Chapter 134: The Calculation Begins
It is said that Yang Tingjian traveled all the way to Jingshi on December 11, and the carriage loaded with gold quietly left the entire convoy and made a detour to Tongzhou.
More than 5,000 Mongols who joined the new army of Jinyiwei dismounted, and then helped each other tie their wrists, and then threaded a long string of ropes. Of course, these Mongols were taken prisoner, and Yang Tingjian's return to Beijing this time was not only to send confiscated silver to the imperial court, but also to sacrifice the prisoners.
When Yang Tingjian arrived at the five gates of Yongding in Beijing, he was stunned, it was simply a sea of people, colorful flags fluttering on both sides of the entire official road, and countless people waving small flags made of colored paper in their hands.
The funniest thing is that there are countless floats on both sides of the road, and all the beauties standing on them are dressed up in fancy clothes, for Yang Tingjian, a modern person, of course, I think that this can certainly be had, but the plaque hanging under the float makes Yang Tingjian cry and laugh, what "", "Manchun Garden", "Jinfeng Building", etc., the entire brothel of Jingshi has come to advertise.
Yang Tingjian looked at it, there are really a lot of such floats, I am afraid that the brothels of the whole capital have come. This is obviously the imperial court, otherwise these brothels would not have sent girls to the outside of the capital city to be frozen.
The cabinet and the six Shangshu that surprised Yang Tingjian even more came to greet him, but he didn't see a eunuch representing the emperor present, what was the situation, Yang Tingjian was also confused.
However, it is always good for someone to come to greet him, Yang Tingjian didn't think much about it, in fact, Chongzhen sent Gao Qiqian to meet Yang Tingjian, but this thing especially didn't take Yang Tingjian seriously, and in addition to several adults in the cabinet, a comfortable duty room was arranged for Gao Qi's potential Chengtianmen, which had already prepared wine and food, and also lit a charcoal fire for heating, and there were also a few beautiful maidservants waiting.
At this time, Gao Qiqian was tricked by several old foxes in the cabinet to eat wine in the duty room of Chengtianmen, and as long as Gao Qiqian drank a little wine, he left Chongzhen behind him to meet Yang Tingjian's task. After stabilizing the high diving potential, the bigwigs of the cabinet immediately prepared to implement the next plan.
Chongzhen asked his cronies and eunuch Gao Qiqian to go outside the city to meet Yang Tingjian, that is, after Gao Qiqian received Yang Tingjian, the two went to Chengtian together, and then Yang Tingjian took people to offer prisoners, and Gao Qiqian took the silver car to turn right from Chengtianmen and went around the imperial city to Xihua Gate.
Gao Qiqian listened to the song while drinking a little wine, and what he thought was:
"This silver has entered the capital, can it still fly, a certain family is waiting for Yang Tingjian in this Chengtianmen, this damn weather is really getting colder day by day, or is the house comfortable......"
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also ready to come to the noon gate, and the noon gate prisoner ceremony was a grand state gift. During the Wanli period, the Japanese prisoners in the war of "resisting Japanese aggression and aiding Korea" were used to hold a grand prisoner gift in front of the noon gate.
Prisoner offerings have existed since ancient times. The victors held ceremonies, sacrificed the captives to the gods and ancestors, sang and danced, and celebrated. Later, after evolution, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, after the victory of the large-scale war, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony was held at the noon gate. The emperor personally visited the city tower of the noon gate, held a grand ceremony, and accepted the prisoners. "The History of the Imperial Palace" recorded: "The country has a requisition, triumphantly sacrificed prisoners, and the emperor received a prisoner gift at the Imperial Noon Gate." ”
In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally participated in the captive ceremony at the Imperial Noon Gate, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded 4 times, all of which were in the Wanli period. Among them, Zhu Guozhen, who was captured in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli (1599), was recorded in "Yongbu Sketches and Offering Prisoners".
"Japanese prisoners" are Japanese prisoners in the "War to Resist Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea". The original story was as follows: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the head of Japan's Sekihaku, plotted to occupy Korea, invaded China, and launched a war of aggression against Korea. In the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), the Ming Dynasty sent troops in response to North Korea's request for help.
The following year, the Korean and Ming armies regained Pyongyang and approached Seoul (present-day Seoul). The Japanese army retreated to the south of Korea and pretended to negotiate peace. In 1597, Japan gathered heavy troops again and invaded Korea by water and land. In the following year, the Korean and Ming armies counterattacked and won successively. After the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Japanese army was forced to withdraw from Korea.
The Ming army captured the Japanese soldiers and offered them prisoners in front of the noon gate. On April 24, the 27th year of Wanli (1599), the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty held a ceremony to present prisoners. After finishing the work of the Criminal Department, Shangshu finally said:
"Go to the city to execute Cao, please order."
The emperor himself said: "Take it!" ”
In front of the noon gate, the space is large, there are many people, and the officials under the city tower can't hear what the emperor says, what should I do? There is a very interesting and effective method, that is, the two ministers on the left and right of the emperor repeatedly shout: "Take it!" Then the four people on the left and right shouted: "Take it!" In this way, one increased to two, two to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen, and finally the three hundred and sixty people, including the general of the Great Han, shouted in unison: "Take it!" "The sound was as loud as thunder.
Since Chongzhen received Yang Tingjian's recital, it is rare to smile every day, this beheading of thousands of Tartars is a joy, this Lin Dan Khan's sister took the tribe to submit to the Ming Dynasty, this is the second joy, and the eight traitors and traitors obtained more than 20 million taels of silver.
In Kunning Palace, Empress Zhou is changing Chongzhen's clothes and offering a prisoner to such an important state ceremony, Chongzhen definitely attaches great importance to it in his heart:
"Congratulations to the concubine, this morning the concubine heard the magpie outside the window, and the three joys came true."
"Hehe, this Yang Tingjian is a capable person, as long as this kid can pass the test, I will give him a champion to show his merits."
All right! Chongzhen is really stingy enough, Yang Tingjian helped him get so much silver, killed what a Tartar, and didn't even have a title, so he wanted to use the fame of a champion to send Yang Tingjian away. In fact, it can't be seen like this, Champion Lang is definitely the country's prime minister in peacetime, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Champion Lang's future is bright.
After Yang Tingjian saw the cabinet and the six books, he hurriedly dismounted and walked, at this time Yang Tingjian was already wearing the brocade guard official uniform, so it was not appropriate to wear a crescent moon gown on such a formal occasion.
"Humble Jinyi, Wei Nan Zhen, Fu Si, Zhen Fu Yang Tingjian, see all the adults."
Even if Yang Tingjian was wearing the official uniform of Jinyiwei, he still didn't kneel when he saw these court bigwigs, people with merit and fame could not kneel, and any low-level officials had to kneel and worship, which would not work here in Yang Tingjian.
If these bigwigs are dissatisfied because Yang Tingjian did not bow down, it is meaningless to Yang Tingjian, Yang Tingjian does not need to look at their faces, they are a group of mediocre talents who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures.
"Bingru, you have made a great contribution this time, hurry up and get on the horse, and the official will lead the horse for you."
Wen Tiren has long paid attention to Yang Tingjian, this kid is indeed a civil and military all-rounder, and there is the support of Fushe and Donglin behind him, and Jane is in the emperor's heart, so Wen Tiren, who is very ambitious, has always been ready to win over Yang Tingjian.
