocalypse let out a sullen breath and said, "No matter what, this time I won't let him do anything again. "Said to Wei Zhongxian, "Lin Ruzhuo has violated the rules of the court, it is unforgivable, this time he will be arrested and punished no matter what, but he must not be harmed, just give him a warning." ”

Wei Zhongxian agreed and said no more.

Gu Bingqian hurriedly asked, "How does the emperor plan to approve Ye Xianggao's recital?" ”

Hearing this, Tianqi's brows furrowed again, and he hesitated, obviously not yet making up his mind about how to deal with Ye Xianggao.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little dull. Gu Bingqian was even more uneasy in his heart, he didn't know what the apocalypse planned to do with Ye Xianggao, if Ye Xianggao hadn't left the court, he would definitely have trouble sleeping, he knew the ability of this old guy, and under his secret planning, maybe the Donglin Party, which had lost power, would make a comeback.

After a while, Tianqi said to Wei Zhongxian, "Big file, how do you think I should respond to Ye Xianggao?" ”

Wei Zhongxian's heart was beating wildly, and he almost blurted out the words of agreeing to Ye Xianggao's resignation, but after all, he remembered the advice of his subordinates, held back the excitement in his heart, and said slowly: "If you go back to the emperor, the old slave doesn't know how to respond to Ye Ge Lao, but the old slave knows that Ye Ge Lao has gone through several dynasties, and he has been working hard for the Ming Dynasty, and he has long been sick, otherwise he will not be called sick, if he continues to work for the country, I am afraid it will be difficult to get up......" paused, and continued, "Although those Donglin people were driven away from the capital by the emperor, But they all had thoughts in their hearts, looking forward to the day when they could be recruited back to Beijing by the first assistant and continue to implement their so-called auxiliary strategy......"

When Tianqi heard this, there were waves in his heart - although Wei Zhongxian did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was clear. Abandoning Donglin's policy of governance and using another set of governing the country was a matter planned by Wei Zhongxian, Gu Bingqian and others, and personally inherited by him. If you want to implement it smoothly, you naturally have to drive out those Donglin gentlemen who formed a party and messed up the government, but with Ye Xianggao, they are naturally worried that one day they will change their minds and reactivate those Donglin party members.

Apocalypse sighed heavily, Donglin people's governance strategy in a few years of implementation, can not bring improvement to the Great Tomorrow, although these people are loyal and upright, but after all, they are loud, do less, not as good as Wei Zhongxian's strange methods, soon made the Ming Inner Treasury a lot.

Thinking of this, Tianqi glanced at Ye Xianggao's recital again, and said slowly: "In this case, then let Shoufu return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life!" After a pause, he said, "Add him as the prince and the prince, give twenty brocades and two hundred taels of silver, and escort him back to his hometown by the Beijing camp!" ”

Gu Bingqian and Wei Zhongxian glanced at each other, and hurriedly agreed: "The emperor is sympathetic to the old minister, and he is really the king of the Holy Ming!" ”

The two were about to retreat, but Tianqi said: "Sun Yueling, the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, folded and asked to be transferred to a local position, what do you think about this?" ”

Gu Bingqian took a step forward and said, "Sun Shaoqing was only appointed as a minister in Dali Temple because of the emperor's kindness. Now that he has not been in office for a long time, he wants to leave his post and go out, which is really a disappointment. ”

Tianqi laughed angrily and said, "Since I exiled Donglin, these Donglin ministers have rushed to beg for home, as if I would eat them, even so, I will not be strong, he wants to leave, let him go." ”

Wei Zhongxian asked tentatively, "Then what does the emperor plan to transfer Sun Shaoqing to?" ”

Apocalypse looked at him and said, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said: "Sun Shaoqing once supervised the pacification of the southwest rebellion, and he is naturally very familiar with the bandits in the southwest, and the old slave thought that he could be transferred to Guizhou to serve and continue to exterminate the remnants of the rebels. ”

Apocalypse snorted lightly and said, "That's not cheap for him." The Southwest Rebellion has gradually subsided under the supervision of Zhu Xieyuan, and I know that he is extremely brave, and I can't just let him enjoy the blessings, I want him to continue to serve me bravely. ”

"That'...... Where does the emperor plan to transfer him? Wei Zhongxian asked cautiously.

Tianqi suddenly showed an imperceptible smile, and said angrily: "Didn't I agree to let Ye Shoufu return to his hometown?" He is the person recommended by Ye Shoufu, so let him follow Ye Shoufu together. ”

Gu Bingqian was surprised: "The emperor means to transfer him to Fujian?" ”

"Why not?" Tianqi said, "The Hongyi in Fujian have invaded the Penghu Islands of my Ming Dynasty, and there are even pirates harassing the towns and villages along the coast, so let him teach those people a lesson for me!" ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly asked, "What position does the emperor plan to transfer him to Fujian?" ”

Tianqi closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "How about giving him a governor of Fujian?" ”

"Never!" Gu Bingqian hurriedly persuaded, "Sun Yueling was only recently appointed as a four-rank court official by the grace of the saint, if he is appointed as the governor of Fujian, I am afraid that he will be promoted too quickly, but it will harm him, and let other ministers in the court put their beaks in their beaks." "According to the rules, the governor is generally held by the Beijing official squire, the deputy capital of the imperial history and above officials, the rank is at least above the third rank, if Sun Yueling is the governor of Fujian, at least to be promoted to the second level, they do not want to see the remnants of the remnants of the Donglin party rise too quickly, in charge of the military and political affairs of one side.

"This ......" Tianqi frowned, looked at Wei Zhongxian, and said, "You say, what kind of position should I give him?" It can't be too low, at least it must have the authority to suppress thieves and pacify the criminals. ”

Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Fujian is just short of a deputy envoy position, and Sun Shaoqing is a four-rank Beijing official, so he can serve as this envoy." He had stayed in the yamen of the Criminal Department and was familiar with the arrest of thieves, and this time he served as the deputy envoy of the prosecutor, and he could exercise the matter of maintaining law and order and arresting thieves as mentioned by the emperor. "The transfer of Sun Yueling from Shaoqing of Dali Temple to the deputy envoy of the Department of Justice is just a flat transfer, which can not only deal with the emperor, but also does not let him be promoted, it is a move to kill two birds with one stone, Wei Zhongxian racked his brains to come up with such an idea.

After hearing this, Tianqi pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, according to what the big file said, transfer him to be a deputy envoy to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, but I will give him a gold medal order and arrows, and give him the right to act cheaply." "The gold medal order arrow is a token given by the emperor to his subordinates in addition to Shang Fang's sword, and he can act with it in a critical moment without being constrained by the officials, and the apocalypse can treat Sun Yueling like this, which shows that he still trusts and relies on him very much in his heart.

At this point, Gu Bingqian and Wei Zhongxian couldn't think about it, so they could only lean over and answer the order and leave the hall.

……

The wind is howling, and the rain and snow are falling.

The snow in the north fell early, and when they woke up, the people of Beijing found that the autumn spirit that remained in the branches and horns was swept away by the first snow, and the rotten leaves and street dust were completely buried by the snow, and the whole world became quiet and white, as if there was no hustle and bustle.

On Chaoyangmen Street, Sun Yueling stood in the snow with his hands in his hands, watching the people in the Fuzhong put everything on the mule and carriage, tied it tightly, and prepared to leave Beijing.

Since the Apocalypse approved his transfer to other places, he immediately went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to complete the transfer procedures, received the official seal documents, and prepared to go to Fujian to take up his post. Fortunately, he had already ordered his subordinates to prepare for leaving Beijing, so everything was carried out quickly and in an orderly manner, and the efficiency was very high.

To his surprise, Tianqi actually approved Ye Xianggao's resignation, which showed that the Emperor of Tianqi no longer favored him, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and was completely desperate for the Donglin Party. With Ye Xianggao's departure from Beijing, the Donglin cabinet has completely fallen, and it has been completely controlled by the eunuch party, even if his Sun Yueling has the ability to overturn and has hundreds of years of knowledge, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything in such a situation.

This time, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Fujian Inspectorate Department, which surprised him a little, but then he was willing. (To be continued.) )
