Chapter 120: Liwei
Cheng Yue heard Xie Daoqing say this, and knew that she was still not giving up, so he asked, "Where are the officials who came back from Jiangxi?" β
Huang Wanshi just heard Cheng Yue say that the property of officials should be made public, and he didn't want to mention the matter of returning to Jiangxi, so he hid behind and shrunk up, not wanting to be noticed by Xie Daoqing. didn't expect Xie Daoqing to see it clearly from above, and he didn't forget about him. This old woman, what is she doing with such a good memory?
was named by Xie Daoqing, Huang Wanshi had no choice but to stand up, thinking that he would find a reason not to go to Jiangxi, and it was not difficult to let Liupingzhang arrange an official position for him in various yamen in Lin'an.
Huang Wanshi stood up and said, "Chenjiangxi has made Huang Wanshi here. β
Cheng Yue looked at it, this person was tall and fat, with a slight trace of horizontal flesh on his face, with three points of loyalty and seven points of shrewdness, and a faint trace of ruthlessness. Standing there, carefully observing Cheng Yue's face, seeing that Cheng Yue was looking at him, he immediately showed a flattering smile, which seemed harmless to humans and animals.
Cheng Yue put his hands behind his back, walked in front of him with a pace, and said without a smile: "Your Jiangxi system has done a good job." β
Huang Wanshi was startled, and he was afraid and annoyed in his heart.
Annoyed that Cheng Yue's tone was full of ridicule, with Cheng Yue's second-grade military attache position, but he regarded himself as a chicken and a dog, he had been an official for more than 20 years, and no one had ever humiliated himself so publicly, and the heavy gift a few days ago was given in vain. What I am afraid of is that Cheng Yue is different from others, and I don't know how he wants to treat himself. If he wanted to use the excuse of killing himself, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
Thinking of this, Huang Wanshi was extremely respectful, and said with a deep salute: "The lower officials are vulgar and ignorant. If there is a mistake. I also need to mention a lot more about the Metropolitan Governor. The lower officials were able to listen to the teachings of the Grand Duke. It is the blessing of the lower officials. As long as the governor gives an order, even if the subordinate officials are broken, they will definitely satisfy the governor. β
As far as the envoy is concerned, he is already a high-ranking official, and there is no need to grovel to a military attache like Cheng Yue. You must know that the status of the military generals of the Song Dynasty was not high, and even the civil officials of the fifth rank could show off their might in front of the military attachΓ©s of the second rank.
Cheng Yue ignored his rumors at all, and sneered: "You are treating the people harshly in Jiangxi, and you are in a hurry to loot. The people are miserable, and they all gnashed their teeth and scolded you. As soon as the Yuan army came, they all rushed to meet the Yuan army, and even helped the Yuan army attack the Song army. As for you, you fled all the way, never engaged the Yuan army, but trumpeted how invincible and fierce the Yuan army was. As a result, the Yuan army came all the way, and it was like a bamboo, and it was a good Jiangxi. You've been defeated. What else do you have to say? β
Huang Wanshi was shocked. Both legs were trembling, knowing that if Cheng Yue was convicted of the crime, he would definitely be ruined and have no place to die, and he had to find a way to delay for a few days. As long as this metropolitan governor does not come to judge him, he has a chance to live. So he desperately shouted loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor Rongyu, the Yuan Army is accustomed to using spies to cast some untruths everywhere to divide the ministers, and the Metropolitan Governor only hears some such one-sided words, how can it be done accurately?" The lower officials asked the metropolitan governor to summon the officials from all over Jiangxi and the subordinate officials and disciples before the lower officials to confront them face to face, so that they would be able to wash away the injustices suffered by the lower officials. β
Cheng Yue sneered: "What a wrongdoer!" Do you think I'm going to condemn a man just by hearing about it? I was underestimated. My general, Miyo, was your general before you, because you escaped from the enemy and were captured. This time, many people fled from Jiangxi, and they all told me what you did in Jiangxi. I have ordered the investigation to be withdrawn, and if you want to find an excuse to get away with it, it is a waste of effort, and you are waiting to deal with it. β
Turning his head to Sun Fudao, "Drag him down and send him to Angel." If the evidence of the crime is conclusive, he will be killed alive in Nanchang, so that the people of Jiangxi will know the kindness of the imperial court. β
The court was shocked, Huang Wanshi was a high-ranking official of the control envoy, Cheng Yue actually said that he would kill him, and he didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
Sun Fu rushed up to catch Huang Wanshi. Huang Wanshi still wanted to resist, but he was knocked out by Sun Fu's punch, and then dragged away like a dead dog.
Huang Wanshi is Liu Mengyan's confidant, Liu Mengyan was furious, and just wanted to lose his temper, he saw Cheng Yue looking at him with a sharp murderous aura flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, and quickly closed his mouth tightly.
Xie Daoqing and Quan Jiu both looked at Cheng Yue with some fear, and they suddenly felt that they were too small. In front of Cheng Yue, they were like rabbits facing tigers. If Cheng Yue really wants to do something, how will they resist?
Although Lin'an still has more than 40,000 troops, the orders are different. A group of people was recruited by Wen Tianxiang, and Wen Tianxiang and Cheng Yue were allied, and it was impossible to deal with him. The other is led by Zhang Shijie, although Zhang Shijie and Cheng Yue had a quarrel in the palace, he did not oppose Cheng Yue, and he could not deal with him. The other two forces were commanded by Su Liuyi and Zhang Yan, and their numbers were limited and their combat strength was also poor. Cheng Yue only entered the city with 4,000 people and dared to give orders in the Daqing Palace, which showed that he had been prepared, and Cheng Yue still had more than 30,000 elite soldiers outside the city, not to mention his hundreds of thousands of wolf-like armies in various places.
Cheng Yue turned around and said calmly: "Sage, the minister mishandled it, and the sage was frightened. β
Xie Daoqing smiled reluctantly: "The disposal of the Metropolitan Governor is what it should be, why not say it?" β
Cheng Yue said again: "The minister still has someone to deal with, please don't panic the two saints and Your Majesty." β
Xie Daoqing had no choice but to say: "The Metropolitan Governor just has to do it, but don't surprise the emperor." β
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Yes, please rest assured." β
When the ministers heard that Cheng Yue was going to kill someone again, they all became nervous, no one expected Cheng Yue to be so domineering, and they didn't know who provoked him again.
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong both have numb scalps. They originally wanted to reap some benefits by suppressing Cheng Yue's arrogance. Since Cheng Yue has entered Lin'an, he must follow the rules of the court, right? As long as he plays by the rules, they can profit from it. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yue didn't care about all kinds of unwritten rules that they couldn't challenge in their opinion, and as soon as he arrived in the court, he reprimanded them two heads of hundreds of officials in person, directly took over the government, and now he is even killing ministers. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, but he could only watch whose name he wanted.
Cheng Yue stared at Wen Tianxiang and said, "Today, I will avenge Yin Yu and Ma Shilong, who are under the Ministry of Wen Xianggong, and take military discipline seriously." β
Wen Tianxiang was stunned, and his lips trembled slightly. Cheng Yue had already walked out of the hall. Zhang Gui and other generals immediately followed.
Cheng Yue looked at a group of generals standing outside. shouted: "Where is Zhang Quan? β
A military general heard Cheng Yue's words. His complexion changed greatly, and the generals next to him also looked at him. The general didn't dare to hesitate, pushed away the people next to him, and immediately ran out, trying to escape from the palace.
Zhou Shifang had already been paying attention to whether there was any change, and when he saw that the general's face had changed greatly, he had already rushed over, and before the general could run a few steps, Zhou Shimang had already caught up. kicked him over, pressed his head, covered his mouth and said: "You are a killer, you are not allowed to shout, and struggle desperately so as not to startle the Holy Driver, otherwise the Metropolitan Governor may destroy you." Do you understand? β
As soon as the general heard Zhou Shifang's words, he immediately went limp like a cramped snake, and he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he was dragged up the hall by Zhou Shifang.
As soon as Wen Tianxiang saw this person being pressed down and kneeling on the ground, his eyes immediately turned red. looked at Cheng Yue, who looked at Cheng Yue with a calm face, and said with a little choked up: "Thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for taking action." But this matter is still up to the saints. β
This person's name is Zhang Quan, when Changzhou was in an emergency, the imperial court sent him to lead 2,000 troops to the rescue. Wen Tianxiang was the governor of Pingjiang Mansion at that time, and also sent Yin Yu, Ma Shilong and Zhu Hua to Changzhou with 3,000 troops with Zhang Quan.
Ma Shilong and the Yuan army fought at Yuqiao, Zhang Quan refused to rescue, resulting in Ma Shilong and his soldiers all killed, but Zhang Quan fled back to Wumu.
Zhu Hua's garrison Wumu planned to dig a ditch and bury trees to set up obstacles, but Zhang Quan did not allow it, for fear of hindering him from escaping.
Soon the Yuan soldiers came to attack, and Zhu Hua led the Guang army to fight fiercely with the Yuan army.
At night, after the Yuan army went around the mountain, it forced the Jiangxi army, Yin Yu fought hard, killed 1,000 Yuan soldiers, Zhang Quan watched from the other side, and did not send an arrow. Yin Yu was difficult to support and was finally defeated.
The defeated soldiers fled across the water, some soldiers grabbed the side of Zhang Quanjun's boat and wanted to get on the boat, Zhang Quan ordered his subordinates to cut off the fingers of the boat puller, so many people fought with the Yuan army and did not die, but they were drowned by their own people.
Yin Yu collected 500 remnants of the army, and went to fight with the Yuan soldiers, killing from night to dawn, killing dozens of Yuan soldiers with his own hands, until he was exhausted. Yuan Bing hated him for being too brave, and used four big guns to frame him, so he dared to beat him to death. All of his men died, and none of them surrendered.
Afterwards, Wen Tianxiang wanted to behead Zhang Quan to warn the whole army, but Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong did not agree because of their cowardice, and only let him make meritorious contributions.
Cheng Yue walked up to Zhang Quan and said disdainfully: "Do you know the crime? β
Zhang was as full as the color of the earth, and he knew that he would not be spared today, so he had to bow to the ground and cry: "The little one is guilty, and I only ask the big governor to spare the small family, and the little one is a ghost, and I am grateful to the big governor." β
Cheng Yue looked at the leper dog coldly and said, "If your family is not guilty, I will never implicate it, but your family property must be used to compensate those heroes who died in battle." Zhou Shifang, pushed him out and took care of him, posted a notice, publicly cut him up tomorrow, exposed the body for three days, the body was not allowed to enter the ground, and the bones were fed to the dogs. β
"Yes!"
"Ahh Zhang Quan was frightened and fainted before he finished shouting.
Zhou Shifang grabbed Zhang Quan's hair and pulled it out. Zhang Quan was woken up by the great pain on his head, thinking about Zhou Shifang's words, he turned his bachelor up, and didn't dare to shout pain at all, for fear of startling the holy driver, he was beheaded all over the door, bowed his head and grabbed Zhou Shifang's hand, and was dragged away all the way.
Wen Tianxiang hurriedly said: "Governor, the sage hasn't agreed yet." β
Cheng Yue replied: "Who said I didn't agree? Didn't you listen to the saint just now? The Governor just had to do it. β
Wen Tianxiang looked at his fearless face, and after a long time, Fang sighed lightly and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is really happy and revengeful, and I am far behind." Thank you so much this time, don't be so reckless next time. β
Cheng Yue smiled: "I'm curious who else dares to come next time?" This time, Xianggong Wen avenged his generals, and this matter can finally be concluded. I'm not afraid to tell you, I've been holding this breath for a long time. β
Wen Tianxiang sighed, waved in the direction of Changzhou, and said nothing.
Cheng Yue said to Zhang Gui again: "I went to raid their home, and all the guilty servants in the family were imprisoned, and they were let go after being admonished for innocence." The family property was used to compensate the people in Jiangxi and other places who were killed by them. β
Zhang Gui took the order and left.
Cheng Yue looked at the two of them, and said with a grim face: "Liumengyan and Chen Yizhong are unfair and responsible, and they should be awarded two levels of knighthood, and a fine of 30% will be executed on the same day." β
The hall was as silent as death in an instant, and everyone was looking at the two prime ministers of Liuchen, and their hearts were beating drums.
Cheng Yue used a second-class military attache to deal with the two prime ministers with a heavy hand, which was simply humiliating them. The two prime ministers are the heads of the hundred officials, how can they swallow this breath? This is obviously forcing the two to fight against each other. And if the two prime ministers really fight back, I don't know what Cheng Yue will do? Will they just kill them? Could it be that Cheng Yue wants to eliminate dissidents and control the government in one fell swoop?
Liu Mengyan was furious, he was the prime minister of Zuo under one person and above ten thousand people, an official residence, a very popular minister, and only had a fair relationship with the princes, and he actually had to be punished by a young man who was only twenty years old? Anyone can bear it, but who can't bear it!
Liu Mengyan was about to have a seizure, Chen Yizhong quietly pulled his sleeve, and when Liu Mengyan looked back at him, he waved his hand again, and then pressed his hand down, signaling him to endure it.
Liu Mengyan remembered the sharp murderous aura in Cheng Yue's eyes when he looked at him just now, and immediately sobered up, gritted his teeth and held back from speaking, but the anger on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what.
Liu Mengyan originally wanted to mention Wang Yu's matter and let Cheng Yue explain, but also thought about letting Cheng Yue agree to release Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong in court, giving him a small dismount, and then he released a little kindness himself, so that Cheng Yue could be played with in the palm of his hand. But he felt a hint of danger at the moment. If there were no means to sanction Cheng Yue, it would be better to say less of these words.
Liu Mengyan thought about it, and had no choice but to sigh, stand up with Chen Yizhong with a pale face, and salute Xie Daoqing: "The minister has a negative grace and is not careful, so I ask the two saints for their guilt." β
Xie Daoqing saw that the two had already pleaded guilty. Busy said: "The two Aiqing are flat, people are not sages, who can do nothing?" This matter has been disposed of, and the two Aiqing can relax their minds and do not have to blame themselves too much. Up and down the court, it also depends on the two Aiqing to be thoughtful. β
The two of them bowed deeply, and entered the column backwards, thinking sideways. This is not over, and when I go home, I have to ask for a guilty recourse and resign to show my sincerity. Xie Daoqing is not allowed, and then up, no more, three up, three are not allowed, and the drama of asking for sin is fully done.
Seeing that they say the same thing on weekdays, the two prime ministers on the left and right, who no one dares to question, were actually suppressed by Cheng Yue and swallowed their anger, except for their henchmen, they all secretly applauded in their hearts. Zhang Shijie secretly extended a thumbs up to Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue also pretended not to see it. (To be continued......)
