Chapter 11: Yang Zhi is imprisoned
"Your Majesty, King Ning's ambition has been clearly revealed, I hope Your Majesty will deal with it as soon as possible." When Mu Bin heard this, his expression was correct, and he arched his hand.
"Hehe, Mu Bin, how can I not know Zhu Chenhao's little action? But with him, there is still too much to do to become a climate. ”
Hongji's eyes narrowed, and he replied with a smile: "In the past two years, I feel that my body is getting worse day by day, and I feel that I am afraid that there are not many years left. I have not yet established a prince, I have a son, but Zhao'er is still young, very playful, child-minded, I am very worried, and it is because of this that the one in the south is ready to move. ”
"Your Majesty is a celestial talent, in the prime of life, is the sun of my Ming Dynasty, I believe that God bless my Ming, Your Majesty will be able to live forever. The prince is clever, but he is still young, as long as he is cultivated a little, he will definitely be another round of the sun of my Ming Dynasty! ”
Mu Bin lowered his head and arched his hands again and said, but he didn't want to look directly at Hongzhi who was getting twilight above, trying his best to hide the sadness in his heart.
"Mu Bin, when did you start to make sycophants? I'm not used to this, so you'd better be the iron-faced and selfless commander again, hehe. "Hongji is in the top position, and he still looks smiling.
"Alright, let's get down to business. King Ning is of course the most evil, but there are too many vassal kings of my Ming Dynasty, and there are too many princes who have torn the land and sealed the territory for more than 100 years since the founding of the country. If they join forces against the royal family, they are afraid that the world will be in chaos. ”
Hongzhi's eyes were vain, he shook his head, and said slowly: "Among so many vassal kings, King Ning is the most powerful and has the most soldiers and horses, but let Zhu Chenhao openly argue with me now, even if he borrows ten guts, he will not dare." ”
Speaking of this, Hongji paused for a long time, as if he wanted to see Mu Bin's reaction.
Mu Bin frowned, thought for a moment, and then arched his hand: "It seems that Your Majesty already has a countermeasure in his heart, and the minister does not dare to speak in vain, and he speculates about the holy will." ”
"Hehe, Mu Qing said it's okay, you and I have been working together for more than ten years, and you still talk about such politeness?"
Hearing this, Mu Bin took a deep breath and replied respectfully:
"The minister dared to ask, did Your Majesty not want to cure King Ning's sin this time, but wanted to take this opportunity to knock on the lords of the south, east and west?"
The hall suddenly fell silent, and for a moment even the sound of a steel needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly. Mu Bin, who lowered his head, couldn't help but want to raise his eyes to see the saint's reaction. But soon after, the hall was shaken by a hearty laugh.
"Hahaha, those who know me, Commander Mou!" Hongji laughed heartily.
"My brothers and uncles, you should really bang and knock hard, I don't know how many years I can survive, Zhao'er is still young, I must leave Zhao'er a Ming Dynasty that can develop steadily without worries." Hongji looked quietly outside the hall, his expression was frozen, and anyone could see the loneliness and sadness of this lord of Zhongxing at the moment.
Hearing this, Mu Bin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the authority of the Kyushu Domain King is too great, and it should indeed be dealt with as soon as possible." ”
"There are also those minions of the Jiangnan Ordnance Bureau, they are really hateful, and they can't be let go." Hongji changed his expression, and his eyes showed a murderous aura.
"Come on, I am going to make an order, Li Dongyang will immediately go south, patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky, thoroughly investigate the personnel involved in the arms smuggling case of the Jiangnan Ordnance Bureau, and give him the right to act cheaply." Hongzhi looked upright, summoned Wang Yue and said: "Secondly, I plan to edict King Xuanning to enter Beijing immediately, without delay, and say that I have important matters to discuss, and I will send them to Nanchang urgently for 800 miles." ”
.........
The north of the city was over, Wulizhuang rested for the night, and the next morning the city gate was opened, and Wang Qian led the horse into the city. After a sleepless night, Wang Qian was already a little tired at this time, so after entering the city, he drove to the county government and wanted to rest.
Yongqing County Ya, as soon as Wang Qian arrived at the door of the Yamen, with the experience of his previous life, he felt that something was wrong, looked around casually, squinted his eyes and said secretly: There are really a lot of secret whistles. I don't know what happened, but the county government was surrounded by people watching. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a noisy sound coming from inside the yamen.
"You and I have worked together for several years, I have treated you like a brother and a brother, I never thought that you would be such a treacherous and troublesome person!"
Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, and when he heard this voice, he was sure that it was Wang Mao, and thought to himself: How did my father know about this?
"Last night, Lin Yongquan knocked on the door of my house late at night, and explained the reason, I still don't believe it, I am really sad to see you like this today, Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi, how can you let me say hello!"
Wang Qian suddenly, even at night, with the high-ranking officials of Jinyiwei, they can knock on the gate of Yongqing at any time in peacetime, thinking that Lin Yongquan had cleared up the truth with Wang Mao yesterday, and today Wang Mao must have recruited Yang Zhi to ask for guilt. The plainclothes secret sentinels around can also be explained, it must have been set up by Lin Yongquan to monitor the people of Yongqing's team.
"Lord Wang, you and I have been guarding this small county for several years, and there is no hope of promotion, what is the point of relying on that meager Lu Mi to survive in the world? I know, my lord, you are honest and upright, but everyone has their own ambitions, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, you don't need to say more. ”
Wang Qian walked in and saw Yang Zhi sitting on a chair in the main hall, his face was like earth, and he said with a wry smile in his empty eyes.
"What I never expected was that Lin Yongquan turned out to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, if I had known and taken precautions, how could I end up like this. Also, my lord, I want to remind you that the water in this matter is very deep, and my lord, don't protect yourself wisely, and don't set foot in this troubled water. ”
With a "snap", Wang Maoqi's eyes turned red, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and shattered it.
"As an official, we should benefit one party, and you secretly did such a thing that harmed the country and the family! Such a qualified enemy, do you want him to repeat the incident of Riya Mountain, my Han tradition is declining, and you and my descendants have been slaves and maids for generations, so you are willing? What are you still telling me about protecting your life? You, you are truly unrepentant! ”
I saw Yang Zhi lying on the chair, and sneered: "Don't tell me any big truth, my lord, this Ming Dynasty belongs to their Zhu family, but it is not my Yang Zhi's." ”
"You! You are hopeless! It's just that, after all these years, I didn't see that you were such a person. Wang Mao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes closed, and his tone was full of disappointment.
Hearing this, Wang Qian shook his head, this Yang Zhi is really hopeless, and he is still so unrepentant. This fornication with the Tatars is the work of an out-and-out traitor. China has been inherited for thousands of years, and the previous change of dynasty was only an internal struggle between the Han people, which did not hurt, in the final analysis, it was only an internal struggle between the seven clans and five surnames, and no matter how much the fight was made, the inheritance would not be broken. However, the former Mongols invaded the Central Plains, burned, killed and looted, and regarded our Han people as dogs. Just as Wang Mao said, the battle of Yashan and the humiliation of Jingkang's shame were completely indifferent to this kind of people.
Thinking secretly, Wang Qian walked out of the main hall, looked at Wang Mao and Yang Zhi, who were speechless, and arched his hand: "Father." ”
Wang Mao turned around, looked Wang Qian up and down, and said tiredly, "Qian'er, you're back." ”
"Yes, father, last night the child visited Wulizhuang at night, Yang Zhiwolf's ambition has been revealed, such a treacherous evil, I hope my father will deal with it as soon as possible, put it in the county prison, and don't fall into the truth." Wang Qian's face was expressionless, not arrogant or humble, what he was thinking about now was to protect Wang Mao as much as possible, this county government was surrounded by spies in brocade clothes, Wang Mao and Yang Zhi talked for too long, which was not a good thing.
Wang Mao sighed and said, "Lord Lin has already told me everything about last night. ”
After speaking, Wang Mao paused for a moment, and then said with a straight expression: "Someone!" Yang Zhi, Chen Linchang and the cadres involved in the county government were immediately arrested and brought to justice, and temporarily put into the county jail, without my consent, no one was allowed to meet them, so that the third class of officials strengthened the defense of the county jail in the past two days, waiting for the holy decree! ”
Hearing this, Wang Qian nodded secretly, Wang Mao has been an official for many years, and it is quite decent to deal with it like this.
Immediately, the three officials walked into the main hall, went to Yang Zhi's side, dragged him up, put handcuffs and shackles on him, and escorted him to go out.
"Wang Mao, let me tell you, this matter was instructed by the descendants of the Zhu family to do it, I am just an insignificant little role here, do you understand that I am used to blame the guilt? Hahaha, what is your national righteousness and your way of being an official in this filthy world? Do you think you're the true dragon emperor? Or a bodhisattva who purifies all beings? Hahaha. ”
Yang Zhi was in a trance, and said as if he was crazy.
When Wang Mao heard this, his eyes closed again, turned his back, and remained silent, but he didn't want to say a word to such a person.
In this way, Wang Qian was angry, took two steps forward, lowered his body and lifted Yang Zhi's collar and said: "Lord Yang, our national righteousness and our way of being an official are only the foundation of our people, and we don't need people like you to evaluate anything, this is the principle, this is the bottom line!" If you talk too much, people like you won't understand, people like you can't talk about being loyal, let alone loving the country and the people. Such disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial people, it is simply better than a pig and a dog, you are right, the winner is the king, the loser Kou, now you are the loser, I am willing to say that you are like a pig and a dog, then you are a pig and a dog, come on, take this dog official down, and take care of it! ”
Hearing this, Wang Mao's closed eyes slowly opened, and if he could look at it head-on, he would find that there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Wang Qian's words made Yang Zhi stunned, and after being taken out of the main hall by the officials, he reacted, and the sound of crazy laughter came from a distance:
"Hahaha, good boy, good boy!"
Wang Qian ignored it, and after Yang Zhi was escorted away, he turned to face Wang Mao and was about to speak.
Wang Mao also turned around slowly, glanced at Wang Qian with a complicated look, and said:
"Qian'er, there are some things I want to talk to you about."
