Chapter 201: Calm

In April of the fifth year, after careful consideration, Wu Fanhui finally wrote two memoranda to the emperor, one of which was about the Dengzhou Mutiny, and the other was about the rebellion of the Liukou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In both letters, Wu Fanhui expressed a point of view, that is, to completely exterminate the rebels and the rebels, with the assistance of appeasement, and strict control over the appeasement, where there is a rebellion and rebellion, there will never be any chance again.

To put forward such a viewpoint, Wu Fanhui carefully analyzed it in the course of the twists and turns.

In terms of the rebels, he believes that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Li Jiuru and others, from the day of the rebellion, did not think of returning to the imperial court, they proclaimed themselves the title of marshal, general and general, in fact, it is a rebellion, the imperial court must not be because Dengzhou has a large number of firearms and grain and grass, so as to throw a mouse, always thinking about recruiting Kong Youde and other rebels, if the imperial court can not make up its mind, send an elite army, completely exterminate Kong Youde and others, it will cause greater losses.

From the perspective of the rebels in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Fujian and other places, the strategy of appeasement is very good, but unfortunately the rogues can not understand the emperor's painstaking efforts again and again, but they think that the court is easy to fool, once they encounter danger, they will return to the court, and they will rebel again and again.

For the rogue, be sure to kill their main leader, and never spare it.

These two folds write out Wu Fanhui's true thoughts.

As the editor of Hanlin and the duty of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wu Fanhui has the power to write directly to the emperor, so his recital is directly to the emperor, and will not go through the cabinet and the six ministries.

Wu Fanhui's two folds sank into the sea, and there was no news, obviously the folds were left by the emperor and not sent.

This made Wu Fanhui a little disappointed, but it was also expected by him, the seventeen-year-old Wu Fanhui was just written by Hanlin, and it was only about four months when he was on duty in the court, and the emperor must have thought that he Wu Fanhui was on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, and after reading so many folds and documents, he had anger in his heart, so he wrote such a fold, which was just a manifestation of the young man's righteous indignation.

The emperor did not transfer the twists and turns to the cabinet for processing, which shows that the emperor still has the intention of protecting him Wu Fanhui, you must know that if such a twist and turn is transferred to the cabinet, many adults in charge of the cabinet will definitely look at it differently.

Wu Fanhui tried his best, but he would not give up, since the emperor left his recitals in the middle and did not send them, it means that the emperor has read these recitals carefully, and then he will continue to write the recitals, hoping to impress the emperor.

At the end of May, the unfortunate news came again, Liu Yulie, the right-hand attendant of the military department who temporarily acted for the suppression of the rebels in Shandong, mistakenly believed that the rebels were bewitching, and in the process of negotiating with the rebels, he was attacked by the rebels, suffered heavy losses, and was forced to retreat to Changyi.

Zhang Guochen, the crown prince sent by the imperial court, was the highest-ranking civil official among Liao officials, and went to appease Kong Youde and his rebels on behalf of the imperial court, and ordered reinforcements from all walks of life not to attack Kong Youde's troops.

Wu Fanhui immediately wrote down the memora again, analyzing the current situation in detail, and he believed that the situation had reached a critical point, and the imperial court must completely abandon the idea of appeasement, send an elite army, and completely exterminate Kong Youde and his rebels.

This time, there was still no news.

Wu Fanhui finally felt a little desperate, he found that the emperor was afraid that he really did not have such a strong ability, was indecisive in doing things, hesitated, and had a worthless mercy mentality, such a mentality would make the Ming Dynasty collapse more quickly.

The details of Laizhou City, the court does not know, because it has been surrounded by rebels, but Wu Fanhui knows, at this time there is a greater unfortunate news, the emperor and the court do not know, that is, Xu Congzhi, the governor of Shandong, should have died in battle, the military and civilians of Laizhou are still desperately resisting under the command of Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, but a greater tragedy will appear, because the emperor does not know the situation, and his heart is still thinking about recruiting Kong Youde, Next, under the influence of this thought, Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the governor of Laizhou, will die at the hands of Kong Youde.

Also at the end of May, Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was enshrined as a scholar of Dongge University, entered the cabinet to participate in politics, and was released by Kong Youde and put into prison by the imperial court, the former governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, and Yu Dacheng, the former deputy envoy of the right capital and the governor of Shandong, who was also thrown into prison, began to discuss how to deal with the matter.

The controversy in the cabinet was extremely fierce, and the proposal of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Guangqi, the minister of the cabinet, was to pardon, and the opinion of Wen Tiren, the second assistant of the cabinet, was to make a decisive decision.

The emperor's opinion was biased in favor of Wen Tiren.

In fact, at this time, the emperor no longer particularly trusted Zhou Yanru.

Of course, the emperor still relies on Zhou Yanru, thinking that Zhou Yanru is very talented and can handle government affairs well.

This made Wu Fanhui, who drafted the vote, unable to write, and didn't know how to write the vote.

In Wu Fanhui's view, Sun Yuanhua was unforgivable, credulous in his own ability, and thought that Kong Youde would submit to the imperial court, but he caused such a big trouble.

If Sun Yuanhua had made a quick decision at the beginning, with the 3,000 people under Kong Youde, who had no money or food, and could not get any supplies, he would have been completely wiped out in the Wuqiao area, and he would have no chance to return to Dengzhou, let alone take Dengzhou City, and then capture the prefecture counties and counties in Denglai.

Today's Kong Youde, with more than 20,000 sergeants under his command, is different from the ordinary.

However, whether he wants to kill Sun Yuanhua is a matter worth discussing, after all, Sun Yuanhua is unpredictable about Kong Youde's ambitions, or he does not have such a long-term understanding.

In terms of whether or not to behead Sun Yuanhua, the struggle between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren was mixed, which many cabinet ministers could see, and Xu Guangqi, who had just entered the cabinet, protected Sun Yuanhua completely because of the friendship between teachers and students, but did not get involved in this political struggle.

In the end, Wu Fanhui did not draft this vote, but Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren each wrote the vote and presented it to the emperor.

On June 15, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, specially found Wu Fanhui and asked how he felt about being on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, at this time Wu Fanhui Wenyuan Pavilion had been on duty for six months, that is, half a year, and this was the first time Zhou Yanru had found Wu Fanhui to talk.

During the conversation, Wu Fanhui was very calm, and he said how he felt about being on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, that is, he received training and so on, and as for matters involving government affairs, he never talked about it.

There is a good saying, some people give a little sunshine and it will be bright, that is not knowing the height of the sky, the contradiction between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren has shown signs of intensification, at this moment, Zhou Yanru found him to talk to Wenyuan Pavilion on duty, who knows what intentions, and Wu Fanhui has been on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion for five months, and he feels that Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren's abilities are not hot, and when they deal with things, they may not necessarily think about the emperor and the court.

After Zhou Yanru's conversation ended, Wen Tiren also found him Wu Fanhui and asked how he felt about being on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion.

This made Wu Fanhui quickly perceive the danger.

Although he is a Hanlin cultivator and is on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, but in the eyes of the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet, it is indeed nothing, and it is very simple for people to deal with him, as the saying goes, the height is not cold, so young to be on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, let everyone envy at the same time, but also take a lot of risks.

Now it seems that the contradiction between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren is about to sharpen, the big ghosts fight, the little ghosts suffer, Wu Fanhui will never stay out of the matter, he must find a way, either to leave Wenyuan Pavilion, or even to leave the capital, or to choose who to turn to.

Wu Fanhui will not choose to take refuge in Zhou Yanru or Wen Tiren, but he will use the contradiction between the two to create a favorable gaming environment for himself.

On June 25, Wu Fanhui wrote to the emperor for the third time, putting forward his views on the Dengzhou mutiny, and this time his attitude was very clear, believing that Kong Youde and his ilk were thinking of plotting against the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this kind of mention has the meaning of raising Kong and virtue, but Wu Fanhui has no way out, he wrote to the emperor three times in a row, in fact, he is finding a way out for himself, so that he can leave Wenyuan Pavilion as soon as possible, leave the Hanlin Academy, and try not to stay in the capital, which is a waste of time.

On the third day after Wu Fanhui wrote the fold, the Shandong side arrived again.

Xu Congzhi, the governor of Shandong, sacrificed his life for the country in the battle to encircle the city of Laizhou, which had been besieged by the rebels for more than four months, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were still desperately resisting under the command of Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wancheng, the prefect.

This repercussion caused a huge repercussion in the court, but the emperor still did not make a clear statement.

It's July 12th.

Another 600-mile expedited performance was sent to the capital, and it was still related to Dengzhou Laizhou.

Liu Yulie, the right attendant of the military department who presided over the military affairs of Shandong, was once again bewitched by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming and others, agreed to his request to return to the imperial court, and ordered Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai, and Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, to negotiate with Kong Youde, but Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian were both captured by the rebels, and the rebels escorted the two and ordered Yang Yufan, the general soldier of Shandong stationed in the capital of Laizhou, to surrender.

Zhu Wannian, the prefect of Laizhou, scolded the Liukou and ordered Yang Yufan to open fire, and Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian all sacrificed their lives for the country.

It was this twist and turn that made the emperor finally make up his mind to convene the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, the left and right imperial histories, and the six servants in the Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter of the Dengzhou Mutiny.
