Chapter 653 A knife in the throat has to be bitter
Afraid of power, he doesn't even keep the integrity of a scholar, hmph, the old man really mistook Lin Hengda, this person is so undisciplined! Coming out of the military headquarters, He Jian was still screaming and scolding with hatred, as if he didn't see those colleagues who quietly slipped away without even saying hello. 【Reading.com】
Wang Jianzhi walked beside him, but he didn't mean to stop it at all, he knew very well that his companion was not scolding, but venting. He saw the other people's retreat, He Jian's experience was still above him, no matter how excited he was, how could he not notice this thing?
The reason why he didn't scold others was just because he was still sensible, and he didn't want to do that senseless thing, so as not to commit public anger, and it was easy not to do such a thing as public anger, otherwise he would never recover.
Li Xiya has a high status, right? But because he didn't follow the crowd on the night of thunder and fire, he became angry with the public, and as a result, he was named an old woman, which was called a sneer and ridicule in Shilin. In fact, since August of the first year, the authority of the cabinet has not been as heavy as before, of course, because of the great power of the emperor, but also because of Li Dongyang's lack of prestige, it is difficult to convince the public.
In the Zhengde Dynasty, only the Son of Heaven in Yanjing and the plague god in Ningbo dared not to take the anger of the people seriously, and the others did not have that ability, so they naturally did not dare to do such a thing against the sky.
What's more, Wang Jianzhi asked himself, if he changed places, he was not sure if he would retreat, who would have thought that Xie Hong's revenge methods would be so cruel?
He Jian is not just venting anger, in fact, to a large extent, he is also venting the fear and confusion in his heart, as well as sorrow, Xie Hong is too ruthless!
Kill the whole family directly without determining the name of the punishment, not to mention the Tang and Song dynasties, even if the Mengyuan Tartars, they only treated the scholars like this in the early days of entering the Kou, after all, those barbarians don't know how to govern the world, and they have to rely on the scholars to maintain their rule, and they naturally won't treat the scholars and ordinary people equally.
At this time, the colleagues invited by Wang Jianzhi have almost dispersed, and only a few Jiangnan villagers who are sympathetic to each other are left.
Those few people have been scolding all the time, and the spearhead is also pointing at Lin Han, anyway, in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the two sides have already torn their faces, and they don't care about offending a little more, not to mention that they also need to vent.
"Your Excellency!"
Just like someone in later generations called a beautiful woman and a handsome guy, in Nanjing, the popularity rate of this title is really a bit high, so this shout alarmed a group of people. He Jian looked up, but saw that it was a person dressed as a Xu official, who was panting and chasing over here, he recognized that this person was serving in the Criminal Department.
"Ming Zhong, but something is wrong with the Criminal Department?" He stopped scolding and asked a nonsense, at this moment, what can the Criminal Department do, this is not Yanjing, I know that it is nonsense and ask, in fact, it is also a meaning of inquiry.
"Brother Shiguang will wait a minute, and the younger brother will explain later." Seeing the official, Wang Jianzhi's face became solemn at once, and he agreed with He Jian, so he hurriedly greeted him and talked to the man in a low voice.
"Lord He, this ......" For several Jiangnan officials, things have been so bad that they can't be worse, but seeing Wang Jianzhi's face becoming more and more solemn, and when they got to the back, that face was simply gloomy and could squeeze out bitter juice, they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, and they inquired into each other with their eyes, hoping to get a definite answer.
"Wait and see." He Jian waved his hand weakly.
He also felt that his heart was beating hard, what could be worse than now, he really couldn't think of it, but he knew very well what was the most important thing for him in the next few days, that is, revenge! From this point of view, the bad news is likely to be that revenge has become more difficult.
The enemy is Xie Hong, since February of the first year of Zhengde, there have been many people who want the life of this demon, but with the increase of his power, it is more and more difficult to kill him, and the best opportunity is no better than that winter, when he led the crowd to Liaodong, but unfortunately it was still a failure, which made people sigh.
It's not that no one has thought of using shady tricks, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been many assassins whose names have been left for eternity, as long as the person who kills is not a scholar, no one will question it.
However, Xie Hong's in-depth simplicity made people unable to find a chance at all.
When he was in the capital, this young man would occasionally go to the royal park, enter the palace once every three or five days, and spend most of his time in the armory department like an iron wall. Three points and one line, never go to other places, I really don't know how this person can endure the surname, squatting in one place every day, isn't he tired?
Of course, the scholars don't know that there is a creature called otaku in the later generations, and a person who stays at home will not feel lonely, Xie Hong has this kind of surname, not to mention that there are people in the Ordnance Department to accompany him? Not going out is not a pressure at all for Xie Hong.
He Jian didn't know the reason, he could only take it as a sign that Xie Hong was afraid of death. After Xie Hong arrived in Liaodong, it was like a dragon returning to the sea, and it was completely impossible to assassinate or anything, and he couldn't even find the main owner, and he stabbed a fart.
The subsequent attack on Lushun was the most courageous and the last action of the Jiangnan people, and the result was also a failure. Now, the family and the country have become one, but the hope of revenge is getting slimmer and slimmer, I hope the news brought by Wang Mingzhong will not be too bad, right? He Jian's heart was full of gloom.
In fact, Wang Jianzhi and the Xu official didn't talk for a long time, but for He Jian and the others, it was like waiting for a long winter, and it was easy to see the Xu official Shi Li leave, and Wang Jianzhi walked back with a blue face.
"Ming Zhong ......"
"Brother Shiguang, everyone, is it bad news......" seemed to sigh, Wang Jianzhi's soft words, listening to everyone's ears, but it was like a heavy hammer smashed on the temples, making their ears buzz, their eyes black, their own people have become miserable like this, there is even worse news?
"Just two days ago, the thief invited the Jiangnan family to hold a meeting in Ningbo...... Wang Jianzhi's voice was low, and he briefly said the news that the officials had inquired about, "Under the temptation of lucrative profits and the threat of butcher's knife, today's Jiangnan is no longer the Jiangnan of the past......
"How can they ......" He Jian was angry, only to feel that his throat was sweet, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he forced himself to suppress it and barely swallowed it back, but his face had turned purple, as if he had just been slapped a hundred or ten times.
What is the most important thing about being an official? The answer may be many, ability, talent, official position, fame...... These are all very important, but they are not the most important, let He Jian say, the most important thing is the party henchmen!
With enough henchmen, even without going out, they can still call for wind and rain in the court, and the whole court will resound with praise, the most typical example is the famous minister Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
An Shi is not out, Nai Cangsheng is he! What a loud slogan, is it because of his talent? No, if it weren't for the Eastern Jin Dynasty where the power of the Wang and Xie families was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and the party was full of henchmen, how could it have achieved Xie An's fame?
And all along, Xie Qian, Wang Wei and the backbone of the Shi Party have been able to unswervingly confront Xie Hong and the emperor Zhengde behind him because of the large and small families all over the south of the Yangtze River. Whether these people are out of office, or whether they are out or not, when they come together, they are extremely powerful.
Even if the attack on Lushun fails, they still have a backhand, and the big deal is to beat the world to pieces, in short, it will not make the two monarchs and ministers proud. But Xie Hong's stab in the throat cut off their foundation, and Jiangnan not only ceased to be their reliance, but also became the other party's help.
If you can't make a series of back-hand, what will you take revenge? I have to cry!
The reason why He Jian didn't vomit blood and faint was because he had the experience of being shocked by the bad news a few days ago, and after that kind of incident, his nerves were much tougher, and of course he would not be easily knocked down again.
How else can disasters make people grow? If you want to grow, more experience is the king.
"For today, for today!" When he spoke again, He Jian's voice was dry and hoarse, as if he had just come out of the desert, and he was still a little crying.
"For now, we can only proceed according to the original plan and use the last resort." Like a gust of wind blowing out from between Wang Jianzhi's teeth, several Jiangnan officials shivered.
"However, without Jiangnan's support, even if you are reluctant, how can you do it?" He Jian didn't have much confidence, if there was a regret pill, he would definitely try his best to advocate the early and comprehensive mobilization of all means. With Jiangnan's support, that plan may not be feasible, even if it is unfavorable to go north, he is confident that he will divide the river and govern it, but now...... Wang Jianyi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Xie Hong has done such a great rebellion, and all the people with lofty ideals in the world must be extremely angry, even if they are afraid of violence and dare not confront him head-on, they will not help him." When the volunteers on the Nanchang side are together, the world will inevitably follow, and they only need to go down the river, and the land south of the Yangtze River will definitely be transmitted, and the situation will naturally reverse at that time. Even if there is still disharmony, with us waiting, at least there will be no problem in taking Nanjing. ”
"But the thief is in Ningbo, and he has put on a huge battle, obviously to move the Tianjin set over, this is ......" He Jian didn't want to admit that he was afraid of Xie Hong, but in fact, he was afraid, although he also knew that Xie Hong didn't bring soldiers and horses with him, but when he thought of the other party there, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"It doesn't matter, Brother Shiguang, the younger brother will go to Nanchang before he says, and you will stay in Nanjing and wait. After the incident, I have already sent a letter to the capital to Wang Ge Lao, and it should be almost time to see it, you just have to wait for Wang Ge Lao's orders, rest assured, since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and the cycle of heavenly law will soon have dawn. ”
"Really?" He Jian ran to the capital less, and he knew relatively little, but he knew that Wang Jianzhi was very well-informed, and when he heard this, he was also very moved.
"Seriously!" Wang Jianzhi nodded vigorously and gave the other party a positive answer.
