Not to mention the people below, even the emperor Zhu Youzhen above was almost shocked by Wen Zhenmeng's words.

Isn't Wen Zhenmeng the backbone of the opposition to Su Baiyi, when he went to Zhang Zhiji's house to beat Su Baiyi, wasn't Wen Zhenmeng the one who took the lead?

How did this old guy become a supporter of Su Baiyi's construction of the railway?

"Lord Wen, don't be confused!" Liu Wenquan jumped up from the ground in a hurry.

Although the Guozi sacrificial wine is only from the third grade, it is one level lower than the six servants, but in fact it is not the case in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Guozijian has been dilapidated, although there are not many people anymore, this institution is the same as the Hanlin Academy, it is a very noble existence, and being able to be the Guozijian sacrificial wine is equivalent to becoming a teacher for many people, even if it is not too much to say that the world is full of peaches and plums.

Qiu Jun, a famous minister of science, entered the cabinet as a national priest.

Therefore, Liu Wenquan's words are still very weighty in the court.

He jumped up and accused Wen Zhenmeng like this, and the officials behind him began to sit still.

"Lord Wen should think twice!"

"Old Wenge, Su Baiyi villain, An can be with the rats?"

"Master Wen has entered the cabinet, and his mind is confused."

"The students implore the adults to cherish the evening festival, you can know that one misstep can become a thousand hatreds!"

"In vain, you have read all the books of the sages for so many years, and you have read them all to dogs."

"I don't hesitate to be famous for power, I feel sorry for it!"

……

The Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty is such nonsense, don't care how old you are, whether you are in the cabinet or not, as long as Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, you make Lao Tzu unhappy, and you have to die to scold you for not succeeding.

Wen Zhenmeng seemed to be familiar with these ways of officialdom, and stood there with his eyes narrowed slightly, as if the scolding outside was not aimed at him.

"Since the railway is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, the cabinet and the general administration department naturally have no reason to seal it back!" Wen Zhenmeng added.

The ministers blew up again, and many people jumped up from the ground, rolled up their sleeves and clenched their fists, already preparing for battle.

At this time, another big man in the cabinet, Min Hongxue, a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, walked out slowly.

He stood behind Wen Zhenmeng, bowed his hand slightly to Zhu Youzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's previous vision, fortunately, Your Majesty's teachings, the minister is like seeing the sun through the clouds." What Mr. Wen said is reasonable, the construction of the railway is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and the minister seconded it! ”

What is the situation!

The ministers were completely dumbfounded.

If Wen Zhenmeng is the only one who agrees with the construction of the railway, then the ministers are angry and beat him, and he Wen Zhenmeng is helpless even if he is the first assistant of the cabinet, because the law does not blame the public, unless Wen Zhenmeng has the ability to squeeze out all the ministers.

But now that Min Hong has learned, the meaning is different!

This shows that the cabinet has reached a consensus on the construction of the railway.

If you go up and beat people now, it's obviously inappropriate.

Everyone's eyes changed and fell on the other three ministers.

Sun Chengzong stood there, frowned, and finally arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the construction of the railway is a big matter, and the minister does not disapprove of it, but feels that it is appropriate to be quiet and not move now, and the minister opposes the construction of the railway." ”

Liu Zongzhou, a generation of great Confucianism and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, came out of the list and arched his hand: "The minister seconded what Lord Wen said, as long as the construction of the railway does not require the household department to allocate money, the minister has no opinion. ”

Xu Guangqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not express his position, and his eyelids drooped and did not move.

Three of the five ministers agreed, and in fact, it had already been decided that the emperor's decree would be passed smoothly.

After all, no matter how good the General Administration Department is, he will not dare to confront the two super forces of the cabinet and the imperial power.

The ministers suddenly understood!

But Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the throne, was not calm.

What's going on?

Didn't the ministers all oppose Su Baiyi's construction of the railway? Why do you agree to it now?

There must be something hidden.

Zhu Youzhen was a little restless, faintly worried, since he was in charge of the entire Ming Dynasty at the age of sixteen, with the help of the imperial sister-in-law, he controlled the court step by step to expel Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, and several years of court life tempered his sensitivity and made him smell a smell of conspiracy.

But no matter what the conspiracy is, as long as the decree for the construction of the railway can be issued from the top to the top, the purpose must be achieved.

"Well, since the cabinet agrees, the celebrant has no opinion!" Chongzhen's eyes looked at Yin Yunting, the leader of the General Administration: "What does the General Administration Department have to say?" ”

Yin Yunting arched his hand: "Everything is subject to Your Majesty's will." ”

"So be it." Zhu Youzhen nodded: "The decree has been issued, and the General Administration Department will immediately notify all localities that the government must unify the decree, and the state capitals through which the railways pass will work together to cooperate with Su Baiyi." ”

"Yes!"

A seemingly unsolvable problem was solved in this way. Zhu Youzhen was a little inexplicable in his heart, but he was always happy, and the rest was to wait patiently, wait for Su Baiyi to build the railway, and wait for ten years of drought.

Ten years later, I am only 30 years old, which is a good opportunity for ZTE Daming.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, and he was full of ambition.

The court was quiet, some people were indifferent, and some people were indignant but helpless.

Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, suddenly stood up, took out a letter from his arms, and said: "Minister, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, report to Your Majesty if you have something!" ”

"Quasi-play!" Wang Chengen waved the dust and said expressionlessly.

Then Xiong Ming took a good time, puffed his chest and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”

"Let's do it first, and we'll discuss whether you're guilty or not later!"

"Yes!" Xiong Mingyu said: "Report to Your Majesty, Shandong Patrol according to the Imperial History Wang Daochun urgent report, on February 20, Dengzhou aided Liaodong 800 to ride to Wuqiao County encountered heavy snow, due to insufficient supplies caused a mutiny among the sergeants. General Kong Youde was afraid of the crime and rebelled, and the handsome army returned to Dengzhou, and Dengzhou was in chaos! ”

"What?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly stood up from his seat, his face pale: "On the contrary, what about the governor of Dengzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Xiong Mingyu said: "Dengzhou Governor Sun Yuanhua, after learning that Kong Youde had rebelled, ordered Zhang Dake, the chief military officer of Dengzhou, and Zhang Tao, the garrison, to respond to the enemy. After the thief army attacked Dengzhou City, Geng Zhongming and Chen Guangfu of the Chinese army in the city opened the door in response, and Dengzhou City fell! ”

"Damn, damn it!" Zhu Youzhen picked up the big fist of the sand bowl and hit the armrest of the dragon chair with a heavy punch, but he didn't expect to use too much force, the back of his right hand broke the skin, and the blood flowed down.

After Wang Chengen on the side saw it, he said directly, "The slave should die", and then urgently ordered the little eunuch to call the imperial doctor.

Chongzhen roared angrily and said, "No need, I can't die." Xiong Mingyu continued to say. ”

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, since the Jingjing, the vassal kings have played two small fights, and the White Lotus Sect and other local rebels have also risen and fallen, but if it is said that there are really not many generals who rebelled.

When it comes to mutinies, the only two mutinies occurred during the Jiajing period, one was the Datong Mutiny and the other was the Liaodong Mutiny.

But now, during the Chongzhen period, I didn't see such a big mess in Shandong at a glance, so it's no wonder that Zhu Youzhen wasn't angry. If this matter is in the history books, it will be a 100% stain on him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Mingyu continued: "According to the report of Wang Daochun, the Shandong Inspector, after the rebels captured Dengzhou, they invaded Laizhou again, and on the 26th, they seized three lucky ships from the Fujian Navy Division, cruising on the Bohai Sea, and intercepting the merchants from the north and south of Tianjin. ”

"What is Yu Dacheng doing?" Zhu Youzhen asked with a strong suppression of anger.

"Yu, Yu Dacheng!" Xiong Mingyu paused and said: "Wang Daochun is as timid as a mouse, and when he mutinied, he only shrank in the mansion, and he didn't care about the details. ”

"Which one is Shandong's participation in politics?"

"Ask back to Your Majesty!" Min Hongxue, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, arched his hand and said: "Shandong's participation in politics is Xu Congzhi. ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand: "Ge Yu Dacheng is the governor of Shandong, Jinyiwei will take him to Beijing for questioning, and Xu Congzhi will make up for the governor's position, and he must hold Laizhou." ”

"Yes!" Min Hongxue stepped back.

"What should I do?" Zhu Youzhen took out his right hand and asked Wang Chenen to bandage it carefully, and gently knocked on the dragon chair with his left hand, the golden wings behind the black gauze hat shook slightly, and his eyes were shining: "Everyone, Shandong is in chaos, let's talk about what to do!" ”

The emperor looked at the main hall.

The courtiers looked at the floor!

Then, the entire hall of more than a hundred people was all selectively silent, and not a single one spoke.

It fully reflects the characteristics of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty: when the dog eats the dog, they rush up one by one with their heads in their hands, and even if they break their heads, they will not regret it, but once something happens, when the emperor needs them to do something practical, they are silent.

"What? Now I don't say anything, wasn't that the case when I joined Su Baiyi just now......"

The ministers were ashamed, and they bowed their heads one by one.

Xu Guangqi, who had been silent, stood up, sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen smiled: "What is Xu Aiqing's crime?" ”

"Sun Yuanhua said that it was recommended by the minister in his early years, and now that there is such a big mess in Dengzhou, he cannot escape his responsibility, and the minister is also responsible." Xu Guangqi took a deep breath: "Please resign...... minister"

Resign if you don't agree.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "Xu Aiqing, don't joke with me, right now Shandong is the time of chaos, and when the country is employing people, you can't resign!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi's resignation looked very sincere, but in fact there was not much sincerity, after a little performance, he began to get down to business: "Your Majesty, the construction of the captives has been a disaster in Liaodong all the year round, causing most of the people of Liaodong to flow into Shandong, as far as the ministers know, there are no less than 100,000 people, such as Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Chen Guangfu and others in this mutiny, all of whom are Liaodong soldiers and civilians. The people of Shandong have always disliked the people of Liaodong, and the minister heard that Kong Youde led troops to aid Liaodong this time, and all the counties in Shandong were closed to the market, and Kong Youde had no money but could not supply, so it became a mutiny.

Since the time of Emperor Taizu in our dynasty, the land of Liaodong implemented the garrison of the people, and its military and civilian integration, the people are soldiers, and the soldiers are the people; Liaodong refugees and the people of Shandong have always been at odds, if they take the opportunity to make trouble, fearing that the rebels will surge and it will be difficult to save them, in the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty should immediately transfer the Beijing camp into Shandong to quell the rebellion, and at the same time order Henan, Tianjinwei, and Dongjiang troops to reinforce. ”
