Nothing was said all night. But the next day, the war in the north was unfavorable, and the news that Xuanfu had fallen into a crisis still spread and became known to many people in the capital.www.biquge.info

Although the Ministry of War wants to block the news, after all, such things are likely to cause panic, and the incident of the Shanxi Datong Mutiny a few years ago is still vivid, who dares to ignore it? However, the personnel of the yamen in Beijing are intertwined, and there is no impermeable wall, so Zhang Xueyan played the matter truthfully at the court meeting over there, but the people here are already full of rumors.

Yang Zhen rode his horse and walked on the street leading to the Zhenfu Division, and from time to time he could hear the discussions and opinions of the surrounding people on this, and listen to the worries in their words, as if these people were all high-ranking officials in the DPRK and the border generals, as if as long as the imperial court did not transfer troops from other places to support as he thought, this important town in the north would completely fall into the hands of the enemy.

In this regard, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile wryly, but he was helpless. This is the characteristics of the capital, these people in the political center of the Ming Dynasty seem to be born with the heart of worrying about the country and the people, and they all have the ability to guide the country and scold Fang Xuan. It's just that these people, how much can they know the real thoughts within the court? Who knows how those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China will react to this?

Returning to the Zhenfu Division and sitting back in his public hall, Yang Zhen immediately passed over a few important subordinates and asked them about the reactions of the main officials in the capital from last night to now. He believed that although Zhang Xueyan only went to the palace and met with Shoufu Shen Shixing, with the well-informed officials in the capital, he was afraid that this night, many people would not be able to sleep well and make some moves.

On the surface, the siege of Xuanfu is only a matter of the Ministry of War, but in fact, the ingenuity contained in it is not something that a Ministry of War or the Cabinet can decide, and there are too many yamen in the DPRK and the Central Committee to be connected.

Sure enough, someone immediately reported to Yang Zhen the content of the main officials of the yamen who had received in the morning about the movements in the palace last night. Now Jinyiwei's spies have spread all over the mansions of many officials, keeping an eye on their daily actions, which is why Jinyiwei is feared by officials in the DPRK and China.

After Yang Zhen took it and quickly flipped through it, there was a sneer on his face: "These adults are really bothered, this is just one night, let them work so hard, it seems that this Xuanfu matter really affects the interests of many people." ”

"That's nature. As far as the news obtained from the household department is concerned, in fact, in the past six months, some people have withheld no less than 10,000 stone of military rations from the towns in the north, and as for military uniforms and weapons, the numbers are even more huge. Yu Yao responded with a smile: "Presumably some people will feel scared because of this." ”

"In addition, because I have been peaceful in the north for a long time, even if there are any wars, the scale is very small, and most of them end in victory, so many people opportunistically arrange their relatives and the like into those border towns as generals, they can't do anything else, eat empty salaries, drink the blood of soldiers, but they are a top master. Now that this is happening, those people must be very flustered. Song Guang also said sarcastically.

Subsequently, some other subordinates who knew the inside story also continued to break the news of some dirty things that were actually known to everyone in private, and Yang Zhen frowned again and again when he heard it, and finally could only wave his hand: "Enough, don't say it again!" ”

In the past, Yang Zhen was still very strange, with the huge body of the Ming Dynasty, how could he be beaten to death by a few bandits, and tens of thousands of barbarians. Now, he knew that this was the result of the whole country being rotten, and that when the frontier army had these fatal problems, the rest of the country would only get worse.

Although he has done a lot of tricks in Datong before, it is obvious that this is just a drop in the bucket. When there was no strong enemy who kept oppressing them, those generals in the border areas were afraid that they would already spend their minds on how to accumulate wealth and how to go further in the officialdom.

In the original history, the army of the Ming Dynasty was so erosive that it was not until a few decades later that even a few groups of peasant rebels could not be wiped out, causing the Central Plains to be full of beacons, and finally giving the pig tails in the Northeast a chance to usurp the world.

In fact, when he realized these problems, Yang Zhen also had the consideration of making a statement to the Son of Heaven, but thinking that this was related to the stability of the whole world after all, and thinking that there were still decades to go, he could slowly figure it out, and wait for Wanli to be older, and it would not be too late to start when the imperial power was heavier, so he dragged it down.

Unexpectedly, the unexpected changes came so quickly, and the Mongolian people, who had become unfashionable, really posed a terrible threat to the border of the Ming Dynasty again. In this way, I can't delay any longer, and I must do something more for the world, but also for myself and my children and grandchildren.

And this crisis may also be a turning point for Daming. Can he use this to urge the Son of Heaven to rectify the border army? At the same time, maybe you can also use this as an opportunity to clean up this smoky court. Thinking of this, Yang Zhen's gaze suddenly flashed like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

Seeing that Yang Zhen had been silent with a gloomy face after interrupting everyone's speech, this made the subordinates around him also frightened, and even their breathing slowed down a lot. And after seeing the fierceness that flashed in his eyes, everyone was even more heartbroken, waiting for his instructions with bated breath.

Sure enough, Yang Zhen slowly spoke: "Our Jinyiwei has always been the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven. But many times, because we are trapped by the situation, even if we know something, we have to pretend not to know and dare not report it to the Son of Heaven. But now, the situation in the army has reached the point where it is difficult to return, and if it continues like this, no one knows how much disaster it will cause, so we can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb! ”

"What does the governor mean......" Everyone was stunned, and their expressions became extremely solemn. This is an enemy move against almost all Manchu officials, and if one is not good, it will be counterattacked. Even if Yang Zhen is a favored minister who is deeply valued by the Son of Heaven, if he really becomes everyone's public enemy, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to blindly protect him, right?

"If they don't say something, I'll say it. Isn't this the value of our Jinyiwei's existence? Yang Zhen's eyes shone brightly, obviously he had made up his mind completely.

Everyone was silent for a while, only Shen Yan bowed his hand after being slightly surprised: "It is really a blessing for me for the Governor to think like this." In fact, this idea has been subordinated a long time ago, but because there are too many people involved, they have never dared to mention it. But today, things have come to this point, and we really can't stay out of it anymore! Now that the governor has this determination, his subordinates are determined to follow it with all their might, and they will never give up! ”

After listening to his impassioned statement, the others also quickly came back to their senses. Although some people are still hesitant in their hearts, for fear that they will become public enemies, they dare not show it in front of Yang Dudu. Therefore, after a little hesitation, everyone responded one after another: "I am willing to follow the governor and go to the soup and fire!" ”

"Good!" Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction. Although he could see that many people still had doubts, it was unavoidable. In fact, it was himself, and he didn't mean to completely let it go. But what he wants to do about it can't be changed.

After unifying his thoughts, Yang Zhen expressed his initial idea: "In fact, this time the matter is very serious, maybe the upright people in the DPRK and the Central Committee will take advantage of this to speak out, so that we may save our hands and feet." However, the world is unpredictable, but we also have to be prepared, if there is no relevant statement at today's court meeting, then it is time for us to take action.

"And what I want you to do is to find out all the illegal things related to the border towns or the border army, and I need people, time and evidence, and I will use this to play the Son of Heaven at that time. Do you all understand? ”

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly answered.

"Also, today's incident is only known to our Jinyi Guard, if it spreads......" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's gaze was like a substance on everyone's faces, which shocked many people's bodies, and then repeatedly assured that this matter would not be leaked.

"Okay, in the past few days, everyone should worry more, it is about my future, and there must be no sloppiness!" Yang Zhen waved his hand at this time, signaling that everyone could disperse.

After everyone left, Hu Ge stayed, still with a solemn face.

"How?" Yang Zhen glanced at him and asked.

"My subordinates admire the governor's decision to forget about your selfishness, but there is one thing that my subordinates want to remind."

"But what?"

"In addition to ourselves, the situation of the Mongolian people is also worth noting. Although we had received a lot of information from them before, we never thought that they would be so powerful. So...... Next, for the imperial court, how to defeat the enemy is also the top priority, and we should also do our best to do our best. Hugo said calmly.

Seeing this subordinate talking about his opinions so eloquently, Yang Zhen's face unconsciously showed a smile, and he had indeed grown and progressed a lot. So he nodded lightly and said: "Your consideration is not unreasonable, internal worries and external troubles are as important, and we really shouldn't pay attention to them." In this case, since you have raised this point, the news about the Mongolian people will be left to you to oversee. ”

After Hu Ge was ordered to leave, Yang Zhen fell into contemplation again. This action of the Mongolian people is indeed very unexpected and unhistorical. In this way, some of the things that I am most afraid of will happen have finally come, so as a traverser, does I still have the ability to save all this?
