The impact of this Beidi emergency report is obviously extremely serious, and some clues can be seen from today's court meeting. The usual early court www.biquge.info usually ends around midnight, but this court meeting lasted until after noon, and it was not until nearly midnight that the ministers left the palace one by one worriedly.

As for the memories of some eunuchs who served outside the palace, the voice of the Son of Heaven kept coming from the quiet hall during the court meeting, and it was obvious that this time the emperor was really anxious, but the ministers were always silent. In addition, after the court meeting ended, the Son of Heaven did not have lunch, and scolded Sun Hai, the personal chamberlain who arranged all this for him, and finally knocked over those meals.

In fact, Yang Zhen didn't take these news very seriously, and he listened to it. Although today's Wanli is much more mature and stable than a few years ago, he is still just a young man after all, and he is bound to be angry when he suddenly encounters such a blow without experiencing too many setbacks, and even anger is transferred to the heads of the people around him.

What Yang Zhen really cared about was the courtiers' opinions on this matter, but the result made him very disappointed. Although he had expected it, he still did not expect that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would be so unanimous in their silence, except for a few military officials who proposed to transfer troops from all over the country to support, no one said that they would be held responsible, let alone take advantage of this incident to pick up all the shortcomings in the border army.

This really surprised Yang Zhen. The Ming Dynasty's officials are so bold that they dare to speak the truth and speak ruthlessly, but they are all ranked first in history. There was even a time when these officials would be proud of being angry with the Son of Heaven and suffering from the scepter. It stands to reason that when there is such a thing that makes the society unstable and the people worry, these officials should be the happiest, but the result is ...... But there was silence! This is really abnormal!

Of course, Yang Zhen understood the thoughts of those bigwigs who were at the top of the temple, and knew that stability must be the top priority at this time, so he categorically did not allow variables that would make the situation more complicated. But logically speaking, things would not have come to such a point, and there was not even a single person who came out to speak out.

Originally, if the call was not loud, Yang Zhen planned to take action himself. But the current situation is so weird, he doesn't dare to move casually, at least someone has to open the way in front of them first, and they can only do it.

It's a pity that Zhang Runsheng, who was originally useful, went back to his hometown to recuperate after last year's events, and has not returned until today. None of the others, he was too sure. In this way, Yang Zhen had to find someone, a former old man, and a high-ranking official who is now very high in the court.

As a high-ranking official who can compete with the six ministers and cabinet ministers in the imperial court, the front of the mansion of the Imperial Governor of the Imperial Court is much more deserted than that of other adults.

This is not to say that the power of this left capital imperial history is inferior to those few, but because people know very well that the current Governor Zhong Yuzhong is the most upright, and he is also the most disgusted by people giving and accepting bribes, and he is close to pulling connections, and because of this, he has personally participated in the impeachment of several officials who tried to bribe themselves. In this way, the officials of the capital no longer have the intention of boarding the gate of his Zhong Mansion, and there are naturally many people in front of his mansion.

When Yang Zhen slowly passed in front of the Zhong Mansion in a carriage and watched all this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This reminded him of all the things he and Zhong Yu had when they went to Shanxi a few years ago, when he was also so upright, and finally broke with the family.

However, to the surprise of many people, Zhong Yu made great progress in his career after breaking with the huge Zhong family, and moved forward step by step in the next few years, and finally sat on the highest position in the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate last year, becoming the first official in the world.

It's just that with the improvement of Zhong Yu's status, the communication between Yang Zhen and him has gradually decreased, so that they have not met in private for two years. Although there has been no discord between the two, the opposition of their identities has separated the two like a chasm.

Yanguan Yushi has always been regarded as a conscience and a clear stream by officials and scholars all over the world, and as the highest-ranking official in this industry, Zhong Yu is naturally the clear stream of the clear stream. And Jinyiwei is an existence that has always been despised by scholars, and it is not even a turbidity current, and Yang Zhen is precisely the governor of Jinyiwei.

is so clear, and the two people with disparity in status, even if they have a good personal relationship, they can only refrain from interacting in order to avoid suspicion. So after a few years, the two friends who fought side by side at the beginning have become strangers.

But when the flames at the border pass recurred, and some people there were still doing things that harmed the interests of the imperial court, Yang Zhen still planned to meet with this former ally and ask some questions.

However, as the governor of Jinyi Guard, Yang Zhen is not good at asking for a meeting from the main gate so openly, even if there are no idle people around here. He only took the carriage to the back door of Zhongfu, which was in a long alley, that he asked people to come forward and call the door.

Fortunately, this back door was also guarded, and after receiving the famous thorn that Yang Zhen took out, the doorman went inside with some doubts. To be honest, although I've heard of the relationship between going through the back door, it's the first time I've seen him when he really touches the back door, not to mention that he still walks through the back door of the house of Lord Zongxian, who is in charge of discipline.

Looking at the re-closed portal, the subordinates who accompanied Yang Zhen felt very aggrieved for him: "Dudu, you are really degrading your identity by doing this, even if the other party is Zhong Zongxian, we don't have to do this." ”

"You don't understand this, only in this way is the safest." Yang Zhen looked very indifferent and said with a smile.

A moment later, the back door was opened from the inside again, and a familiar voice came out: "Yang Dudu, what kind of trouble are you doing, and you actually came here?" ”

When I looked closely, it was Zhong Yu standing there with a smile and arching his hand towards Yang Zhen. Seeing this, Yang Zhen also hurriedly got out of the car, and returned the salute with a smile: "I am really flattered to have Zhong Zongxian personally greet him in front of the door." ”

"Look at what you said, your dignified Jinyi Guard commanded the envoy to turn to my back door with dignity, can't I, the imperial historian, come here to greet you? Come in and talk. As he spoke, Zhong Yu had already strode in front of Yang Zhen, took his arm and took it in, looking so enthusiastic, as if it was no different from a few years ago.

Yang Zhen smiled, then moved forward and walked into the courtyard of the Zhong Mansion. This place is much more magnificent than the Zhong Yu family mansion he visited before, and the area alone is more than three times that of before, and the pavilions and pavilions in it are more than Yang Zhen's house.

The two walked all the way, greeting each other all the way, and by the way, they also recalled the past, and soon came to the study in the backyard of Zhongfu.

This is a very friendly attitude. Generally speaking, when visiting the homes of some high-ranking officials, they can only speak in the side hall, and if they have a higher status and a closer relationship, they can enter the main hall. And those who can come to the study in the backyard to watch tea and talk about it are all people's cronies and close friends, even those colleagues of comparable status are not treated like this.

Seeing Zhong Yu's attitude, Yang Zhen's heart was warm. Although the two have not communicated for many years, those experiences of living and dying together have not been forgotten.

After a few more gossips, Zhong Yu said with some concern: "I heard that your two ladies were kidnapped by gangsters last year?" At that time, I wanted to go and say hello, but I was entangled in everything, so I missed it, I wonder if they are okay now? ”

Yang Zhen nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you Lord Zhong for your concern, they are fine, and Yueying has just given birth to a pair of children for me, maybe this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

"Oh? That's really gratifying. Zhong Yu nodded happily. Then he remembered something, walked to his bookcase, opened the drawer, took out a brocade box from it and gently placed it on the coffee table in Yang Zhen's side: "Since it is such a happy event, I, who am a friend, should celebrate." There's nothing to do, this pair of jade pendants is a congratulatory gift, and I hope you don't have to refuse. ”

Yang Zhen took the box and opened it to take a look, and saw that it was a pair of white tiger vermilion bird ornaments with a rather exquisite shape, and the two pieces of white jade were shining with a warm luster under the light, which was obviously not low. However, with the friendship between the two, he couldn't refuse, so he thanked him with a smile and accepted it.

After the greetings and reminiscences were over, Zhong Yu finally got to the point: "You came here today, I don't know why?" ”

"When I came down to see my lord, it was naturally for the great event that happened yesterday." Yang Zhen didn't go around in circles, and when he saw that the other party asked, he said directly: "There is such a situation in Xuanfu, as long as I am the official and private of the Ming Dynasty, there is no one who is not worried and surprised." ”

"I'm guessing you're here for that, too." Zhong Yu frowned, and his eyes didn't seem to dare to intersect with Yang Zhen: "But I don't know why you're looking for me?" What do you want to talk to me about? Although he asked the question, he obviously already had the answer in his heart.

Of course, Yang Zhen could see this, but he still explained carefully: "Actually, Lord Zhong, you should know very well what a huge problem exists in the Xuan Mansion and even in the entire northern border army. I think there are many people in the DPRK who can see the problem like me, but what makes me wonder is why no one at this meeting raised such a view. Especially those officials, who are even more silent about this, which is really weird. I am deeply puzzled, and you are the chief constitution of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and you are in charge of speech, so I would like to ask you for the reason. As he spoke, Yang Zhen's eyes were fixed on the other party's face for a moment.
