Chapter 81: The Drums Sound

Liu Zheng's mind was spinning fast, he was desperately recalling the memories of Emperor Wanli in his previous life, and at the same time, combined with some news about the imperial court he had obtained over the past few days, he was analyzing the current situation he needed to face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In March, Yang Hao, the right political secretary of Shandong, became the right to participate in the imperial history, after the military affairs of North Korea, he went to Liaodong from the capital to take office when he asked the emperor, and transferred a lot of people from the Shandong capital division, especially the most capable of fighting, and the relatively full number of Linqing Wei, that is, the former Yanzhou Left Guard and Jinan Wei, Shandong is now very empty.

Don't look at the "History of the Late Ming Dynasty" that only more than 40,000 troops participated in the war, according to the situation obtained by Liu Zhenggen, it can be seen that these 40,000 are just regular troops, and they are only superficial figures, and our Wanli Emperor also recruited auxiliaries and reserve soldiers from all over the country, as well as recruited Sichuan and Han soldiers, and the total number of these troops is more than 100,000.

Otherwise, just by transferring 40,000 troops to fight, it would cost the figure on the surface to be 7.8 million taels? What's more, how many troops did Japan have in Korea, when Japan fought the first time, Japan recruited more than 300,000 people, 158,000 people landed in Korea, and the second time they landed, 120,000 plus the soldiers originally garrisoned in Busan, a total of 140,000 people! The imperial court sent 40,000 people to fight people, could it be that the Japanese army was all paper-paste?

When this battle of Korea is over, the eyes of the court will still not be on him, a small scourge, Wan Liye, who has endured Yang Yinglong for a long time, and the bigwigs of the court will inevitably send troops to play Yang Yinglong to death, and he Liu Zheng is just a little grasshopper at most, at most, he will send someone to pinch him to death.

He can act completely, play until the court kills Yang Yinglong, and stand up when the court army is exhausted, and face Wanli Ye, although it is very shameless, but that's what he thinks.

After thinking about his situation, he began to think about what Li Shan meant by suing Chen Zeng, whether it was a faint move or an intentional act with a deep meaning!

……

Time pushed forward, arrived at Li Shan in the capital division, and under the gaze of countless secretly watching him, he sounded the Dengwen drum that had not sounded for I don't know how many years, and he got his wish to meet the Wanli Emperor, who was difficult to meet even the cabinet bosses.

Emperor Wanli met him in the warm pavilion of the Huangji Gate, where the emperor had discussed a lot of things with many very good people.

As soon as Li Shanfu saw Emperor Wanli, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, crying while complaining to Liu Zheng, this thing was actually very nervous, after all, he had never seen the emperor a few times, and the last time he saw the emperor was when he was a jinshi.

He was suing Liu Zheng about his black state, and suddenly heard the emperor ask him, why did Liu Zheng rebel, how did he capture Qingzhou Zuowei with a small catch?

In one sentence, Li Shan was asked, boss, why don't you follow the script, how do I know why Liu Zheng rebelled? How do I know how he took the Qingzhou Left Guard? I followed what Wei Xiaoqi taught me, how should I answer? He's stuck all at once!

Just when he was in a hurry, he suddenly felt good spirits, and he slipped out Chen Zeng, who had recently caused a lot of harm to Shandong.

After suing the black emperor, he didn't say anything and asked him to kneel down, okay, this string of scenes, Wanli Ye told him to retreat without saying anything.

The scene of Li Shan and the emperor's meeting soon reached the ears of the cabinet bigwigs, and then the little brothers of the bigwigs also followed closely to know, that night, the big guys' homes were really full of people.

In the middle of the moon, the two bigwigs got together.

Zhao Zhigao's study.

"Brother Rumai, what do you think about this?"

"Ziwei, it's not what we think about this matter, but what the emperor thinks!"

One of these two people is Zhao Zhigao, the first assistant of the dynasty, and the other is Shen Yiyi, who is in the same year and ranks in the cabinet of the same party in the same year, these two people are very interesting, Zhao Zhigao's evaluation of him in later life is a soft persimmon, and Shen Zhigao's evaluation is even worse, and he is evaluated as insidious and slippery, but the word slippery is really not very correct for Shen Yiyi, and he should be called a master of playing balance.

Although this product is not very good, although this product is sometimes bad pus, although this product is a guy who dreams that the Zhejiang Party can occupy all the official positions in the imperial court, but Liu Zheng likes him very much, because this product is against the Donglin Party, he is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and he is the vanguard of the Zhejiang Party to deal with the Donglin Party, and there is another reason why Liu Zheng likes him very much, because he has three table words, one is called JIAN dirt (shoulder Wu), one is called Ziwei (since WEI), the only normal name is not doubtful, and this table word is also very related to Liu Zheng, In his previous life, his son's name was Liu Buyi, the cloth of Chenben Buyi, Liu Zheng was convinced that his father was reading the Three Kingdoms at night when he gave him this name.

Although Shen has always been very disdainful of him, the leader of the same year and the same party, he also wants to kill him, but these are hidden in his heart, and he does not announce it to outsiders, no matter what he thinks, he must show a certain amount of respect on the surface, especially on major matters.

"This Liu Zheng is said to be a small catcher, but he can occupy half of Qingzhou Mansion in one fell swoop, and he is still quite capable! Especially not only can the people of Qingzhou Zuowei listen to him, but also pull Chen Zeng to rebel with him, which makes me admire it very much! ”

Shen Cheng suddenly came to this sentence, Zhao Zhigao was slightly surprised, this is not what an auxiliary minister should say, but he immediately understood what Shen Cheng meant by saying this, and he was saying the opposite.

"This Li Shan is also a fool!" Zhao Zhigao, who understood, shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Zhigao is the first assistant of the mud, the first assistant who can please the emperor, and he is an authentic person who comes up by seniority, and his vision is slightly poor.

Shen has always been different, this thing is a master of power and magic, and he is also a conspiracy theorist, he doesn't believe that Li Shan is a fool and dares to say such a flawed thing in front of the emperor.

"Brother Rumai, don't underestimate this little magistrate, as far as I know, this matter is not simple!"

"Oh?" Zhao Zhigao was stunned, he knew Shen's ability, since he said that this matter was not simple, there must be something strange in it.

"Ziwei, do you think there's something else going on here?" After saying this, Zhao Zhigao's eyes narrowed.

Shen Yi nodded and said, "The people below have come to report that this Li Shan followed the people of the Six Doors into Beijing!" ”

"Six doors?" Although Zhao Zhigao's vision is a little worse, his political wisdom is not low, and his brain is not stupid.

As for what the emperor's dog is doing, how could he not know as the head of the court, when the three words Six Doors, Qingzhou Mansion, and Liu Zheng were connected, Zhao Zhigao immediately thought of the King Heng sitting in Qingzhou.

When the name King Heng appeared in his mind, he once again looked through the clouds and mist to see the truth hidden in it more clearly.

Chen Zeng, who was called a big failure by his colleagues and subordinates, immediately associated with the word King Heng, a popular eunuch and a vassal king.

Liu Zheng rebelled in Qingzhou, there was a king of Heng in Qingzhou, the eunuchs who raised money for the emperor in Qingzhou, and the eyes of the courtiers and the emperor were focused on North Korea, the imperial court invested a large number of troops in North Korea, Shandong troops were empty, and the troops of Beizhili were empty, and the Beijing division was only a little more than 800 miles away from Shandong.

"Hiss~~~" Zhao Zhigao gasped: "Ziwei, this matter is not small!" It's not something we can mix, it's best to stay out of it! ”

Shen Yi smiled bitterly and said, "How to stay out of the matter?" After saying this, Shen always took out the basic fold from his wide sleeves.

Zhao Zhigao took it and took a look, the cold sweat on his forehead came down all of a sudden, two copies of Wang Jiabin's recitals for disaster relief, Linzi Zhi County, Shouguang Zhi County, Le'an Zhi County, Boxing Zhi County, and Gaoyuan Zhi County exposed Wang Jiabin and Liu Zheng's rebellion, grasping these twists and turns as if grasping a hot soldering iron, Zhao Zhigao's hands trembled uncontrollably.

These are all sparse performances that the cabinet has pressed down!! In order to make concessions to the 'big deal' on the North Korean side, the sparse music that is suppressed! If there is no Li Shan to complain about this, these sparse performances will be suppressed!

But now it's a talisman!

Zhao Zhigao panicked, and began to overinterpret Wang Jiabin's disaster relief recital, which seems to be well-behaved and there is nothing wrong with it, but it is different to connect the words King Heng and rebellion.

What does a rebellion need in addition to soldiers and money? Isn't it just food? This Wang Jiabin is asking for food for King Heng for the purpose of disaster relief! It's a good thing he didn't care!

But even if this point is ignored, it can't save them, after all, King Heng, a vassal king has rebelled! The emperor of the old Zhu family is not afraid of any man-made rebellion, but he is afraid of his own family's man-made rebellion, because there are many previous convictions, and the Yongle Emperor who succeeded and became a generation of emperors, isn't it a good model?

This is really a big deal, it's not good, their current cabinet has to get out of the way, and there is even the danger of being imprisoned or even losing their lives.

"Ziwei, this is going to be a big incident! Alas, why is it here, so far! ”

"Don't panic, Brother Rumai, don't panic, this matter is not enough to do anything to us, at most it is a sin of inspection!"

"Alas, Ziwei, with the emperor's temperament, how could he let us go so lightly! There must be thunderous wrath! ”

"It doesn't stop there! Brother Ru Mai, the key now is to send someone to find out whether this is true or not! ”

"Now that it's over, what's the use of not checking it?"

"No, it's useful, it's very useful, not only to check, but also to check thoroughly, especially to find out what the hell is going to do over there at the six doors!"

Zhao Zhigao was silent, Shen Cheng pondered for a while, and then said again: "The imperial court has spent almost all the money on foreign troops over the years, if it weren't for Chen Zeng and they got a lot of silver for the imperial court last year, it is very mysterious whether they can send troops to North Korea again this year!" There is no silver in the imperial court, and before the summer tax comes up, you can't raise the sword lightly, so this matter must be investigated! Check until the summer tax comes up! ”

"Brother Rumai, if the emperor summons me tomorrow, we must say so......"
