Recently, the little emperor of Wanli has been in a very irritable mood, and the reason for this is because of Yang Zhen's affairs in Shanxi. The ministers of the pen & fun &www.biquge.info amp; cabinet had different opinions, some said that they were old and serious, and thought that this was the best choice to quell the local rebellion, and some said that they tolerated the traitors, and felt that they should not spare the rebellious soldiers so easily, which would make the garrisons in other places scramble to follow suit, and the court would be in trouble.

In Wanli's own opinion, Yang Zhen and them are really a little unappetizing to compromise like this. The young and vigorous little emperor had his own momentum, hoping to deal with the rebellion with a more iron fist. But whether it was Zhong Yu, the chief envoy, or Yang Zhen, the deputy envoy, they were all chosen by him, and as the Son of Heaven, he naturally couldn't admit his mistakes, which made Wanli very eager to ask Yang Zhen and them face-to-face, why they made such a choice.

And today, when Wanli had just finished the early dynasty and planned to take a break to see if there was any government affairs that needed to be handled by himself, he was reported that Zhong Yu and Yang Zhen were waiting to be summoned in front of the palace gate. Although there were still many courtiers waiting for him to meet, Wanli, who had been waiting a little impatiently, still ordered without the slightest hesitation: "Xuan them come in to meet them." ”

Seeing that the emperor was so eager to see Yang Zhen and them, Feng Bao's eyebrows, who were accompanying him, couldn't help but jump, and he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. What kind of spell did this Yang Zhen put on His Majesty, so that he could be so trusted, and he could be summoned as soon as he came?

But even if Gonggong Feng was dissatisfied, after the holy order was issued, Yang Zhen and the two of them quickly rushed over to see His Majesty. After a set of courtiers' etiquette, the two stood respectfully two or three zhang away from the emperor, bowing their heads and waiting for Wanli to ask.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was thinner and darker than before, Wanli felt a lot less dissatisfied in his heart. In any case, Yang Zhen did his best to go, even if he didn't do the errand exactly as he wanted, but after all, there was hard work.

When Wanli thought of this, his face, which was still a little gloomy, eased a little, and said in a voice as calm as possible: "The two Aiqing went to Shanxi to quell the chaos this time, and it was really hard. I've heard a lot of people in Beijing talk about what you're doing there, and I'd like to hear what you have to say. ”

Although he lowered his head, Yang Zhen still noticed that there was a look of displeasure on the emperor's face, and it was obvious that he was coming for the two of them. This made him a little strange, and he didn't understand what kind of temper the little emperor was messing with. However, as a courtier, of course, it is impossible to ask directly, so he can only hide this question in his heart for the time being, and after making a look at Zhong Yu, he will talk about the actions of the two in Shanxi.

In fact, on the way to Beijing, Yang Zhen already had an overall consideration for seeing the emperor's reply. If you just talk about things simply like ordinary officials, you will definitely not make the emperor feel the hard work of himself and others, and the credit will have to be discounted. So this time, he didn't follow the previous rules, but talked in front of the emperor like a big book.

Yang Zhen started from the fact that they were attacked in the middle of the road, of course, he would not say that all this was done by Song Xueqiao in his team, and pushed the suspicion on those officials in Shanxi. Then he went all the way down, saying how the Shanxi officials disobeyed the yang and how they solicited bribes, and how he and Zhong Yu sternly refused and fought with them openly and secretly.

These contents are already very exciting, coupled with Yang Zhen's deliberate exaggeration of the difficulty of the choice and the danger of the situation, which makes the people who listen to them feel even more nervous for them. After all, in this era, the storytelling industry has not yet been able to penetrate into the palace, and the emperor has rarely heard such a wonderful story, and after only listening to it for a short time, he left all his previous grievances behind him, and began to tighten up what happened to Yang Zhen and them.

When he heard that Yang Zhen and the others finally got the evidence that Liu Yingji and them forced the soldiers against the border through visiting the people, and saw that everything was going to fall into place, the emperor couldn't help but say hello. Then he realized that he was a little out of shape, smiled abruptly, and continued to listen.

And then the sudden change, Yang Zhen and the others were calculated, and they were ambushed by the Tartars in Baishan Mountain and other thrilling turns, the emperor could no longer control the tension in his heart, his fists were clenched, and he said in a slightly trembling voice: "Yang Qing, how did you escape this catastrophe?" I also received a report from Shanxi that you and many soldiers had died on the battlefield. ”

Yang Zhen saw that the emperor looked concerned, and he didn't feel a little moved in his heart, Wanli really regarded himself as a friend. So he saluted again: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, and fortunately thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, and with the full rescue of those Jingying and Jinyi guards, the minister was able to fight out of the siege of the Tartars and escape with his life." However, although we fell into their trap this time, we also found an opportunity to solve Liu Yingji in one fell swoop. ”

Then, Yang Zhen explained how he used the battle between the various tribes of the Mongolian people, and the strength of several small tribes such as the Gaiqi tribe, to take advantage of the autumn hunting and defenselessness of the Chahar people to exterminate their entire clan. After listening to it directly, the little emperor's blood was spurting, and he couldn't help but applaud in a row: "Okay, you should deal with those Tartars like this, so that they don't dare to violate my Ming Boundary again in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation, and the minister thought so at the time. Subsequently, the minister sent Mao Da, the chief of the Chahar Department, to return to Datong, and then took great righteousness to the generals there, letting them know about Liu Yingji's previous despicable methods, which convicted him...... "Yang Zhen briefly talked about the final turn, but hid several major families and the role Zhong Yu played in it.

Although Li, Zhong and other families had set themselves up before, Yang Zhen did not mean to eradicate them immediately, so he did not bring them out. As for Zhong Yu's role in this matter is too embarrassing, it is not to mention that it is not good.

Zhong Yu naturally understood Yang Zhen's thoughts, and couldn't help but glance at him gratefully, and did not object to this. The two are now extremely close comrades-in-arms, not to mention that this is for his sake, even if it has nothing to do with him, it is impossible for Zhong Yu to dismantle Yang Zhen's platform at this time.

But even these contents are thrilling enough to make Wanli a little dumbfounded. After a while, he sighed lightly: "I can't imagine that the two Aiqing have encountered so many twists and turns in Shanxi, if it weren't for your repeated use of tactics to save the day, I'm afraid that not to mention that you can complete the mission of quelling the chaos, it is a luxury to return safely, I am really a little demanding of you." ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, since the ministers have the emperor's order, they should do their best to share the worries of Your Majesty, and they dare not call any credit. But ......" Yang Zhen paused as he spoke, as if he had mustered up courage, and continued: "The minister has a few words, but he must say them. ”

"Oh? Say it. At this time, the Son of Heaven no longer had the initial unhappiness, his expression had eased a lot, and he even had some apologies.

"When the minister entered the capital yesterday, I heard that some people were very dissatisfied with what Lord Zhong and the minister did in Shanxi, thinking that the minister was shielding those thieves and would bring trouble to the court. Yang Zhen said, putting on a fierce appearance of defending to the end.

For this point, in fact, Wanli himself has not been able to turn the corner, even if he already understands Yang Zhen's difficulties somewhat. So he frowned slightly: "What did Yang Qing say?" Isn't it right that they mutinied? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, of course it is a big mistake to mutiny, but if you are forced to do so, it will be forgivable. Those soldiers have always been loyal to the imperial court, and they have defended our Ming frontier with their own flesh and blood, but what did they get in exchange? It is the contempt of the superiors, and the exploitation of the officials who do not treat them as human beings at all. Even, even the military land they relied on for their livelihood had been taken away by people like Liu Yingji before this time, and they were forced to trade with the Mongolian people so that those big men could have more money. With all this, which bloody man can endure silently all the time?

"To put it mildly, even if you are a loyal minister, you need to have a certain amount of gain to serve the court. Soldiers like them who risked their lives to guard the border were robbed of even the resources to survive, and no one could bear it. That's why there was this mutiny. Therefore, in dealing with this matter, after discussing with Lord Zhong, he felt that if those rebellious troops could be allowed to submit to obedience, and then let them have land to cultivate and food to eat, then everything before would not be a problem. I hope that Your Majesty will be clear! After saying this, Yang Zhen knelt down.

Seeing this, Zhong Yu on the side also knelt down: "Your Majesty, what Yang Zhen said is exactly what the minister wants to say, although those soldiers have made a big mistake, but they remember their hard work, and they are really forced to be helpless this time, please let Your Majesty be merciful and spare them!" ”

Wanli didn't expect that there would be such a twist and turn, and he began to feel that his previous anger was a little untenable. Feng Bao on the side squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Zhen: "What a quick kid." As soon as he arrived in the capital, he knew how to deal with the current situation, and he really succeeded this time. ”

Just as Feng Bao thought, Yang Zhen's words today were all useful, in order to deal with the Manchu Dynasty's statement that they spared the rebellious army. As long as the Son of Heaven can admit that his actions are good today, then no one will dare to talk about this after that.

This is Yang Zhen's consistent style of acting, it is difficult to have a chance to win with passive defense, and only by taking the initiative and taking the right to speak in his own hands can he control the situation. Now, it just depends on what the emperor means.
