Hearing this, the expressions of the courtiers who were full of sadness and had no way to deal with it all changed, and most of them frowned, looking quite dissatisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Jinyiwei has won the trust of the Son of Heaven over the years, and any news can be directly submitted to Wanli, but now after all, it is in the court, and it is the time when the monarch and ministers are playing the right game on national affairs, how can anyone dare to disturb the affairs of Jinyiwei, are there any rules in this palace? A few officials have secretly made up their minds, and after they go back, they will ask the imperial history to participate in a few books on this matter, so as to suppress the arrogance of Jinyiwei, otherwise it will be a disaster after all.

It's Wanli, and it's a little surprising to hear this, what could be more important than the current situation in the southwest? But when he was about to take a bite back and look at the past, the words that came to his lips changed: "Go, bring people in." "This person who came to report this matter is Sun Hai, with the emperor's understanding of him, he will never play any trivial things to himself in front of the ministers.

"This ......" Those courtiers were even more annoyed when they heard the emperor's attitude, but the emperor's dictation had been issued, and they were not easy to object to for a while, so they could only look at each other and start to stay there.

If this happened a few years ago, even if Zhang Juzheng didn't open his mouth, the officials would immediately attack, suggest suggestions, and criticize criticism, so as to persuade the emperor. But now, when Zhang Juzheng was forced to leave Beijing, the authority of the little emperor was no longer comparable to yesterday, and the courtiers had to weigh it even if they wanted to make a statement. What's more, they are indeed weak in their hearts during today's court meeting, and they dare not provoke the Son of Heaven.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it would be a good choice for someone else with a brocade guard to make the emperor's attention change slightly. With this in mind, the ministers did not object, but just stood quietly.

After a while, Yu Yao and Song Guang walked into the hall a little awkwardly, first kowtowing respectfully to the emperor, and then standing there in a regular manner, looking quite honest. Although because Yang Zhen was not in the capital, these two officials who were now in charge of the affairs of Jinyiwei and Zhenfu Division on the bright side had also entered the palace several times and seen the emperor in person, but like today, it was the first time they had met the monarch and ministers during the court meeting, and they were naturally uneasy in their hearts.

"Yu Yao and Song Guang, why did you two suddenly come to see Yu Zhen?" The emperor didn't have the heart to drag, so he quickly asked.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Yang Yan has important things to do to entertain Your Majesty, and the ministers are just entering the palace on their behalf." After taking a deep breath, Song Guangcai replied.

"Huh? Yang Qing, has he returned to Beijing? In that case, why didn't he come to see me himself? When the emperor heard that it was Yang Zhen, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked. At this time, he needs someone to help and encourage him the most, and it is obvious that Yang Zhen is the most suitable object.

"Back to Your Majesty, Yang Yan did not return to Beijing, but in Guilin, Guangxi, because something happened there, so he sent a letter back." Yu Yao said, took out a transcription from his arms and handed it over.

Wanli took the notebook from the eunuch's hand, and didn't just look at it like that, but responded thoughtfully: "It turns out that he is still in Guilin...... Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and stared at the two courtiers with surprised eyes: "Is he in Guilin?" Guilin in Guangxi? ”

"Exactly."

At this moment, the other courtiers also showed strange looks, and they didn't know what they felt for a while. Now everyone knows what the situation is in the southwest, and Yang Zhen is actually in such a place, his safety is very difficult to say.

After a pause, Song Guangcai continued: "Your Majesty, now that there is a sudden turmoil in the southwest, there are Tusi troops from all sides who have rebelled, and many prefectures and counties are occupied by them, and Guilin, as the capital of Guangxi, is their inevitable goal. Yang Yanshi found out about this matter in advance, so he joined forces with local officials, such as Governor Tang Guangchen, to lead the garrison to resist the rebellion......"

As soon as he said this, everyone was even more moved, but they didn't expect Yang Zhen to not only be there, but also take the initiative to participate in the battle with the rebels, which made the officials surprised and a little more admired. Although the Jinyi Guard has been hanging above their heads like a sharp sword, they don't have the slightest good impression of Yang Zhen, and some of them have dark thoughts, and even thought that Yang Zhen would die at the hands of the chaotic army like this. But now, when they heard that he actually took the initiative to fight the rebels with local officials, many people actually had some respect for him.

Of course, this is because they don't know that the real fuse of this southwest rebellion was also lit by Yang Zhen himself, otherwise I am afraid that most people would have criticized him, and even bluntly asked the emperor to kill Yang Zhen to stabilize the chaos in the southwest. It's a pity that because the two places are too far apart, it is impossible for the parties concerned to come and tell the truth, so it seems that it is impossible for people in the capital to know this, at least for now.

Wanli's expression also became very fast, and the dragon's body trembled, and he almost stood up from the throne. After a long while, he stabilized his mind and asked in a somewhat anxious voice: "Then Yang Qing is all right there, can they still stop the rebels?" After speaking, he remembered that what Yang Zhen wanted to say was in the recital, so he quickly opened the recital in his hand again and looked at it at a glance.

Since the emperor asked, Song Guang and the others couldn't help but answer, so they hurriedly said according to the meaning of the handbook sent by Yang Zhen: "Although the rebels are not small, because the soldiers and civilians in the city are prepared, and they are even more united, after several bloody battles, they still blocked their attacks......"

"Good ......" The emperor also saw this, and couldn't help but nod happily again and again: "Yang Qing is really my humerus, even if he is in the southwest, he is dedicated to doing things for the imperial court, and I really didn't misunderstand him." ”

"However, Yang Yan learned about the turmoil in the entire southwest later, for fear that His Majesty would be worried, so he sent a message back, wanting his ministers to tell His Majesty a few words - although the rebel army looks violent, the southwest officials and the army can't stop it, but in fact, this is just a false fire, as long as it is dealt with properly, it can be dismantled and extinguished without the need for the imperial court to transfer troops from the place!"

"Is that true?" Wanli's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, and his eyes quickly swept over Yang Zhen's recital, and sure enough, he found a similar expression in one of the paragraphs, which made his spirits lift again. If there is anyone in this court who he trusts the most, Yang Zhen must definitely be at the forefront. This is not only because Yang Zhen has never disappointed him, but also because he has always regarded Yang Zhen as his most credible friend, and never thought that Yang Zhen would deceive him.

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, and Yang Yan doesn't dare to do anything." Song Guang and Yu Yao hurriedly said with a straight face.

"Yes, he has never let me down, not before, and he won't ...... this time," Wanli also nodded vigorously and said.

Seeing this, "Your Majesty ......" Seeing this, some officials finally couldn't stand it, and immediately said: "The matter is very important, and the imperial court can't make arrangements for the southwest because of what Yang Zhen said." After all, it was a 200,000 chaotic army, even if Yang Zhen really mastered Guilin as he said in the play, but for the entire southwest, it was just a small land, and it couldn't solve the problem at all. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is a matter of stability in the world, and the people of the society will never listen to it and believe it. The minister didn't doubt Yang Zhen's loyalty and ability, but there must be no mistake in this matter, otherwise it would ......"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty......" ......

The officials began to speak one after another, just now they were still having a headache because they didn't know where to transfer troops to the southwest, but at this moment they were unexpectedly unanimous, thinking that the imperial court should not believe Yang Zhen's words so much, but should send troops to the southwest.

"This ......" Although Wanli is not very old, but after all, he is a person who has been deeply influenced by Zhang Juzheng, and he will not be too emotional in looking at things, seeing the officials say this, and after thinking about it carefully, he unconsciously agreed with their meaning, although he trusted Yang Zhen, but Jiangshan Sheji was not able to joke at will because of this, so he nodded and said: "What Qing and others said is not unreasonable, the rebellion in the southwest does have to be solved by transferring troops from elsewhere." However, the soldiers and horses in the north must not move, and only some men and horses were drawn from the capital and the southern provinces. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Seeing that the emperor was not stubborn, the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, there was another humanitarian: "However, Yang Yanshi can help the local officials to hold Guilin is indeed a great achievement, and if the imperial court wants to pacify the southwest, this Guilin does have a great role as the capital of Guangxi, and I hope that Your Majesty can issue an order for Yang Zhen and them to hold the city no matter what, and it is best to contain the rebel armies from all sides, so as to prevent them from taking the opportunity to invade the hinterland of the Central Plains......"

"Yes, as long as Guilin can really contain the overall situation with one city, then when the imperial court sends troops to quell the chaos, the threat of these rebels will not be great......"

For a while, the officials were all quick-witted, and they all spoke to the emperor, asking him to order Yang Zhen and them to defend Guilin City. But he completely forgot that it was a completely isolated city, and when the southwestern provinces had fallen, there were no reinforcements, not even a little food and grass that could be provided.

And Wanli obviously forgot this, at this moment his heart was full of trust in Yang Zhen, so he nodded: "This is exactly what I mean, I believe that Yang Qing will not disappoint me, and the other officials, civilians and soldiers in Guilin City will not disappoint me!" ”

At this moment, the monarchs and ministers who were panicked because of the shocking news just now were full of confidence, as if a Guilin city was in the hands of the imperial court, and it was enough to turn the whole situation around. Only Yu Song and the two frowned worriedly after hearing this: this time, the burden on Lord Yang is too heavy, once something really goes wrong, I'm afraid all the charges will fall on his head......
