By the time Zhang Juzheng thought of blocking this shocking news, it was too late. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the messenger soldier entered the yamen of the military department before, there was such a big commotion, not only the people in the yamen, but also the people passing by outside, who had vaguely guessed where they had encountered an emergency military situation. And when the news of the Datong mutiny spread in the yamen of the Ministry of War, it made many officials nervous.

Then they saw that the hour had come, and they went home again. When he saw his cronies and family members, he naturally inevitably expressed his worries, so that more people would know that an extremely serious mutiny had taken place in Datong.

As a result, on the night of the Beijing city, where ordinary people were not allowed to go out at will, the news of the Datong Mutiny had spread far and wide, spreading all over the city, and it was constantly changing in the process of transmission, from Datong to the Shanxi Mutiny, and the situation became several times more serious with such a change, which made the people feel uneasy.

What kind of place is Shanxi? It was the border fortress of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a military town facing the Mongol Tatars. Among the four major towns, Datong and Xuanfu are among them, and the troops stationed there are the guarantee for the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty. As long as you know a little about the general trend of the world, you will know what the Shanxi Mutiny meant to the Ming court, and almost half of the people in Beijing have some understanding of this.

You must know that as long as you pass Shanxi, there will be no dangerous fortresses in the Central Plains that can stop the Mongol iron hoof attack, and the city of Beijing will be completely exposed to the Mongols' fast horse scimitar. Although the people of this era had never experienced such a scene, the common people had already heard from the accounts of their ancestors about the danger of the Mongols breaking through the border and appearing outside the capital during the Jiajing Dynasty, as well as the autumn of peril in the earlier days.

When the news was obtained that the Shanxi defenders who were used to block the Mongol iron cavalry had mutinied, no matter who it was, they would have great worries about it, for fear that history would repeat itself and they would become victims of the war.

The ignorant are fearless, and conversely, when people know something, they will have an inexplicable panic about something. This night, for many people in Beijing, is destined to be a sleepless night, and some of them have even begun to pack their luggage and packages, planning to flee Beijing when the limelight is not right.

And after the dawn of the day, the news spread in Beijing at the fastest speed, and even reached the ears of the eldest girls and daughters-in-law who are not usually out of the house, which caused even greater panic, and people were panicked for a while, and everyone was in danger.

It was not until this time that the government realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly came forward to refute the rumors and reassure people's hearts, bluntly saying that it was only a mutiny in Datong, and it was only a small mutiny, and it did not cause much trouble. But this is still difficult to convince the people, and sometimes rumors are always more marketable and convincing than the truth.

In this way, what the imperial court should do is to send people to settle the situation in Shanxi as soon as possible under the condition of trying to appease the people's hearts.

At this time, the news had reached Zhang Jingyun's ears. When she returned to the door after buying vegetables, she was stopped by the aunt next door. I saw her looking at Zhang Jingyun nervously: "I said Miss Zhang, you have a big heart, and you are still taking care of Zhang Luo's food at this time." ”

"Huh? What's going on? Zhang Jingyun was shocked in her heart, and her first reaction was what happened to her man. There is no way, Yang Zhen's identity is here, and he always causes some trouble, so it is inevitable that the people next to him will not worry about him.

"Why, don't you know yet? Don't you feel the atmosphere is tense when you go out on the street? This aunt rarely had an insider, so she was very excited and spat to explain the whole thing to Zhang Jingyun, of course, a lot of it was her own personal play: "Just last night, a seriously injured soldier ran back and died in front of the yamen of the military department. And guess what? It turned out that there was a rebellion in Shanxi, and the big soldiers rebelled...... Tsk, you say it's scary or not.

"What's even more terrifying is that Shanxi is still our Ming Dynasty's border pass. Hundreds of thousands of troops are there, and now it's in chaos, and not only will they fight, but the Mongols from outside - do you know the Mongols? How many years did it take Grandpa to sweep them out, and they were all fierce savages—they would also come over. At that time, we will not be able to protect the city of Beijing. You said that you don't care about these big things at this time, and you are still thinking about how to cook, which is big enough. After relaying everything she heard and thought to Zhang Jingyun, the aunt turned around and left with satisfaction, leaving Zhang Jingyun there with a vegetable basket in a daze, and her face was full of horror.

Although she has followed her grandfather to the north and south since she was a child, she has an extremely limited understanding of this kind of family and country affairs, and when she heard that it was a rebellion of the border army, in her intuitive impression, it was an extremely terrible thing. If the Mongols stir up peace in it, it will be even worse.

In a daze, Zhang Jingyun turned back to his yard. At this time, Yang Zhen was punching and kicking in the yard. As soon as he saw her coming back, Yang Zhen greeted her with a smile: "How about it, Jingyun, what are you going to cook today?" Let me tell you, the bowl of five-whip soup yesterday tasted so weird that I don't want to taste it again today. So saying, he went to get her basket.

I didn't want to be on the other side but didn't react much, I just stared at myself directly, and Yang Zhen was a little panicked: "Jingyun, what's wrong with you?" What happened to you that made you so distracted? As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Jingyun's shoulder and shook it violently.

In this way, Zhang Jingyun, who was shocked, suddenly came back to her senses, and when she saw Yang Zhen, she made a fuss and said: "Erlang, something is wrong, let's get out of here quickly." ”

"Huh? What's going on, look at what scares you? Yang Zhen said, and took the vegetable basket from her hand, looking at her appearance, he was really afraid that the other party would throw the vegetables in the basket on the ground.

Zhang Jingyun then remembered that his man didn't know what was going on, so he repeated what the aunt said just now. She doesn't have a penchant for adding fuel and vinegar, but these words are still enough to shock people.

It's just that this intimidating effect on Yang Zhen is very limited. After listening to Zhang Jingyun's story, he raised two sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "You are so sad because of Aunt Li's words?" ”

"Isn't that a big deal?" Zhang Jingyun looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, how bold this person is, he can face such a dangerous thing with a smile.

"If this is the case, I will naturally feel panicked, but just a woman's words want me to be shocked, then I have experienced so many things in vain all these years." Yang Zhen said and patted Zhang Jingyun's little hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, the matter will never be as serious as Aunt Li said." At best, it should have been a mutiny of modest proportions. ”

Although Yang Zhen had only heard of this matter for the first time, with his knowledge and wisdom, it was easy to deduce the most likely truth of this incident. Since even a woman like Aunt Li, who doesn't get out of the alley much, knows that there is such a thing, then it is obvious that something really happened. But he is more aware of the characteristics of the common people who like to exaggerate when spreading rumors, and that a matter that is not too serious can be turned into a major event by them in one or two cases, not to mention the extremely sensitive topic of mutiny.

As for his certainty that the mutiny could not have been as serious as the rumors suggested, it was because of his superficial knowledge of history. At least from his brother's mouth, Yang Zhen had never heard of any large-scale military rebellion and social unrest in the early years of Wanli. The city of Beijing is naturally less likely to be threatened and affected by this. All this is just an exaggeration of the people who are worried and frightened and spread false rumors.

Zhang Jingyun saw that Yang Zhen was so calm, and his heart, which was originally as scattered as numbness, finally settled down. I saw her look at Yang Zhen timidly: "Erlang, can you be sure that this matter will not put us in danger?" Keshanxi ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Zhen had already hugged her: "It's okay, believe me!" If such a big thing really happened, would I, as the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guard, know nothing? You see, it's almost noon, and not even a single person from the brocade guard comes to the door, which is enough to infer that the matter is not critical enough to cause panic. And you can rest assured, even if something so serious happens, as long as I, Yang Zhen, am here, I will definitely be able to keep you peaceful! ”

"Well......" Leaning on Yang Zhen's generous and warm arms, Zhang Jingyun only felt a sense of peace of mind, and the panic just now completely calmed down: "I believe in you." ”

Holding Zhang Jingyun in his arms, Yang Zhen's eyes flashed with a strange light. Although the matter cannot be as serious as rumored outside, the mutiny is not a trivial matter after all, and Yang Zhen is really interested in it, and wants to know what is going on.

"By the way," Zhang Jingyun was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly said with some worry: "If this kind of thing happens, you won't be sent to solve such a major matter as the mutiny, right?" ”

"How is this possible? I'm just a brocade guard, and the mutiny is a big deal, and the court officials have to preside over the overall situation. I don't have that at all. Yang Zhen immediately shook his head and denied. But after saying this, he had a strange thought in his heart, after the fire during the Lantern Festival before, Zhang Jingyun also asked himself, and he denied it, but the result was ...... Don't be mistaken by her again this time!
