For the first time, there was this deathly silence in the main hall, but the courtiers who had been arguing in the past stopped talking this time, and their faces were cloudy and uncertain, and even the eunuch Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies and the pen on the side, trembled his hands, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, even the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground in the main hall can be heard clearly, and Li Banghua, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, was about to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered what he had heard in the Marshal Mansion of Datong City.

"Li Banghua, I'm afraid you won't survive this Spring Festival!"

These words were like a dull wooden stick slamming on Li Banghua's head, and Li Banghua, who had just opened his mouth, woke up suddenly, feeling that his back was cold and sticky.

In the end, Li Banghua just opened his mouth, did not say a word, and sighed lightly in his heart.

"Its momentum has been achieved, what can I do, its momentum has been achieved..."

After being silent for a long time, it was Emperor Chongzhen who broke the calm and snorted coldly, this time Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Li Banghua, and finally left a sentence and walked away.

"You Aiqing should discuss carefully, come up with a punishment charter, and then come to the imperial study to see me, if you don't get rid of Xiao Yi, it will be difficult for Daming to be safe!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Chengen came out of the Imperial Palace one after the other, the courtiers all opened their mouths wide, what is going on, the emperor is not often angry on weekdays, how can he be so abnormal this time, and say so little.

But no matter what, I don't understand, at this moment, Wen Tiren, who is the head of the cabinet of the current dynasty, still has to come forward.

He cleared his throat and glanced around at the ministers of the court, and the ministers who looked at them all consciously lowered their heads, only a few scholars, such as Fu Zonglong, the secretary of the military department, and Liang Shi'an, the secretary of the ministry, did not change their gaze, and looked at Wen Tiren proudly.

Anyway, everyone has the same status in the court, and others are afraid of you Wen Tiren because you can manage them, but for Fu Zonglong and the others, Wen Tiren and Wen Tiren are not afraid of whom.

Wen Tiren: "Colleagues, this thief has become so arrogant, it's time to discuss it, come up with a punishment charter, and I will be a saint." ”

After hearing Wen Tiren's words, the ministers of the DPRK and China began to talk about it.

Suddenly, a person came out of the ranks, it was Hu Chengping who was in charge of the household department, this Hu Chengping was a member of the Wen Tiren Zhejiang Party, who was originally a corpse vegetarian meal, and was about to be dismissed and investigated, but after he found Wen Tiren to intercede, he did not fall but rose, and now he has long become one of Wen Tiren's many mouthpieces in the court.

Hu Chengping said sharply: "For the king? From this two words, we can see Xiao Yi's wolf ambition, let me ask, are we the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, or his Xiao Yi's ministers!? ”

As soon as this statement came out, the voice of condemnation above the hall intensified, and then Zhan Shi Xu Chengce came out of the ranks, this person is also a member of the Zhejiang Party, since Wen Tiren came to power, he ignored the increasingly fierce side affairs and the peasant army, but continued to cause chaos in the court.

Strive to eliminate dissent, as long as it is a person from the Zhejiang Party, whether or not there is a real talent are entrusted with important tasks, but it is trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, and there is no inaccuracy in the sparseness, and slowly the situation of Chongzhen's new policy is gradually declining.

Xu Chengce reprimanded loudly: "What kind of charter do you take, how many soldiers and horses can be gathered in a mere Shanxi, and I have hundreds of thousands of troops in the provinces of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty, is there no way to take a small Shanxi!" ”

"Yes! I have an army of nearly 200,000 in Xuanzhen alone, plus hundreds of thousands of troops in the land of Gyeonggi, it is not difficult to gather 400,000, how many soldiers and horses can Xiao Yi have? ”

The ministers in the palace discussed a lot, and finally looked at one person, that is, Li Banghua, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, who seemed to have changed since returning from Shanxi.

Wen Tiren also looked there, and asked lightly: "Li Yushi, how was the trip to Shanxi, but how many soldiers and horses did Xiao Yi have?" ”

Li Banghua is a person from Donglin, this time Daoshan was driven by Wen Tiren to do it, and he almost didn't come back, how could he give Wen Tiren a good face.

Immediately snorted coldly and said: "Although Xia Guan said that he went to Shanxi, he didn't hear any useful news, but he just listened to the maid in Xiao Yi's mansion that Xiao Yi has nine battalions of soldiers in his hands, but the number of people in each battalion is unknown to Xia Guan." ”

"The Ninth Battalion of Soldiers?"

After muttering a word, Wen Tiren looked at Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was silent on the side, and asked: "Commander Luo, the Jinyi Guard's guard in Datong has been controlled by Xiao Thief, but the entire Shanxi should not be controlled by it, after all, there will still be people who still have their hearts set on the imperial court?" ”

Cursing in his heart, Luo Yangxing's face was difficult, but he couldn't take Wen Tiren's words seriously.

Stubbornly said: "There is not much news from the guards in Shanxi, according to the estimation of the humble position, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in each battalion in Xiao Yi's hands, but there are quite a few Zhenwei battalions in various places. ”

Hearing this, everyone exhaled lightly.

Wen Tiren laughed, there was no worry in his eyes, and said: "Then Xiao Yi is afraid that he is too confident, even if he has 20,000 horses in the Yongan army, how can he compete with the 400,000 army of my imperial court, it is not a mantis arm as a chariot!" ”

"Yes, this matter should be reported to the Holy Saint as soon as possible!"

Luo Yangxing is so casual to say, in order to let them stop pestering themselves, naturally pick up a good saying, if Xiao Yi has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, then these Beijing officials who are ignorant of the world and are busy with corruption and party disputes in Beijing all day long have to be scared.

In the end, I'm afraid that he will be pushed out to be a substitute for the dead, at this time, he can say less than a word, as for the later investigation, anyway, Emperor Yuming didn't go by himself, and when the time comes, he will die and not admit it.

"However, it is still necessary to think long-term about dealing with Xiao Yi, after all, this matter is still disgraceful to the imperial court, and Xiao Yi has won such a big victory, although the king is a little exaggerated, but the marquis and the uncle are more than enough. Don't forget, there are still hundreds of Yong'an Army people detained in the small courtyard, how to deal with these people. ”

Suddenly, Fu Zonglong, the secretary of the military department, said this coldly.

After hearing this, Wen Tiren glanced at Fu Zonglong and chuckled.

"What Fu Shangshu said is very true, to deal with the Yongan Army, it is still necessary to start from Xiao Yi, so if there is no Xiao Yi in the Yongan Army, will he dare to go against the court? Why don't you summon him to the palace and then 'discuss' about the king? ”

When he said this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Wen Tiren's mouth, and the rest of the courtiers looked suddenly enlightened, and even a few people came out to praise this statement.

"What the elder said is really like heaven, so I can't wait for it!"

"yes!"

Seeing this, Fu Zonglong snorted coldly with disdain, and didn't say anything, and the rest of the Donglin people only looked coldly.

However, these did not prevent Wen Tiren from being complacent, and he was at the peak of his life, and he didn't even bother to think about what was wrong with his seemingly seamless strategy.

When he swaggered into the imperial study with the two eunuchs, he presented the rules of procedure on the hall to Emperor Chongzhen.

......

On the afternoon of the third day of the second month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to summon Xiao Yi, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to Beijing to discuss the matter of sealing the king.

When the news reached Datong City, Shanxi was shaken, and the world was full of discussions.
