Chapter 89 Resolution on Admission to Beijing
Yuan Yingtai from Liaoyang, the mood these days is as turbulent as a roller coaster. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info was first instructed by the Jingluo Prefecture to send troops, but the army was defeated in Tieling. During the entire decision-making process, no one reminded him, which made Yuan Yingtai feel a little afraid. Obviously, both military attachΓ©s and civilian officials under them are interested in seeing their own jokes.
The Donglin Department of the capital and the three parties are making trouble for entering the cabinet, and this trend has also affected Liaoyang, which is hundreds of miles away. Colleagues who had a good time seeing each other in the past were silent the whole time when they met, for fear of getting into trouble. Especially after Zhu Wanliang's defeat in Tieling, Liaoyang City was even more gloomy.
Yuan Yingtai, who was in a depressed mood, sighed for a while, but three days later, the good news spread frequently, first received the news of Fushun's liberation, Yuan Yingtai did not have time to celebrate, and the next day received the good news of the recovery of Tieling. This series of great victories not only made Yuan Yingtai dumbfounded, but even the officials of Liaoyang Mansion were stunned. Before this, most people were not optimistic about whether Fushun could hold on, let alone imagine that the Ming army would be able to recover Tieling in one fell swoop under extremely difficult circumstances.
Yuan Yingtai's gloomy mood suddenly became cheerful, and he urgently ordered the transfer of military rations and materials to Fushun, and at the same time ordered Li Bingcheng, the general soldier of Liaoyang, to lead his troops to enter Tieling. While arranging the transfer of the Ming army, Yuan Yingtai began to consider the aftermath.
Zhu Wanliang defeated Tieling, Yuan Yingtai did not know anyone, this is an ironclad matter, Yuan Yingtai hopes to minimize the negative impact of this matter. Soon Yuan Yingtai and Chen Ce of Fushun reached a compromise, and both sides agreed that it was the deputy general Zhu Wanliang who was greedy for life and afraid of death that led to the crushing defeat of the Ming army. After receiving Chen Ce's affirmative reply, Yuan Yingtai waved his pen and ordered the treasury to be opened and pay the military merit salary in advance for the Fushun garrison.
However, after opening the treasury, everyone found that Liaodong had been in war for many years, and it was already beyond their means, and the library was empty enough to run mice.
In desperation, Yuan Yingtai wrote down the process of the siege of Fushun as a song, and quickly sent it to the capital, asking the military department to inspect the military merits and reward the meritorious people. Yuan Yingtai's resolute series of actions made Zhu Wanliang, who fled back to Liaoyang, look like earth.
Zhu Wanliang has been a general for many years, how can he not understand the danger of the incident. After returning to Liaoyang, although Zhu Wanliang did not come out, he had many eyes and ears, and soon found out a series of actions of Yuan Yingtai. After Zhu Wanliang thought about it, his confidant sent his Chen Qing to the capital quickly
Under the game of all parties, the turbulent undercurrent in Liaoyang gradually calmed down, but the atmosphere in the capital became weird.
On 20 May, Liu Yijun, the first assistant to the cabinet, asked the emperor to reward the meritorious ministers stationed in Shun, and at the same time he believed that Yuan Yingtai should be rewarded for his conscientious and good use of people since his arrival.
The ministers had no opinion on the first half of Liu Yijun's sentence, but the second half of the sentence was like a bomb thrown into a pit, blowing up the court into a piece of, and suddenly all kinds of opposition rushed to the front.
Zhang Yandeng, who was previously involved in the incident of He Zongyan's entry into the cabinet, believed that Liu Yiyan's speech was pure fart. Zhang Yandeng enumerated that since Yuan Yingtai took office, the people outside the Guanxi have been living in poverty, and the refugees from Liaodong have come ashore in Dengzhou every day, and the governor of Denglai, Tao Langxian, has complained frequently. Yuan Yingtai militarily allowed the Mongols to wander the people, causing a mutiny in Shenyang and almost causing chaos. And this time Fushun siege, Yuan Yingtai was even more responsible, knowing that Zhu Wanliang's level was limited, and deliberately sent him to attack Tieling, resulting in the defeat of the Ming army. If it weren't for the fig leaf of the Battle of Fushun, Yuan Yingtai would have been removed from office and investigated.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all human spirits, and they immediately sensed the intentions. Zhu Wanliang was Yuan Yingtai's subordinate of the Donglin Department before, but at this moment, Zhang Yandeng, a member of the Qi Party, deliberately covered up for Zhu Wanliang, which is very interesting.
Soon, the members of the three parties who had come back turned their guns one after another, and asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to order Yuan Yingtai to be reprimanded. Yuan Yingtai's various tricks since taking office have become the handle of the three parties' attacks.
The members of the three parties, led by Yuan Shijiao, the leader of the Qi party, first came up with a detailed number of displaced people who had landed at the Denglai port since the beginning of spring. At the same time, he also swore to the emperor that this was only a number on the surface, and there were countless refugees who fled to Liaoxi and landed secretly.
In the end, Yuan Shijiao said that he would not object to rewarding the Fushun Ming army, but the resettlement of displaced people also requires the court to contribute money and efforts, otherwise in case there is a civil uprising in Denglai and Denglai, who will be responsible?
Yuan Shijiao's "righteous speech" was quickly supported by many ministers in the court, such as Huang Yanshi of the Chu Party and Yao Zongwen of the Zhejiang Party, and even Gu Tianjun, the leader of the Kun Party who had not appeared for a long time, and Tang Binyin, the leader of the Xuan Party, also stood up and spit out a string of bubbles, brushing their presence to express their support.
The Donglin family is not monolithic in Yuan Yingtai's affairs, but party insiders can't withstand the bombardment of the propaganda cannons of the three parties. As external pressure increased sharply, party members with different views quickly reached a reconciliation with the mainstream of the party, and quickly turned around and unanimously turned their guns on the outside world.
An invisible battle is imminent, everyone is gearing up for this, and even staring at the high-flying Zhu Youxiao, hoping to pull him down into troubled waters together, and then take the opportunity to make a name for himself.
Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao's originally nervous heart calmed down slightly. A few days ago, he wanted to build an airstrip outside the city, so that the rumored flying chickens could come to the capital for a ride to satisfy his curiosity. But it was such a thing, but it was pushed back by Zhao Nanxing, the head of the household, with a sentence of "no money".
Zhu Youxiao was not discouraged after being angry, but wanted to see the legendary plane with his own eyes. Fortunately, Gonggong Wei, who was beside him, came up with an idea, saying that through the allocation of funds from the inner treasury, he could build an airport by waiting for the right time.
Last time, the officials of the DPRK and China fixed their eyes on the inner library, but fortunately, Zhu Youxiao woke up quickly, so he didn't give those moths too many chances. It's just that after that, the Donglin Party successively sent Zhao Nanxing, Liu Yixiao and others to try it repeatedly, and the annoyed Zhu Youxiao blocked him back with the excuse of "deciding the cabinet candidates first".
The Donglin Party gradually understood that the emperor did not trust the current cabinet ministers and did not want to hand over the inner treasury to them. It is no wonder that the independence of the Ming Dynasty has been more than 200 years, at this time it is already a river is declining, the domestic famine continues, and the foreign army is used for many years, at this moment, the inner library has become the last piece of fat in the court, the emperor is cautious, and everyone can understand.
Since then, the Donglin Party has not mentioned Neku again, focusing instead on the matter of cabinet selection. It's just that the previous incident of He Zongyan's entry into the cabinet made some noise within the Donglin Party, and it was not so easy to promote.
At present, the court is arguing inseparably, and the Donglin Party hopes that the emperor will make a statement, but Zhu Youxiao is holding his own abacus in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you say that there are many people in Denglai and Denglai, why don't you let them come to the outskirts of Beijing and build an airstrip runway for me?"
"Your Majesty, the tyranny of Qin and Sui and the excessive drive of the people's power have led to rebellion and thieves all over the world, and the Ming Dynasty must not follow suit."
It was Zhao Nanxing who spoke, he had long heard about the emperor's desire to build an airstrip, and he was one of the main opponents.
"Zhao Aiqing, I am not driven at will, I am willing to pay wages, let the displaced people have food and clothing, wait for stability outside the border, and then let the displaced people return to their hometowns, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
"Your Majesty, all the people in the world are your people, if you love the people, you should allocate funds to help the homeless, instead of driving the people to satisfy their own selfishness."
Zhao Nanxing stopped talking when he said this, and if he continued, he was going to touch his head, he was upright by nature, he was just putting on a show for the people below, and if he really wanted to be hard with the emperor, he really couldn't do it.
Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and was in a dilemma, building the airport runway was something he had been thinking about for a long time, and now these courtiers made it clear that they didn't want to let themselves succeed, how could this be good. There was a lot of noise in the court, and no one paid attention to the emperor who was high above. Zhu Youxiao sighed in a low voice, and said in his heart that he was not as comfortable as an ordinary person, so why bother.
Several parties in the court were noisy and did not give in to each other, Liu Yixiao bowed to the emperor with a bitter face: "Your Majesty please allocate funds and reward meritorious ministers." β
There was silence all around, and everyone stared at the Emperor of the Apocalypse to see what he said.
Zhu Youxiao pretended to cough and hesitated for a while before saying: "The appropriation matter, if there is a surplus in the treasury, it can be handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and it can be discussed with the cabinet. β
After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers were stupid for a long time. Han Yi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, the emperor wanted to bargain, it was only less than half a year, and he actually learned to take advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking about it, Han Yi still stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there are many skilled craftsmen in the DPRK and China, and it must not be difficult to build a runway, but Liaodong has won successive victories, and it is the restoration of the homeland, and the morale of the Ming army is high. According to Weichen's plan, His Majesty might as well use the inner treasury to pay in advance, and it is important to appease the Liaodong soldiers first. β
"Phew, Han Xiangyun was clever in his words, and he actually encouraged the emperor to work hard and hurt the people, this is your way of being an official? Lao Chen resolutely disagreed with Han Xiangyun's statement. β
Zhao Nanxing spat everywhere, and the members of the three parties who disagreed suddenly felt refreshed. The members of the three parties pointed and pointed, and stood quietly to the side to watch the internal struggle of the Donglin Party. Zhu Youxiao on the dragon chair, after listening to Han Yi's words, was originally filled with three points of hope, but who knew that he was slapped into the water by Zhao Nanxing again, and the angry Zhu Youxiao's heart fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Han Yi is an upright person and is more flexible than Zhao Nanxing. But the compromise method of interest exchange could not be said in public in front of the courtiers and the emperor, and Zhao Nanxing was pressing step by step, so Han Yi had no choice but to accompany the smiling face, and he was submissive to this Hubu Shangshu who was more than ten years older than him. Everyone saw that Zhao Nanxing was ruthless to Han Yi, and some good deeds said in a strange voice: "Lord Zhao, this is the court, not your family, you want to train your grandson to go home, don't come here nonsense, where the prestige of the court is, how can you be an example for hundreds of officials?" β
"Who is it, come out for me, we will confront each other face to face, stand behind the person and speak coldly, this is a villain, and he has the ability to stand up and confront the old man openly!"
Zhu Youxiao has long been annoyed by the fire, and has been closing his eyes on the dragon chair to recuperate. Suddenly heard the roar of Old Man Zhao, and knew that something was wrong. Zhu Youxiao stood up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue to discuss business, where did we talk about it just now?" By the way, I want to reward the meritorious heroes of the Fushun War in person, I wonder if you have any objections? β
Wei Dazhong was honest by nature, and said without thinking too much: "Your Majesty, the capital is more than 1,500 miles away from Fushun, this comes and goes, and the delay is too much. β
Zhu Youxiao was happy in his heart, and he said that it was really beneficial to have a person who set up a stage, so he hurriedly followed the stubble and said: "What Wei Aiqing said is extremely true, Liaodong is time-consuming, so I want to build an airstrip, so that the flying chicken can fly to the capital in an instant, one is to entertain the meritorious people of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to let the people see the majesty of my Ming Dynasty and revitalize the atmosphere of Kyushu, I don't know what the ministers think?" β
The courtiers in the court looked at each other, but they didn't expect that after waiting for so long, the emperor was still bent on building the runway. Some people are lively, and although they can be famous for being tough with the emperor, the price is also quite heavy, and following the emperor's mind is more effective. So the undercurrent began to surge in the court again.
Finally, someone couldn't hold it back and stood up and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, Liao affairs have been eroded for a long time, and at the beginning of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, you should meet with people of merit, which is a good thing for the country and the army." β
With Yao Zongyuan's speech, a group of people quickly jumped out below. Zhao Nanxing's face was flushed, but his words were slight at the moment, and he couldn't stop the general trend.
Just when Zhu Youxiao was satisfied with the performance of his ministers, Liu Yixiao suddenly took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Shen Jia, the garrison of Dongzhou Fort, that is, the former overseas master, has a magic car, but he can travel thousands of miles a day, so it is better to drive by him, what does Your Majesty think?" β
Miracle car? Traveling thousands of miles a day?
Nima's, mythical story, who is this deceiving? The ministers in the court looked disdainful.
Zhu Youxiao thought about it and felt that the magic car seemed to be good, so he said: "What Shoufu said is very true, then do so, and arrange for Shen and Fu to come to Beijing as soon as possible, I want to meet them." β
