Chapter 406: Sediment Rises

A few days ago, Zhu Qiming heard that Chen Xun had given Emperor Jingtai a very long manuscript, which was to the effect that although Luo Tong, the deputy imperial envoy of the military affairs of the Admiral Xuanfu, was a civilian official, he was well versed in military affairs, and his talents were beyond the reach of others. The capital is like the heart, the border city is like siblings, there is a priority between the two, so when the imperial court uses talents like Luo Tong, it should avoid the light and the heavy, avoid the slow, and order Luo Tong to return to Beijing to train the Beijing army, so that it can be called useful. Also, Yang Hong, Yang Jun and his son are all good generals, and their subordinates are all good cavalry, and the border city defenders focus on defending the city rather than in the field, so the good war soldiers led by Yang Hong and his son are placed in the Xuanfu to defend the city, it can be said that it is used in the wrong place, it is better to let it enter Beijing, and Shi Heng will train the Beijing army with Yang Hong and Luo Tong, and after the three of them have trained the Beijing army for a year and a half, the Beijing army will be of great use.

Although Yu Qian is not mentioned in this recital, it is obvious that Yu Qian is being rejected in a roundabout way, with the intention of abolishing the power of Yu Qian's governor of the Jingjun, or at least to disperse the power of Yu Qian's overseer, and Luo Tong will take over part of it.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has emphasized checks and balances, and now Yu Qian and Shi Heng are weighted, and the imperial court transferred Luo Tong and Yang Hong to Beijing to divide power, which is also the norm of officialdom, and it is not worth making a fuss, and Emperor Jingtai's vision is unlikely to completely overlap with Yu Qian, so he adopted the suggestion of Chen Xun, a confidant, and named Yang Hong as the Marquis of Changping, and ordered Luo Tong, Yang Hong, and Yang Jun to lead the army into Beijing.

As everyone knows, Yu Qian vigorously selected the good and eliminated the inferior in Beijing, rectified military discipline, offended many military forces, and then attracted many civilian criticism, Emperor Jingtai and Chen Xun acted like this, which was tantamount to providing fire support to those who were dissatisfied with Yu Qian. More importantly, the Beijing army's "reform of the old and the new" has reached a critical moment of gnawing hard bones, at this time the division of power, because of the many political departments, no one in the Beijing camp can really take charge of the work, and most of the reform measures will be abandoned halfway.

Yu Qian panicked. He just wants to be a secretary of the military department, and repeatedly resigned from the positions of Shaobao and governor, and Emperor Jingtai was not allowed, he could only wear several positions, in his position, he naturally wanted to seek his government, Yu Qian didn't want to eat in the corpse.

However, Yu Qian wanted to do something far-reaching for the Ming Dynasty in a resolute manner, but the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty were too heavy, and when it touched the interests of officers at all levels in the Beijing camp, the resistance was still so great.

In view of this, Yu Qian didn't want to intensify the internal contradictions in Emperor Jingtai's core decision-making circle at this time, but Chen Xun's rhetoric was too absurd, not to mention anything else, is Luo Tong familiar with military affairs? Are Yang Hong's father and son good at fighting?

Since the first time he entered Kou Da, Yang Jun lost several cities in Xuanfu in a row, Luo Tong and Yang Hong retreated in the castle to close the city to protect themselves, and they never faced the Tartar thieves at all from beginning to end, and they never fought in battle, how could they be known about military affairs and good at war?

Just when the first army was defeated in the capital, and the Xuanfu Tartar thieves retreated when they heard the news, Zhu Qian, the governor of the right capital, led the army to intercept the Tartar thieves and failed, and the official army killed more than 120 people. The Ministry of War once impeached Yang Hong's father and son for supporting the army.

Yu Qian thought about it again and again, and submitted a transcript to Emperor Jingtai that was not too intense and had a reserved attitude.

"The erratic, Shangshu and Hanlin Academy bachelor Chen Xun and others said: Yang Hong and his son Jun are good at fighting, and they both stay in Beijing. The ministers who steal the Xuanfu are the fences of the Beijing Division; Those who are mediocre, the gateway of the capital, have no barriers, and the portal is not solid and can avoid the infestation of thieves. Now Hong, Jun and the army led by the army to stay in Beijing, then Xuanfu, Juyong is inevitably empty, in case of rebellion, take advantage of the void into the Kou, according to the Xuanfu near the nest, the army back and forth plunder, although do not offend my Gyeonggi, and Gyeonggi can be alone? Since the rebellion against the prisoners, Jun Wangfeng rushed to the ground, and abandoned the eleven cities such as Dushi and Yongning, so that the border was depressed, the garrison was exhausted, and the captives came and went as if they were in a no-man's land, and the people who heard it hated it incomparably. Although it does not save the danger of civil engineering, in order to solve the difficulties of the monarch's father, it is enough to support the Beijing master and Juyong, and receive the momentum of the same place. Today, the Xuanfu and Juyong soldiers will be gone, and they will be abandoned! The survivors are just tired soldiers, and the ownerless will control them, and can they be kept from being scattered? It's a worrying thing, so don't worry about it. The ministers are in charge of military and political affairs, and they dare not be silent when they say something, and the country is troubled today, and they should use the measures to discuss the public, and if the public opinion is not in agreement, then the success of the matter is not expected, and the blunt is not expected. Hong and Jun are staying in Beijing, how should they deal with border affairs? Or elect a member of the minister who is brave and old, honest and quiet, and serve as the chief military officer to guard the Xuanfu, and a member of the capable and brave military minister to garrison the mediocre, and the original official and military should also be repatriated at their discretion, so that they can guard each other and not make mistakes. ”

It should be said that Yu Qian is worthy of being an extraordinary person who takes care of the overall situation, he saved enough face for Yang Hong in the notebook, and did not mention Luo Tong and his people throughout the book, obviously unwilling to entangle in the matter of transferring Luo Tong and Yang Hong into Beijing, but for the sake of the overall situation, thinking that Xuanfu is the barrier of the Beijing Division, and Juyong Pass is the gateway of the Beijing Division, and must not be abandoned. Suggestion: Since it is a fait accompli for Luo Tong and Yang Hong to enter Beijing, it is advisable for the imperial court to send other civil and military ministers with outstanding talents to Xuanfu and Juyongguan to guard the town.

A group of people are not as thoughtful as Yu Qian, they have long seen that Luo Tong, Yang Hong, and Yang Jun are not pleasing to the eye, so they ran to the front of the emperor and directly reprimanded Chen Xun as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but he strongly recommended Luo Tong, this move is suspected of favoritism, and Luo Tong and Yang Hong father and son really have a great relationship with the defeat of Tumubao, since the court thinks that Luo Tong and Yang Hong can be reused, it is okay, but it can be reused, but Xuanfu and Juyong Pass cannot afford to lose, and the court also asked the court to elect capable ministers who can compete with Luo Tong and Yang Hong to go to Xuanfu and Juyong Pass to guard.

Emperor Jingtai realized that he was casual for a while, and he actually made a pot of raw rice, so he instructed the courtiers to elect the civil and military officials who replaced Luo Tong, Yang Hong, and Yang Jun to guard the Xuanfu according to what Yu Qian and Liuke said. However, don't look at the six branches of the matter, they are famous for their outspokenness, but their words are hidden in the mysteries, and there are pits everywhere in and out of the words! If nothing else, let's take the names of Luo Tong and Yang Hong, when the court is discussed, the successor will probably be the first to disagree: What's more, where did the few civil and military officials who didn't fight a battle come from? Does it live up to its name? Lao Tzu has fought bloody battles with Tartar thieves, so he is not as good as those few war avoiders!

It is conceivable that the aftershocks caused by this incident will last for a long time.

At this moment, hearing the Empress Dowager ask whether there will be changes in the DPRK and China, Zhu Qiming will certainly not look at Chen Xun's recommendation of Luo Tong in isolation, he will arrange many major events in the DPRK and China one by one, take a closer look, and get a glimpse of Yu Qian's situation may become increasingly difficult. When the society was in danger, Yu Qian could be described as a rare treasure, but after the world returned to peace, with the accumulation of political abuses, Yu Qian will inevitably become a thorn in the side of many people.

A generation of famous ministers is still like this, and a prince who seems a little different may be pushed to the forefront again in the near future!

Zhu Qiming had already been mentally prepared, so when he thought of his future situation, he could still be relieved, and he just wanted to wait for the Holy Empress Dowager to start the topic.

The Holy Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "King Yue, why do you think the mourning family was embarrassed at the beginning? Many things are not as simple as they seem, she is smart but she is clever and mistaken! ”

Hearing this, although Zhu Qiming had already thought through the past, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
