It was only five days since the holy car left Beijing, but Wang Shouren felt that it was as long as five months, and it was really necessary to take care of the house, and it was really difficult to take care of the house. Brother Xie Xiandi has been saying in the past that traditional scholars are rarely credible, and now it seems that this is really the case.

Seeing that the Holy Party was going west, eighty percent of them never returned, and it goes without saying that the arrogance of the morale party has soared, and the imperial party has also begun to waver, and even Cao Yuan and Liu Yu, who are the backbone of the imperial party, have been making frequent changes recently, and the atmosphere of the two yamen of the household department and the military department has suddenly become harmonious.

The military power of the capital is still controlled by Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu, so these people don't dare to make any big moves, but since there is a series in private, there will naturally be no shortage of small actions, especially in the household department.

Zhengde often does not go through the military department, and the small actions that the military department can do are also limited, and the household department is different.

The grain and grass carried by the saint when he left Beijing had already emptied half of the households, and now although the autumn grain has been collected in various places, many of them are still on the way; There are also those who have arrived in the capital and have not had time to enter the warehouse, so there is a great opportunity to do it.

As long as it is not put into storage, there is no grain in the treasury, and as for how to make food not enter the warehouse, there are not many ways? The clerk was sick, the roster was lost, and even the lock on the gate was broken...... In short, it is a means of grinding foreign workers and not contributing.

After Liu Yu was shaken, he also opened his eyes to this and closed one eye, among the officials below, those who were the backbone were all brought to Tianjin by Yan Song, and many of the rest were also grass on the wall.

Wang Shouren also has a headache about this, it is easy to take down Liu Yu, but this matter is not his problem alone, it is that the officialdom of the entire capital is not optimistic about Zhengde's upward movement. The only people who unswervingly supported the emperor were the students and ordinary people of the academy, and the proportion of officials was quite small, so he could only draw people from the academy for emergency response.

Mr. Yang Ming was known as a saint in later generations, but whether he was a real immortal or not, naturally he would not know, according to the normal track of history, before the start of the Yingzhou War, the civil officials in the capital also dealt with Zhengde in this way.

Zhengde sent a decree back to Beijing, asking the imperial court to provide one million taels of silver as a military salary to boost morale before the war and as a pension after the war. But the scholar Yang Tinghe did everything possible to shirk, but he didn't give it, and then he was forced to be in a hurry, so he gave Zhengde a five-fold discount, and then drifted away on the way over.

Now, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as an inevitable surname in history, and it is also a repetition of the old skills of the scholars, anyway, the emperor will not turn back to settle accounts, and it is the emperor's royal leg that is dragged.

Although the situation is different now, there is no way to blatantly reject the emperor's will, but everyone can make small moves. Although Wang Bo'an is very strategic, in the final analysis, he is not the plague god who kills decisively, and in the face of the current situation of not being accountable to the public, he can only rely on those students in the academy to make up for the shortcomings.

There is no fear, the scholars dig the corners of the wall and dig happily, there is no faint king, there is no plague god, the sky of the capital has turned blue, how beautiful life is!

What changed this situation was a fast horse, and this messenger entered the city from Yongding Gate and went directly to Xiyuan. According to the principle of proximity, the political participation group is usually in Xiyuan, so Wang Shouren, Tang Bohu and others often work here, and the Ordnance Department has now completely become a technical organization, and it has long lost the functions of Xie Hong when he was in the capital.

Not long after the messenger entered Xiyuan, a shocking news blew through the capital like a cold wind, leaving countless people stunned, the plague god has returned!

"What, you said that the thief is back, how is this possible, how can he come back so soon? Wang Mingzhong's letter reads......"

Wang Wei hurriedly rummaged through the bookcase, because of his panic, it took a long time to find something from a hidden corner, he rolled up his sleeves, wiped his eyes, rubbed again, and finally yelled angrily: "Obviously he was still in Ningbo at the beginning of September, but now it is only the end of September, how can he appear in the capital?" Could he not be able to fly? ”

"But Ge Lao, he really came back, and he brought a few thousand cavalry, and now he is outside the southern city, alas!" Zhou Jing didn't know what to say, he didn't understand, let's not talk about how the other party came back, just why the other party suddenly returned to Beijing was already a headache.

You must know that the warning signal of the Xuanfu only reached the capital in mid-September, and now even if it is a flying pigeon, it will at most spread the news to Ningbo, you know, this is thousands of miles away!

Obviously, Xie Hong shouldn't have received the news, let alone rushed back from Ningbo within a month, but he just fell from the sky, and he got thousands of cavalry from nowhere! It's a complicated taste.

The already full confidence suddenly cast a shadow, and Zhou Jing began to regret it again, this person can't be measured with common sense, and he shouldn't wade into this muddy water.

"Didn't we already have a conclusion? This person can go back and forth between Waguo and Lushun within a month, and then go to Ningbo, there must be some kind of unknown clipper, as for why he returned, maybe it was because of the Jiangnan incident? Either way, he can't change anything when he comes back. ”

Wang Qiong is very calm, and his analysis is also very reasonable: "Look at the time, the emperor should have reached Juyong Pass now, even if he immediately chases him with light horses, I am afraid that it will be too late, not to mention, since that person led troops into Beijing, he must also plan to reinforce, not to persuade the emperor to turn back, with the old man's expectation, he should also know that it is difficult to persuade the emperor, so he can only make another plan." ”

"Dehua is reasonable, but since this person is back, then let's be a little more restrained, don't let him catch the handle and take the opportunity to kill, since he wants to reinforce Xuanzhen, then wait for him to leave ......" As he spoke, Yang Tinghe also found that he had no confidence in saying this.

Don't look at the two of them being like-minded, they are sworn brothers, but the styles of the brothers are still fundamentally different. One is a surname who thinks of it, and is in a hurry; The other is to think about it before doing it, which is called a scheming man, like an old man who is over the age of old.

Zhengde's roaring royal driver went to the conquest, leaving only one Wang Bo'an town, leaving a lot of space for everyone. But in front of Xie Hong, it is not so easy, with this person's style, if he doesn't arrange the back road properly, how can he be on the road with peace of mind?

"Elder Ge, it's not good, it's not good...... "I'm afraid of something, I didn't wait for a few old men to digest the bad news that Xie Hong fell from the sky, and the news from outside came again, and if I didn't see anyone, I could already know what the news was.

"All the adults are here, what are you calling nonsense? Is there any more system? "Wang Wei was already in a very bad mood, and at this time, he was yelled at by the people in the house, and he was even more angry, Lao Tzu is still alive, and it will be done soon, what's wrong?

"Yes, sir, the little one should be damned, but ......" The messenger hurriedly confessed, stealing a glance at the old man's expression with an inquiring meaning, he hurriedly said: "There is another team of cavalry from Guangqumen, I heard that it is from Jizhen......"

"What?" Wang Wei was shocked, it was really a disaster, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen actually came so quickly, "Is it the banner of that general?" How many people are there? ”

"The flag is a Korean character, and the number of people is about 5,000."

"Chief soldier Han Fu?" Everyone looked at each other, although they were not undoubted, but they were still slightly relieved.

Now the worst result is that Xie Hong rode lightly to chase Zhengde, and after stabilizing the latter, he transferred troops from Jizhen to support in a big way, so that although Gyeonggi would be more empty and more conducive to the progress of other plans, it would have an impact on the most important part of the plan, and it was likely to lead to the triumphant return of the emperor.

For this reason, they have also made a lot of arrangements in secret, but it is difficult to say what the effect is, now that the soldiers of Jizhen have arrived, there are only 5,000 cavalry, which means that their secret arrangements have taken effect, otherwise there is a huge Jizhen, how can there be only this number of people?

"The last general is not effective in commanding the troops, the reinforcement is late, and the soldiers and horses are not enough, please ask the Hou Ye to surrender."

"Brother Xie Xian, you entrusted me with the important affairs of the auxiliary government, but the foolish brother failed to live up to your hopes, you can't dissuade the saint from making this risky move, you can't appease the capital, and ensure the smooth logistics, the foolish brother is really ashamed."

Recently, it seems to be particularly popular to take the guilt of Jing Plea, Xie Hong has already settled Liu Liu on the road, but as soon as he entered Xiyuan, he was confronted with two more.

Like those officials in the capital, the new policy made many generals in Jizhen feel that their interests were damaged, and they were already a little dissatisfied.

Those people who shirk are not in the majority, these people are used to seeing the Tartars, they know the power of those barbarians, and they are even more optimistic about Zhengde's pro-conquest, so they are even more determined to oppose Han Fu and Xie Hong behind Han Fu.

In normal times, they can use military orders to kill them, but since they are not even afraid of the orders of the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more drastic actions.

However, Duoyan Sanwei was also scouting and riding around, and seeing that he was about to make a move, after receiving Xie Hong's military order, the two of them also made a difficulty, and finally discussed, they could only adopt a compromise strategy. Leave a part of the men and horses to ensure the safety of Jizhen, echoing with Liaozhen, on the other hand, gather the elite cavalry to meet in the capital.

Therefore, when he saw Xie Hong, Han Fu felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

Wang Shouren's guilt was even worse than Han Fu's, except for the operation of the academy was still good, he didn't do anything else that Xie Hong asked him to do. It's just that he can't stop Zhengde, but he didn't even guarantee the logistics, but as soon as Xie Hong entered Beijing, those restless people quickly became honest.

It's just that the news spread to Xie Hong's entry into the city, and in just half an hour, the total amount of grain in the household storage was actually more than the sum of the previous days.

The lost account books were also recovered, the sick were cured, the broken locks were repaired, and the officials of the household department completed the transformation at an unprecedented speed, which made Wang Shouren dumbfounded, and then shook his head and sighed.

People are more popular than dead people! Talent or something, this deterrent, I can't compare to Brother Xie Xian in what I say, well, the wicked have to grind the wicked, that's it.
