Chapter 299 Zhao Li Jing entered Beijing and promised to be repositioned
"Shameless, how can there be such a courtier in the world, there is almost no monarch father, pass the decree, pass the decree, I want to remove him, pass on the brocade guards to escort him into Beijing, hand over the Si to ask for the guilt, I want to raze his three clans!"
In the Jinluan Palace, when Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen received the transcript of Datong Governor Zhang Tinggong handed over by the cabinet, as soon as he read it, he trembled with anger, and directly threw the notebook on the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The minister of civil and military affairs below did not dare to speak up, for fear of angering the emperor who was angry.
"Xiong Mingyu, you come over to me and tell me, how such rebellious ministers and thieves are ranked among the general soldiers of a town, and what are you doing in the military department!"
No one answered, and it was difficult for Zhu Youzhen, so he directly angrily nodded at the head of the military department, and roared wildly.
"Minister, ten thousand deaths."
Of course Xiong Mingyu can't say it, isn't this all from Your Majesty, if you really say it, the angry emperor has to peel him on the spot.
"Ministers, too, will die."
Seeing Zhu Youzhen's gaze swept over, Zhou Tingru and Wen Tiren also knelt on the ground at the same time, touching their heads to the ground, indicating their dereliction of duty, but this time, no one is engaged in party disputes anymore, because they can't afford to play, no one is a fool, and forcing Li Jing, who has 100,000 elites, is the last straw that crushes the camel for this country that is already in turmoil.
"Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, you wait, you wait~"
Zhu Youzhen was almost confused, but the matter still had to be solved, Li Jing led tens of thousands of troops, returned from Shaanxi, and went all the way out of the station, deep into the hinterland of Datong Town to meet the bones of his late father, such ugly things, if not punished, how will the imperial court control the generals in the future?
It's okay in other places, so if Jiliao's soldiers and horses follow suit, wouldn't the country be a general?
"Aren't you able to speak well on weekdays? Why don't you speak today? ”
"The minister has nothing to say, just because of the affairs of the department, which involves the society and has a major stake, the minister voluntarily returns to his hometown!"
Xiong Mingyu is heart retreated, this matter, he can't solve it, and he can't solve it, Li Jing goes further, the cabinet has to take a step back, but the key is that if the emperor doesn't retreat, then the cabinet has to be caught in the middle.
Even the elders can't solve it, doesn't he have to sit on wax when he introduces the secretary of the military department? Li Jing went further, he had no way to retreat, but now it was Li Jing who forced the court, not the court to suppress Li Jing.
He can see that now there are tens of thousands of Liaodong rebels in Shandong, and hundreds of thousands of Liukou in Shanxi, if Li Jing, who is sitting in Shaanxi, rebels again, the Ming court should also come to a dead end, he has no troops at hand, and Xuandatong may not be able to stop it, rather than being torn to pieces by the angry emperor, it is better to go home and farm early, it is better than a miserable end.
"I beg my emperor for mercy, the old minister is really more than enough and his strength is insufficient, the state affairs are busy, not to be underestimated, but the minister is old, he is really unable to manage, he just wants to return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, and ask my emperor for permission."
Xiong Mingyu has made up his mind, the affairs of the military department, whoever he loves is in charge, anyway, if he retreats bravely.
"Good! They all threaten me with resignation, what do I really dare to do? Come on! Take off this person's official hat and go out! ”
Zhu Youzhen was extremely angry, and directly pointed at Xiong Mingyu for a long time before shouting loudly.
Immediately, the guards in charge of the Jinluan Palace stepped forward, took off Xiong Mingyu's hat, and then pushed it out.
When the rest of the ministers saw this, they immediately felt sad, if they want to say this, can they blame him?
But it did not prevent some people from immediately setting their sights on the vacant position of the secretary of the military department.
But whether it is Zhou Tingru, or Wen Tiren, or even Xu Guangqi, none of these court bigwigs spoke, and no one dared to touch the emperor's brows at this stall, the matter will be resolved sooner or later, but the dispute between the court and the courtiers will not be able to end in a while.
Just one Li Jing, now it seems that he has become a big trouble, he is unruly and light, and the plot is real!
But he had no choice but to bite the soft underbelly of the court, if he forced him back, the society would be unstable, but if he had to obey him, how could the dignity of the court exist? The most important thing is that I am afraid of causing a joint reaction!
What should the local generals do if they see the decline of the imperial court and will not listen to the dispatch in the future?
Just as there was silence in the entire court, a person suddenly came in along the wall from the entrance of the main hall, and then quickly handed a notebook to the hand of Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi.
Cao Huachun didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he directly took the recital and held it high in front, went up the main hall from the side ladder, and knelt on the ground to ask the emperor to preview it.
You must know that today's court meeting, you are not allowed to enter without an order, and it must be extremely important to let the master of ceremonies send a special trip, and now the major events in the court and the central government, only the important affairs of Shanxi and Shandong can go directly to the heavens.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please read it, let's take a look, this Li Qing still knows about human affairs, please send the guilty book to defend yourself, let's discuss it."
Zhu Youzhen only looked at it for a while, and his face eased slightly, this is an excerpt specially sent by Li Jing from Shanxi, which is basically to justify his own affairs, and then it is to repay the merits, that is, the land of Shaanxi has been pacified, and he took back to Shanxi to serve his father's remains, preparing to guard the tomb for a month, and asked the emperor and the court to understand his filial piety.
At least with such a step, the court will not come to a passive situation, look, Li Jing has 100,000 soldiers and horses, does not take the court's money and silver, and strictly obeys the will of the court, and exterminates the thieves in Shaanxi.
At least everyone knows in their hearts that they can get by on face, and as for what they really want to punish him, isn't that forcing him to rebel?
So a group of ministers below have said beautiful words, this one says that my emperor is blessed, and that one is going to be celebrated, after all, the thieves in Shaanxi are gone, and half of the world is peaceful.
Occasionally, there are a few confused people, who are specially prepared to find uncomfortable in this stall, and they are also covered by their colleagues who are quick to see each other, you must know that now is not the time to settle accounts after the autumn, and besides, you may not know who is looking for whom to settle accounts.
Such a good court meeting turned into a celebration party, but nothing happened to Xiong Ming, he was now relaxed, and he lost the position of the secretary of the military department, but he was happy, at least he got out of this mud pond.
can't stand someone who is still stuck in this quagmire and can't extricate himself, Zhou Tingru is one of them, Xu Guangqi is also the top half, Wen Tiren is a cold bystander, full of thinking that nothing is wrong with him, but he can't stand the king who pretends to be smiling in front of the person and vicious towards the queen behind the person, moody.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing is now sitting big, if he uses a large army to conquer, he must have hundreds of thousands of people, but the treasury is empty, the place is rotten, and now is not a good time to use force."
As the first assistant of the current dynasty, Zhou Tingru had to come out to explain, otherwise this thousand catties of burden would have to crush him to death.
"Yes, Your Majesty, Li Jing's momentum has been achieved, if you want to deal with it, you must first reduce his henchmen and seize his military power before you can do it, otherwise once you counterattack, the society will be unstable."
Xu Guangqi originally didn't want to get involved, but in the notebook, he mentioned a name that he couldn't avoid, that is, Sun Yuanhua, the former governor of Denglai, and I don't know where the thief heard this name.
As Sun Yuanhua's master, he had to come out and say a sentence or two.
"I also know that I can't touch him now, but should I just let him run rampant and domineering in the place?"
Zhu Youzhen worked hard for state affairs all day long, tired day and night, but what made him feel desperate was that the country was not as good as day by day, and the place was not as good as day by day, and Shaanxi was finally pacified, but the bigger hidden danger, Shandong was in chaos again, and the rebels surrounded Denglai, as long as they went a little further west, they could cut off the Cao Yun, and then the million Cao Yun army would have no living conditions.
If there is any more trouble, the country will die.
Zhou Tingru is worthy of being the first assistant, and he is the most observant of words and feelings, so at this moment, he opened his mouth according to Zhu Youzhen's thoughts,
"Your Majesty, this son has always acted, where it is a plot and then decided, I think it has no objection, but it can still say and say peace, why don't you first use Shaanxi to pacify the matter, give the additional official into the knighthood, edict him to come to Beijing, promise to take a heavy position, and slowly reduce his wings, so, the imperial court will save the silver taels that are killed, and then add hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, how?"
"This method is wonderful, if he comes to Beijing, he will inevitably be cut off from his henchmen, and then recruit his subordinates in a heavy position, divide and divide them, and after a long time, he will be able to wait for the time to correct the law, and maintain the majesty of my emperor with the law of the court."
Sun Yuanhua nodded, then glanced at Wen Tiren beside him with a cold face, and said with a sneer, "I don't know what Lord Wen thinks?" ”
Originally, he had a good relationship with the cabinet ministers, because he was neutral and did not have any conflicts with others, but it was because of Sun Yuanhua's incident that he gradually became estranged from Wen Tiren, because Wen Tiren was slow to mention, and he was worried that he would be co-opted by Zhou Tingru, so he desperately attacked Sun Yuanhua's guilt, and wanted to put Sun Yuanhua to death to hit his prestige.
But Xu Guangqi was able to be the scholar of Dongge University and the Ministry of Etiquette, so naturally he was not easy to get along with, since Wen Tiren wanted to make the next move, don't blame him for tearing his face to fight.
"The two adults are both old Cheng Mou Guo's words, and they should be followed, and the ministers pleaded with the saints, and immediately issued an order to recruit Li Jing into Beijing and promise him a heavy position."
Zhu Youzhen didn't have time to listen to their infighting, and directly swept the dragon robe, "What position do you think Aiqing can be placed?" ”
"If you are not the governor of the capital of the five armies in Beijing, you can't do it, if you are willing to come, it is okay to wait for the position of the secretary of the military department."
As soon as these words came out, several people stopped talking, but no one raised any objections. (To be continued.) )
